A New Era

Last Stand| Carter, Grayson, Hailey, Marcus.

He was able to pull himself away from the situation he was in, allowing a vortex of air allow him to lift himself, his legs beyond in pain but he would refuse to let it show. Carter had to stop Grayson, seeing him try to get away. He yelled out, allowing fire to be sent in front of him, making him turn and using the opportunity, and making the earth become sinkable before trapping his legs. “Grayson, you will be stopped now.” his voice booming as he stays afloat in the air. “Marcus.” he asked, needing his assistance. Although Carter wanted to end the man’s life, it would be too easy for the damage he’s done to everyone. He allowed his arms, to move in the movement, hoping Marcus would follow, they needed get rid of his corrupted power, he bent the water that was from the plants and surrounded grayson, seeing the wolf struggle.

The hybrid looked forward, seeing the wolf begin to flee, he had to regain his composure slightly. Saraya taking over must’ve been taxing on energy for him. He soon, see the wolf jump back and soon saw him sink and get caught dead in his tracks. Seeing the druid, who was generally surprised by his power. Hearing the druid loud and clear, and seeing the glowing flow of the water surround Grayson, he looked behind at Hailey. He wasn’t as mastered as the other druid, his eyes glowing red, and then changing to the druid’s white glow. He attempted to gather water but was unable to. He sighed, focusing, looking up at Carter’s hand movement that seemed to flow. He cleared his mind and followed the same pattern, letting it flow as now more water surrounded Grayson, beginning to glow, and making the wolf glow. Following Carter’s gesture he moved. 

Grayson felt himself feel a change. Seeing his body glow, a warming light came through him as he roared, feeling the piece of the talisman fall out his body, and it disappeared, feeling his body revert back, as he kneeled, holding his own body. He felt himself fall backward, feeling his mind blank, his brain a blank canvas as he couldn't form a thought, he was too weakened. "No." he breathed out, knowing they'd come for him and do the worse imaginable. 

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

Hailey let out breaths that no longer hurt, her eyes closed as she pressed into him. She hadn’t expected this amount of power when she decided to face him, so being alive felt like a miracle. She saw him rise and she made Marcus turn, standing beside him, her shoulder touching his bicep, staring across the field at the now armed calvary that he’d summed to help him. She looked up at Marcus, almost expecting him to shift or do something but he just yelled and grew still, his eyes blankly staring off into the distance and she whined, nipping at his arm, trying to get him to do something.

Marcus felt himself blank out but soon felt a light, as he felt an energy within him resonate. He felt her presence, feeling her take over, although unsure what was happening. He soon came to eventually, seeing the guard’s around him, down. The hybrid looked and saw Hailey was okay, he realized Saraya had saved them. “Thank you Saraya.” he said looking up in the sky, before turning his attention to the wolf in front of them.

The wolf looked and saw the woman peeking through Marcus, Unsure of how or what happened. He didn't care, but was angered by the woman's ability to take down his guard's. Grayson saw no choice but to take this moment, and chose to run before the hybrid came to, he began to charge away from the scene, he needed to survive, but soon saw a wall of fire make him jump away and try to run the other direction but soon felt the earth sink, trapping his paws and legs. He roared, trying to struggle to get free.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

Marcus was surprised when Derek had came, not seeing him in general or sensing his presence. He was glad as he didn’t want to fight Carter knowing he saw the hybrid a threat to him. He saw Hailey who was barely holding on, and nodded to the alpha, before leaving to go and help her. He saw the large wolf, that looked rather un-wolf like. It was as if some projected image than an actual wolf. He saw the wolf charge at Hailey, his eyes glowed red, his fangs coming out as well. He wasn’t too used to using the power’s Saraya used, he only knew the sacrificed soul’s helped him to be able to fight. His eyes transferred from the alpha’s red, to the emissary’s white the glow overtook his eyes as he jumped letting the air carry him across the gap between him and his sister jumping in front of her, leaning down and gripping his hands in a fist as he used the force, to force the wall of earth in front of them blocking them from Grayson before kicking the wall and letting the wall force him back, before turning his attention to Hailey and hugging her. He was glad she was okay, letting his hands heal her damage. 

