 ❝I will tell you your fortune and the out come...
What you do, is you're decision. You control your stars.❞ Magnolia lifted her head off the table, sensing someone was in front of her door. She heard a knock on the door, allowing them to come in. When she saw it was Kale, she instantly got up and stood up. When he started to ask, she felt like she was going to start vomiting all over again and start balling her eyes out like a five year old. She looked away silently for a moment before he puts his hand on her forehead, checking her temperature. She closed her eyes till he removed his hand and she looked up at him, her forest green eyes looking up at him. "Kale, you might need to take a seat for this. It may shock you, but please do keep a clear open mind and relax. There is tea on now if you want some..." When Kale sat down she served the both of them tea before taking a seat. She took a deep breathe and said, "Kale, the reasons why I have been a little more careful with things and tonight's performance is...." Her emotions started choking her instantly, as tears started to well up in her eyes. "Caelius, I am.... pregnant..." She felt her throat clench up with emotions and she started to loosen them up with some of the warm tea. She shook her head, quickly wiping the falling tears. She was truly scared of not only telling him but the whole pregnancy. "I'm sorry, this should have been said as soon as I knew, but we were moving already, going back into the world and so much was happening. I couldn't pull you away for a mere second to tell you this, because all the predictions would lead to future disasters. This was the only time I could tell you before the baby came. I'm frightened to the bone with this. I'm scared. This scares me like you would scare an average every day man from the outside world. I've been vomiting everyday for five months, eating and craving the most disturbing looking foods. I understand if you are very angry with me with this late news, but every prediction for five months would not go accordingly. You would end up not getting your fill, the Devils amount or something terrible would have happened during an act. At least several times I had predicted that I would have a miscarriage from a serious incident. Three of which, would have killed me." Magnolia felt terrible and sick again. The gypsy looked down at her stomach, seeing the small bulge. She waited for Kale to say something, yell, scream, swear at her. Magnolia wasn't going to do this reading, she would never do that to Kale without his permission. She placed her hands over her stomach and said, "It's a boy. I found that out today... Whenever you're close, he gets excited. He's taken more from you than me... This has literally one Hell of a pregnancy."WHEN YOU FUMBLE ALL YOUR BANGLES

    ϻalachi ʐachary ɠryphon   Malachi couldn't help the grin that came to his lips when she mentioned having her running around in a skimpy little outfit. He scoffed in mock hurt, shaking his head. "I'll have you know that I'm a perfect gentleman, miss Callie! I would never objectify you on my stage! But...if you insist..." He laughed and winked at her. She was a pretty girl, even when rather disheveled looking. He watched as she ran a hand through her hair, smiling when she scrunched her nose, thinking it was cute. When asked if she could use the shower, he furrowed his brow a little, shaking his head. "Drink my water, eat my food, and now you want to shower? Geeze. Needy." His voice was laced thick with sarcasm before he laughed, flashing his winning smile and nodding. "Of course you can!" He stood to his feet and showed her to the bathroom where she could wash up, handing her a towel before exiting the room. As she cleaned up, he washed the dishes and put things away, stepping into his room and changing out of his suit, into something more comfortable for the evening - a simple pair of sweatpants and a soft jacket that he zipped up some so only his chest was somewhat exposed. Didn't want her to get the wrong impression.
Kai pushed up the sleeves of his jacket just as he heard the shower stop. He went into his small cabinet and pulled out a couple extra blankets that he could use. The magician busied himself with taking down his table so he could pull out the guest bed hidden in the booth around it - much like a motor home would have. Once it was all set up, the blankets laid out and an extra pillow placed at the head of it, he rose a brow, wondering why his new friend hadn't emerged from the bathroom yet. Raising a brow, he walked to the bathroom and gently knocked on the door, leaning his head a little closer to the door. "Everything alright in there?" He asked, waiting for her reply. At first he was confused as to why she was waiting for her clothes, but before he could figure it out, she had opened the door to him. Having not expected to see her in nothing but a towel, he kind of chuckled and looked her once over, shaking his head and looking at her face when she spoke, clearing his throat before he did. "Ah. I see. Well. You're more than welcome to borrow something of mine." He nodded, turning on his heal and beckoning her with his finger to follow him to his room. Trying not to be awkward and gawk at her, he busied himself with searching through his drawers, pulling out a soft t-shirt and an extra pair of sweatpants, handing them to her with a smile. "If those don't work, feel free to go through and grab what ever you like. What's mine is yours sweet cheeks." He chuckled and winked at her, looking over her once more before leaving the room so she could change without being bothered.
