        “Does it really need to be this one?” he asked as he looked at the rather large pumpkin in the patch the pair stood. It was certainly too big to be used for a meal unless the intention was to serve fifty, and sure, it would look freaking cool filled with candles and the like but…Taurus did not want to carry it. He was strong enough too but it would be awkward, he wouldn’t be able to see where he was going. “I’ll do it but…it has to be this one?” the alpha reiterated.

Usually Cassidy did not go all out when it came to the holidays, mostly because he could not afford it.  However, this year he managed to save some extra funds and Halloween was a huge thing in the Bolton household.  Perhaps it had to do with the fact, his mother was Supreme of her Coven and Cassidy happened to be the one to take after her in magic since both his twin and eldest brother were turned into werewolves.  With a cigarette hanging between his lips, Cassidy nodded.  “It has to be this one,” he commented.  Cassidy would have offered to help, but he did not have the upper body strength for it and well to be quite frank he didn’t want to help.  “Just need to get it in my parents’ car.  Do you think you can do it?”  He questioned with a raised brow.

            𝐈𝐅 𝐇𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 said he was socially ‘awkward’ she would never guess. On her opinion he seemed like a 'shy’ person but in the 'normal’ pattern, not exactly awkward. ❛ Well, you don’t look like a awkward duckling. You seems like a person that knows what you want. ❜ It was kind of compliment. This was nice, get to know people that could relate with her oddities. When she was younger she almost seems like normal, except people could tell there’s something off about her demeanor, and that her rage issues grow to worst over the years. ❛ I’m glad somebody understand. ❜ Adjusting her life as vampire was not being easy, especially when she unfortunately had no guidance and was abandoned by her own sire, that now is back in town trying to fix the errors from the past, and it was making her nuts. It wasn’t like she was willing to become a vampire, it was unwillingly, which made things far from worst to her. ❛ Are you only saying that to make MARKETING of your family’s business?! ❜ She couldn’t help but teased him, when he mentioned that pub is good for relaxing and nice. At the same time a little bit nervous in enter in a pub of 'werewolf’, or so she thought it was a pub for them. If Gray invited, she can assume might be open to all public. ❛ Do they serve Negroni there? ❜

“Uh thanks, I think.”  Truth of the matter was, Grayson was floating through life still unsure what he wanted.  There were a lot of options and that tended to overwhelm him, so he settled with a mining job and living in a trailer and doing his own thing.  And when he looked at the blonde before him, he could understand the rage issues.  Although, he seemed calm on the surface.  The werewolf was on the brink of losing his temper eventually, he suffered from PTSD and had been carrying a lot on his shoulders.  Somehow, she managed to get a small laugh from him, “well, you know how it is.  Gotta help out the family, but it is still a nice place to get a pint.  And yes, I can even make you the drink myself.”  With those words, he started to lead her back towards town where the pub was located.  Knowing the two could just run if they wanted, but it was nice to enjoy the night air with someone.

              𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 the werewolf was being so nice to her, or any person that acts too kindly towards her, always scares her a little. She grew up in an environment or nothing but pure hatred and violence, so, rudeness is what she is used to. ❛ I’m not used to have ‘some help’. ❜ Her tone was calmer, as she 'open quotes’ airy when she spoke about help. Now she feels pathetic, as she walked by his side. ❛ We are already walking… ❜ She pointed out, except she wasn’t walking towards no direction in specific. ❛ You’re not too annoying, and we could go for a drink in elsewhere. I’ll be quite frank with you, I’m not exactly too friendly at the first meeting, in my personal life… I’m a bit socially awkward. I’m sorry, if I come off as not nice.❜ The majority of friends she has, they’re from her past. She hardly has new friends and she never make effort to make a new one. Elsa thinks the numbers of friends she has is enough. ❛ Also, I’m passing through some stuff… I’m not accustomed to myself yet, my new form. ❜ She was referring at being vampire, she didn’t know why she was telling him all the things and she hardly knows Gray, but maybe is the calmness of his tone or his patience, or maybe both. Or the fact, she hated herself for come as rude to a person who doesn’t deserved it. In the truth is the life she had was hard to find a good person.

