Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls
welcome to Dire Tactics
Oddities are individuals born with extraordinary gifts. Because of this they are hated, feared and generally persecuted across the globe. In an attempt to give them a refuge the billionaire Theodore Ashford has created Ashford Isle. Presented as a Sanctuary for the special some believe their to be much darker motives behind his generosity.
Ashford Isle
A state of the art city powered completely by renewable energy, gorgeous modern building erected against the backdrop of a tropical paradise. It has all the luxuries modern technology can afford accompanied by the natural beauty and serenity only nature can provide. This city is open to all Oddities and their families, along with several hundred A.R.I. employees, it boast a modest population of just over 5,000 individuals consisting of a mix between both human and oddity. This wonderful utopia however is shaded in mystery both metaphorically and literally. The United Nations have dispatched several fleets of O.S.E. ships near the island, this gives the coastline a ominous view.

Considering they had discussed this, he wondered what she was up to. He was indeed slowly wearing her down though, look at her lying to be alone with him and things of that nature. "I know that you know that as long as you are pregnant I can not pull you out of your time." They had discussed this at length which meant she must want something. Of course she did, they all did. "If you wanted to be alone with me Daphne that is all that you had to say." Angry Daphne and her not so hidden love for romance, he found that hilarious. "This would just be easier if you admitted that you love me." Geez, he was perfect after all. "There is nothing wrong with loving me but loving me in secret, behind my family's back sneaking away with me," he shook his head. "You felt it too then right?, when I held your hand." Ugh the gross feeling of yourself choosing someone. "It was not magic, I would not use magic on you like that I mean I would not use magic like that on you when you have told me time and time again that you do not like it." He was learning.

"I was not going to sure you would let them go because your actions have not always said that you would. It is easier to talk to you if they think we are gone because we do have things to talk about." She was still scared. "Hunter we have a live, actual being coming into the world and you have yet to speak about it." "Also I seen him, the younger you, something that you also left out for your family which that is your business but all in all, and I also believe that you could take me but you are refusing. It would not hurt the baby I would not allow that." She hated that stupid smirk on his face however. "You're still ugly so stop," she said. "Face it Hunter, we don't fall in love here." A love to kill maybe but love, love? Not on this door. "All your fault by the way," she said as she laid down. "Look don't make a big deal out of this but I need you to check my back."

He was well aware of this as he shook his head. "I'm pretty sure I know how conception works," he said as he thought about it. What was there to say really nothing. Once the kid was here he was taking the baby back to his time and raise it to be the king like it should be, or queen depending. "I'm taking the kid back, something else that we have been over." If he had any ounce of emotions maybe it could be different but he did not. "Oh yeah the lost me who is trying to get me to be good," he said as he laughed. "That kid can politely fuck off," he said. "Yes we do Daphne," for fucks sake why was she so good at pretending that she was against it. He did not like this at all. "We fall in love all the time in my time, this time is no different." He scooted away from her. "Check your back for what, it's supposed to be in your stomach by now." Okay that was a little worrisome. "It has not moved?" he asked. Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

"Well this is not your time asshole," she said. "Also relax it did it just left a scar and I figured that you could use some of your magic and fix it." She did not figure that there was anything wrong with taking a short cut as she watched him move. "Are you serious?" she asked as she looked at him and turned around. "Seriously Hunter come on it hurts, use some of your magic and fix it." She turned towards him. "If you don't fix this I will slap you in your stupid ass face," God he always made her so angry but this was different. "Don't make it weird either." Hunter Quinzell

"It's not but it's not yours either, I mean technically it is yours but this time right here and right now is ours and that is what makes this completely different from everything else either one of us has either experienced." He carefully watched her and then he looked. "It's not weird," he said as he looked it over. "Oh yeah it is okay I can fix it but it should not be done with magic, you can find or make a salve of some sort that will remain fine with it." He paused and then he spoke. "So uhm yeah Daphne," Fuck it was a lot easier when others were around. "I need to go running, goodbye." Nope, he was not going down this romantic zig zag that he could tell she kept trying to pull him in. "Stay safe and get that cream." He would not be pulled in by her, no he refused. "By the way it's not fair that you are super nice to me when no one else is around and a bitch when they are, plays with my heart strings which is once again not fair to me. I would tell on you but let's be honest they'd think I was lying." Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