The magician whistled a bit as he put on a pot of tea. Malachi was a pretty laid back sort of person and rather easy to get along with when he wanted to be. Not much brought him down and that was obvious by the smile that was almost always on his face. The kettle began to whistle as he pulled down a couple of mugs for them to use. "Callie, would you like some tea?" He called out as he turned off the burner. His whistling turned into humming as he grabbed a sugar packet, tearing off the top and pouring it into his mug first before pouring the tea itself. When she came out of his room, he looked over to her and rose a brow, waiting for her answer on whether or not she would like tea.

ϻalachi ʐachary ɠryphon Upon her answer, Malachi poured a second mug of tea, looking over to her as she cuddled into the blankets. He frowned a moment, grabbing up the mugs and handing her hers. "You don't have to sleep out here if you don't want to. I was going to take this bed so you could have the more comfortable one." He nodded, taking a seat at the other end of the bed and taking a sip of his tea. He glanced out of the corner of his eye as she poured the liquid from her flask into her mug, raising a curious brow. Kai chuckled a little bit when she assured him that it was alright for she was almost twenty one, shaking his head a little as he took another sip from his own mug. To her question he nodded though, dropping his cup from his lips. "Of course I do! I just don't usually put alcohol into my tea." He couldn't help but laugh when she mentioned that he was suave, rather enjoying the compliment. It was a little different having a woman seem to enjoy his flirting and call him out on it at the same time. Usually they would roll their eyes and walk away or the girl was rambling on about his acts. "I drink quite a bit actually, just not feeling it tonight I guess. Who knows? I might have to have my wits about me. Can't have a pretty little thing like you taking advantage of me. I don't even know you. Who knows why those guards were chasing you? You could be a serial killer for all I know!" He chuckled to his own joke, drinking from his mug again. The man couldn't help but smirk to himself, seeing as he could easily be called the same thing.

      Raze sat as she had asked him to and accepted the tea, but didn't drink from it. Something was wrong. He could feel the tension coming off of her, and he didn't like it. He focused his gaze on her until she started speaking, but the words she spoke, took a moment to sink in. He squinted his eyes closed for a moment before furrowing his brow. Pregnant? Five months? And she couldn't find a spare moment until right now? He found it hard to believe. He turned his eyes to the floor as she continued speaking, looking beyond it lost in his own head. When she finished speaking he glared back up at her again, and though his voice was low, it shook. "It took you...five months. Five months, and you couldn't find one singular moment to inform me? If I had been ten minutes later or earlier than now, how would this result have been any different? I don't believe for one moment that you couldn't find time to tell me. I'll tell you what I think happened. I think you got scared. You feared to tell me because you didn't know how I would react. No doubt in my mind. You are...afraid of me."
Raze at this point hd begun pacing back and fourth, but now, as he stood directly in front of her, looking down at her sitting in the chair, a tear fell from his eye and slid down his cheek. Another fell from the opposite side, and he let them, otherwise rather emotionless. When she attempted to stand to comfort him, or speak in any way, he backed up away from her and raised his voice. "Don't touch me!" His tears were done, for there were only the two, and he was otherwise enraged by this point. So much so that he was beyond the point of throwing things or breaking stuff. This was so bad he had gone almost silent. His voice was upset as he kept his distance from her. "I loved you Maggie! I was so much in love with you that I did everything in my power to keep your soul from being taken from me, and how am I repaid?! Firstly, you hide this pregnancy and allow me no time to partake in it, no means to help you, and no excitement in the coming event! Secondly, you, of all the sorry bastards in this hell hole I call home, YOU FEAR me! How am I to deal with that?! I have given you everything. You are the one person in the world I never manipulated, hurt, or used, yet here we are. You cowering over my next move, and me...trying to pry the knife from my own back. You know what, I had to make a choice when I returned. Your soul or Cassie's. I had to sacrifice one of you to the Devil. I slaughtered and betrayed my first love, my first altered, my best and oldest friend to protect you. She isn't here and she is never coming back. I did that for you, yet you are afraid of me.
