☼ Demon Hunters ☼ Destruction of Angels ☼

~Kage Pearce & Cole Thorn~
Kage sat back down next to Angela, watching the two quietly. She gave a faint, amused smile as Aiden went right back to sleep. "Well he was awake for about... five seconds. That's good." She looked at the sand, tracing a random pattern in it lightly. "What do we do now? Stay here or go back to the glass room? In my opinion, I want out of this arena. I like to breath..."

~Councilor Charna Pearce & Hikaru~
Charna stood near the exit of the glass room as the hunters started arriving, Hikaru now at her side, sitting contently. Her arms were crossed as she stood there, quiet, watching them. She didn't like being around so many different hunters. She regonized most of them, but this many bodies was overwhelming for many reasons. Her gaze moved from watching the hunters to the monitors, the one that showed the students that had had the orbs, along with the vampire. She was uneasy with this vampire. The sight of his shortsword gave her a bad feeling, and that this person wasn't showing their real self. Unless he had managed to kill the previous owner of the shortsword, it was still the same vampire. She rubbed the back of her neck, looking down at Hikaru as he nuzzled her hand gently. She sighed quietly as Hikaru spoke silently to her, and she gave a small nod. Turning, glad to leave the room with the hunters and Councilor Kane, she slipped out and headed over to where Castanet and Damien seemed to be having a fairly good laugh at something. "I'm pretty sure you know this Damien, but if not, I think it's a good thing to know that their are vampires among the arena, one of them being with the students on the beach." She sat down across from them so she could look at them while she spoke, Hikaru flopping over her legs with a huff. She scratched his head as she continued, "I was wondering what the plan is for them. If my assumption is right with who the vampire is, I doubt you should have him linger much longer with them."

Perhaps the halucination gas had been a little too much for Caia to handle... She sounded a little like Trinity just babbling on about nonsense. He waited for her to come to the conclusion over whether or not he was real, scowling a little bit at being called stupid and insane... Though Caia honestly looked like the insane one in this situation. "Caia where's the watch if you don't tell me, I'm afraid all those people are going to come back and try and kill you...?" Well it was worth a try, Caia said it herself - her brain was muddled. "I'm telling the truth... Look I made them go in the first place didn't I?"

Destruction, death and horror!

Trinity punched Cordell's arm when he decided that he didn't like Deryn. "Don't you dare hate people because of how they were born. How would you like it if you were a Cross and everyone hated you for such a stupid reason? Eh?" She scowled, "Can't believe you don't like someone for something that's out of their hands. Feel free to hate me in that case, jeese if I could go back and punch my parents in the face I swear none of this would have happened."

Watching as Cordell rolled down the window after having a few moments to debate with his shadow - creepy thing - Trinity just stared open mouthed as prison guards started dropping like mayflies. "Well..." She mumbled after they'd driven onwards. "Remind me never. Ever. Ever. To wind you up... I will slice you with this sword if you try that weird creepy shadow thing on me..."

She pulled a face. "We need a backup. Last time I saw Hakan... Earlier today... He messed with one of my marks and made it impossible for me to teleport. We are taking the car with us. I like it." She stuck out her tongue, still irritated that he didn't like Deryn for being born a Cross. "I'll tell Laurie you hate her. She won't like being your teaching assistant then. You'd make a thirteen year old cry." She doubled over at the end of that rant, clutching at her chest as if she was in pain. She seemed to blurr slightly and Solitude appeared in the back of the car while Trinity just scowled at her from the front. "That was cruel. Why did you do that?"

Solitude just grinned, "The rant about Laurie? I found it amusing and this guy can explode people! Is he single?"

Trinity slammed her head on the dashboard. "Désolé, je ne parle pas anglais."

Solitude laughed, "That's the only phrase you ever learnt in French. Usless child." She yawned slightly as alarms began to go off, and leant into the front of the car to pull two guns from the glove compartment. "So I just shoot any demon that moves?" She pressed the button for the sun roof to roll back and waited for demons to shoot.

