From a Whisper to a Scream

Maya hated this with all her heart, and she had been sticking around way too long fallen asleep on her father's couch when she had felt her bones ache from not transforming. Irina had woken her when she had gotten home, making Maya almost panic as she realized she had to run out before turning inside the house. So, the young thunderbird had rushed as fast as she could towards the forest. Smell of blood hit her sharp nose, a deer, which could only be imaginable when it came to it being the night of almost every werewolf in the country transforming. The fact that there wasn't any more werewolf related deaths was a wonder to her. Then another scent send her mind somewhere else. Katelyn. "Fucking hell," she mumbled worried, picking up her phone, sending Irina a quick text as Irina was the last person she had seen, and possible still was awake - not that her father most likely weren't as well, but Irina was the last one Maya had seen before. Her body already ached and screamed and the longer she pushed it down, she knew it was going to hurt that more.

Finally, Maya made it to the scene running past a few werewolves that already were too close to where Maya could smell her sister. Using up some of her powers to grab a hold on a wolf that was about to jump her sister and threw it like a ball into some of the others. The thunder started roam over their heads. "Katelyn!" She yelled more serious, trying to push down the pain that washed over her. "What the fuck are you doing out here, you need to go!" The werewolves growled and snarled at the girls clearly most af Katelyn, making Maya's blood boil with anger, reflecting on the weather as the sound of thunder grew louder by the second. "You want a fight? Huh! Come and get me," she yelled at the werewolves, used a few branches to throw at them, getting their attention rather than Katelyn. "Katelyn, go. Now!" She didn't ask questions. "I already texted Irina, I know dad and her will be on their way, now get the fuck out of here!" The sound of one of her bones cracking trying to force her transformation out even though she tried to stop it.

Maya watched Katelyn run a little off, Maya remaining very focused on getting their attention away from Katelyn. She breathed a little bit out, okay, it was fine. She screamed up as the transformation kicked in, and her bones started to bend in order for the large bird to change into shape. A few strikes of lighting stroke down from the dark night sky. Hunting the wolves down, trying to make them bay it worked for a while and some of them paid with their lives for that. Maya knew she needed to make it quick. She needed the transformation to go smoothly and rush these wolves off, and for a while it seemed like they had learned their lesson and ran off. Still staying in her thunderbird shape, it demanded her to stay in this shape a while longer, the payment for not having turned when first asked. She had learned that lesson a long time ago.

She made the choice to go check up on Katelyn, which was possible the best idea she had gotten tonight. The sound of her sister's scream send Maya odd, and she didn't really have much space to do anything other than tackle the wolf, and the thunderbirds claws ripped open the skin of the wolf as the sound of thunder became even louder and lighting stroke yet again. Maya screamed at Katelyn to get going once again, but with the high-pitched sound of the eagle wanting to save her sister more than anything. Maya stepped down from the now dead wolf, and tried to pluck some of her feathers - she was fast in the sky but down here rather clumsy and she was scared of not being able to save Katelyn from another attack. The wolves closing in on Maya trying to pluck her feathers.


Irina was just about to get ready for bed, having enjoyed just being out for a walk, being able to control her emotions kept her from having to turn. Not that she had felt like she had to even attempt to control anything tonight, which for her had been quite odd. But she hadn't thought too much about it, as she had woken Maya up and she had stormed off. Just checking on if Mila was sleeping, Irina got a text from Maya. Irina frowned a bit before taking a sharper breath in, "fuck," she closed the door to Mila's room and went to the bedroom, "Nigel," she said with a quite serious voice, clearly to know something was wrong. "We have to hurry.. Katelyn is out in the woods, Maya just texted me. Werewolves," she took a sharper breath in, but didn't really waste anytime on heading back downstairs and run out, Mariella had woken up by the overfloat of panic and just listened and knew she had to stay back with Mila. Even if she would have loved to help.

_________________________

She tried. She really did try, but it wasn't up to her how many feathers that she needed to pluck, and before she even finished the job one wolf jumped her, making the thunderbird tumble to the ground. She could feel the teeth pierce through her left wing, a wing that had almost become an arm and another strike of lighting crossed over the sky as the next wolf jumped on her, clenching onto her leg. Maya trying to moved them off but all she could reach was a few more feathers. Just a few more and she had returned to her tiny human form.  Another set of teeth closed around her hip and she screamed up. No, she couldn't panic now, this wasn't the end. After everything that she had been through, she wasn't going to let a few wolves end her. Not like this. She was not going out like this when she finally had found her family and the love of her life. She was not going to die.  Maya punched one of the wolves over the nose, so it let go of her leg, and elbowed another one. Her legs and feet already covered in blood and her face, from when she had attacked the other wolves that had tried to get close to Katelyn. Maya crawled a bit bac, her body in extreme pain. "Please, just stop," she begged the wolves that walked closer and closer to her, and then jumped on her yet again.

