James looked over at the passenger side door as Lyra tried to open the door, and the car wouldn't let her. He placed his hand on the dashboard and told the car to let her in. Sighing as Lyra spoke, he continued to think for a little bit before saying, "I don't know Lyra... I know she's telling the truth about needing our help, but... She works with him... that b*****d immortal... I suppose I can bear it... I don't know what to do. I need to think about it a bit more." James put a hand on his face and sighed again. Lost in thought, James' power finally dropped off and his air returned to its normal black color and his eyes returned to their gold color. James closed his eyes and immediately fell asleep; using that much energy for such a long period of time after being sealed for so long tired him out. As he slept, his dreams faded in and out, it was his memory of the night Lyra and him spent together, and he smiled lightly as he slept, remembering what happened.
=====
Merrill averted her eyes from Jack, her face tinged slightly red in embarrassment, but before she knew what was happening Jack was kissing her. Rather than fight back as Jack obviously expected her too do, she simply let the kiss continue and gasped lightly when Jack pulled away from her. She looked at him intently, but it seemed he didn't notice. She watched his reaction, trying to build up the courage to say something but failing miserably. Her eyes opened wide when Jack collapsed on the seat, she quickly turned around and called his name, trying to see if he was okay. He didn't look well at all, his face was unbelievably ale, he looked more like a corpse than anything else. Merrill quickly got out of the car and opened the door to the back seat, climbing in at Jack's feet, and moving up to where his chest was, closing the door behind her. She was glad her car was so spacious and comfortable, otherwise this wouldn't have been possible. She looked at Jack's face and said, worriedly, "Jack! Jack please stop kidding around. Get up! Was the kiss that bad?" Merrill tried to make a joke, to see Jack smile and get up or something, but he didn't move; Merrill could tell he was barely breathing. She shook him lightly and asked, "Jack! Jack what do you need me to do!? What's wrong with you?! Don't do this to me! Not now... Not after..." Merrill let her sentence trail as she still frantically tried to figure out what was wrong with Jack. Didn't he say something about sugar? Was that what he needed? Merrill momentarily cursed her lack of a sweet tooth and rummaged around in the car; she knew she had a secret stash somewhere around here. She frowned constantly as she tried to find anything with sugar in it. After a short while she managed to find her secret stash of chocolates. Merrill liked chocolate, it was her guilty pleasure. She didn't have much of a sweet tooth, but she could eat chocolate for hours on end if given the chance. She quickly ripped opened one of the packaged chocolate bars and broke a piece of before placing it in Jack's mouth. She sat him up so he wouldn't choke on it and waited to see if there was any reaction.

Lyra watched James as the tension in the air subsided and his hair returned to the black color it had been when she had first met him. she had been about to ask why he hated the blue man so much before she noticed he had fallen asleep. a small smile lighted his face and Lyra blushed as she found it attractive, I wonder what he is thinking about? she thought as she settled into her own seat not sure what she should do. The car was not moving and she could get out if she wanted to, but the beings that were watching the car seemed slightly hostile towards her, so she remained where she was looking about in the car for something she might do. suddenly the glove compartment opened and Lyra blinked looking at the dark drawer that opened before her. curious she reached her hand for it and it snapped shut. she jumped and felt her seat jerk back in the instant and she let out a little shout as she was flipped back into the back seat of the car. Dazed she was confused as to what had happened she remained there in the back seat as the passenger seat righted itself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack's body by this time was in a coma, an immortal cannot be killed by taking away his elixir, but they can be immobilized and are in their weakest state if they are deprived of it, and often are killed once immobilized. In essence he was simply sleeping, but the longer he stayed in this state the harder it could be to wake him.
Wandering the park as a small boy the immortal had always known this place to be a sure spot to pick up some sweets for free. strolling about with a bag full of pinata candy he could hear a familiar shout as he came close to the edge of the park. suddenly a woman jumped through the trees headed in his direction snarling. the immortal could tell it was a rotted nymph by the way her hair was snagged and her skin was tinged purple at her jawline, jagged brown teeth filled her mouth and her eyes hinted at yellow and he sighed when he realized it wanted to rip him to shreds, usually you are all so beautiful he thought getting ready to turn her to ashes when a shout brought his attention back to the tree line where another woman had jumped though and noticed the rogue running for him. Ah Merrill, i didn't think this would take you so long, i guess i might have overestimated you for once he smiled just as she raised her gun and let a bullet fly. the silver piece of metal pierced the Nymphs skull easily just as one of it's long jagged hands reached out for him, and pierced through his flesh, gasping in pain and wrapping his arms around his stomach the immortal dropped to his knees.
The pain made him aware of the sweet rich taste in his mouth that was not blood as he thought it would have been after being shredded by a Nymphs claw, but it tasted of sweet coca and milk mixed with that delighted sensation of sugar he was so addicted to, greedily he swallowed the sweet elixir and was slowly becoming aware of his body, he moved slightly and more chocolate was shoved in his mouth as he began to feel his body again. "Merrill?" he asked in between pieces as he noticed her sitting over him, "are we still in your car?" he asked taking the rest of the chocolate bar from her now that he was able to feed himself. Slowly he began to remember what happened before he passed out and he looked at Merrill to see if she was mad at him or not.

