Far Cry Thread #15: Allya, John, and more!

//Up next Allya, John and a lot of characters

//This was the we plotted this to focus on Johns crash and it turned into poor Allya oh my goodness someone come white knight for her Oooooo aaaaaahhh

 

“Careful, keep having that much fun and it might actually start being good for your health.” Allya smirked over at John. The man had actually smiled at her, after spending time together and she just had to lightly tease him about it. He didn't seem the one to have much fun and it was a little sad. John was a easy going person, she thought, and he deserved to unwind a little. So, she had a few plans in mind today, if he was game and smirked back over at him. "Fun doesn't have to end though!"

 

"Ha! You're funny! I'm always having fun .... Mostly" He replied as he cast her a bit of an eyebrow waggle from where he was currently lugging out the large grill from the small shed behind the house. Giving it another hard heave the wheels finally broke free from the grass they were stuck to and he was soon pulling it up onto the patio damn near looking like a struggling draft horse.

Or more like a pony considering he was only five seven and a half and the grill was at least four and half feet off the ground and MASSIVE. "I GOT IT!!" He mused with a wicked grin finally coming to a stop and letting one side basically slam to the ground. That had been way more work than it should have been honestly.... He really should have just agreed to let Allya help. But he preferred not feeling like he'd lost his dick.

 

"You know, if you wanted help, I DID offer." She giggled, teasing him again as she came to stand beside John. "But good job! You won a fight with the incredible, deadly grill!" She laughed and leaned over to lightly kiss his cheek. "Proud of you." She snickered and shook her head. "So, what are we cooking on this bad boy? Looks like it could barbecue up a dragon!" She smirked and handed him his drink which she had been holding as she watched him all but wrestle the grill into submission.

"Oh, but once we are done here...I got plans too. You and me. You are going to love it. Trust me." She winked and smirked wickedly at him. This could turn out to be a fun day after all.

 

Taking the drink from Allya, he cast her a bit of a pouty frown before his eyes went back to the grill. Taking a few chugs he moved to open it and made a face. Damn, had he not cleaned it last time? No actually Joseph had been in charge of putting it away last weekend. Fucker! "Got a few things in the deep freeze, little bit of everything. But if we need to sneak away let me know.... I'll throw a buddy of mine that's coming on cooking duty" He teased her with a wink as he moved to set his drink on the picnic table. He'd told her some but he'd all but woken up to Faith reminding him in was grill day. Every weekend, at the ranch, their entire group. She'd also thankfully gotten the food to cook gathered up so their was plenty to get started on. Otherwise he'd have completely spaced it and they'd have been fucked.

 

Seeing the state of the grill, Allya chuckled and went to move up beside John, smirking over at him. "You've done enough for right now. Go rest, or prep the meat, or get us more drinks...I got this!" She giggled and cracked her knuckles and after a few moments of looking the grill over, found the scraper and going into the kitchen and cutting a lemon in half, she squeezed its juices over the bars of the grill before she attacked it with vigor with the scraper. Little known fact, Lemon juice will clean anything from an encrusted barbecue grill to a flat surfaced hamburger and egg cooking grill. It took some time, and two more lemons, but once she was done, it was cleaner then it probably had bene in years. That thought made her giggle as she checked it over again, figuring out how to fire it up and set the bars to heating, ready for whatever John wanted to throw on it.

 

"Hey! Hey! Look at you! Thanks gorgeous" He mused with a playful smirk. Moving to playfully smack her ass as he passed and cast her a wink as he moved to head past and for the door into the back of the garage area. Pulling out his phone to check the time he let out a sigh. Damn it! That meant everyone should be showing up soon. Though he did spot two of his guards near the far trees bordering the landing strip out of the corner of his eye so slowing he whistled and nodded. "No I was whistling at the birds! Yes you two! Come give me a hand with this crap!" He called slightly rolling his eyes at the confused looks they'd given him. Those two, shit what were their names. They'd only been working shifts here for a couple of days and had come over from Faiths area. One had once been ok duty at the prison and the other was new.

Oh well they'd start to figure out being on the ranch was a lot more than just standing around looking scary with a gun. As much as it did help. Heading into the garage he opened the cooler and began pulling out the different meat he needed to get prepped and was soon handing it to the two other guys to help carry inside.

Meanwhile a car pulled up out front. Faith, of course as usual I'm her frilly white sun dress and no shoes. Seems to be as signature as Joseph hardly ever putting on a shirt or John and his shades rarely leaving the top of his head.

Skipping to the back of the SUV she was soon pulling out some plates and Tupper's with sides she'd made and handing them to a girl who'd rode along with her to carry. "Oh goodness no.... Did we forget the brownies! Haven!? Did we!!??" She stammered in a panic as she turned to look at the other girl with this sort of jaw dropping look on her face.

 

Allya let out a snicker at John's teasings and yelped cutely when he smacked her ass. She had been thinking of doing the same to him, to be funny, but refrained. "Sillies." She said mostly to herself as she got the grill going and set the bars to heating. Before she took a few small pieces of meat she had managed to snag from the guys John had called over, that wouldn't be missed, to season the grill. Couldn't have the food stick to it could they?