Hailey winced with every breath, her ribs flexing but pressing on bruised muscle. She stared at Grayson, or the form he had over took; he’d become the monster he was fighting so hard not to win. She had to do this, no matter how much reality and memories over lapped, the guilt the pain washing over her like a tidal wave, she needed to be better then him, but the crazed look in his eyes was nothing she could beat, and deep down she knew that, but this was people she loved he’d hurt. He came toward her in a rush, and it took all she had to broaden her shoulders lowering her head in preparation for the fight, but it never came, her brother sliding between them and the power radiating off him made her take a step back automatically, her eyes looking at the manipulation and she knew, what it was and where it had come from. She saw Grayson get thrown back before arms engulfed her fur and she whined in pain as the weight of Marcus’ arms pressed on a tender part of her body, but the pain faded as he healed her. She pressed her muzzle against his face, eyes rising to Grayson in the distance, her nose nudging Marcus to turn as she growled.

Grayson charged forward, picking up his pace charging towards Hailey. Attempting to end the wolf. He soon saw Marcus jump in between them, seeing the wall come up knocking into it before feeling the wall being pushed back. It forced him back and made him smack the ground, he whined as he tumbled far back. He corrected himself up, and roared loudly letting the power flow through the air. He summoned the remaining guards he felt nearby allowing the power to possess them. Calling them to his location, he knew they would have bullets the damage the two wolves. He let the remaining guard's surround them and aimed their gun's at the wolves. He would end this and be able to leave, given he still had Kacey to tie up the other's.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

His blood cut across her tongue, her teeth tearing at it before she pried the teeth away from him, limping as it hurt to breath, her ribs bruised as she looked at him, and it was if she was watching something she shouldn’t, her eyes wide as she watched his body contort in a change of human skin to wolf fur. His eyes made her whine, because she’d seen this look before; Memories overlapped reality and she found herself taking steps back. She couldn’t do this again, but her wolf needed to do this, to prove she was capable of handling herself, as her human part was remembering the damage this kind of wolf could do. Her eyes looked at Marcus and Carter, fighting Kacey, not even in Grayson’s view, he wanted her dead. She took a breath and stood her ground, refusing to let herself get afraid over the past. She could remember the way his fingers traced the tattered scars on her back, and now she had to look at him and see someone who was capable of doing the same exact thing. She snarled, her hair bristling, preparing for more damage she was sue to receive.

Grayson roared at the other wolf cross the way's from him. He soon felt the energy of the druid that he thought was dead spark back up. Even though he could no longer form a sane thought, he knew he needed to survive, although he wouldn't be able to escape with the wolf in front of him still. He felt the fur on his back stand up, knowing he'd soon be outnumbered. He stomped his paw to the ground, charging after Hailey his fangs bearing, and his speed picking up. He was going to take down the wolf in front of him. 

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

She was losing this battle and she knew it, but she was doing anything she could to bring some sense into him, not wanting to take his life, she didn’t know if she was even capable of such a thing but it was becoming clear that there was no changing him. She whined and barked in pain with each hit, and it was a pain that sunk deep within her and she knew they wouldn’t heal easily. She looked up at him and it was a plead she couldn’t voice, before she could see the murder in his eyes, and she needed to make the pain stop, she had to make it stop, she had to be strong, look strong. She roared as his last kick sent her most primal instincts soaring and her teeth buried themselves into his leg below his knee, her claw cutting through the fabric of his jeans and into his thigh, she was going to make the pain stop, and she was going to end it one way or another.

Grayson had continued his assault on Hailey, slamming his legs against the wolf, hard. He kept using the talisman's power to increase in strength but all he was doing was making things worse for himself as he continued to losing him. He didn't expect hailey to grab his leg and bite into it. It made him scream out loud, He felt her bite deep, he continued to allow the the talisman's power to help him as he tried to push healing and yanked his leg away from her, attempting to heal his leg. He soon saw his body was marked with markings. The power of the talisman was now cursing him, allowing his own ideals and the things he hated the most to become him. He soon felt himself beginning to shift. It cursed him to be a werewolf. It changed him, becoming a large gray wolf slighty bigger than Hailey's wolf. His eyes darkened out, to show that humanity no longer existed. He growled, stomping around confused as the power was overwhelming. Grayson no longer was able to form his own thoughts the monster he had now become now running him. 

