returning home

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison drove her car to the Den, anxious to see Hunter again. It had been too long even for her.. And she wasn't the one who had to wait years. Her parents had decided to make her stay home for a couple of days before letting her go back to the clan lands. Pulling up in front of the house, she noticed a plaque that wasn't there before. "To the queen who was lost and will be found." She read to herself. "Aww, Hunter.." She whispered, hearing commotion going on around back. She started to go around to see, but suddenly a set of orbs stopped her.

[Bear_King]

The Sound of Fighting was prolific. A Roar came across and echoed through this house, all the cabins on the land, and all the trees in this area of woods. Alison did not recognize who it was, but she knew it was a powerful Alpha. She knew in her heart that it was one powerful enough to become King. She was worried until another roar answered. This one she knew to be Hunter, she felt it in her heart. Two Alphas were going blow for blow. The amount of strength being used was enough to kill humans. Each one of these blows was at that strength level. These two Bears, one was going to kill each other.

The Orbs that stopped her were James Thunder. He looked a little Older, but not much different from when he saved her life, the day that Hunter turned her into a Bear. Only difference was he now had more control over his orbing.



He caught your scent, he knew you were a WereBear and you smelled like Clan, but it had been a long time since he had seen you. He recognized your scent, but could not place it yet. "Upper Level Clan Business. No one can interfere." Then you could see in his eyes, he was starting to realize who you were.

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison looked at him. "I believe being the Queen is upper class... Oh my goodness! You've grown." She said, looking at the man who was once the young Bear who helped save her. "Time to catch up later. Let me pass to see my mate." She said softly, worried that he was getting hurt.

[Bear_King]

James Thunder looked at her, he smelled her again. He took her wrist and smelled it again. He knew based on your pheromones that you believed you were telling the truth. He had to remember. He placed the scent and knew you were telling the truth, but it had been a long time. He brought his fist to his shoulder to salute you. "You have to wait. There are things you need to know before you go out there. About 5 Years after you left, social problems started to arise in the Clan. Now there are 3 Groups. Groups like myself and my mate who is loyal to the King. Another Group that believes that the King is a fool for choosing a ghost as a Queen, many of them had never met you. It was ordered that your name never be spoken." You knew about this Order, not directly, but you knew this Order had to exist. No one told you that you were to become Queen. "The Majority of that group, would side with the King if he chose a new Queen, or you return. The Last Group do not want to betray the King, but do not want to choose sides. They would side with the King if he chose a New Queen or your returned." He smelled something else in your pheromone levels. "My Queen, before you go, may I?" He held his hand out. You did not know what he wanted, but you knew he smelled something, and he had been born a WereBear and most definitely been one longer than you.

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison nodded, letting him do what he wanted to do. "And Hunter? Is he alright?" She asked, worried for him. "Please you have to tell me, James." She said, remembering his name. "I didn't mean for all of this to happen." She whispered, feeling slightly upset about this.

[Bear_King]

He touched her stomach. He closed his eyes. Because of who his grandfather was, he could sense life. He could sense power. "Hunter has been fighting every challenge since then. If he denied a rightful challenge, he would be Loki. Our Sleuth does not tolerate Loki. The Only Good Loki is a Dead Loki. Hunter has killed them all. He is fighting the most powerful one now. I have faith in him." He kept his eyes closed. He was breathing. Then he opened his eyes, they were animalistic, and they almost glowed. "Impressive." Then to celebrate, he raised his head and put out a growl. You knew he felt something, but you did not know yet. "We have to alert the King."

[Alison Halliwell]

"James, what's going on?" She asked him, worried more about her mate. "Yeah, I want to see Hunter. I need to see him. I would have been here sooner but my parents insisted on me staying for a couple of days." She explained, waiting for him to lead her over to them. "James, I don't want to have arrived too late."

