Solomon pulled his face away, "She is a vampire now Holden...having a vampire access the Paladin magic is a very bad idea. You thought you had problems before?" He sighed, rubbing his temples, "We should talk to Jaelynn first, she can manipulate Ethereal energy."

Melody sat forward, slipping off the couch and shuffling over to Alicia. She tugged lightly on Alicia's dress, lipping Mystic's name a few times.

Jaelynn sat up, "I heard my name...I suppose I should check it out..." She stood up and disappeared, reappearing by Solomon and Holden, "Okay...what are you two planning now?"

[Bovice]

"But she is still a witch." Holden threw his hands down. He growled, "I know Jaelynn can Solomon, but I don't want her to get hurt." He pointed at Jaelynn. "What is the point?" He turned and looked at Jaelynn. "Remember when you said you had faith in me? When I came back from Spain." He spun around and looked at Solomon. "Where is that faith now Solomon?" He let his head fall. "I consider you, Seth and Serus my friends Jaelynn. But I can't keep letting all of you risk your lives for me." He balled up his fists. "And no offense to you Jaelynn, but I feel that if you go into the ethereal realm again, so soon you will die." He finally looked up. "Please Solomon let me do this." Holden pleaded.

"Bye bye." Seth waved.

Alicia opened her eyes, "I think Mystic is still resting sweety." She smiled.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon grabbed Holden's arm rather roughly, "I'd rather risk Jaelynn's life over your Holden. I have every bit of faith in you and your abilities, but I can't risk loosing you again!" An over powering feeling of anguish, despair, and pain suddenly overcame Holden, "Do you feel that Holden? That isn't even the tip of the iceberg of what I felt when I lost you...yet alone because I had to kill you! If I let you do this and I lost you because of it...I don't want to go through that again." He let Holden go, the emotions quickly dissipating.

Jaelynn placed her hands on her hips, "I'm both flattered and insulted at the same time..." She shook her head, "Holden, I'm sure I can handle it. I mean, if Mystic can do it, it can't be that hard."

Melody frowned, falling to her knees, 'Holden?'

[Bovice]

Holden frowned, "Solomon..." He trailed off not knowing what to say. He quickly looked at Jaelynn, "Melody isn't your responsibility, she's mine. And I have every confidence in you and your powers Jae..." He stopped mid sentence and looked back at Solomon. "Solomon, every ounce of my being trusts you and you abilities." He paused. "I know I can do this." He sighed. "Where is it Solomon? Where?" He paused again. "You really don't trust me. Just because I may be the woman," He looked at Jaelynn. "No offense," He looked back at Solomon. "Of this relationship doesn't mean you can treat me so." He growled.

He sighed, "Please trust me, I know I can do this. And will come out fairly unscathed." Holden ran his hand through his hair nervously, not know how to convince Solomon anymore.

Alicia picked Melody up and set her on her legs, "Him and Solomon are talking." "More like yelling." She frowned.

"Honestly?" Seth sighed, weakly stood up, and teleported.

[Evil Tink]

Melody looked to the floor, her eyes drooping heavily. Wasn't Alicia supposed to go get Holden when she woke up? She would assume so. After a moment, she stood, shuffling her way to the door, dropping Alicia's sweater to the floor.

Jaelynn shook her head, "None taken..." She looked to Solomon, "I have an idea. Holden and I, can do it together? That way, the power load is split...we'd both be fine."

Solomon sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose, "I don't want Holden using the damn Paladin's magic to begin with Jaelynn! He may be human in body, but his vampiric aura still remains on his spirit and I'm sure there are other tricks in that body of his! I will not let him risk hurting himself just to save that stupid girl from France! She doesn't even belong on this Plain to begin with! She was never supposed to be here. And now becauseof her, Azriel and Mystic are dead!" He narrowed his eyes at Holden now, "I am not treating you like a woman, Holden. I am treating you this way because, even with all that knowledge in your brain, you still fail to understand just how severely your actions can hurt you." He clenched his fists for a moment with a growl. After some silent seething, he threw his hands up, "Fine, I obviously can't make you understand Holden..do whatever you want..." He turned on his heel and walked off. After a few steps, he disappeared.

