[Evil Tink]

Serus was not pleased with his tone, but the news he gave her was worse. She sighed looking to Seth, "Well...that answers that. But I still don't understand why it would take her 10 years to come after us. Not to mention the only previous council member still alive is Kitra..."

[Bovice]

Seth looked at Serus. "I don't think Kitra would do this." Seth said as he sat down on the bed. "I don't know why either, maybe she has been watching us and learning everything about us." Seth said as he put his head in his hands. "I don't know what to do." Seth said with a deep sigh.

"Welcome back Master Abraxas." A woman walked up to him when he appeared.
"Ahh thank you Kayla." He said as he started to walk down the hall.
"You are welcome sir, how did your meeting go with the vampires?" Kayla asked following him.
"The blood sucking fiends? It went well but they are creepy." He said with a shudder. "Have you found out anything else about Azriel?" He asked.
"No sir I haven't but I have a few people looking into her." She said looking at the floor.

"It's okay. As long as we find out more about her before she attacks next." He said as he opened the door.
"I will tell you when we find something out." Kayla said as she went down the hall.
Abraxas shut to door and walked to the middle of the room. "Hello Masters." He said with a bow. "The vampires are possibly on board, I need to give them some information and they possibly will help us when we get rid of her." Abraxas said as he took a seat. "Also the council has no idea what is going on, and once we get this sorted out we can take care of the council." He said with an evil smile.

[Evil Tink]

Serus sighed, "I doubt shed wait that long. She is very intelligent though..and..I think I know why she hasn't killed us yet. She's testing us...to see how much effort it would be." She looked to the floor with a frown, "I feel so inferior to the demons. Their power is so intense compared to ours. I hate to admit it but we're going to need what'd-his-face's help..."

[Bovice]

"Great." Seth said falling back on the bed. "She's having fun while we are getting our asses kicked." Seth said with a sigh. "Well he said he will be back soon." Seth said sitting up. "We need some more blood I will go and get some I need some fresh air." Seth said as he went to the bathroom. "Man I am dirty." He said looking at his shirt.

[Evil Tink]

Serus nodded, "If you want..I'm going to try and contact the kids in a bit, so hurry back. I'm sure they will want to speak with you as well." She looked to Felix, "So your clairvoyance abilities can't sense her? I wonder if it's because she cannot be detected? Have you tried an alternative method of seeing?"

[Bovice]

"I will." Seth said as he washed his face.
"I have tried everything that I know of except for magic." Felix said rubbing his temples.
Seth walked out of the bathroom. "I will be back shortly." Seth said as he gave Serus a kiss. "Call me if anything goes down." Seth said as he teleported.

[Evil Tink]

"Interesting..." She sat forward, her elbows on her legs and her chin resting upon laced fingers. "I don't think it's her suppressing your power. So what allows her to remain invisible to us? I don't think it's the fact that she's a demon, I could sense Abraxas when he was here earlier. So what's so special about her?"

Suddenly there were screams outside the Hall. After a few seconds, there was silence. A few seconds more, the doors burst open and a white haired, gray skinned girl stormed through the doors. She appeared to be about 6 years old and was wearing an all black, Lolita styled dress. She fiddled a bit with the black bow on the back of her head as she stormed into the Council room.

Only a few steps behind her strode in a similar looking woman, wearing tight black leather and black combat-esque boots. In her hand, she was dragging the female butler, Kayla by the hair. Their orange eyes glowed slightly as they approached the panel. The woman stood behind the girl, who now had her arms crossed.

"Abraxas Lucifer Ward!" The woman was the one who was speaking. "Just who do you think you are? Sending this..creature and her nerds after my past?" She threw the girl forward at him, then crossed her arms. "Call off your sycophants or I will."

[Bovice]

"Ah Azriel so we meet again." Abraxas said standing. "I just want to get to know you my dear." He said walking close to her. "And who is this your little puppet?" He asked stroking the girls hair. "Hahaha your amazing, one question for you what is your deal with the vampires? We could rule our world together and you choose to go after those leeches." Abraxas said with a little anger in his voice. "Me and these great men want to put an end to all non-demons." He said with evil laugh. "Will you join us?" Abraxas asked extending his hand. "If not I can always kill you." He said with a smirk.

