Her and Mila had been out here for an hour by now, just having a mother daughter picnic near the woods. The sun was shinning and the clear blue sky had made it the perfect day to just relax. Irina still hadn't found a job yet, and she knew Mila should be at school, but she really just wanted to take a day with her, where they could just sit here and enjoy the sun. After they had eaten they had run into the forest, just the outskirts of it and with Irina being a werewolf she was aware constantly of any danger in the area. So, when she had noticed some demons close by, she had grabbed Mila and pulled her close as their back were leaned against a tree. "Стой тук" (stay here), she whispered to her daughter as one of the people came closer by. Irina snuck up behind the man and managed to knock him out by placing an elbow in the back of his head. She kneeled down checking his pockets for information, realizing just what kind of trouble she was in. The patrons, she had heard about them, mostly just by being forced to work with Bratva back in the days. She cursed a bit to herself then running back towards Mila. "Хей, момиченце. Трябва да направите нещо за мен. Можеш ли да го направиш? (Hey, baby girl. I need you to do something for me. Can you do that?), Irina tried all her power to put on a brave face for her daughter, but right now she was more scared of what would happen to Mila than what would happen to herself. If the Bratva or Matthew wanted her to pay for leaving, more than she had already payed - they could do that, but she wouldn't let Mila get in the middle of it. Mila was just seven, she didn't deserve being dragged into all of this. "Mama, какво става? the young girl asked looking terrified. Irina stroke her little girl's hair softly and breathed out. "Трябва да тичаш, колкото се може по-бързо. И тогава имам нужда да вземете Найджъл. Можеш ли да го направиш? (I need you to run, as fast as you can. And then I need you to get Nigel. Can you do that?). Mila nodded even through it looked like she wanted to cry out of fear. "Обичам те толкова много. Сега върви," she pushed the little girl off and Mila started to run. She ran as fast as she could and Irina made sure that anyone picking up on the movement of her little girl, was dealt with.

She stepped out of the clearing and lashed her arms out looking at the blonde that seemed to be the leader. Young, she thought to herself. "дурак" (idiot) she whispered in disgust while looking at him. "What the fuck do you want, huh?" Her golden wolf eyes started to glow up, making them aware that stepping too close could be a dangerous move. Then again, mafia business were always dangerous in itself. It including supernatural creatures, didn't make it much better. "Aren't you a little young to be playing this game?" She asked quite impolite and narrowed her eyes a little bit. She hadn't been much older herself when she had been in this, but leading a mafia was a lot different than ending up doing all their dirty work.

One werewolf, two demons and the person in the trees hiding as if he hadn't already smelled her. But her main attention was on the werewolf, most likely because he was the same species as her. Just go with us quietly and no one will get hurt… Irina snorted and rolled her eyes at the three musketeers trying to convince her. "Are kids done, or do you need more time to get your act sorted out?" She replied snarkier than before. She didn't really have time for this, but she also quickly realized who had sent them, making her take a sharper breath in. Who else would have known she had been running for seven years? Irina could feel her heart skip a few beats ahead. Getting away hadn't been a one woman mission, more people had been included, and she wasn't interested in giving names up either knowing they would be punished if it got out. "Then you will be impressed by how I'm going to skin you alive if you even attempt to come closer," she replied and raised her brow at the blonde demon.

She was beyond aware, all her senses were at its peak. Mostly because she was scared that they would run to Mila. She didn't know what deal they had made with Bratva. For all she knew they could have wanted them both and Edith for that matter. He made a movement with his arm, making her narrow her eyes a little bit. She wasn't too familiar with the supernatural, even if she had been living around a fairy for the past months, and knew some people with great powers. Before she knew it she landed hard on a metal floor, not even registering what had happened seconds before the fall. "какого черта!"(What the heck) she cursed and got up on her feet. She was caged up in what looked like a basement. Irina walked closer to the bars and grabbed them, testing whether or not she could pulle them apart - but as she first thought, it was hopeless. "Этот тупой придурок," she hissed hitting the bars a few times. "Fuck," she took a small step back and looked around. She took a deeper breath in, she needed to make the better move. So, she made her claws appear, placing them into her palms making small drops of blood fall down on the metal floor, enough to extract her scent a little bit. At least she hoped if anyone came looking for her, her blood would give off a stronger scent. "Are you going to hide from me like some bloody coward? You can at least show yourself you selfish bastard!" She yelled. She wasn't even angry. Anger didn't describe the small sensation of fear that started to grow in her. Fear of never seeing her daughter again, the fear of losing her and everyone that mattered to her. "I can fucking smell you, ты имитируешь придурок."

"I bet you do," she growled at him walking closer to the bars. She wanted him to come closer and if she was in luck at some point she would like the scratch his eyes out. Her eyes looking around them, even if she couldn't smell Mila nearby, she wanted to make sure she couldn't see her. "Does that even matter to you?" She snapped at him clear signs of anger dominated her voice. "All you care about it your deal with Bratva, then you don't care about the fact that you are tearing a family apart for that sake," she took a sharper breath in containing her anger that build up in her system. Irina licked her lips. "I know how this system works, if you don't go through with it, they will just come knocking on your door, and you don't want that. So you make other people suffer just so you don't have to," she snarled at him, still with her wolf eyes out. Irina spit after his face, having it the only thing she could do, and she was pissed.

