Aalina Kaplan. Nadia’s mind was racing now. Aalina Kaplan was dead. Or should be at least. She wasn’t well known, but Nadia knew full well who she was dealing with. She hadn’t been top of her hunter class for nothing, she knew where the hunters came from and why they were here. They existed because of how dangerous Aalina Kaplan was. Flicking her eyes down to the knife, it did have those initials on it. This slip in focus was all it took for her to be tossed against a tree, letting a grunt out as her back took the full force of it. “I assure you, I have no intention of seeing my old man anytime soon.” They would both be in hell though. Nathan for everything he’d done, and Nadia for being the weapon he had forced her to be. She’d had to kill too many times for comfort, and not every situation was black and white. She was better than him, she had to be better than him. To make up for all the blood on her hands. Steeling herself, she ran back towards Aalina, slashing with the knife quickly. Sure the vampire could move fast, but eventually she would stutter, slip up, and Nadia would take her out. “You look pretty good, for a dead bitch.”

“Sweetie, I can promise you that knife isn’t yours. While it may be in your hand it’s mine.” When Nadia put distance between them and asked who she really was Aalina let out a laugh. “Got me.” Giving her a cheesy finger gun as she let Nadia in on her little act. Figuring at this point it didn’t matter much anymore because who would even believe her, if they did she still got a win win out of it all because it ruined Gina and branded her as untrustworthy. “I’m the bitch who’s knife you have. Check the handle, it says AK, for Aalina Kaplan. And I’ll be taking it back.” Letting Nadia know she wasn’t leaving without her prized possession. After all it part of the reason she was who she was today, it had been used to spill her blood when she did dark magic. “Ugh, you just couldn’t let this play out could you? Welp, guess I’m getting a two for one today and going to kill you too.” Settling on the fact that either Nadia was dying or she was, she was going to make damn sure it wasn’t her. Rushing towards Nadia before she tossed the huntress back into a tree. “Say hello to Nathan for me when you see him in hell.”

Aalina rolled her eyes when Nadia stepped in front of her and she gave a sigh, of course this wasn’t going to be this easy. Her eyes fell to the red and black knife in Nadia’s hand though, it caught her attention. “Why does a pathetic hunter like you have my knife?” She asked with disgust. Taking a step back as she processed the situation in front of her. “I’m not going to just walk away, I’m going to tell Gina.” Trying to keep up her Serena act but her patience was wearing thin. “You see I get these impulses and sometimes welp… I fall off the wagon just like Ooo- was it Olivia? Or Odessa? Anyways like her head fell off. No worries though I’m going right now to turn myself in.” Letting Nadia know that she didn’t need to keep blocking her and she was gladly going to go turn Serena in to face her punishment. “So I’ll be on my way and just take this back as well.” Reaching out for the knife that once belonged to her. “I promise I’ll give you all the credit for busting me as well.”

Nadia’s eyebrows furrowed. “I don’t, I have my knife.” The knife in question was literally spelled with her blood, allowing her to recall it from a distance. Nothing Serena was saying made any sense. Even if she had become a ripper, she wouldn’t have the attitude the woman in front of her did. She drew her hand back, and took a step back putting some distance between herself and the woman in front of her. “Who are you, really? A bloodthirsty vampire does not have time for banter.” Her eyes narrowed and she felt her thighs tensing in preparation to move quickly. She got the feeling that once this fight actually started, the victor would be decided quickly. There was something dangerous about the vampire in front of her, but she couldn’t place it. “Besides, Gina will be here shortly. You don’t think I came without sending for backup do you?” A bluff, but one worth making seeing as the woman in front of her seemed intent on leaving.

Aalina had expected this to be so easy, but it everything had went off without a hitch. Serena was off hidden in a shed with her neck snapped, their clothes had been easily switched. This way she could finish her mission and go back to her little sister without any interruptions. Now she just had to finish the last part of her plan to frame Serena and all would be set. While she’d initially planned to take out a simple human they’d sent them away when the rain rolled in, just any old supernatural wouldn’t work anymore. No, that’d be too easy to talk off, she needed big and something to get everyone talking. So she set her sights on a Council Member. While the witch would have been the easiest to take out Richard still wasn’t done with his obnoxious ass plans so she turned her eyes to the mermaid. They were so cheerful and glee and had easily been willing to meet Serena in the woods to help set up her surprise for Max. She was certainly going to give Ophelia the surprise of her life. Checking for the hidden camera’s out of her eye and she made sure that she was front and center of two. This way Gina couldn’t try to sweep it under the rug, the video proof would be there of her precious Serena murdering a Council Member.