Merrill sighed with relief when Jack woke up. She was unbelievably worried. She glared at Jack when he sat up and asked a silly question. She lightly punched him in the arm and said, "You stupid idiot... Why didn't you tell me that sugar was your elixir!?" Merrill had the bag of chocolate bars in her other hand and she was basically straddling Jack, but she didn't care about that right now. As Jack finished his chocolate bar off, Merrill reached in the bag and pulled out a second one. She unwrapped it and broke a piece off. Rather than break it off with her hands, Merrill broke small piece off with her mouth. Holding the small piece with her tongue, she looked at Jack intently and leaned into kiss Jack. Pressing her lips up against Jack's, Merrill pushed her tongue inside his mouth along with the chocolate, sighing lightly as she tasted Jack for the first time. He was sweet, like sugar, but also not entirely the same as sugar. That, combined with the chocolate caused Merrill to wrap her hand around Jack's head and pull him closer. She was really enjoying this, and she didn't know why. After the chocolate had melted, Merrill broke the kiss and took a small breath, staring at Jack with heavy eyelids. She breathed slightly heavily, and she could already feel heat in her chest. She hadn't felt this way in years, and she was unsure about what to do next. She spoke lightly, barely managing a whisper, "Jack... Don't ever scare me like that again... I don't know what I'd do if I lost you..." Merrill looked at Jack intently, she wanted to see his reaction, and know whether or not she was being just a silly girl.

Jack just blinked at Merrill very aware of the way she was poised over his body."you never asked, besides i didnt know you knew of elixars"Jack could not believe what she was doing when she suddenly kissed him again wrapping her arms around him as she did so, he simply ignored the chocolate, consuming it only to taste more of her as she kissed him like there was no tomorrow. She pulled back when the chocolate was gone and he knew he wanted more. Seeing her reaction made his heart leap in his chest and he wrapped his arms around her with a smirk as he heard her, "You will never be rid of me my dear," he said a hand tracing her chin as he leaned into her for another kiss, "Shoot me a thousand times and only then might i think about leaving you alone" he chuckled and kissed her, forgetting the sugar for now, he might need it for what he wanted to do, but at this moment there was no room in his attention for the candy. to be honest all these years of following this woman and he had never in his wildest of imaginations thought this moment might actually come. Before she had been but an amusement that had left him slightly charmed every time they had meet. he could remember how shocked she had been when she had realized he had not been a mere child. "Do you remember when we first met Merrill?" he asked pulling away as his hands began to stroke her sides he could feel his body reacting in a way he had not felt in a long time.

Merrill smiled lightly when Jack replied in just the way she wanted him to, sighing delicately when he wrapped his arms around her. She kissed him again and tasted only him, his taste was wonderful, she couldn't stop herself from humming in delight. His words made her heart leap, and when the kiss was finally broken, she replied, panting slightly, "I'm going to need... a lot more bullets... in that case..." She blinked lightly, barely paying attention to his question as she shivered slightly when his hands ran down her sides. She had never thought it would turn out like this, especially not after the way she always mistreated him. But she was glad it did, because now she understood why no one was right for her; she already had the perfect man, right in front of her. She shivered again and replied to his question, breaking another piece of chocolate off in her mouth, "Vaguely... tell me how it happened Jack... I know you were following me... but I can't recall much else." She kissed him again, placing the chocolate in his mouth as her tongue wrapped around his. Merrill most certainly could remember their first meeting, it was one of the strangest encounters of her life, but she wanted to hear Jack say it.