He was right. She did know. She had lived it. "I know, there is no escaping it, no matter how hard you try - it comes after you the second you lower down your guard," she sighed not removing her eyes from him. "No, as long as you keep your mouth shut about her, they don't know who or where she is -"her voice more deep and the golden eyes from her wolf threating to show again as a warning. Not that she could do much from here. "But leave her out of this. Then you can get me, I can give a crap about what happens to me in that case," Irina narrowed her eyes a little bit. Irina knew Mila was safe with Nigel, so she didn't worry much right now. Even if he had people out searching for her, then she had enough fate in them not getting too close. "This job is going to shallow you whole -" she could hear his heartbeat, her his breathing, possibly listening for a small mistake or doubt in the words he spoke. However, she got distracted when a familiar sense scent crossed her.

The young thunderbird ran down the stairs, having caught Irina's scent in a place close to the supermarked. She wanted to help her with whatever she needed, but the direction had lead her too down here. A place she did not like, then of course, Tidus scent had made her even more worried. Maya looked around her, till she stopped by a sight she didn't want to be seeing. "What the hell," she breathed out looking at Tidus first then Irina and repeat. "Maya you need to get out of here okay," Irina wasn't going to let Nigel's daughter in trouble while he was making sure hers was safe. "What the fuck are you doing?" She almost yelled walking further down the stairs. It wasn't because Maya didn't know who she had been living with, the mafia boss and the reformed serial killer. Yet, in this life she had chosen to ignore it blindly, there was other things in the world to worry more about, but it was first in this moment she realized there was something she had to do. Using her powers to break open the cage, letting the werewolf out that jumped on the demon first chance she got. "Irina, it's okay," Maya assured and stepped closer. The werewolf turned to Maya shortly before getting off the demon. There was some explaining in need here. "You know you don't have to owe him anything, if he has something on you-" Maya shook her head a little. "It's not like that, he is family.. It's a long story."

Irina snarled at the demon, ready to attack by any sudden movement as she walked closer to Maya. The demon seemed to know her, she wasn't blind to that. Odd relations that was like family, she knew that too well herself. "What am I doing here? What the fucking hell are you doing? Have you completely lost your bloody mind?!" Maya yelled back, not meaning to yell but how could she not. "Why I am defending her? I don't know maybe because you are locking my father's girlfriend in a bloody cage mate!" Maya added and crossed her arms. Her powers getting slightly out of hand, making the room around them shake a little bit, but not enough to cause any problems. "So yes, I'm defending her. And I would like you do not do anything about it, because the last thing I want is for my father to hunt you down and cut your head off," she added more angrily, but she was just worried of this turn of events. It wasn't so much that him doing stuff like this shocked her, it was more the fact that she suddenly felt it close to her. Getting something ripped from you, it was a fate no one deserved. "So, let her go - I am not asking," Maya added as she exhaled. As usual she stood her ground, but she never thought it would be like this, because even if Tidus was her family, so was Irina now. A part of it. She wasn't going to turn the blind eye to this. Irina looked at them, sensing Maya was the one needing to lead the conversation in this one, but she remained aware.

Maya raised a brow slightly, now was not the time to be joking, even if she usually would. The last thing she wanted was to have Tidus and her father on each other's bad side. It was very rare you saw Maya this deadpan serious, at least after she had gotten out of the military. Her blue eyes didn't move from Tidus, she knew in her bones that he wouldn't do anything to complicate things for her, but it didn't mean her nerves allowed her to relax by the thought. Also, having Irina looking so tense made Maya a bit more tense. He turned around looking at Maya, keeping eye contact with only her, which was possibly the smartest thing either way. Bratva. So, that was the people Irina had been running from. Maya noted it down. Tidus knew something, which made Maya want to know what he knew. "Thank you," Maya looked over at Irina who thanked Tidus for it, even if Tidus didn't look at the werewolf. Maya nodded a bit to Tidus. "Here, call him and go, I will be right there," Maya gave Irina her phone and unlocked it. Irina took a few steps towards the exit, looking slightly back making sure it was the right call, but Maya almost pushed her on the way out. Maya breathed out. Not really knowing what to say either, it wasn't really the normal situation they were usually standing in, like: whats for dinner or what movie are we going to watch. This was entirely different. "Thank you."

Maya usually never asked questions: you did what you had to. That was just the way things were in this world, but something had shifted, now life was not about just surviving. Maybe she was high on new hope from prom, and the fact that she actually felt like she had a chance in this world. "I know," she whispered, for all she didn't really want to be angry with him, but she couldn't just let this pass, not when she had to keep the peace. Her thoughts got distracted by Tidus seeming to be a little bit out of himself, she knew how that was. Maya had spent so many years trying to figure out who she was, and she was just beginning to find her way around all the chaos - she didn't need more, and it seemed like Tidus just needed to figure some shit out. He asked her to go follow Irina before she would believe that Maya was hurt, to be fair Irina wasn't the one she feared thinking that. Her father on the other hand. "Okay, I will go. But I will be back soon enough, okay? Remember I have graduation the first of July, be there - okay?" Maya looked into Tidus eyes and took a deeper breath in before walking over to him and give him a quick hug. "Find out who you want to be before going anything for anyone else - sometimes all we need is a little push in the right direction." She gave him a small encouraging smile before taking a few steps back and run up the stairs to meet Irina waiting for her, already with Nigel on the phone to let him know things were alright. They were alright.
