Happy New Year!

“God, this is unbelievable, this shit only happens in movies!” And to think only ten minutes before she’d insisted to Bryan that there was no way this would happen. “So much for credibility.” Lily rubbed at her face with both hands and pressed herself back against the wall, if Lucien or his boys came around the side of the house they would see her but from where they were right now there was no way they could see down the hallway. She had a few moments of respite to think, to plan, staying where she was not an option. “Think Lily, think,” she said making a fist and pounding it against her forehead. It didn’t help. “Damn, damn, damn,” she whispered to herself. In her gut she could feel her time running out and nothing, no plans formed in her head. Talking to Lucien wasn’t an option, Lucien didn’t talk. He did his job and that was that, and the jobs her father assigned to Lucien weren’t negotiations. Lucien kidnapped, broke legs and killed, that was it. Nausea roiled in Lily’s gut at the thought and any chance of putting together a coherent plan fled. At this point, she thought, her best option was just to run though where and how far she had no idea. There was no way of knowing exactly how many men Lucien had brought with him, she’d seen three but there could be dozens more depending on how angry Emmett was and Lily guessed that her father had to be very angry. He didn’t use Lucien unless he had to, and, as if to emphasize the point, all of Lucien’s minions looked like they might actually wrestle with the World Wrestling Federation. “Awesome.” She’d never seen these goons so before, though, so they to be German; tall, blonde, pale-skinned and built like fireplugs they looked the model of Nazi thugs. “Bet they have blue eyes too,” she muttered, “but please God never let me get close enough to find out!” Leaning forward again, hands on the cold tile floor, Lily chanced another peek around the corner. Relief made her limbs shake when she saw that they were still clustered on the deck talking. Lucien as pale as his minions but standing a full head shorter than any of them and with neatly coiffed brown hair instead of blonde. Lily shuddered, “Ugh, he’s creepy.” Classically handsome, Lily had always found Lucien to be smarmy, oily, fully aware of his power and too highly convinced of his charm. “Well, thank god it looks like that hasn’t changed,” she muttered dryly as she watched him throw a hand up, and point it down the street, towards the corner. One of the thugs, a brunette like Lucien, whose broad build towered over his boss’s and who appeared to think that tattoos were acceptable replacements for clothing, nodded and trotted off in the specified direction. Lily’s eyebrows rose in question. If Lucien was directing his men to the corners of the street maybe he wasn’t sure she was home. They hadn’t seen her and with her car in the garage, all he could do was post lookouts and loiter around waiting for her to show up. “Well that’s a win for garages with no windows!” she whispered to the hallway and watching as another of the thugs, this time one of the blondes, moved off in the opposite direction from his buddy, towards the other end of her street. Lucien was covering all of his bases. “Of course, that’s what I’d do too I suppose but one more gone means one less here and that’s good for me.” And I’m talking to myself, lovely. But her nerves felt torn, jagged and talking out loud made her feel less vulnerable and afraid.  She watched a moment more as Lucien continued to speak intently to his remaining man. He had a plan, and Lily knew her time had run out. Turning, ideas finally forming in her head, she scurried back, still on hands and knees, to her bedroom. As plans went it wasn’t a very good one and Bryan certainly wouldn’t approve but it was all she had at the moment. Moving as fast as she could, like a crab scuttling for the safety of the water, Lily raced to gain the cover of the far corner of her room. She grabbed at the receiver, and tucked herself back into the tiny space, her belly raw with urgency. “Bryan, I have a plan,” she hissed, keeping her voice low. As predicted Bryan was not pleased. “No, no, no and again no,” he said, his voice rife with frustration,  “You stay put, you hear me? We’re almost there. Just stay down and out of sight…” “I can’t Bryan. I can’t JUST stay here. He sent Lucien, you know what that means. He’s not fucking around. You were right, ok, you were right and I’m sorry, but I have to get outta here.” Outside heavy boots could be heard stomping past her window, a shadow darkened the light and the glass rattled as someone tried to open it. Lily pushed herself deeper into the corner, holding her breath, her heart pounding fast and hard enough for her to hear it in her ears. The glass rattled again with more force this time and Lily squeezed her eyes shut tight biting down on her lower lip so hard she tasted blood. But the window held, the lock staying fast and the shadow vanished. Lily let the air out of her lungs in a whoosh. “There’s only two of them here at the house right now,” she told Bryan not bothering to elaborate further, she had no time and now, faintly she could hear someone rattling at the outer door, the one that led into the shared foyer of the house. “They’re trying to get in. I am gonna make a run for the forest. I’ll hide there and wait for your guy or gal or whatever…” The outside door gave way and thudded against the inside wall of the foyer. There was a pause, and a moment later a voice sounded, loud, outside in the garden again. Lucien. Calling for his backup. Footsteps pounded on the cement walkway and someone shouted again, in fast, unintelligible German. Lily spoke some German but not enough to understand what was being said, not when it was muffled and heard through a wall. “Time’s up,” she said, whispering into the phone, “I gotta go.” “God dammit…,” Bryan started to say but Lily hung up, cutting him off. She crawled over to the window so that she was directly under it and, taking a risk, popped her head up under the curtains, to get a quick scan of the back garden. It was empty and she could only guess that Lucien and his remaining thug were now at the inner door of the house, the one that led directly into her flat. Sweet mother of God, she prayed, please let me have locked it. Please, please, please. She heard the voices of Lucien and his remaining goon in the foyer, arguing from the sounds of it but in German so she had no idea what they were saying. Clearly, they were convinced they were alone in the three apartment flat because they made no effort to keep their voices down.  Her inner door, made of thick glass and hardwood, rattled, just as her window had, and Lily winced slightly expecting to hear the sound of glass shattering. But the glass and the door held. The feeling of desperate urgency in her gut grew and keeping her eyes locked on her right, in the direction of her flat entry, Lily reached up and with shaking hands unlatched her window, pushing it open wide, careful that it didn’t bang against the outer wallTaking one more second to listen, making sure the two men were still occupied with her locked front door, Lily stood and risked a full look out of the window. Empty walkway greeted her and without further thought she scrambled and crawled out the window, her tennis shoes landing softly and silently in the snow beneath it. Once through the window, she ran, springing away from the house, and sprinting through the snow and tarp-covered space of her landlord’s garden. Her only thought at this point to reach the protection of the forest. The garden fence made of wood and barbed wire, a wire that sent cruel-looking barbs of metal up towards the sky, lay between her and her goal but Lily wouldn’t let herself consider it, she didn’t let herself stop. She raced towards it with no hesitation, grabbed the top of a post and pushed at it with all of her might, gaining height and using one foot on a taut strip of wire to aid her. The wire sagged but held and she let her momentum and the post push her up and forward. At the top, one of the spikes caught the material of her jeans in one knee and she almost tumbled back into the garden, on the wrong side of the fence. Panic gripped at her and she brought her other hand down on the top wire of the fence to push at it, to get her body over the top, to help her to the other side. It worked but her hand caught a barb, the same hand already injured by hot water. It came down hard on a spike, penetrating deep into her skin. The sudden pain produced an explosion of color that danced around her head, momentarily blinding her. She bit down hard on her lip hard to keep from crying out as she tumbled off the fence onto the meadow side blood flowing freely into the snow. Tears of pain welled and threatened to spill as she rolled to her feet clutching her wounded hand to her chest. The pain tore through her fear and she allowed herself one glance at the puncture to reassure herself that the barb from the fence wasn’t still lodged in her hand. It wasn’t and relief so strong it made her dizzy flooded through her. She pressed her hand against the soft material of her sweatshirt, to slow the flow of blood, and then turned to move as fast as she could towards the forest. A straight-out sprint was out of the question, her feet sank ankle-deep in the undisturbed snow hindering her progress pulling her back even as she tried to move forward and panic rose again making her heart thunder so hard she could barely breathe. She cursed the snow and her slow pace as she fumbled and stumbled across the field praying there were no deep ruts or holes hidden in her path. The last thing she needed right now was a twisted or broken ankle. Blood trickled down her palm, tickling her wrist and staining her shirt and she tried not to think about the lost blood or the fact that the wound needed to be bound. Passing out would be much worse than a broken ankle. A broken ankle she might be able to work with but if she passed out she was lost… she shuddered at the thought and pushed it away.   “Come on Lily come on,” she gritted her teeth together and plowed on, tamping down the urge to look back over her shoulder, to check and see what exactly what was happening back at her flat. Shouts and curses rose on the air letting her know they’d discovered her escape, maybe even spotted her and she risked a glance over her shoulder. Two men struggled together at her open window, each one pointing at her, shouting and trying to climb through the window at the same time. Behind them, Lucien’s head popped into view every few seconds as if he had to jump up and down to see past his two companions. Lily choked on fear and something that might have been laughter. If the situation weren’t so scary it would be funny. She didn’t wait to see what happened next, didn’t wait to see if the men or Lucien would make it through her window. She knew they would it was only a matter of time. Frantic now with fear, Lily turned back towards the trees, working hard to move faster through the snow, legs burning with the effort. The raised shouts and yells of Lucien’s thugs reaching her across the meadow. She gained the trees and did not stop, plunging in amongst the birch and pine, not slowing but running blindly dodging and weaving through the trunks. She had to put as much distance between herself and Lucien as she could, it would not take long for Lucien and his minions to get out her window and follow her, to find her tracks, and the blood in the snow. The only thing she could hope to do was run until she lost them in the trees or until she found a good place to hide and wait them out, wait for help. She hoped Bryan was right and his people were on their way.  Lucien, she knew, would never give up hunting her, he would never stop looking for her, returning to her father without the ordered prize in tow was tantamount to a death sentence. “Ok so I’m just gonna hide, I can do this, I can do this,” she told giving herself a little pep talk and bounding up a rise in the forest floor, still holding her injured hand up to her chest. She paused briefly at the top to get her bearings, panting hard, her breath coming in great puffs of white in the cold air. Though her body barely registered the frigid temperature, the injury in her hand was a different story and as she plunged down the other side of the rise, another wave of dizziness assailed her. The forest spun around her in a blur nearly bringing her to her knees, and she bit back nausea. She had to bind her hand now rather than later if she didn’t slow the bleeding she might as well just hand herself over to Lucien without a fight. Ducking behind the trunk of a large ash tree and ignoring the throbbing pain in her hand, Lily stripped her sweatshirt off over her head. Then tucking it between her knees, her teeth chattering loudly as the cold air bathed her suddenly bare skin, she pulled her arms through the sleeves of her red tee, her core warming her chilled arms enough so that they could slip off the black tank she wore underneath the t-shirt. The blood from her wrist trickled in a steady flow down her belly and she had to push back panic. She’d never been injured like this before, not when alone anyway – alone with no help. – and she had to work hard to push away An image of her unconscious body bleeding out in the snow rose unbidden and unwelcome – That helps nothing, Lily she told herself and shoved the image away focusing instead on quickly wrapping the thin material of her tank around her bloody hand and wrist, wincing at the sight of the jagged wound. It definitely looked like it was going to need stitches and possibly a tetanus booster. “If I get out of this alive and free,”  She said to herself, the pressure of the makeshift bandage easing some of the pain and she drew in a deep breath, the oxygen clearing her head. Tucking the end of the wrap in on itself so it would not slip off her hand Lily clumsily pulled her sweatshirt out from between her knees and dragged the garment back over her head, not caring that it was now inside out, with the logo facing her chest. Leaning back against the rough bark of the tree Lily rested for a brief moment, she didn’t have much time she knew but the muscles in her legs appreciated the break. Suddenly the sound of a shout way too close to her for comfort brought her springing off her tree, head weaving back and forth as her eyes scanned the forest ahead of her, seeking a new path, another avenue of escape. Another shout sounded this time accompanied by the rush of running feet and Lily pushed away at the despair that threatened to overwhelm her, forcing herself to spend an extra moment or two focusing on finding a way of escape instead of just rushing blindly through the forest again. After a few seconds of searching a path, slowly revealed itself as she studied her surroundings. Her eyes widening not only at its existence but at the sight of the footprints on it, the footprints and the packed snow. Snow that up to this point had been undisturbed and deep enough to make the going tough and exhausting. The path and the footprints disappeared deeper into the forest. At first, as she studied them Lily briefly thought that the footprints were her own, but then she realized that of course, those weren’t hers. They moved on away from her and she was still here at her tree. Quickly her fear scattered as her mind calculated the meaning of those footprints. Did this mean that others used this track? Or had Lucien’s people managed to slip around her unnoticed in the hopes that they might be able to cut off her escape? If those tracks did belong to people other than herself and Lucien and his thugs then these others might still be here in the forest. And those tracks looked relatively fresh and recent to Lily. Fresh at least since the last fall of snow. Other people meant help, she thought still staring at them, people that could help her, hide her. If she could find them. They couldn’t pose her more danger than what was closing in on her from behind. She pushed away from her tree and ran again, new hope giving her strength. But she’d waited too long, stayed still too long. Lucien and his men caught sight of her again and someone shouted, “There she is!” The crashing and pounding of solid footsteps increased behind her. With her hand now bound and the blood prevented from flowing freely, Lily was able to move faster and she stuck to the path, the compacted snow on the path assisting her speed. The late afternoon still held some lingering light and the heavy clouds overhead had not yet released their burden of new snow, a fact for which Lily felt extreme gratitude. The light illuminated the path enough so that she could see to leap over fallen tree trunks or dodge around exposed roots and low brush. She wouldn’t be able to keep this pace for long she admitted to herself as she stumbled up yet another rise, this one the steepest she’d climbed yet, her lungs screaming in pain, her legs burning, the injury in her palm throbbing. But she had few more good sprints in her, hopefully enough for her to find help. At the crest of the rise, she paused to check for the footprints and saw that they continued down the hill and around a bend in the path to the right. Where it went after that Lily could not tell, the trees ahead were too thick. Then just to her right, something whistled past her to slam into the trunk of a tree, bark exploding all around her and Lily screamed, high, shrill, and sustained the sound echoing through the forest. Bloody Hell! They’d shot at her! Looking over her shoulder she saw Lucien charge into view, not looking at her but shouting angrily at one of his companions, as he reached out to try to grab at the man’s weapon.

