I'm going to end the Poll on the 16th. So just a heads up guys.
Check out my writer's role play site too! This fanfic is mostly based off it! Love to have new people who understand the characters! :) It's only a little different then the actual fic. The link is on my profile.
Josh entered the Dark Room without a hundred questions, but when he saw Aeron sprawled out on the futon, he knew something wasn't right. His mate had his arm over his eyes, only looking up to Josh when the door closed again. The room was lit up by candles and oil lamps. Letting out a deep sigh, the youngest of the two walked over to the futon and sat down at Aeron's feet, he lifted them off the futon and onto his lap. "Everything okay?"
"You're dad...The Alpha I get it, must have a point in everything he does..but this. This doesn't make sense to me. He's gambling too much." Aeron confessed, he knowing if he didn't tell Josh the truth, there would be hell to pay later. But he did tell him, The Alpha wouldn't let that slide either. There was no way out of this, but Aeron couldn't see a way that didn't fit him in it either. Wasn't this what he wanted? Well, mostly, he wished he wasn't working for another person, but he got what he asked for and the only way out was if he left Josh behind. Which couldn't happen.
"Do you want to tell me what happen?"
"Yes."
"But you can't."
The two met eyes for a second, before Josh just laid his head back against the back of the futon with a groan. "I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I can't make him leave because of dad, but I can't just let him do whatever without it causing us trouble."
Moving his foot around Josh's middle, he pulled the younger boy towards him, until Josh moved to lay on top of Aeron. "This isn't your fight."
"No, but even you said he doesn't know what he's doing."
"Hey, I never said that. I just said I don't like he's gambling. I'm sure he has a reason for why the boy is still here." Aeron moved his hand over Josh's shoulders, he gave the little advice he could,, "You know, if you want to help..I can't tell you why, but make him want to stay here Josh. You should do that. Don't try to make him go home, make him understand everyone here and want to help...him leaving, will so much more harm than good."
Rolling his eyes, irritation was heard in Josh's voice when he spoke, "How's it feel to be more in the loop than the actual son of The Alpha?"
Grinning, "Are you jealous, little Raven?"
"Fuck off. I'm not even a raven anymore."
Laughing, Aeron kissed the top of Josh's head, "Jealousy of me doesn't even begin to make sense, but as for your question...This one time, I wish I didn't know anything."

Sitting at the dinner table with The Alpha, Harry wasn't really sure what he was supposed to say. Everyone was talking among themselves, it reminded him of Hogwarts with all the tables busy with their friends. The ex-gryffindor just poked at his food in front of him, while it was what looked to be insides of a potpie, Harry wasn't really feeling up to eating.
"Hey! Hey new person!"
Harry couldn't help but look up, as everyone slowly started to quiet down looking now that the young girl who was standing up on the chair to talk to Harry. As she was several people away from him, looking around the age of 5 years old. "What's your name? The Alpha didn't introduce you."
Taken back, did she just ask him what his name was? He turned to The Alpha, who was just looking on the scene in amusement. "Temp, sit down in your chair" was his only response.
"But you didn't! You always introduce them!" The little girl argued.
"Harry. My name is Harry." Harry jumped in, not wanting the little girl to get into trouble. As he had already seen The Alpha lose his temper with Aeron in his room. Or the room he woke up in at least. He didn't know what it was like with others.
"I'm Tempest Elona Rosenfelt. My dad is the Alpha and my papa is the Beta. I'm the baby. And Josh is-"
"Tempest. Sit down." Alex's voice carried to the young girl. She wrinkled her nose in response, unaffected by the Alpha in anyway.
Sitting down in her chair, she just stared at The Alpha, "There. Better? So Harry, why are you here? What are you? Are you another were? I'm not allowed to become one until I'm older..Papa said so. Josh doesn't want to be one. Which is stupid. But I think he'll be a vampire with Aeron someday." The little girl babbled on.
