piercing icy blue eyes that matched Lily's, "Well that's something." He said before looking over at the other two guys. 
Chapter 3

Aidan followed Lily up the stairs to the second floor of the house. Lily led him
to a set of windows that looked out to the front yard and he automatically
spotted two men on the street behind a set of cars waiting expectantly for
something to happen.

Lily propped the window open a bit and eased the gun out. Closing her eyes she
took a deep breath before opening them again. Aidan watched her hesitate for all
of a second before she blew the men's heads off with two quick pulls of the
trigger. They didn't even see it coming Aidan thought.

"There's another. I can't get a clear shot from here." She whispered to him as
she peeked out the window, "Jack is going to take the shot." she murmured more
to herself than to Aidan.

Lily headed back towards the stairs when they heard a gunshot, "Sounds like Jack
got him." Aidan said making Lily grin.

"We can't stay here." Jack said once they were back in the destroyed living
room.

Lily grimaced, "This really sucks." She said and stomped to the door, "Let's
go." She said looking back at them.

"You have to come Aidan they saw you. You could be as much of a target as the
rest of us." Leo said and before Aidan knew it they were heading away from town.


"Where exactly are we going?" Aidan asked leaning forward in his seat to look at
Jack as Lily barreled down the highway going ninety.

"Depends were Lily decides to stop. We have a couple cousins in Connecticut,
well more like half an army," Jack said and paused as he thought that over, "Hey
Lily we could go grab up Naya, you know she's up for anything."

Lily thought that over. Her cousin Naiyomi or Naya as she was known to family
and friends was a bit of a hot head when it came to trigger pulling. She was
still in high school and was pulling jobs left and right. Most were assigned but
others were more classified, "We'll be there in a couple hours. She'll still be
in school and her mom won't be able to stop her."

Jack nodded and reclined back in his seat, "CT here we come!" Leo said from
where he sat next to Aidan.


4 hours later

Lily pulled into John F. Kennedy high school and parked, "If you guys want to
wait," She began and before she knew it everyone was out of the car. She
shrugged and walked inside to the main office, "Hi, My names Illium and I'm here
to pick up my cousin Naiyomi."

The secretary barely blinked before she rang the class, "She's on her way."

Minutes later a commotion could be heard coming from the main hall before a
girls voice rang out, "Look bitch if you don't get out of my way I'll make sure
you're breathing from a tube before I'm even done."

"Naya!" Jack called out and a girl who couldn't have been anymore than 17
turned. Her long black hair shined in the fluorescent lights. Her eyes a hazel
brown looked over at Jack and then flicked over to Lily before she grinned.

In her hand she had blonde hair which was attached to what could only be called
a certified bimbo. She dropped the chick and walked over to her cousins, "Lily."
She whispered before enveloping her in a hug, "What's going on?"

Lily shrugged when Naya pulled away, "A couple of things."

"You know what I don't want to know. Let's go." She said before turning and
looking back at the bimbo who was clutching her head, "Next time watch your
mouth you dumb bitch. You're lucky my cousins came." She flicked her hair away
from her face before walking over to Ari and slipping her arm through his.

Aidan was still in shock and barely noticed when they were on their way. Jack
had switched seats with him. Leo sat next to Jack while Ari sat next to Naya who
was leaning against his shoulder her head drooping every once on a while as she
drifted off to sleep.

"Naya why were you arguing with that girl?" Leo asked her turning in his seat a
bit and shooting Ari a sly grin.

"She was swearing up and down that her boyfriend and I had an 'illicit affair'
her words by the way." Naya said becoming angrier by the second before Ari
grabbed her hand making her turn and look at him with a dazzling smile.

"Haven't seen you in a while." Ari whispered with a small smile on his face.

"It's nice seeing you again Ari." She whispered to him as she blinked up at him.


Ari continued to stare at Naya before she sighed and leaned her head on his
shoulder, "You're lucky I'm into the strong silent type." She whispered softly
in his ear making Ari blush.

"What exactly happened between you two?" Leo asked looking between them making
Ari blush even harder.

