Seth growled, and teleported behind the man. He grabbed him by the neck and put his free hand on Melody. He teleported Melody to Holden and Solomon's room. He then grabbed one of the man's arms and twisted it up popping it out of the socket and almost ripping it off. He started manipulating the man's blood away from the heart, making it very weak. He then jammed his hand threw the man's back and pulling out the weakened muscle. Killing the man instantly.

He sighed as he let go of the lifeless body, "It isn't very fun killing other vampires anymore." He said looking to Solomon. Seth grabbed the man and threw him in the back seat, as well as his heart. He pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his arm off, he threw the hankie in the car and shut the door. Seth put his hand on the car and teleported it to his house. "So what did you wanna talk to me and Serus about?" Seth asked with a slight smile.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon sighed, "Holden has Clairvoyance...I don't know where the hell he got it from..no one in my family had this ability. Do you know of anyone who could help him? Or even disable that? It's really starting to affect his mental health."

Before Melody could react to anything, she found herself in a hotel room. Her eyes widened and she began to tremble, thinking that she was going to get raped again. Her eyes darted about until they came upon Holden. "H-Holden!" She skittered over, climbing up on the bed and crawling over to him. She sat on her knees and gently poked him on the chest, "Holden? Quel est le problème?(What's wrong?)" He didn't respond. She furrowed her brow, becoming worried, "H-Holden?" She poked him again.

[Bovice]

"Ah I know someone who can help him." Seth said holding out his hand. Suddenly a man appeared next to him.

"What the hell?" The man asked looking to Seth. "Oh Seth what do you need? I was on my way to pick up Camelia, it is our two month anniversary." The man said with a smile.

"Well it wont be long old man. Solomon this is Felix, Felix this is Solomon. Could you possibly help Solomon's boyfriend, he has Clairvoyance." Seth asked.

"Sure, I can. I will talk to Camelia and tell her I will be a little late. I just hope she doesn't hurt me. Damn witches can be difficult to date." He said holding out his hand to Solomon. But he quickly retracted it because it snapped in half. "Ow.. Well ya, umm I can stop back later if that is ok?" He asked waiting for a second, and then disappeared.

"Bye. Well there you go." Seth said with a smile. "I should head back myself, if you need anything just give me a buzz." Seth said patting Solomon's shoulder and disappearing.

Holden was still unconscious, but he felt something tap his chest. His body twitched as it healed his brain.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shook his head a bit as the two disappeared. He definitely regretted this. He teleported back to the room, a bit furious that the girl was already attaching herself emotionally to Holden. This was all her fault, after all. If she would've just stayed wherever Holden sent her, Holden could be conscious from Solomon helping him heal. As the girl looked over, about to ask for help, he silenced her, then pointed to the corner, "Il. Maintenant.(There. Now.)"

Melody jumped a bit as Holden twitched. She smiled a bit,thinking he was going to wake up, but seeing as he didn't a frown quickly grew on her face. She jumped again as she looked over to see the taller man. He looked a lot scarier than Big Boss. She let out a soft squeak as he spoke. His tone was very harsh. She nodded and hurried to the spot indicated, keeping her back to them.

[Bovice]

Holden moaned in pain as he opened his eyes, "You didn't have to be so harsh." He said looking to Solomon. "I'm sorry I cause you so much grief." He said as he slowly unzipped his suitcase and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and moved them over to Solomon. He did that all with TK, "Go have one, I will be fine." He said wincing as his head throbbed. "I guess doing all that with my brain being almost mush, wasn't a good idea." Holden thought to himself.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon snatched the pack, "She shouldn't even be here. She's involved with a circle of black market vampires. No matter what she does, she will always be hunted by them. You're better off sending her right back." He stormed out of the room and down the stairs and through the main lobby. He found a spot a decent distance away from the door and lit a cigarette with his power. He took a long drag, exhaling it with a sigh as he ran his hands through his hair.

Melody kept her face to the wall, playing with a few of the strings of the dress as she heard the tall man leave. She could tell by his tone of voice he hated her and wanted her gone. Once he was well out of ear shot, or so she hoped; she was never sure with vampires, she dared a glance to Holden before quickly looking back at the wall. She kept quiet, wrapping the string around her finger before gently unwrapping it and doing it all again.