“Hey Serena,” She heard Ophelia greet. Giving a sweet smile as she pretended to be the dear Serena Kaplan. After a few minutes of small talk Aalina drew her fangs and sank them into the blonde. Letting them rip into the flesh while she tore at Ophelia. Trying to channel the ripper that Serena was, she’d helped Gina clean up so many scenes for their dear sweet sister. Just like that Ophelia’s head rolled from her body and into a puddle, while Aalina let stood there covered in blood and licking her fingers. Knowing that her mission was completed when she heard the banshee screams in the distance, she moved the hair out of her face. “Thanks for taking one for the team.” She whispered to Ophelia’s dead body, she started to retreat back towards camp when she came face to face with another Council Member, Nadia Long. “While I’d love to stick around and have this little chat about the blood on me I have to go.” She needed to get to Serena and switch out their clothes before she woke up or someone spotted either of them. “How about we talk about this later, okay? I’m sure Gina will want to be here and etc. Okay toodles.” Waving to the hunter as she went to walk past her.

With the weather changes, things were being moved around rapidly and their well laid out plans were not quite working. Still things were manageable, though Nadia decided not to get involved with the riot over barbeque. The humans were sent home, and the other leaders were out taking care of the camp, so that just left Nadia to watch the cameras they had set up all over the campgrounds. She wasn’t bothered by that fact, after all it was what she was trained for. Surveillance. She wanted to make sure that this event went smoothly, without anything horrible happening as had happened at every turn over the past year and a half. As if karma itself wanted her to suffer, as soon as that thought had crossed her mind, she watched in shock as Serena decapitated Ophelia. Her adrenaline rushing, Nadia grabbed a gun, a stake, and the knife Logan had given her and ran towards where she knew that camera was placed.

The nonchalance with which Serena was acting set of warning bells in Nadia’s head. She had just watched the woman murder someone and she was acting like it was no big deal. She drew her knife and stepped to block the vampire’s path once more. They might be fast, but she was ready. She hadn’t spent her whole life training to be outpaced merely by super speed. “I don’t think you’re going anywhere. What the fuck is even going on?” Some of what the other woman said was true though, Nadia couldn’t just kill her. Gina would want a trial, and to take care of things herself in the case of a guilty verdict. She would just have to subdue the woman. “Serena you killed someone, a Council Leader? How do you think you can just walk away from that?”

@darkesthourstarters· Where: Retreat campground When: 6:20am Sunday morning

He quickly padded out of the cabin, still in his boxer shorts and an unzipped hoodie, as he slipped quietly out the door, careful not to wake the other people sleeping in the cabin. The images of a funeral were still fresh in his head, flashes of them coming to his mind each time he closed his eyes. Swiping a still mostly full bottle of alcohol someone had abandoned the night before by the campfire, Lucian made his way to the waters edge where the canoes had been pushed off from a couple of days before. Flopping down to the ground, he could feel the water lap gently at the tips of his toes as he unscrewed the cap and took a long swig of the amber liquid, a welcome burn touching his throat. He could still see it, somber faces, dark suits, flowers. He could feel the tension, the sorrow around him for something that hadn’t happened yet. Objectively he knew the future could change, he had based his whole life around the idea that he could change his own, but this felt close, too close for comfort, and he had a sinking feeling that it wouldn’t change. Looking out over the water he was a little unnerved by not seeing a sunrise peeking above the horizon and the fog that settled on the campsite was more than a little ominous. Taking another drink, he heard something behind him, taking the bottle from his lips he turned his head slightly to the side to look back at the intruder to his pity party, a laughable attempt at charm on his face, unable to hide how weighted he was feeling. “Isn’t it a little early to be up?”

Nadia was patrolling the woods, the campsite boundaries, and winding up down at the water. Everything seemed in place, though the fog was adding a certain mood to the wooded area. She noticed Lucian sitting by the water from a ways away, and headed that direction to see what had brought him out of his cabin so early in the day. His face was less joking than she expected, and it caught the hunter off guard if she was being honest. “It isn’t early if you aren’t much of a sleeper.” She decided not to mention that it couldn’t be early if she hadn’t slept at all the previous night. It wasn’t even unusual for her, she just didn’t sleep much even on a great day. Four hours at most. She hummed thoughtfully before settling down to sit next to him, keeping her feet shy of the water. “It is a little early to be drinking, even for you. Something troubling you this morning?”

