She’ll need company. Maybe being around other wolves will help ease her anxiety. I’ll try to shift and spend a few hours with her and see if that helps calm her down. We could put a ring of ash around the barn so Victoria can’t run out and she’ll have more space to walk around if she needs it.

I bet Presley would be willing too. I wish I could offer to do that too. You have enough on your mind. I’ll see about the ash. Remind the vampires it will help keep her contained which it sounds like he wants. 

[lucas-jackson]

elleryjackson​:

I understand, Luke. Trust me. I know. You’re not telling me anything I don’t already know. This is going to be terrible for Victoria and everyone else involved. Right now there is a human who is bleeding out on Peyton’s bed with several wolf bites on her body that needs to be healed. Once Nicolaus moves Victoria to the barn we’ll figure out what to do. If you would like to negotiate with him, by all means, go ahead. 

Sorry. It just feels like we can’t keep waiting with this for Victoria. Go figure out the human. If you need anything let me know and we can talk about helping Victoria later. 

[lucas-jackson]

elleryjackson​:

Nicolaus told Moll he’s moving Victoria to the barn. Hopefully that’ll help settle her down. She’ll be less antsy somewhere she can pace and stretch her legs.

We don’t even know what that collar is doing to her. What if the barn isn’t enough? I guess we’ll all be out there for the full moon soon enough. We should try to get him to stop. He did for the party. Maybe he’s bored of it and if we offered to take turns, give him different wolves. El, Victoria wouldn’t have wanted to do that. The longer she’s left like this the more likely something bad happens again.

silasbriar​:

I reserve the right to be disappointed in the so-called great Devereaux pack and whatever it is that they teach you these days. I was a witch first. You are wrong, but I’m willing to sidestep that for now for that other bit of juicy information. The bit about you and the Jacksons being related to the Alpha? Congratulations, that’s the most interesting thing you’ve said since I moved in.

Be disappointed all you want. So sorry to have offended your ancient witch feelings on things. So you guys don’t have ears everywhere like you made a big show of when you first arrived. Good to know. 

[lucas-jackson]

elleryjackson​:

That’s because one of them trapped her in there with Victoria, who despite being bonded, isn’t in control because of that collar. She won’t even remember doing it.

Fuck. Fuck. Does he still has her locked up in the bathroom? We have to do something. Make a deal to have him let her out. 

[lucas-jackson]

...

No that couldn’t have. Victoria’s the only wolf unless one of of the vampires did something. 

I feel like this is a bi-weekly occurrence now, but one of the humans need urgent attention and vampire blood, she was bitten by a werewolf.

[lucas-jackson]

codiemohren​:

It’s okay, I’m making the most of it where I can. No, it wasn’t easy at all, especially since it was my family. But I think maybe I can get used to calling you guys my pack. I like most of you, at least.

You like most of us, huh? That’s a win for us. We’ve not been giving the best impressions lately. I’m sorry you had to come here without your family. That sucks. 

[lucas-jackson]

silasbriar​:

Did you just poo poo witch politics in the same breath as declaring yourself a Devereaux wolf? Oh that’s rich. No one’s asking you to be involved. In fact, I’m sure they’re begging you not to. But it might do you well to know who’s a witch to which coven. 

You care way too much about this for a vampire, dude. And that’s what I meant, they don’t want me involved in witch things. And maybe as a wolf I see it different. Victoria’s a Devereaux... but she’s also my sister. So she’s not a Jackson by name but she’s also not not one. Aurora can be both. Born a Black and now married and a Devereaux. Really not all that complicated. 

[lucas-jackson]

codiemohren​:

It’s okay– We had rules. Physical harm was the big thing. Emotional harm is normal in life, it comes and goes. Things get tricky when you bring in intent and helping others. That’s why our pack was so secluded. They were flawed in their beliefs and didn’t think things through, that’s why I left. There’s no way you can survive or help others – or protect anyone for that matter – if you’re hiding. 

Yeah, you can’t do much in hiding. I’m glad you came. I’m sorry it was... this you came to. Leaving your pack couldn’t have been easy. Most wolves who show up, they either have been on their own or they are one of us.

[lucas-jackson]

silasbriar​:

No. She cannot. Do you–– 

Know the history and the goings on of the witches you reside with, wolf. Start on that bottle. I wasn’t going to pregame but I’ll start on my bloody own too. 

