Architectural Charm of Dunwoody Townhomes

Dunwoody is a historic city with significant features and a relatively modern feel. Developed during the early nineteenth century, it has evolved from a simple rural town into a vigorous suburb.

Even though Dunwoody is one of Atlanta's newer cities, most buildings, especially the townhouses, have an old-world feel and are built in traditional architecture—most of them have a red-brick frontage.

Dunwoody townhomes are not just homes to people; they are more than that: they represent the development within the area over the decades.

The architectural style of these homes grew to represent the city's culture, embracing the historical and modern worlds. Such appearances contribute to the specific atmosphere, which gives the town a particular flavor, making Dunwoody unique among other suburban cities.

One of the unique characteristics of Dunwoody townhomes is that some of these traditional townhouses have brick façades. These townhomes have a conventional design: brick faces, pitched roofs, and well-maintained yards. These homes are built to give a classic outlook infused with the amenities of the pre-existing era.

Spacious Layouts

Dunwoody townhomes can be huge and have the necessary space for any living situation. Depending on the density of the families living in such homes or the number of guests you are expecting, these homes provide leeway in adapting the house layout.

Some townhomes have multiple-storey facilities that offer designated areas for families to mingle, leisure, and social functions.

Modern Amenities

Although the exteriors of Dunwoody townhomes are in the conventional English style, the insides have the latest amenities. Newer model amenities include modern, upgraded 'mudrooms' featuring stainless steel appliances, opulent bath accommodations, and airy dining and living areas.

These homes combine traditions with the comfort of the present and are perfectly suitable for modern families.

Prime Locations and Convenience

Perimeter Center

This market area includes various shops, restaurants, and other recreational facilities for youths and families. A few townhouses are located near Perimeter Center, within smooth walking or driving distance to the nearest shopping arcades, dining establishments, and theaters.

Brook Run Park

This park is excellent for outdoor recreational activities. It is located behind the townhouses in Dunwoody.

This extensive park includes parkways, children's playgrounds, and sports facilities. It provides a natural environment devoid of hooting and other traffic-related noise, making it one of the best places for family picnic events and related activities.

Dunwoody Village

Residents prefer an excellent time there because of its nice small-town-like feel. The society and other village residents can engage in shops, cafés, and other activities.

Amazingly, even though many of the buildings in the area are commercial, Dunwoody Village residents have a shot at being community members and can feel that they live in a lively one.

Perimeter Mall

This mall has sweet shops, fast food outlets, departmental stores, and many other thinking capitals, and it is a significant attraction for those who love shopping.

This colossal mall is located near this area and is a shopper's haven, complete with different food outlets and amusement rides. It can also be viewed as a plus that Dunwoody now has such a mall nearby.

Community and Lifestyle

The townhouse units in Dunwoody are located in a compound promoting community living. The following are some well-planned residential areas with attractive and efficient community facilities that prove the city's passion for delivering the community a high quality of life as a service.

Award-Winning Schools

Another factor for the location is that Dunwoody contains several high-ranked schools. These award-winning educational facilities give individuals interested in living in this region an extra advantage because of the quality of children's education.

Lush Parks and Recreation

Besides Brook Run Park, the city boasts the following physical facilities for parks and recreation centers. Green spaces are vital in improving people's quality of life as they provide functional open spaces for recreation, leisure, and social purposes.

Local Attractions

In addition to the parks, shopping centers, and novelty centers, Dunwoody encompasses numerous sightseeing attractions and an exciting life. Besides, there is never a dull moment regarding cultural programs, social get-togethers, or other community celebrations in Dunwoody.

Future Developments and Growth

In the following years, several future developments are expected to improve Dunwoody's attractiveness as the city progresses. Reliance on infrastructural development, public areas, and even the residential area shows Solidere's assertion of keeping the town inherently charming with ever-improving space to suit more people.

Residential Development

Sustainable new constructions and retrofitting of residential buildings will add to Dunwoody's housing stock. These developments aptly entail even more townhouse and single-house units suitable for almost every standard and lifestyle.

Community Initiatives

The city is also concerned with developing cultures that will enhance the welfare of the people. Such measures include beautifying and improving public facilities, cultural activities, events, and activities aimed at creating awareness within society.