Looking up as a SUV pulled up, She smiled when she saw Faith pull up and went to greet her. Seeing her panic for a moment though, made her pause when she happened to peek in the back and noticed a pan that laid hidden behind a cooler. "Faith? I think the brownies are in the back." She smiled, turning to greet the other woman who had come with her. "Hi there, I am Allya. Need a hand with anything?"

This was going to be a fun day, she was sure. She would be able to meet everyone and her brother Armand and Alfred would be there too. She just wished she knew where Rheagal was...it wasn't complete without him.

//Don't know if he had been brought back or not. Lol

 

"Oh!? Oh my goodness silly me!" Faith giggled casting a small smile at Allya before she quickly scurried for the back of the vehicle and moved to unlock the trunk. Meanwhile Haven stood arms a bit full of plates and with her usual stoned look in her eyes cast the stranger and shrug. She'd not met Allya in person before and as usual Haven wasn't one to normally care about much of anything but what she and Faith had going on. They'd been friends for as long as either could remember. Brought into the fold around the same time as well. "Sure..." She muttered before turning to start for the front glass doors of the large main house.

"Ok I got them! Oh my goodness where are the damn men when you nee.... Oh goody! Jacob!" She crowd happily as her eyes spotted a familiar camo wrapped truck with a massive artillery gun on top. Of course he wasn't alone and another ten trucks weren't far behind him. Spotting him and Staci through the window of the first truck she waived and gestured towards the back of her suburban then turned back still carrying the brownies and headed for the house as usual nearly skipping.

 

Allya wasn't sure what to think of the new woman, as she didn't seem all that friendly; but she didn't let it bother her for long and bent down to grab some more plates and silverware to help out. Turning when she heard Jacob's name, her smile brightened a bit as she nodded towards both him and Staci as they pulled up. She still wondered about that boy. Why did he act the way he did around her? Oh well...she'd worry about all that later. Today was for fun!

Heading inside to drop the rest of the plates and things she had picked up off, she went back out to the grill and smirked as she watched John cooking. Picking up a beer, she popped the top off and brought it over to him, giving him a small smile. "Thirsty? Need any help?"

 

Out back Sam had hooked up some speakers so they had music blaring and headed back to the edge of the slope that overlooked the river behind the house where he again stood with Shawn. Guns in hand keeping an eye on the tree line and chatting. This left John mostly to his own devices and he had his phone out as several of the steaks were cooking and really he wasn't paying attention until Allya neared and spoke. He'd looked a bit lost in thought and frustrated. However hearing her he perked up a bit and cracked a small smile reaching to take the beer from her. "Thanks baby girl" He flirted with a cheeky smile. Moving to slip his phone away his eyes moved back to the fire and he shook his head "Nah gorgeous. Not at the moment. Was that's Faiths annoying giddiness I heard from the front?" He asked a bit smartly raising an eyebrow back towards her as he looked over to where she was standing curiously.

 

"Yep, she brought brownies." Allya chuckled softly at John's flirtiness and found that she rather liked it. The nickname was enduring to say the least. He could call her whatever he wanted in that tone, and she'd still probably think it cute. Though she noticed he had seemed a bit preoccupied when she had first came over. "You alright? You seemed a bit far away for a moment there." She asked, tilting her head a bit.

Though, she was distracted a second when she heard an engine she knew well pulling up nearby and her smile was radiant as she saw both Armand and Alfred step out of their newly fixed vehicle. She rushed over to greet them, hugging first one and then the other. "Where have you both been!?" She clamored, just so happy to see them.

"Down near the church and at the house Faith is letting us stay at." Armand smirked, hugging his sister gently. "It's really beautiful up there. You should come home, see it sometime." He allowed his eyes to flit around and they locked first on John, and then flited over to Jacob's truck and narrowed slightly. "But I see you have kept yourself busy up here." |

"Oh hush, bro. It's more homey up here for me." She turned to Alfred and hugged him too, though he smiled and nodded at her.

'You safe, that's all that matters.' The man signed with a nod. 'Pretty place though. Food smells good to. Have fun today.' He turned and walked off, knowing that with everyone around, Armand and Allya would be safe, though he would still keep an eye out.

It was so nice to see her brother again, but the absence of Rheagal was to keenly felt between the both of them and they each looked at each other like they knew the other was thinking about their lost sibling.

 

"Yeah um... Just stupid crap" John muttered moving to take a swig of his beer. Honestly he was pretty thankful when he spotted the vehicle through the archway and the familiar faces stepping out of it. They immediately drew Allya's attention and he hadn't had to explain anything about his crazed ex wife he wanted to chop into tiny little pieces. The very thought of doing that brought a smirk to his face as he turned back to the grill to check the meat. That didn't help either. Moving to throw another steak on and seeing the blood pooling in the paper. Fuck if she decided to come down here and keep this up like she could take anything he'd half a mind to turn her into a steak. Feed her to the shits that kept denying what they were trying to do and causing issues. Fuck what was wrong with him. Even Jacob would probably find his ideas disturbing and that man HAD eaten human. Not that he'd wanted to but still....

