The air was not on, of course, she could not tell weather it was hot or cold, her whole body was to engulfed with anger right now to even think of anything. Her pack, at least, some of them were siding with those good for nothing Bloodsucking things and she wanted them dead and that was it. She did not care if they fed on animals, call can change and that is just simple as that. She set on her floor, in the middle of the floor, her hear was in her hands as she set indian style on the floor, trying to think. Trying to calm down before she went out. She did not know what she would do right now, all she knew was that Sydney seemed to have lost her mind.
After all they had gone through with those bloodsuckers, she wanted to bring more into there home and say there were going to help. She must of been crazy to think that Karen would allow this to happen without her blowing her top. Karen had three sisters who had been killed, all were possible going to add to the pack. Those vampires had taken each of them and killed them and Karen had not gotten to them in time. She had found them mangled with their eyes open wide, fear was easily read in them. She had always felt responsible for the deaths and that would never end any time soon.
She felt hot tears run down her face, she did not know why she had to let those memories flood her brain, but she knew they were. She was ignoring the sound of something coming to her house, the sound of footsteps on her porch and the door opening. Her mind was to involved right now.

Slipping out of her silver Titian, Ashley made her way toward the porch door. She heard or rather felt the sadness and tears that fell down Karens face. And she had to admit it hurt to see her friend like this. She should be happy...she had a new home, a mate but instead she was living in the past just like Ashley did day by day. Pushing open the door she walked inside the house and headed start for Karen. Seeing her on the floor caused her to pause in her motion. "Karen" Ashley whispered into the silent air as she walked over to her friend.
Kneeling down in front of her she reached out and wiped a few of the tears from her cheeks. "There is no need to cry" her southern accent made her tone seem light as she spoke to Karen. Settling herself on the ground she crossed her legs just like that of Karen's, placing both of her elbows on her legs she stared at her with almond shape eyes. "Tell me whats wrong?" came her next order/question for her. Afraid that something was eating at the lovable temperamental Karen. |

Karen heard the sound of the Titian come up in her front yard. She did not have a drive way, she just parked her own Dodge Ram out front in the yard, the old beat up dodge ram had been fixed up to perfection. Karen was so mad right now, that was the reason for her tears, the new home, the new mate, everything was perfect... But the past... It haunted her every night, she knew her pack saw the images from the nightmares she had, even though she did not focus on them, it was so hard not to focus on those images, it killed her. Those dead, those horrible things that killed everything.
"Karen," The sound of her alpha's voice brought her to everything and she turned her head to see Ashley standing in her house. She did not mind it, but if it had been Sydney, they would have brawled right then and there. She turned her face back to looking at the wall, pulling her knees to her chest and then feeling a hand touch her face. "There is no need to cry," She looked at Ashley a little bit of happiness flashed forward, but it was whipped away with everything.
"Yes there is... Death, Memories, Anger, Rage... And other words that can come forward," She had always been the rebel one, the strong one that was ready for a fight and could always laugh. She listened and yet the last time her and Sydney spoke were at the meeting with the Bloodsuckers and they had yelled. She wanted to go mad, she did not know what to do. She did not want to join those bloodsucking scums.
"Tell me whats wrong?" It was a order but also a friendly plead. The southern voice made her look at Ashley and she just looked ahead, letting her body just relax as best she could.
"I cry for everything... Losing the home we once protected, leaving our dead family to be those scums dinner... Having Sydney try and be a hero by saying that those 'things' needing help... Not having my point made that I do not want to be around them. I hate them!" Tears seemed to come with each memory of the death and the fight. She had not wanted to fight but she had not want to be with those bloodsuckers. She had heard that the pack here had sided with them before and were still friendly with them. They had to fight against many different things for years and then the Hybrid was here... Karen did not understand why something would be left alive, she was a vampire but yet a human... She still drank blood in her opinion. |