Irina stormed out to the woods, knowing Nigel was just behind her. Perhaps she should have brought a gun with her, but she had claws - she would be fine. It wasn't her she worried about, and the thunder and lighting on the sky didn't make her worry wash away. The blood, so much blood - everywhere. But it wasn't Katelyn's blood, no it was Maya's. Maybe it was the fact that Maya had stayed at the house for many days of this month that her scent was easier for Irina to pick up, but she rushed towards it. Only to see the pack of at least five werewolves trying and had gotten a few bites in of Maya that screamed at them. Irina knew she couldn't take on all of them. "Nigel," she yelled as she whistled to get the wolves attention. Luckily, there was nothing like a lone wolf to pack wolves, and it seemed like they turned their attention more towards Irina.



It was perfect night for a werewolf hunt, he had geared up with a few of his best hunters to go into the woods. It had been fine, or he had lost his guys, who didn't bring silver bullets to a wolf fight? Here he thought they had been some of his best hunters, guess not. Quentin moved down the forest, all that blood, the weather changing up all of the sudden. The scream of what sounded a like a thunderbird, he had no idea what was going on - but he stayed clear off it. Quentin took a turn around a tree when a younger girl ran into him. "Hey, hey, its okay," he lifted his hands up assuring her that he wasn't any trouble. "Are you alright?" He asked looking a bit behind her, making sure that there wasn't any werewolves following her. It wasn't safe to out here.

_________________________

Maya breathed out slightly relived when Irina showed up, only to call her father. The thunderbird already felt like things looked a bit better and pushed through to get back up on her feet using the tree behind her as support. After all, what was a little bit of extra pain? The first shot fired, making Maya move her eyes over towards her father, taking the following wolves' heads. Irina watched it as well, a slight pained expression watched over her face, but what we didn't do for the sake of our children, even if it meant losing yourself for a little while. The she-wolf looked into his eyes, and she knew what she needed to do most was to just to do as told. For her safety and Maya's, so she rushed to Maya who reached out for Irina. "I'm okay," she lied, clearly everything was not peachy fine, and by the second that Maya stepped away from the tree and into Irina’s embrace she collapsed, giving Irina no other chance than to lift Maya up into her arms. Irina eyed the rest of the werewolves that snarled at them, but now was not the time to think about them. She could come back, she just needed to get Maya home, and perhaps call Daisy. Maybe she could even hit Cassian up, he was a powerful warlock, right? He would know something about lingering werewolf bites, or maybe not, who knew. All these thoughts went through Irina's mind to not listen in on the werewolves screams as they were slaughtered.

Irina running with the bloody girl in her arms as fast as she could, back to the house already meeting Mariella sitting outside waiting on them to get home. "Clear a table," Irina yelled after Mariella, who quickly got on her feet and opened the door for Irina and leaned the coffee table. Then only to quickly run to the kitchen to find some cloths so they could clean the wounds. Irina checking how deep they were, so many bites and she wasn't sure how thunderbirds responded to them. She tried to call Daisy but no respond. It was in the middle of the night, she didn't blame the banshee for sleeping, but right now she really needed to reach her. Luckily, she quickly texted Dion about Cassian's number, because Dion never went early to bed, and she had gotten his number in case of anything if Mila was at their place. So, with Cassian's number she called him, hoping for a response. "Hey, it's Irina. Sorry for waking you up like this. But I really, really need a favor of you, how fast can you get to Daisy and get her here.. it's about her daughters, and something terrible happened in the woods, and I don't know what's going to happen next, but I know she needs to be here, and she doesn't pick up, please, can you get to her?" Irina begged, hating feeling so useless in this moment. She hated looking at the passed-out Maya which wounds Mariella was cleaning, Irina hated Katelyn and Nigel was still out there. And she didn't know what happened out there, but she wouldn't and couldn't leave till at least Daisy was here.

The werewolf then hung up, just by the second of everything in the room starting to shake as it seemed like Maya was about to wake up again. Mariella placing a small blanket over her in case she might be freezing. Werewolf bites was nasty on their own, on a full moon, not even Mariella knew what was going to happen. Was Maya going to turn into a werewolf now? But with Maya's powers responding, and starting let things fall down from the shelves, it didn't seem like any good outcome was to come of this. Irina just hoped Cassian could get a hold on Daisy, also before Maya lost complete control without even being fully awake.


