I own nothing!!!
Cote De (pronounced Cody)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cote De woke up to her twin brother pulling on her arm. He pulled her off the bed and she ended up in a tangled mass of sheets and comforter. 'DAMMIT JAYCE!' She thought knowing full well that he could hear her thoughts.
'SHUT UP' He sent back as he grabbed a pair of jeans and a black sweater. "Someone or thing triggered an alarm." He explained.
He didn't have to say another word. She quickly grabbed the sweater from him and threw it over her tank top, before pulling on her jeans, which was a little more difficult since she was sitting on the floor. "Where are the others?" She asked talking about their family.
'DAD AND UNCLE KEN TOOK THE TRAIL, THE REST ARE WORKING THEIR WAY TO THEIR POSITION' He told her through telepathy.
'THEN GET ON YOUR WAY' She told him as she walked towards her window slowly, searching the forest for any heat seeking signatures. She seen none and her sense for smell and echolocation told her no one was in sight of her window. 'I'M ON MY WAY' She told her parents, brothers, cousins, aunt and uncle.
'HURRY IT UP SLEEPYHEAD' Her dad Jack Norton told her. She could feel that that he was grinning at her.
Cote De Norton opened her window and jumped out of the window, swinging up on to the nearest tree. She climbed the tree about ten feet, before pushing off from the truck and flipping over backwards to the next tree. She landed on what her dad and uncle called a tree cancer. She laid on the sniper stand on her stomach and picked up her rifle that was in the waterproof case under the stand. She lifted the scope to her eye and scanned the forest in the direction of where the alarm was tripped. She blinked her eyes a few times and everything became blue/green, except the heat signatures that her family gave off aswell as.. 'THREE INTRUDERS' She warned her dad. 'CAN'T SEE FACES YET, GIVE ME A MOMENT THEY ARE WALKING INTO MY LINE OF SIGHT' She explained. The first one walked into her view. She laughed 'DAD IT'S GATOR' She told him. 'AND HIS WIFE AND I THINK KADAN' She informed them.

"THANKS' Jack Norton told his youngest. He stepped out on to the path that had been made by well worn use. "Gator. What brings you here?" He acquired. He seen Gator react quickly, along with the young man who followed behind Flame. "Hey Flame, R.J." Jack greeted.
"Let me guess Ken is out there with my head in his target zone." Gator stated. "Aslong as it's me and not them." He stated, slightly threatening.
"Actually it's Cote De." Jack told him smirking.
"Even Worse." Gator replied laughing. He waved off to the left, having no idea where exactly she was. He looked over at Jack with a serious expression. "We have trouble and neither you or your brother will answer your phones or radios." He explained.
'I'M BRING THEM TO THE HOUSE. ANY COMPLAINTS?' He asked his family telepathically. No one replied so he took it as a go. "Come on up." He told them, leading the way.
"You all sure like your privacy." R.J. commented as they came to the porch where Briony,
and Mari were waiting to greet them. Ken was behind them.
"Hi Flame." Briony and Mari greeted at the same time.
"This is what happens when you get too much privacy." Cote De told them, as she climbed over the railing of the porch.
"Use the stairs next time." Briony scowled her.
"K Mom." She told her as she sat on the rail.
"Hey Cote De." R.J. stated grinning at her.
"Hey Cajun." She replied. "What brings the three of you to our little slice of paradise?"
She asked.
"Why don't you and your brothers and cousins go inside." Ken told them.
"Join them if you want R.J." Jack invited.
"Thanks." R.J. told them as he followed them inside.

They all sat in the entertainment area on the many couches and chairs. "So why are you and your parents here?" Jake asked.
Jake and Cameron were the oldest set of twins belong to Jack and Briony Norton. They had just turned twenty-two. Then there was the youngest set Jayce and Cote De who were sixteen.
Ken and Mari Norton only had two children, twins. Marcus and Matthew were a few months younger then Jake and Cameron.