Jacob, he could hear the others smooth sounding voice from where he stood and perked up a bit seeing his older brother coming out the back door of the house looking annoyed. "Well maybe if you didn't ask anyone to come to these things you wouldn't have to bitch and moan" Jacob was commenting. Likely to Faith who was behind him still in the kitchen look a bit tense.

"I'm not.... You know what I'll just call Joseph. I don't even know why I try with you Jacob! Goodness!" The female nearly sounded like she wanted to cry. Like he'd just completely ruined her day. Which maybe he had seeing as Faith seemed to care more about these things then anyone. Arm moving over Staci's shoulders as the two walked across the grassy area Jacob whispered something to the shorter male which actually nearly made Stack smirk. Not a common site but he found Jacobs bullying Faith funny. Which it was rare he found Jacobs bullying amusing but Faith he also found a bit unnerving at times.

"You know one of these days she's gonna end up crying to Joseph" John pointed out as the two neared and Staci moved sit at one of the tables placing his chin on his hand and Jacob moved to lean on the opposite side of it with his ass on the table top and one foot on the seat. "Mmm I'm sure she will. And Joseph will spit a bunch of lecturing bullshit and move on. If even that... As if he even cares" Jacob scoffed in response glancing towards where Allya's companions had arrived. "Oh look.... It's my best friend" He remarked sarcastically.

"Please don't start shit on my lawn" John smarted immediately rolling his eyes as he shook his head. Fucking Jacob and his hate for Alfred. Another reason he'd tried to keep them all in the valley other than Allya's need to go poking around.

 

Alfred had heard Jacob's sparky comment and smirked. Looking right over at the man, the barest hint of a smile crossed his face as he raised his hand to wave in a seemingly friendly way...only to have his thumb and first finger to come together to form a circle with the other three fingers pointing out and down as he dropped his hand. Making the sign almost vehemently at the other male, all the while still keeping his smile.

Allya and Armand burst into near hysterics at the motion. For all their years, they had NEVER known Alfred to make a joke. Even though he had meant what he signed, he did so in a joking way and that made each one nearly fall over in laughter.

Allya bit her lip hard cause she knew Jacob might not find it funny if he knew what that sign meant. But still it was hilarious! How many people could call Jacob an asshole and get away with it?

 

Jacob stared in utter confusion. Seriously not getting why they were suddenly busting up laughing other than he could only assume the guy was being offensive. For a moment he simply had this rather unamused look written on his face as he stared but then he just sort of huffed and looked pouty. 'Fucking shit talker' he thought moodily walking over to the ice chest that was out. Grabbing out a couple of beers he soon walked over and sat back on the table this time all the way with both feet on the bench. Pulling his knife and cracking open the first beer he handed it to Staci then proceeded to open the next, the whole while casting sneery looks towards Alfred in irritation. Why was he even here? He and Armand had hardly been around for shit other than the few times they'd been spotted out looking for Rheagal.

"Joohhnnnn!! Your power just went out! I can't hear you the smokies!" Faiths voice suddenly came from the back door. Damn, had she woken UP whiney this morning?! John immediately took a breath holding back the urge to tell her to figure it the fuck out herself. That voice she did just grinded his gears SO MUCH!!! "John. Please shut her up" Jacob groaned only seconds later eyes rolling before he moved to take a swig of his drink. "Why the fuck do ... You know what FINE! I'll go fucking CHECK!!!!!!" He nearly shouted at Faith in an irritable tone as he moved to closed the grill and turned to start for the side of the house. Jacob and his uselessness, Faith and her god damn bossiness, oh and just wait! Any minute Joseph would get here and take the cake by all of that combined with telling him how to fucking breath. He was rather suddenly irritated and definitely looking forward to an out as soon as they finished eating. He could only handle all of them for SO long.

Meanwhile back at the table Staci had gone from checking out Jacob, to a bit shocked when he'd handed him the beer. Thank fuck the other was actually in a pleasant mood for once. Yes, this was pleasant Jacob. So long as he seemed to not want to go after him but then that could also change on the fly. For now though he seemed content to mad dog Armand and help set off John. Speaking of crazy. John had a tendency to throw actual tantrums and just by the way he was suddenly acting Staci could tell he was nearly there already. Poor Faith seemed to be the subject of both of their anger and why? Over a Barbeque? Seemed petty in comparison to her other offenses but then that was just his opinion. Moving to place his chin on his hand he stared after John for a moment and shook his head. "Does everyone just need a tampon or something?" He muttered without even thinking. Shit... A moment later he bit his own tongue for that joke however again was pleasantly surprised when Jacob was suddenly stifling a snigger. "If I have to hear Faith whine bout one more goddamn thing Peaches yeah .. bout to send you for a box" he remarked back smartly.