The man was not surprised to hear she was not the best at accepting help, nor was he shocked to hear that she was not the friendliest person upon first meeting.  Still, Grayson felt an obligation to try and do the right thing and nodded.  “It is alright, I am a bit of an awkward duckling myself.”  And that was the truth, in his youth he followed Dusk and Cassidy everywhere, always the third wheel.  In the military, he was mentored by Toni but still had a quirkiness about him.  “It takes some time to get used to, trust me.  I actually do understand.”  Nearly a year ago, his oldest brother accidentally scratched him in wolf form and now he was a werewolf with no magical powers running through his veins.  It was a rough transition and he still had difficulty accepting it.  “A drink does sound nice, we can go to my family’s pub.  It is a nice place and relaxing.”

As someone who also had a less than stellar past, it was almost easy for Elle to see that there was more going on that what he was saying. She couldn’t even exactly put it into words, but there was just something about him, and she felt a small pang of sympathy for him. “Elle.” She offered when he shared his name, motioning for him to follow her. It sounded like crystals and herbs probably weren’t going to help him, which Elle respected. “I can make you up something stronger.” Ducking back behind the counter, she pulled out the mortar and pestle, gathering a few things. “You can sit if you like.” She gestured to a stool that was nearby just for that purpose, for when they had to make up custom potions. 

“Nice to meet you Elle,” Grayson commented, keeping that friendly smile across his lips.  The werewolf followed her and smiled as she mentioned making something stronger.  “That would be nice, if you do not mind.”  He could go to several members of his family, even a few friends that dabbled in the arts of magic.  However, he did not want them to be concerned over his well being.  Grayson settled down in a chair and looked around the place where he used to buy things and do the same as her.  But with his magic gone, he now had to rely on other people for their help.  “How did you end up in Wolford?  If you don’t mind me asking, do you enjoy working here?”  He questioned, just trying to make small talk.

          𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 her gaze at him, and felt slightly bad for her own tongue. ❛ Nice to meet you, Gray. ❜ She said softly, as they walked outside feeling the wisp of wind hitting on her. She stared at him for a moment or two looking at him as if she had been defeated. ❛ It’s nothing against you. I’m just feeling a bit of edgy today. Besides the man was harassing me back there, was the final stroke I had to test my non-existent patience. ❜ And I don’t have control of my rage, that part was left unsaid. Even before being a daughter of ‘night’ she never was a person to be patient… Her temper was always explosive, except… She knew how to wait for her final objectives in life, the ’meta’ to accomplish. And yet, she is not fully conscious on how strong she is that now she is a vampire, sometimes she forgets which was the case of today.

There was a lot of information taking place as the woman spoke, Grayson merely nodded.  The man had a sister, two nieces and a beautiful mother.  If a woman felt she was being harassed, he felt the woman had every right to handle the situation in whatever manner she deemed fit, with some exceptions.  “Sorry you are a bit on edge, is there something I can do to help?”  Right now, he felt maybe a walk or something to calm down the vampire might be useful.  “We could go for a walk?  Or do something to take your mind off things,” he suggested in hopes of helping her.  “Sorry, I’m not the best at these kinds of things.  Not sure what the right thing to do is.  We could find another place and get a drink?  Anything you want, I can always leave you be too if I am annoying you.”

“Oh god no.” Win laughed knowing they’d have to somehow trick her into it. “She’d rather be dumped in a lake.” The next sentence had Win trying to use his every braincell to figure how how they could prove that. “More people in the bar? Liquid courage?” Win offered knowing it was a long shot but it was truly the only thing he could think of.

Win gave a nod at the thought of home. “Yeah, a bed sounds nice. But I don’t want you to forget that I worry about you big brother. You were always the coolest. So I want you to be happy.” Win mumbled almost feeling sleepy with the thought of a bed.

“I agree, probably best not to push Willow.”  The thought of her their dad agreeing to one of these speed dating things was not going over well.  Grayson could picture Jack Bolton, the man, the legend just shutting them down on the idea and reminding them where they ranked.  “Not sure man, perhaps we should first run it by Danny boy.  He usually knows how to handle pops.”

“Oh, I am sure a bed sounds great right about now for you.  Do you need help?”  It was a nice sentiment that his younger brother thought he was the coolest, he always assumed Daniel got that title.  “Thanks, you’re pretty cool too little brother.  Now, let’s get you home and rest.”