Jack hummed as she hissed him again
Of course the encounter with the rotted Nymph had been their first encounter. she had been frantic as ever to find the boy half dead next to her target who was still struggling against her shot. she had been frantic to check on him, a trait that he had often found amusing since half the time the victim was dead any way.
"Ah it looks like i broke again" he sighed as she walked up panicking since she had seen the creature rip right through him. blinking as he looked up at her he stared back down at the injury he had received "err, this is kind of awkward" he said glancing about to see if any other humans had seen and gratefully finding there had been none. instantly his form shifted, becoming a black cloud before his usual appearance of an 18 year old rock blue haired rock star appeared before her dressed in a early 20th century suit stood before her complete with the matching hat. politely he bowed to her, "Sorry i interrupted, it isn't every day you see a half undead nymph running around here at the park" he chuckled.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Finding herself in the back seat Lyra was slightly stunned by the sudden chain of events that had suddenly taken place. how the hell had she gotten in the back seat of the car. blankly she stared at the front seat before standing and beginning to move climb over it again knowing it might be awkward for James if he found her siting in the back when she had clearly been siting next to him when he had fallen asleep. she lifted her leg carefully over the arm rest trying her best to not step on the seat when suddenly she heard a noise behind her as the back seat flipped down to reveal the trunk and suddenly the front seat flipped back again and within moments she was tossed into the trunk and could do nothing as the back seat shut her in. It was dark in the trunk and some what cold as she struggled to try and find the lever that usually opened the seat up again, she didn't take long to find it, but after pulling it a few times she found it did not work like the passenger side door, slowly she started to panic, "James! James!" she shouted slamming her hand on the back seat hoping he might hear her.

Merrill simply blinked for a moment when the little blue haired boy with the hole in his stomach turned into what appeared to be a blue haired rock star chiseled from the finest marble money could buy. She simply stared at him when he bowed, not quite comprehending what had just happened. She was frantic when she saw the nymph attack the boy, and even more frantic when she saw that he had been injured, but now, the boy had turned into, even Merrill had to admit, some sort of godly figure. She opened her mouth to speak for a moment, but immediately closing it again as she couldn't quite find the words for what she wanted to say. She shook her head to clear it and said, "You're... an immortal, right? I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't... I was... Are.. are you okay?" Merrill was being overly polite for a reason, Immortals were immensely strong beings, and many commanded an air of respect. This one, thought he looked like he was 18 Merrill knew he was probably more than twenty times her age. She had never heard of an immortal bowing to a human before, so it seemed odd to her. Merrill looked the man over again, his features were wonderfully handsome, and his odd hair color only added to that attraction. She was slightly confused, what would an immortal be doing around here, in this realm? Merrill sighed and tried to put it out of her mind, she turned and said, politely, "Well... I should contact HQ and let them know that their undead nymph is no longer a problem... I'll just... go... now..." Merrill took a nervous step back turned and started off in the direction of the HQ, the nymph had destroyed her radio when she had gotten close before, so she needed to contact HQ manually. Merrill could tell her face was bright red, she was embarrassed, and the immortal was undeniably handsome.

