As usual, Benjamin found Celesse's answers less than helpful. It was nice to have a soundingboard, though, someone to talk at while his mind turned in circles trying to sort out the confusing mess of puzzle pieces that had been shoved into his lap. Somehow the picture needed to come together...

Benjamin wasn't happy with how quickly the conversation was moving on - he had so many more questions for Celesse. What was her job as 'X', exactly? Assassin? He understood that life. He had been a sniper in the army. His team would be given their target, clear the location, post up in the...

Benjamin supposed Celesse must have survived many such wars like this one in her long history. It was difficult for him to remember just how many lives she'd already lived, since such prolific lifespans were still a new concept to him. He was foolish to think he could do anything for her...

Benjamin frowned as Celesse took his hand and dragged him along but he suffered the physical touch as one, he didn't know his way around this place yet and two, it was not the time to make a scene over something so trivial. As she pulled him through the hallways he built a map in his head...

Benjamin had barely made it out of the kitchen when he caught sight of the commotion coming down the hallway, a large group of werewolves clearing the way for yet more magical creatures carrying... bodies. He pushed himself against the wall as they passed by, catching brief glimpses of the men...

Benjamin stared down at the plate for a moment more before bringing himself out of his thoughts and continuing to assemble the sandwich. Lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, mustard, mayo, turkey and, the best part, bacon. He'd probably end up eating two of these. Or maybe three. He took his first bite...

Benjamin was struck by the beauty of the compound. An incredible amount of care seemed to have gone into harmonizing the space with nature as much as possible, using the natural aspects of the landscape as often as they could. He felt strangely honoured to experience such an incredible feat of...

The corner of Benjamin's mouth lifted in a snarl as Celesse tapped his nose, folding his arms across his chest as Maria barely even gave him the time of day. Why did his parents know a werewolf? And a powerful one, at that. Did they know about her supernatural abilities? Surely if Maria knew...

Despite himself Benjamin dozed, his body still wrecked and recovering, though he never succumbed to a full sleep. As he heard Maria clear her throat his eyes opened, though it took his mind a moment to catch up. He let out a heavy breath and then sat up, running a hand down his face to try and...

Benjamin caught Maria's glance, her eyes searching for something she might recognize in him. It disgusted him. How could she dare to be so familiar with him...? He had no idea who she was. She knew your parents. His anger at being so blindsided roiled within him, and he turned his gaze away...

Benjamin followed Celesse down the apartment complex stairs to the landing outside, ignoring her occasional glances back at him. The black Rolls-Royce at the curb was anything but inconspicuous - it made him think of the mob. People who couldn't help but flaunt their wealth and power any time...

Benjamin stepped out of the bedroom just in time to see Celesse falter as she stumbled out of her own. He watched her but said nothing, having already spoken everything he wanted her to hear. She had made it clear that despite everything they had been through together, there was no familiarity...

Benjamin pressed the side of his head against the doorframe, a look of irritation on his features. Yes, obviously it was clear to him now that it had been his boss who had sent both the vampire who literally tried to steal his heart, and the siren who wanted to put him down like a rabid dog...

Benjamin had grabbed up the frying pan again, but now that the initial dose of adrenaline was wearing off he could feel exhaustion rushing to overtake him. Damn his half-dead body. Damn the siren who had tried to steal his life from him. What an inconvenience. He braced himself as he caught...

Benjamin knew going into this that he was going to struggle in this fight. His body was already responding slowly, his heart rate elevated after such a small struggle. It was easy to believe he had recovered quickly from his experience with death when all he was doing was sitting on the couch...

As the voices grew closer, Benjamin looked down at his gun. He knew he couldn't use it. For one, he didn't have any of the specialty bullets, meaning the normal rounds in his pistol would likely only slow down any supernatural intruder, if that. And secondly, gunshots (especially so many...

He glanced up as he heard Celesse returning, pausing the game and taking a look at his watch. Had he really been playing for that long...? Benjamin was stunned. He'd thought for sure he had only just finished the tutorial an hour ago, but in reality he'd been pumping bad guys full of bullets...

Schaefer Ulrich didn't have to say a word to make his demon minions tremble before him at the news they had just brought. Someone was meddling in his plans again... Whether they were doing it with full knowledge of his plan or not, that was another question entirely. Ulrich wanted war. Messy...

Benjamin eagerly pulled his phone out as he felt the vibration from Celesse's response text, only to groan at the first message. Why did he even bother? What a nuisance she was. He was so damn bored, and he was pretty sure an Xbox wasn't going to cut it. With a heavy sigh the ex-soldier...

Benjamin was grateful for the speedy delivery of his groceries. His self-tour of Celesse's apartment had turned up nothing of particular interest, though he had located the second bedroom which he assumed she expected him to take for the time being. Finding himself dead was becoming more and...