"You haven't told them?" Naya asked Ari, venom dripping from her words.

"He doesn't really talk." Leo said and grinned evilly, "Even more so since that
mission you guys had together."

"Hmmm interesting." Naya said with a thoughtful look on her face, "Why don't you
tell them what happened Ari?"

"We're going out." Ari said making Jack turn in his seat to stare him down.

"What!" Jack said followed by, "Oww." When Lily turned in the drivers seat,
making the car swerve before Aidan grabbed the wheel, so she could slap him
across the back of his head.

"You heard him Jack," Naya said with a grin, "Besides he's my 'best friend' and
not even my mom said anything about it when she met him last month."

"So that's why you were gone?" Leo said with a laugh making Ari blush even more
making him look like a tomato.

"Yeah. I was visiting. I did make a promise and unlike you dumbasses I follow
through with them." Ari said narrowing his eyes at everyone.

"Shut up." Lily said as she drove through the toll booth, "Keeley has problems."


"So does Meredith but we're not allowed to say anything about it." Jack said
with a shrug.

"I like Meredith." Naya commented from the back seat, "She has victory on her
side." she said as if quoting it from an actual source.

"Blake is scarier than her." Leo said with a shudder.

Lily shook her head and glanced at Aidan. He had a confused stare on his face as
he looked them over, "What's a toll booth doing way out here?"

Lily smiled softly at him, "Don't worry too much about it." she patted his arm
before making a sharp turn into the forest suddenly the forest opened up and
houses built into the trees or made completely out of tree trunks could be seen.


Lily made another turn and there was a large marble castle. It gleamed in the
morning sun. Naya was literally bouncing in her seat, "Lily pull over. I'll meet
you there." She said and when Lily pulled over Naya literally jumped out with
Ari right behind her. They ran into the forest while Naya stripped off her shirt
along with her pants.

Aidan stared after them and shook his head, "They'll meet us there." Lily said
and kept going.

When they drove through the gates Aidan knew he was in another world. There was
a woman waiting on the front steps with a baby in her arms, a few seconds later
Naya and Ari stepped out of the forest with dirt smeared on their faces, "Lily."
the woman called out and when Lily stepped out of the car the baby was thrust
into her arms.

"Blair, you had a baby." Lily said as she nuzzled the baby's cheek.

"His names Colton." Blair said with a chuckle.

"Bad ass name." Jack said as he looked over the newest addition to the family.

"Yeah we know." A man said walking out of the large castle, "Meredith was a bit
miffed we didn't name him Atlas, but really like I would name my kid after my
dad, the great god of strength."

Blair burst out laughing, "Grandma should've known better."

"Especially with a former slayer and the leader of the greatest wolf pack known
to the supernatural." Jack said making Aidan stare at him.

Lily smiled before slipping her hand into Aidan's and leading him inside,
"Meredith." Lily said when a woman who couldn't have been anymore than 19 walked
up to them.

"Lily I haven't seen you in a while. Did you see that horrid toll booth Keeley
insisted we set up?" Meredith asked with a frown.

Lily laughed and nodded, "I wanted you to meet Aidan." She said shifting so
Meredith's eyes landed on Aidan.

"Oh so you're the reason Jack and Lily lost out on 2 million dollars." Meredith
said with a grin.

"Apparently." Aidan said dryly making Meredith laugh.

"I like him." She said to Lily, "Blake should be in his office. I can't believe
after all these years my children are still running me ragged and now I have a
great grandchild. Do I look old enough to even have great great grandchild?" she
asked Aidan who shook his head and made Meredith laugh, "I know you're a bit
confused but Blake is a lot better at explaining all of this."

Meredith led them to an office on the first floor and walked in without
knocking, "Meredith." the man behind the desk said as he stood before seeing
Lily, Jack, Aidan, Ari, Naya and Leo, "What are you guys doing here. Did Keeley
put you on leave?"

"Not me." Naya said with a smile.

"Blake I need you to do a favor for me and don't say no or you're sleeping on
the couch." Meredith said as she wrapped her arms around Blake's neck and pulled
him in close
