[Evil Tink]

"If you were sorry, you would not have continued to disgrace me you fool." She sighed, returning to her chair, crossing one leg over the other, twirling her hair around her finger, "Let's see...the doll is not really my concern..I just want those two dead..they think they can break my rules and get away with it? I think not." She looked to the man sitting next to her, "Don't you agree?" She gently ran her finger along his chin with a sadistic grin, "I will teach a lesson to the entire Community as to what happens when you disobey me like they have." Her red eyes glowed softly as she grabbed the man's neck, "Get me Azriel...Mystic will coming running for his precious wife within a few seconds."

The man nodded, "Of course Acera. I will have her in your hands by the end of the hour." With that, he vanished.

Solomon slammed his card on the counter, "Give it all to me. Right now. I have no time to waste."

The man nodded, hurrying about to get the order rang up and payment set.

Serus began to feel weak and was forced to stop helping Jaelynn. She fell back slightly on her butt, going over to the watch and examining it again. She really meant her statement of stepping down. She was sick of handling everyone's problems and not having enough time for her own, or to spend time with her family. Her finger traced the pattern on the cover as she thought. "Holden..?" she looked over to him with a frown, "..are you alright?"

Jaelynn swayed a bit, trying to stay focused at the task at hand. It took her much longer than when Mystic and Azriel had attached the spirits, as they did it the proper way. She had to start from scratch..no spell, no circle, and certainly no ring of demons to help her.

Suddenly Melody found herself crashing to the floor in front of Holden; missing her entire right arm and her right foot. Her green dress was beyond repair; black and purple blood coated her body; obviously not hers. She looked around frantically, not understanding what had really happened the past 20 minutes. Her eyes quickly fell upon Holden and she did her best to crawl over; a few gears grinding against each other as she moved. She curled up on the floor next to him, shutting her eyes tightly.
