Nodding her head, Katie nudged Eric foward, starting the short, yet seemingly long, walk to their apartment. They had been lucky to get an apartment and it had all really been Damian and Eclipse who had gotten them the place, and it had been a combined effort on both Eclipse's and Katie's part to keep it after Damian had disappeared. At the thought of her long lost mate, Katie felt the tears start to well up, but forced them back down along with the large lump forming in her throat. She refused to cry infront of Eric or this new house guest.
Eric walked infront of his mother, but kept his ears perked at every step Gerry took. In his hand, was his toy wolf, Kaiser, who was set in howling mood, with little to no movement to his limbs as the young werewolf boy glanced back to make sure his mother and their new guest was following.
"Go on, Eric," Katie said, knowing her son really wanted to run ahead and make sure everything was safe. His run in wolf form would have to wait until Eclipse showed back up, seeing as she refused to let him run by himself. "So tell me about yourself . . . . Mister . . . . I just noticed I don't even know your name," she stated, absent mindly. [/size]

"Katie Holmes," she stated, never having changed her last name after Damian disappeared, hoping he would come back. "And my son's name is Eric and I'm sure you know his toy's name," she said, grinning, but it dying at her eyes, while also sticking to the plan of Eric acting like a typical five year old. She nodded, glancing in the direction of the Steel Mill. "Yeah. Pretty much anyone who worked in the mines came out when they were closed down and moved right on over to the Steel Mill." [/size]

Katie paused as Gerry asked what had happened to make Eden Town a shell of it's formal glory days. How could one tell someone who had been born in the town that it had been overrun by werewolves and hunters had run them all off? It had been the werewolves that had kept Eden Town alive, but with them gone, it was slowly starting to crumble away in to nothing. Maybe with Eclipse running the pack, some would return and Eden Town would be returned to it's glory. Instead of telling him all this, she simply shrugged and looked in the direction he was talking about. She nodded, just barely able to spot Eric standing o nthe second story, waving to her. She had forgotten to give him the keys before he had run off. "Yep. . . . . My . . . My husband and a really good friend got it form me when I was younger. It isn't much, but it keeps the rain off our heads and holds enough food sometimes to feed an army," she said, moving up the stairs to join her son. [/size]

"What do you want to know about Mountain Mist?" Eric asked, speaking for the second time in the evening. He turned bright golden eyes on Gerry, pinning him with an angry glare. For his shor life, Mountain Mist had been his play ground, with Eclipse and his mother being his keepers. If another person, human or werewolf came into the picture and tried to destory his happiness in the forest of in Eden Town, he wanted to know and he wanted to help rid the area of the presence.
Katie turned the door knob, after quietly slipping the keys into the lock. If the apartment owner heard them, there would be a loud arguement over Katie's inability of raising her son in a normal home. Then again, there had been several cases where Eric had shifted forms and started howling in their apartment, jsut to tick the landlady off. "Why don't we talk about this inside? I'd really hate to have to fight both of you guys and the landlady just cause you two couldn't play nicely," she said, but really aiming the last statement toward Eric. [/size]

Walking inside slowly he sighed heavily following Katie inside the home.he gracefully took a seat on the couch."it's something i dint usually like to talk about" Gerry said looking at the both of them in turn. "I'm looking for someone very important" he said grinding his teeth a little his anger apparent.
turning his body so he could lean his head on the couch he continued to speak "while on my travels i came across some rumors of certain women who went to Mountain Mist and never returned i came back as soon as possible to talk to tooley to see if the rumors are indeed true" Gerry looked at his hand "If this is true my search will be Finlay over and when i do find this person...." he looked up at the glaring with a hate "...that person is dead".

Katie listened to Gerry's reason for wanting to know about Mountain Mist, but sadly, she shook her head and locked and dead bolted the door. She turned and found Eric still watching Gerry, but now stalking behind the couch as if he was a wolf in a cage. "Eric, I think it is time for bed," she said, walking by and moving down the hall to a small closest. When she returned, she had two blankets and a pillow. They were set on the armrest of the couch, while she patted them. "You can use these to make the couch a bit more comfortable," she explained. Leaning over the back of the couch, she handed him a remote and pressed the POWER button. "There may not be much on t.v. this late, but there's that," she said, switching the t.v. off. "The kitchen is behind you, help yourself if you get hungry. Bathroom is right down the hall and first door on your left. The door right down the hall is Eric's room and mine is to the right, right across from the bathroom. SO if you need anything, don't worry about waking me and asking," she said, placing a hand on Eric's head. "Now, go brsuh you teeth and hop in bed. I'll be in in a moment," she said, leaning down and placing a light kiss on his forehead, before he ran down the hall to the bathroom."Do you need anything?" [/size]

Nodding her head, Katie sighed and glanced at the door. There was a chance Eclipse may sneak in later, so she might as well tell Gerry about him before the older werewolf scared him to death. "I'm not sure, but there may be a young man coming over. He tends to come and go when he pleases, but he doesn't mean any harm," she said, slightly lying through her teeth. Eclipse would have no problem killing Gerry and it wouldn't even ruin his day, but hopefully with Gerry sleeping on the couch, Eclipse would take it as a sign that he had been welcomed into the house, not broken in. "If by any chance he comes in, he shouldn't bother you, pass a few questions and grunts, then he'll probably fall asleep in the easy chair," she said, nodding to the only other furniture in the apartment. That being said, she turned and headed off to her room. Checking in on Eric before slipping into her favorite pj bottoms and a white tank top and cuddling up with a pillor that still smelt like Damian. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. [/size]

Gerry waved his hand at her gently tapping his foot gently on the armrest beneath his foot."i wont start any trouble if he doesn't" Gerry said focusing his eyes on the fabric from the sofa in front of him.Thinking about the things he said earlier in front of Eric made him feel almost like a monster.
"his eyes seemed hurt.... i don't know why" Gerry said to himself lowly.fixing his head again to reposition his body Gerry tried to drift off into sleep.

As the residents of the apartment settled down, Eric slipped from his room, checking on his mother's sleeping form. He stood at her opened door, watching as she cried out softly for his father and all but strangled the pillow. A short growl followed as she whimpered in her sleep, but he quickly closed the door and padded with bare feet down the hall, being careful not to wake the downstairs residents. In only his black and red checkered pj bottoms, he moved through the apartment, stopping in the kitchen for a quick glass of water, before moving into the living room. There on the couch was Gerry, asleep and unaware of Eric's movements. The wolf pup inside him drew back, unhappy with the scent of another male besides Eclipse's and his fathers, in the house, but Eric simply shhed him, before turning and moving toward the door. With a backwards glance to make sure Gerry didn't wake, he turned the lock and opened the door, wincing as the door squeaked. Golden orbs glanced back at Gerry one last time before slipping outside and shutting the door softly. [/size]

As the door opened behind him, Eric looked up, having already moved down the stairs and into the parking lot. Golden orbs glared up at Gerry as he exited his home, and a short growl left his throat. "You should go back inside," he growled.
While her son was standing outside in his pj bottoms, and bare feet and bare chest, Katie was laying on her stomach, right arm thrown across the pillow that smelt like her long lost husband. Her light snoring could have been heard throughout the house, if there had been anyone inside. [/size]