Quentin moved his finger to his lips, telling her to be quiet. The girl was clearly in pain, he didn't know how much or how little, and right now, out here it didn't matter. He was so aware of the werewolves, but it didn't keep the tingle from knowing she was supernatural go away. It made him eye her a bit, but the sound of wolves growling he had to prioritize who was making the biggest threat. Quentin looked behind her seeing two werewolves coming in closer, making him lift his riffel up and take a aim as he removed the wolves senses, making them numb as they were shot. They didn't feel a thing. "Let's get you out of here," he looked into her golden eyes. If not she had been around the same height as his youngest sister and looked a slight like Nicole, the girl would perhaps not have been this lucky, and if she were going to remain lucky was another thing. He had been spending too much time with Hannah as Jolene would say, don't grow soft like your siblings. It would be his downfall.

_________________________

They had all went to bed quite early, Katelyn had been so tired so why not call it a night. It had been a good idea at the time, but as she felt Cassian's hand brushed over her head, and in a low whisper woke her up. The banshee opened her eyes, looking at his face, something was wrong. "What? What happened?" Daisy sat up slowly, the urgency in his voice freaking her out a little bit. What had happened? Call it mother instinct, she hoped it was mother instinct and not her banshee censors reacting to this. Daisy grabbed her phone all the unanswered calls from Irina and Mariella, "how fast can we get there?" Her blue eyes mixed with both worry and determination. She needed to get there, and it was now. She needed to know what was going on, and no one was going to stop her.


"Where am I taking you? Away from these god damn woods," he hissed a bit, the American accent clearly also told her wasn't the usual hunter running around these woods. Not that it made him any less dangerous. He could just have killed her right now, as close as he had her. If he just removed her senses, she would feel nothing, and it would be done. But he didn't. Quentin just started walking, "are you out here alone?" He asked not looking at her. A part of him just saw Nicole, and how he hoped if she had been out here, someone would help her. "Where is home?" He then asked, not just letting her get out of here alone. He still had every instinct in him telling him to just end her, he didn't even loosen his grib on her arm as he pulled her towards the end of the forest. Quentin had heard shots fire earlier, he was quite sure that he wasn't the only hunter out tonight.


Irina breathed a little out. Just a little, what was this other than one big mess. Walking back and forth from the kitchen to the living room with bloody cloths trying to clean the werewolf bites. Maya was cold sweating, mumbling words and sentences that she didn't understand. And she looked so pale, and was in so much more pain than either the fairy or the werewolf wanted her to be in. And they could only take so much of it on themselves, perks on Mariella's powers and Irina's werewolf abilities - at least they could take a good amount of pain onto themselves. But it didn't stop Maya's body from stressing out, even Mariella seemed to fear the worst, where Irina was a bit better to keep her head calm - one of them had to keep their emotions intact. But as objects started flying around with a speed none of them had counted on, the werewolf was sent to the ground shortly by a flying book, nothing she didn't get up on her feet from, and a small cut on her forehead that would heal, it was nothing. She just hoped that Cassian and Daisy would hurry up. "It's some kind of fever dream, I think - I can't take it all, there is too much on her mind - I can't do it all by myself," Mariella frowned a bit. "But I know someone who might be able to," she looked into Irina's eyes. One thing was all of this happening, but worrying more people to stay in this unknown - was that fair? Then again, what was not fair was not letting people help, that might actually be able to do anything. Irina picked up her phone again, and dialed Howie's number. There was no say if he was actually up now, but whether he picked up ur it went to voice mail, Irina wanted to inform him. "Hey, I'm sorry to wake you up. But I think we need your help, something happened in the woods, we have Maya back home in safety, but we don't know what is going on, but -" Mariella grabbed the phone from Irina not wanting her to be the one making all the phone calls tonight. "She was bitten by a lot of wolves, and I think the venom is affecting her in a weird way, I've tried to take it, but - I might need a hand." Asking for help like this was a lot. She then hung up, and turned around to Daisy and Cassian being there.

Daisy rushed over to Maya's side and placed a hand on her forehead. "What the hell happened?" She demanded to know, and Irina filled both Cassian and Daisy in, and still kept looking outside. "Go, we got it here." Daisy said knowing Irina wanted to go make sure Nigel were alright.  



Even if it was a dangerous plan, it truly was. But yet, Irina ran back out to the woods, trying to track her boyfriend. But it was hard with all the blood. "Nigel?" She called out a bit worried and started look around. All the dead creates she found on her way made her take a deeper breath in, because she had no idea what state of mind she would have found himself in.