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

Hailey tackled him to the ground, using the fact he was surprised she fought through the blinding pain of the sounds, and taking him down. She thought maybe, she had him, but nothing was that easy, no, so when he threw her, she braced herself for it, rolling and landing on her feet, shaking her fur as she snarled at him as he laughed. What had she even seen in him, this was not the man she laid with, the one she shared her bed with, he was delicate, he was thoughtful, this—was nothing but power consuming a soul. He came at her and she let him, because though he had power, strength, healing, he was still human and she was still wolf.He got close enough that all she had to do was sidestep, turning her head and grasping his collar of his shirt and his necklace and threw him across the field, hearing the fabric shred in her teeth and pull away from the shirt itself.

He felt the main piece of the necklace sink in within him, the remaining necklace remaining feeling her pull the necklace from his neck, but it didn't matter. He still held his power, he smirked now that she was close. He grabbed her by her muzzle forcing her mouth shut, and picked her up, and slammed her to the ground, moving and smacking his leg against her stomach to kick her hard. To show now the necklace meant nothing. He wasn't even there anymore, laughing uncontrollably as he continued the barrage of kicks, against the wolf.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

"Not all humans, just pathetic hunters that think they understand what it’s like to be something you didn’t choose. And being condemned for actions you haven’t even done." She defended as she charged him, her wolf form large as she bound against the grass, throwing herself on the ground, though it wasn’t the most convincing of displays, she tried. She figured he’d retaliate, but not with what he laid down. Her paws pressed against her ears as the echo waves hit her. She shook her head, trying to hear anything else but the noise, moving to the edge and grabbing one with her teeth, crushing it and hearing it die out. It was a sound barrier but nothing more then that, you end the sound it was pointless. She looked up at him as she threw it at him, the spike landing n the ground at his feet, a heavy growl in her throat as she fought against the noise, it almost making her ears feel like they were bleeding, but she refused to let her see her crumple. She bit into another and repeated, this time it landed in his thigh, and she used that as a good enough gap to charge him and press him to the ground, her claws cutting through his shirt, and holding him down, snarling like the beast he wanted her to be. Her nail shredding a piece of the necklace

Grayson surveyed, the wolf surprised she was fighting through it but didn't bother to do anything knowing she'd succumb to the sound of the frequency, seeing her do it again but this time it landing in his thigh which hurt so much he yelled out, forcing himself to to use his strength and pull it out, letting the necklace heal the wound. The hunter was taken down by Hailey feeling her cut through his shirt, feeling piece of the talisman cut but felt the power flowing. it soon sank into his chest the power of it becoming one with him. He yelled out in agony, the power overwhelming and putting a strain on his body, but granted him so much. He grabbed her, and was able to toss her forcing himself back to his feet. He began to laugh uncontrollably, the power intoxicating him. What hailey had done was killed the last of his sanity. "You're gonna pay for that" he yelled charging after her. He didn't know what the talisman was doing to him, and he didn't care. Whatever would get rid of the wolf in front of him he didn't care.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

"As your kind is nothing but pointless specks of dust." She growled and shook her head, "I am a pure blooded werewolf, you think I got to choose this life? Unlike you or maybe even half those monstersyou killed, They chose, or maybe they didn’t, maybe they were baited into death like I’m sure you’re trying to do to me.” She shook her head, rolling her eyes as she shifted, not shying away from the bullets, charging at him full on. Her yellow eyes were set on him, and she could see him playing with her, trying to throw her off, but she had something more up her sleeve then he thought. She got close enough but not to close before she forced a whine and rolled to the ground, shaking as if she had been in pain, trying to coax him toward her, adding more whining for added effect.