Stakeouts were one of Nadia’s least favorite missions. She didn’t like sitting around and waiting to take action. Everything in her being was screaming to move, or do something. Her mind gently reminded her that they needed to observe, that gathering intel would be most helpful in the long run. At the very least she didn’t have to sit alone. Dylan’s company was greatly appreciated as they got further and further into the night hours. “I know they said this was the place, but I don’t see any signs of rogue vamps. There certainly aren’t any vampires inside at the moment.” She sighed, her head thumping against the headrest in the car. “How long do you think it will be before one of them shows up?”

Artemis was feeling very generous today. She’d had a pretty great classes all day today. She’d even felt lighter and more centered and calm. It was what she truly needed today. It was what she needed this week if she was being honest. She mindful practices and a beer after a long day of classes was the perfect way to unwind. She felt so good in fact, when she saw someone take a seat next to her, she smiled. “I’m having myself a good night, so I want to share the wealth. I don’t mean for this to be a pickup line unless you’d like it to be, but can I buy you a drink?”

Nadia felt like she was making progress on the investigation finally. She didn’t have anything big yet, but with the upcoming camping trip they would finally be able to figure out if it was someone within their ranks who was betraying them or if it was an outside party entirely. She didn’t want to believe it was anyone in their midst, but she couldn’t be sure. She decided to grab a drink and relax this evening. “I certainly wouldn’t mind a drink.” She nodded at her fellow council member. “Pray tell, what makes it a good night?”

Hearing only the screaming would have been an understatement if Alex was being completely honest as he drained the rest of his cold coffee before he slid it over towards the waitress when they brought the other a cup. He didn’t need another cup but it wouldn’t hurt to try and keep sleep as far away from him as possible as he twisted his lips for a moment. “Let’s say that I lost my appetite,” he muttered, though it wasn’t much of one to begin with considering the amount of shit on his shoulders. Or the work that he had left behind. “I’ll still fight someone for it, but it’s bound to be stone cold by the time I get around to finishing off the plate. What are you doing here anyways? Not to make assumptions, but this doesn’t exactly seem like the type of place you’d be found in.”

Nadia snorted at the man’s last comment, unable to remain stoic when someone was being so blunt with her. “No, you’re quite right. I used to have a friend who liked it here. Something about breakfast foods I think. Just came out of habit I guess.” Nadia was neither a fan of breakfast food or diners, even the coffee was well below her standards. Still, the room felt like her friend was almost still with her. “I am curious to hear where you imagine I spend the bulk of my time though.”

Nia needed some coffee to kick start her day, but it would seem that it was a plan that most had as the place was full. She wanted to sit down and read over some files to get a head start on her work, but there were a lack of available tables. There were two. One that held the guy that had been winking at her and delivered a lame pickup line repeatedly as they waited in line. Had they not been in public, she would have used her telekinesis to trip him, and cause his hot coffee to spill right on him. She’d considered it heavily, but it would ruin the sweet image she was constructing for herself. There was another empty spot at a table someone else was occupying. “Would you mind if I had a seat here? The two options I have are here and there,” she gestured to the other table. “There I’d be inundated with awful pickup lines and winks that look more like blinking. I fear one of the two of us at that table would end up wearing our coffee and it wouldn’t be me. Save me from acts of violence, please?” she asked, almost pleadingly.

Lately Nadia’s nightmares had been worse and worse. She felt like she had made some progress in this investigation, but it still wasn’t anything concrete. Still, she pushed everything down, remaining a strong face for the hunters in her agency and the other supernaturals who looked at her as a force of order. A good leader didn’t worry anyone else. That being said, it meant she was spending more time than usual at the coffee shop, needing to refuel. The hunter wasn’t even someone who slept much on a good day, but she’d been running on about an hour of sleep for the past three nights. “Yeah, by all means sit down. Although I think if he ended up covered in coffee it wouldn’t be the world’s biggest loss.” She shot the man a withering stare, unflinching until he turned away. “Men can be real pains sometimes.”

Sometimes french came easier to him than english, it was all he spoke when he was alone with his mother, and he spoke it like a native. “Or maybe it’s that cocky look on your face, I reckon you have a pretty solid edge on me.” He replied. He knew he could have made a joke about him knowing the future, but didn’t want to admit to his power, didn’t even want to think about it, he was happy in this happy space where as far as he was aware, this woman had no idea who he was. “Good cause it’s not even a drunk thing, it’s just going to start soon and I don’t want you to be uncomfortable. I mean I don’t have a choice in the flirting, if anything it’s your fault.” He said, a cheeky smile gracing his lips.