This isn't even about the child anymore. He is fine. Being alive wasn't his fault and he shouldn't be punished for it either. However, perhaps next time you fall in love, you will learn that with true love there is no such thing as fear. So thank you Magnolia, truly. I thank you for reminding me why I stopped loving in the first place..." Raze began to disappear in his smoke, transporting to somewhere other than where he was. The last visible piece of him, being his eyes, glowing red, as the flames flickered within them, never a good sign.
Jesse slinked down and hid with Chloe, listening with her to what was going on above. They both heard every word, though Raze was too upset to notice or care. Jesse only did it to make sure Maggie would be alright and he wouldn't hurt her on accident or something had he decided to turn into a hurricane and destroy the place. No, this was bad. He didn't really yell, he stayed calm for the most part, but the terrible part was he wasn't mad. He was hurt. And a grown man who is hurt, will always cover it with rage. Looking to Chloe, he led her to the door and walked in to find Maggie. He knelt down beside her and took her hand to comfort her, telling her everything would be alright and that Raze was just hurt right now, but would come around.  OOC:

       Callie giggled along with him, until he mentioned the possibility of her being a potential serial killer. Her tea stopped in her throat for a moment before she forced it down, trying to smile it off. "Well, you could be some sort of creepy woman stalker, who is into roofies and necrophilia for all I know but I am having a drink. It isn't much what was left, but I am assuming if either of us wanted to hurt the other, we would have done it already. And I am not a serial killer, I am a nanny." She got back to giggling just fine, glad to avoid the questioning. When she thought back on his comment about the bed she rolled her eyes at him. "The last time I slept, it was on cement behind a dumpster in the rain. This is Buckingham Palace, believe me." With all seriousness she felt rude at the thought of stealing his bed. She finished her tea, and her water bottle, snuggling into the pillow and pulling the covers up around her. She rested her head on her arm, and gazed at him sleepily as he spoke to her, smiling occasionally, until her body shut down against her will.

ϻalachi ʐachary ɠryphon Malachi thought nothing of her little choke, assuming that she had been caught off guard by his comment. He chuckled a bit as she turned it around and back at him, shaking his head. His brow rose to the necrophilia aspect of it, looking at her with an odd expression, wondering where that particular comment had come from. The magician shook it out of his mind and smiled more sincerely as she shared what her occupation was. The man finished his tea as she made it known that the couch would be enough for her and looked to her as she made herself more comfortable. "Alright, if you're okay with it, I wont argue. Let me know if you need anymore blankets or anything. Fair warning, mornings are pretty early for me, so I apologize ahead of time if I wake you." He nodded, though once looking at her, he wasn't sure if she heard it for she seemed to have fallen asleep. With a small smile, he stood and grabbed her empty mug, moving to place them both in the sink before moving back to the bed to make sure she was tucked in and would stay warm. Nodding to himself, he made his way to his room, waving his hand behind him and the lights went out as he closed the door. With a tired sigh, he flopped onto his bed. He laid for a moment before pulling at his covers to get under them. The man maneuvered his way around to remove the jacket he'd put on, tossing it carelessly to the side. The magician was sure that he would only get a few hours as he normally did. The nightmares had only been growing worse, leaving his nights practically hell. The man had thought about visiting Maggie for some sort of remedy, but his pride kept him from doing so. He hated to admit that he needed help. After a long moment, he was able to relax into his mattress and slip into a light sleep himself, doomed to be plagued with nightmares that almost felt too real.