Angela ran her fingers through her brother's hair, until he finally woke up again to bat her hand out of the way. She grinned lightly, glad he wasn't going to die and that he was back to his irritating self. "I want to go back to Horia... I want to sleep and sleep and sleep... And then have some food and go back to bed..."

The pair looked up as Charna appeared, and when she sat down both were relieved that they wouldn't either have to get up or strain their necks to look up. "Casta you seem to have forgotten to give me an update about the vampires?" He played with his glasses as he spoke, moving them up and down repeatadly. "I've got a plan... We'll do what you guys do with every demon you come across... Kill it."

Castanet didn't react since she knew Damien was definitely not starting a kill every demon you see campaign. If he was he'd be sending Trinity off to be killed and Castanet knew he'd prefer to send two other family members before that. "Plus Miss Charna. Damien is incapable of killing things because he's weird-"

"Hey!"

"-So he can't really help out with a plan to kill someone can he?"

(lol I love Trininty XD)

~Kage Pearce & Cole Thorn~
Kage chuckled quietly, leaning back on her hands. "Sleeping sounds surprisingly good right now." She commented, glancing up at the sky. It had darkened to a darker shade of blue, the sun sinking lower. At this time, she would usually feel more energetic and alive. But at that moment, she felt exhausted, like she ran around the entire arena fifty times (though if she actually had she doubted she would still be awake). Leaning now on one of her hands, her other went up absently to rub her shoulder, then out of habbit to mess with the cord of her necklace under her jacket. She frowned as she realized there was no cord. She sighed inwardly at herself, as she remembered she had forgoten to put the necklace her brother's ring was tied to.

~Councilor Charna Pearce & Hikaru~
Charna smiled, amused. "I've heard that Damien doesn't kill demons." She said and grumbled under her breath as Hikaru flicked her with his tail as she paused from scratching his head. "You said earlier to Kage, Castanet, that she couldn't kill the vampire so I thought I should come out and ask what to do with this." She glared down at Hikaru as he pawed at her, which she returned with a bat. He rumbled, and stood, tacking the hunter backwards. Charna squeaked, glowering and shoving Hikaru off and sitting back up. She shot Hikaru a warning look as he braced himself to pounce on her again. He made a pouting sound and went over to Damien, laying on him instead. Charna gave a small shake of her head, sighing and looking back at the angel and demon. "Are they allowed to attack him now? They now since now that I remember, Angela looked like she wanted to shred the vampire when her brother passed out, and I think they both would be very glad to hear they can."

.* Caia Grey *.

Caia's smile disappeared and she stared at Arren silently. It was true. He came, and they all went away. If they come back, they would kill her, wouldn't they? Just yelling at her wouldn't be enough, would it? So much hatred, too much. Yes, she'd die. The druid was telling the truth. "The watch..." Ah, the pocket watch. The one she got killing Lucinda. So confusing, that demon. Ever since killing her and having that death match with Akuma, Caia couldn't get her priorities straight. There used to be such a clear line between good and evil. That line was so blurred now, kind of like her head. And her vision. Her sight was going in and out of focus. Probably had something to do with the head banging. Whatever. It didn't matter now anyway.

Yes, the watch. It was so tempting to just tell him. She gave it to Trinity so it wouldn't come back... that was what she did, right? Yes, she could remember that much. Staying behind so her friend could escape with the watch. Wait, they weren't friends. Enemies, but... not enemies. Caia could vaguely remember some conflict with that phrase, some sort of confusion. She didn't remember. "The watch. Right." She should just tell him. It wasn't going to change anything anyway. Why did she keep it a secret in the first place. Was there a reason she didn't tell him it wasn't going to reappear? Would he go after it? No, he wouldn't know where to find it. There was no point keeping it a secret. "It's not... I don't have it."

No, no she couldn't say it. There was a reason she didn't in the first place, besides being stubborn. There must have been, and although she couldn't remember what it was... her head hurt too much... something in the depths of her mind prevented her from telling Arren anything about the watch or who had it. No, she wasn't going to tell him anything. It didn't seem like a good idea.