Nadia tipped back her glass, finishing the contents and casting a pensive glance towards Lucian. Fuck it, if this was the kind of night it was, then this was the kind of night it was. The familiar cocky look spread across her face as she hopped up onto the bar and swung her legs around to face him. The blonde ran her fingers through her hair, sighing before pulling him to stand between her legs. “You talk too much.” She pulled him down for a kiss, the ghost of a grin on her lips. “In my opinion, actions speak louder than words.”

“Yeah well, not many realize it when they do either,” he commented as he glanced up from his half touched plate of food before he set down his fork with the lack of hunger. Alex knew that he needed to eat something after the day that he’d been through but it wasn’t happening any time soon. “Death is everywhere, all the time. It’s just a matter of ignoring it as much as possible until duty calls.” Or so he believed for the time being, since he could handle it when he was on the job but it was a hell of a lot harder when he was trying to have a meal and the screams hit the back of his head as if they were pounding nails into his skull. Then there were the nightmares. “So yeah, been a real fun time around here lately.”

Nadia shrugged. She’d gotten used to the hunter abilities that let her know what species everyone around her was. Not all hunters had seen a banshee before, but they should still be able to recognize one at a table right in front of them. “Death is a part of life I suppose.” She turned to see the waitress drop off her coffee and she took an appreciative sip. “I bet it has. Where I get mountains of paperwork and investigations, you get the screaming.” If she had her way there would be significantly less dying in the area, but New York was full of death even on a good day. That was just the risk of a high population. “You know for someone who threatened to bite my hand off, I imagined you’d eat a bit more.”

Seeing Nadia give the burrito her approval, he grinned. “A foodgasm already? Damn!” Whether it was due to her finally getting something to eat, or the burrito’s taste Dylan was looking forward to digging into his own meal. “My inner food snob will reserve judgement for afterwards,” he joked as he unwrapped his grilled chicken sandwich. In his mind he kept a tally going; full points went to the presentation and smell, thereafter he’d see if this food truck has gained a new customer or not. “What do you think of the latest rookies?” his mind had drifted to work while he ate. Dylan really enjoyed training the rookies, he’d get a kick out of messing with them, especially the ones that took themselves way too seriously. Dylan was always glad to give them their much needed dose of humility. “There’s potential as always, and we’ll need more numbers going forward, things are getting weirder around here,” and the potion party and strange murders were clear indicators.

Nadia simply rolled her eyes, deciding not to comment about the foodgasm comment. It was good food, and she had worked up a real appetite. “Oh of course, I forgot I was eating with a bona fide food critic.” Nadia wasn’t quite so critical, though she wouldn’t eat just anything either. The idea of fast food made her shudder, and she still didn’t like things to be overly sweet. “They’re doing alright. I’m not sure that they all have the stomach for some of the crazy things that are going down these days, but no one has chickened out yet.” He was right about the numbers, but it wasn’t like there was a great solution for that. Though Nadia had graduated from the hunter academy early herself, it wasn’t something that she was keen to do for others. After all, few hunters began their training as a child. She didn’t want anyone going into the field underprepared. “I think that I’m going to spend more time with this class of rookies if I can, giving them challenges so that they shape up more quickly.”

With Nadia wrapping her arms around him, he did the same to her. He hated to see Nadia in this state. “We don’t have to go out then,” Hudson was here to give her what she needed. “We can stay here,” he suggested, “or go back to my place and have a few drinks. But I know one of us has a bottle laying around.” He gave her a weak smile, “you are kick ass, you know that?” He pressed his lips into her hair for a moment, “You are allowed to take breaks from being that badass though.”

She was glad that they could stay in, that she didn’t need to put back on the mask that she presented where she could handle anything. “Let’s just go up to my place, that way I don’t have to leave the building.” It was definitely convenient living in the penthouse of the agency building. The commute to work was pretty short. “I’m worried if I take a break that someone else will die as a result.” She shivered, stepping back and heading towards the elevator. “I want to watch a movie, one of those ridiculously bad ones that you like.”

Logan sighed at Nadia’s answer, she was hoping that by now they’d have more to go off of and at least some idea if this was all connected or not. “I get that, but if it had something to do with the killings why not attack us? We were all in one contained area.” They could have easily took out all of the leaders given the fact they were all huddled in the same location. “I saw a picture of the rouge wolf. Finn said he wasn’t in her pack, which does make sense. The why of it all is what’s bothering me.” She admitted, she raked a hand threw her long blonde hair. “I mean what did any of this accomplish? Burning down a hotel? Giving people some trauma? Plus why knock me out and toss me in a closet?” She rambled on, she tried to put the pieces together in her head, but nothing quite fit. “I feel like I’m in the middle of a quiz and it’s a whole different language.” Sighing with frustration. “None of this adds up at all.”

