Marianne was forced to turn and face Van, a look of pure annoyance on her face. "You seem to trust her an awful bit."

"I took over her brother's body, she helped me out if only to get her brother back, and yet she hasn't tried to stab me in the back or turn me over to the proper authorities despite me being the god of thieves the rest of the pantheon didn't even want. Now, I can be a decent man and ask nicely, so will you please just hand Riley over?" Van said holding his hands out, waiting to be handed the boy, but he had a gut feeling it wasn't going to happen.
((Van's gonna have to smack a b***h, isn't he? xd ))

"How do you know she isn't biding her time? Earning your trust bit by bit so that she could betray you when you least expect it?" Marianne asked, trying to stall time so that she didn't have to hand Riley over.
{He's so gonna have to smack a b***h. XD}

Van just rolled his eyes with a frustrated sigh. All these questions were starting to get really annoying. He knew what she was trying to pull, and it wasn't working, which only made it worse. "You know, I really didn't want to have to do this..." he said hanging his head slightly as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "However, you have forced my hand." he said before promptly smacking Marianne hard across the cheek and grabbing Riley from her while she was stunned and high-tailed it in the opposite direction. If she was stubborn and gave chase, then he'd just abuse his godliness, pop on over to the other side of the sea, and leave Marianne stranded.

Marianne was shocked. "I..I...cannot believe you just hit me!" she exclaimed, giving chase.

"You deserved it!!" Van called back over his shoulder at Marianne before hopping into the air and vanishing in a flash, teleporting across the sea to Jaquel's territory, leaving Marianne to fend for herself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wakey, wakey..." Jaquel cooed. Back in his mansion, he'd turned the basement storage room into a dungeon/torture room of sorts and had Mala chained to a wall.

Mala groaned softly, opening her eyes slowly. "What's with the..." she began to ask, until she noticed that Jaquel was right in front of her. She gulped. That explained why she was chained to the wall in such an uncomfortable manner. "What's going on?! What are you going to do?!" she demanded.

"Good question. I honestly haven't figured that out yet..." Jaquel said taking a step back and pacing a bit around the tools scattered around the room on tables, and racks, and other horrific machines. "Normally I'd make you my plaything at the drop of a hat, but after our last encounter, you seem to have spunk. I hate spunk."
Van meanwhile appeared just outside of town. He looked down at Riley, who was still out cold in his arms. Calmly walking into town, he got a room at the inn and asked the inn keeper to watch him while he was gone. "Don't worry, kid...I'm bringing your sister back and making sure that b*****d pays..." he said quietly to Riley before he left, a serious look on his face that was not going to forgive any harm done to Mala.

"And I hate being chained up by a sex-crazed fiend." Mala replied easilly, if perhaps foolishly. She had faith that she'd find a way out of the situation, though, even if it meant being rescued or resorting to...other means to keep herself out of permanent harm's way. "If you really wanted me to cooperate at the time, you wouldn't have tried to kill my brother. You would've at least waited until I got Van out of his body before you started getting all violent."

"That foolish excuse for a god was weak and helpless at the time. I would've been an idiot not to take advantage of the situation. Humans are beneath me. They're my playthings, nothing more. Why should I care if I kill off some dopey little brat in the process?" Jaquel said easily as if he was simply talking about a broken toy or a squashed bug. Suddenly there was the faintest sound of a commotion from above as Van made his way through Jaquel's men. "How nice of him to save me the trouble of hunting him down." he said looking up at the ceiling.

"It takes one hell of a priestess to survive breaking a seal like the one Van had. I would've killed you - even at the expense of my own life - had you hurt him any more than you already did." Mala hissed, still rather tense - especially since she didn't know how long it would take exactly for Van to get to her.

"Mmm, there's that nasty little spunk again...Most girls would be smart and keep their pretty little mouths shut in your position." Jaquel said as he got uncomfortably close once more as he dragged a clawed finger across her neck, slowly making his way down towards her chest.
Cue the door flying open. "You keep your filthy hands off of her...." Van said, a dead serious expression on his face as he glared at Jaquel over the edge of his sunglasses. The carefree, laid back thief was currently not in attendance, leaving a very pissed off god in his place.

Mala saw that Van was pretty pissed, which somehow made her feel more confident about her chances of escape. She went on to smile as she said, "I'm so taking extensive combat training so I don't end up like this again..." with a confident tone of voice. "Kick his a**, Van!"

"Close your eyes, Mala. This won't be pretty..." Van said walking into the room, flexing his hands as he cracked each individual knuckle.
"Someone's confident I see...I just hope you're not all talk, or I'm going to be severely disappointed as to the requirements for godhood." Jaquel said, unimpressed by Van's entrance.

Mala didn't close her eyes one bit; she wanted to see every last bloody detail. She eagerly awaited the battle, and hopefully Jaquel's defeat.