Destruction, death and horror!

Solitude waited until the sunroof was fully open before climbing up through it and holding onto the edge of it so she wouldn't fall off. Almost imediatly, lizardmen began appearing as they chased the car, and Solitude devised a new game; see if you can shoot them so their blood splatters all over the car. So incredibly childish and so incredibly Solitude. So incredibly like Trinity.

Trinity was consulting the device in her hands, speaking to it in demonic to get it to create a holographic map floating above the device. "One floor below us." She pointed down a corridor, "Go that way there's a ramp at the end of the passageway." She freed her mask from her belt and slipped it on after messing about with the buttons and controls on the inside for a few moments - filtering the annoying noise of the alarms out. She passed another gun out to Solitude when she began complaining of having no ammo.

"See you do understand English. Idiot." Solitude laughed and ducked out of the way when Trinity attempted to hit her around the face. She sat back up and pulled the trigger again, sending a bullet through the control pannel of the speaker system to shut out the alarms. She then slipped inside when the car began to approach the ramp since the ceiling was low. Trinity and Solitude switched seats, Trinity ducked down low in the back and Solitude yawned boredly. "As she said. It would be amusing to attempt to fool Hakan."

Arren could by now hear the sounds of the fight going on upstairs... And what sounded like a car... If only there was more time before Trinity decided to launch a rescue party. He doubted that Caia would tell him where the watch was in time before Trinity got down here, and there'd be no point because Trinity could just teleport the watch somewhere new after that. Wow. Arren was doing a lot more thinking than usual. So he decided to at least get revenge on Trinity and mess up Caia's mind some more in the hope that next time they met, Caia would be a mental wreak and would just hand over the watch.

"Caia... If you don't tell me where it is... I have to go... And those people will come back... I can hear them coming now can't you? Trinity's coming to kill you, she's evil isn't she? She'd your enemy and she's Solitude... So you need to be sure that you kill her first. Understood? We're going to try and protect you to keep her away from you but she's crazy... It's a secret... You're good at keeping secrets right?" Well, it may or may not work, attempting to trick Caia into thinking that the lizardmen were protecting her and were simply trying to keep her in the cell. Arren was quite proud of himself that he'd managed to think such a thing up by telling her to kill Trinity. It was easy to mess with a confused mind, he was just irritated that he wouldn't be able to watch after they'd left since he pretty much expected Trinity to save Caia now.

((Haha thatnks Luna XD)) "And food..." Angela reminded her, still not taking her eyes off her brother just in case he might wake up again. She was so going to punch him when this was over... How dare he fall unconsious from not being able to breathe? She smiled faintly and moved his hair out of his face. "Kage... Have you got any scissors? He needs a hair cut and he's asleep." She grinned as Aiden mumbled something about 'over your dead body' and Angela laughed. "Aiden... I'm dead can I cut your hair now?" The answer oddly enough was still a no.

Damien watched with amusement as Charna had trouble controling her own shadows and he suddenly found himself being used as a pillow. He didn't really mind so he scratched behind the panther's ears as Castanet came up with a plan.

Castanet nodded, "If they wish, they can attack him, just make sure that there are adult hunters in the area just in case. If they don't kill him, I'll drag him back to the Otherworld with me after this whole thing is over." She mumbled something to Damien in another language and he looked amused for a moment at whatever she'd just said. Castanet stood and retrieved her spear from where it was propped up against the tree. "I will come with you Councilor Pearce."

"And I... Am going to wonder where on Earth Durendel got to." Damien yawned and then spoke in panther, "Which means, that I will probably need to get up some time soon I'm afraid..."

[Ylva Rane]

.* Caia Grey *.

