[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn paused a moment, a few yards back, "I don't really know Seth.. We can't just tell her, that'd be too much to handle. I guess we just play it by ear. You should speak first, since she already knows you."

Elysia was confused as they stopped. After a second, she slid off her stood, heading over. "Is something wrong Seth? You look..pale. And who's this lovely lady?" She smiled slightly, holding out her hand, "My name's Elysia LaShalla, pleasure to meet you."

Jaelynn was surprised as she came over, "Not what I had planned." She smiled back slightly, taking the woman's hand and shaking it gently, "Jaelynn Antinori; likewise." Jaelynn shivered a bit as she touched Elysia's mind, quickly pulling her hand back, "Ah, er...sorry..static shock."

[Bovice]

"Nothing's wrong." Seth said a little flummoxed. "What is she? I can't get a read on her at all." Seth thought to himself. "What's wrong?" Seth asked Jaelynn when he saw her pull away. Seth adjusted his eye's to look at her aura. "Its a light red." Seth thought a little surprised. "Light red is her aura Jaelynn." Seth said as he readjusted his eye's.

[Evil Tink]

"Nothing..I'm alright..Get ready, I may have..perhaps broken a little barrier in her mind? I found a dark spot in her memories and gave it a..knock so to say. I don't know what's inside this spot, but we'll soon find out. What do we do if it is her?"

Elysia yanked her hand back as well, a dazed look coming upon her face. An image of a white haired woman wearing a torn blue and white dress flashed in her mind, white hot flames surrounding her. Her eyes widened slightly as she suddenly felt as if she was burning,"Somethings..wrong.."

[Bovice]

"I don't know, hope she doesn't kick our asses." Seth grabbed Elysia because she stumbled backwards. "Are you all right?" He asked as he felt something, like stuff was being pulled out of his head. He quickly helped her gain her balance and let go.

"When you shook her hand did you feel like stuff was being pulled from your head? I don't think she was doing it on purpose I think its subconsciously." Seth asked as he looked at Jaelynn. He caught whiff on something, something familiar. "Serus is in there I smelled her." Seth said with wide eye's.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn nodded, kneeling down, peering around at the nearly empty carnival, "I did, that's why I pulled my hand away. Not to mention I could sense stress coming from her. I think she could see something as well.I'm keeping everyone unaware of what's going on. It's up to you to make sure her mind stays stable. I'm a bit tired from helping your daughter." She placed a hand on Elysia's forehead, she was burning up. "Don't get too excited Seth. I have no idea how this will affect her. We may loose her forever, memory wise. I can only replace them, not..her, so to say."

Elysia began to shake, her heart racing and her lungs burning as she gasped for air. Thousands of images and scenes flashed before her eyes, and the farther back in time they went, the more violent they became. She just couldn't process it all. She looked up at Seth, vaguely noting that both him and Jaelynn were in these images. "Who..are you?"

[Bovice]

Seth concentrated to keep her mind stable. "We are here to help you." Seth said still trying to keep her mind from exploding with all of the images she was receiving. "Jaelynn I think you should stop her mind is close to exploding. I'm trying really hard to keep it from doing that." Seth said trying to keep her whole body from going into catastrophic failure. Seth also went into Elysia's mind to help her compartmentalize all of this information. "Jaelynn you need to stop now she's gonna have a brain aneurysm, and I mean literally." Seth said concerned.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn nodded, knocking Elysia unconscious and forcing the images back into that little hole in her brain. "I know. We need to take her with us, you get her back to my manor, I'll deal with her boss." She stood with a sigh and walking off.

Even while she was unconscious, the images she had already experienced playing before her again and again, but at a more..comprehensible way. She writhed a bit, her face mildly contorted with the strange images flashing by.

[Bovice]

Seth grabbed Elysia before she fell to the ground. "Jaelynn do you have enough power to get back?" Seth asked as she started to walk off. Seth walked to a spot where he could teleport without anyone seeing him. While walking he blocked people's minds so they wouldn't see him carrying Elysia. Seth found a spot with no one around and teleported back to Jaelynn's. Seth put her on the couch in the study. He quickly teleported to his kitchen to get some blood for him and Jaelynn. He teleported back to the study and Elysia was still there knocked out. He poured himself a glass of blood and drank it down, still waiting for Jaelynn to get back.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn waved it off as Seth asked, "Of course I do!" She weaved through the fair, searching for what would be pinned as the main tent. "Ahh..well, here we go."

Elysia was out for only a few minutes until a shocking image woke her up. "No! Don't!" she yelled out, quickly curling up in a tight ball, the image very clear in her mind. She was breathing heavily, trying to banish the scene from her mind. After a moment, she sat up, looking around to find Seth standing only a few feet away.

"I..I know you.." Shaking slightly, she stood, walking over to him. Soon she was right in front of him, looking up at him. When she spoke, her voice had that familiar ring of Serus to it, "I've never..seen your face..this clearly before. Only..reflections or memories from another." She reached out to touch his face, but fell to her knees. "What is going on? Someone please tell me."

[Bovice]

Seth was startled a little bit when Elysia yelled out. "Are you.." Seth started to say when she got up off of the couch. He caught her as she fell to her knees. "We are trying to help you remember." Seth said looking into her eye's. He saw Serus in there but not fully. "Elysia does the name Serus mean anything to you now?" Seth asked hoping she'd say yes. He didn't give her time to answer.