[Bovice]

Holden weakly sat up and looked at Melody. He got dizzy but he brushed it off, "Melody, pourquoi êtes-vous venu ici? Je vous ai dit de rester à la maison de mes amis. (Melody, why did you come here? I told you to stay at my friends house.)" He asked a little concerned. "Ne vous inquiétez pas, il n'est pas en colère contre vous, il est juste frustré. (Don't worry he's not mad at you he is just frustrated.)" Holden said with a weak smile.

[Evil Tink]

Melody jumped a bit as Holden addressed her. She kept her head down and never moved away from the wall, "Il me d-déteste ... Je le sa-sais...e-et...et...je ne po-pouvais pas rester là...elle est trop belle...Je ne pouvais pas laisser Big Boss me trouver là...el-elle mo-mourrait...(He hates me...I know it...and...I couldn't stay there...she's too nice...I couldn't let Big Boss find me there...she'd die....)" She never dared to move away from the wall, after all, the tall scary man told her to stay there. She'd obey..perhaps he wouldn't be so mad if she listened.

[Bovice]

Holden sighed quietly, "Il ne te déteste pas. Souhaitez-vous être à l'aise d'y retourner? Me Salomon et vont être de retourner en Angleterre demain. (He doesn't hate you. Would you be comfortable going back there? Me and Solomon are going to be going back to England tomorrow.)" He asked as he swooped his legs over to the floor. He stood up and almost lost his balance, but he quickly regained it. He walked over to Melody and picked her up and set her in a chair. "Asseyez-vous ici, il ne sera pas folle, croyez-moi. J'ai besoin d'aller se rhabiller. (Sit right here, he wont be mad, trust me. I need to go and get dressed.)" Holden said as he grabbed some clothing and went to the bathroom.

[Evil Tink]

She was about to argue when he picked her up and set her in the chair. She waited until he shut the door then hurried back into the corner, just like before. She would definitely not be happy nor comfortable going back to that place. She wanted to get away and she wanted them to leave her alone, but she knew that couldn't happen. She was destined for a life of pain, rape and sadness. She was just another one of those people who was stuck in a bad place and could never leave...and that made her cry.

Solomon sighed as he walked back into the room, "I'm surprised she didn't move..." His eye twitched as she began to silently cry, but he forced himself not to care. Just another statistic Solomon..millions of people are in the same situation and many of them aren't so lucky. He went out onto the balcony completely ignoring the girl. She has to go... He shut his eyes tightly.

"Solomon James! You heartless bastard!" came Hayden's voice. "Is that what you told yourself when you gave me to the Council? Huh? She has a chance now Solo, you can't just throw her back in...she could end up living happily..."

"Dammit Hayden this is none of your concern. She is property of the French Covens...she's not my problem." Suddenly he fell to his knees as Hayden popped a few blood vessels in his brain. He blocked her out before she could do much else and healed fairly quickly. "Just leave me be Hayden.." He glanced back at her with a frown, She's right though Solomon...

[Bovice]

"Alicia what am I gonna do?" Holden asked as he leaned against the counter.

"Well Holden, do what you think is right. It's basically that easy." Alicia said.

"No it's not Alicia, I can't handle three kids. Plus she only knows French." He said brushing his hair.

"So? Roslin only knew French when you first met her. Look at her now, she speaks really good English. You have me to help you Holden." She said.

"That doesn't matter. You are already helping me to much." He said with a sigh.

"Holden, I don't mind. You would be dead without me." She said. "Now talk to Solomon about this." Alicia said as she opened the door and pushed Holden out to the balcony with TK.

"Damn it Alicia." Holden said as he was standing in front of Solomon. He sighed looking at Solomon, "I guess we need to talk about Melody." He said running his hand through his hair. "I know where you stand, and I agree with you Solomon. Plus I wouldn't be able to handle three kids. But I can't just abandon her." Holden said glancing to Melody.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon sighed a bit, turning to look at Holden. He leaned up against the railing, pinching the bridge of his nose, "I know Holden...Like I said, there's no where we can direct her to that she'll be safe. The French Covens will be after her until they get her back; they're very possessive. The only way to help her is to return her to them. If they believe she came of her own will, they might not kill her."