_________________________

Daisy looked up at Cassian, when she started to exam what he could and couldn't do, worry filled up the banshee and she bit down on her lip, almost so hard she could taste the blood. Couldn't stop what was already happening, what was already happening, she had no idea, they had no idea. Daisy's first thought was perhaps maybe this would just turn her into a werewolf, right? Could thunderbirds be turned into werewolves? Daisy nodded a bit, almost lost for words, but she gave him a confirmed nod to that he could heal her. Daisy knew with some blood samples and stuff she could run some tests if she had been at work, but this wasn't a work project, this was her daughter. The only thing comforting her was the fact that Maya wasn't dying, she would know. And that scared her most of all, because it was like she expected the worst to happen. Mariella's magic also being at its strongest, and having taken just some of the stress, the amount she could handle without being too overwhelmed it seemed like Maya's powers had settled a little bit. However, taking on too much of it and things would very much reach a point none of them needed right now. If they could just get her mind stable, and stop it from stressing the body, maybe she would wake up and they had a chance to take it from there.


"Look, I'm just trying to be nice, but you are making it so fucking difficult," the hunter mumbled and tightened his grip around her arm a little bit pulling her closer. "I could just have left you to die, or even better just have put you out of your miserable little life myself," he stopped and looked down into the girl with the golden eyes. "I might just still," he hissed a little bit. Looking to the side as the girl looked at something or more like someone. Quentin narrowed his eyes a little bit looking at Nigel, the blood didn't scare Quentin. Blood was a part of the job. But what took Quentin by a surprise was that this pretty little thing was in fact; Nigel's daughter. Quentin looked shortly down at Katelyn then back at Nigel. "Not you too Nigel, seems like people around these parts of the world make wrong decisions regarding who to have children with," he said with spite in his voice. Then again, was Quentin really stupid enough to start a fight with Nigel, no he wasn't. Nigel was a way better fighter than Quentin was, he wasn't going to pretend that he was better than Nigel. Maybe morally.

Quentin looked to the side when he heard a voice call out for Nigel. How many people were out here tonight? From the side of the woods Irina stepped out in the clearing. Her eyes first falling on Nigel, then at the other human with Katelyn in his grip. By how she was geared up, she assumed hunter. Looking way too much like Frederik and Julianne to not having her convinced that it was from that tribe. Maybe she should have called Selene before heading out.  Quentin lifted his aim from the rifle towards the werewolf, and Irina took a deeper breath in, keeping her eyes directly at Quentin. "See, tonight has really been filled up with surprises huh," Quentin fired a few shots towards Irina.

Irina freezing a bit as the silver bullets flew towards her, but it was just like they stopped or was stopped just before they hit her. Few inches before they fell to the ground, making the human shoot again, only to hit a fall of energy. Irina finally breathing out but having no idea how that field of vibrant energy formed in front of her, but right now very thankful.

_________________________

Suddenly Howie showed up, Mariella breathed out by the heavy emotions of worry that felt the room. She looked upstairs and made it her duty to make sure that Mila slept through this. The last thing that young child needed was to see any of this. Daisy tensed her jaw a bit as Howie kept her away from Maya, but perhaps it was for the best. There was nothing Daisy could do to ease her daughter's pain - a parent's worst nightmare, she just hoped Nigel and Irina had a better chance with Katelyn. How split up she felt, but she trusted them to take care of Katelyn, just like she hoped they trusted her to give Maya the best care as possible. As long as none of her daughters seemed to have a fate that meant death, Daisy was somewhat calm. She wasn't ready to lose either of them. Daisy wrapped her arms around herself, biting onto her thumb nail while looking at the shapeshifter pulling in Maya to his embrace. She hoped Maya would wake up soon, but all the sadness was just so overwhelming for the banshee on top with the worry. The constant worry, she was going out of her good skin, trying not to let herself be too emotional right now -they didn't need that. Maya didn't need that, she needed to wake up.

Maya suddenly took a deeper breath in, feeling how much more clear her mind came after the stress seemed to be removed from her body. Peace, she felt the sensation of peace, and tears running over her skin that wasn't hers. She took another deeper breath in, finding comfort in the scent of her boyfriend. "Remind me not to take naps after dinner," she mumbled a bit, but leaning her head further against his. She felt like crap to say so the least, like everything was spinning and she felt like she was dying of heat. But she was here. Which to her was the most important thing. And Daisy breathed out when she heard Maya's mumble, running her hands over her head not knowing how to contain herself.