Lyra restlessly pounded at the seat as she tried to get James' attention, but she was unaware of how exhausting his change and seal break had been on his physical body. ten minutes seemed to pass by without success before she stopped and began to search for another way to get out of the trunk. it took her another ten minutes to find there was nothing in the compartment, nothing not even a wrench for taking off a spare tire. Clenching her teeth to stop herself from panicking she curled up into a ball to think before light filtered through the crack in the trunk door and it lifted up to allow her access out of the compartment. Scared and slightly panicked she tumbled out of the vehicle and fell to the ground practically kissing it like she had never seen anything so beautiful.
Breathing heavy she lifted herself off the dirt for a moment, crouching where she was and wrapping her arms around her knees before she noticed some of the Erie people looking at her. intimidated she clutched her knees in slight fear as a few started in her direction a hostile air about them as she looked over their appearances, their faces were set with an idea that meant unpleasant business for Lyra and she was not going to go quietly. frantic she peered about to try and find some kind of defense tool she might be able to defend herself with.
-----------------------------
Lavi had finally some how gotten rid of the gray haired freak after having been stalked for the last hour he thought the man would never leave. Heaving a big sigh he managed pop back into the clearing just as he noticed the thugs from before actually heading towards the human woman who was sitting next to the demon's vehicle. Without a second thought Lavi instantly lit up in anger at the men who were still trying to get rid of a simple human woman who could probably do them little to no harm in her current state.
"Why cant you just leave them be!?" he shouted rushing in to her side and grabbing her arm as the other men began to move faster, not wanting the fire spirit to take the woman away.
"Keep to your own buisness boy!" the big man shouted grabbing Lavis arm, the fire spirit simply glared at the mans hand and the figure jerked back with second degree burns on his arm, causing agony and dysfunction. "Don't make me go hotter" he hissed before pulling the human to her feet "come there is little time, he said to her before pulling her off into the woods with the men not far behind them.
----------------------------------
For the companies top tracker, Kayla was having the hardest time finding a decent town or residency in the area. carrying a small frozen water spirit did not help either since she had to carry the solid creature every where she went. Inwardly she cursed her lack of a sense of direction. Tracking was no problem, she could follow a target to the ends of the earth if they dared to run from her that long, but return to headquarters after the target has given up or been restrained? she was lost like the ugly duckling.
"how far did i chase him into this stupid forest!?" she mumbled to herself as she listened for any signs of another human type being. in her half form her ears twitched as she heard a ruckus not far from her current position, slowly she followed the two and recognized a flux of flame power in the area. "oh ho, my next target?" she wondered following the fleeing men as well as the fire spirit and his human companion.
----------------------------------
Lyra followed only cause she was forced to, his grip was strong for being such a smaller man, and she winced when she felt it getting hotter, "what is going on?" she asked squinting as the branches hit her face and she held her free arm to her face in an attempt to avoid getting smacked, "they don't want you here" the boy said as he pulled her deeper into the forest, and for a moment she was confused, "wait what? Why would they not like me that much? Did i do something wrong?""it isn't you, it is what you are and what has happened since then" The boy replied continuing to pull her about, "they figure if they get rid of you they can get rid of a threat that has been harming our village for years, but don't worry i wont let anyone-" the boys words were cut off as a blur jumped from the brush to their left and tackled him, causing him to loose his grip on her wrist as he fell to the ground underneath a huge wolf. "You move and you loose a wrist"The wolf turned into a woman with ears and a tail as her hands wrapped around his wrists. "And don't i won't hesitate" she hissed seeming to have a problem with him.

The man smiled lightly as he looked down from the tree he was standing in. He hummed lightly when the werewolf tackled the fire spirit and saw his chance. He hopped down from the tree and fell lightly to the ground barely making a sound when he hit the ground. He smiled a friendly smile and said, "Now now, there's no need to go around attacking people Kayla. The fire spirit is simply giving the human some much needed help." The man still had that friendly stone grin on his face. The way his skin looked and how smooth his clothes seemed, it was almost as though he was made of stone. This was closer to the truth than one would think. The 'man' was actually a living statue. His 'skin' was actually a synthetic resin coated over a hard, porcelain-like statue. The man was tough in a fight, and he hit like a freight train, being a statue had its bonuses. He continued to smile and eyed the scene with a stony gaze before a few creatures came up behind him. With the speed of a whirlwind, the man produced a sharp black knife, which looked as though it was made of cement. His movements blurred by his speed, he managed to cut three of the creatures down before they could even blink. He was still smiling when he looked behind him and said, "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, you surprised me! I meant to aim a bit higher, go for the throat you know, but I was a bit too far and I went for your chests instead. Sorry, it's going to be very slow and painful this way." He smiled at the rest of the creatures who backed away from the man, before turning back to Kayla and the fire spirit, the human woman just on the other side of the pair of them. He continued smiling and asked, "So can we be friendly and civil about this?"===== James awoke with a start, looking around and not seeing Lyra nearby, he cursed his carelessness. He opened the car door and got out quickly. He looked in the direction of the unfolding scene, sensing an enormous power nearby. James gritted his teeth and turned towards the other car in the vicinity; Merrill's car. James was sealed again, and his power was greatly decreased, much lower than the one nearby. He would need Jack and Merrill's help if he wanted to rescue Lyra. He made his way quickly to the car and opened the passenger side door, not seeing Jack or Merrill in the front seats. He glanced towards the back and immediately closed his eyes and said, "Okay, you both need to get some clothes on. Merrill, I'll go back to the organization with you, but I need both you and Jack's help at the moment. There's an unbelievable power level nearby, not sure if you two were too occupied to notice. Just come help me when you're... clothed." James shut the car door and turned back to the source, heading towards where he knew Lyra was.as He got closer, James grit his teeth harder and harder together as he approached; the power level was massive, oppressive even. The amount of corruption seeping from this source even made James sick to his stomach. This wasn't something that he had ever encountered before. He stopped about ten feet from the man, seeing the werewolf on top of the fire spirit, with Lyra on thee other side of them. He stood there for a moment and then spoke to the statue, "You must be one hell of a living statue. Who are you and what the hell do you want here?" It took quite a bit of restraint from James to not attack the man. Every one of his instincts screamed at him to attack the statue or run or do something to get rid of that massive amount of corruption. ===== Merrill was surprised when the door was flung open, but she took in everything at a moments thought. It was true, she and Jack had been too distracted to notice the power level that was now unbearably apparent. Merrill could feel James presence when he was unsealed, but that was just a vague notion of the area he was in, this power source was large enough for her to figure out exactly where it was. it was nearly twice the amount of power James had let off while unsealed. She doubted that James could fight this thing while sealed, unsealed e might have had a chance, simply because he was much more efficient that way. She snapped out of her momentary thought process and said to Jack, "Come on, I've got a spare set of clothes in here for me somewhere, either help me find them or get your own clothes on, we need to go help James." With that, Merrill broke away from the intensely romantic moment with Jack. Crisis was calling and she needed to answer the call.===== David smiled and bobbed lightly as he ate in one of the restaurants nearby. The fire spirit had ditched him, and David decided not to follow. He hummed lightly as he ate, feeling the power level nearby didn't even faze him. He wasn't interested, he knew no one was going to die over there. The power level was insignificant compared to David's true power level, which he hardly ever showed, he was content to simply be a watcher and wait for his opportunity to take some souls. He took a sip of his herbal tea and asked the waitress for another plate of the food he had ordered. She was certainly flustered by the power level, and by the fact that David seemed to be unaffected, seeing as how he was on his eighth plate of food. David smiled and hummed lightly to the music he had playing.