 

Allya couldn't help it. it was just to funny! The way Jacob and Alfred played off of each other, made her snicker though she tried hard not to. She shook her head though, at the antics of the others. Poor John. She would deff have to get him to sneak away with her later once all this was pretty much a wrap.

She had smirked over at Alfred as he went to walk off, chuckling softly to himself but it was when she looked at Armand, did her smile slowly fade from her face.

'Fucking, that was awesome!' he snickered to himself. 'Jacob looked so confused.'

Wait! Armand didn't say that out loud! She knew cause she was standing right beside him! Looking quickly over at Staci, she could swear she heard him thinking something about how nice Jacob was being today and her eyes nearly bugged. His teasing all but confirmed it and Jacob joking back....No, no, no! What was happening!?

"Heye...Allya? You alright?" Armand actually caught the look his sibling had and asked in concern.

Turning, she schooled her face to neutral and nodded. "Yea. Never better. Why?" She was a terrible liar and it showed.

 

"We're here"

Joseph announced moving his hand to reach and gently touch Rheagal’s knee and shake him awake where he'd been laying in the back seat. They'd left earlier that morning if course but unfortunately they'd been held up. Far more than once firstly due to a wreck being cleared off the road and then Faith had called and asked them to make a run into Missoula for drinks. Which they of course had whether Rheagal had been over joyed about it or not. Finally though, with Lindsey one of Faiths girls driving and Joseph sitting shot gun they were pulling up just outside of John's large cabin. Next to what was now several other cars and the smell of food was already wafting from somewhere near the back of the house.

"You know.... I think they beat us. That looks like what they've been driving" He pointed out a bit optimistically spotting vehicle Alfred had shown up in parked not far away. With that he moved to step from the car and shut the door behind him. Then very slowly he moved to the back as their driver pooped the trunk and moved to grab two of the large cases of beer under each arm.

 

Rheagal startled a bit at being shaken gently from where he had been dozing in the back of the car. He blinked a few moments before he slid out of the car and stretched a bit, fully bringing himself into wakefulness. Hearing Joseph's words, however, made him perk up even more as he turned and saw their car already parked. His siblings...Alfred...were here?

Moving from where he stood, he walked slowly into the crowd, looking about, listening till he heard it. The sounds of both their voices! He paused as he came around a building and saw both standing just a ways off.

----------

Allya had been trying to get Armand to stop pestering her when she caught movement from nearby that drew her attention and when she turned to look, she froze. Lifting a hand to swat at Armand's shoulder, she nodded and her smile grew brighter as she realized, yes! She was seeing who she thought she was!

"Rheagal!!" She all but shouted his name as she headed in his direction, till she was dashing towards him and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly. "Rheagal! It's really you! Where have you been? Are you alright? So good to see you!!"

Armand was quick to follow suit and joined them, adding his crushing weight into the pile as he hugged both of his siblings. Chattering away as Rheagal chuckled softly and tried to answer each of their questions.

"Yes, yes, Allya, I am fine. Where? I don't really know but Joseph and Faith found me. Honestly, I'm alright. I missed you both too....but you're squishing me."

 

Spotting Rheagal Jacobs brow furrowed a bit and drifted for a moment towards where Joseph was approaching and soon dropping the cases next to the cooler. "See you found him" He remarked a bit dryly as his eyes shifted back over to the four in thought for a moment. Was Joseph STUPID!? Bringing THAT here!! Among all their people again!? Already the house was full of Faith and her girls talking, several of the guys had gathered nearby at the other group of tables, some of their guys had even gone down to take the boats out to fish and all of their family was there. Yet Joseph thought it wise to just bring Rheagal right back into the mix of things like nothing bad happened!?

"Faith did actually... He didn't get very far actually. He's, calmed. He'll be alright" Joseph replied as he sensed the look almost immediately when his eyes met Jacobs. His brother may have been both envious of catching Rheagal’s and non trusting of the kid. However that they'd simply have to disagree on for now. Joseph wasn't going to allow Jacob to twist and warp at the guy unless it came to it. That was his final call for now.

"Calmed? Until whe..??" Jacob whispered once Joseph had neared and moved to sit with him on top of the table. However Joseph quickly shushed him. "Enough, I've spoken with him. Now you all just need to trust me like you always do. If something happens I'll take full responsibility for it but for now it won't. Now please Jacob...." Joseph cast the other an almost pleasing look to drop the topic.

Jacob let out huff and simply moved to take a swig of his beer. Eyes drifting back over to watch Rheagal suspiciously again for the moment. However then out came JOHN.

Immediately the other stopped in his tracks and he seemed to momentarily shoot a glare at the back of Rheagal’s head. However taking a slow breath he moved to pass a small smile drifting across his features "Rheagal, nice to see you again" He greeted all to kindly before making his way back over to the grill where he moved to pop it back open and flip the meat again. "Power lines down. Completely.... Think you can call your guy Jacob. Or am I fucked?" He finally stated allowed his eyes drifting over to look to Jacob and Joseph with a rather fallen expression. Of all fucking things right now and honestly he was currently tossing around how it had even happened? Had one of his guys landed the plane like a jack ass? But then... It had JUST went out so?