[Bovice]

"Ya, why do I always do this Solomon?" Holden asked with a sigh. "I always try to help people, and I never help myself." He said looking at Solomon.

"Holden Evans, je te veux à mon conseil maintenant. Apportez Melody. (Holden Evans, I want you at my council now. Bring Melody.)" A voice boomed in Holden's head.

Holden jumped when he heard the voice in his head, "Well, I have to go." He said a little unnerved. "Master Jean-Pierre wants to see me." He said looking at Melody. "I will be back soon Solomon, don't worry." He said kissing Solomon on the lips. He walked into the room and picked up Melody. "Tout ira bien, croyez-moi Melody. (Everything will be fine, trust me Melody.)" Holden said as he disappeared.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon sighed, "Just be careful Holden...call me if you need to." He turned back to the city, watching the people go about their morning routines.

Melody jumped a bit as Holden came by and before she could speak he grabbed onto her. Every bit of her wanted to flail and try to get away, but she knew Holden meant her no harm. Right? She was beginning to doubt herself as they disappeared. She quickly closed her eyes and plugged her ears, as her master often told her to do. Humans were often disorientated through teleporting and doing this made it less likely for them to throw up.

[Bovice]

Holden and Melody appeared in front of two big wooden doors.

"Master Jean-Pierre is waiting for you Holden Evans." A tall man said as he opened the doors.

Holden walked in to the middle of the council room, he put Melody down. Bonjour Maître Jean-Pierre, qu'est-ce que vous vouliez me voir sur monsieur? (Hello Master Jean-Pierre, what is it you wanted to see me about sir?)" He asked with a bow.

"Eh bien je vous remercie d'être venus aussi vite que vous le pouvez. Maintenant, j'entends dire que vous avez tué quelques-uns de mes vampires. (Well thank you for coming as fast as you could. Now, I hear that you have killed a few of my vampires.)" Jean-Pierre said crossing his arms.

"Um .. Oui maître que j'ai fait. Je ne pouvais pas supporter de voir Melody abusé. (Um.. Yes master I did. I couldn't stand to see Melody abused.)" Holden said standing up.

"Eh bien ce n'est pas votre jeune appel. C'est mon pays, pas le vôtre. (Well that isn't your call fledgling. This is my country, not yours.)" The man said as he stood up with red eyes.

"Maître, je suis ... (Master, I'm...)" Holden started to say but was cut off.

"Tais-toi jeune. Vous avez trois choix. Un: Tuez la jeune fille, deux: vous tuer, ou trois: prendre une punition. Et si vous vivez à travers la punition que vous arrivez à garder la jeune fille. Elle ne nous appartiennent plus, le Conseil français. (Shut up fledgling. You have three choices. One: Kill the girl, two: kill yourself, or three: take a punishment. And if you live through the punishment you get to keep the girl. She will no longer belong to us, the French Council.)" The man said with a evil smile.

"I.. Prendra la peine .. Maître Jean-Pierre. (I.. Will take the punishment.. Master Jean-Pierre.)" Holden said defeated.

Jean-Pierre and the whole council burst out in a tremendous maniacal laugh. "Luke, réglez le garçon pour sa peine. (Luke, set the boy up for his punishment.)" He said pointing to Holden.

[Evil Tink]

Melody went wide eyed as they appeared in the room. She pushed herself close to Holden, keeping her gaze to the floor as she listened. As she heard Holden's choices, she stepped forward, looking up at Jean-Pierre, barely managing to stammer out, "Attendez! Vous ne pouvez pas faire ça! Ce n'est pas sa faute, c'est la mienne. Si I...avait écouté Maître, il n'aurait pas eu fou et puis Holden ne nous avez laissé seul.(Wait! You can't do that! It's not his fault, it's mine. If I...had listened to Master, he wouldn't have gotten mad and then Holden would've left us alone.)" She quickly cringed, looking away, "Il ne mérite pas la peine...Je ne...J'avais été assez fou pour désobéir Maîtrise.(He doesn't deserve punishment...I do...I had been...foolish enough to disobey Master.)"