[Bear_King]

James took her through the house and out the back door. You could see the torch fires out in the woods. The Pit was the same place it used to be. They were fighting. Blow for Blow. Then someone go thrown into a tree, it shook the tree not just at the top, but at the base. From this distance you could not see who got thrown into a tree, but you knew it had to hurt.

James started to escort you off the porch. Before they were half way to the fight pit, they were confronted. The WereBear doing the confronting, if the Challenger Won, would be Tyr to the New King. He looked at James and spoke, "If it is not Thunderboy, Tyr to the Bitch King in love with a ghost. You know you are not allowed to bring Outsiders to this." He picked up James and threw him hard. He was strong. He went after Alison. Then before he could get to you. He screamed and turned around, there was claw marks on his back, bleeding, and they were deep. You realized that James somehow clawed him from almost 15 Feet Away. James could telekinetically claw him using his powers.

He went after James. James grabbed him and threw him to the ground, slamming him hard. James stood on his chest with one foot. There seemed to be Blue Energy around the WereBear's Throat. "Attacking the Ursa was a bad idea. Especially when she is carrying the Sons of the King."

The Other WereBear spat, "She is no Ursa to me." James used his powers and ripped this throat out. "I am Tyr to the Ursa and Ursus. I will do my Duty to my Sleuth." Then he walked back to you. He was colder and more efficient at fighting than he was before. He was a Man and Warrior of the Sleuth Now. "My Queen, You have a King to go save. Shall we."

[Alison Halliwell]

She nodded, looking at him for permission to run to the firepit. Deciding to anyway, she ran as fast as she could, stopping when she saw the fight. She stood there, watching. Just then James's words hit her like a ton of bricks. "Wait a minute... I'm pregnant???" She said to him, her eyes going back to the fight. "Hunter! Come on, baby. You can do this! I believe in you." She yelled out to him, causing everyone's heads to turn to her. "Uh... hi?"

[Bear_King]

James escorted her there, "Yes. I thought you knew." He took you to the fire pit. Some of the Older Generation of WereBears knew who you were when they saw you. They all stopped watching the fight, saluting you.

Then you saw Hunter, his face was covered in blood. The Challenger did not look any better. James Thunder held Alison back. Hunter yelled, "The Queen is here, I can feel her."

The Gothar of the Sleuth started talking. They spoke and they decided. They called the Fight. They Separated the King and his Challenger. One spoke, "With the Return of the Queen, there is no reason for this Challenge. The Challenger Declared his reason for the Challenge, her return invalidates that reason." Then the Challenger broke free, killing the Gothar. Then he attacked Hunter again. They fought more. Then by the End of it, Hunter lay on the ground appearing to be hurt bad. He was hurt bad.

The Challenger went after the Ursa, he spoke, "I declare an official Challenge against the so called Ursa." The look on James' face was heart break. One that the King was hurt and dying, and two with an official challenge, he could not fight to protect Alison. It was forbidden. Everyone was paying attention to the Challenger and Alison. Alison did not even have a chance to respond, to accept. The Challenger's heart came out of his chest. Around the heart was Hunter's Fingers and claws. "Welcome back, my Love."

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison smiled, going straight into Hunter's arms and healing his wounds. She didn't want to lose him so soon after getting him back. "I'm so glad to be home." She said, looking into his brown eyes. "A challenge every two months? Poor baby. How did you manage without me?" She asked him in a teasing voice. Anyone in the clan could tell that Alison was practically glowing at the sight of her love again. Not giving him a chance to answer, she kissed him, tongue and all.

[Bear_King]

Hunter dropped the Challenger and kissed her back. Even without her using her powers to heal him, he was already healing quick. He was WereBear, of all the WereCreatures, WereBears were the Strongest and Healed the Fastest. He was an Alpha, he healed faster. He was a King, he healed faster. Even that could not keep up with the number of challenges that were against him. As a Mated Pair, they were Stronger, Healed Faster, and could do more magic. He was healing faster because he was touching his queen. After the kiss was broken, the entire sleuth was kneeling before the King and Queen, saluting.