"At night?" she asked as she looked at him. "You're going to go running at night?" That was laughable but maybe because it was cooler. "Fine Hunter," she said. "However you should know that I feel like I am trying like really trying to make us have some sort of communication because we are having a baby and yet you really could care less." Yet he wanted her to think that he could love someone? Please. "If you don't want the baby just say that, if your great fucking plan is just to have a kid to upstage your parents and let them see how much they screwed you up then just say that but you do not get to say that and still think that somehow you will get to be in our child's life because it is not fair and I will not have it." This was useless. "God you are stressing me the fuck out and could care less," she said. "Just go Hunter go and leave and never think a second thought about us." Not worth it at all. "I should have just listened to your father and went into hiding until the baby was born." Hunter Quinzell

He looked at her. "Of course at night," he said as he took a minute and took the time toto run his hands through his hair. "I don't want the baby," he said plainly. "Daphne come on you have to know that." He lacked emotion when he chose and right now he was shutting down everything that might tell him that he could care about her because she was too outspoken. He did not need this he needed someone he could run over so with that in mind he had to crush her here and now and end this zig zag she still wanted to pull him on. He took a second to think about how he could do this without magic and he took a second to put his hands behind his back so she could not see them start to glow which would hurt him in this instance since he had to completely smash down his true feelings. "Why would I want a child? Daphne I am as messed up as they come and honestly the child is only a play thing, something that I thought I did want but come on, you were such an easy mark and now I see now that you are going to have a kid, you and I, we don't need to raise it." He had to keep referring to it as an it because if he referred to it as a boy or a girl he knew he'd start to have feelings. "It is nothing just like it's mother," he said as he could feel the warmth from his hands. "Do be gone when I get back," he said as he looked at her. "Is that clear enough for you?" he asked as he looked at her. Like dang he felt bad truly. "I mean come on Daphne i'd kick you in your stomach right now and cause you trouble that is how much I don't want it." She needed to hate him because she was getting too close to making him break. "Is that clear enough?" Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

She hit him right in his face. Everything in her that had tried he had succesfully broke and was that something that he wanted to be proud of then he could have that too. "Well that is what I think about that" she said as she hit him in his face again. It hurt her to hit him but he had issues and those issues were causing her issues to come up. She shook her hand as she looked down at it. "Not so nice when someone draws blood on you is it Hunter?" No one was going to hear her beat the shit out of him here. "You like pain right?" she said as she looked at him. "You are nothing without your magic and even less without your words," she said as she kicked him in his knee. "Fuck you Hunter and I mean that as politely as I can say it without wanting to kill you." She did not need him. "I don't need you which is your issue to get over, not mine," she said as she kicked him again. Hunter Quinzell

NOT HIS FACE! He went down and his hands went free, touching the ground as he heard her. Wow, he was going to have to hurt her and then leave her ass in this area so that no one could find her. How sad as he felt her kick him again and again as the blood ran down across his nose and face and mouth. "You wish you could," he said as he wiped the blood off of his mouth and shot her a bird. Gosh now he was angry as he used his magic to throw her up against the tree and hold her in place. "Wow, now I have to hurt you," he said as he went up to her and wiped her face. He pulled out a slight piece of her hair and spit on it as he watched aas it turned to a dagger and he stuck it right in her right arm, and made a second one and stuck it in her left arm. "Hang around won't you? I'll be back after my run, maybe then you'll be ready to apologize to daddy." Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

"I don't want this baby!!" she yelled at him as she felt the daggers going into her arms. "Just take it out of me Hunter I don't care anymore," his magic was nothing that she could compete with and he kept using it against her. Even when she opened herself up and tried to give him a chance it was just something he used to be against her and something that she did not deserve. "Do not leave me hanging here against this tree," she said. "I hate you okay; I hate you so much and I just want my life back." She hated him doing this to her constantly breaking her heart and not caring an ounce. "Do not leave me Hunter, I will bleed out by the time you come back." Hunter Quinzell

