Shadowsouled 48: Ashallia
Ashallia frowned at Alex as he shushed her, but feel silent. She wanted to know more, still stunned at how far they'd travelled so quickly, but he was right. Finding Jason was all that mattered now. She sighed softly, closing her eyes and trying to calm herself. After a moment, she realised she could sense him, but only just."He's that way, but.. it's weak, I can barely feel it," she said, her worry for him rising, "Does that mean..?" Lukas shook his head, squeezing her hand gently, "No, we don't know anything yet. Try not to think the worst." She gave him a weak smile, but Alex frowned at her, "You can sense which direction he's in?" he asked, and she nodded. "That was how he first knew," Lukas explained, his voice soft, "He said it was like a strange pulling sensation, drawing him to her." Alex looked thoughtful at that, then grabbed her other hand, "Can you tell how far?" he asked, and she thought a moment, shaking her head. "Usually it's stronger the closer we are, and it's weak
Shadowsouled 49: Lukas
Lukas eyed Ashallia warily as she followed the other two. He could sense her weariness now, after she'd drawn it from Nate, and it made him feel concerned. It seemed she was similar to him, feeling the need to help others, but he knew all too well that there was only so much that one person could bear.She was already looking more pale, but seemed determined to keep up with Alex and Nate, as they moved through the shadows silently, along another corridor. They paused at the end, where two doorways stood opposite each other, one on either side. The right had a small shadow mark beside it, marking it as clear. They turned to the other, and Alex summoned a singular small orb this time, sending it forward to check for a reaction as it crossed the threshold. The air was thick with apprehension, that stayed after it crossed with no response from within. Alex changed the orb then, duplicating it into many, and shoving them forward, hard. Still nothing, and Nate stepped forward carefully, m
Shadowsouled 50: Ashallia
Ash frowned at Lukas, sensing his unease, and hesitation, as he sent the message. It was echoed in Alex and Mikael behind her, and she couldn't help feeling some herself, wondering what their other cousins were like to cause them to feel like this, assuming that's who 'Vik' was. She heard Mikael moving some stuff around behind her, then dragging a large, sturdy metal barrel over. Alex noticed, and helped him, and they began picking up and put the oddly shaped guns inside, barrel down. When all but three were inside, Alex raised an eyebrow at Mikael, "We can't blow it, we don't know how it will react. It could just spread it." Mikael nodded, putting the lid on firmly, "We can seal it," he said, pulling something small from his pocket, and cutting it open with a knife. Alex nodded, helping him carefully spread the substance around the rim, before they lit it and stepped back. It went up in sudden flames, with an enormous heat that she felt even as far back as she was from it. Alex che
Shadowsouled 51: Jason
Jason pulled her hips close as he kissed her deeply, letting his need for her overwhelm him. She embraced it fully, returning his kiss as she wrapped her arms around him, and he felt her need for him too. Yet there was something else there too, something.. deeper. He looked down into her beautiful green eyes as he tried to place the feeling, and she smiled up at him, blushing. He smiled back, and she lifted his shirt until he pulled it over his head, letting it drop to the floor, before lifting hers. She raised her arms, letting him remove it, and he pushed her back towards the bed, removing the rest of his clothes before joining her. Hooking his thumbs in the sides of her underwear, he trailed soft kisses along the soft skin of her legs as he removed them slowly. As he positioned himself over her, she smiled at him again, that feeling only growing stronger. He felt it too, he realised suddenly, as he looked into her eyes once more. It was only small, like a tiny spark of something
Shadowsouled 52: Ashallia
Ash sighed softly as he curled his body around her, and she snuggled back into him, entwining her fingers with his as he wrapped an arm around her. He pulled her tight against him then, whispering softly in her ear, "Mine." She couldn't help but smile, nodding her head gently as she felt waves of fierce possessiveness coming from him, intertwined with those warmth threads of affection. "Yes," she whispered back, and he sighed with the same contentment she always felt now, when wrapped safely in his arms. It surprised her, the way she'd started to feel for him, but she knew she wouldn't change it for the world. The world had certainly never made her feel so safe, and wanted, and loved, like he did. His brothers too, who'd shown more care for her in the past week, than most people had in her whole life.There were rare exceptions, of course, who she missed dearly, but overall, it was increasingly seeming like leaving had truly been the best thing for her. Even with the scary parts. She
Shadowsouled 53: Mikael
Mikael sighed as he started to explain everything to Viktor. He mostly focused on the weapons, but there was some background information he needed to know too, about who these men were, and the kind of power and influence they had. Or once had, given that at least three of the key members of the network had been killed when they went for Jason, plus Henrik. He left out Ashallia's presence during it all, and the abilities she'd begun showing. Not just because he was wary and distrustful of Vik and his brothers, but also because she wasn't exactly aware that those deaths were mostly caused by her. He didn't think she'd react particularly well to finding out she'd killed someone - or many someones, all at once, with the huge burst of power she'd unleashed at the end. They still weren't entirely sure whether it was her power that had escalated rapidly, or simply that the first wounds she'd transferred were much less severe, but at least the first ones she'd hit with it had been alive en
Shadowsouled 54: Ashallia
Ash was relieved when Jason whispered that they were leaving, even if she didn't like that it seemed to be on Mikael's terms, rather than her own. She quickly slipped into the bathroom to change, and Jason led her from the overcrowded room, and towards the lift. Surprisingly, Nate caught up to them, just as the doors began to close, joining them inside. "Couldn't stand being in there much longer either," he said, still sounding irritated, "Not without giving him a long overdue punch to the face, anyway." Ashallia widened her eyes at him, but Jason chuckled softly, squeezing her hand. "Long overdue, and well deserved," he said quietly, making her frown, uncomfortable with so much talk of violence. Nate have her an apologetic look, and shrugged, "Sorry, Miss, but he really does deserve it." She only widened her eyes more at that, feeling awkward at being addressed so formally. "Uhm.. 'Ash' is fine," she said softly, and he bowed his head slightly, smiling. "Of course, Ash," he said as
Shadowsouled 55: Jason
Jason moved closer to Ash, his arm around her waist, as he eyed Vera with distrust. From the little he'd seen of her family so far, and the way she'd been so eager to leave them, he didn't much like seeing any of them here. His suspicion of her only grew, as she mentioned Kevin, apparently saying more than she intended. "I'd also like to know," he said suddenly, making the woman frown at him, suddenly seeming nervous. "I.. " she started, looking between him and Ash, "I think that's something Ashallia and I should discuss another time, alone." Ash and Nate both tensed at that, likely disliking her unwillingness to speak about it as much he did. He sighed deeply, turning to Ash, "We should finish your shopping," he said quietly, and Vera's eyes widened, and she shook her head. "Oh my, no. You're not going to leave already, are you dear? We should catch up, it's been such a long time." Ash simply shrugged slightly, and he felt her hurt along with her suspicion. She really didn't like t