Not really my job to be involved in witch politics. I’m a Devereaux wolf. I did what Bran told me to do. Most of the time.  Straight from the bottle. Okay. Can do. 

[lucas-jackson]

codiemohren​:

I, uh.. didn’t know, honestly. That was the whole point of coming here, to figure out if there was a way without causing harm or fighting. 

How do you decide what harm is? Do you limit that to physical harm? If you help someone else who ends up doing the hurting is that okay?

Sorry I you don’t have to answer all those questions. I have never known a pacifist wolf is all. 

[lucas-jackson]

silasbriar​:

Aurora is a Devereaux, by way of marriage. By the gods, keep up.

You are now. Sit. 

I think she can be both. Fine. I’m sitting.

[lucas-jackson]

codiemohren​:

..Uh, no– I didn’t come to fight, no. Just help. Presley helped explain it better, so I’m.. a little more open now, but I still don’t want to hurt anyone. That might change in the future, but who’s to say? 

So how do you plan on helping? I mean that genuinely. I don’t... if it comes down to it, I don’t want to kill anyone. I know I’m going to need to fight though. 

[lucas-jackson]

silasbriar​:

Wonderful. Sit and let’s work on two bottles. I’m sure the Blacks won’t mind. They’re mostly dead or in a cell or… hiding in a closet somewhere, anyway. What’s your pick?

Who’s hiding in a closet? That doesn’t sound very Aurora.

Oh, I wasn’t lining up. 

[lucas-jackson]

codiemohren​:

Yep, duh, got it. Knockin’ on my forehead, too, for good measure.

Yeah? Don’t think I’m too soft for all that?

I’ll do it for you too.

I think you’re a wolf. And what you could do will surprise you. And you came here after all, to help and I assume that means fight. Cant’s be all soft.

[lucas-jackson]

You literally have a house of wolves that basically all can drink an entire bottle of something and hopefully feel buzzed. Makes most of the manor heavy drinkers. 

Do we have any heavy drinkers in our midst? I desire entertainment and a distraction. And a minor blood experiment. Don’t be shy. Form a line.

presleystone​:

My parents used to fight. All the time. Endlessly. I know that doesn’t match with the whole Stone family image everyone loves so much. But by the time we moved to America, my parents were practically foaming at the mouth at the dinner table. Every. Single. Night. I hated it. I hated the way the both just tore at each other just to do it. I hated the fighting and the shouting and how much no one listened. I always just sat and listened. i figured if they couldn’t hear each other then maybe someone would hear them. And I think somewhere along the way….. I learned. Practiced a thousand times and it stuck. Then things got different and when I came to the pack eventually – Elias sucked. My first week there him and his buddies knocked my lights out so hard I think I forgot my name for a few days. They never really stopped after that. And it made me furious and I wanted nothing more than to to prove to them that they were wrong. So I channeled it there. Into proving they were wrong. Every day, again and again, training and training and training, until it worked. Same with when the Compound attack came and everyone was dead and it all felt hopeless. Same when they all rose up and tried to take the pack from Derrick, same when Eden was murdered and these vampires came in here and tried to rub it in all of our faces. I – I sit with myself. And I tell myself a thousand times. And I breathe anger through my nose and into my ribs and into my knee until it hurts so bad I can’t think. And I shove it into the ground until it goes into the earth and becomes power. Power to help. It’s the only thing that works for me. I do that and I think and I think and I think. Whenever I’m alone, with my guitar, not sleeping, doing all that stuff people think I’m a freak for. I’m always just thinking. About all of it. I like being in the quiet and I like the peace and sorting my thoughts. But none of that just got there because it got there. Those are my tools. That I figured out. Practicing a thousand million times. You may not be patient. You may not be even keeled. Not everyone is. You have to find what your tools are Lucas. You have to work and work and practice talk to yourself and give your anger to something else and find a way to channel into the things that matter to you. It’s not quite the same as burying it. Burying it only asks for it to come back. 

That’s... a lot. You sound kinda like Victoria, sending it into the ground. She had told me something, not that and how you make it work, but using the ground and the power to calm. Maybe I need to figure out how to find my own quiet in all this. It was easier when I could run and the disconnected didn’t matter. And for the record, not sure who you think is calling you a freak but I doubt it’s really that many. Thanks. For explaining how it works for you.