ELSA WAS in awe when Grayson was giving full attention to her ignoring the eyes on them. She didn’t have much of self control, and throughout the years this only got so worst. She never had anyone to guide her or giving orientations in her life. Maybe only her teachers of ice skating when she was a kid, and the other in her high school. She arched a brow at him as if he seems to disgust the situation that wasn’t so horrid per say, or so she thought. ❛ If you want, sure. ❜ A weak smile appeared on her face, before she leaving the bar with him. Once she stepped outside, a scowl remains on her delicate features, the night was super cold, and look up and above the starry sky. ❛ My name is Elsa, in case you’re wondering. ❜ She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. ❛ Do I have the right to know your name or should I have to eat clairvoyant shit? ❜  

Grateful, the woman agreed to step outside with him; he led her out towards the exit and was relieved when the fresh air hit him.  “Pleasure to meet you Elsa.”  Before he could even get out another sentence introducing himself, his eyes widened at her next words.  “Uh, well I am Grayson although everyone just calls me Gray.”  Unlike his twin brother, he didn’t mind when people shortened his name.  “Are you okay Miss?  You seem rather upset and even a bit heated towards me.  Is there anything I can do for you?”  He inquired, hoping to calm the situation completely.

celestin-archambeau​:

 Who: @grayson-bolton​ Where: Ambrosial Pizza

Celestin got to the pizza place early. He ran out of things to do at his flat, and short of recording another flow, he would have just sat there, feeling bored. But if he did record another flow, he’d have been late. So instead, Celestin just got to the pizza place early, and ordered a cup of tea. He got a few strange looks, but the accent seemed to quell most arguments and complaints. No one thought it was too strange for an English man wanting hot tea.

He looked up at the door every time that it opened, ready to wave to Gray when it was Gray that he saw coming in. One cup in, and finally, Celestin waved the other male over. “Ah, don’t mind me. I got here a bit early.”

At his arrival, Grayson looked to see Celestin already inside and with a cup of tea.  The US citizen never could understand how someone could drink hot tea over iced Southern sweet tea.  Grayson instinctively lifted his hand and waved at the other man as he walked over towards him.  “Oh good, I thought I was perhaps late or something.”  He smiled as he took the seat across from the other male.

“How are you?”  He asked, before turning his head to see the server come up and take his drink order.  “I’ll just have a coke, thanks.”  Grayson then returned his focus on the Brit.  “Any plans for the weekend?”

Elle was grateful for the job at Twilight Apothecary, a safe and genuine job compared to some of the ways she’d made money in the past. It offered her some stability, which she needed as she tried to transition to a new life in Wolford. How long she stayed, Elle wasn’t sure yet. But having a steady job was a starting point either way. The brunette was carrying a few things to put back on the shelves, noticing someone who seemed sort of lost in thought. She paused, which was when he glanced up, moving out of her way. “It’s fine,” She assured him, stepping around him to place the items back where they belonged, nodding at his question of if she worked there. “Sure. What kind of thing are you looking for?” There were different things with different strengths: crystals that helped create a calming sleep environment, to full on sleep tonics. 

Although Grayson put up a front and smiled for people, there was that sorrow in his eyes every time.  When the woman placed the items away, he felt slightly guilty for touching them in the first place.  “Not exactly sure, it has been awhile.”  He admitted and long ago, he used to just whip up his own concoction with his own spell to sleep.  But that was no longer useful and he needed someone to help him with the process or come up with a different solution.  “I really need something that will knock me out, I am a terrible sleeper.”  And he didn’t want to get in how he suffered from PTSD and the nightmares woke him at least once a week.  “By the way, I’m Gray.”

               IT WAS ONE OF these days where Elsa felt as if she woke up with the wrong foot. Naturally, she has a short-temper at times and for being impulsive, she does some shit sometimes. Like at the moment she just threw the man like a ball and forgot about her strength making a tiny accident happen, before somebody else noticed it was her who did that, the other male stepped right in front of her. If everything okay? This is the type of question that irritates her the most, she clenching her own fist as if she’s trying to smooth the rage within her, forcing a weak smile. ❛ It is. ❜ White little lies never hurt anyone. ❛ He vexed me, and had it coming. I feel much better now. ❜ Another half lie, she didn’t feel better, in fact she was desperate to stop the feeling within her this rage in which she does not know what to do with it. ❛  I think, it’s better for me to leave. ❜ Her Aussie accent slips on her tongue.