Private Tutor. Chapter Three: It Seemed Like A Nice Neighbourhood To Have Bad Habits In.

Chapter One. Chapter Two.

I went a little over my initial word count limit on this one, but I couldn’t stop writing...so here goes nothing <3 

Here’s to you @gotham-ruaidh - you’re my shining fic light, I can always rely on you to give me wonderful advice when I need it most in fandom things, writing things and life things. You’re a gem. 

Sipping on her coffee, Claire smiled as she thought about her plans for the day. Frank was meandering around the kitchen, packing his lunch for the day and pouring his own morning beverage into his personalised travel mug. Stroking her back reverently he kissed her cheek before picking up his briefcase.

“Any nice plans for the day, darling?” He asked as he slipped his jacket over his arm and reached for his car keys – ready to go for the day.

“Yes, actually,” Claire answered, looking across at him kindly, “I’m just popping into town to run a couple of errands – and then I’m going to go and investigate the library.”

“Ah, very good.” Frank said, waving his free hand across at her before opening the back door which led out of the kitchen and into the attached garage. “Let me know if you’re passing the university, it would be nice to meet for a drink. I’m sure I can make the time for you. If not, though, see you this evening, Claire.”

“I’ll try, love you,” she said, her cheeks pinking as he winked at her and closed the door softly.

--

Closing her eyes, Claire let the fine autumn rain sprinkle across her face as she stood outside The Mitchell. In another life that would have been her morning routine. Relaxed and honest. But as it stood, Frank hadn’t spoken lovingly to her before he’d left for work. In fact, he’d barely acknowledged her as he’d woken, gotten up and dressed for the day. He hadn’t asked what she might be up to. He had kissed her on the forehead as he’d skirted around her in the kitchen, but it felt more like a gesture of ownership than of love.

The journey from the house into Glasgow had been uneventful. Claire had successfully managed to navigate the bus system and, with the help of google maps on her phone, had easily reached her intended destination.

With a fresh cup of tea in her hands, she brushed the damp hair from her forehead as she walked along the slick pavement and up the small steps towards the entrance.

It was incredibly quiet when she walked inside, the distant hum of the outdated air-conditioning vents echoing through the vast interior, wafting the scent of fresh books around her and Claire felt instantly at home. She found the information desk easily and the middle-aged woman behind the desk smiled widely as she took Claire’s ID and created her an account.

“Is there a particular section that you’re interested in, Mrs Randall?” She asked, rolling her r’s as she spoke. “I can point ye in the right direction if so, and ye canna use the computers yet – aye? We’re having some work done this week and they’re are out of action. Unless ye have a laptop, the WiFi is alright, though I canna help ye too much wi’ it, I’m no’ too clued up on these things.” She said with a laugh as she passed Claire her brand-new library card.

“I’m alright for the internet, thank you,” Claire replied, peeling her moist coat from her shoulders and placing it delicately over her arm, “I’d just like to know where the medical section is, if you wouldn’t mind?”

“Ach! No, lass. I dinna mind a bit. Usually, though, those studying medicine get their books up at the university, we dinna get many down this way. Are ye a doctor?”

Claire blushed as she fiddled with the zip on her jumper. “Oh, no, I’m not…anything, really.” She said, embarrassment colouring her tone. “I’m just interested, and I needed to get out of the house.”

“Say no more, Mrs Randall.”

“Claire,” Claire replied softly as she let an easy smile flourish across her face, “please, it’s just Claire.”

“Nice to meet ye, Claire,” the librarian said stretching out her hand and taking one of Claire’s between two of her own, “I’m Ellen, the main librarian here at The Mitchell, though ye might meet Mary from time to time. Then there’s Gillian who’s here at the weekends and Rupert and Angus – but ye dinna need to take them pair seriously, aye? They’re the jokers around here.”

Ellen continued to talk to Claire about her colleagues as she guided her, by the hand, through the stacks towards the section which held the non-fiction science and medical texts. The building was wonderfully calm and quiet, and Claire had been glad, almost immediately, that she had made the decision to come.

“The heart of the library, though,” Ellen said, coming to a stop in front of an arc of books, “is our local archives. Ye could lose yerself for hours in there looking up yer relatives. That’s how I compiled our family tree, ye ken?”

“Oh, that’s really good. You’ve got to have some work perks, eh!” Claire replied, her fingers itching to thumb through the books sitting -unopened- right in front of her eyes.

This certainly seemed like a good neighbourhood to have bad habits in, she thought, her ignorant husband springing to mind as she quickly eradicated the image of him and his disdain for her furthering her education from her thoughts. There would be time to worry about that later.

“Anyway, ye dinna want to hear about that yet. I’ll leave ye be, aye. If there is anything else I can help ye with - please let me know. It was lovely to meet ye, Claire.” Ellen whispered, patting her hand before letting it go.

Claire had barely blinked and Ellen had disappeared, back to the front desk no doubt to continue her duties. For a moment, Claire basked in the silence, the still air falling around her as the steady ticking of the clock suddenly became noticeable in the background.

So taken was she with the books now at her disposal, Claire didn’t notice the figure that appeared around the stack. Looking in her general direction, the shadow smiled and pulled himself out into plain sight before speaking lowly but clearly.

“If ye chose one,” he said gleefully, “then it’s more fun that looking at their spines, aye?”

Claire jumped, her heart racing as she refocused, turning her head to look at the new stranger. “What if I’m just here for the aesthetics?” She quipped. “Maybe I’m an architect hunter just on the lookout for some fascinating internal structures. Or even an artist who needs some inspiration for her latest…masterpiece.” Finally silencing herself, Claire cocked her head to the left as if challenging him to dismiss her claims.

“Weel,” he replied after a moment, scratching the back of his head, his fingers tangling in his longish red hair, “then accept my apologies. I didna mean to assume.” He trained his eyes on her, his face seeming quite familiar for just a moment until she shrugged it off, unable to place him with anyone else she knew.

“Apology accepted.” Claire said, nodding and smiling as she held her hand out to introduce herself. “Claire.” She said monosyllabically, not adding anything else to her name.

“Claire.” He reiterated, taking hold of her hand and hesitating for a moment. Claire saw the indecision in his eyes. It looked as if he wanted to do something else – and not just shake her hand – but, in the end, formality won out over prehistoric gentlemanly greetings. He wanted to kiss the back of her hand, she could tell. “Are ye a doctor, Claire?” He asked, mirroring Ellen’s earlier question. She chuckled to herself, the irony all too clear in their assessment of her career. Clearly, she thought, she should have studied medicine since everyone seemed to assume she already had.

“Me?” She replied rather self-consciously. “No. I’m just me, just Claire. Not a doctor. Not anything…truly.” She reiterated, her heart dropping at the sum of her life so far.

���Now that I dinna believe for a moment, lass.” He counteracted.

“Oh, you don’t. And why would that be, Mr…?” She murmured softly, leaving her sentence hanging in the air as she waited for him to return the favour and tell her his name.

“Because, ye’ve a look about ye that says yer more than nothing, aye? Take it from someone who kens these things. Hello, though, just Claire – but no’ just Claire – it’s verra nice to meet you. I’m Dr Fraser. But ye can call me Jamie.” He finished finally, bending his head in a small bow as he let go of her hand.

“You’re a doctor?” She asked, astonished that he was here - so far away from the university which surely housed a more suitable supply of medical literature.

Jamie nodded in return.

“Can I ask a favour of you, Dr Fraser?” Claire enquired with only single breath between her first question.

“Aye, ask away, Claire.” Jamie countered an unmistakable glint of joy in his voice as he spoke. “I’ll try and help ye anyway I possibly can.”

“Would you be able to spare an hour or so to help me with some research? Please?”

How Often Should Your Garage Door Be Serviced?

Annual upkeep can help your overhead door last longer. Even if there are no visible problems, you should schedule a periodic Garage Repair Lexington Ky once a year to ensure that your Garage Door Lexington Ky is still in good working order. This will help you avoid mishaps, break-ins, and even damage of property.

Garage doors must be maintained on a regular basis. Lubrication and spring tension modification, like every door, are necessary routine tasks. It's best to act immediately rather than wait until your garage door develops symptoms that necessitate significant garage door service repairs. If you have sufficient garage maintenance knowledge, you may do a monthly checkup to ensure that your above door does not malfunction. Here are five things to keep in mind while inspecting your garage door on a monthly basis.

1. Be On The Lookout For Unusual Noises

Among the first measures, you should do, as part of your garage door maintenance routine is to learn how your Garage Door Lexington Ky sounds. A good garage door sounds very different from one that has issues. One of the first symptoms that your garage door needs to be serviced is unusual noises. It might be time to seek expert help.