❝I will tell you your fortune and the out come...
What you do, is you're decision. You control your stars.❞ Magnolia looked at Kale with her jaw hanging and tears running down her face. "Kale, please understand. I couldn't tell you. Even tonight-" This wasn't good. He responded the way she feared would happen. She looked at him with disbelief when he accused her of fearing him. Her fear him? She could never be afraid of him. If you love someone, there is no way you could fear them. He was taking it the wrong way. Before she could tell him that she still loved him and that he was wrong, he was already gone. She sat down, crying, shaking her head. Her heart was not present in her chest, but she felt like it was breaking. The baby reacted very badly and she could feel it. It felt like knives twisting in her stomach, tearing her organs apart. She couldn't stop crying. She had hurt Kale, but this was the only time she could tell him just to protect the cirque, Kale and the baby. She was gambling her own life however. When Jesse and Chloe came in, she shook her head still crying, "No it won't, Jesse. Nothing is just okay. The future is brewing for me, this pregnancy is going to cost my life. He doesn't believe me with the five months of predictions and I couldn't tell him. He thinks I'm afraid of him and it's not true! I love him and if I was scared, I wouldn't be having his demon child or kept the black orchid alive to this day. It still looks as healthy as the day he gave it to me. If he would have understood that I was scared of the pregnancy and the split prediction, this wouldn't be so horrible. This child is going to become stronger and feed off my energy and power, leaving me bed ridden. I won't be able to preform, let alone, move around. Now, I am truly alone with this pregnancy. How could he of thought that I was scared of him?! I fell in love the very first time I saw him, running away from the damned asylum! He was ever so kind when he took me in!" She felt dizzy and got up, "I need to take rest and only hope that today was nothing more than a nightmare. You two can stay as long as you like. Tea is still available..." She started to walk into the back bedroom, but as soon as she reached the door frame, she collapsed and blacked out.
Voices echoed, fading. Darkness... complete darkness.... Magnolia looked around, remembering the place. Purgatory. She held her stomach in a protective way and looked around, hearing voice. Laughing, crying, screaming and yelling. A woman approached Magnolia. She was as tall as Kale, with long tangled brown hair. She was pale and her eyes were blacker than the ringleaders. The scent of lilies came from her as she stood before the psychic. She smiled at the girl and said, "Good hour, Magnolia. I brought you here tonight on a mission for the Devil. He's a little busy possessing the Arch Bishop, so he sent me. Do you know who I am? You pray to me almost every night." Magnolia kept her distance from the woman and kept holding her stomach. The thought clicked in and nodded, "You're Lilith. You're the goddess of the Night. But why did you summon me and why in Purgatory? Caelius warned me-""That anyone can take you away, leaving your body to rot? No worries, dear. That is all in control. Your friend, Chloe had gone to fetch the Ringleader." Magnolia looked down sadly, "He won't come for me, but only the child that grows within me." Lilith raised her eyebrow and crossed her arms. She sighed and said, "You would be surprised. But, the reason I summoned you here is because my husband want's to strike a deal with you. In fact we have several." Lilith walked over to Magnolia and placed her hand on the bulge, "I can take away the child you bare inside. Saving your life, the rest of the pregnancy will be no more. Or you can continue the suffering, be bed ridden and when you deliver the child, you can exchange your life for the new born." Magnolia instantly shook her head, taking a few steps back, "No, I'm keeping the child. The chances are unlikely I will survive after the birth, but I'm keeping it. Kale is hurt right now, giving his child away to anyone would kill him. This child means so much to Kale and I. Even if it kills me in the end." A little surprised, Lilith took two steps back and crossed her arms again. She smirked a bit, "But he doesn't know it will most likely kill you. It's one in a hundred thousand shot. You would have better chances escaping the Asylum ten times more than surviving in the end. He is in pain because he thinks that you are scared of him. Fear leads to hate and he knows that. You're willing to keep a child of the man you love even though he may dislike you? You're willing to throw your life away? The life you fought so hard to stay alive. From the time of the fire, to being admitted into the woman's mental institution only to be raped, experimented