Nadia considered what Logan was saying. She made some excellent points. “You’re not entirely wrong, but I have a running theory right now if you’d like to hear it.” She had been searching for motivation behind the attacks for a while now, and she was starting to piece things together, slowly, in sort of a potential explanation. “I’m not saying that the Council members aren’t targets, but I don’t think we’re the priority anymore. It looks like whoever is behind all this is looking to create chaos, to stir up fear and distrust among us. They took out the established Council members, leaving the rest of us to scramble to put things back together and keep everything running smoothly. Why take us out when we haven’t been able to fix anything yet?” It was a scary idea, one that troubled Nadia because it insinuated that she wasn’t doing a good job, but in light of the fact that a bunch of potion witches had just been murdered she felt that it was a fair statement. “That being said we can’t eliminate the idea that it’s someone who has a particular issue with you. Do you have any ideas of who would want to disrupt your leadership as supreme? We can definitely investigate down those alleys.”

“Funny, cause you’re literally acting like one right now.” She pointed out to her with a smug grin. Knowing that Nadia actually cared about her unlike Nathan was heart warming, but she preferred to handle things on her own schedule. Right now, the schedule didn’t call for sleep, it called for everything but that. Smiling when Nadia sat down and enjoyed her coffee with her. “I see. Are you actually sleeping or having nightmares too? I know a lot of the agents are still reeling from everything that happened at the party. We should maybe look into bringing in an onsite counselor for even a few sessions, it might be good for some to actually talk about what they saw or what they did.”

Nadia sighed. Charlie had gotten accustomed to her father, there was no sense in trying to scare her into doing what was good for her. Unfortunate considering that it was a combination of intimidation and the weird respect that many of the young hunters had for her that helped her keep the agency in line. She kept her face neutral as the other woman asked about nightmares. There hadn’t really been a huge increase in them, but that wasn’t saying much for someone who was regularly haunted by visions of her father and of the people she’d killed or the people she’d failed to save. “I’m sleeping as much as I always do, but you’re right that we should probably bring someone in.” She was worried about all of the hunters, but especially Hudson. He’d been taking care of her, but she wanted to make sure he was alright in the aftermath too. “I’ll look into who we’ve got on contract and get a few counselors in.”

“If you’re going to stop and stare, you might as well sit down too.” Whether they meant to stop by his seat or not, Alex wasn’t in the mood to have the feeling of anyone breathing down his neck. Or watching him dig into the first meal in over twenty four hours. It wasn’t going to be pretty, not when coffee had been the only thing in his stomach up until this point and it hadn’t been quiet either by the time that he walked out of the precinct. “Though I can’t promise that I won’t bite if you try to get between me and my food,” he added with a bit of a rough chuckle.

Nadia blinked, having momentarily zoned off into her own world, but the man’s voice bringing her back to the present. She slid into the seat across from him. “Sorry, not every day you run into a banshee in a diner.” She nodded as he made vague threats about his food. “While that might be entertaining, to see if you could manage to catch me, I’ve no intention of stopping your meal.” She flagged the waitress down, merely ordering herself a coffee. “You must have a real shit time around here, what with people dying left and right.”

“I was raised to get drunk in style.” He joked, though it hadn’t really be a choice in a house where every liquor he could steal from his mother was top shelf. “A ta santé.” He replied, raising his own glass to the woman before him. “Why do I have a feeling that that would be a competition I would lose?” He asked with an easy smile, as he leaned back against the bar. There had always been a certain comfort in an empty bar, but that comfort was offset by the stress of knowing this was his. “But alright, I’ll play along, but I’ll give you my own warning, I will flirt with you.”

Nadia hadn’t been allowed alcohol until it was legal. Her father was a stickler for some rules it had turned out, but she’d become a frequent drinker since her 21st. She dared not sneak drinks before then, the backlash would have been much worse than the payoff for such a discretion. Nadia grinned at the use of the French expression. It was one of the many languages her father had insisted she learn during her hunter training. “I’d imagine it’s because you have a good sense of the truth, because you will lose.” He seemed fit enough, but without supernatural strength Nadia was a tough one to beat. She’d only been training her strength for... her entire life. When Lucian presented his counter-warning she gave him an appraising look, a grin teasing at the edge of her lips. “I think I’m alright with that outcome.”
