 Elder Quad
Axel nodded at Benji and Elissa as his face dropped. "Blair-," he placed a hand on her shoulder as she began to walk into the living room, "-I'm so sorry. You've...no idea what we've gone through today. I'd love for you to help us. We need all the help we can get," he said weakly. He did not meant to snap at her like that and completely regretted it, especially after the way Ben looked at him. All he wanted was to be close to him again and shooting off his mouth was not going to help the situation. Especially after Elissa had just reprimanded them. Man, Finn was going to pay for that later.
Finn nodded as he listened to Blair after his wife completely scared the bullocks out of him, while admiring the way his cousin was so calm and collected as he apologized. He then turned his twilight blue eyes on the young woman as she began to explain her plan. He was thoroughly impressed. "I'm game," he said with a nod. Eli was right; there was no point in holding old grudges when people came back to help you. True, he still had to be cautious, but this was Blair's brother after all.
Chloe nodded in agreement with Elissa as she moved to stand next to Blair. "Sorry for the death stare I gave ya earlier," she chuckled lightly. "We really do want ya 'elp. Please," she said sincerely. Her honey colored eyes showed nothing but pure hope as she followed everyone into the living room, Finn's arm around her shoulder. "So, wha's the plan? Will we be 'elpin' ya some'ow?" She was clearly interested now as she sat on the couch and gazed up at her. This was definitely going to be interesting.
Axel followed everyone into the living room, but he sat in a far corner. In truth, he was extremely glad that Blair had come to help. Otherwise, what would they have done, seriously? They had no way of finding him. Axel had learned how to track people, but he was so frazzled it would be impossible for him to get it right. His hands instinctively ran through his messy brown hair as she exhaled quite loudly. This was getting too out of hand and Axel felt helpless. Once again, he felt helpless. It was Angelina's house all over again.
Finnegan moved quietly to his wife's side, but kept his distance. She, clearly, was in no mood for anyone to bug her at this moment. And he knew he was one of those people. So instead he leaned against the wall, occasionally stealing glances at her and Axel as he felt the tension in the room subside slightly. That was definitely a good thing.
Leaning back on the couch, Chloe sighed and closed her eyes as she began to breath deeply. Usually, this helped her calm down. Seriously, what had come over her today? She had punched someone and she gave another person a death glare. This was definitely not her day. She hardly felt like herself and it was starting to show how much she actually hated that.
Finally regaining a small portion of his brain, Axel looked up. "Yes, please. Tell us what to do. We're pretty much desperate here." His voice was pleading, he had absolutely no idea what to do anymore. This was all too much for him. His whole world had been flipped upside down in a matter of hours and he had no way of fixing it. |