Quentin turned his eyes to Nigel the second he heard the man's roar, and prepared himself for the fight he knew was going to get into. Then just few seconds later, the power of energy pushed him back, making him fly back into the woods, looking up to figure out what the hell had happened. Coughing a bit as he tried to get up, his body sore from the attack, as he had hit his head on a rock. Irina however, was protected by the energy from her own force field, looking at Katelyn that looked so confused standing back. Irina ran towards Katelyn and sat down in front of her. She had seen the blast better than the other two that had been blasted away, and she had only felt it as a small push towards her. What was going on tonight? Irina placed her hand on Katelyn's upper arm and looked up into Katelyn's eyes, she could feel her pain. "Your mother is at home with Maya," she wanted to let Katelyn know that Maya was in good hands.

The hunter got up on his feet, and moved his hand towards his head. He had lost his weapons in the blast, and he wasn't going to try come between the werewolf, the other creature, and Nigel in the other end. Not now, not today, it seemed to be the smartest move to draw back. So, he did. He had seen their faces now, it wouldn't be hard to find them again - if that was what he wanted. Bleeding out from his head, he wasn't even sure if he could straight out of the forest, but he tried.

Irina breathed out looking back at Katelyn as it seemed like Quentin had given up, and just pulled Katelyn into her embrace softly, not wanting to cause more pain to her. It had been too close, too much in one night. Still leaving her to be remarkably shocked that she had been more under the moon's influence than she was. She usually in good control, but never this clear minded. She looked to the side to spot Nigel, still covered in blood. She knew he had been killing more of the wolves and she had no idea how bad it had been while she had run off with Maya. The blood on Irina's clothing only being from carrying Maya home. "We should get home." Irina breathed out. Still controlling her emotions regarding being shot at, she could react to that later - now getting Katelyn and Nigel home was her main priority.

_________________________

She managed to chuckle a little bit, being uncomfortable or in pain wasn't really a new flash to her, so pushing it a bit down was easy - but she could feel how the pain seemed to ease from her body, as Howie's hand moved over her hair. "Sounds good to me," she took a deeper breath in, her voice sounding a bit hoarse. Even if she didn't feel the pain or how stressed her body was. It didn't stop her mind from running scans on something wasn't like it was supposed to be. She had never been bitten by so many werewolves before, if even she had been bitten before. Usually she was good friends of werewolves. Her system just seemed bothered, but more like a sickness spreading than something utterly painful. Maya sat a bit up, grabbing onto the blanket so it didn't fall off her. "Maybe I should get changed," she said a little disorientated and frowned to herself, swinging her legs over the table. She was stubborn and extremely bad at asking for help, but this time she had her arm wrapped around  Howie's not wanting to go by herself. Because she could feel something was wrong, she just didn't want to worry people more.

Daisy didn't take her eyes off Maya till Cassian pulled her into his embrace, feeling reality suddenly click in. Maya was still alive. Katelyn was still alive. Everyone was still alive. She breathed out as Cassian assured her everything was going to be okay, and she nodded a bit. She didn't know if she nodded to convince herself more of that statement or him. Daisy listened to Maya wanting to get changed into something else, not that she blamed her. Waking up after whatever had happened on a coffee table couldn't be very comforting. Daisy didn't mind Howie helping Maya up there. Daisy placed her head against Cassian's shoulder and closed her eyes for a while.


Irina closed her eyes for a while, she hadn't left Maya in the best shape. "Yeah, but how about we worry about that when we get home," Irina suggested and took a deeper breath in. Feeling Katelyn break down in her embrace, keeping the girl closer, with a hand behind her head to keep her close. "I got you okay," she whispered to Katelyn and took a sharper breath in. The werewolf had picked up on the fact that Katelyn's legs seemed to be unwilling to carry her, and not wanting Katelyn to collapse on the way home, she picked her up, being thankful that she did have her wolf strength. Also just to give Katelyn a moment of comfort. Irina followed Nigel back towards the house, feeling how everything started to process through her mind, making her feel a bit dizzy but nothing she couldn't just blink away, at least she told herself that.

"Yeah that too sounds nice," she mumbled a bit heading upstairs. Not as stable as her feet as she would like, but she managed to push a little through, but also allowed Howie to help her. "Just a quick shower first perhaps," she mumbled still a bit all over the place, not really understanding what was going on with her, but her mind's focus was on detecting what was wrong, which usually went faster than this. This was new, and she had no idea what was going on. Maya pointed towards the bathroom, she didn't mind Howie staying because it was clear that if she stood to long on her feet she was beginning to lose balance. The venom still having its sweet hold on her. But she would like to get the remains of blood off her skin, out of her hair. Not reminding herself how many werewolves she had killed tonight in order to stop them from getting Katelyn.