Historic Landmarks

Dunwoody has several historical structures to show its past that visitors can tour. Some exciting places include Dunwoody Baptist Church and the Dunwoody Train Depot, listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

Annual Events

These are a few festivals and events that take place annually in this city. They include the Dunwoody Music Festival and the Dunwoody Art Walk. Such events are politically crucial in culminating the town's culture and entertaining the people.

Proximity to Atlanta

Nestled in the foothills of Georgia, this beautiful community is only a half-hour drive from Atlanta. This allows the inhabitants of Dunwoody to enjoy the advantages of suburban life along with all the career, cultural, and spiritual opportunities Atlanta offers.

Living in a townhome in Dunwoody has many benefits, and those considering this type of residence can expect to get much more than just a house. Its location, size, accessibility to core services, and quality of life make it ideal for people who want to be in a lively society.

💌Red Letters to Nowhere💌

A/N: This is the first chapter of my Stepbrother! Billy Hargrove x Mayfield! Reader fic! There will be many, MANY more flashbacks and encounters with other characters (Steve Harrington x Reader, Nancy Wheeler x Reader, and Eddie Munson x Reader to name a few) and some other relationship mentions throughout (like Harringrove and Hellcheer!). I hope you enjoy reading as much as I have writing. 💕

Read on Ao3 ❤️‍🔥 Chapter 2 📖 Master List 🌈

💌CHAPTER ONE: Move-In Day💌

Hawkins, Indiana. You’d never heard of it. To make matters more nerve wracking, you, your mom, and your little sister, Max, were moving to the middle of nowhere to shack up with her new husband and his son. You had met Neil Hargrove a few times when he came to visit from California, and he seemed nice enough. That’s the keyword – seemed. There was something intense about him that made you uneasy, and Max agreed that even though your mom seemed to be head over heels for the mustached, steam pressed, ordinary tryhard of a man, the two of you would keep a calculated distance from him pending further review.

The car ride was excruciatingly long, and you and Max each had your own walkman to keep you company, trading tapes every so often and sharing whatever snacks you could snag at the last gas station you happened upon. Your mom didn’t seem to realize the two of you were immersed in your high-volume music as you watched her lips move, undoubtedly chattering away about all of the fun features of the new town you were doomed to spend the impending school year in. Max rolled her eyes and shifted in her seat, her gaze drifting out the window and eventually coming to a close for yet another nap after receiving the report from your mom of “Only two more hours until we’re there!”

Deciding the only thing more painful than dreading the uncertainty of where you were headed was actually hearing confirmations of the bleak outlook to be endured, you decided to follow Max’s lead, eyes closing, letting the sounds of Alice Cooper lull you into the last nap you would take on your way to your new home in Hawkins.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“And these are your new sisters,” Neil explained with no trace of enthusiasm to his son in the driveway of your new home. “Billy, don’t be rude. Shake hands,” he instructed sternly.

Billy held out his right hand for you to take, his jaw clenched, expression unchanging as he let out a flat, “Welcome home.” His handshake was firm, and he didn’t make eye contact with you or Max as he stood before you.

“Thanks,” you replied, testing a small smile. Again, his expression didn’t soften.

“Why don’t you go help Susan with some of the boxes,” Neil muttered to Billy, the stern coldness in his eyes revealing that this was more of a command than a suggestion.

“Yes, sir,” Billy responded, already stepping down the driveway toward your mom’s car.

Once Billy was out of earshot, Neil turned to you and your sister and put on his best impression of a smile. “I hope the drive wasn’t too long for you girls,” he offered.

“It was okay,” you answered him, attempting to mirror the almost smile. The three of you basked in the awkwardness before Max piped up with a question.

“Will we be sharing a room?” She already knew the answer because your mom wouldn’t shut up about how excited the two of you should be to get your own bedrooms for the first time in your lives.

“Not at all,” Neil answered almost cheerfully. “Why don’t I show you two around, and you can get settled while we bring in your things?” Neil held out an arm, gesturing toward the front door of your new home, and you and Max trudged forward with your backpacks and snacks in tow.

The house wasn’t large, but it was more than you were used to, coming from the two bedroom, one bathroom townhome you had shared with your mother and sister for the last six years. Four bedrooms, – one for you, Max, Billy, and your mom and Neil – two bathrooms, a fireplace, and a separate kitchen, living room, and dining area. You even had your own yard complete with a tire swing, and you knew that would be a big bonus for Max.