Harry looked at every at the table who took interest to the conversation. "I..I'm just a wizard. Sorry, nothing that exciting."
It was if that was the answer the little girl was looking for, because she lit right up, getting excited again. "That's awesome. So you're like me. I'm only a witch. Dad says I'll be a Slytherin in school."
Snorts went across the table in a rumble, everyone was mostly smiling though. Harry scrunched his eyebrows, why would a group of magical creatures care about housing at Hogwarts? Wasn't that a wizarding thing to worry about? "Papa says he's a bad influence. What do you think about Slytherins? Are you a Slytherin?"
Harry really didn't understand how this little girl didn't know who he was, he was just so used to it. Everyone knew more about Harry then Harry seemed to most days. Was it because of her age? But Hermione knew about him before Hogwarts, she was a muggleborn. Then again, Mione had always been a special case. "No. I was in Gryffindor when I was in school."
"Is that why you're here?"
Harry turned to The Alpha and his mate, what did that mean? The confusion was obvious, but no one seemed to come to Harry's rescue. "I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."
"You said you're only a wizard. So why would you be here? Everyone says Gryffindors are the brave and reckless. Unless you were turned, why else would you be here other you being a Gryffindor?" Tempest asked sincerely.
Offended and amused, Harry didn't understand what this little girl was being taught, but she did seem to be honestly curious to Harry's stay here in their home. "I don't have an answer for that, sorry. The Alpha and I talked, and we agreed that I would stay here for a little while."
The little girl raised an eyebrow at Harry, then turned to look at her parents. Either looking for confirmation or because she didn't understand, the little girl struck Harry as what Hermione must have been like when she was young. Asking a lot of questions and needing to know everything she could about everything.
"Tempest, Mr. Potter is going to stay with us for awhile, he's going to be training and such with Aeron." Even though the question was directed to Tempest, it seemed to catch the attention of everyone in the room.
"How long is awhile Alpha?" Someone spoke up and asked. Harry noticed that The Alpha moved his hand to his mate's hand, as Casey glared his plate when the person spoke up. It piped Harrys' curiosity, he'd have to see what was at some point during his stay.
"6 months to a year." The Alpha spoke plainly, paying more attention to Casey then he was to the person speaking.
Harry must have heard wrong. "What did you just say?" There was no way he could stay here that long. He couldn't.
The Alpha knew he had Harry hooked when he looked back to the ex-gryffindor. "Sorry, breaking our deal Mr. Potter?"
"You didn't tell me it would take that long."
Harry and Alex had the attention of the entire table now. Casey was the one who spoke up, "Maybe if you two need to negotiate, then you should move this to a different room?"
"Can't renegotiate the v-"
Alex cut Harry off before he had the chance to finish, "Careful! Mr. Potter."
With that note, Harry stood up, slamming his chair against the wooden table, storming off in another direction away from the dining room. He didn't even know where he was going, but he needed to get away from the group before he did do something he regretted.

Breathing heavily, Alex Humens pulled himself up tree branches that he was currently recreating an obstacle for. He had moved all the pieces to his test to their appropriate spots, when he heard someone below him. "Some show at dinner earlier."
Groaning, Alex nodded without saying much of anything in response. Looking down to his right hand man, Cellibin stood tall looking up at him a half grin and folded arms. "Fuck off."
"You think it's going to work?"
"I don't have a choice. I have to make sure it does. The boy was struggling with normal life, he needs something. We just have to give him something worth fighting for."
"You actually think he'll fight for us? He didn't seem to care earlier."
Alex jumped down from the branch he had been weighing on, standing up next to Cellibin. "We have to make him. I think have a person who can help us out too...seems to think they're connected. I have a year to work on him Cell."
"Alpha...you know I got your back, I just hope you're right."
Taking Cellibin in by the shoulder, Alex looked out to the business of the base, taking in all noise that came with it. "I got it covered. Trust me a little. He'll be turned well before the year is up."