on, always was fed drugs to null the mind. Then almost costing your life to escape that place and find sanctuary. Only to be here now, baring the child of a demon that is enraged with you right now and his spawn might end up killing you when he arrives? All of this, for a baby?" Magnolia nodded. Lilith's words twisted Magnolia's heart. "Yes, ma'am." Lilith nodded your head and bit her cheek with a smile. "You never cease to amaze me, Maggie. Much like your mother before you. Most humans would plead to take their baby out of ignorance to save their own lives, not thinking of their loved ones. This is why, you're my favorite. He will see soon enough that he was wrong." Lilith began to walk away. Maggie stopped her and asked, "Wait, how do I get back? I need to return! Time works differently here!" Lilith looked at Maggie and frowned a bit, "Kale has to fetch you, but he can only do so if he still loves you and knows the truth that you will never fear him." Magnolia frowned, "Can't you send me back?" Lilith shook her head as she disappeared, "This is a test from the Devil himself. My hands are tied. Farewell, Magnolia." With that, she was gone and Maggie was all alone. WHEN YOU FUMBLE ALL YOUR BANGLES

      Jesse knew things were bad. Kale hadn't responded well, but as he thought about it, he put himself in Raze's position. If Chloe came at him and told him she was five months pregnant and he had missed all that time, he would be pretty upset himself. He didn't blame Kale, but he could have maybe listened to the whole story first. The moment Maggie collapsed, Chloe was at her side and told him to go and find either Raze or Malachi. Malachi would be in bed by this hour for sure, and Raze had disappeared. Jesse ran around searching everywhere for Raze, only to come up with nothing. He searched for a full hour and nothing. Vanished without a trace. Figuring he had slipped away into the city to do a little rage control on the souls of innocent people, Jesse had to knock on Malachi's door. "Kai! Hey Kai! Listen man, I know you are sleeping but there is an emergency and Raze is gone. Kai! Come on we need help!"
When Jesse banged on the door, Callie jumped and sat up quickly, thinking for a moment the gunmen had located her. She didn't want whoever it was to hear or see her, so she slipped back into Malachi's bedroom, and sat beside him running her cool fingers along his face gently to wake him from the nightmare he was obviously trapped in. "Malachi, it's alright. open your eyes. It's just a bad dream. Nothing more." When he woke, she offered him a half smile and looked toward the door where Jesse still knocked calling his name. "I believe there is some kind of emergency. This man out there scared me when he banged on the door and said something about Raze is gone, and they need help, if that makes any sense to you. I stayed quiet so he doesn't know I am here, but it sounds pretty urgent. Will you be okay? You didn't sleep much." She returned to bed after Malachi left, slipping back off to sleep quietly.
When Malachi opened the door Jesse took his arms in his hands and was legitimately worried. "Kai! Oh thank God you woke up! Listen to me, Maggie told Raze she was pregnant with his kid, and he flipped because she waited five months to tell him about it. He figured she was afraid of how he would respond and took that notion as she feared him. He was so pissed that he didn't even break anything, just vanished and no one can find him anywhere. Maggie collapsed and has blacked out and we don't know what happened or what to do, so I am sorry for waking you but neither of us can do any magic to figure out what is wrong with her." He waited anxiously for Malachi's response, hoping he would come with him to help.  OOC:

ϻalachi ʐachary ɠryphon Kai hadn't stirred when the banging came to his door, he was too far into his nightmare to even notice the sound. In his bed, he was tangled up in the sheets from moving around so much, his knuckles practically white from gripping his pillow so tightly, and a line of sweat covered his brow. Small, distressed noises left him, but nothing loud enough to cause any real concern. It wasn't until the cool feeling of Callie's fingers on his face came that he was finally release. Malachi jumped awake, his eyes quickly opened and his gasped. Once realizing he was in his room, he let out a sigh of relief and caught his breath. His heart was racing like a freight train. The man took a moment to relax into his bed again, rubbing at his face tiredly before looking up at Callie. Seeing her offered smile, he returned one, though soon heard someone knocking on his caravan door. Kai rolled and closed his eyes, a somewhat irritated groan leaving his lips. "What the hell...what time is it?" He glanced over to his clock, noting that it was indeed a bit late, or early depending on how you looked at things.