Overhead doors will generate bothersome noises over time, and it's critical that you recognize new ones that could indicate a problem. Also, be aware of the tiniest cracks and screeches, because those can indicate a loose opening chain. Unusual noises from your garage door could indicate a variety of problems, so contact a professional as soon as possible. If you discover the source of the noise sooner rather than later, you may be able to save money on repairs.

2. Make Sure There Are No Gaps

A correctly sealed Garage Door Lexington Ky is critical for both the security of your garage goods and the internal security of your property. Gaps beneath your garage door as well as between boards allow outside weather to enter, putting your belongings at risk. It may also let your home's climate-controlled air to escape, increasing your energy consumption. When the temperature becomes colder, it's extremely crucial for garage doors to maintain seal.

Check to see if your door closes completely, with no holes in the door or between the door and the floor. If not, adjust the auto opening until the door hits the weather stripping or eliminate any obstructions to the sensors. If you are unable to resolve the problem, have a specialist in Garage Repair Lexington Ky evaluate your garage door to determine the source of the problem. Changing the way the garage door shuts might be difficult, but a professional garage door expert can help you avoid the hassle.

3. Check For Problems With The Remote Control

Numerous garage door faults are caused by remote control failures. Because you use your remote control on a daily basis, it gets a lot of use. Garage door buttons are prone to wear and tear, rendering them useless. It may be time for a new button — or a whole garage door remote overhaul.

Before you go out and buy a new remote, consider replacing the battery. If this resolves the problem, you will have saved some money and should be able to resume regular garage door activities. If you're still having problems with your garage door remote after these repairs, it's time to replace it.

Next, concrete block extends from the floor level all the way to the third floor.  There are metal studs of 3-5/8” throughout the wall exteriors as well as the bathroom. This providing for a sound barrier. The exterior walls of this luxury Bonita Springs home consist of 3-5/8” insulation.  5/8” sheetrock covers the walls.  Such detail was taken during building to include rounded corners in doorways and wall endings.  Twelve inches from exterior to interior provides the ultimate insulation and sound barrier.

Indeed the only wood this luxury home consists of is the roof’s joists and sheathing.  Completing the roof is a rubberized underlay and flat clay tile.

Bitch of the Trees

Word Count-3,293(It might have gotten away from me just a little)

Characters-Sam, Dean, Elaina(OC), Crowley

Warnings-implied smut, runaway Moose, drinking, Crowley being Crowley.

Prompt-Dryads

A/N-This one is for @sisterhoodofsam Rejects of Supernatural challenge.  There was a surprising lack of lore to be found on the subject of dryads, so I took what I found, made some up and borrowed a couple of things from David Eddings.  Hey, you do what you have too.  Title is taken from a bit I did find online that dryads were know as the “ladies of the trees.”

Tags under the cut, as always if you want on or off drop me a message or an ask.

-JediCat

       Sam cleared his throat to get my attention. “I think I found us a case, Laine”

        “Really,” I asked. “Or is it a thin lead that will get us away from gimpy?”

        Sam rubbed the back of his neck and gave a lopsided smile. “A little of both.”

        “I heard that, bitch,” Dean called from his bedroom.  He’d dislocated his knee about a week before while he’d been chasing a werewolf and stepped in a hole.  He could walk again but wasn’t up to a hunt quite yet and he was getting restless.  At this point Sam and I just need to get away from him.

        “Jerk,” Sam called back to him by reflex.

        I leaned over his shoulder and looked at the screen. “So what have you got?”

        It seemed like a whole lot of nothing at first, until I noticed the pattern.  A man would disappear without a trace in the woods near a little town named Fredrick. His body would turn up a few weeks later with no trace of foul play just after another disappearance.  For close to four years it had been going on through the spring, summer and early fall only to stop in the winter.  Definitely our kind of thing but it was like nothing either of us had ever heard of.  Sam’s eyes met mine and I nodded.

        “Let’s go pack,” he said as I was already heading for our room.

        As we were putting clothes in our duffel bags I could hear Dean’s limping steps coming down the hall from his room.  I braced myself, knowing what was coming next.  And I was right.

        “I’m coming with you.” Dean said.  It was probably meant to sound firm, but given that he was white with pain and leaning against the doorframe, it just sounded like a little boy demanding to not be left behind.

        Without turning from packing Fed suits I replied, “Sure.  If you can walk to your room and back here without the knee brace and still stand up.”

        I heard Sam snicker under Dean’s groan, “Oh, come on-”

        “You aren’t at 100%,” I scolded him, turning around.  “What if something goes wrong and someone gets hurt because you couldn’t move fast enough?’

        Dean’s face fell. “But I can stay…”

        I shook my head. “Don’t say you’ll stay in the room.  I’d believe Crowley before I’d believe that.”

        I walked over and put my hand on his forearm.  “Dean, you’re white and sweating so don’t even try to tell me that you aren’t hurting.  Sam and I can take care of ourselves, just this once.”

        I watched the emotions play across Dean’s face, until he finally came to the conclusion he wasn’t going to be able to talk his way onto this trip.  He turned away and headed for his room growling, “Fine, but you guys had better check in every night.”

        “Yes, mother,” Sam laughed as I turned back packing.  We finished up quickly and headed for the garage before Dean could come up with any more arguments as to why he should come with us.

        We were in the process of loading up my jeep when we heard Dean come into the garage.  Sam turned around and drew in a sharp breath that made me turn to see what was going on.  Dean was standing there with a determined look on his face, holding out the keys to Baby.  

        “Take her.” was all he said.

        Sam started to protest, “Dean,-

        “Don’t argue with me,” Dean snapped.  “The only way you’ll get me to stay here is if you take Baby.”

        It took me a second to understand but when I did I got choked up.  This was his way of protecting us if he couldn’t be there.  I touched Sam’s arm with one hand as I held out the other for the keys.  Dean dropped them in my hand and limped away without a backwards glance.  Sam gave me a puzzled look, but loaded the bags into Baby’s trunk while I climbed into the car.  Sam slid into the driver's seat, started the engine and the two of us were off.

        Sam stared at his computer screen; we’d been at this a week and we were no closer to finding an answer than we’d been when we’d left the bunker.  The local sheriff had been more than happy to turn the case over to us and the county coroner had given us the reports on the three victims from this year, all of whom had died of heart failure and malnutrition.  There was nothing else wrong with them; no signs of demons, sirens, poltergeists, ghosts or any of the hundreds of things that go bump in the night that we were familiar with.  I sighed as I put my laptop to sleep, attracting his attention.

        “What’s up, baby,” he asked.

        I ran my hand through my hair, “I’ve got eye strain, I’m tired of looking at that damn screen and I’m hungry. Let’s take an hour and grab some food.  That bar is supposed to have good food and if Dean asks we can say we were talking to the locals.”

        His face clouded a little and for a moment I thought he was going to squash the idea, but it seemed like he had enough research tonight too. “I think we can even spare two hours and have a drink.”

        I was out of my chair and had my jacket in my hand before he finished his sentence.  I could hear him laughing at me as I ran for the car.

        It was a typical small town dive bar, decorated in neon with a jukebox that had a playlist from the last century.  There was a small dance floor over in the corner with one side raised to form a small stage for a live band or DJ booth.  In our flannels, jeans and leather jackets we fit right in and it didn’t take the locals long to forget we were supposed to be Feds.  One guy even got up the nerve to approach me while Sam was up at the bar getting us some refills.  He was nice enough and I got a little information out of him about the latest disappearance before Sam came back and chased him away with a scowl.  I hid my smile behind my drink, watching the man scurry away.

        “You didn’t have to scare the poor guy to death,” I said giving Sam a smile.

        He mock growled at me, “He was making a move on my partner.”

        I leaned over and kissed his cheek, running my hand up his thigh under the table. “You know you’ve got nothing to worry about, love.”  