Daisy turned her full attention to the door as it opened and her eyes landed on Nigel first, then Katelyn as Katelyn called for her. Irina letting her go so she could run over to Daisy's embrace and Daisy wrapped her arms around her. Once again it hit her, a mothers intuition to something being off. Something was very much off. Katelyn's energy seemed to low, way too low.

Irina nodded towards Nigel and sat down on the nearest chair, taking a deeper breath in. She had been all over the place all night, even before getting back to the house she had been down the streets saving some girl from some stupid morons. She hadn't even seemed to catch her breath for a second before storming out again. Irina looked up at Cassian as he filled them in on Maya's state, nodding a bit to herself feeling like she at least had made the right calls tonight. Massaging her forehead a little bit where the drained blood was from earlier.

Daisy sat down with Katelyn as she felt how lifeless her daughter's body felt in her arms. Making Daisy starting to panic a little bit more than she already were. She was drained. Completely drained from whatever had been going on tonight. Mariella stormed down as another wave of worry had exploded from downstairs and looked around shortly. Maybe it was just her fairy like nature that always had felt drawn to Katelyn, and wanted to provide her with as much help as possible, she didn't know - and there was so little fire could do to help. "What do we do?" Daisy looked so helplessly into Nigel's eyes, and then up to Cassian. Completely losing it with worry, it was just too much in one night. Yet, despite feeling so helpless she couldn't help but trying to send small blasts of energy through her daughter's body, hoping it would kick start something. Maybe they just needed to drive her to the hospital - but to be fair, it wasn't like Daisy and Nigel had the best experiences with putting their daughters in hospitals, so she would like them to find a way to solve this themselves. "What happened out there?" Daisy looked at Nigel asking him, if he knew.

Irina took a deeper breath in, knowing she saw it more than she felt it, "it looked like she just collected so much ... I don't know, energy? And it just exploded out of her, it was very powerful," Irina informed the worried mother and breathed out, not knowing if the information helped with anything, but it was at least the story of what had happened.

After a shower, getting into some clean clothing Maya didn't think of much other than just collapsing on her bed, but not before she had shuffled over making room for Howie to join her. She wanted to be close to him right now, it was her main thread to safety at this moment - and Maya wanted it as close as possible, moving close to him as she fell to sleep. Didn't even notice anything more at this point. Her body still trying to figure out what was going on, but for now she just fell asleep.

Quentin, Daisy was going to skin that boy alive. Daisy couldn't really recall the first time she had used her powers, it was such a long time ago by now. She didn't remember what Katelyn might be feeling fight now, exhausted from using them for the first time. To be fair, Daisy didn't even know Katelyn had powers like that. Odd, how Daisy before having Maya had been able to use telekinesis and had lost them after, leaving her with her energy based powers still, but Katelyn being able to extract such a blast of energy. Could the banshee anything but blame herself a little bit more for that? No. But she nodded when Cassian claimed she just needed rest, so Daisy picked her daughter up from the ground and got on her feet. Using whatever motherly strength she had left that. Daisy looked into Nigel's eyes as he said Katelyn was strong, she knew her daughter was strong. She just wished her daughters didn't have to be this strong. Daisy rolled her eyes a little when he also pointed out that she needed to get some sleep, even if she knew he was right. Daisy lifted Katelyn towards her room, and placed her on the bed. Kissing her forehead, not really feeling like leaving her alone - who could blame her?

Irina got out of the bloody clothing as she entered the bedroom, this night had been terrible but it could also have ended a lost worse. She took a deeper breath in, as she got into bed. Not closing an eye till Nigel was beside her, and pulled her towards him. First then she fell asleep only few seconds after him.

The next day, it seemed like all that had been needed was too sleep in. The only ones waking up early was Mila and Mariella. Mariella taking Mila with her to the store to give the others, to let them sleep - they needed it after last night. And the fairy had clean the blood of the floors and table. Next to wake up had been Daisy that already was sitting beside Katelyn within seconds after having woken up, worried sick about her daughters. The only reason why she hadn't walked into Maya's room was because she trusted Howie took care of Maya and that he would yell if something was completely wrong.