Huffing again, he shook his head, closing his tired eyes once more before Callie spoke again. The magician turned his gaze to her, raising a brow when she stated that it was some kind of emergency. As she continued, a frown pulled at the corners of his mouth and he pushed himself up and out of bed, grabbing the jacket he'd been wearing before over his arms. To her concern, he simply smiled and nodded, looking to her again. "Yes, I'll be fine. Thank you. I'm sorry he scared you, and woke you for that matter. I'll be back." With another nod, he quickly stuffed his feet into some shoes and made his way to the door, unlocking it and stepping through. He gasped again when Jesse caught him by the arms, not entirely ready for such panic while he was still waking up. The magician listened to Jesse's words, growing a bit concerned himself. Pregnant? With the ringmaster's child? Well! There was a bit of news he wasn't expecting! Five months along at that! He frowned at the news that Maggie had passed out, placing a hand on Jesse's shoulder in hopes to calm him. "Alright, it's going to be fine Jess. Calm down, deep breaths. Take me to Maggie." He offered a smile and followed after him, zipping up his jacket to cover his exposed skin from the rather nippy night air.
Once in Maggie's caravan, Malachi made his way into the psychic's bedroom. He smiled to Chloe, placed a hand on her shoulder and gently moved her aside, taking Maggie's hand into his own. The magician took a seat next to her on the bed, looking over her form before glancing to the rattled ticket girl. "Chloe, sweetheart, would you bring a rag and some cool water please?" He asked, nodding to her before looking back to the woman in the bed. He'd thought that perhaps giving her something to do would help ease her worry, putting her mind onto something else. Taking a breath, Kai held his hand to Magnolia's forehead, then touched her cheeks as though he were checking for a fever. "Maggie, where have you gone?" He asked a little quietly, looking at her with his brows furrowed in question. When Chloe had returned with the water and rag, he thanked her and asked that it be set on the bedside table. Closing his eyes, Kai held his free hand over Maggie's chest. Quietly he began to whisper an incantation and in the palm of his hand, a lime green light began to glow. Slowly, he moved his hand up and touched a finger to her forehead, holding it there for a moment as he went quiet. Soon enough, the light faded from his hand and Kai opened his odd eyes, frowning a bit and reaching over to grab the rag and ring it out, folding it before pressing it gently to Magnolia's forehead. "We have to find the ringmaster. Magnolia has stumbled into purgatory and I know of no way to get there. Master Raze will know what to do. Until we can find him, we'll have to keep her comfortable and make sure nothing happens to the baby." He nodded with another frown, shaking his head as he moved to stand. When Kale had found himself in purgatory, he'd been gone for seven months. How long would Maggie be stuck there for?
Malachi paced the small room for a moment, trying to think of where he might find their master. He glanced at Chloe and Jesse, stopping for a moment and placing his hands into the pockets of his jacket. "Keep this between us for the time being. Until she is well, we'll need to find an act to replace hers. I will go and look for Master Raze. I have an idea of where to find him. Would you two mind staying with Maggie?" The magician was worried, but he did well to hide it. As second in command, he couldn't afford to have the people of the cirque see his worry and cause them to do the same. If Kale was truly as angry as Jesse had led him to believe, it was possible the cirque would have to pack up and move along sooner than expected. Thinking about it, he frowned some and looked to Jesse. "We'll need you ready to break things down tonight if need be. I would get some sleep if you could." He nodded, giving them a slight bow before turning to leave the caravan again, his mind now filled with different places that their master could possibly be.