"Yes there is... Death, Memories, Anger, Rage... And other words that can come forward," Ashley felt pain lace through her mind and body at her words. She didn't like to see Karen like this, the pain that seemed to never end. Ashley wished she could take it into herself, wanting to be the shield that protected her pack from all this. Yet she had failed them and in the end everything went down the drain.
"I cry for everything... Losing the home we once protected, leaving our dead family to be those scums dinner... Having Sydney try and be a hero by saying that those 'things' needing help... Not having my point made that I do not want to be around them. I hate them!"
Wincing at the force of her emotions Ashley let her have out what she needed to have out. Reaching a hand out she took Karen's in her own and pulled her up with her as she stood. Knowing that this was a long shot, but one that she wanted to try. She had went back to their home town a few weeks ago and had seen what was left. Ashley of course hadn't told Karen or even Sydney were she was going when she had disappeared.
"Karen, I am going to ask you something" she let her voice trail off on the sentence as she looked at her puffy face. "I.." moving her eyes from Karen's face she stared at the ground, her hand gentle dropped the other girls hand, letting it fall to the side once more. "Went back to our home town...not many people are still alive. And those that were had changed into them" her voice caught on the words as she tired once more. "Do you want to come back with me? Thats were I have been disappearing to when I leave for periods of time" |

Karen knew that Ashley had wanted to take away the pain, but no one could take memories away and that was the easy thing to say. Ashley had left for unknown reason and now she was back. It had caused a lot of Anger, but Karen seemed not to mind much in the end. Karen felt Ashley wince as the force of the emotion she was bring forth and then she felt Ashley pulling her up from the floor.
"Karen, I am going to ask you something," Karen looked at her with a confused look, a few tears still traveled down her face as she looked at her. She needed to know what this was about, but she figured she would hear it in a few moment. "I.." She watched as she looked at the ground, the strong leader was looking at the ground and she did not like it much. Her hand dropped her to her side after it had held her own hand. "Went back to our home town...not many people are still alive. And those that were had changed into them," Karen wanted to yell no, but it was no use, it was no use in even trying to hold things back, tears filled her eyes now. She heard her voice catch in her voice and then she spoke again. "Do you want to come back with me? Thats were I have been disappearing to when I leave for periods of time." She wanted Karen to go with her, not Sydney, it was something she had not seen coming and she gave a quick nod.
"Yes, I want to go with you... But when are we going to go," Karen still held a hope that just maybe there was a soul with a beating heart and possible a soul of a family member who would add to there pack one day. |

She was perpared for the worst but when nothing came to pass, Ashley turned toward Karen. Her eyes locked on her face as her pack member answered her question. "Yes, I want to go with you... But when are we going to go," An she excepted would have left the lips of Karen. None of the pack had gone back to their home town since that night, an order that Ashley had issued after they left it overrun with vampires. She had broken her own rule without a second thought, she just had to see the town and what she saw had caused her to grow cold inside.
"We leave tonight" Ashley said to Karen. Taking a few steps forward she made her way to the front door. Stopping only slightly to turn and stare at her friend. "You may want to leave a note for your mate Karen, I dont know how long I will be staying there" Images flashed through her mind as she recalled what the town had looked like. Those freaking creatures didnt leave anything unturned, they destroyed most of the houses, burned a few even. When she had came upon her own house it had been left standing. Hoping just hoping that her mother was alive, but any sign of life was destroyed from her mind when she walked into her own house.
The blood of her family and friends spread across the walls, dry as of now. It coated the walls like a second thing of paint. No one could ever get over the sight of the town. And the vampires never stopped there, who they didnt want to change they either ripped them apart or tied them down inside their houses. Setting it on fire and listening to their screams. She should tell Karen and the others about the tape she had found, once played it had made her want to puke. Her insides curled as she watched the video...the f**king bastards had video taped most of their killings. Knowing that they would be back to their home town sometime in the near future.
Gripping the wall with her fingers she heard the wood start to crack beneath the force of her hand. The video was with her, locked in a safe in her own house. When she would show it to her pack that was left unknown. "Be perpared Karen...its...horrible" she warned her friend before turning back to the front door. "I will be back in a few, get ready and pack things you need" |