“I hope you won’t mind sharing a bathroom with Billy,” Neil sighed almost apologetically. “He keeps things clean, so you won’t have to worry about that. But if you have any trouble at all with him, you just let me know.” Neil’s eyes were icy and cold as he spoke, his teeth gritting together at the end of his sentence. You were a bit taken aback at how he talked about his own son.

“What…kind of trouble?” His expression softened immediately, and he tried again at his smile.

“Well, you know, boys will be boys. He’s a good kid, but sometimes his attitude needs some…adjusting,” he explained.  “I’ll be outside helping your mother. If you need anything, don’t be shy.” Neil rapped a couple of times on the doorframe and exited your new room. You felt all tension dissipate the moment he was gone, and you took the time to glance around your new space. You had enough room for all of your posters. A queen size bed rested in one corner with shelves above it, a full size closet at the end of the bed, and a window with a desk underneath it on the wall opposite the sleeping corner - perfect for studying after school. You could get used to this.

You were pulled from your thoughts with the muffled clatter of a box being set on the wooden floor beside your bed. Turning around, your eyes met his for the first time. You couldn’t help but notice he looked almost…scared?

“Sorry. I’ll be more careful with the next one.” Billy’s hands turned to fists at his sides, thumbs fidgeting over his knuckles, his jaw clenching at the close of his words. His appearance was unlike any guy you’d ever seen in person before.

He looked like something out of the cover art of one of your mom’s romance novels she always had tucked away in a spot she thought you and your sister wouldn’t think to look. His blonde, shoulder length curls were carefully coiffed into one of those trendy mullet styles, plush pink lips outlined a perfectly white smile, his skin still golden from the California sun, and his eyes sparkled cerulean like the surface of the ocean with a depth you couldn’t quite reach. You could tell he was stacked and muscular through his clothes, and his jawline was sharp enough to cut glass. Still, there was something about him that seemed on edge.

“Don’t worry about it,” you reassured. “I don’t think there’s anything breakable in there.” He nodded in acknowledgement and turned to exit your room. “So,” you called after him, “what’s the high school like?” You just wanted him to know you were approachable and that you had no intention of making his life Hell, especially since you were all forced to exist in the same house from now on.

“Probably worse than you’re imagining,” Billy scoffed, turning slightly back towards you. When he noticed your nerves amping up at his comment, he sighed. “It’s not that bad. Small, easy to find your way around, and everyone is…nice enough, I guess.”

“Oh, that’s good. I’ve never gone to a new school before, so I’m probably just overthinking it,” you admitted, finally slipping your backpack off and letting it plop down on the bed. Billy turned to fully face you again, his hands in his pockets, a smirk playing on his lips.

“Don’t worry about it. It’ll be fine. Plus, you’ll know at least one person. And if anyone tries to give you shit, tell them they can answer to me.” You weren’t sure what that meant, but it did make you feel a bit more confident about your upcoming first day at Hawkins High.

“Uh, okay. Well, thanks for that.” You breathed out a small laugh, and Billy’s smirk bloomed into a smile.

“Don’t mention it,” he drawled before giving you a wink and disappearing back into the hallway to fetch another load of boxes. You didn’t have time to process the fact that you’re pretty sure your new step brother just winked at you before Max poked her head around the corner of your doorframe.

“Hey,” she whispered, catching your attention. “What did he want?” She looked back toward the hallway where Billy had just retreated, and you motioned for her to come in.

“He was just bringing some stuff in, so I asked him about the school.” Max was invested now, also having expressed her worry of starting in a new class already a month into the school year.

“What did he say?”

“Mixed review, really,” you answered, both of your expressions changing to that of confusion.

“Okay…well, do you know what to expect at all?”

“Not really. But he did say if anyone messed with me to tell them they could answer to him.” Max’s eyes widened.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She sat down on your bed, shuffling the toes of her shoes on the floor below.

“No idea,” you answered, meeting her gaze.

