Out from The Woodwork [Open]

[Jordan Chambers]

Jordan had somewhat been on hiatus the past few months, she had been busy doing variously things with Wesley but at the same time for a good few weeks she had not seen him. Jordan had recently gotten a job as a bartender at a bar in Port Angeles and actually was very good at it. She enjoyed hearing all the various stories from the people around the area and it was also a good way to stay up to date on some of the deaths that had been occurring. The Children of the moon were still running amuck and it had gotten the people of forks in a quiet a stir. Jordan had not heard anything from her pack members but she assumed Jacob and the rest of them were communicating with The Cullen’s. Just then she picked up a scent that was very familiar and strong. She looked up from making a cocktail and set to on the bar for a costumer to enjoy. “Out of all the places you would think they would not hang around here for a drink.” She said to herself as she turned to clean out a few more glasses. “Can I help you?” she said in a soft voice “Bloody Mary maybe?” a grin spread across her face and laughter flickered in her eyes. “How kind of you to offer; but I think I will pass.”Ashlan said with a grin, his golden eyes lit up as soon as he sat down at the bar.

“ shouldn’t you be hanging around a hospital or something?” Jordan asked leaning in closer. Ashlan bit his lip and turned to the woman that was sitting next to him. “I’m a Doctor.” He lied. Ashlan looked back at Jordan. “ For you information, I have come back to help out on a few-.” Ashlan paused and then turned to the women beside him who was ease dropping. “ I been on Vacation in Ireland and now I’m here to help out with the overflow of patients.” He said looking back sternly at Jordan who looked like she was going to fall over in a fit of laughter.

“Are you sure you don’t want to bloody Mary?” Jordan asked again, her voice ringing with delight. “No thank you.” Ashlan said trying to keep his cool. The women who was obviously bored of the exchange of words between Jordan and Ashlan picked up her drink and went wondering off to a table where a few men had been looking her over. “ Why are you here?” Jordan hissed. “I’m not in the mood to play explain what been going on over the past month.” She added. Ashlan held up his hand. “I know what’s going on, you don’t need to explain it to me. I just want to know how many.” Jordan rolled her eyes. “ How am I supposed to know this? I don’t hear anything from anyone lately. It seems you have not been the only one on hiatus.” “So you know nothing?” he asked in a discouraged tone. “Gee, Thanks you have been a lot of help.” He grunted. “ Why are you here anyway? and how did you know I work here?” Ashlan got up from the bar and looked at Jordan with a smile. “ Believe me your going to have to put on a hell of a lot more perfume to cover up that smell doll face.” Jordan could have phased right then and there to teach that vampire a lesson but she had enough sense to not blow her cover at the bar, even if she and him were currently the only sober ones.

As Ashlan was leaving his seat he picked up on a scent that was unfamiliar. Looking back at Jordan her could see her eyes narrow in on a young man that had just entered the bar. Ashlan knew that she was thinking the same thing he was. “Do you think…?” Ashlan did not have to finish his sentence because Jordan finished it for him. “Well he not from the La push pack.” She said looking at him. “He did not wander here on accident I’m sure of it. He is challenging us.” Jordan continued. A low growl escaped Ashlan lips as he began to walk to the table where the man was. “Ash!” Jordan said quickly causing him to turn around. “ I’m surprised you know my name.” he said in a bitter tone that most likely came from the hatred that was rising directed towards Ross who was well aware they had both caught on to his visit. “ You cant do anything stupid.” She said eyeing the various costumers that were about the bar. “ I’m just going to chat.” He said trying to keep his cool.

“ May I join you.” he said in a low roar as a smile spread across Ross’s face. “ I thought you would never ask.” Ashlan sat down never taking his eyes off Ross. “Who are you?” “I think you very well know who I am.” Ross said with a laugh. “Why are you here?” Ashlan asked his eyes flickering with anger. “To a deliver a message to The Cullen’s; we are ready whenever they are.” Bearing his teeth Ashlan leaned in closer to Ross. “Then why didn’t you try tell them yourself.” “ I have been having a hard time getting a hold of them.” he said angrily. “ I could kill you right here and now. I don’t care who is watching.” A smirk spread across Ross’s face. “ I would gladly die for the safety of my pack. I’m only one road block in your journey. There are more of us you know.” “We will see about that.”

As Jordan watched what was unfolding at the table across the bar between Ashlan and Ross he made several drinks for a group of college kids that had just wondered in the bar. They were obviously drunk by the time they walked in and Jordan gave a low sigh as she began to make them Jagerbombs and Sour Apples. Jordan would have been able to normally make out the conversation that was taking place between Ashlan and Ross but the drunken college students were plenty enough to distract her from doing so. Jordan tried to catch Ashlan’s attention several times but with no luck.

Jordan had to catch herself from letting out low growls several times because of the anger she already felt for the child of the moon. Jordan would have phase right then and there if she had known her job would not be on the line. “Ash.” She said calling to him knowing that he looked like he was about to snap Ross in half right then and there. “Ash, can you come here for a second?” she called again.

“You might want to go over to your distressed pup bloodsucker.” Ross sneered. “You don’t have to worry about anything, I am sure we will be seeing you again. Just make sure you pass the message on.” Ross said getting up from his seat before turning and walking out the door. Ashlan rolled his eyes and with a deep sigh ran to the bar wanting to completely chew into Jordan. “What the hell is your problem?” he said looking at her coldly. “I don’t care if they are all surrounding the bar you know as well as I do that we can’t do anything until we talk to the Cullen’s. Killing one now will only fuel the fires, who knows if they are still recurring members for their pack.” She said looking at him stearnly as she passed out another drink to a man who looked gone. “Movie lines.” Ashlan said looking over at the group of college students were watching Jordan and his exchange of words. “Frankly Jordan, I don’t give a damn.” He said sarcastically before looking back at her with a grin. “Call your sister, maybe she might be able to talk some sense into. You know she been going nuts ever since you left. Don’t worry about anything until we have the ok from the Cullens I would hate to want to think we have to chase you down too.”

Jordan was speaking the truth Ashlan did want to take the law into his own hands, but he knew just as well as Jordan that it would be best once the game plan was spoken by the rest of the Cullen’s. “Think smartly Ash.” She said leaning over with a frown. “Even if you don’t have a heart.” She grunted. Ashlan gave a smile and look a breath. " Thanks i own you even if you smell like wet dog." he said as he gave a laugh. Ashlan was thankful that Jordan was there to at least stop him from making a real big mistake. " Try to contact Jacob tonight with your mind powers or something ok, we can't keep holding this stuff off when they are walking into our bars and making threats." he whispered.