        His arm snaked around my waist as I cuddled a little closer to him and he kissed my temple.  We sat like that, people watching and drinking our beer for about half an hour, and that’s when she came in.  I noticed her as soon as she came through the door because she was dressed way too high end for this bar and that set off my warning bells.  She was wearing a brown dress that looked like it was silk with matching heels.  Her blonde hair was piled on top of her head and seemed to have a slight green tint to it; leaf green eyes were highlighted by Egyptian style make-up.  The way she moved towards the bar could only be described as slinking. She placed her drink order with the bartender, who made a face as I nudged Sam and pointed with my chin.  

He eyed her and I saw the same suspicion form in his eyes that I had.  I reached for the empty glasses.  “My round.”

His nod had a double meaning and I headed to the bar finding an empty space next to the woman.  The bartender set her drink in front of her and at the slight shake of my head turned to take an order from another customer.  I gave an exaggerated sigh that caused her to look at me with no little curiosity.  

“Perils of being an outsider,” I said with a half-smile.  She returned the smile sympathetically.

“I know how you feel,” she replied.  “I’ve lived here forever and still feel like an outsider.”

Her voice had a slight accent that I couldn’t quite place so I turned on my phone's voice recorder under the guise of checking my messages.  “They always serve the locals first and then the outsiders.”

She nodded and took a sip of her drink. “So are you here on vacation?”

“Mixed with a little business,” I not quite lied. “We own a curio shop so we’re always on the lookout for things we can make a profit on.”

She nodded politely and put out her hand, “I’m Xelina.”

“Elaina Simmons,” I replied shaking her hand firmly.

The bartender returned and took the beer glasses to be refilled, quickly placing them in front of me.  I nodded to Xelina and returned to Sam.  Under the guise of kissing his cheek, I whispered what little I’d learned into his ear.  Instead of replying he kissed my jaw, nipping just enough to leave a pleasant sting behind.  It didn’t take us long to finish off our beer and leave the bar; Sam’s arm around my shoulders, mine around his waist heading for the car.  Before he went around to the driver’s side he pushed me against the car, took my face in his hands and kissed me.

I leaned into it, getting my hands up into his soft hair and pulling myself up closer to him, brushing my tongue against his lips.  Sam’s mouth opened with a soft moan as he let me in for just a minute before pulling back.  “Let’s take this back to the room.”

I nodded, too breathless to speak, and got into the car.  When he got in I slid across the seat so I could be as close to him as possible while he was driving. He looped his arm around me, untucking my shirt and sliding his hand under the fabric.  His fingers absently made lazy circles on my skin leaving goosebumps and sending heat straight to my core.  I began running my hand up his thigh reveling in the feel of his muscles under his jeans, not stopping until my hand rested on the bulge of his cock.  Softly I moved my hand along the bulge putting just enough pressure on it to tease him.

Sam growled low in his chest and his fingers changed their pattern from circles to sliding across my stomach underneath the waistband of my jeans.  With each pass his hand went a little lower until he could unfasten the button with his thumb.  I moaned softly his fingers slid under the elastic of my panties and began to tease my lower lips.  He echoed my moan as he felt how wet I was already.

Thankfully it was a short trip back to the motel because we’d have had to pull over.  As it was Sam barely let me get the door closed before he was pressed up against my back.  “You are so going to pay for teasing me on the way here.”

Morning sun through the window blinds woke me to a body that ached in the best way possible. Sam was curled against my back snoring softly one arm around my waist.  After a few minutes of gentle wiggling I managed to get out of his grasp without waking him up.  I stopped for a minute to stare at Sam.  Asleep and relaxed he looked ten years younger, though the scars on him told a different story.  Part of me wanted to crawl back into bed with him, but there was work to do.  I started the coffee pot and headed for the shower to get cleaned up and do some thinking.  As much as I’d enjoyed last night something felt off and I wouldn’t relax until I found some answers.

I let the hot water run over me as I let my mind drift where it would.  I went through every memory of the night before with an eye to the details until it hit me.  The only thing that had been different last night had been Xelina and some things about her tickled some very old memories of Grandma and her stories of the creatures that shared the world with us.  I dried off and grabbed a cup of coffee on my way to my laptop, if I was right we might need to call in some reinforcements.  Sam wasn’t in bed when I came out of the bathroom, I assumed that he was out for his morning run and went to work.  The first thing I did was send off emails to family and friends still involved with the more gentle side of the supernatural world, then I buried myself in the internet.  

A dozen emails, three phone calls and a pot of coffee later, I had my answers.  We were dealing with a dryad and one that was relativity young.  Judging from the size of the trees in the area she could be upwards of a hundred years old, but look no older than twenty-five or thirty. I also learned that by killing her conquests she was breaking an ancient pact with the white witches.  I looked around only to realize that Sam still wasn’t back and a glance at the clock on my computer made my heart freeze.  Two hours had passed; even Sam couldn’t run that long which could only mean that he had been called to her.  I couldn’t call Dean; even if he could get here in time I’d just put him in danger and Cas still didn’t have his full mojo back so I didn’t know if she could affect him or not.  That left me with one choice; it wasn’t one I was very happy with, but I was going to need help and Crowley was the only one who could get here fast enough.  

He answered his phone on the third ring, “What can I do for you, Lark?”

“I need your help,” I managed to get out. “I’m calling in that favor you owe me.”

“Now why would you want to do that, darling,” he said from behind me.

Quickly I outlined my theories. “You’re my only option at this point.  You owe me for helping with the rogue angel that came after you last year. You wouldn’t want word to get out that you had to call a human, and a hunter at that, in for help would you?”

Crowley rolled his eyes, then narrowed them. “And what would Moose and Squirrel say if they knew you helped me?”

I had known that this would be his hole card.  I gave him my best smirk. “What makes you think I didn’t tell them?”

Another eye roll as he sighed, “You tell that Moose everything don’t you?  I guess I’m in, but this clears my debt to you.”

“Until the next time you need a hunter for something, Gramps,” I said, knowing how much it would annoy him to be reminded that I was the only hunter he could completely trust.  

I gave him a quick rundown of my plan and he agreed that it might work, if Sam had his phone with him and it didn’t have a dead battery.  The luck goddess was with me because when I tracked his phone down it was working.  I quickly transferred the location to my mapping app, because it was deep in the woods.  After a quick stop at the gas station Crowley and I were off.

We followed signal from Sam’s phone deep into the woods surrounding the town.  It took nearly an hour to walk from the road to the coordinates from Sam’s phone.  If I hadn’t been so worried about him I might have enjoyed the hike, Crowley was clearly not happy with it though.   I could hear him behind me muttering about his suit and shoes, like he couldn’t fix them with a snap of his fingers.

The forest finally opened onto a glade surrounded by oak trees and what I saw there almost broke my heart.  Sam was leaning against one of the trees with Xelina in his lap and a goofy smile on his face.  As I watched she leaned over and kissed him that was the straw that snapped my temper.  I pulled my gun and fired a round into the tree behind them, well above their heads.  Two sets of eyes turned my way; Sam’s fogged with the spell she’d cast on him, Xelina’s full of malice. She got off of Sam and started towards me and I wasn’t waiting to see what she intended on doing.  I reached into my shoulder bag, pulled out the king size Hershey bar I’d bought and tossed it at her.  She caught it when it hit her square in the chest, her whole face lighting up when she saw what it was.  Greedily, she tore through the wrapper and took a bite of the chocolate, chewing it with a look of bliss on her face.  

I kept one eye on her and the other on Sam; I could gauge the effects of the chocolate on her system.  When he had some sense back in his eyes, I crept around Xelina and made my way to him praying that he was recovering quicker than it looked like.

I finally reached him and put my hand on his shoulder, whispering his name.  When he turned to me I could see he was still a little foggy but fighting it.  He reached for me and I grabbed his hand with a reassuring squeeze.

