[Evil Tink]

Acera snapped her fingers, the lights flicking on. She looked down at Abraxas from her raised spot at the table. "You disappoint me Abraxas...You can't even manage to kill one little vampire without screwing that up. Now Az..oh..I lied..Irith has Seth's spirit but that's not to say Azriel won't get it back. While she will get her punishment, you require immediate attention." She stood, carrying a small standard looking dagger with her. She stepped down from the raised floor and stood in front of Abraxas, "You are a disgrace to demons everywhere. Why Irith wanted you at her side during her mission, I have no idea, but we cannot allow your stupidity to go unchecked any longer."

Serus crashed into the wall, making no move to get up. She sighed, and after a moment, she finally rolled onto her back and sat up, looking at Jaelynn. She opened her mouth to speak, but decided against it.

Jaelynn pinched the bridge of her nose, "Serus..you really think I would let his spirit get taken by a stranger? That was Jen you moron...Sean's girlfriend...they're at Solomon's house..encountering some issues with the female demon." She stood, walking over and kneeling next to Serus, "Please...forgive me. You were right.." She reached into her pocket, pulling out a shiny new pocket watch. She turned it over, revealing the intricate Antinori Seal on the back, "Please come back...the Antinoris, and the Council needs you."

Azriel growled, her hand going to the hilt of her sword, "Save yourself the trouble, just drop Seth and pull her stupid head off already. Save me the theatrics Irith and just kill me already; if that's what you aim to do."

Irith grinned, "I will gladly comply~" She turned her hand over, the smokey orb falling form her hand and crashing in the floor. It's shape distorted as it flattened, then dissipated. She then took Melody's head in her now free hand, grabbing onto a chunk of her hair, "Did you want to say good bye Little Miss Melody?"

Azriel flicked her hand ever so slightly as Seth's spirit dropped, turning it invisible and sending it to his body, "Get him out of here...get him to Jaelynn." She swayed a bit, having used quite a bit of power crudely reattaching Seth's spirit.

Melody squealed, "N-no..not a-again..please!" She brought her arms up to the woman's hand around her hair, trying to get her to let go. "M-Mystic..Holden..s-someone please help..." Her voice shook as if she were crying, but no tears feel from her fake eyes.

Irith looked down to her, "Aww...so touching~ You're worthless..you can't do anything for yourself you stupid girl." She began to pull on her hair, threatening to snap the joint of her head/neck area...the gears were already grinding roughly on each other now.

Mystic came crashing down form his portal, his large frame landing on Irith's shield, cracking it with a thunderous noise. His eyes glowed a bright violet as he broke the barrier with his telekinesis. He landed on top of the two, being careful not to crush Melody and teleporting her to Azriel's arms, "I've got this under control love." He quickly pulled out his knife before she could react, stabbing her in the middle of her forehead.

Melody's screams were silent once more as she was taken from Irith's grip. She clung to Azriel, her body shaking violently. Her terrified eyes glanced over to Mystic, wishing that she never followed Alicia out. None of this would've happened. It was all her fault. She went limp in Azriel's arms as she realized this, burying her face into the woman's armor.

Irith laughed, feeling the knife penetrate her skull, "Mystic, dear.." she sat up after kicking him off her, "I don't think that will work..don't you remember the last time we tried this?" She grabbed the hilt, pulling it from her head, the wound healing instantly before a drop of blood could be shed.