There was some nervousness in Grayson’s voice when he spoke to the vampire, he was not sure how to handle the situation.  Clearly, things went too far and someone was now hurt although it could be of his own doing.  “Glad you are doing well,” he responded, still trying to gauge the situation as people around them were staring.  As his blue eyes scanned the place, he nodded.  “Perhaps it is best we both get some fresh air, may I walk with you?”  Obviously, the woman can handle herself.  There was no denying that, but he felt it was best to leave as well since there were so many eyes on them and he wanted to confirm the blonde had good reason to do what she did.

            THERE WAS a guy nagging her neurons or the last of it. ❛ So, beautifulll... ❜ Elsa clearly wasn’t in the mood for small talk, especially for the man like the one, was trying to touch on her face but she swapped his hand off it, and took a small sip from her white wine, and he started to mockingly about her temper, the vampire didn’t think twice, she closed her eyes as if she wanted somebody to give her ‘strength’ and held the male taller than her by his collar-shirt and threw him in an easy motion away from her, making the guy fall on the table and break it. Shiiit, sometimes she forgets what she’s capable of when her short temper attacks. ❛ Oh God… ❜

The sight of the vampire caught Grayson by surprise as the man’s eyes grew large when he watched a man get thrown onto a table and break it.  The werewolf was unsure what to do or how to handle things, but he decided to do the gentlemanly thing to do and check in on the blonde.  Slowly approaching her, he smiled to ensure she knew he wasn’t there to bother her.  “Everything okay Miss?  Did he try to hurt you?”

“Oh, I’m sure mothers just want their children by their side. Its mostly because they get far too worried about their kids even if they’re adults and able to take care of themselves. It just seems natural, that a mother worries about their children for their entire life. It all comes from a place of love so I guess we all just have to accept that about our mothers.” While Bex had no desire to return to England she could also understand why her mother worried about her. Her oldest child had left the country years before and had never returned home. Yes, she kept in contact and yes, her parents were all too aware that the shapeshifter was more than capable of looking out for herself. But that didn’t stop Mama Archambeau from worrying. And sometimes she had to admit that it was nice to know that the woman still cared about her safety so much. “As much as people don’t want to think that their sister or daughter could possibly ever need to take care of themselves or need to defend themselves I think we all naturally hope the people we care about can do that if the need arises. Your mother probably has to be tough given her being in charge of a coven. And your sister has four brothers. It makes sense she would have become tough and learned to take care of herself. Must be a bit of a relief though to know she can take care of herself. It would mean you get to worry a little less about her, I’d assume.” Bex took a sip of her drink, shrugging very slightly. “Well, I have to be on the careful side anyway. Most of the world doesn’t know my kind exist yet and if I use too much force? Hard to keep it a secret,” the brunette teased.

“Exactly, it is nice though to know someone loves you that much and wants to watch out for you.”  Grayson smiled as he thought about the incredible woman that his mother was and just how much she has sacrificed over the years for her family.  The werewolf nodded in agreement, there was no denying her words and he too probably felt more protective over his sister than he did over his brothers.  It just seemed like a natural instinct for men to protect women, even if he knew women can handle themselves.  “Yeah, it is nice that she is tough, but I still can’t help but to worry over her.”  He nodded, “are there any rumblings if your folk plan to come out to the world?”  For Gray, he would have preferred to stay in the shadows, but werewolves came out soon after vampires and he was a warlock at the time.

grayson-bolton​:

Both of his siblings were bullheaded and Grayson knew exactly where that trait came from.  “I am not saying he is not responsible for his own actions and everything that happened.”  It did not matter though, Cassidy and Willow had some similarities.  Not only were they stubborn, but they both could not let the past go and move forward.  And unfortunately it was the rest of the family that had to tiptoe around both of them when the subject of each other came up.