“Can you stand,” I asked in an urgent tone.

When he gave me a tentative nod, I draped his arm around my shoulder and helped him up.  Sam wobbled like a newborn baby moose and leaned most of his weight on me so I was basically carrying him.  We struggled along but hadn’t gotten more than a few yards when a wall of branches sprang up in front of us.

“Naughty, naughty, little girl,” Xelina giggled.  “Trying to steal my new toy.”

I shot her the dirtiest look I could muster up. “Sorry, he’s spoken for.  And I’d rather not have him broken like your other toys.”

She meandered over to us, not even able to walk a straight line at this point.  As Xelina’s control of herself slipped so did her hold over Sam who was carrying more of his own weight now.  He glanced down on me with questions in his eyes.

“Dryad,” I said softly, hoping she wouldn’t hear me. “Chocolate acts like booze on them.”

Xelina giggled, “Smart too, girly, you figured me out.”

“It’s not hard with my connections,” I smirked at her.  “You broke your people’s pact with the Mason Clan, Xelina.  I claim my rights as the injured party.”

I pushed Sam to the ground, probably the only time that it would ever be easy, and shouted, “Now, Crowley!”

Crowley appeared near the tree that Sam had been leaning against and snapped his fingers.  The tree exploded in a shower of splinters as Xelina vanished in a flash of flame and a puff of pollen that left Sam and I both coughing.

Crowley strolled over as we got our breath back. “Now that you have your Moose back, I trust this discharges my debt to you, Lark?”

I waved him off. “Yeah and we’re just fine, thanks for asking.”

With that he vanished leaving behind a slight smell of sulphur.

Mystery at McDuck Manor Ch 3

And we’re to our final chapter! Thanks for reading everyone!

Ch 3- Catching a Thief

Greetings, to my lovely audience. We have set up a stakeout after a long argument between Donald and Scrooge over involving the children in the plan. 

Given their tempers, I think it was best to sit and let the quarrel fizzle out on its own. I am not spending more on painkillers than I have to. 

The children have been given the tasks of handling the rope and keeping a lookout, but are under strict orders to not make physical contact with the thief. 

Another old painting is set out in the yard next to a large oak tree. Thanks to my superior trap-making knowledge and a little tip from the Junior Woodchuck guidebook, I have surrounded the painting with nets craftily designed to catch the perpetrator. 

Huey contributed to one, maybe two nets. I did most of the work. 

I use my binoculars to survey the empty road that leads up to the mansion. So far, nothing. The kids are perching on a low-hanging, sturdy branch, keeping a silent watch over the road. At Donald’s request, there are two air mattresses set below the branch in case any of them fall. 

Should Plan A fail, Donald and Scrooge are crouching in the bushes, ready to spring an ambush. A tad crude, but it gets the job done. 

And so we lie in wait. 

And wait. 

And wait. 

I sit on the roof of the manor with my binoculars, like a frightening stone gargoyle overlooking its great castle. A suitable location for this avian avenger, this masked mallard, this dashing daring-do drake....

I see activity from the tree, the kids flapping their arms as they holler about a mysterious figure approaching. Scrooge nods, raising a finger to his beak. The kids quiet instantly, careful not to rustle the leaves or branches. 

With my keen vision, I see a dark shadow following the path up to the manor. It stops every couple feet to adjust something in its grip. A weapon, perhaps? 

As they approach, I see the faint outline of a large trenchcoat. Strangely, the thief wears the trenchcoat so that their body is completely covered. Not even the head or feet protrude from the material. Despite that, they don’t trip or sway to one side. 

I climb down the roof and hide in the bushes with Scrooge and Donald. They’re tense, barely daring to breathe as the thief walks along the outside of the high, steel gates that surround the perimeter of the manor. 

However, they do not scale the gates with a rope or dig underneath like a canine. Instead, they put a hand out and feel the individual bars. The hand is covered by a black glove, the only part of the body that’s not shrouded by the coat. 

They stop at a bar three feet from the center of the gate, gently tugging it out of position and setting it down. Scrooge mutters to himself about reinforcing the gate later. 

Producing a rectangular package from the inside of the coat, they slip it through the bars and set it gently on the ground.

How considerate of them to put the bar back in place once they’re on our side of the grounds. They pick up the package and walk towards us. 

However, they don’t set off the traps. In fact, they take no interest in the bait whatsoever. 

Before I can give Donald and Scrooge the signal, they leap out of the bushes and attempt to hold the thief in place. Predictably, the thief struggles, dropping the package in the process as the fight continues. 

I snatch up the package to prevent damage to the evidence as they fight. Curious, I rip it open and reveal....

A painting. 

The stolen painting to be exact. 

I stand it up by the side of the manor so I can examine it thoroughly when I get some peace and quiet. Donald unleashes several angry quacks as he pummels the thief, but the coat’s material appears thick enough to absorb the blows. 

After a few minutes, Scrooge is kicked by a stray foot and skids a few feet away. Undeterred, he leaps back into the fray and tackles the thief. It was an impressive feat for an old-timer. The impact throws them directly on a net, which immediately snaps closed. 

The kids quickly climb down the tree, placing an air mattress under the net. The shock of being suddenly several feet in the air brings them out of the fight as the net stills. 

The thief remains silent, not having uttered a word the entire time. I shoot the rope with my gas gun to bring everyone down. 

Donald and Scrooge appear all right, standing up as soon as they’re free. The thief doesn’t move. 

“Now, we’ll see who the perpetrator who pilfered your painting really is,” I say, grabbing the collar of the trenchcoat and pulling down so it unravels around the thief’s head. 

A chorus of gasps ring out from the group. 

“And the thief is....” I turn triumphantly to the criminal in question, and I come to one extremely crucial realization. 

That I may have overlooked slightly. 

Emphasis on slightly. 

I have absolutely no idea who this female duck is. 

Scrooge and Donald gasp, their eyes wide. For a moment, they stand rigid as they take in the thief’s features. She resembles Donald, judging from the shape of her beak.  

So glad that I would never get that bamboozled at a female doppelganger. 

“DELLA!” They scream, wrapping her in a tight hug. Della laughs as she returns it. The kids look at them uncertainly. 

Dewey speaks up at last. “Mom? Is that really you?” 

Della beckons the boys over. “Course. Who else would I be? I really missed you boys. Get over here!”

The triplets squeeze into the family hug. Della ruffles their hair before glancing over at Webby, who stands a short distance away. Della moves closer to Donald to make room for her. 

Webby shifts and points at herself in confusion. The triplets shout at her to join in, and her beak splits into a wide smile as she eagerly jumps in as well. 

An unmistakable sniff comes from behind me. Lockpaddle blows his beak into a tissue. “I love these happy family reunions!” he wailed. He cries so much that the tissue is of little use, and makes a grab for my cape. 

Using my swift reflexes that I acquired after years of training in a temple of warrior monks, I evade him easily. “Hands off the cape,” I say. “I just ironed it.”

I turn to the large duckpile, which is packed tighter than a caravan of cavorting criminals. “Now that you’ve had your little reunion, I’d like an explanation for this crime you seem to have no qualms about committing.”

Donald growls. “Lay off! She just got back!” 

“I’m rather curious myself,” Scrooge says. “Why all this trouble with the painting, lassie?” 

Della shrugs. “Well, it took me about ten years to scavenge enough debris and rovers to build a rocket that would take me back to the earth from the moon after the Spear of Selene transported me there.”

I scoff. What a ludicrous statement. 

Scrooge glares at me. “Della has never been one to lie. Do you want the explanation or not?”

“I want one that makes sense,” I snap. 