Kayla was greatly distracted as the stone man jumped from his heights to address them, stunned she jumped off the young spirit to face the man before her, claws unsheathed and fangs extending as she shifted into half form. Why had she not noticed him before? this power level was shocking so why had she not noticed him way ahead of time... "what the hell are you doing here?" she snapped one clawed hand hovering over a hand gun strapped to her hip. She knew a threat when she saw it, and had some control over her actions unlike her red mother.
Stone, she thought taking in his scent as she crouched in a defencive position. how in the hell could they make a living being out of stone? she thought, nearly loosing her temper as the creature swung about and attacked the men that had been chasing the fire spirit and the human. clenching her teeth she had the gun drawn and aimed at the stone man in the blink of an eye. "who the hell are you and how do you know my name" she said watching him for any sign that he might attack. this person made the skin on the back of her neck tingle, and she knew her hackles would have stood on end if she had been in full wolf form.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyra barely knew what was happening, as she stumbled back into the tree
as the were woman attacked the fire boy, and then another man appeared out of no where making Lyra feel sick to her stomach as he simply stood there. she gasped as the man attacked the approaching creatures, and nearly cut them in half as if they were mere rag dolls or toys. Wide eyed she glanced from the bleeding creatures to the figure, breathing faster as she felt their pain lance across her own chest.
They didnt deserve that she thought hand clutching to her own chest as she stared at the men writhing on the ground. she wanted to help them, hated to see others in pain, and as they all were distracted she tried to crawl over to the injured men, to help them as her chest constricted and her world swam from the sight of blood, her bod began to feel heavy and she was starting to falter when a voice rang through the fog, "you must be one hell of a living statue" James Lyra looked up to see him on the other side of the man and were woman who was poised to attack the strange figure. "James" she said to let him know that she was here, trying to get up and go to him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lavi gasped as the were woman rolled off of him, he had no clue who she was or what she wanted with him, but he had noticed the murderous intent in her voice that would have marked a deep dislike for what he was an not him specifically. She let him go as the stranger appeared and Lavi rolled away, angry with the woman for tackling him so easily. Turning to the human he moved to her side to see if she was okay noticing she was having a hard time breathing and focusing "Miss are you alright?" he asked as he found his own hands shaking from the mans power, His force was squeezing him being so close, so he could only imagine it must have been crushing her if she could sense it. placing his hands on her shoulders he tried to rouse her from her daze, but she did not respond until the demon arrived, and even then she only seemed to want to move to him, which meant she would run right into the figure. "wait you cant go that way" he said grabbing her arm and she turned to look at him with a dazed and surprised look in her eyes. "James" she murmured again and tried to pull away from him and head back in James' direction. Lavi held onto her to keep her from walking into the stone figure, "not a good idea" he said and pulled her back again, this man might be much worse than the others they had run from.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
James waitied for a moment and watched as Merrill began to search for the extra clothes she said she had and began to pull his pants on. "Merrill, Why do you trust that demon," he asked silently, he had ignored James for Merrill's sake, not wanting to ruin his moment with her, "he is not one to be so easily trusted, you know we don't get along, so why did you go to him?" he asked tossing his shirt over her head as he reached for the door handle to check the trunk where she would have most likely left an extra set of clothes, but he wanted to wait for her to cover herself before he opened the door.