"My kind? You're referring to all human's." he said, laughing at her. "Chosen or not doesn't matter to me." he said, looking at the wolf shifted, charging at her but then saw she whined and rolled to the ground. The hunter raised his eyebrow, he knew he purposely missed and no way that she could be hurt. He used his talisman to give him strength, remembering having seen the druid do it and allowed it to manipulate the wind, but using it to toss his wolf corral baton's, tossing them and letting them land in a diamond pattern, around Hailey. "You should've ran into the bullet, you would've been more convincing dear Hailey." he said pressing the button letting the sound emit high frequency unbearable noise for that of a wolf caught in the trap.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

"Some supernaturals in this town haven’t taken one human life, I haven’t taken one, Kacey hasn’t and look what you turned her into!” She shouted back as she shook her head, “You can’t become a monster to destroy a monster, because the monster becomes you.” She gestured to him and shook her head. “You are nothing but a man hiding behind money and power.” She said to her as she felt her emotions roll through her like a tidal wave, anger, deception, saddness, everything as well as his own magic. She found herself gathering herself off the ground, an ache radiating in her back as she looked at Carter and Marcus, “Get him away from here Marcus, I’ll be fine.” She felt her hands shaking as the wolf within her rose to the surface. “Funny coming from a man that’s hiding behind magic.” She shouted across the distance, “You’re acting big, fight me like a realhunter and then I’ll fight you like a wolf, alone.” She rolled her neck as she felt the roll of energy down her body, “Come on Grayson, you want to end my monstrous life so badly, let me give you it.” She took a deep breath and broke out in a run, shifting and landing on all fours, snarling.

"I don't care." he simply said, he didn't care anymore if they hadn't. They would one day lose control and do it, and that's what he thought of supernatural's. "Does it matter if I'm a monster in your eyes? It sure doesn't to me. You creature's were always monster's to me." he said, laughing. "And you're a wolf hiding in human skin." he said, rolling his eyes. "You were better off fighting in number's....and the boy is good as dead." he laughed. "You're trying to bait me, maybe if you were strong enough you could actually fight someone. Afterall, this magic is limited but it provides a fairer fight." he said to her, pulling out his gun and aiming it at Hailey. "Once again, if I use this like an actual hunter, you'll say it's unfair." he said firing at her, a few shots purposely missing her laughing, making her think he was losing it to bait her, the talisman was making  him throw out his logic.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

  "Because I didn’t want to believe you could do this!” She said as she gestured to Carter. She could feel how cold he was, dark, he wasn’t putting anything off and it just seemed to burn her anger a little brighter. She shook her head furiously, “You corrupted minds, destroyed families,…” gave false happiness, she added silently in her head as she shook her head. His laughter dig its way into her skin, and into her wolf’s pelt, he thought this was funny, she felt her claws grow as she growled, “You call us the monsters, look in a mirror Grayson.” She said in a dark voice, her hand shaking in anger, he wasn’t worth the claws, or maybe he was, because she could feel the energy around him and it almost made her want to step away, but she held still, even though her wolf wanted to whine and walk away. “Maybe putting you down won’t be so hard after all, “Marcus.” She said a little louder, her eyes falling over the jewelry around his neck, the one thing he refused to talk about or take off.

Grayson shook his head. "Destroyed families? What about all the families the supernatural has destroyed?" he shouted at her. "You all are expected to be forgiven for your actions?! they have consequences, and I figure this is the best way to deliver it." he said to her, the power making him more insane.  "I might've had to become a monster but sometimes that's the best way to take down a bigger evil." he said, forcing energy around her, before waving his hand making her fly towards the nearby huge tree. "Come on Hailey, can't fight me alone? You sure are acting big right now." he laughed, sending her flying.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

Hailey looked at the man she spent so much time with, her blue eyes wide as he discarded of Carter like he was nothing but a sack of potatoes. She looked up at Grayson, shaking her head as if she couldn’t believe it was him, that it wasn’t processing fully. She shook her head, and looked back at Marcus, “Get Carter.” She said, knowing this wasn’t going to end well, turning her attention back to the man, “I knew it, I didn’t want to, but a part of me knew..” She felt tears fill her eyes as she dropped her eyes, “You did this, all of this, I had hunters follow me home from your apartment Grayson, and you—” She said with pain and anger in her voice, “You hurt my friends like nothing, to destroy all of them, what was to come of me? You get a few good lays out of me and then toss me away like the others?” She said, approaching him, “Was that what I was to you, some fuck buddy that you were planning on killing later?”