Della smiles. “I guess it does sound kind of unbelievable. But at the same time, it would be boring to just walk up to the manor and tell everyone I was back. So I bought a trenchcoat and entered through a second story window. I was searching for Donald so I could scare him, but I guess I got a little too excited.”

Dewey cracks a grin. “And you surprised us when you tumbled down the stairs. You’re terrible at landing.” 

“You guys were champs at sliding down that banister,” Della says. 

Donald frowns. “I don’t want you kids to break something important. No more sliding down banisters!”

“Your Uncle Donald is just jealous. The one time he tried it as a kid, he wound up slamming headfirst into the front door,” Della says. 

Donald folds his arms. “Don’t give Louie any potential blackmail!”

Louie shrugs. That delinquent....

I clear my throat. “I take it these aviator goggles are yours?” I pull out the goggles, slightly cracked but still usable. “I discovered these next to the stairs.”

“My goggles!” Della exclaims. “I was wondering where I put these!” 

“Now, if you would kindly get to the part with the painting,” I say, tossing the goggles to her. 

Della nods. “Of course. So I dashed outside before the kids could reveal me and walked around the yard to the garage. Then I saw the painting with Uncle Scrooge, Uncle Donald, and me had a torn corner so I decided to present the fixed painting to them as a surprise.”

“Your surprise worked!” Webby exclaims. 

“By the way,” Della says, pulling away from Scrooge and Donald so she could stare them in the eye. “You two have been getting along, right?” 

Scrooge gulps. “Um, yes, we’ve been getting along very well! Haven’t we, Donald?”

Common Spring Pests to Watch Out For

You know the saying “April showers bring May Flowers?” Not only does the rain bring flowers and revitalize plants, but it also attracts a few pests that could do some serious damage to your home. In this week’s article, we’re going to break down the most common spring pests in Arizona and how to get rid of them.

Bees

These insects become a problem in the mid to late spring but continue throughout the summer. Bee attacks in Arizona have seemed to become more and more frequent in recent years.

These attacks are caused by the Africanized Honeybees here in Arizona that are known to be very territorial and aggressive, with little to no provocation.

It is important to know what to do, should you find yourself in the middle of a bee attack. Use caution and stay on the lookout in trees and bushes where a colony resides.

Preventive Pest Control bee extraction experts will assess the situation and advise you of the best plan of action.

Due to the extreme danger to our technician, and the fact the only way to determine if bees are Africanized would be to get attacked, we kill and remove the hive. We are cognizant of the enormous role bees play in our food source, but risking an attack and potential allergic reaction from our clients or co-workers is too large a risk to take.

Based on the location of the hive it may be recommended to remove the entire hive and post treat the area to remove pheromones that may attract stragglers back to the same location. Most importantly, DO NOT attempt to remove the hive yourself.

Ants

There are 40 known species of ants living in Arizona. These little pests are scavengers and can destroy a fun family picnic in no time at all! Native Fire Ants more specifically possess a powerful sting and should be avoided by people and pets.

Since their attraction to food is so strong, within a matter of minutes of spilling food or a drink on the floor, you could find yourself with a collection of ants that was not there just a few minutes prior.

While these tiny pests have food on their minds, they do have a painful little bite! Take precautions to keep food, drinks and other items such as a dog or cat food picked up and stored away, so ants will pass on your house.

If you are facing an ant problem, call Preventive for a comprehensive and proven method of killing ants and keeping them out of your home and yard.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches will avoid homes that have been treated for pests; but those that have not, are prime targets. Once they are inside, they will munch down on any and everything. German cockroaches produce a large number of eggs per ootheca (about 35 eggs) and they undergo the shortest time from hatching until sexual maturity, resulting in a rapid population growth. Our suggestion is to get your home treated, especially before monsoon season sets in.

At Preventive we have developed a multi-pronged approach dedicated to eliminating cockroach from your home. Our initial service includes vacuuming hot spots (under and behind refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher) to kill active roaches and remove oothecas (egg sacs) treating inside plumbing voids and under appliances with the latest products and techniques.

Soldier Termite with Workers

Termites

Termites are considered Arizona’s number one urban pest. As a homeowner, you may encounter termites. The saying “there are two types of homes in Arizona, those with termites and those that will get termites” is very accurate in our great state.

You might be asking yourself why should you worry about termites? The answer is pretty clear. In the city of Phoenix and surrounding area termites are prevalent. They are found in homes in all parts of the state. Each year termites cost the residents of Arizona millions of dollars. Our focus is on helping you save your home.

When your Preventive Pest termite technician completes your termite treatment, there will be virtually no signs of damage or disruption.

Spiders

Spiders will often be attracted to wherever many bugs live. Houses that have a lot of light may see an increase in spiders in their home and area. Some of these arachnids may cause major skin damage with a bite.

Arizona is home to a number of non-poisonous spiders; however, the Brown Recluse and Black Widow species are both dangerous. If you think you have been bitten by either of these spiders seek medical advice promptly. Always wear proper clothing and gloves when doing yard work, be very careful moving piles of debris and don’t grab where you can’t see.

Keep up on spider prevention here.

Scorpions

The Arizona Bark Scorpion is the most poisonous scorpion in North America, making the Bark Scorpion a serious safety concern for Arizona residents. We’ve heard of scorpions spotted in beds, drawers, under countertops, in toy bins, under cribs, on ceilings, and so many other places.

If you have ever been stung by a scorpion, you know the pain they can cause. In young children or elderly people, they can cause much more than pain, an agonizing scorpion sting can actually cause severe physical symptoms and in extreme cases, it can potentially even be fatal.

Our regularly scheduled services will eliminate the scorpion food source from around your home, the first step to controlling scorpions. Next, we place a 15’ granular barrier around the home, followed by power spraying of the foundation, fence line and fence columns. Lastly, glue boards will be placed at scorpion entry points at either side of the garage door. All included with our Premium Bi-Monthly service plan.

Take care of your scorpion problem by going here.

As a homeowner in Arizona, we know how much you value and take pride in your homes. There are a lot of things to consider and worry about as a homeowner. You remodel the home, decorate it, live in it and raise your family there. The last thing you want to worry about is pest control.

However, if you find the signs of mice or rats, or you see spiders, cockroaches, bed bugs or any other kind of Arizona pest, then you need to contact the exterminator nearby to get the job done fast and done right. Fortunately, for Arizona homeowners, this means Western Exterminator is there to help and they will find the pests, remove infestations, and help prevent returns.

Tips on How to Extend the Life of Your Garage Door

One of the most neglected apparatus around any home or garage doors. This is hard to understand because garage doors are such an important item around a home or business. Unfortunately, most people who have garages take the doors that secure them much for granted. Home and business owners tend to view their garage doors at items that will last forever without problems but that’s simply not the case. Garage doors have problems and a certain life span just like any other piece of equipment with moving parts. So garage doors need maintenance done on them to help extend their useful life.

What types of maintenance do garage doors need? Here are some things that you can do to help your garage door keep working well long into the future:

Get Routine Maintenance Done On It

The single best way to extend the life of your garage door is to get routine maintenance done it. This maintenance should be done by a qualified garage door professional. It’s also something that should be done on a yearly basis. Garage door professionals know exactly what to do to keep all of the working parts on your garage door in tip-top working condition. Routine garage door maintenance will also typically catch smaller problems before they become much bigger and more expensive repairs.

Keep the Door Clean

Here is a simple step that many people fail to do. Just keeping a garage door clean will help extend its useful life. It will keep dirt off the garage door and help prevent rust and other forms of corrosion that typically break down garage door parts over time. It will also help keep your garage doors looking good. Part of keeping any garage door clean includes keeping vegetation trimmed and kept far away from the garage door. Be careful when cleaning not to get any water in sensitive garage door electronic parts such as openers.

