Welcome to Gaia! ::

What is up mannn??? [:
I'm finally done with moving in!
The new house is still kind of a mess but its a huge progress from what i was.
AND I finally have internet set up [:
Are you still into this rp? Or wanna move on?

Oh trust me it was torturous for me not having internet. I was at school like 24/7 because most of my homework is due online :/ soo I needed the school's internet to get stuff done.
Alright! So let me get a refresher her....

Colette's eyes were a little widened from shock and confusion. Her mouth was slightly parted and she was breathing hard. She closed her eyes and leaned against the wall to steady herself.
Why tha hell was Jack being so calm about this? They have a body on their hands now. Well, they have had other bodies on their hands before that they had to dispose of and Colette got used to her job, but this was different. Van told Colette things that she couldn't shake. This was no ordinary death, there is something behind this whole thing and Colette finally believed Van when he mentioned that things are about to get ugly.
Unfortunately Van didn't make it long enough to tell Colette the full story but something had to be done to ensure no one else got hurt.
Colette opened her eyes feeling calmer now. She looked over at Jack as he carried Van over to the other cell.
"Jack....I think we're way in over our heads here. I don't think this is a case like you've had before, and I'm practically useless because I'm so new to this supernatural scene. I wouldn't just leave him in there nor would I recommend staying here any longer. You don't have to believe me and you may even think I'm going crazy, but....something bad is going to happen. Something I'm not sure we can handle" Colette commented.

"I'm not saying we should give up or that I'm giving up. I just have a bad feeling. Women are usually right about these things" Colette tried to add some light humor to her words to try and hide her nerves, but she knew her smile she was trying to make appeared more than crooked so she let it go. Maybe Jack is right, maybe she just needs to get out of the basement and go take a breath.
"...I guess you're right, I probably just need some air" Colette answered Jack's proposal and turned to walk up the stairs stopping mid way. "I know you don't like to quit things, but thanks for trying to make a promise" Colette added with appreciation in her voice and continued up the stairs. Even if he didn't mean it it was nice to hear at the particular moment.
Colette decided to go for a run, maybe the cool evening would air her brain out.

Before her run, Colette laid in bed tossing and turning trying not to think about anything negative. She could hear Jack and his friends doing whatever it is guys do when they get together. It still slightly annoyed her that Jack was being so calm about this whole thing, but maybe that was just his way of handling things.
After a failed attempt at a nap Colette got off the bed feeling more tense and stressed than she originally was. She changed into some workout clothes and put on her tennis shoes to go for that run she was planning for.
As she got outside she took a deep breath and took off in a jog down the street. Jack's house was in a nice calm neighborhood so the chances of Colette being bothered were slim.
Colette ran through Jack's neighborhood and decided to go to the town's park to run through the trails there. As she was waiting for the stop light to turn green so she could cross the street something caught her eye.
It was a car that had its windows rolled down and a few men were sitting in it chatting away. Something about those men looked familiar and Colette missed the green crossing light because she started at them so hard. Then it hit her and all the blood drained from her face. She remembered the pictures in the file. The men in the car were them the rest of the shifters that Van used to hang out with.
Colette didn't want to jump to conclusions but Van did mention that they would find him if they needed to so she couldn't think of another reason why they would be in this town.
Colette turned quickly on her heels and ran back in the direction of Jack's house. She patted her pockets to check for her phone but then remembered that she left it back at the house because she didn't want people to bug her.
Annoyed at the fact that she could really use her phone at the moment to warn jack, Colette ran as fast as she could and hoped she would make it back in time.

Colette had no idea where all this energy was coming from. She was sprinting down the street like shes been running marathons since birth. It has been years since she ran like this but she decided to blame it on the adrenaline from fear that was pumping through her veins.
When she neared Jackson's house the adrenaline started to subside as she saw Sam, Jack's friend, come outside to meet her. She ran up to him and grabbed his shirt with both of her hands to ensure she didn't collapse. She breathed heavily and looked down for a second to try and catch her breath.
"Sam....the other shifters....they're...HERE. Tell Jack!" she let out between breaths and slightly shook Sam with the last words she spoke and let go of his shirt when she saw Jack coming.
"Jack! They're here! They're in town! Just like Van said. They're probably here for him.....and for us" Colette told Jack what was going on and with the last thing she said she swallowed hard. Honestly she couldn't place it why she was so afraid all of a sudden, she usually doesn't get spooked easily, but alas here she is shaking like a chihuahua.

(LOL! psycho runner xD that was a pretty funny post)

Colette looked from Jack to Sam and their faces were pretty easy to read. They had to have been thinking that she lost her marbles. This offended her, "I am NOT crazy! This is a legitimate concern. But fine, whatever do what you want" she responded and began to walk into the house in an annoyed fashion.
She felt Jack and Sam follow her inside as if they were afraid she was going to off herself or something, this annoyed Colette further.
She plopped down on the bed, hugged her pillow and turned away from the boys. If Jack was going to be so calm about this she was just going to let it go and stay out of their way for now. Although the way she reacted she was more than likely going to get a babysitter once Jack and Sam leave.
When they did her prediction was true and Samantha ended up staying behind. Colette wanted to tell her that she could leave because its not like there are any near by cliffs she could jump off of or anything, but she felt Samantha's annoyance burn a hole in the wall and Colette just stayed put. It seemed that she was now becoming more of a nuisance to everyone than anything else.
Was agreeing to help Jack even worth all this? Guess she will find out one way or another.

Colette felt like she was put on house arrest for a possible suspicion of being mentally ill. All she needed now was a straight jacket to keep her crazy arms in place.
Bitter and still annoyed, Colette stayed in the room wondering whats going to happen next. She wondered if the ghost was still in the house and if Van really is dead. She also wondered about the bracelet he mentioned and what on Earth did it have anything to do with anything that is going on, besides the ghost being out on the loose.
Since Colette had so much extra time on her hands now she decided to rummage through some stuff, maybe she would find something useful. As she started to look through the drawers in the room, every nook and cranny of the closet, inside of books, she didn't find many useful things. In fact she wasn't even sure what she was looking for anymore, she just wanted this whole confusing situation to be over.
Before she knew it Samantha knocked on the door and opened it apologizing for whatever was going on. Colette was surprised that she didn't find her crazy like everyone else did. At Sam turned to leave Colette stood up off her spot on the floor and walked to the door pausing for a moment as if wondering if she is actually free to go. She then proceeded into the living room and watched as Sam grabbed the last sprite out of the fridge as she said she would.
"Uh..thanks, for not thinking that I'm crazy too" Colette said with appreciation and slight embarrassment.