The magician moved through the quiet circus, nodding to a few of the crew that were still up, partying around campfires. He made his way to the main tent, moving into the back and checking under the stage to see if the special guests he'd collected were there or not. Seeing as they weren't, he nodded to himself and made his way then to where he knew Kale worked. Kai hated to go in there, for it tended to be a nightmare in itself, but without hesitation he walked in to find the victims he'd collected for Kale - or what was left of them anyway. Malachi frowned deeply. There was blood everywhere, chunks of flesh, the smell of burnt skin was nearly enough to make him sick. It seemed as though the ringmaster had taken his time as usual, but hadn't stopped once their hearts were consumed. Kai shook his head and turned to leave. Kale was no where to be found in this place, and if he wasn't here, then he was no where good. Rubbing at his tired eyes, the magician made his way back to his caravan, making sure to be stealthy and quiet so as to not wake Callie. He quickly changed into something a little warmer and drank down an elixir to help him fight off sleep. Soon enough he was exiting the caravan again, lighting up a cigarette as he did so and walking out into the night to locate Kale.

  Chloe whipped her head around when Malachi showed up. She looked up at him and said, "Malachi, she's barely breathing and randomly collapsed without any signs. Not even stumbling..." She moved away when he steered her away to fetch water and a rag. She nodded and walked into the small kitchen area, getting a bowl from a cupboard, filling it with cool water, thinking she has a fever. When the bowl was filled, she searched for a rag but stopped to give Jesse a hug. "Thank you for getting him, Jesse. I'm worried about Magnolia." She asked before grabbing a rag and putting it in the cool water. She returned and set it on the end table for him, standing next to Jesse while watching. She took Jesse's hand tightly. Chloe was very nervous about the news. When she heard that Maggie was in purgatory, her grip tightened up on Jesse's hand. She nodded when Malachi asked them to watch her. She watched him leave and looked at Jesse. "He's right, you have to get some sleep now. I'll stay here and watch over Maggie. He might need you to start packing up some of the small but major stuff." She got on her tippy toes and kissed his chin. Mr. Grimm jumped up on the bed and curled up next to Maggie's side with his ears folded back. He yowled sadly before putting his head down. OOC:

Raze had completely lost it. His rage had overtaken his heart and at the moment, no one and nothing mattered to him. He transported himself to appear before the mortals Kai had stolen for him and said nothing as they pleaded for their lives. He tortured them, ripped them apart, piece by piece, until there was nothing left, stealing the hearts from their chests, and storing them away, leaving one of the worst messes he had ever created behind. Still unsatisfied, he transported out of there and headed into the city. He entered a night club and saw all kinds of prey. He would hit on a young girl or ask a man to lend him a cigarette, and the moment he got them to the alley, he ripped them apart too, for no reason whatsoever. A pile up of eleven people were left, looking like nothing more than ground hamburger meat. He moved on to the next location, a bar, a hospital, even random parking lots, until he reached a grand total of seventy three victims. Finally his nerves calmed enough to return to the Cirque grounds, and as he walked about caked with blood, he stalked about the place, stopping and staring at the stage in the main tent.