"They came to ask for some help." R.J. told them, sitting down in the chair beside the couch where Cote De was laying on.
"For what?" Cote De asked.
"Nico Trevane has been captured." Ken Norton told them as he and the others came into the room. They all decided long ago not to keep anything from their kids.
"Is he okay?" Cote De asked, sitting up.
"No ones heard anything. So no news is good news." Gator replied.
"So when are we going?" Matthew asked, standing up.
"You no where." Jack told him. "Only your father, Jake, Cameron, and I are going on this one."
Matthew sat down, grumbling in his mind. "Don't kick the puppy." Cote De stated, grinning at Matthew. Everyone laughed. Matthew threw a pillow at her. She caught it. "Thanks." She replied, flipping it over her head and leaned against it. Her cousin shook his head.
Flame and the kids are coming up here to stay. We think it will be safer and the more man power the better." Jack informed them. "Marcus you and Matthew will go back with us to Gators' to get the kids and bring them back here." Jack explained.
It took them an hour to grab all their gear and to be gone down the road. Briony and Mari stood on the porch for a few moments, with their arm wrapped around each other. It was what they did whenever their husbands left them to go on a mission. "They'll be back." Cote De reassured them, sticking her head out the window. "They wouldn't dare leave you two." She told them, grinning.
They laughed. "Thanks Cote De." They replied, grinning at the spot they last seen their husbands.

It had been six days since Flame and her three youngest came to stay with them. It was peaceful from where Cote De laid. She was laying on the roof looking up at the stars. It was past midnight and everyone was asleep. She heard them from up there. She stayed out for another hour before climbing off the roof into her second storey window. She sank on to her bed and slept until alarms started going off in all directions around the house. She sprang up and pulled on a pair of jeans. She was pulling on her sweater as she walked out into the hall. Flame and her three were standing with mom and Aunt Mari looking confused. Cote De walked to the end of the hall and scanned the forest.
'GET TO THE TUNNEL AND TAKE AUNT BRIONY, FLAME AND THE YOUNGER KIDS WITH YOU' Matthew told her as he ran past them to the other side of the hall. 'MARC ANYTHING?' He asked.
Cote De slid the window open snuffing any sound from carrying. She leaped to the tree across from the window and made her way quietly to her rifle. She took the scope to her eye and scanned the forest. She seen her cousins and brother out there aswell. Movement to the left of Jayce caught her attention 'DOWN JAY' She commanded. She aimed at where the heat signature was,
she pulled the trigger just as Jayce hit the ground. 'THEY HAVE THE PLACE SURROUNDED' She informed them. What she liked about her spot was she could see everything, but it was difficult to see her. 'OVER TWENTY, WITH ABOUT ANOTHER SIXTEEN STANDING BY' She told them.
'LETS RETREAT THEN, COTE DE COVER FIRE UNTIL WE GET TO THE HOUSE. WARN THEM WE ARE COMING' Marcus commanded.
'ON IT. JAYCE BACK TRACK' She told him watching out for her twin. She took a shot killing a man who was in her brothers way of retreating back to the house. 'MOM?' She asked, sending the message in one direct away from anyone trying to intercept.
'YES' The answer was faint, trying to keep the energy flow low.
'HEADS UP, WE ARE COMING YOUR WAY THROUGH THE TUNNEL. DON'T ENTER ALARMS WILL STILL BE UP' Cote De told her mom.
'GOT IT' Her mom sent.
'MATT YOUR TURN' She told him, as she watch Jayce enter through the garage window. It was the most secure spot to make a stand. 'ALL CLEAR' She told Matt, watching him as he made his way to the garage door. By the time Marcus made it to the garage Cote De had taken out six more of them. They were now starting to look in the trees for her. Now was the hard part, getting herself to the garage. She knew her cousins and brother would lay down some cover fire, but she could tell that more then half of the men were enchanced. 'I THOUGHT MANIAC WHITNEY WAS DEAD?' She asked them.