Melody came down the hallway, hearing Solomon and Holden yelling at each other. She hovered outside the door, her legs collapsing beneath her as she heard Solomon. She knew he hated her! She fell to the side, her eyes becoming dull as she lay there. She couldn't believe it...all she wanted to do was to make things right but in the end, she only made things worse. And then he said it. ...Azriel and Mystic are dead!. H-how could this be? Holden..lied to her? Mystic was..gone...so that meant...she'd be gone soon too. She began to cry silently as she realized this was all her fault.

[Bovice]

"Fucking christ!" Holden almost punched the wall. He looked to Jaelynn, "Why I had to fall in love with a man who is as stubborn as I am I will never know." He took a deep breath to calm down. "Jaelynn, I..." He started to say but was cut off by Seth appearing.

Seth appeared holding Camelia and Felix by the collars, "Now Camelia help Holden. He has to find out what powers of the Paladin he got." He was breathing heavily.

"Fine Seth." Camelia grabbed something out of her pocket. She walked over to Holden, "I'm going to need you to wear this. If you did get the Paladin's powers this will help you control it and you can do magic without a spell or circle." She paused. "Well for most things." She put the necklace around Holden's neck. "Now Felix darling, I need you to go and get blood, a lot of it." She led Holden to the bed. She gently, but forcibly set him down.

Felix nodded but looked to Seth first, "Are you ok Seth?" He put his arm around Seth's waist and moved him to a chair.

"I'm fine, now go." Seth waved Felix away when he was sitting.

Felix disappeared.

"Jaelynn you are welcome to stay if you want." Camelia smiled at Jaelynn but quickly looked back at Holden. "Now this will be painful.. Or at least I'm assuming. If you do have the powers, when I unlock them you will get a huge amount of knowledge. Spells, incantations, arrays, etc." She closed her eyes. "Now I want you to open you mind to me. While I'm in there I will push your links with everyone out. So that may hurt you as well." She took a deep breath, not that she needed it. "Now." Camelia said as she started to say an incantation.

Holden just sat there while Camelia talked, he nodded and closed his eyes. He opened his mind to Camelia. He felt her enter his brain and push his links out. Holden winced hard when they were pushed out.

[Evil Tink]

[Accidental double post]

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn glared at Seth, "Dammit Seth..can't you take a hint?" She grabbed him roughly by the arm pulling him from the chair and disappearing with him. The two reappeared in the study where many bottles of blood were still in the bags. She made a few bottles float over to him, "After you drink these, I will take you to get a proper meal."

Melody curled up on the floor hearing more voices in the room that was just behind the door. Holden wasn't coming...he was too busy...and Mystic wouldn't be coming either..that's for sure. Suddenly, she opened her eyes, hearing soft footsteps just down the hall. She struggled to focus her eyes for a moment before passing out. She knew she didn't have enough time to wait for Holden to get Mystic. Solomon would get his way.

Solomon flinched a bit as he felt Holden's link severed. He couldn't believe he was going to go through with it. His eyes flashed red for a moment as he dug around his property, trying to find something salvageable.

With a quiet sigh, the man crouched down as Melody went limp again, "My dear, it's not quite your time." He smiled a bit, touching his long black nail to her forehead. After a moment, he removed his nail, moving his hat up away from his face. "Melody...wake up."

Melody's eyes fluttered open as she felt a surge of energy. Her arm spasmed a bit, hitting into the wall. She sat up, rubbing her eye with her cracked fist, jumped and pushing herself back into the wall as she saw the figure before her.

Mystic grinned widely, moving some of the blood stained hair from Melody's face, "My dear, you should trust my abilities more. You can't get rid of my that easily. You're lucky though, if I hadn't restored your energy just before the fight, you wouldn't be here..." He stood, taking her in his arms and carrying her like one would a small child. "I think we need to step in that room...don't you?"

Melody held onto him the best she could with her one arm. She nodded furiously, the gears in her other shoulder grinding a bit as she 'moved her arm to point at the door', even if the arm wasn't there. She was just too thrilled right now.

Mystic smiled a bit, turning the knob of the door with his free hand and swinging it open. He blinked, rather surprised at the events occurring, "Well...I can see you're all busy." He rolled his eyes, then shut the door, "I give it 5 seconds tops..you on for that?" He held his free hand to her for her to shake.

Melody nodded furiously, taking his hand in hers lipping, 'You are so on'. She shook it once, then nestled herself comfortably in his arms, waiting and counting.