What use was this home he had created anyway? It didn't serve a real purpose. All it was, was a place of secretive horror and misery veiled by an interesting persona. It was his own self, in the form of a place. Twisted and unforgiving on the inside, mysterious and intriguing on the out. He hated it. He hated what and who he was, and this place was no better. He grabbed a large container of gasoline, and began to rage, flinging it everywhere and screaming into the still night. He grabbed his lighter and stared at the flame, glaring at it, as his humanity and all the emotions that went with it fled his mind. Should he drop it and burn the tent to the ground? Before he could answer he could hear Malachi behind him. Pausing for a moment, he turned his gaze to look at him over his shoulder, and whispered in a dark tone. "We're all dead Malachi...no one will make it out alive." OOC:

ϻalachi ʐachary ɠryphon Malachi had traveled into the near-by city to see if he could locate the ringmaster, but all he really came upon was traces that he had been there. It was a troubling thought and he was sure that they would indeed need to move along before it was originally intended. He hadn't found all of the ringmaster's victims, simply enough of them to tell him that they needed to leave. Frowning, he had made his way quickly back to the Cirque to begin the process of taking things down, calling upon different crew members that he could use for the time being so that Jesse could get as much sleep as he could before he would need his expertise, if in fact he had listened to him. Smaller, side tents were easy enough for a person to take down, it was the larger ones that would need more. After taking a few of them down, he paused for a quick smoke break, wandering around and taking inventory of what needed to be done. He made his way to the large tent, his pace quickening when he could hear the ringmaster screaming in his rage. The magician stopped at the opening of the tent and waited to hear, what he thought was, Kale calming his anger; flicking his cigarette away from the tent before he decided to enter.
Instantly, he was glad to have gotten rid of the cigarette for the whole place wreaked of gasoline. Malachi looked around, frowning some before his gaze fell upon the ringmaster with a flame in his hand. Between that and the smell around them, Kai began to worry, Kale's words certainly not helping with that. Malachi held up his hands as he approached the ringmaster, keeping his calm. "Caelius..." It felt incredibly odd to speak his full name, for he never did so, but the situation made him feel as though he needed to reach him on a bit more of a personal level rather than a formal one. He wasn't completely sure what he had meant by his words, for they didn't make sense with the situation Maggie was in - unless of course her child, for some reason, would present a danger to them all. "Whatever has happened, we can discuss it. A solution can be found. Why are we in danger? Have we angered Lucifer? We've followed his list to a T..." Thinking if he could get him talking then maybe he could stop him from setting the place ablaze, Malachi lowered his hands again, moving to stand closer to Kale, slipping his hands into his pockets to act as though it was just a regular conversation rather than he was worried the ringmaster would do something irrational. He would wait a moment to say anything about Magnolia, unsure if Kale had calmed down enough to react to it without going into another rage.

Raze stood still as Malachi approached him. His gaze was dead set on the flame in his hand. He could hear the words Malachi spoke, but returned his answer to the flame instead. "No, Lucifer is pleased with us. It is in fact the fetus that poses as a threat. Maggie doesn't know it, but there is a very dangerous reason why it behaves the way it does. If it had been a girl, everything would have been fine. She would have taken most of her traits from Maggie with only subtle traits of myself. Alas, it's a him. With the curse I possess, it effects the males of my line. He will come out a full blooded demon, like myself, harness the same curse with a need to consume souls, but the difference will be his ability to use his mind in ways that I cannot. I was told to have a boy would birth the apocalypse of everything ever created. He will be able to move things, read thoughts, control the actions of others, control and sense the feelings of others, transport the way I do, heal quickly, be immune to illness, and overall be the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. He is going to be far more great in power than even I, because he would have had all of that anyway, regardless who I conceived him with.
Having chosen Maggie, she is already psychic, so all that power is going to be heightened far beyond the original warning. We are all dead Malachi...the only way we would survive is if we destroyed him before he was born, or for some reason he, like Jesse, desired to be good and use his abilities in a positive way." Raze flicked his lighter shut, distinguishing the flame, and turned to face Malachi. His eyes were lined with tears and he was absolutely soaked in the blood of his earlier victims. This whole time, he wasn't angry, he was terrified of the monster he had created. That, on top of taking Maggie's words the wrong way, he slipped over the edge and into a pool of temporary madness. He looked sad. For the first time, probably ever, he had an emotion in front of Kai. "I took it out on Maggie...I didn't mean to...I was just so upset and thrown off by it. She knows that...right? She'll forgive me...she always forgives me...I don't know why, but she does...I actually feel terrible for the things I said to her. I need to apologize, as much as I hate to do that, then try and convince her to get rid of him before he kills her. He will try to take her soul on his way out, but I already have it. He will kill her trying." Looking to the ground in shame, he hung his head and exhaled. OOC:
