An Impromptu Gathering

Neem is wrapped up in Sosiers arms when they all hear loud banging at her front door. She quickly detangles herself from his embrace, catching the displeasure in his scowl as she walks to her door. Before she can answer they all hear a very loud Quarius say, " I swear to the Celestials Neem Ina Quasar, if you do not answer this door i will break it down. I know you are home, your father has been pestering Aster for the past week about your where abouts, so open up before " Neem opens the door and ushers her friends into the apartment before she follows through on her threat. " Well ,well, well, no wonder you've been quiet. we meet again alpha prince. " Aster says in a sing song voice, smiling widely at Neem. Sosier nods his head at Aster and pulls Neem closer to him, growling when she darts out of his arms. " So catch me up, youve been holed up in your apartment with this hunk of a wolf because?..." Quarius asks as she heads to the kitchen to grab a bag if chips and dip, when she enters the room she stops in her tracks as she sees Chammomile making guacamole. turning to look back at Neem she gives her a confused look then says" Are you trying to replace us Neem cakes? im hurt." Chammomile laughs and hands Quarius the bowl of guac as she grabs a large bag of chips to place in a bowl and gets the salsa dip from the refrigerator. " why don’t we all get cozy and we can all catch each other up. Seeing as how now that Neem’s heritage has been revealed to us, we are going to be spending a lot of time together moving forward” chamomile doesn’t wait for anyone to say anything as she heads in the directions of the living room. Neem bites the edge of her bottom lip and looks at her friends in worry. Not knowing how they will respond when they hear that she is a hybrid and a weaving witch. Sosier sensing her discomfort places a hand on the back of her neck and rubs his thumb into her skin, she takes a slow breath and looks at him with soft eyes then turns back to her friends. “ Chammomile is right, we should all head to the living room , where is Vengar?” She poses the question to Aquarius who rolls her eyes and walking into the living room. “ You know how he is, sometimes he acts as King sometimes he acts like a nameless man, today he’s embodying the former and doesn’t need my or Asters presence, instead he sent me here because apparently there’s some big things in the works for the community. He’s being secretive, like usual” Aquarius shrugs but Neem can tell something about Vengar not wanting her by his side is causing her distress. So she looks at Aster hoping to get some clue as to what’s been happening with him, only for Aster to give her a suspicious look in return. “ so, are you going to serve us some tea or are we playing a guessing game” she finally says after looking pointedly at Sosiers hand on her neck and her lack of response to being so close to him. Sosier looks to her friends in confusion for a second, then Chammomile reply’s “ oh, she’s definitely serving tea because I doubt either of you will guess correctly, now bring the guacamole over here before it turns brown.” They all get comfortable in the living room as Neem paces back and forth, leaving them in suspense. *whats wrong? why arent you telling them about Ami and what your dad did?* Chammomile asks Neem through their kin bond. Neem sighs heavily and sits down next to Sosier who immediately pulls her closer into her chest rumbling in happiness that she sought out his presence for comfort. At first her friends are shocked by her behavior then they wait expectantly for her to tell them what they had missed. " Before i tell you the ground breaking news, maybe you can tell me why my dads been reaching out to you looking for me and not asking me. because ive honestly havent recieved any messages form him. " Aster raises her hand and says, " Ooh ooh me , please let me tell her first." Quarius rolls her eyes and reaches for more chips and dip. With her mouth full she says, " Aster, you only know what Venagr told you, seeing as thats who he's been harrasing." Aster pushes quaruis in a playful annoyed manner and says, " Yea well, still, since my babycakes and i are now trying out this whole pretend to be mates thing, i am now in the know of all the juicy tidbits. " Chammomile chokes on her chips and adds, " Wait, how come you dont already know about Neem, seeing as how youre ancient?" Her question is directed at Quirius who replies, " Just because im ancient doesnt mean im a nosy body, i got my own drama to deal with. " Sosier then says, " So you never knew that Neem was part wolf?" Both women stare at him with mouths agape and then look to Neem. " That makes a lot more sense now." Quarius mumbles and stands up abruptly. " OK well i cant say we are all that surprices, especially seeing as how close youve gotten to my alpha prince, but how come you didnt already know about your wolf? can i meet her? omg this is like going to change the entire world" Aster speaks then becomes alarmed at the dangers her friend will soon be facing." " Thats why i want to know what my father has been asking about, because according to my wolf he knew. He knew and trapped her away inside of me. " they all give her sympathetic looks and then Quarius says, " Hes been asking if you met with the Fiir clan, he recieved the invitation to their hiliday feast and you are names as their special guest. hes been frantically looking for you but i guess also afraid of what youve discovered now that we know you have a wolf. " " That would explain why he hasnt reached out to me directly. im surprised he hasnt come knocking yet. " Just as Neem finishes her sentence she senses her fathers volcanic magic and looks to Chammomile in alarm, Chammomile sensing her distress gets up and graps on to Sosier so thst Neem can her forest teleport them into space, hearing Sosiers annoyed response just as the shift out of the living room. Before she can stand her Father barges into her apartment to the shock of both Quarius and Aster. " Ladies, i think need a moment alone with my daughter. " He says in a deep gravely voice, barely containing his ire.