"Maybe I can help you even more." Seth said as he gently caressed her cheek. He lifted her head up and gently placed a kiss on her lips. While he was kissing her he went into her mind to explore the dark spot Jaelynn was talking about. He broke the kiss when he felt Jaelynn coming back. He stood her up and gingerly walked her back to the couch. "Serus is defiantly behind that black spot, but how do we break open that black spot without killing her?" Seth thought to himself as he sat her down on the couch.

[Evil Tink]

Elysia was about to answer him when suddenly he kissed her. Before she could retort and break the kiss, or do anything else, he stopped and started to usher her towards the couch. "Excuse me!?" She flailed around, forcing Seth to hold her tightly by the waste, off the ground in a slightly horizontal position. "Just who do you think you are!? Let me go! Heellloo!? Can you not hear me? Are stupid? I said 'let me go!' you dim-witted sack!" She flailed around, letting out a scream of frustration, unable to break free.

Jaelynn had appeared in her study at the wrong time. She appeared sitting in her chair, one leg crossed over the other as she watched the scene unfold. She was slightly amused, but frowned nonetheless. If this kept up, she might have to permanently block the memories and erase this moment of time from her mind. And that, she definitely did not want to do. She remained silent, deciding to let Seth handle this.

Suddenly, she went limp, staring at the ground. "...I've called you that before. No..wait..not sack..lump of flesh..." She nervously combed her hair with her hands, her body tensing slightly. "I don't understand what's going on. Why won't you tell me?" She looked up at him. her red eyes pleading.

[Bovice]

"That's from when we first met." Seth thought to himself as he was getting hit. "Damn it! Fine I'll tell you." Seth said a little enraged. "The thing is we know who you really are." Seth said with a quick breath. "Your really not Elysia LaShalla your really Serus Antinori." Seth said as he sensed Jaelynn. "So your just going to sit there and do nothing Jaelynn?" Seth said slightly peeved. "That kiss brought back the lump of flesh comment from when we first met eight years ago." Seth said letting go of her. He turned around and walked towards the desk combing through his hair with his fingers. He turned around wanting to say something but didn't.

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn smiled slightly, "Of course. This isn't my fight. you kissed her. And yelling at her like that, a bit over the top, but perhaps necessary. Yes?" She leaned over to look at the woman, "And there's so much more, but let's see how she handles this first."

Elysia stood there, watching him silently. I still don't understand. I was told my name was Elysia...why would the doctors lie to me? She finally noticed Jaelynn, "Ah! Where the heck did you come from!? You...teleported." She said after a moment. Something was nagging her in the back of her mind, yet if she tried to focus on it, it went away.

Jaelynn stood, "That I did, Serus. Now listen to me...very closely. Understand?" She walked over as the woman nodded, "I'm going to do something quite shocking to you. I'm hoping it will help you remember." She gently swept some of her hair from her neck, placing her index finger on her forehead, "I'm going to release that dark spot in your mind, but I will control it for you. Bear with me, I will also help you store them."

Elysia tensed, something about these two was way off. Suddenly it hit her as Jaelynn touched her, "V..vampire?" She got no response, or if she did, she didn't hear it. Memories played in fast forward, certain images lingering longer than others. As she viewed these a third time, things started to make sense.

She grabbed Jaelynn's shoulder as she absorbed the details, "I think..." After some silence, she rubbed her eyes a bit, pulling out the damn contacts. Her dark red-brown eyes scanned the room, resting on Jaelynn for a moment. She gently grabbed a bit of Jaelynn's hair, letting her fingers comb through it.

Suddenly, she dodged past Jaelynn, jumping at Seth, grabbing his hands firmly, "I can actually see you..." She paused, "Seth Augustin! I recognize that name. I met you outside a tea shop..." She looked up at him with hopeful eyes, "And..there was this man..that irritated you..umm.." She was silent as she tried to recall the name, but could not.

[Bovice]

"I was trying to help her." Seth said looking at Jaelynn. "A tea shop in Washington, yes." Seth said scanning Elysia or Serus he wasn't sure yet. "His name was Cecil. I defeated him in a duel to take over my coven." Seth said hopeful as well. "What else do you remember Serus?" Seth asked hoping for more that would lead her back to where they were before she died.

[Evil Tink]

She jumped a bit, remembering Cecil and the battle, "Yes! Cecil! That means...where's Felix?" She glanced around, but did not find him. She looked back to Seth, "This..woman...she has white hair and eyes like ice." She paused a moment, "Layla..I remember.." She let him go and hurrying out of the room and down the hall.

"Serus! Where are you going?" Jaelynn hurriedly followed her, knowing Seth was right behind her. She found her in her old room, staring into the secret room where she once held Layla. Jaelynn frowned, stepping aside so Seth could enter first.

She started into the room with a frown, "I..kept her here..studying her. I wanted to know..things. I don't exactly remember.." She took a hesitant few steps into the room, gasping. "Oh my god..." She fell to her knees, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Fire..all I see is white fire...and it hurts. Make it stop!" She hugged herself tightly, "You promised me you wouldn't go after her! Why did you lie to me?"

She stood, whirling around, glaring at the two, "This is all your fault! If you would've kept your promise, perhaps I wouldn't have been killed! What were you thinking?" She clenched her fists, but after a moment, she let out a heaving sigh, leaning on the wall for support, hold her head in her hand.

[Bovice]

"Serus!" Seth yelled as he went running after her. They found her in her old room. Seth walked in when Jaelynn stepped aside. "Serus we were hoping to beat her before anything bad happened to you." Seth said stepping into the secret room. "We loved you, we didn't want to see you get hurt." He said as he stood in front of her. "If you want to you can kick my ass like you did when we first met." Seth said with a halfhearted smile.