'HE IS. WHY YOU THINK HE HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?' Marcus asked surprise in his mind. 'OKAY KID YOUR TURN'
'MY WINDOW' She answered. She left her rifle and took out two hand guns. She moved slowly so she was standing with her back to the tree trunk. She slowly and silently moved down the tree.
So that she was at the junction of the branch across from her bedroom window. She had left it opened for this very reason. She was about to jump from where she stood through the open window.
She pushed off the trunk and knew she calculated the jump right, until a hand shot out from her left side and caught her ankle. The soldier fell out of the tree and his added weight and gravity took her with him. She hit the ground hard, the wind knocked out of her, her guns scattering She was wheezing when the soldier climb on top of her, trying to pin her down. 'GET OUT OF HERE'
She told them. 'I'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU' She told them trying to the keep the lie vibe -her older brothers called it that, not her- from her thought.
'JAYCE AND MATT ARE PULLING BACK. HURRY UP KID' Marcus replied.
'GO MARC' She commanded, as she knocked the man off of her. She scrambled to her feet, and veered to the left. Another man came out and tackled her like a footballer. She swore.
'WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?' MARC asked.
'GET OUT I'VE BEEN MADE AND THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM FOR US TO TAKE' Cote De told him.
'I NEED YOU WITH THE OTHERS OR I COULD KILL YOU' She warned him.
She heard him swear in his thoughts. 'FINE, BUT STAY IN TOUCH DAMMIT' He told her.
"Well look at the girlie here." The man who tackled her stated, smirking at her. "Ain't she a pretty one."
She glanced at the knife at his belt. She couldn't reach hers since it was at her back,
and the man was saddling her. "Ain't you a dead one." She answered, right before she grabbed the knife and slammed it through his throat. Blood ran down the knife and her arm. She threw him off her and jumped on to her feet. She still held the knife as others surrounded her in a circle. Their control told her they wanted her alive. 'YOU SAFE?' She asked Marcus.
'YES BUT YOU AREN'T' He told her.
'ACTUALLY THEY WANT ME ALIVE' She told him.
She heard him laughing at her in her head. 'WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THEM. TALKING ABOUT MA GRIZZLY' He told her.
'SHUT IT NEED TO CONCENTRATE' She told him as she watched the men. What she needed was more violent energy, but she doubted she would get it. Unless she provoked them. "Well are we just going to stand here or is one of you going to man up?" She asked sounding bored.
"Come with us and we won't hurt you." The man directly to the left of her commanded.
"Come and get me." She told him, holding the knife defensively. "You seem to be incharge.
Come on take charge to the situation." She told him egging him on. The sad thing was it was working. She took a deep breath and smelt the annoyance and wanting violence off all of them. She allowed the energy to come to her and she took it and released the energy slowly. She seen the affect on them, they were all becoming violently ill. She jumped into the tree as shots were fired. She winced as one clipped her arm. She climbed higher then started tree jumping.
'BRIONY!?'
'MARI!? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?' Uncle Ken Nortons' thoughts commanded.
'DON'T COME HERE, PLAN B' Cote De intercepted. 'THE LONG WAY OR YOU'LL GET VIOLENTLY ILL'
She warned.
'WHERE ARE YOU?' Her Dad asked concerned.
'TREES' She answered.
'WHAT GOING ON?' Marcus asked her.
'DADS HAVE JUST RETURNED AND ON THEIR WAY TO YOU' She told him. She got behind the soldiers, between her family and them. 'PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE CLEAR. IF I DON'T GET RID OF THE ENERGY..' She left the thought end since they all knew what would happen. She already felt the blood running out of her nose.
'LET IT GO' Her Dad told her.
She allowed the energy to escape, pushing it forwards and out, not allowing it to go behind her towards her family. She heard the screams of men dying, and then the violent energy backlashed at her. 'WE'RE CLEAR' She told them, before fainting.