Caia's body stiffened. Now that he mentioned it, she did hear something. Rumbling sounds, gunshots, dying screams... Trinity was really coming to kill her, just like she said she would? Caia was going to imagine herself dying? No, it would hurt. Everything else hurt. Dying would be so painful, and she didn't want more pain. She didn't want to see Trinity anyway. She didn't want to see anyone. She just wanted to be left alone. Maybe... maybe if she fought back she wouldn't die.

But something still seemed fishy to her, nagging at her. Did Arren say he was going to protect her? Did that make sense...? Well, he wanted the watch, didn't he? He didn't care about her, she was sane enough to know that, but he cared about the watch and without her he wouldn't get it. At least, that's what he thought. Trinity was her enemy, but she didn't know about evil. Solitude was evil, though. Solitude was a demon, and that...made her evil... did she have to kill her?

Yes. Yes she did. She's not going to let some nightmare kill her. If she killed it, maybe everything would go away. No one would come back, the earth wouldn't quake. Caia just wanted it all to stop, and if it could happen by killing Trinity, sure. She'll do it. She'll kill Solitude. What was she keeping a secret? That Arren was protecting her, probably. Element of surprise, probably. "My sword..." Struggling to stand, Caia felt around for her sword. "I don't have my sword. I need a weapon." She managed to stand on her feet, but only because she had the wall to support her. "I have to make it stop. It'll all stop if I just kill her. I need a something to kill her."

.* I want to protect, so I will dirty my hands for you *.

He was perhaps a little shocked that it had worked, he was definitely going to brag about this to Hakan. He actually had no clue where the hunter's sword was, could have been anywhere really since he hadn't been paying much attention to the lizardmen. He knew Caia wasn't likely able to hold a sword without falling over anyway, he only had a gun on him and he knew that would be a bad idea since she was distressed to the point she might just go and shoot anything since she was still suffering from halucinations.

So instead he ordered one of the guards to pass her a dagger. "Don't act like you have it. Wait for the opportune moment Caia Grey." The guard on Caia's left passed her a dagger before leaving the cell to stand guard outside. Arren beckoned the other guard out to stand outside the cell as well and procceded to lock the cell door again as he explained to Caia; "Just so she won't get to you easily and so it give you the element of surprise."

Arren then headed further down the corridor to find out wherever Hakan had gotten to. "Oi idiot Lure where are you?"

~Kage Pearce & Cole Thorn~
Kage gave a small nod, "Yes... and food..." She blinked in surprise as Angela asked if she had a pair of scissors to cut Aiden's hair with. She gave an amused smile and shook her head, "Even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you. I doubt you would do a very good job cutting his hair." She paused and added, "And you're not dead, you're.... undead."
(fail sorry)

~Councilor Charna Pearce & Hikaru~
Hikaru made a soft rummbling sound as Damien scatched behind his ears, the tip of his tail flicking lazily from side to side. His eyes drifted closed, but he kept his hearing focused on their conversation. Charna listened to Castanet, and gave a small nod, standing herself. "If you are to come with me, I'll let Councilor Emory know. I believe no one is in the arena at all yet so you and I can go and gather those that are at the beach. That way, they'll be 'adult hunters' in the area." She agreed with Castanet and that their should be the adult hunters near them if they do decide and attack the vampire. She turned, and headed back into the glass room in search of Adelaide among the hunters.
Hikaru, opened his eyes, making a whining sound as Damien said he needed to get up. "Of course you do." He rumbled softly, and rolled off of him, laying down for a moment before standing and shaking his fur. "Oh, and do tell Castanet that they will most likely be traveling by shadows. Charna sometimes forgets to warn others when they will be, especially when something is on her mind."

"What?" Angela folded her arms and raised her eyebrows. "Kage. You're supposed to be my partnet in crime!? You're meant to be the one to help me raid the kitchens at midnight, or to help me cut my brother's hair when it really badly needs cutting."

Aiden mumbled something, then repeated it so it was easier to hear. "Cut my hair and I'll throw you in the sea once more."

- { Príncєss Cαstαnєt-Cσnstαncє Alαznє } -
When life is laid out before you, fight to break free.