Maya waking up, feeling like she had the worst hangover ever. Moving her hand towards her head, turning a bit around to see Howie beside her. She wished that last night had been a nightmare, but she also knew it had been very real. "Goodmorning," she mumbled a bit, still looking quite pale and most likely a bit sick. To be fair that was how she felt as well. She lifted herself up on her elbow, massaging her forehead a little bit. Her throat felt so dry, she needed some water and some food. It felt like she hadn't eaten anything in days.

Irina had been awake for a while, but hadn't moved just watched her sleeping boyfriend, letting him get the rest he needed. They had all needed rest to be fair, but Irina always woke up the second she heard Mila's voice, but also had heard that Mariella had taken her - which had made Irina just relax a bit more, waiting for Nigel to wake up at some point. She even heard Maya's voice, listening into the other rooms.

"Ask me when she wakes up," she breathed out and licked her lips a little bit. It was frustrating not knowing when she would wake up, or when she would feel just a little bit alright. Daisy wasn't used to feeling this powerless towards Katelyn. Not since she almost had lost her when she carried her. Then when she had been kidnapped it had almost torn her apart again, and now. Now she just felt like she was stuck in an empty dark pit, waiting for someone to fish her up before she was buried alive. She watched as Cassian placed his hand on Katelyn's forehead and she assumed he healed her broken rip, giving Katelyn a little bit more of color, but also gave Daisy just a little bit more room to breathe. But even a little bit was a lot to Daisy, and she nodded a bit as she took a sharper breath in. "You've done so much already, thank you," she got up from the bed after having given Katelyn's hand a little squeeze. Then cupping his face and gave him quick kiss. "Maybe we should make some coffee for everyone," she suggested. Daisy knew even through she would love to just sit here and wait, that it wouldn't change anything. And all it would do was making her worry even more. So, she nodded towards the kitchen.

She kissed him back as she felt his lips against hers. Maya frowned a bit to his response that she smelled like werewolf. "How like werewolf?" Maya wondered and ran a hand over her hair, pushed one of her locks back behind her ear. She still could hear the same, her senses hadn't changed. "Other than hungry, and like I just downed two bottles of whisky the night before, I guess I'm alright. I've been worse," she confessed, with her forehead still against his. "I will be okay." Maya did believe that, because that was how it usually went. She was also worried about Katelyn, which made up for the energy she didn't have. The need to check up on her sister, having collapsed before she had even seen her after last night. "I need to know if Katelyn is okay," she folded her lips together. "And then I need some food, I'm starving."

She smiled at him as he opened his eyes, he was exhausted that was clear. Also from the blast Katelyn had unleashed, not sure how Irina herself would have been affected if it had hit her. Irina was still confused about a lot of things from last night, but her mind had spent its time this morning collecting at least some of the pieces. Irina lifted herself up on her elbow and supported her head with her hand. "Morning," she folded her lips a bit and breathed out. "How are you feeling?" She asked, knowing most of the answers just by looking at him, but she felt like asking anyways. "Daisy and Cassian has checked up on Katelyn, she is still out.. Maya is awake, Ella and Mila left an hour ago.. and let's hope Daisy didn't pick Mariella's coffee for the brew she is making right now," she chuckled a bit keeping it at least a light. Even though she knew no one here would relax till Katelyn woke up and was alright, and they knew what was going on with Maya. Which was where Irina frowned a bit, finally realizing how different Maya's scent was. It was till stormy, but there was some wolf like around it too, she couldn't put her finger on. "Her scent is different.. Maya, I can't put my finger on it," she informed Nigel and looked over at him again.

Daisy went downstairs to the kitchen to start finding coffee, she wasn't a complete fool when it came to Nigel and his coffee. So, she knew he would hide the good stuff somewhere and she was very determent to find. Daisy also found it, and put the coffee on. Turning her attention to Cassian again. "I'm really glad to have you here," she breathed out and reached for his hands. She could hear movement upstairs, and she guessed Maya had woken up. And it took everything in her to not just walk right up there to check up on her. She waited for her to come downstairs.

Maya frowned a bit and did a small grimace. "Yeah, I can still feel its a bit odd. But I can't explain it either," she confessed and got up from the bed and got into some new clothing, just a pair of shorts and a tank top, and a scrunchie to pull her long blonde hair up into a high pony tail. Maya did seem a little out of balance, and she gave Howie the credit for feeling just a bit extra hopeful about this along side her own stubbornness. "I do feel different, I'm not going to lie. They attacked while I was transforming back, a lot happened last night," she sighed a bit. Maya hadn't killed anyone for months and now having ripped people to pieces last night, she did feel slightly bad about it, even if they had it coming. Maya grabbed Howie's hand as she went out from her room, thinking for a second if she should have knocked on her father's door just to let him see she was alright. But she was so keen on seeing Katelyn.