Karen looked at Ashley, she was not sure if that answer was right, but she knew she was not going to back down anytime soon. She had spent the evening with Leo last night and now she was going to go home and try her best to truly clean it. As she thought about it she realized that Ashley had broken her own rule but no one was going to think of anything else, in fact, they would just agree with her if she brought it up.
"We leave tonight," The urgency to leave was quick to see and Karen just nodded her head as she saw her take a few steps out. She did not know if they would take a car or go in complete wolf form, but that was what she figured. She glanced at the picture of her mother, father, herself and three sisters. She had had the largest family in the pack. She had lost more, but she also had more family, she had a little cousin who she had been unable to find for many days. "You may want to leave a note for your mate Karen, I dont know how long I will be staying there." That would be a quick thing to do and she had planned to do that as soon as possible. She saw her own images and now she had to show she was going to do her best. She hoped her own home was not destroyed, but she had little hope.
"I will be waiting... Where do we met? Do we need to take anything with us?" She still did not know is she would need her truck, but right now, she doubted she would need it, she just knew she had to contact Leo and tell him. Some had been bothering Ashley and she figured it was something bad. She heard the sound of wood cracking and looked at her, waiting to know what was wrong, but she figured she would not until they headed south.
"Be perpared Karen...its...horrible," The warning was heard and she nodded to her and then turned to head up stairs. She looked back for a moment, knowing that there was something else. "I will be back in a few, get ready and pack things you need," She glanced back and nodded before she headed into the kitchen to get a glass of sweet tea, the only thing this place did not have, Ice Cold Sweet Tea. She poured a glass and headed to her room and started packing a small bag.
She placed two shirts, two pants, two pair of socks, and honestly that was it. She put some soap, but she figured they would not bathe much while they were gone. She was always one to pack quickly and think about what they would do, she never took a lot of things. |

Once she saw Karen leave to get ready, Ashley was out the door and in her truck in a matter of seconds. Starting it up she drove to her and Sydneys house as quickly as possible, throwing the truck in park she jumped out and headed into her own home. It didnt take her long to leave a note on the table for Syd, telling her that she was going somewhere with Karen and she shouldnt have to worry about a thing. Racing up the steps she grabbed a bag and tossed it onto her bed as she started to pack things.
Clothes for one thing, extra pair of shoes, along with soap, a hair brush and many other things. Zipping the black bag up she tossed it over her shoulder and made her way down the stairs before she remembered something. Gentle she placed the bag down on the ground and walked back upstairs to her room. Opening up one of her closet doors she bent down and stared at the safe that she brought into her room not to long ago. Karen would have to see it sometime or another, and she would rather he see it were there wasnt any other vampires around.
Reaching forward she spun the dial and opened the safe. Her fingers paused in grabbing the tape before she made her decision and took it in her hand. Shutting the safe and respinning the dial she pushed herself off of the back of her heels and walked back downstairs to her things. Bending down to grab the bag she headed for the door, with one toss it landed in the back of truck. And before long she was out of her driveway and heading for Karens house, the tape locked away in her bag. |

Karen was quick to leave a message on Leo's phone before she went down stairs and grabbed some money from a little money jar she kept stashed from everyone. It was the last of her savings, but she knew they might need it. She placed the money in her wallet and pushed it into her back pocket. She made sure the bag would be easily grabbed if they had to change into her wolf form to get home, but other then that she just placed it on the table and waited, keeping the door open for Ashley to come in.
Karen turned the TV on, allowing some country music to fill the air and at least calm her nerves as she waited, sitting at the table and listening for the truck to come. It was not long and she fixed Ashley a drink for her so they could have something in there stomachs before they headed out. She allowed the cold liquid to moved down her throat and then met Ashley at the door.
Ashley came in, with her bag and her truck was parked outside. Karen was still confused on if they were taking a truck or going by foot, but either way worked for her when it came down to it, but they would have to be sure to stay out of sight.
"I'm ready to head out," She said as she pointed to her small bag, which was actually a backpack, but it was rather small. She waited and felt like she was about to find out something she would not like. |

Taking the glass from Karen, Ashley smiled softly to her. Sipping it after a few seconds she drowned the rest in a matter of seconds. Placing the empty cup on the kitchen table she turned her eyes onto Karens face before she spoke to her. "I am ready to head out" Karen has said. With another smile she reached out and picked up Karens bag. Turning toward the door she headed for her truck.
"Alrights lets get going then" she said to her friend before walking to her truck. Tossing the bag in the back with her own she pulled open the drivers side and slipped inside.
Waiting for Karen who had followed her out to get into the car. Once she heard and saw the passanger side close with a loud bang she started the truck quickly and headed back to their home town. She didnt know what to say, or even what to do as they drove. She didnt want to tell her about the tape right away. Ashley would have to show her after they got home, but something told her that it was going to be rough to even watch. After watching only a second of the tape she had turned it off without a second thought. |

"Alrights lets get going then" Ashley took the glass and waited for a second as she drowned it down and then set it on the table. Karen put water in it and in her's and then followed her out. She watched her bag get tossed and stepped into the truck, stilling trying to get the nightmare out of her head from the other day, which she had had before the meeting. She knew the others had seen it, that was easy to tell, but she had not mentioned it.
Karen was in the truck and it was started before she even had her belt on, which she was not in a rush to put on. She had a feeling she was going to be in for a sick night, but right now she did not care, she just wanted to get home and get rid of as many vampires as possible.
"Are we sure that there is no one else," She had remembered never seeing her Aunt those last few days and her Aunt had been the alpha when her mother and Aunt had been the protectors. She had remembered the stories when she first become on and how her little cousin, Alex, had been the only child. They had been two people who never saw apart.

"Are we sure that there is no one else," How could one tell their best friend about their Aunt? Gripping the steering wheel tightly, she nodded slowly to what she asked.
"There are no more vampires in the town" if there had been she would have been dead.
"The ones that were changed the first time I was there, seemed to have vanished when I went back the second time" her brown eyes turned to stare at Karen for a second before she turned her eyes once more back to the road.
"There...is one person still there" she explained to her softly. She would have to tell her more when she got closer to their town, why tell Karen now and have her flipping out all the way there.
It wasnt a good idea to keep this hidden from her that long, but she needed a calm Karen not one that would freak out and attack at any moment.
"You will see them when we get there" She felt bad about not telling her who was there. Leaning back against the seat she losened her grip on the wheel as she drove alittle faster then before. Rushing to get home before nightfall, not that any vampires had been around there for some time. But she wasnt about ready to take the chance that those who have surived would get hurt. |

"There are no more vampires in the town." She let out a silent breath and looked ahead as they drove, kind of happy but at the same time dreading to see the town. "The ones that were changed the first time I was there, seemed to have vanished when I went back the second time." Those words were like something, a nightmare that just add to the one she had already had. She hated to know her friends and family were vampires, but what else could be done. "There...is one person still there," Her voice was soft, but heard and Karen looked at her, excitement but fear in her eyes.
"Who?" She could not help but asking, it was natural to want to know, she had loved her family and her friends, she wanted to know who was left. It was silent and she did not understand at first why. She hated silence and it felt like she was being lied to.
"You will see them when we get there." That was not the words she wanted, but she just nodded, feeling the car picking up speed as they moved faster towards home

It did take them long to get to their home town. The hours had passed quickly, Ashley saw the sun as it started to set for the day. Which ment that they had to get to Karen's aunts house quickly. Just for her to check on Alex like she had been doing since she found her. Turning the corner she came up into their driveway and throw the car into park. Jumping out quickly she forgot about the bags and rushed up the steps. Pushing the door open she looked inside. Ashley had to check on the aunt, the old alpha...which was now a vampire.
Walking up the stairs she headed for the aunts room, pushing it open silently and looked inside. Karens Aunt sat in her rocking chair in the far right corner of the room. Her face pale with the loss of color that seemed to be draining from her face. Gentle she pulled the door close. With a sigh she turned and headed back downstairs. Her eyes locked with Karens as she stood there at the bottom of the steps. "Alex?" Ashley said into the silent house, hoping that the girl had listened to what Ashley had told her.
Warned her never to go into her mothers room, warned her never to step outside at night time. She warned her to be safe and that the next time she came it would be with Karen and they would be taking her away from this place. She just didnt know what to do about the aunt, she was a vampire...what would Karen do if she found out? |

OOC: I will post with Alex after Karen from now on.
Karen had spent the hours either catching up on sleep or watching the land move by her faster and faster. She had missed home, but as the sun was setting the passed the sign that said 'Welcome to Auburn' the old town had not changed much until they got into the actually town. Cars were parked on the road, but they had not been started in a long time, windows were busted in the stores and Karen could smell blood everywhere they went.
As they parked at her Aunt's house she saw her home, burnt to the ground, which caused her to want to yell and scream, but she did not. She stepped out of the truck after Ashley did and watched as she went into the house quickly. She smelt vampire, it was easy to smell and she had a feeling she would not like who it was. She wanted to see her Aunt, weather she was a vampire or not, but she wanted to see her Aunt.
As she walked in, Ashley came down stairs and the words came from her mouth quickly. Karen wanted to just go mad right here and there as the word was spoken and she let her nose take in the air.
"Alex?" She was alive! Karen looked around quickly, the house was a mess, but it seemed to have been picked up since then. Food was in the house, which meant, someone was feeding the child, which made Karen want to Barf... The smell of the vampire was strong.
"Where is my Aunt Ashley? I want to see her..." She did not care about the fact that her Aunt was possible a vampire, she just wanted to see her Aunt, right now.