“Great.” Max sighed and stood up once more. “I guess I’ll start unpacking my new room.” She fluttered her eyelashes, hands waving in mock excitement. You laughed, knowing she was doing her best sarcastic impression of your mom gushing about your new home. You both rolled your eyes before she giggled and made her way back down the hallway to her own space.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Your first dinner was awkward, to say the least. Neil had ordered a pizza for everyone since your bandwagon arrived close to mid afternoon, and your mom didn’t have time to cook a full meal even though she insisted she didn’t mind. You rushed to the door to help Billy bring in the boxes from the delivery boy who he happened to know from school.

“Troy, this is my …” he hesitated, breaking eye contact with the boy on the doorstep and looking down at the ground with a sigh, “new sister, Y/N.” You smiled tentatively, and offered a half wave, taking a couple of boxes off the top of the stack from Troy.

“Troy Holstad. Nice to meet you,” he obliged before giving Billy a perplexed look. Billy nodded once curtly and took the remainder of the boxes from Troy before waving him off with a “see you at school,” and closing the door. He nudged your arm to get your attention and spoke softly.

“There you go. Now you know two people,” he reasoned, beaming at you before shuffling back toward the dining room and adjusting his expression back to that of a sullen teenager. Billy carefully set the boxes down in the middle of the dining table, and you did the same. Everyone thumbed through the different boxtops to find the flavors they wanted, your mom and Neil opting for supreme while Max grabbed two slices of pepperoni, and you and Billy each took a slice of Hawaiian.

“So, Y/N, your mother tells me this is the start of your senior year,” Neil declared, his voice resonating in the silence of the dining room.

“Yeah, it is,” you replied around a mouthful of melted cheese and pineapple topping. You felt uneasy in your stomach when Neil glared daggers at you, looking up from his plate where he was using a knife and fork to cut his pizza. He sighed audibly as his nostrils flared and started again.

“Y/N, I know this is new for you, and we haven’t had much of a chance to talk about rules and expectations. In my house, we operate on a system that upholds the home and the image of the people in it appropriately. What is that system, Billy?” Billy sat up straighter in his chair, not looking up from his plate as his father addressed him..

“Respect and responsibility,” he recited, his voice almost shaking as his jaw tightened once more.

“That’s right,” Neil agreed. “Now that you’re a part of our family, you’ll learn to respect your elders and develop a keen sense of responsibility, just like the good, caring, all-American kids I know you can be.” Neil’s hard smile appeared below his mustache as he continued. “First of all, we address our elders with courtesy. When I ask you a question, you respond accordingly. Isn’t that right, Billy?”

“Yes, sir,” he muttered, his eyes still glued to his plate.

“I’m sorry,” Neil hissed. “I couldn’t hear you.” He leaned closer to the table, eyes searing into Billy as he awaited his response. Billy straightened up even more, his eyes snapping up to meet his father’s.

“Yes, sir,” his voice ricocheted in the dining room this time, his face flushing as everyone soaked in the awkward silence. You caught Max’s eye and noticed she looked afraid and perplexed as your mother kept her gaze on Neil, trying to seem like she was listening intently to him.

“See, girls, Billy knows the drill. If you have any questions, I’m sure he can straighten them out for you. I know you’re not used to this whole thing, having a man of the house, but you’ll adjust.” Neil gestured to the pizza on the table, his smile still active as he announced, “Let’s eat!” Max looked up at you from the corner of her eye, and you shook your head slightly, signaling for her not to say anything as you took another bite of your pizza. You side eyed Billy whose gaze seemed far away as he quickly finished his dinner.

“May I be excused,” Billy asked with perfect posture, taking the napkin from his lap and piling his used utensils on his plate.

“Yes you may.” Neil waved Billy off as he stood up, pushed in his chair, and took his plate to the kitchen to be washed.

You felt anxious as you saw Neil eyeing Max while she ate, and you held your breath as he spoke again.

“Tomorrow, we’ll practice using a fork, young lady,” he said sternly as Max’s cheeks burned, embarrassed to be holding her pizza at that exact moment. Neil paused and tilted an ear in her direction, hinting that he was expecting a reply.

“Y – yes, sir,” she choked out quickly, setting her pizza back down on her plate. Your mother cleared her throat and started asking Neil more about the school, the town, and how his new job was going. You let the two of them chat away as you gave Max a worried look, seeing her pick up her knife and fork to cut out a bite of her pizza. You stood up and grabbed your plate and jumped, the sound of a fist pounding on the dining table startling you off your feet. Your mom and Max gasped simultaneously as you met Neil’s eyes.

