Dawson's Cabin is a private residence. It is the home of Elijah, but he opens his doors to the pack. This is the informal hangout of Larentia's Order and is rarely every empty. Members of the pack are welcome here day and night. With only two small bedrooms to offer, Elijah always makes room for the pack and offers his space to everyone in need.* * * *  - front exterior -  - back porch fire pit -  - living room -  - Elijah's bedroom -  - pool room, attic - |

Alpha of larentia's Order By early morning, Elijah had showered and shaved and combed through his hair. He had a single suit that was laid out the night before. He only worse this suit on special occasions. It hadn't been worn in almost a decade. He hoped the next time he took it out was for a wedding. A funeral would have to do.
As he stood in the kitchen mirror, adjusting his tie, Elijah sighed and frowned. He was nervous for the coming days. The death of a witch would matter none to him except that this witch had been his saving grace. This witch was his safety net, his security, and now she was dead.
It was quiet. Elijah looked around the room. Elliott had yet to come bounding down the stairs in his usual fashion. "Elliott!" He shouted into the air. His voice shook the foundation of the cabin. "Let's go! We need to be early." Addressed: Elliott Mentioned: Devona Tags: Piper |

Elliott didn't like death. He didn't understand why the whole "celebration of life" that people promised funerals would be. It was never a celebration of life. It was just depressing. Elliott's only ever been to one funeral and it was for his grandfather. It was the only time he ever saw his dad cry. Would his dad cry at this one, too?
There was a suit laid out on the bed. It was new. Elliott had outgrown the one he wore to his grandfather's "celebration".
So, Elliott decided against the suit. He put on a nice sweater and a white button down underneath. His kakis were wrinkled, so he chose the corduroy trousers with the ripped pockets. Elliott liked his nice clothes, but he was rough on them. They never lasted too long with his adventurous personality.
"Elliott!" That was him. Elliott quickly straightened out his sweater, took one last look in the mirror, and went running down the stairs as fast as a whip. He skipped the last three stairs and landed on the ground with a giant thud.
"I'm ready, I'm ready." His tone was a loud mutter, easily mistaken as flippant. "Don't gotta shout. Why we gotta be early anyhow?"

Alpha of larentia's Order The kid came bounding down the stairs, skipping the last three and landing with a powerful thud on the hardwood floors, catching the father's attention. "Whoa! Kid. You're gonna break your neck coming down those stairs that way. Not to mention the floors." When he turned around, Elijah noticed the suit was not on.
"Where's the suit I laid out for you, huh?" He approached the 10 year old. The collar was poking out of the sweater. Elijah adjusted it. "Change. We'll leave when you're' ready."
He turned back on his heels and looked back at the mirror. Today was going to be difficult. |

Elliott frowned. He hoped his dad would just ignore the suit, put him in the car, and drive to the cemetery. He was wrong. "Fine." He mumbled and stomped back up the stairs.
The suit was still laid on the bed. It was just sitting there, like an omen. Elliott sighed, started to undress, and then stopped halfway to look in the mirror. His frame was so small. The suit seemed too big. Elliott looked at himself up and down in the mirror. For a second, he wondered if he looked like his mother.
He put the suit on and took a final glance. The suit wasn't big. It was just the right size, and somehow it felt wrong. Uncomfortable.
With a sigh, Elliott headed back down the stairs for his father's approval. "Ready."

POST FUNERAL... π α † α l ι ε
δ α l † ø π
A FACE THAT NEVER CHANGES CAN NEVER BE SEEN FOR TOO LONG
The world could be so funny sometimes. Natalie spent a decade trying to forget this place. She had been running for so long that it hadn't even occurred to her that she'd eventually run a full circle.
It was close to the end. The clock ticking was the only sound heard throughout the cabin. A decade later and still the doors were never locked despite the dangers that lurked in this town. Elijah was always so trusting. Years ago that would've been a turn on, but Natalie had more than herself to worry about now.
She ran her fingers along the stone that lined the fireplace. Her fingernails dragged against it, scuffing and scratching at the detail. Red paint chipped from her index finger and fell to the floor. No denying that she was here if she disappeared before his return.
Natalie couldn't run. She had too much to do. The regent was dead and Baskerville was about to fall victim to a vindictive prick she knew years ago. Devona's death meant hell was coming to this small town. If it hadn't been for-- Natalie's wouldn't care.
"You're not afraid, are you?" She asked her travel companion.
A months of traveling and Natalie met a little wolf that, like her, needed some extra guidance. Esperanza was the first creature granted special access to Natalie's life. She travels alone, but this girl-- this child needed her. Born afraid and alone, Esperanza was a living hybrid. The only other hybrid Natalie had ever met was herself... and only a wolf pack could protect her now.