"Shit... Yeah might be able to get him down here by tomorrow" Jacob replied his brow somewhat furrowing in thought at hearing what the actual problem was. Strange. To strange....

 

Rheagal had managed to detangle himself from Armand and Allya, only to have Alfred come up from behind him and in a display of emotion seen so rarely on the man, hugged him tightly and patted his back a few times before pulling back and slapping his shoulders. Looking him over, Alfred nodded, smirked and ruffled Rheagal's hair, which made him chuckle. "Yea, yea. I missed you to."

Though he noted John's reaction, he didn't say anything and simply nodded at the man. "Hello John. Thank you. It is nice to see you too. Thanks, for the help....and all." He nodded towards where their car sat, giving an actual smile instead of being a dick about it. He seemed a bit calmer, and Allya snickered to herself, thinking about it. That was, until she heard his thoughts too. They were a bit scattered, but they weren't actually hostile. That was...weird. Wasn't it?

Shrugging, she moved back to settle back on the picnic table, till her eyes drifted slowly over to Jacob. She heard him, again, almost as if he had shouted at her. Rheagal wasn't a 'THAT', and she gave him a small look that said basically 'I know', before looking away and trying not to listen to his internal rantings about her brother. Trying not to listen at all as things were starting to get a bit...loud inside her head and she didn't know why.

 

-An hour later-

 

By this point most had chilled out a bit more, a lot had started eating, Faith was of course chatting happily with everyone and John was still at the grill. At this point using it as an excuse to not engage in TO much conversation or be near Faith who he was growing increasingly annoyed at. Just the sound of her voice was grating and every so often his eyes lifted to cast a rather unreadable expression towards her. Irritation? Yeah mostly.

Which was shared by quite a few of the exact opposite m for example Joseph found her amusing, calming even, and funny. His eyes occasionally straying where they shouldn't which he internally chided himself for. They both knew what would happen to image of their relationship was made public. Sure they knew and could confess their sins between themselves and God but judgement from others was a sin all of its own.

Staci had all but began to doze off after a few beers, his head buried in his arms. Not something that should have been a shocker considering he slept so terribly as noted by Allya before. Then there was Jacob finishing what was his fifth beer and growing a bit tired of ALL of it. Not anyone in particular he just wasn't the biggest fan of large gatherings. Really he only showed to keep Faith and Joseph content seeing as they were the only ones likely to whine if he didn't. Moving to slide from the table and glancing back to Staci once more who was beginning to actually lightly snore despite the loud voices all around he moved to head off for the fence at the back of the property. Moving to straddle it he soon hopped down on the other side and started down for the river where a few of his own guys were just docking one of the boats. So intent on getting away from the mess even he didn't notice the red dot that suddenly appeared on his chest until. "JACOB!!!!" One of his younger hunters shouted and damn near leaped from the boat in time to body him and tackle him backwards into the ground hard.

Back hitting the ground beneath the other man Jacob was a bit stunned frozen for a moment. Blinking when the gun fire started and he decided for the moment not to move. Eyes closing he listened, he could hear shouting above but no alarms....

Fuck the alarms! The power! That's why there was no power! So they wouldn't be able to call reinforcements!!

 

Rheagal, Alfred and Armand seemed to settle into the fun of the cookout and found ways to amuse themselves.

Armand had taken it upon himself to go over and attempt conversation with Staci, seeing as he seemed a bit interested in the man.

Rheagal had mixed and mingled a bit, with everyone, which was shocking to the twins but since he was behaving, they thought nothing of it and even Alfred seemed to be finally relaxing as he enjoyed the food and company. Only Allya was uncomfortable, and she really didn't know why.

Among the mish mash of 'voices' she heard within her mind, and the fact that she was now hearing people, kinda of made her nervous. Everyone seemed to have some hidden thought or complaint or just randomness to them and it was steadily getting louder and louder within her head. She had even gone so far as to close her eyes and put her hands over her ears a moment, as if that would help silence them. Before she breathed and just tried vainly to ignore them. Funny, how each 'voice' sounded like the person she had met, or if she hadn't met them yet, felt 'safe'. Like they belonged. Which was helping her relax more into the noise....until, she caught the faintest hints of one...or two...who didn't. Didn't belong.

'Damn it. Why do I have to take the hard jobs?' She heard ghost across her mind in a voice she didn't recognize, and the sensation she got when 'listening' felt hostile almost. Instantly, everything faded but that voice. 'Cutting the power, what's he think I am? Fucker lucky....' It trailed off as she looked around, curious for who that voice belonged to. Till she heard another and then another, and another.

'Fucking bugs! You go squish now! AWW! Spider web! Why are we in these TREES!?'

'Fucking food smells fantastic, think I'll grab some once this is all over.'

'Don't let John get to the plane. Don't let John get to the plane. Oh look...Birdie! cute little thing...wait...oh right...Don't let John get to the plane.'

Allya had started to look for Alfred by this point and she spotted him sitting over by Rheagal, the two engrossed in some sort of chat in Sign. "Guys...something is wrong." She said in a way that made both look at her. "Just trust me...something is very wrong. Strangers...are about."