"I don't know, I really don't." Felix said a little annoyed.
Seth appeared next to Serus. "Here we go, this blood was just delivered today." Seth said with a smile. "Have you tried to contact the kids?" Seth asked as he tossed a bottle at Felix. "Where's Sean?" Seth asked looking around.
"He said he was going out about two hours ago." Felix said looking at his watch.

"I see." Seth said handing a bottle to Serus. "Sean are you ok?" Seth asked as he sat on the bed.
"Ya I am good I'm at your house with the contractors trying to get your house fixed up for when that bitch is dead." Sean said as he took a drink of blood.
"Thanks bro." Seth said as he opened up a bottle.
"No problem." Sean said with a smile.

[Evil Tink]

The girl hissed, grabbing Abraxas's wrist as he touched her, then continued to twist his arm until he was to his knees and multiple snaps were heard from his joints as she broke them.

"Don't touch me you dog." the woman said with a slight scowl. Suddenly, the girl released him then stepped back next to the woman. "I have a contract to fulfill to that damn vampire council. I will take my money, then perhaps think about your ridiculous offer."

The woman's gray hands gently fixed the little girl's bow, making sure it was nice and straight and neat. They both narrowed their orange eyes, crossing their arms once more as the woman spoke again, "You couldn't hope to kill me Abraxas. You know I'm at least twice as strong as you."

Serus frowned, "I would I could have enough time to analyze her mind before she breaks me in half...I could figure it out then perhaps." She took the blood from Seth, taking a long sip from the bottle, "I did, and they're okay. Markus will bring me the books I asked for in a few minutes. He's trying to calm your daughter down...He also said she threatened him during the height of our battle."

[Bovice]

"How much money?" Abraxas asked as he stood up. "Well that's half the fun." Abraxas said as he set his arm. "Just think about it darling and let me know." He said with a smile. "Now if you would please go I have some more business to take care of. He said pointing to the door.

Seth sighed. "That girl will be the death of me." Seth said as he took another drink. "I should go and talk to her." Seth said grabbing his head. "I should have enough power to get there and back." Seth said looking at Serus. "I will talk to the twins as well." Seth said looking at the empty bottle. Seth got up and put the bottle on the night stand. Seth teleported to where he could smell her. He landed outside of Markus' house. "Annemarie Elisabeta Augustin!" Seth yelled opening the door.

"Daddy!" She said excited. She heard him yell her name. "Shit." She said under her breath, she ran to find something to hide behind.
"You can not hide from me, I can smell your fear." Seth said as he walked in and shut the door. "Annemarie, don't make me find you I am not in a good mood." Seth said knowing exactly where she was.
"Fine." She said in a huff and walked out from behind the curtain.
"How dare you threaten an Elder? If he would of brought you to me you would be dead. Do you understand that?" He said extremely pissed.

"I know I would of been able to help you." She said looking at the floor.
"How in the hell would you of been able to help me? You may be a vampire but right now you are a human, do you know how easy it would be to kill you?" Seth said as he walked closer to her.
"But daddy!" She said with a whine.
"NO! Do not but daddy me, when a elder or anyone older than you tells you what to do you do it. He would of been able to snap you neck like that." Seth said snapping his fingers.

"I'm sorry." She said ready to cry.
"Listen hunbun I am not the one you have to apologize to, that is Markus." Seth said as he gave her a hug.
"I will." She said hugging him back.
"Now where are your sisters?" Seth asked wiping a tear away.

[Evil Tink]

The girl shook her head slightly as she finally spoke, "I don't think so Abraxas. I told you to call off your lap-dogs. I can still feel their nerdy eyes on my back."

The woman went to the door, shutting it quietly behind her as she left the room.

"You should know by now that I am not the puppet. Really? You haven't figured it out? Damn, you're slow. Now, as for the vampire...I think I have an idea that will help you, and entertain me in the process." The girl took a seat, crossing her legs at the knee and resting her hands in her lap. "I'll take care of their Council for you, if you can do something for me in return. Now, I can't tell you what that is yet, but you don't really care. Just as long as your job is easier, who cares..right?" She grinned deviously, quickly smoothing her skirt quick.

Aria and Lexie came bolting around the corner, pouncing Seth to the ground, holding him tightly. Both of them gibbering and blubbering something about how they were worried, he should be careful, this and that.

Markus sighed, setting the books down on the table before Serus, "Here, this is all I could find."

"Even the Council Library?" She gingerly flipped open the cover of one, peering back to a still sleeping Jaelynn. "Markus..I want you to do something for me."