"If a part of you knew then why continue?" he said, looking at her. He felt no emotions for the girl, the talisman around his neck corrupting his sense of emotion. "I did what was needed for this world. It's sad that you also had to be a monster, Like I've said. If there was a less gruesome way for me to remedy this issue I would. But I can't." the hunter looked over her laughing. "That's exactly what it was, are you being serious right now? You're pathetic if you actually believed that there was anything more. There wasn't." he said smirking. "I was hoping to postpone the inevitable but it's clear I'll kill you now." he stated, the necklace glowing beginning to focus on Hailey. 

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

Carter felt himself to the ground he tried to struggle to do what he intended, if it came to this but the serum kept digging deeper now that it has reached through his whole body, he felt down feeling his power fade and the memories of his past lives as well, feeling them disappear from him as he felt his voice clouding his memory. He knew once the serum kicked in, he would die. 

Hailey didn’t have to see the altercation to be able to feel it, the tightness in her chest at the power. Her brother was close, her eyes shifting to his every so often to make sure he was still there, not wanting anyone to jump them. She pushed through the treeline, not expecting to see two men fighting in the field of the large building, but really not expecting who it was. She froze and shook her head, hoping to be wrong, but of course she wasn’t. She walked up to the men and she took a deep breath, “Grayson?” Her voice was shot as she looked at the way he held Carter, growling, “Let him go. Now.”

He saw bits of flames, that merely dissipated from the boy. He was glad, the serum had failed, or at least it had poisoned him from what he saw. Like it had done to a few wolves, he tested it on. His power was gone, and he was no longer a threat to him. Grayson held him up, his eyes still glowed but they were dim. He looked almost half dead. It wasn't until he heard the familiar voice. He turned to see her, and the alpha next to her. The one he saw in his visions. "Well Hailey, I was hoping you wouldn't see this but then again. It doesn't matter." he said calmly. "Let him go? Fine." the hunter said using his power to swipe him across the field watching his body slam against the ground. "He's let go of now, and soon will be gone." he smirked at the beta acting as if nothing that happened between them mattered.

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

Carter kept his stance steady, as he saw him getting up. He saw him move and actually toss the car without even touching it. He kept his place stomping the ground and allowing a wall of earth to protect him from the car being projected at him. He moved to the side of the wall and kept his fists up slamming in the air sending a few blasts of fire his way before moving his hands to take off some of the wall and project it at him. He had to stop Grayson by any mean’s necessary. He charged towards the man, intending to scorch him as he prepared to send a huge burst of flame but as the flames started to appear, he felt the poison settle further inside him, feeling his muscle’s tense as the flames disappeared. He yelled out in pain, collapsing to the ground. Feeling his power’s dissipate slowly. 

Grayson took a few hits, healing almost as quickly as it injured him. He was breathing heavy, his body felt worn, but he kept still, staring and dodging what he could of the emissaries attacks. He had more power and experience, but Grayson could hold his own, and with the serum pumping through his system he was sure Carter would crack, just like they all did. He smirked as Carter approached him, already seeing the flicker in his eyes, and he started to laugh, seeing as he fell to the grass below. Grayson walked up to the boy and laughed harder, his hand grasping his hair and tugging his head back, "They always break." He said in a dark voice, looking at how tired he was, "Such a waste."

Last Stand| Carter and Grayson

Carter had kept firing at Grayson, unaware of the root that was travelling all the way where he was, feeling it wrap around his leg and tugged him to the ground feeling his legs and body slam to the ground. Carter felt it, but the power that was flowing through him numbed the pain despite the poison’s inner working. He felt himself grabbed by the throat and lifted up. The emissary stared the man down, he lifted a large piece of rock and slammed into the man’s back, and then pressing his palms forward using a gust of air to shove him.

Grayson nodded as he stood, cracking his neck as he rolled his shoulders, "Alright. Two can play this game." He said, his fingers rolling down on themselves, feeling the twitch of the metal car beside him. It was harder for him to move things, but it wasn't impossible. He narrowed his eyes before he threw the object in Carter's direction with a loud yell as it was physically exerting to throw such a large object.