Instantly they went on alert without seeming too as Alfred turned to walk casually through the crowd, as if looking over each person there. Rheagal went in the opposite direction, sniffing the air and trying to remain friendly while trying to pick up a scent he didn't recognize.

Everything seemed normal...but then Allya heard it...a voice, clear as day and it made her heart stop!

'Come on....come on. Jacob, just a little....DAMMIT!'

 

"Damn it!!!" Graze hissed moving to jump from where she'd been hiding and bolt through the trees now to get a better vantage point. She'd completely screwed that shot up and she could practically Invision everyone else's reaction. "I didn't get him he's on the ground so aim that way. I got one of his stupid men!!" She cursed over the radio as she tore through the trees. "Hurk how's the hanger coming? We need to move NOW!?" Derek's voice came over the radio from where he was perched in a tree and soon dropping down beside Sharky, both with guns in hand. "I got it boss .... Any moment now this plane will blow. Any moment" Hurk tried to sound confident as he fumbled to continue attaching the wires to rig up the bomb attached to bottom of John's favorite plane.

"Hey!!!! Get away from there!!!!" A voice shouted. Immediately hearing one of John's men Hurk’s eyes shot open and turned. Oh no it was his god damn brother no less. Letting out a gasp he turned and took off for the trees without even thinking and before the other could pursue more gunfire as five of their guys fired on the house.

Back at the Grill Faith and Joseph were rushing people into the main part of the house fast. "Inside, inside you'll be safe. JOHN!! Where's Jacob!??" Joseph called stopping long enough to notice the red head wasn't there or shouting commands. Not had he seen him do more than head off. However John didn't answer he was to busy making a beeline for where he had a machine gun nearby. Snatching it and then then double checking it was loaded his nostrils were flaring.

Just down the hill Jacob had waited until the fire from across the river had stopped. Then slowly he pushed the body from on top of him off onto the ground and moved to stagger up fast, met by Tristan grabbing his hand to help pull him to his feet. "Did you see who it was? Where they went?" Jacob whispered, eyes meeting the other males in a very serious look for a moment before Tristan slowly nodded. "Female.... I think I recognized her. Maybe. I'll follow her" He replied moving to pat Jacobs shoulder before whistling to three of their guys and rushing to jump onto the boat to cross the water. Nodding Jacob turned at the sound of more gunfire up the hill. What the FUCK!!!???

 

All Hell had seemed to break loose in that moment as gunfire scattered most of their group. Joseph was busy trying to get those he could, safely inside. Alfred had taken note of Allya, who was pointing to the nearby tree line. "They are in there! I hear them! IN THERE!" She yelped as she dove for cover and cursed as bullets flew.

Armand had tried to help those he could get to the house and Rheagal was actually keeping a cool head for once. Trying to help as well. Giving a look to his brother, who nodded, both shifted and headed for the tree line, if only to sniff about and protect those inside the house. Not caring what anyone else thought at this moment. The black wolf, and the White set up a perimeter and subconsciously, walked it together. One going one way, the other going the other. Keeping out of sight but always on guard.

Allya, closed her eyes as the voices came in rapid succession, before they flew open and she got up and started running. "BOMB! In the hanger!" She shouted to no one in particular, yet everyone at the same time. John and his men couldn't touch that plane! Entering the hanger, she growled as one of their men looked like they were about to board the plane. "NO! DON'T!" She screamed as she all but tackled the man out of the way and out of the building. If that bomb had been rigged right, everything would go up!

 

The moment both of them had but moved to even go have a look at the bomb more fun fire immediately went flying and just missed them pummeling off the plane. Damn it! By this point John had neared the corner of the building and moving to aim fired the moment he saw movement in the trees, at least somewhat satisfied when he heard a scream. "ALLYA!!! Get the fuck back over here!!! Do you two have a death wish!!!!" He nearly shouted at them. The first guy he understood seeing as it was one of their younger members and that being said maybe Allya to. She just couldn't NOT be a hero sometimes.

Stepping back to reload the sound of vicious snarling could be heard beyond the tree line and screaming. He hardly had to look up at all to know who was nearing and moments later Jacob was moving up beside him. "Staci just overheard one of their radio channels. They'd got a chopper in bound. Plan to blow this place to hell. This isn't a bunker John there's no place to hide these people to keep them safe. They need to get out. Now...." Jacob stated mostly meaning their members who couldn't fight, the few kids, pregnant women and elders. The rest well, they knew how to carry a fucking gun they'd at least try to hold out.

For once John didn't look remotely calm, a look of absolute rage was written on his face as his nostrils flared up on either side. "You know what I don't even know why I'm informing you of this. I'm getting Joseph. You keep them off of us! Allya!!" Jacob shouted to get her attention before turning to start back for the back of the house just about the time his two main wolves came running from the trees to catch up bounding past John and taking to Jacobs heels immediately.