Sensing her serious tone, Markus nodded, "Of course, my dear. What?"

"I want you to take her with you, and the girls..." She bit her lip, a tremor or terror racking her body as she remembered the fight with the demon.

Markus was slightly concerned, placing a hand on Serus's shoulder, "Serus..what's wrong?"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at him, "I almost lost her...I want her to go with you. I think she'll be safe so as long as she doesn't interfere. The demon only attacked her because Jae saw her coming after me and tried to stop her." Her hand shook slightly as it hovered over the book, "Please, you have to take her and keep her away."

Markus furrowed his brow, mildly disturbed, "Serus, you know she won't stay. She'll find a way to get to you. She would do anything to help you. I love her as much as you, and would I would take her in a heartbeat if I could keep her away from the danger, but you know I can't." He wrapped his arms around her in a firm hug, "I will at least try to talk to her though, alright?"

Serus rested her head against his chest, seeing as he was a good 6 feet tall compared to her petite 5'6". "You have to try...she can't get involved or she might die. I don't even think her Projection abilities could save her."

[Bovice]

"Hahaha I knew, I just wanted to string it along a little." He said nodding his head. "You are right that is interesting. Even though it would be a walk in the park." Abraxas said with a smile. "I will do this little deal, just one thing can I toy with the vampire?" It seems like fun." He said with a smirk.

Seth turned around when he heard them running. "Crap." He said when he tried to stop them with telekinesis but couldn't. They tackled him to the ground. "GAH!!" Seth yelled out when he landed on the floor. "My ribs." Seth said in agony. "Annemarie help." he said as he reached out his hand.
"Owe." Annemarie said grabbing her abdomen when the twins and Seth landed on the floor breaking his ribs. "Lexi, Aria off. NOW!" Annemarie yelled pointing to the floor. "You just broke dad's ribs." She said still grasping her abdomen.

Seth sat up holding his abdomen. "You two will kill me." Seth said as he tried to stand up. Seth set his ribs as he got up. "Now one at a time. Aria you are first." Seth said as he walked over to the couch. Seth hugged Aria tightly. "Lexi come here." Seth said as he put Aria on his knee. He hugged Lexi, and then both of them together. Now you two I need to go back to mom so we can take care of this thing.

Seth gave everyone a kiss on the forehead and teleported back to the house. "What the?" Seth said when he saw Markus and Serus hugging. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Seth said very angry. "I can't believe this." Seth said wanting to kick Markus' ass. "I... I... I..." Seth tried to say but was to angry. Seth teleported to his house next to Sean.

"Holy." Sean said slightly surprised.
"Serus is fucking cheating on me." Seth said as he threw his hands.
"Are you serious? I don't believe you." Sean said shocked.
"She was fucking feeling up Markus." Seth said trying not to break anything.
"Seth settle down, I think you should let her explain." Sean said trying to calm Seth down.
"No I can't." Seth said trying to settle down.

[Evil Tink]

Azriel scoffed, "You can do whatever you want to him, I could care less. I'm just looking forward to seeing Serus again~ Even for a vampire she's quite strong. Perhaps, she'll even manage to hit me." She smiled darkly a bit as she thought of many various ways to kill Serus. She giggled softly, "And she's so..naive. She thinks she can save her precious family."

Serus quickly jumped away from Markus as she heard Seth, but before she could say anything, he was gone. "Dammit!"

Markus frowned, putting his hands in his pockets, "I'm sorry Serus."

She shook her head, placing her hands on her hips, "Eh, don't be. I can see where he'd get that idea. I'll talk to him in a minute...he gets so stubborn when he's seething. He cools off pretty quickly though..I'll wait 'til then." She sighed, running her hands through her hair, "Either way, I expect you and Jae to be gone when I get back."

Markus chuckled, rolling his eyes, "You're so demanding." He gave her another quick hug then went downstairs to find something to occupy his time until Serus left.

After a few minutes, Serus teleported herself to Seth's house, appeared a few feet in front of him. Her hands were still on her hips and her face was mildly annoyed. "You really think that after over ten years I would really cheat on you with Markus? Seth, it was a hug, nothing special." She frowned, her hands falling to her sides, "You know that I love you, and only you. Markus was just...comforting me. I..asked him to take Jae with him, to keep her and the girls out of danger. That's all." Worry came upon her face, unsure of how he was going to react, "You have to trust me Seth."