“Where do you think you’re going, Y/N?” You caught your breath and stuttered in response.

“I – I’m sorry. May I be excused?” You looked at your mom in panic, but she averted her eyes, looking at anything but the situation before her.

“That’s better.” Neil smiled again. “Of course. Don’t forget to clean your plate.”

“Thank you…sir.” You glanced at Max once more, hoping she would follow suit so she wouldn’t be yelled at. You hurried to the kitchen, rinsing your plate in the sink and setting it out on the dish rack to dry. You steadied your breathing as the tension melted away now that you weren’t in a close proximity to Neil. 

After the awkward and almost frightening dinner, all you wanted to do was talk to your sister. You knew she would be looking for an escape after enduring Neil’s intensity, so you put on your coat and grabbed your paperback copy of The Outsiders, leaving the house through the front door.

You shuffled through the dried leaves across the lawn to the only tree in the yard and perched yourself on the tire swing, propping your feet up and opening your book to your marked page. A few lines in, you heard a clanging sound followed by a sigh, and your eyes followed the noise over to a blue Camaro with the hood up. Billy was standing over the engine, using the back of his hand to swipe stray curls out of his eyes, a dirty rag draped over his shoulder.

He didn’t seem to notice you were there as he worked, tinkering with a wrench, grunting and sighing every so often. You pretended to carry on reading while you watched him work. After all, looking wasn’t a crime, and he was quite the sight to see. After a few more minutes, he set his wrench on the edge of the Camaro’s hood and grasped the hem of his sweat-speckled t-shirt with both hands, lifting it up and over his head, tossing it on the roof of his car. Your cheeks turned scarlet at the sight of his toned chest and chiseled abs sparkling with a sheen of sweat in the crisp October air.

Your gaze snapped to your book quickly, and you glued your eyes to the words on the page, determined not to look up again. Your heart hammered in your chest, and you swore you could hear the blood flowing in your ears when a voice startled you.

“Hey, are you okay?” You jolted upright at Max’s question.

“Jesus, you scared the shit out of me,” you breathed.

“Sorry. Are you okay?” She repeated her question, concern behind her bright blue eyes. “You look really flushed.”

“Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine,” you answered, forcing yourself to keep your eyes far away from where Billy was working on his car. “What about you?” Max used the ropes of the swing to lift herself up, and you moved aside to make room for her on the tire.

“I’m fine. What the hell is up with him?” Max looked almost afraid while the two of you recounted Neil’s strange behavior at dinner, coming to the conclusion that this move might not have been for the best like your mom kept insisting.

“All we can do is follow the rules and stay out of his way, I guess,” you sigh, feeling defeated. “I don’t know how far he’ll go, but Billy seems to be pretty scared of him,” you almost whisper, leaning in closer to Max. She glanced over at Billy who was still fixated on his car.

“A guy that big scared of his dad? I don’t even want to think about why,” she shuddered, her eyes dropping to the ground.

“Hey.” You touched her shoulder, and she looked up at you. “I won’t let anything happen to you. Got it?” She gave you a small smile, nodding her understanding, but you could see the anxiety behind her eyes. “We’re going to be okay.”

“I know,” she assured you. You smiled at her and grabbed the ropes of the swing to climb out of the tire. Tossing your book onto a pile of leaves next to the tree, you stood behind Max and gripped the ropes as you walked the tire backwards before giving it a hard push. Max giggled as she swung back and forth, spinning slow circles and crying out, “You’re going to make me dizzy!”

The two of you laughed together as the sun started to set on the town of Hawkins, Indiana, and even though you weren’t sure what the coming days would hold, you knew you had each other to ease the burdensome future in your new home with your new family.

Primal - Ch. 2 ~AU Predator (Franchise)~

Teleya’s POV

My singing transitioned to different songs from Where You Are to How Far I’ll Go. When I’d finish singing, I’d pause for a second to see if they were asleep. The living room was clean, and so I moved the trash to the kitchen.

“One more!” Camille whispers, and I could tell they were tired and close to sleep. As I threw the trash away and wiped down the table I figured Moana would be putting them asleep. I cut on the Know Who You soundtrack and turned the volume down and let it play as I put the plates in their dishwasher. The music was low and calm. I closed the window just a bit since the air cooled down. As I listened to the song I looked up at the sky, the moon shining just above me. I never forget to look up at it.