Standing John now only looked more furious. His grip tightening on his gun as his took an angry breath. 'Why he was talking to him!!?? As if this wasn't HIS fucking property!!!? No go talk to Joseph!!! He knew SO much better!!! Better yet he'd kiss Jacobs fucking ass and agree to EVERYTHING!!!'

 

"Come on! Move!" Allya stood, pulling the younger male to his feet and all but shoving him back the way they had come. She heard the snarling and the screaming as she made her way back and the link with her brothers also let her know that they each had found an intruder and was in the process of tearing into them as well. 'Leave at least one alive, bros, if you can.' She sent out as she made her way back to John's side, noting his look of rage instantly and went still.

Hearing Jacob, she smirked slightly and caught up with them both, only to tilt her head at hearing John's thoughts plain as day in her head. "Things will be alright....but for now, we should get those out we can." She said softly and pointed towards the boats. "The river...it's safest for now. That's their way out. John!" She tried getting his attention on her and not his brother. Time for that later.

 

Not paying attention to either of them John broke away and darted through the archway between the garage area and inside hanger heading straight towards the sound of gunfire in the front lot. His eyes going to the sky briefly. Still, he couldn't see what Staci and Jacob had apparently overheard was coming but that didn't mean shit wasn't turning to a shit show out front and the moment his eyes went back to the parking lot and grenade landed about mid lawn. "Shit, shit, shit!!" Three of his men were shouting soon rushing back towards him and John moved back to again duck behind the wall of the building arm covering his head from the dirt that went flying as the explosion went off.

Meanwhile back with Jacob he neared the back of the building. Nearing the back door his eyes immediately searched the heads inside until he spotted Joseph over in a corner holding one of the toddlers that was crying as it's mother was helping bandage her teenage sons arm. They were only partially safe in this part of the house right now as it was and honestly he knew his little brother knew that and so did Faith by the look on both of their faces.

Faith was meanwhile trying to comfort an older woman who was panicking near the counter. "No, no we'll be safe. See Jacob is here. Everything will ok" Faiths voice soothed gently with a smile before her eyes moved to Jacob and Allya a bit more seriously. "The backs clear..... For now.... We need to go though" Jacob spoke bluntly his eyes moving to Joseph mainly as he spoke. Moving to hand the kid back to the mother who stood Joseph nodded and moved to help the woman's husband up "Well.... Let's go then" He stated simply, very evidently trying to hide his own emotions currently. Which was as much boiling anger if not more than even John's. How DARE they attack something like this!!! Risk hurting his flock. Some who didn't even know the meaning of sin! Some who had weren't old enough to make that choice! Others who couldn't have defended themselves given the opportunity! That and this wasn't even the church but his baby brothers HOME! That meant they'd taken time to figure out where and when to strike and this angered him the most of all of it!!!

Slowly Joseph stepped up beside Jacob and waited quietly until the last of their people as well as Faith had exited and started down the lawn for the boat dock. At least they should fit on the four boats down there. Mostly. He'd stay behind if he had to. "Watch your John .... Don't let him be reckless" Joseph whispered softly so only Jacob could hear him before giving him a rather serious look. Jacob noting that look slowly nodded and watched as Joseph finally moved to follow the others down the hill. Fucking John! What had the damn voices told Joseph about their wild brother now!! Turning for the door he was soon moving back down the steps and back along the side of the building towards the sounds of the gunfire.

 

Allya had followed Faith and helped get as many as they could onto the boats. A few of the children seemed a bit scared of the boat and she had knelt down to lightly smile at a little boy who was rubbing his eyes and sniffing. "hey, hey, it's going to be alright." She said softly. "See? It floats on the water, and you will be safe. Go with Faith. She will help you." She watched as he toddled off towards Faith and got into the boat and she felt hatred well up within her for whoever was out there causing this mess. The young, to her, were special! Kids were supposed to be coddled and protected, not scared and tormented. It enraged her.

Standing, she looked back the way they had come and bit her lip. Her brothers and Alfred were still out there. No way she was leaving them behind to run with her tail tucked between her legs. Not after she had just gotten them back. Nodding, once the last person was boarded, she turned to head back up the hill.

She paused back in the house a moment to recenter and try to breathe. Opening her link to her brothers and trying to 'locate' them. Rheagal was nearer the house then Armand was and that made Allya worry a little. Armand wasn't a great fighter on his own and they both knew it. Grabbing up a gun from a nearby table, she checked to see if it was loaded before heading back out into it. She'd be damned if people, her brothers and Alfred included fought and died and she did nothing.

 

By this point Jacob had found John and in no other place then climbing into the plane as one of his guys pulled wires off the bottom of it. Were they fucking insane!? Nearing his brow furrowed and he took a slow breath. No way was he going to argue with John over this BULLSHIT! It was far from safe but by the looks of it if they hadn't exploded yet? Well his guy must at least know what he was doing right!? About that time a loud explosion echoed in the distance and Jacobs eyes wandered down the hill. The Silo... He let out a slow breath moving to pinch the bridge of his nose as he heard the unmistakable buzz of helicopter in the air. Jogging over before John could completely pull the too shit he bounced up to grab ahold of the side of the plane soon moving up so he could look his brother in the in the eye. "I'm gonna head out! Try to get close enough to radio in my choppers. If you get over whelmed draw back...... Period!" He told him trying to get his point across seeing as despite John's all to calm acting demeanor as he was flipping switches and preparing to take off he could tell by his brothers eyes he was absolutely raging mad. Who could blame him though? Shit by this point they all were.