So, she went to Katelyn's room and saw her just there on the bed. Like if it was taken out of sleeping beauty. Maya took a deeper breath in, and slowly talked over to the bedside. Maya had no idea what had happened, but sat down beside her. "Hey Kitty Kat," she lifted Katelyn's hand up towards her lips and gave the knuckles a small kiss. Maya didn't ask questions about what had happened, not yet, because she knew Howie couldn't give her an answer - he had been with her. "You know, when you wake up we are going to go for a drive to the mountains, see the waterfalls, and it will be so lovely. You will be okay, I know you will, just wake up soon okay?" She whispered against Katelyn's knuckle before giving it a kiss.

Irina took a sharper breath in, she didn't like seeing him like this, but she also needed him to know it was alright not being at the top of your game all the time. They both needed that reminder time to time. "It's okay, I can go grab you a cop of the good coffee, maybe something to eat, then off course my amazing company," she sat up and looked at him with a smile, leaning down to give him a small kiss before stepping out of the bed and putting on one of her t-shirts and pair of cowboy shorts, looking back at Nigel for a second.

As they headed downstairs Daisy looked to the side, making it her way slowly to see Maya, almost as if she was scared that it wasn't Maya that showed up. Maya looked over at her mother with a warm smile, before walking over Daisy had already almost run over to embrace her daughter, holding her tight. Right now, she could comfort in one of her children being awake and somewhat well, at least she was walking, smiling and talking. Maya didn't even have time to reply to Howie's question about Roman, but it didn't mean that Maya's mind wasn't rushing over with whether letting Roman know now or not. Maybe if she called him it would be the best way. "I'm okay, just starving," she confessed having her mother let go. Maya looked back at Howie, "I will call him after we've eaten. The pack usually have some after the moon feast," she confessed not wanting to interrupt. Besides, he would rush in here and after losing his brother, she knew Roman was having a hard time - even after everything with Ryan, even if Roman never really talked. She knew, because she noticed stuff. Maya made it to the fridge and starting grabbing a lot of stuff, making Daisy look at Howie for a second. "Thank you," she mouthed to the young shapeshifter and gave his shoulder a small squeeze. Daisy then turned her attention onto Maya starting to put some bread in the toaster. Grabbing mugs for everyone, now that the coffee seemed to have been brewed. She still looked pale, but Maya much like her father never listened to her body even when it was screaming at her. She just didn't know when to stop, but she felt alright.

"You want any?" She asked them as she wanted to toast more of the bread. Then she turned her head around as Irina came down the stairs. "Goodmorning," she smiled, remembering Irina had carried her home last night. "Coffee?" Irina nodded a bit. "Yeah, thanks. I will just be grabbing a few things upstairs," she eyed Daisy with a small serious glimpse. Irina knew in her core that this had taken its tool on him, and he had promised to at ask Maya if she would go up to him after she had eaten. "Your father would like to see you after you've eaten," Maya nodded with a bright smile, "of course," The toast popped up and she picked it up and placed it on a plate. Putting some news pieces of bread in for the others. Then Maya grabbed her coffee and the plate and sat down. Letting everyone else take as well if they wanted. Irina stepping closer, pouring up two cups and got some bread. Daisy started cooking some eggs and some bacon, not wanting to let Maya just eat bread - none of them to just eat bread.

Maya started eating, and frowned a bit having lost her phone in the woods last night. "Can I borrow your phone to call Roman?" She asked Howie and took a larger sip of her coffee. Maybe Maya was a firm believer in ignoring the problem till it went away, but she also knew she couldn't. Daisy eyed Cassian a little bit, clearly a bit worried still about Maya. Because even if she acted somewhat like Maya, clearly it was just her way of coping with everything - not that she wasn't allowed to. It didn't mean Daisy worried any less. The banshee took her top of coffee and took a sip, needing it black just for this morning.

When Daisy had finished making the eggs and the bacon. Irina placed it on a tray, along with two cups of coffee before heading upstairs. Quickly looking inside to look at Katelyn, she breathed a little bit out. At least Nigel didn't need to face this right away, the sight was heart breaking, even if she could hear the heart beating. Then she went back to the bedroom, and sat down with the food. "Maya made toast, Daisy made eggs and bacon - and it's your good coffee," she informed and placed the tray down. Irina sat down at the bedside and took a deeper breath in. "She is about to call Roman to fill him in on everything, then she will be up here. You know, you two are very much alike, she likes to put the brave face on too," Irina took one of the plates and placed it on her lap.