"You're not afraid, are you?" "You're not afraid, are you?"
"You're not afraid, are you?"
Words echoed throughout her head. She merely stared at Natalie before looking around the place once more. Standing near the wooden staircase she'd walk forward and lean over the couch while reaching for a decorative pillow only to stare at its design and feel the rough and worn fabric. This place was overwhelming. Her senses felt erratic and at some point she started to feel sick. "Afraid? Am I scared? Y-yes I am." she thought "I-I am... I barely know you. And now I'm somewhere that is unknown to me." She answered honestly while lowering her gaze.
After all no one wanted her. She didn't belong with either kind. She can't remember her parents. Her memory was torn. She can only recall fragments of her childhood. And every memory that has surfaced, she was alone scavenging for food while wearing beat up clothing she found in the trash. She remembers she belonged to some indigenous tribe in Mexico. She was constantly pelted with rocks by the other children in the pack. Men and woman glared and stared at her in disgust while addressing her as "niña demonio". She was an outcast.
So being in this new environment truly terrified her after all what if its the same outcome as many others? Esperanza pressed her face in the pillow for a few seconds before releasing it and turning around to face Natalie. "Am I going to be an outcast here?" She asked while nervously digging her fingernails into her wrist. Her eyes flickered red as if she was about to have some emotional outburst. Clutching onto her wrist with her left hand she spun around and took a deep breathe. "It can't be as bad as the time that wretched incubi family took me in...." She shuddered.... Recalling the torturous family that took her in when she was a child. "What happens if they find out what I am?" She asked quietly. "Surely they are welcoming because why would Natalie bring me here?" She thought but it seems so many insecurities began to run rampant in her mind.

This was difficult for her. Natalie was never empathetic even before the demon took over. She was older when the succubus succeeded her; but she was always a bit... heartless. Her motive was selfish-- in most cases, except this one.
"You don't have to trust me." Natalie inched closer to the little wolf. Her smile was sincere. "But you'll want to trust him."
Him. Natalie promised the child that Elijah would care for her, because he cared for Natalie once when she was at her most vulnerable.
She knew very little of Esperanza's past. The girl was guarded. Natalie understand that better than anyone, but still she wondered. When she found her, Esperanza was the shell of a human person-- barely surviving. In a hundred-and-twenty-years, Natalie had never seen someone so... broken. She feared who might get their hands on someone as innocent as Esperanza.
"You won't be an outcast here, darling." She assured her. This wasn't a promise. This was a fact. "Elijah knows what I am... and he protected me. He'll do the same for you." Addressed: esperanza mentioned: elijah

Alpha of larentia's Order Elijah decided to take Elliott home. He had hoped for a better introduction with the witches and a more formal affair in whole, but it was foolish of him to think he could have it all.
His wolves were out of control. The witches were confused, hurt, and scared. The whole town as falling under the watchful eye of the press and these changes could only spell disaster.
As they approached the cabin, Elijah noticed something sinister lurking in the air. Maybe it was the wind picking up a foreign scent, or maybe it was the wreckage of his day creeping back into his home... all he knew was something didn't feel right.
"Stay close to me, El." He whispered as they walked up to the front door. It was open. He didn't lock it before they left. Maybe he should think about starting that.
It wasn't just the wind. It was the funeral gloom. There was something wrong. Elijah came around the corner of the room. He waited for a second and then pounced. He grabbed whoever was on the other side and threw them up against the wall. He had their neck, and then he realized...
"Natalie?" He dropped his arms and stepped back.
He was so focused on her, he hadn't realized the second person in the room, yet. He glanced, and then returned his gaze to her. "What are you doing here?" |

Elliott didn't know a lot about his mother. He didn't even really have a picture or even a name. Her existence was a mystery to him, so when he entered the cabin he had no idea who was about to meet or what her importance was.
Elijah urged him to hang back, which Elliott didn't want to obey; but his father was bigger than him and this kid was getting lost in the background. He tried to look around him, but his view was obstructed.
Elijah went in like he was prepping for battle. Elliott should've been ready to run, but his curiosity got the better of him.
"Natalie?" The name seemed familiar, but Elliott was drawing a blank.
He looked around his father. There were two women in the cabin: a blonde with unbelievably blue eyes and a shy, brown-eyed girl who appeared to be cowering in the corner. Elliott related to her.

Time was a funny, cruel little thing. The succubus knew the taste of immortality. It made her envious of death. Time came for those who had served their lives, their purposes. She stood above that-- never changing.
It had been 10 years since Natalie saw him. Time had taken a knife to his face, carving out new lines. Time had the wolf; but it wouldn't take her... even if she begged for it.
"Hello." She breathed with his hands still on her neck. "Good to see you haven't forgotten me." His brow furrowed and when he dropped her, it was like the weight of the world had fallen at his feet. Poor Elijah... always so sensitive.
He stumbled back like he was started or trying to escape her. She wrapped her hands around her neck where his fingers had pressed into her skin. Ow. She might've bruised if demons were so delicate.
"What are you doing here?"
She stepped out from in front of him. That's when she saw the boy-- the only thing would trap her here. She froze for a second, staring at the blonde hair, the small lips that matched her own, and the pair of glasses that hid big brown eyes...
She unfroze and drew the attention to Esperanza, who was fearfully cowering at the back of the room. "I-- She needs help and I trust you."
There was no reminiscing. There was no small talk. Natalie didn't want to remain in town any longer than was absolutely necessary. This was a drop off, check in, and get out situation. |