The man smiled and turned to face James for a moment, then turned his head back to the werewolf woman. He continued grinning and said, "Deary me, everyone is so hostile today. And I only dropped in to say hi." The man smiled at the group of people around him, his look and personality were only betrayed by the sheer immensity of the power and killing intent he was giving off. He smiled again at the were woman and said, "Who I am isn't important, and as for how I know your name, you have been employed by my employers for several bounty missions. I was in charge of keeping track of you and making sure you came through. I was, of course, hiding my presence, so you wouldn't notice me." He smiled at her and turned back to James and said, "James, right? the Demon Overseer of Justice, yes? Glad to meet you." The man extended his hand to shake, still smiling at James.
=====
Not only did James not shake the man's hand, but he took a fairly large step back as well. Frowning, he called out to Lyra on the other side of the man and the werewolf, "Lyra, I want you to go with the fire spirit, You can trust him. Go back to the car, I'll be along soon." James took a stance that was ready to strike at the man at a moment's notice. He spoke to the werewolf on the other side of the man, "I don't know who you are or what the deal is with this guy, but I think it might be best to try and combine our efforts. Hopefully some more help will be along soon." James never wavered his gaze from the stone man, making sure he didn't so much as twitch the wrong way.
=====
Merrill sighed when Jack slipped his shirt over her. She wanted to just stay here with him for a little while longer, have him hold her i his arms again, but she knew she couldn't, James had asked for their help, and since he had agreed to help her, it was a fair trade. "Jack, James is a Demon Overseer of Justice, I highly doubt he'll do anything terrible or go back on his end of the deal. Besides, we need him." Merrill opened the door to the car and moved around to the trunk. Opening it, she found her bag of clothes and go0t back into the car. Slipping her shorts on and handing Jack back his shirt so she could put hers back on, she continued, "I understand that you have a bit of a history with him, and while I don't know what that history was, I don't really need to know. He's the only one who can help us with the problem we have. It does us no good to get caught up in personal feuds when the fate of all non-human magical creatures is at stake." Merrill put her holster back on as well, checking her pistols before looking at jack and leaning over onto him, running her finger along his chest, tracing his muscles gently with her fingertip and saying, "Besides... It's not as though I trust him more than I trust you... I trusted you with things I've never trusted anyone else." Merrill leaned up and kissed Jack before getting out of the car and scanning the area. She wasn't about to head into a fight with a force that powerful without jack by her side.

Lyra snapped out of her trance and moved back against the fire spirit as she heard James talk to her, she panted slightly still feeling the pressure of the monsters power crushing her small and simple human body. she wanted to stay with James, but he had told her to leave with the red head, so she nodded slightly. she had put all her trust into him when they had left the apartment. She hated having to leave, perhaps later when she had an idea as to what was going on she could refuse.
Feeling the tug from the red haired boy she slowly began to follow without resisting. James, you have to keep your promise she thought, watching him as she followed before turning and running after the fire spirit.
------------------------------
James watched her get out of the car, licking his lips after she had kissed him and suddenly he could not help himself as he reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her back and kissing her once more, longer than the last one. When he broke the kiss he watched her for a moment, expressing his feelings with his eyes for a moment before turning away and grabbing his shirt."I will follow you and only you Merrill" he said, his eyes once more turning the cold blue they usually where, and he turned back to her. "This is no ordinary monster, Merrill" he said and began to walk in the direction of the immense power just as Lyra and Lavi came running out. Stopping in his tracks he stared at the two.
--------------------------------
Kayla snarled at the marble man, hating his words, but believing them all the same. she had taken many jobs when she was younger, much to the disappointment of his mothers as well as her self, but each time she would tell her self it was only until she gained a reputation that she would be forced to do this. Baring her fangs she wanted to snarl again, a baby sitter? A baby sitter! she was pissed at the idea, did they not think she was capable enough? had they sent him to take the prey when she had been slaughtered! thoroughly pissed she fired at the freak as she pulled other gun. Ignoring James, as she resisted the urge to run at the stone man.