“(Ou mata e matagi) I have crossed the horizon to find you (Ou loto mamaina toa) I know your name. (Manatu atu). They have stolen the heart from inside you. (Taku pelepele)” I sang gently closing my eyes as I felt the soft air hitting my face. A gentle noise outside the window however made me open my eyes and look around gently. But I didn’t let it take my attention away from the girls and my reason for singing. I looked back up at the moon. “But this does not define you (Manatunatu). This is not who you are. You know who you are.”

I looked at the moon for a second unable to not think of Moana’s voice in my head. Who you truly are. Boy that movie was pretty good, I had to admit. I closed my eyes and smiled down at the sink for a moment waiting to hear one of the girls say something. But when they didn’t I moved to their room and gently peaked in to see they were all asleep in the bed. I smiled and paused the next song before it could play and wake them up. I closed the door gently and moved into the living room and just sat down and watched TV on low. It was all just back ground noise honestly as I played on my phone. By ten pm, the door unlocked and entered Lou. I moved from the couch and he smiled as I approached him. I could see the drowsiness in his eyes.

“Hey, they asleep?” he asked softly, and I nodded.

“They were great.” I replied and he nodded digging into his shirt pocket.

“Thanks, Leya, we really appreciate you.” he said pulling out two twenties. I shook my head pushing against his palm.

“Keep it. It really was no trouble.” I said, and he shook his head.

“No. You deserve this. Kelly and I would be offended if you didn’t take it.” he pressed pushing it back in my direction. I smiled and nodded. Hey gas money.

“Good night Lou. Stay cool out there.” I replied, and he nodded.

“I’ll text Kelly that I’m here. You just text her when you’re in your home.” he said. I nodded.

“I will. Goodnight.” I replied and walked past him.

“Get home safe.” he replied. I walked down to my car. The streets were quiet but the city was not. A soft swish noise comes from above me, and I turn and look up at the building’s rooftop. Neighborhood noises at this hour was not something I liked. I got in my car and drove down the empty road.

Normal POV

Scorpion easily followed the singing to one of the townhomes roofs. He could see a light from below, and so quietly he scaled his way down to the bottom. With both hands he grabbed the top of the window and silently hung there looking inside. Quite easily, he found the female responsible. He shrilled quietly and then silenced himself when she approached the window looking down at the cleaning sink, he has learned. Humans use it to wash the eating and cooking utensils they eat their food off of so they can use them again.

Scorpion didn’t know exactly what the woman was singing, but he also was no longer paying attention to her voice, more so her appearance. He leaned in just a bit, his helmet tapping the window.

The woman looked up and around just a bit. Scorpion remained still once more, his breathing even. She has brown skin and short curly hair. Her eyes are a deep brown and Scorpion couldn’t help but tilt his head some as he examined her. She looked taller than the average female humans he had seen. Her teeth were very white and her ears are small. She wasn’t disproportionate. She had noticeably large milk glands and when he raised himself up a bit to look down on her, he noticed the curves of her somewhat lean body. She was looking right at him now and Scorpion almost jumped off, lest he give himself away, but he felt she was looking through him.

The moon was right behind him so he deduced she was looking at it. As she finished singing, the tingling in his skin went away. When she finally turned away to move into the house, Scorpion continued to watch clicking his mandibles some. She had a round bottom and nicely shaped calves. He remembered spying on two men eating poultry and one of them was describing a female’s calves. Why they were discussing her legs was beyond Scorpion, but he was listening to learn how men chose their females for suitable mates. The male said this female’s calves were like drumsticks, whatever that was, perfectly round and then they thin out down her leg. It would make her ankles look good in… what was the word, some type of feminine shoe females wore. Scorpion then recalled it was known as a wedge shoe. He deduced back then it was a shoe only female humans wear.

This female wasn’t ugly, for many female humans were very different due to passing bloodlines and ancestral history. Scorpion rarely found them attractive. He didn’t care about appearance as long as those around him were honorable. The females in his clan were very honorable. She seemed to be looking into the room of what he guessed her suckling stayed in. She was a child bearer?