Grayson was trying to flee, as cowardly as it was, he couldn't let this monster destroy what he fought to create, what he spent his whole life building; he needed to leave and he needed to get out of this town. He had heard the alarm go off and had run into the bodies of the fallen hunters he'd promised to protect, but they were replaceable, just like everyone was. He was out in the car when it flipped, the emissary had caught up and now Grayson was bleeding and fighting to climb out of the car. He stared at the monster he had strengthened, seeing the mayhem he was creating with a stone cold look, his head healing, "Poor boy needs powers to be strong, how unfortunate." He sneered as he rolled his shoulders, "Bring it." He said as he pulled a root and used the talisman around his neck to manipulate it and wrap around his leg, pulling him to the ground and bringing him to his level. "We told you how much of a monster you are, you just can't admit it." He said as he sauntered up to the boy, wrapping his hand around his throat, lifting him from the ground.

Caged Encounters >> Grayson

"A man that is making people kill other people! We may be something more but we are all still people." She snarled, "Killing you and the rest of your group will be worth it, people like you are the problem and this town has seen more then enough of people like you." she yelled as he broke her arm, stumbling back as he stood, "You may think that, but there are more then just me and carter to stop you." She said, glaring at him, "Hunter will be the only reason we do what we have to." She said, "You capture me and Carter and you call us scum? We have never killed anyone, we live normal lives, I’m a nurse, he’s a student, and here you are treating us like we’ve murdered half a town." She was growing defensive, more and more as time passed, wincing as a bullet lodged into her thigh, "You claim to be equal strength but yet you reply on a gun, so very predictable."

"Why is that you all think you're going to get to me with your words. I've made up my mind." he said, laughing. "What gets me is that you supernatural's will kill and expected to be forgiven for your mistakes as it's only in your nature but human's have the right to fear what can kill them. And  it's against the law to kill but I don't see you atone for your crimes." he said, laughing. "Carter, Cora, and Kacey will not stop me. They work for me, until they have lost their use and by then I've set up there death's the easy way." he said to her. "Your husband has killed probably so many times. Does that not disgust you in some way that part of him took pleasure in those kills. Carter is a druid, they go through many lives I wonder how many lives he's taken through those lives. I can treat you however I please. Whether you have killed or going to Does. Not. Matter. You are going to be killed and that's it." he shot her thighs, the special laced bullet. "Oh shut up." he shot her in the shoulder's.  "You know what's predictable you thought it was going to be a fair fight." he said staring her down, moving to move past her, knowing the bullets will take effect eventually.. 

Introduction|| Grayson and Hailey

She gave him a look, a raise of her brows and a smirk on her lips, “You are the one that offered to carry them..remember that.” She laughed softly as she rolled her eyes, “Your sarcasm hurts my feelings.” She held back laughter before she asked her question. “So you carry it for intimidation reasons?” She looked down at it, shaking her head, “It’s not intimidating.” She smiled, hiding her face as she looked back at the stacks of shelves, “This town isn’t the best but we stay as safe as we can. We just have to stick together.” She was talking before thinking, but it was vague enough to not give him the wrong idea. She shrugged, “Never thought about carrying anything.” She said, because well, she hadn’t, it wasn’t just because she was a wolf, she just didn’t actually think about bringing anything to defend herself with. “Probably a bad idea, but…” She sighed, shrugging. “Worst has happened to me.” She was speaking to herself now, but she wasn’t keeping it in her head, she was speaking out loud as she looked over a book, “Maybe I should get one? Don’t know what would fit me, I’m kind of a homebody.” She laughed as she looked up at him.

"Yeah but you're the one looting all the books you're probably not going to read." he said, laughing back. "Oh I doubt it did. You're laughing after all." he smirked back at her. Grayson rolled his eyes, ignoring her comment. He listened to her though, she was hinting at stuff. "Like?" he asked the wolf curious to what she was referring to. "A small handgun would work." he said, keeping his mind occupied, remembering she was still a wolf and that he couldn't let her good looks interfere with his plans.