"If one of you tells me what TO and what NOT TO DL one more god damn time Jacob..... As if I'm fucking stupid!" John started to rant but quickly stopped himself took a breath closing his eyes as he took a slow breath. Trying hard to ignore the amount of different sounds from all over. The amount of stress.

A few moments later he shook his head. "I won't be that dumb... Just go if you think you need to. But give me twenty minutes. These two bitches are as good as dead" He growled as his eyes briefly met Jacob again then moved back to the controls. "At least" Jacob stated in an all to cold tone. John may have been to cocky but his answer was mostly satisfied and Jacob soon moved to job back down from the plane, stepping back as the engine roared louder and the small grey fighter jet began to move forward along the airstrip.

 

Allya watched as John took off in his plane and then turned to head towards the tree line. 'Rheagal, Armand, check in.' She sent out without thinking. Waiting to hear from her brothers as she kept the gun pointed out in front of her the further in she went.

'Out to the North, just past the trees. I got me three of em already.' Rheagal's voice seemed to echo to her. 'They hiding in the trees so look up sis.'

'I'm heading back. Picked up a trail just East of the house but it went cold. I can scent Rheagal now so I ain't far off.' Armand's voice picked up. 'Anyone seen Alfred?'

'Knowing that man, he probably disappeared into the woods and killed em all!' Rheagal teased, which made Allya's lips twitch into a smile. Until she heard movement off to her left.

Coming to a complete stop, she waited, listening. Voices. She caught movement and saw the gleam of what she thought was a gun in the sunlight and shot. Hearing a loud thud as a body dropped nearby.

"Don't shoot me! I give!" A voice called out as a smallish looking teen crawled out of the undergrowth and tossed his weapon aside. "I don't want to die....don't shoot." His hands up and the way he talked, had Allya scanning the forest, just in case. She wasn't stupid, he could be a distraction.

But Gods, the kid couldn't be no more than 14 at the most. 'Rheagal, double back. I got one for you to take in.' She called out, while still keeping the gun trained on the boy.

'Loud and clear sis.' He wasted no time tracking her and showed up, snarling which made the kid even more afraid. "Take him back to Jacob. If he is out here, there must be more." All she said as she looked down at her brother, seeing that look of fear grow as the boy heard Jacob's name.

 

"Fronts clear!" A voice drifted over the radio. Well as clear as it could get anyhow. The sounds of fighting still echoed over the fields ahead from the two pilots in the air and John. By now Jacob had moved to open the garage. Mentally cursing he hadn't brought a different truck sense truthfully he HATED driving John's weaponized car but he also didn't have a lot of options right in that moment. Granted it was cool, two mini guns sticking out of the top and massive off roading tires. So much for that shit though the bitch still didn't feel as sturdy as his god damn truck!

Ducking down into the seat after finally finding the keys he started the engine and revved it loudly slowly started to pull it into the sunlight at just about the time he spotted Rheagal and dragging kid up. Hitting the gas he actually honked loud enough it made the other jump a bit next to Rheagal and a rather smart grin crossed his face. "Well, well, well, you caught a badger!" He mused a bit smartly.

 

Rheagal snorted at Jacob's antics and shifted back to shove the kid in Jacob's direction. "Allya caught him. I'm just the delivery boy." He smarted off with a smirk. "Though, I got three of them near the North and Armand staked out the East. He found a trail, but it went cold. So, they had to be out that way at some point." He shrugged and chuckled. "But thought you might like one alive. He dropped his gun quicker then lighting when Allya dropped the one, he was with." He said with a hint of a growl as he shoved the boy further with his foot.

He paused as if listening. Tilting his head, a moment, as his eyes furrowed slightly. "That's funny...." He muttered to himself and then quickly shifted back and darted back the way he came. He didn't hear Allya anymore.

----------

Alfred, meanwhile had all but done exactly what Rheagal had joked about. He had disappeared into the tree line and stalked those he could. Taking down at least four of them before he realized it had gone silent around him. So he had doubled back, and come across Allya and Rheagal. Seeing they were alright, he went looking for Armand, and was halfway to where he could sense the boy...when Allya's 'light' went out!

He froze, and then turned back on a dime and ran! Something was wrong! When he burst into the clearing, he saw Allya on the ground, with a very large male standing over her. Reacting, he pulled one of his throwing knives and caught the male right in his throat. He didn't stick around to watch him die, as Rheagal pulled up a few moments later and finished him off. Seems she had been caught off-guard, but was otherwise unhurt...seemingly. Picking her up, Alfred headed back the way they had come, back towards the house. Not being able to 'hear' her made both of them a little worried.