James coughed into his hand. He wanted Alison to tell Hunter what he had sensed from her. It as important.

Hunter looked at her, "I missed you." Even with her magic and Bear Magic, he was not 100% yet. He could not smell like a Bear yet. He did not know she was pregnant.

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison knew what James was wanting and she sighed, giggling. "I missed you too, Hunter." She said, snuggling in his arms. "Oh and I need to tell you this. I'm pregnant." She told him.

[Bear_King]

Hunter picked Alison up and kissed her. Then he yelled to the Sleuth, "The Queen has returned with Heir." Many in the Clan were Quiet.

James spoke up, "Twins, confirmed by Magic that they are the Kings Children, blessed by the Mother of Our Kind."

Now the Sleuth Cheered. It was a reasonable statement. The Queen leaves 25 years ago, and she comes back pregnant, they had a right to be concerned. They did not quite understand that for the Queen, it had only been a few days.

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison smiled and kissed him back, smiling softly at him. One of the bears spoke up. "Go get the female that she fought for the throne. She'll be thrilled."

[Bear_King]

Hunter looked at her, "She got killed and Eaten a long time ago. She challenged me for the Throne." Then he picked you up and cradled you in his arms. He spoke loudly to the Sleuth, "This is my Queen, the Ursa has returned. Heirs to My Name shall come."

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison smiled and kissed him, her heart beating in her chest. "I love you my dear." She said to him.

[Bear_King]

Hunter looked at her, "You are my love, you are my Queen. You were my Queen this, you were my Queen now." He did not look much older, but he did have touches of Gray. However, he was more complete, less angry and hateful than he was before you went back to the past.

[Alison Halliwell]

"Now I understand why you were being so hateful and cold towards me as a kid." She said, smiling at him. "Even when mom forced you to babysit me."

[Bear_King]

Hunter looked at you, "She tried. I never actually babysat for you. However, when you and your cousins would come over, I had to keep myself away from you. I could not be that close to you. You still smell like you. I am sorry if that hurt you."

[Alison Halliwell]

"I'm sorry you had to be put through that, my love." She said, still feeling bad that all the stuff she had watched him go through was because of her. He'd be able to tell that was what she was thinking. She placed her hand on her stomach. "So what are we going to name the twins?"

[Bear_King]

Hunter looked at her, "Pain leads to strength." When she asked what we were going to same them. "We need to take you to a Hexen first. I am careful as to what kind of things we take to mother. She is getting up there. Her last vision gave her a heart attack." His Mother was pushing 80, since Bears age a little slower/live longer, that is about the equivalent to a 40 to 50 year old human. "We could go to your Aunt, the Princess, but they are both getting up there too. How about one of your Cousins. The Phoebe's Children or even the Princess's Children." Paige's Children were Clan, because they were Henry's Children. "Prue's Children are Great Sparring Partners. However, other than Sensing Combat, this might not be their cup of Tea. Piper's Children, the Eldest is really busy. He runs around like a headless chicken and still leads you all to fight Demons. The Other Son, he goes to school, teaches, and works for Piper. I do not know about the girl."

[Alison Halliwell]

"Baby, we are going to need to have a family meeting at the Halliwell manor and tell everyone the good news." She said, smiling at him softly.

[Bear_King]

Hunter grabbed your hands. He focused his energy. He was using the Combination of Sensing Powers between the two of you. He focused. He had more experience at this than you did. He then opened his eyes, "Your Cousins are either at or meeting at Halliwell's. Your Aunt Piper is there as well. Your Uncle Leo is at magic school. Your Aunt Paige is in China. Your Aunt Phoebe is at the Office. Coop is in Brazil. We are not discussing what your Uncle John and Aunt Prue are doing. Your Father and Mother are yelling at your Younger Brother."

[Alison Halliwell]

Alison laughed, shaking her head. "Let's go to Halliwells." She said, hugging him in her arms.