Usually one to control his anger, he smacked his lips in frustration with his sister.  “Stop, just stop right there.  I am not on Cassidy’s side.  Just like I am not on your side either.  You both have issues with each other that need to be worked out.  Cassidy is my twin brother, you have no understanding or concept what that means because you do not have a twin.  We have a connection that runs deeper, but that does not mean I automatically take his side in all things.  And I am aware of things he has put our family through, but at what point do you forgive him?  You have a lot of anger and no one is saying it isn’t justified, but all that anger is only hurting you.  None of us can change him, he has to make that decision on his own.  But you can make it where he isn’t constantly getting under your skin.”  It never failed, Willow put him in the middle of Cassidy and her dispute just as did many people around town.  No one really understood the immense pressure it placed on Grayson.  And people wonder why he preferred to keep to himself, stay in his trailer and just mind his own business.  “What do you want from me Will?  I love you and I love him, you’re both my siblings.  I just don’t understand why you both can’t move past things.  Maybe it isn’t fair, but just be the better person.”

Grayson nodded at her words, it was a lot to handle.  Not only were they twins, but they were identical twins.  And as weird as it might sound, when people attacked Cassidy it felt as if they were attacking him as well.  “I’m sorry you two don’t get along,” he managed.  “And you have a point about Cassidy, he hasn’t verbally expressed he was sorry to most of us.  But, he has been working over three years to remain sober, provide for his kids.  And you know the saying.  Actions are louder than words.  Maybe this is his way of trying to do better.”

.

“Did you ever think I’m tired of being the bigger person, Gray? That I’ve been the bigger person for my entire life and it’s gotten me nothing in return?” The redhead sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose, not understanding at all why somehow despite how Cassidy has always acted towards the family and her specifically, despite how much she had been hurt she should just shrug it off and let it go, act like no matter what her brother does it shouldn’t matter to her. But that just wasn’t logical or possible. She was tired of being the bad guy when Cassidy was the cruel one; Cassidy was the one who treated her badly their whole lives; Cassidy was the one who did damage to the family as a whole.

“Just forget it,” the witch sighed after a moment, putting the fork she had been picking at the food she brought Gray onto the table. Despite what Gray may think the fact that he had a tendency to just tell her to back down every time was proof that he sided with his twin. Twin or not it wasn’t fair nor was it right for Cassidy to get a free pass all of the time- from literally everyone- but she was too tired arguing about it, being the bad guy for wanting Cassidy to actually take responsibility for all he put everyone through. And to be honest it felt like bullshit to her that it always made her the bad guy. Especially when she had always done so much for the brother who regarded her with such disdain. But somehow he was the one praised, coddled, sided with; he was someone never the one in the wrong. Sometimes she wondered why she even bothered.

Picking the fork back up the redhead leaned over and pressed a kiss to her brother’s cheek. “I’ll see you later, Gray.” Without so much as another word the redhead made her way over to the sink and deposited for the fork she had been eating with, preferring to head out than risk arguing with Gray more about their brother. Neither one would win in the end. “I’ll stop by again soon.”

Win gave Grayson a shrug. “Dunno, what about those speed dating things in the city? One of those?” He suggested and then got a stupid grin on his face. “Think dad would allow us to do one of those at the bar?” It was a long shot and to set up Willow the answer was probably no. But, with Win being drunk and trying to help his siblings he wasn’t thinking all that clearly.

“I shower.” Win grumbled knowing he probably took his hygiene a little more seriously than most people. “That’s good to know, you don’t just sniff me and assume I’m having sex.” If Win was a bit soberer he’d try to remember that but considering his state it basically went in one ear and out the other. “Maybe it should be existent. It’s important! Unless you’re asexual which is different, but everyone needs a release sometimes.”

“Do you honestly think Willow would do one of those speed dating services?”  He questioned curiously.  In his mind, Willow would murder them if they tried tricking her into such a thing.  “No clue, he might if we can prove it will generate money and all.”

Grayson nodded, “yeah I guess.  It would seem weird if I just assumed such things.”  The older Bolton sighed seeing his brother in such a state.  Grayson had no idea how to handle a drunk Windsor and he certainly was not sure what brought this on.  “You don’t have to worry about me Win, if something starts up that will be great but I am not looking into just getting laid.  C’mon, we should probably get you home.”