Castanet followed Charna over to Adelaide, hanging back a little and not liking the ammount of hunters that she was close to. She stopped slightly to catch something Damien was trying to tell her, and then just continued to walk off, following Charna. Adelaide had looked up to notice Charna and Castanet's distress from being around so many hunters, that she had moved to a fairly empty part of the room and didn't raise any eyebrows when Castanet leant against the wall so she could keep out of the way.

- { Dαmíєn Stαvє & ร๏lคςє } -
Hearing more, seeing more, is that really living more?
By that sin fell the angels.

Damien chuckled a little as Hikaru started whining, he stood up and hissed a warning about the shadow teleportation to Castanet before reverting back to panther. "Thankyou, I'll perhaps see you again some time." He waved goodbye to the panther and walked a little way into the woods, untill he was out of sight from the councilors. Reaching out for an invisible handle to an invisible door, Damien seemed to disappear into thin air. It took a few minutes and he was back in his office at Horia. With a sigh, he headed off to his first port of call as he grabbed a book from the shelf nearest the door to occupy himself with while he walked.

The nurses in the infirmary would have likely attempted to bully Damien into returning to rest in one of the beds had he not started off with 'prepare all the beds in the infirmary'. They just looked at him like he'd lost it until he explained what had happened. As the infirmary fire into life, he'd grabbed some painkillers and let the room. Damien was pretty sure that Durendel was by the portal still, which made sense that he should just ring up Deryn. The Cross councilor picked up the phone on the third ring and Damien asked for news. He didn't actually know what to say when Deryn said there was none, so he just hung up after making the Cross councilor swear he'd get in contact if something happened.

He was a little confused as to why things were crashing and he could hear his cousin's voice however. He rounded the corridor and frowned at Esme as he remebered about that irritating Fade. "Esme. Why on earth are you here? I asked you to go see if Trinity was alright."

Destruction, death and horror!

Glad she'd chosen to move to the side at that particular moment since the bullet that had traveled between the seats, embeded in the back seats just a few centimeters above her head, Trinity pulled a face "I don't thing the whole 'steal a car', 'comence prison break out', 'kill people' thing is legal either! But I've been doing it for years so arrest me officer I'm sorry I as speeding." Trinity laughed from the back of the car. She pointed ahead, to where one of the prison cells seemed to be guarded. "Well you can put up with them getting on your nerves for a few more minutes can't you?"

Solitude chuckled, "Look Caia is so pathetic she-" Trinity smacked her on the head, and promptly threatened to drive a sword through Solitude unless she started to behave. The pair acted so childish and talked to each other as if the other was the child and they were the embaressed parent of a nightmare.

[LunaSoul]

~Councilor Charna Pearce & Hikaru~
Hikaru dipped his head to Damien in farewell and ran after Charna and Castanet, weaving between the hunters to reach them. Reaching Charna, he padded quietly next to her. He nudged her hand gently, speaking silently to her. Charna glanced down at Hikaru, and gave a small nod, watching as her panther vanished. "Hikaru went ahead to pass the message on. He'll watch them until we get there." She said, looking at Castanet and then stopped as they reached Adelaide, glad the hunter had moved to a part in the room with few hunters. "Castanet and I are going to be going into the arena to get the kids on the beach. We also are giving them permission, if they wish, to attack the vampire, and we will also be there to watch and make sure they don't get themselves killed."

~Kage Pearce & Cole Thorn~
Kage grinned and put her hands up in a surrender gesture, " I know I know, but that wouldn't be the smartest idea..." She glanced at Aiden and smirked, looking back to Angela as she lowered her hands, "See, I'm even saving you from getting thrown back in the water." She grinned, and then frowned slightly, looking at the tree line as she felt shadows shift, then still. She watched it for a moment longer before turning back to Angela and Aiden. She opened her mouth to say something, but then got suddenly shoved down onto herside and pinned to the ground. She squeaked in surprise and looked up at the big panther pinning her.