[Bovice]

Suddenly a pained expression came over Holden's face as he sensed a presence enter the room. He cracked open his eyes and saw Mystic, he lifted his hand to give a wave but suddenly got ravaged by pain.

Camelia kept her concentration as the presence enter the room. She could tell Holden's was slipping. Suddenly her pendant fell out from her shirt, the light blue gem was glowing brightly. She held out her hand and a ghostly figure appeared.

The ghostly figure floated over to Holden, "Don't worry about them Holden. If you concentration slips even more we will both die. The figure gently floated over to the door but quickly disappeared, making the door fly open.

Holden closed his eye and started concentrating again. His pendant floated up from his neck and the white stone started to glow brightly.

The two pendants suddenly connected, sending a powerful blast of power in between Camelia and Holden.

As Camelia continued to say her incantation she started to levitate off of the floor.

Holden started saying something incoherent and was being pulled up with Camelia.

Camelia felt a surge of power as she finished her incantation. She opened her eyes as she started to see a dark figure float from Holden. She gasped as she was thrown backwards. She slammed into the wall and slid to the floor.

Holden was forced down onto the bed, he flew forward and slammed into the floor.

"H-..Holden you must act. This is dark dark magic." Camelia yelled as she put a barrier around the open door.

Holden suddenly floated up, he looked to the open door with pale blue eyes. He then turned around and started to mutter and incantation in a low tone. He hovered his hands around the pendant, which was still glowing brightly.

The dark figure laughed evilly, "You have no chance against me boy." The dark figure started to transform. Suddenly the figure was in the form of Holden's mother. "You disgust me you fag!" The figures said pointing to Holden. "You are a disappointment to me." The figure laughed evilly again.

Holden's head fell forward as he intensified his incantation. He was speaking faster than humanly possible. Suddenly a light figure appeared next to Holden.

"Don't listen to it Holden!" Camelia yelled feeling darkness engulf her.

The light figure transformed into Holden's old self. "I am not a disappointment mother! You are!" The light figure suddenly shot at the dark figure like a lightning bolt.

Holden looked up with black and white swirling eyes, he pulled his hands away from the pendant as he finished the incantation. "Veniat. (Go to hell.)" He brought his hands back to the pendant.

Suddenly the two figures started swirling together like a tornado. They shot at Holden's pendant.

Holden flew backwards and crashed into a dresser when the two forces entered the pendant. He laid there lifeless.

Camelia chuckled, "You did it Holden. You did... Holden?" She looked to Holden's lifeless body. She quickly scrambled to Holden, she gently turned him over, "Damn it!" She brought down the barrier that was surrounding the open door. She put her hand over her pendant and pulled out a white orb. She stated to mutter as she held the orb over Holden's pendant. Suddenly the white orb flew into Holden's pendant.

Holden suddenly sat up gasping for air, he started grabbing for Camelia.

Camelia grabbed Holden, "Shh it's alright... Shh...." She gently rubbed her hand through Holden's hair.

"Yes Jae.." Seth said grabbing the bottles and popping the tops off of them.

"What is going on over there?" Alicia sat up as Seth and Jaelynn appeared.

{Bam 53.72 Au : D}

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn rolled her eyes at Alicia, "Not a fucking clue..if they break anything I will be taking it out on their bodies." She snatched a bottle, drinking it down quickly, "Where's Melody? Wasn't she sleeping?"

It was definitely longer than 5 seconds by the time the room quieted. Melody grinned, looking at Mystic, 'I win.'

Mystic winced, "It's a good thing you don't have anything to lay down on these bets..I'd have nothing left..I always seem to loose." He scanned the room for a moment, before peering in the room once more, "Well then..certainly interesting~"

[Bovice]

After a few moments Holden composed himself, he looked at Mystic. He stood up and ran over to him. "Mystic, I'm so glad your ok." He got ready to give Mystic a hug.

"Holden no." Camelia said running up to Holden and pulling him away from Mystic. "You can't touch any dark creature." She turned Holden to look at her and quickly removed her hands. "You need to listen to me. There was a few things that I was able to keep sealed away, and a few things that I was able to get rid of." She paused for a moment. "For the next few hours, if you touch a dark creature you will be seriously hurt. Also you will have a slight taste of hatred towards them, if they appear close to you." She looked up to Mystic. "Now, do you feel that?" Camelia looked back to Holden.