LOCATION: Twilight Apothecary WHO: @eloise-dougherty​

On rare occasions, Grayson could be found wandering Twilight Apothecary.  The place was a reminder of his powers from before.  A time when he would try to help wounded soldiers and heal them, but now he was no longer that warlock.  Instead, he was now a werewolf.  Grayson absently started touching some of the items, not thinking about it but just wanting to feel connected to the magic that could be created from it.  Suddenly it occurred to him there was someone else there.  “Oh sorry,” he commented, shaking his head.  “You work here right?”  He asked.  “I think I have seen you before, but it has been awhile since I last came in.  I was wondering if there was something to help with sleep?”

“Oh, I don’t know if my mum would agree to that one. She would probably love if I hopped onto a plane and flew home frequently.” She didn’t do that, of course. As a matter-of-fact she hadn’t traveled home at all since moving to the States and had no plans to do so in the future. Not because she hadn’t wanted to see her family but because she couldn’t imagine herself back there. As strange as it seemed, Wolford had become her home. Why would she want to go backwards in any way? “Hard-headed isn’t necessarily what I would say. It is more that men think women are weak. Even if they knew the women are supernatural they tend to think of them as weaker. Not all men, of course. Many of them are smart enough to know that some women can be just as dangerous as men if not more so.” At first the shapeshifter didn’t respond as to the question of whether she hurt them too badly. Instead she simply smiled and took a sip of her drink and then after a moment she shrugged just slightly. “Try not to. But sometimes you have to do what you have to do to get the job done. Never any lasting damage is done though.”

“I get that, my mom wanted me home a lot while I was overseas.  I think it is just the maternal thing.”  For Grayson, he just couldn’t.  He tried to remain in touch through other means, but when you’re over there in the sandbox it was hard, because what do you even say to your loved ones?  “I suppose that is true, I grew up with a powerful mother and a sister that probably can kick a lot of boy’s butts.  So I guess I never got like that, but then I tend to be protective over women so maybe I am.  I have no clue.  Hopefully I am not offending anyone.”  He said with a shrug.  Sometimes it was hard to know what was right and wrong when it came to such things.  “Yeah, I actually get that, but I am glad you never do any lasting damage.”  Unfortunately Grayson could not say the same for his time in the war.

kangtaeyeon​

even after grayson’s explanation on why people wanted to know about her, it made taeyeon want to speak even less about herself. paranoia and fear were two terrible things, but they were what had kept her alive all those months that she’d managed to stay away from her previous pack. especially from woo young. “ah… i’m just… not really comfortable with people talking about me, that’s all. i don’t really have that small town mentality, since i’ve never lived in one, so people even knowing of my existence is a bit–unsettling, i guess.” she smiled, rather apologetically. but hey, she’d been living in wolford for a couple of weeks and so far, she’d managed to run into two people from her past… would it be easier to just move somewhere bigger? “well, yeah… we all have bills to pay and are willing to work jobs ourselves from ten years ago wouldn’t even consider, right?” still she cocked her head to the side, trying to sound as sweet as she wanted her words to sound like. she could relate to that. working jobs one didn’t want to work. “even if it means not socializing and having trouble removing the grime from wherever it’s landed. ah… as for me, i work at red moon. i’m a bartender there. it’s a paying job, like you said. and the owner was nice enough to hire me without references, too.” because she wouldn’t have any to give. “what do people usually do here to have fun? any suggestions that won’t cost me much?”

Although the male could not fully comprehend since he grew up in a small town and returned to it, he got it at some point.  People were always in each other’s businesses and when he joined the military and traveled, it was odd that people didn’t automatically know him or care to know him.  “Sorry, it is something you’ll have to get used to at some point, I guess people get bored and curious is all.”  Grayson nodded, “yeah, I guess so.  I never thought I would end up in the mines, but I don’t have any real skills.”  He smiled, “I know that place.  It is where a lot of the wolves tend to drink.  Glad to hear Darren was kind enough to give you a job.”  He took a moment to think, “well there is the lake, woods, where a lot of people hangout and get into shenanigans.  Bowling alley, drive in theater, restaurants, bars, oh and a lot of people on the weekends might head out to Blue Falls. It is about forty-five minutes away, maybe an hour sometimes. And it has a lot of cool places.  Oh and there is this cool nerd store here also.”