Replace the Opener

One of the most overworked parts on any garage door is its opening mechanism. Garage doors are heavy items that tend to be really hard on the openers that make them go up and down. That’s why these parts usually fail long before the garage door itself is ready to be replaced. So simply getting a new garage door opener when necessary will help extend the life of your garage door well into the future.

Have the Springs Adjusted Periodically

It was mentioned that garage doors are very heavy items that tend to overwork the equipment that raises and lowers them. This would be even worse if not for the spring tension that helps take some weight of garage doors as they open and close. Garage door springs are only effective though if they are adjusted with the proper amount of tension on them. Having a garage door tech come to your home or place of business to adjust your springs yearly will help keep the tension on them at a perfect level. This will make the working parts on your garage door work less hard and help extend your garage door’s lifespan.

Lubricate Where Necessary

Many moving parts on your garage door result with metal moving on metal. This is never a good thing because it causes friction that will wear the two parts that are touching down. Lubricating these areas will help prevent friction and the subsequent parts breakdowns that it causes. Areas that need to be lubricated on a garage door to help it stay working well are any tracks, rollers, gears, or chains that help your garage door open and close.

Check Safety Devices for Proper Operation

How does the proper operation of garage door safety devices help extend the life of your garage door? The answer here is very simple. If your garage door comes down on your car or another object because its safety sensors were not working it could potentially cause your entire garage door to need to be replaced. Safety sensors are also designed not to let your garage door slam shut or open hard when they are being retracted. Not to mention, that proper working garage door sensors keep you, your family, and your guests safe too.

Take Advantage of a Free Garage Door Safety Inspection

Many garage door services such as Quick Garage Door Pros out of Hollywood, Florida are happy to offer their customers free 25-point garage door safety inspections. It’s something that everyone who owns a home or business with a garage door should take advantage of.

When the garage door tech does this safety inspection, they will also be on the lookout for other potential problems with your garage door too.

Call a Garage Door Tech at the ‘FIRST’ Sign of Any Problems

One of the biggest reasons that people have problems with their garage door operation is that they do not follow up on the warning signs that garage doors hive them before they have a severe breakdown. This includes such things as squealing, grinding or the garage door hitting the floor hard when it closes. Never ignore warning signs such as these because doing so may make what was only a minor garage door problem into a much bigger and more expensive garage door repair.

Be Proactive When It Comes To Taking Care Of Your Garage Door

One of the overall patterns you should be seeing in this article is being proactive with garage door maintenance is the best way to go. Garage doors operate under such stress and strain that’s it’s easy for little problems to become much bigger ones if periodic maintenance is not done on them. So getting routine inspections and maintenance done on your garage doors will help significantly expand the amount of time you can use them before they need to be replaced.

How Beauty Drives Evolution

“Survival of the Fittest.” Although Darwin failed to come up with that word, it has come to define his principle of evolution: that traits that improve a species’ odds of staying alive are particularly favored to be handed on. (Consider the Galápagos finches, whose beaks have changed over time to crack open one of a kind types of seeds.) But in The Evolution of Beauty, ornithologist Richard O.

Take, as an example, the male membership-winged manakin, a hen whose ornate feathers have developed to supply a “song” at the same time as they fly (thanks to a sequence of bumps that vibrate inside the wind) that draws women. Far from making them more fit, those feathers — and the bigger bones required to help them — surely gradual the manakins down, suggesting that, as Prum concludes, animal splendor standards “may be as irrational, unpredictable and dynamic” as our own.

Hello From Ontario – A Driving Tour Along the Niagara Escarpment Although I love the metropolis the summer usually makes me itch to get out into the USA. So I knew as up my friend Karel with whom I had helped organize a convention a few years ago and requested him if he could mind getting together in his neck of the woods close to Burlington for a country using a tour of the Niagara Escarpment. Since we had now not seen every other for more than one years it turned into an extremely good opportunity to trap up and enjoy a stunning power on the same time.

So we met this morning on a car parking zone just off Guelph Line within the north give up of Burlington. I parked my car and off we drove in Karel’s convertible. We drove north into the green nation-state and up a slope to get to our first destination: a nature vicinity called the Mount Nemo Conservation Area. We parked the automobile and walked about 15 minutes eastwards through a woodland till we reached a steep cliff and a lookout factor that supplied a lovely a hundred and eighty diploma view over the rolling farm u. S . That became sprawling some distance beneath us.

The Niagara Escarpment is a geological formation that extends from western New York State through Ontario to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. It originated due to unequal erosion wherein a top layer of harder and more resistant dolomitic limestone overlays more without difficulty eroded shale.

Considering that approximately 7 million people live within close proximity the organic range on this specific location is remarkable.

We started out walking on a trail right at the threshold of a cliff and Karel knowledgeable me that the Niagara Escarpment is extraordinarily popular with rock climbers. I wanted to take a good photo of the cliffs and crevices, however, my fear of heights and the shear vertical drop avoided me from exploring the very edge of the cliff. The many caves also are famous with spelunkers. We walked about 20 minutes northwards and had a beautiful view toward Rattlesnake Point, every other rocky outcrop along the Niagara Escarpment. Then we took an aspect path returned via the forest to the automobile parking space and continued our drive.

About ten mins further north we stopped at the village of Lowville to have a take a look at Lowville Park. The Sixteen Mile Creek slowly meanders via the park and nature trails department off from the parking lot vicinity. Right subsequent to the park is the Lowville Bistro, a lately renovated restaurant that gives upscale informal eating, a licensed out of doors patio, an ice cream parlor and take-out. The city itself dates back to the early 1800s and was advanced after the Mississauga Land Purchase. The descendants of a number of those early settlers nonetheless live in the village today. 36 historical buildings and a Pioneer Cemetery still undergo witness to this as soon as a thriving rural community.

Leaving Lowville behind we headed directly north to any other conservation region inside the Halton Region Conservation System: Crawford Lake features a so-called meromictic lake, a deep frame of water where distinct layers of water do no longer intermix. This creates an oxygen-poor surroundings that aren’t conducive to dwelling organisms. As an end result, archeologists are capable of drill center samples of soil from the lake mattress that date again several centuries. One of those drillings caused the invention of corn pollen and the realization that there has been as soon as an Indian village within the region. Subsequent archeological digs showed the presence of a native settlement.

A fifteenth century pre-touch Iroquoian Village has been reconstructed on its original website and capabilities timber longhouses that comprise sound asleep quarters, a fire pit and garage areas for equipment, animal hides, and meals. Guides offer motives of the lifestyle of the Iroquois tribes that inhabited this area. This conservation vicinity is a famous vacation spot for faculty children and summer season camps and throughout our go to numerous groups of young people have been taking part in themselves inside the grassy regions in front of the lengthy homes.

Martin built a grist mill alongside Sixteen Mile Creek and also created a pond, Mill Pond, which continues to be in lifestyles nowadays and has to emerge as a popular pastime place for nearby citizens with its taking walks trails and the gazebo that overlooks the water.

Main Street in downtown Milton still speaks of its Victorian historical past, vintage City Hall, the Post Office Building and numerous other church buildings and secular homes date lower back to the mid to late 1800s. Many restaurants and cafés have sprung up in the downtown center which beckons traffic to sit down and loosen up on a number of their outside patios.

From the quaint town of Milton, we headed northwest in the direction of a small village called Aberfoyle, north of Highway 401. Karel cautioned that we’ve launched at the neighborhood Aberfoyle Mill, an actual mill that becomes converted into a restaurant in 1966. Aberfoyle itself became first settled within the 1840s and is famous for its Aberfoyle Spring Water.

The Aberfoyle Mill itself become constructed with the aid of a Scottish immigrant by means of the call of George McLean in 1859 and even won a gold medal for its oatmeal at the 1867 World’s Fair in Pairs.
