[Evil Tink]

She placed her hand on his shoulder, quickly teleporting them back to Serus's room. "We're back Serus"

Serus sat forward in the chair, "Welcome back. What did they want with Seth?" She turned her head to face Seth, "Anything important?"

[Bovice]

"I'm going to be honest with you Serus." He said as he looked at Jaelynn. "They saw me kill Dragos and they want me to kill Layla." Seth said trying to hide his other option which he wasn't going to do.

[Evil Tink]

She nodded, "Understandable I suppose, but no offense, I don't think you can. I've tried three times." She shrugged, "We can't burn her because of her immunity...I've cut out her heart once already...and I don't think I could get close enough to decapitate her, but she'd probably just regenerate her head."

Jaelynn frowned, "I'm sure we'll think of something. Now, while our scouts are out looking for her, what do you suggest we do Serus?"

[Bovice]

"There has to be away to kill Layla." Seth thought. Seth looked at Jaelynn then back at Serus "Yes what shall we do?" Seth said deep in thought. You could tell something was troubling Seth.

[Evil Tink]

Serus could tell something was wrong, but was unsure if she should ask. She bit her lip, curiosity quickly overcoming her. She was debating if she was going to search Seth's mind for it. "I'm not so sure myself. I guess all we can do is wait?"

[Bovice]

Seth kept replaying what happened with the council in his head "KILL SERUS ANTINORI!!!" He got to that part he got really angry. Seth did a Spinning back heel kick to the bed post and broke it in half. "Fuckers!." He yelled as his foot landed back on the ground. "I'm going for a walk." He said as he went over and grabbed his jacket. "I'll be back shortly." He said as he gently placed a kiss on Serus' cheek and walked out the door.

[Evil Tink]

Serus gasped, "Seth! Haven you learned nothing when it comes to my stuff!?" She let out a growl going over to pick up the large wooden pieces. "Jae, I know something else happened..what was it?"

Jaelynn shrugged, "He wouldn't tell me. He just said it was nothing and demanded to be brought back here. Don-don't you get that look on her face. You know better than to go meddling in others' minds. Serus...Serus!"

Serus ignored Jaelynn as she hurriedly followed Seth out. She followed his scent until she caught up with him, "Seth, please tell me what's wrong? I want to help you."

[Bovice]

"I'm sorry Serus but I can't tell you." Seth said as he tried to get away. He knew that he'd have to tell her sometime though.

[Evil Tink]

She frowned, hurrying after him, "I can be quite stubborn Seth. Please just tell me, I'm sure whatever it is, we can work it out. I know it involves the Council." She placed her hand gently on Seth's shoulder, then gripped it firmly and stopped him, turning him so they were facing each other. "Please Seth?"

[Bovice]

"(Sigh) That's one thing I love about you." Seth said with a little smile. "I'll tell you but I don't want you to do anything rash. Promise me that? Please?" Seth said apprehensive.

[Evil Tink]

Serus became slightly worried, but nodded, "Of course." She smiled slightly, the apprehension from Seth making her quite nervous herself.

[Bovice]

"Well they gave me a few choices. I could either kill Layla or (gulp) you." Seth said slightly infuriated.

[Evil Tink]

Serus gasped, flabbergasted, "Excuse me? Or me? Listen you, you march right back up stairs with Jaelynn and you go and tell them exactly what you think of that! There's no way that I'm going to allow this to happen."

She narrowed her eyes, turning on her heel and walking away in a huff.

[Bovice]

"Damn it! Serus!" Seth said as he ran to catch up with her. "Serus!" He said as he caught up with her. He swooped in front of her. "First I could never hurt you. Second I told them I couldn't kill you. So they told me to kill Layla, and I will. I love you Serus and I will do everything in my power to either kill her or help you kill her." Seth said as he almost tripped because he was walking backwards.

[Evil Tink]

"It's not that I think you'll do it, cause I know you won't. It's the fact that they thing they can make you choose that irritates me. They know you would never kill me, and therefore they make you want to kill Layla, knowing you'll fail just like me, except you won't make it out alive."

After a moment of seething, she said, "And that's what irritates me. They can't just send you on a suicide run like that." She pushed him aside and stormed past him and up the stairs to her room.

Jaelynn tilted her head as Serus stormed in, "What's wrong? Serus answer me dammit. What the hell are you doing?" She watched as Serus stormed across the room.

Serus ignored Jaelynn, stomping over to her closet and throwing the door open. She pulled out an exact copy of her dress, glaring at Jaelynn before heading to the bathroom to change. After what seemed like an eternity, she headed back out to see Seth there as well. She opened her mouth to say something, thought about it, then closed her mouth and continued to an empty wall.

She pounded on the wall, a panel sliding back to reveal a keypad. She quickly inputted the proper code, the wall sliding back to reveal a shallow room with another code guarded door. She whirled around to face the two, "Since it seems that I won't let you keep anything hidden from me, I suppose it's fair to do the same. You both know the Council wants me dead. You also know there's a severely dark reason behind it that involves little Miss Layla."

Why do I get the feeling I'm really not going to like this? she thought herself, tensing slightly as Serus spoke. "What are you talking about Mistress? You told me, you did nothing wrong. Have you lied to me!?" Jaelynn was now angry as she could sense Serus's emotions. She did lie! "Seth! Her aura, what is it saying?"

[Bovice]

Seth stood there worried at what Serus said. When he was snapped out of his daze by Jaelynn "Well." He said as he adjusted his eyes. "Holy shit. I've never seen anything like this." Seth said dumbfounded. "Her aura is like a rainbow. There's light pink which is her main aura color, a light red which is lust, blue for truth, a darker red for anger, black for resentment, and white for lie's." Seth said still shocked.