Holden nodded.

"Ok good." Camelia sighed. She closed her eyes trying to think. "I want you to do everything I tell you." She stretched her back. "You still need to eat food. But most of your power will come from the sun, because it is light." She pinched her nose. "I am really messing this up." She put her index finger on Holden's forehead. "This is all the information you need." Camelia gave Holden a lot of information. "Does that make more sense?"

"I see, well that is nice to know." Holden nodded thinking for a moment. "Bye." He muttered something quickly and disappeared.

"Holden!" Camelia reached out but was to late. "Damn child, he doesn't have enough power to get back." She crossed her arms and put her hand in Holden's portal. She disappeared.

Holden appeared close to Solomon, "Solomon, I'm..." He fell to his knees and them to his hands.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon whirled around, pointing his finger angrily at Holden, "No! You're not! This is just like when you demanded I turn you or erase your memory! You never listen to me! You always seem to get your way regardless of what I say or do!" He clenched his fists, shoving his hands into his pockets, "When you decide you'll listen to me, I'll be in London..." He shook his head slightly, then disappeared.

Mystic shook his head slightly, "You should've just left him be Camelia...he's now on the radar of every vampire, demon, and any other creature of the night. Way to go." He wasn't angry, personally, he could care less. He just wished that the trio would stop getting themselves into trouble so that they would actually enjoy their second chance at life. "If anyone needs me, I'll be repairing Melody." With that, he disappeared.

[Bovice]

"I..." Holden trailed off as Solomon disappeared. He snarled slightly when Camelia appeared.

Camelia appeared, "Holden, you are supposed to listen to me." She crossed her arms. "Now stand up, I can't touch you." She sighed. "I'm going to take you back to Seth and Serus' house. I suggest you move out and find a place of your own." She looked up at the sky.

"I drove Solomon away again." Holden stood up. "Let's go I guess." He looked to Camelia.

"Ya, now this will hurt." She grabbed Holden's arm, and disappeared. She landed in Holden's room.

Holden pulled his arm away when they landed, he had second degree burns. "Great." He looked at the burn.

"Don't worry it will heal when you get more power. Now get packing." She disappeared. She landed next to Alicia, "Go help Holden, you two are moving out of Seth's house." Camelia crossed her arms.

Alicia crossed her arms, "She went to find Holden. She sighed and looked at Camelia, she disappeared. "What's going on Holden?"

[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn shook her head slightly as she heard Holden packing, "It's about time they left..." She contacted a maid to tell her to clean up the mess, then headed downstairs to the arenas to waste time.

Hayden appeared in the study, quickly finding out she was alone. She searched around the house on foot, searching for Solomon. She frowned, he wasn't here. She hurried to the kitchen to find Anne, Maybe she knows. When she got there, Anne wasn't there and her associates said she had been missing the whole day. Hayden frowned, sitting on the floor with her arms crossed. Where is everyone?

[Bovice]

Camelia shrugged, "I think I'm going to go home. I'll see you later Seth." She waved. "Oh by the way Mystic is alive." She disappeared.

"Bye. Wait what?" Seth asked as Camelia disappeared. He growled as he sat in a chair.

"Holden, tell me what is going on." Alicia stomped her foot.

"Nothing Alicia, we are moving." Holden set his bags on the bed. "Now go and get your stuff." He grabbed the contract that Seth signed. He quickly signed it. "After your done we are going to the bank." He put the contract in his jacket pocket.

Alicia threw her hands up, "Fine Holden, be that way." She stormed out of the room to grab her bags.

When Alicia was gone Holden sat in a free spot on the bed with a sigh. "I'll talk to you soon Solomon." He quickly stood up and looked around.

"Holden you can take my car until you get one for yourself." Seth ran his hands through his hair.

"Thanks." Holden went to say goodbye to Anne, if she was still there. He walked into the kitchen and saw Hayden on the floor, "Hayden what's wrong?" He stepped forward but quickly retracted it.

[Evil Tink]

She looked up at Holden, letting out a slight instinctive hiss. Her eyes went wide and she quickly covered her mouth, "A-ah..I-I'm so sorry Holden! I..you're just.." She looked down to the floor her hands going back to her lap, "I can't find Solo..he's not here and he's blocking me..." She sighed a bit, standing up and brushing the dust from her butt, "Why did you do it Holden?"