He watched the female enter a room never to be seen again. For some reason, the enforcer was curious of the life this human woman led. He placed his hand beneath the half open window preparing to open it, when he heard a rumbling from below him and noticed a male moving into the home. Her mate. Scorpion pushed all his curiosity away now for the female was taken and he would not bother with claimed females. Before he moved on, he noticed the female greet the male, but they did not nuzzle each other or show signs of affection.

The enforcer continued to watch. The man handed her some green paper. Currency. The female was performing a task and was to be rewarded.

“Goodnight.” the woman said.

“Get home safe.” the man replied. Scorpion recorded the words before climbing the building again and moving higher from the streets. Once on the roof, he crouched and just watched the woman move to her vehicle and drive away. So, she didn’t live there.

“Goodnight. Get home safe.” his helmet replayed the woman’s voice then the male’s voice. That should have been the end of his adventure for the night. He was still injured and needed to rest, but as he watched the car take off, he couldn’t help but feel his curiosities weren’t met. Why did that female’s voice make his skin tingle? He hadn’t decided if this feeling was good or not, but it was still an effect that it had on his body without his doing and that was worth looking into. The city was loud and over populated. He felt he could add to his success and make a hunt out of this as well. After he healed properly, he would prepare for his hunt.

Teleya’s POV

It was a little after ten when I made it back to my place. I was tired, but what did it matter right now? I locked the door and cut on my light. Immediately I see Pandora sitting on my couch, her green eyes staring at me. I smiled at her and walked over to her.

“I know, I was out late without calling. I’m sorry.” I teased and moved over into the kitchen after setting my bag down on the counter. I immediately unhooked my bra and just stripped all the way down the hall on the right side of the condo. It was hot in here too, and I just wanted to not be dressed. That’s what I enjoyed the most about being on my own with… unwanted roommates. I could be in any form I wanted. I could walk around without a bra, or just strip and be naked like I was now. I could be anything I wanted without having to look over my shoulder for someone else’s approval. I went back out and refilled Pandora’s food and water and cut off the lights. I checked the balcony’s doors to make sure they were locked before heading back down the hall.

I jumped into the shower and washed the day off me. Once that was done, and I dried off, I lotioned my body and jumped right into bed and was out like a light. I should have grabbed my bonnet, but my satin pillow case would do. Sleep took me quick. In the fogginess of the night, I could hear Pandora running around in the hall. She was hissing and screeching at something.

“Pandora, quiet!” I called out to her. A bird must have been out on the balcony taunting her or something. Silly cat.

Normal POV

Pandora was sitting at the door of her owner’s open doored room purring quietly as she listened to everything around the house without moving. However, something was entering through the balcony door of her territory. The hair on her back stood as she quickly stood at attention hissing at the invisible force that was entering the house. Something was approaching the room and the cat was not afraid of it. She knew predators and this was a predator. She hissed loudly at the form. It stopped and let out a low shrill in response. The cat ran into the room and jumped on her owner’s bed, remaining at the foot ready to defend. She yowled and hissed and moaned lowly as the invisible creature began to stalk into the room. She clawed and swiped at the air ready to defend still.

Scorpion looked at the black feline that was clearly no match for him and so there would be no sport in killing it. But the way it was arching its back and guarding the human female's sleeping form, he knew he was intruding on the smaller predator’s supposed territory and it would protect the sleeping female even at the cost of its life.

He respected the lesser being. So, he would venture no further into the bedroom and instead move silently back into the hall. This was the female's shelter, and from what he could tell only she and the feline lived here. Strange. A young female with no clan or mate. That was very odd. She could have children, why wasn’t she claimed or with suckling by now? Was there something wrong with her? Did she find no male worthy of her? Scorpion pushed those thoughts away and decided for the time being he would move on and prepare for his hunt. He knew where the female stayed and if he wished to come back and explore his curiosity further then he would.

He heard the hissing again and looked over his shoulder to see the cat now higher on the woman’s furniture. Still it was hissing and howling at him. He had overstayed long enough. He needed rest and would need to get back to his ship before the sun came up. He shrilled gently and moved back out the same way he came in.