[Bovice]

"Hahaha this will be amazingly fun." Abraxas said with a laugh. "Now I have to go meet with our council." He said as he looked at his watch. "Have fun." Abraxas said as he disappeared.

"I grr I." Seth said calming down. He believed her but he didn't know about Markus, did he still have feelings for Serus or not. "Serus I believe you, I just don't trust him." Seth said trying to think of what else to say. "I just... I don't know." Seth said rubbing his head. "You already know this but I would give my life for you, Jaelynn, and the kids." Seth said with a sigh.

"Seth shut up, ok just shut up. You need to fucking get over your jealousy. This woman loves you, now I know that she would NEVER cheat on you." Sean said as he slapped Seth in the back of the head.

"What the fuck Sean?" Seth said rubbing his head.
"Shut up, if you would fucking listen to me for five god damn seconds. I lost the woman I loved because I thought she was cheating on me, she wasn't and I drove her away with my jealousy. Now fucking give your wife a hug." Sean said as he punched the wall.

"Ok." Seth said as he walked over to Serus and gave her a hug. "I'm sorry Serus, I love you." Seth said in her ear.

[Evil Tink]

Serus couldn't help but chuckled as Sean yelled at Seth, "Oh please, you have nothing to worry about with Markus. He'd rather marry a toad at this point. Believe me." She hugged him tightly, giving him a quick kiss on the lips as he came over, "And you should know that if he was making a move, he'd be dead faster than a jackrabbit running the field." She smiled slightly, keeping an arm wrapped on his waist, "You know, it reminds me of when we first met. You were just as bull-headed, but not with jealousy."

The little girl stood, walking out of the large room to meet the woman only a few feet away. The woman stood from the chair she was sitting in, reaching out her arms as the girl came close. "I swear Ariel, they can never keep things straight between us."

The girl turned so her back was facing the woman and nodded, "Nope. Either way, we should get going. I hear Serus is back in Wisconsin, with that cute boy she married."

The woman shook her head, "Ah, ah, I must rethink things. Serus has quite a bit of untapped power, not to mention Seth. He's a whirlwind of unexpected...fun. We shall observe a bit more." She lifted the little girl, carrying her like a doll as she left the building. "What would you say to..oh I don't know..a little..in-depth under cover work?"

The girl tilted her head, looking back, "I will not become friends with those monsters of children. They're loud, annoying, and they never shut up. I'd rather choke."

Azriel frowned at the girl, ruffling her hair as they teleported to Wisconsin. She set the girl down as the appeared in a dense wooded area, a few miles from Seth's house. "Cooommee ooonnn, they'd never suspect such a cute little thing like you."

The girl motioned to herself, "If you haven't noticed Azriel, I look quite a bit like you. Vampires aren't the brightest creatures but they're not dumb as a doorknob. I'm sure they'd figure it out quickly."

"Fine..then I'll just have to break their bodies without you. Goodbye." Before the young girl could protest, she disappeared as Azriel sent her away.

The woman sighed, shaking her head, "Spirits..stubborn bastards."

[Bovice]

"Hey now I still can be bullheaded." Seth said with a smile. "By the way your daughters broke my ribs again." He said still holding on to Serus.
"Ok you two get a room." Sean said motioning them away.
Seth smiled at Sean as he teleported them back to the Antinori house. "Great your here." Seth said as he sensed the demon.

"Woah slow your role vampire." Abraxas said as he sat up on the bed. "I come with news. Azriel is going to eliminate your council. She also doesn't care about you young man." He said as he looked at his nails.
"Why does she not care about me?" Seth asked slightly relived.
"She says you are annoying." He said not looking up from his hands. "Also I am not sure but there is two of them Azriel and this little girl. Now I don't know which one is the mastermind, but it would be best if you eliminate both of them." He said not moving an inch.

"After you are done with her my council wants you." Abraxas said pointing at Seth.
"What does your council want with me?" Seth asked a little nervous.
"That you will find out once Azriel is eliminated. Abraxas said with an evil smile.
"Who do you think you are anyways?" Seth said as he walked over by the bed.
"Me oh I am the one that will help you kill her. You two live on blood right?" He asked seeming intrigued.
"Ya what of it?" Seth asked getting irritated.

"Blood is disgusting," He said with a grotesque look on his face. "But I can give you some demon blood to give you the extra umph to destroy her." He said as he straightened his shirt.
Seth looked at Serus to know what to say.