That broke him as he looked forward and not back at her. He had nothing to say to her and he was not giving her what she wanted because why would he do that. "Then bleed out Daphne," he said as he threw his magic up in the air. "The magic will protect the baby so if you bleed out then oh well what does it matter?" he said as he turned around and looked at her now that he could fix his face to look as if he had not been affected by her words. "Die bitch see who really cares" he said as he went over and pushed the daggers deeper into her arms. "Here let me help you bleed out faster," he said as he made her look at him. "Tell me how much you want to die Daphne." Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

She took in a deep breath as she watched him and felt the magic hit her. It burned but she knew that she had to resist as much of it as she could which was not much and then he was back and hurting her more. "I'm sorry they hurt you," she said as she could taste blood coming up in her mouth. "You don't have to take it out on other people though Hunter," she said as she was getting dizzy. She did want to die though because to deal with him would be too much. "You tell me how much you hate it here first," she said. Everything about him screamed that he hated it here. Everything about him screamed that he was only here because his siblings wanted him to be. "I'm sorry that you had to sacrifice coming out of your time for your siblings Hunter and I am sorry that no one can see that but you do not allow them to see it. They are your family they love you and they can help you but they can not help you if you do not want it." Hurt people hurt people. "I don't want to die Hunter and I don't think you do either. I think you just need help and I," she needed these daggers out of her arms. "I think you were a good kid I just think you were also the chosen kid and you got the magic but I don't think your parents asked you if you wanted it. I think they assumed that you did and I think ever since that day, you've hated it and you are angry and that is your right but if you do not help me, our daughter will die." Hunter Quinzell

What the fuck? He looked at her and then he stepped back. "Shut up Daphne you do not know shit," he said to her. Yet she kept talking and it was visibly getting to him as he backed up and he wanted to just hit her in her damn face and shut her mouth up as he shook his head. "Stop trying to therapy me," he said as he stood and he screamed at her. "I don't need help, I never needed help and just because I am here in this stupid timeline stuck with you, you who does not love me, it means jack shit." A daughter? Fuck. "Lying bitch, we're not having a daughter." Why was it a girl? No, he needed to exert his male energy over another male to get it out of his system and make kings. "I make fucking kings I don't make queens," he said as he looked at her and pushed the daggers deeper until he could feel the blood flow down onto his own hands and fingers and he spoke. "I'll take her now, she'll develop with me because you don't deserve to birth her. The magic can protect her embroyotic state and I'll get to watch every part of her develop as it should." He was about to snatch her daughter from her. "Since you don't want it and all." Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell

She looked at him. "Fuck off," she said as she pulled that dagger out of her arm and stabbed him right in his neck. The magic still had a grip on her though she could feel it as it was still burning her skin as she screamed as she fell down out of the tree, her arm broken from where the other dagger was still. She had to get out of here or he was going to make her life hard as she wobbly got to her feet. She looked around for him and he still seemed knocked out. "Come on, come on," she said as she slowly began to walk and then began to run. "We have to run away," she said. He was forcing her into hiding and just the thoughts that she was going to have to do this alone were scary. She went towards the darkness and after a few minutes took a second to catch her breath as she looked down at her own hands. "Blood?" she said. She was taking a leap that this baby would protect her because Hunter was not going to let her live in peace as she put her hand up in the air and watched it shake. "Give me access to the magic," she said as she seen the difference in the color of the blood. Hunter's blood was all on her and more importantly his child was inside of her which was going to be the one thing to save her or so she believed. So she jumped into the darkness. Hunter Quinzell

Younger Hunter, about 16 watched as the butterflies rustled their wings and he felt good. They seemed so free as he felt the difference among this world. A stranger to this world, no, two as he turned around and watched the worlds slightly pulling at one another. He threw out the blanket and watched it form as the butterflies quickly fluttered over into their place. "We really need to stop meeting like this baby mom's." He went over and picked up the bowl and looked at her hands. "Put your hands in here Daphne," he said as he noticed his own blood. "We're fussing again aren't we?" He was trying but older him was a pain. "I know it seems impossible now but we do end up on good enough terms to raise, her." He could feel the good and joy that the older him was sitting on. It was a lot to take in but he was okay. "You came to me again." He felt terrible about this but he knew that this worked out because he also knew that eventually they would meet in a shaky middle and get through it, he just had to get her to that point. "Daphne talk to me. I need to know where your mind is." Daphne "DJ" Carter-Quinzell