Teleya’s POV

The sun entered the room and brought it to life. My soft white curtains welcomed the warmth. God I was so happy it was the weekend. I could hear the city already, and I just lied in bed for a moment rolling on my stomach and looking over my shoulder. Pandora was curled up at the foot of the bed purring gently. What got into her last night, I wondered. I sat up and decided it was early enough to hit the gym before breakfast. I slid on some shorts and a red tank. I packed a gym bag of my spare clothes and some towels to shower with at gym. I slid on my shoes and left out my room. As I entered the kitchen to grab my water bottle, something caught my attention in the living room.

Something green was on the ground on the left side of my couch. I tilted my head and approached it. Did Pandora throw up? It was bright, almost neon green. What was it? I looked up at the ceiling. Was it a leak? I didn’t have time to play detective. So, I hurried and cleaned it up and disinfected the spot before grabbing my water bottle and my keys and leaving the house.

Speaking of detective, NYPD Homicide Detective, Axel Bosch was just leaving his home too. He was an older man, with silver hair and pale blue eyes. He was a few inches taller than me with a lean body for an older man. He cleaned up nice and had tattoos on both his arms. Old enough to be my father, but still someone I would sleep with. I had no guilt about who I was attracted to now. He lived here before I did and came off as a real hard ass. But if your job is to solve murders then maybe it came with the territory. He glanced my way giving an old smile and a curt nod as he was placing his sunglasses over his face.

“Good morning, Teleya.” he said, his voice low and gravely. I gave a small, but polite smile.

“Morning detective.” I replied. The man smiled.

“You know you don’t have to call me that. We’re neighbors, you can call me Axel.” he said. I nodded already feeling off talking to someone by myself who was still a stranger.

“Okay. No problem.” I replied as we both walked down our steps and over to our cars.

“Gonna be a hot day today. The heat wave will be peaking soon. Stay hydrated and cool.” he said. I nodded at him.

“You too… be safe.” I replied. He smiled professionally.

“Thank you.” he said. I could hear the radio in his car already.

“We got bodies…” that’s all I could really hear before his engine started and he was taking off in his nice Chevrolet truck. Be safe detective.

May Be Well, 5.2.23 “Out Past The Transformers"

Outdated radio static hums Staccato pops of bubblegum Belittle more than ego First the mind then body fail to show Counting stars in the mirror No one seems to match my sight any clearer Wave good greetings farewell Ripe clean hands waterlogged anew Glass pain separation in looking out for you Tightroped electrical wires never tire Fields of farms and trails of townhomes Will there ever be any yield come harvest? Such luxury, emotions placed in boxes Stitched to skin, sleeves to warm Safety-pinned collage Gas station guardians Parallel parked bikes play aground playgrounds Moving throughout the day with a cloud’s urgency Light and shifting So full of taciturn tears

Enmu is a home owner. What's his house like?

In terms of physical structure, it's a Euro-Asian townhome. Placed on the edges of a semi-modernizing town not too far from a larger major city. It's mainly built with stone and wood, though outwardly it's covered with wood paneling. Inside, there are patches of the home where stonework is visible; particularly in the walls.

Inside, there are two floors, an attic, and a cellar. The house itself is lit with electricity and gas lamps. Upon entering there's an umber staircase that leads up to the second floor. To the left, is the kitchen and a large dining room that connects to a living room. The kitchen has a gas stove that has to be lit with a match, and most of the kitchenware is pots and bowls of varying sizes and materials for brewing/stewing herbs. There are jars of herbs and preserved ingredients/parts in the cupboards and pantries.

To the right, is a den that connects to the aforementioned living room. There's comfortable seating along two walls and a covered bay window which part of his carnivorous plants call home. Enmu has a rig set up to where he can open and close the blinds from across the room to allow his little friends sunlight; and yes, they are fed a steady diet of human meat. There are some decorations in this room too; some ornate vases, paintings, books, and some dried plants/herbs along the walls. They wanted to make it a pleasant space to have a cup of tea in or hold a conversation.

The upstairs are the bedrooms. One personal bedroom which he does use on occasion, one guest room, and one bedroom that has been converted to an office for clients to visit and have private visitation/consultations. That room has a shelf dedicated to plants in it as well; it also contains most of his medical texts and books he uses to further his craft. The desk is organized but covered with apothecary tools; test tubes, glass jars, mortar and pestles, and titration kits just to name a few things.

The home has an ominous vibe to it considering there are blinds shutting out light from every window, but since he does use every part of the home at some point, that sensation is offset somewhat.
