Melody stopped suddenly, narrowing her eyes, "I don't have a permit Holden...I don't even know how to start a car." She narrowed her eyes slightly, peering back at the garage. It was a nice car, but she highly doubted she'd be climbing in it anytime soon, "Not to mention that car is a screaming metal death trap."

[Bovice]

"I see." Holden pulled out a thin scrunchie. He pulled his hair into a ponytail. "Trust me I know what I'm doing." He smiled teleporting them into the front seat. "And don't worry, I have a spell around the car... Now." He started the car. "Ready?" Holden smiled somewhat evilly.

[Evil Tink]

Melody sighed, walking over, "One scratch..I will never talk to you again.." She climbed in, buckling her seat belt and making sure it was secure. She glared over for a second before looking out the opposite way so she wouldn't have to see Holden in her peripheral vision.

[Bovice]

"Don't worry." Holden smiled as he put the car into reverse and sped backwards down the driveway. He put the top down, "Hold on." He chuckled evilly. Suddenly he shifted into first gear and sped away, within moments he was going sixty miles an hour.

[Evil Tink]

Melody was not surprised when Holden went speeding off...Solomon had a habit of doing that when Mystic threw her off onto him. The only thing that irritated her was the fact that her hair refused to stay out of her face. Rather than fight with it, she just let it flop where it pleased. "Where are we going anyway?" she asked, raising her voice only enough so he could hear her.

[Bovice]

"You'll find out soon." Holden closed the top as he pulled up to the stop sign to get onto the highway. He sped off onto the highway.

About an hour later Holden pulled into a parking lot. "Remember this place?" He looked at Melody with a small smile.

[Evil Tink]

Melody sighed as they drove alon the highway. She had no idea where they were going nor did she really care. She looked at the shop, looking back to Holden, "Why would you bring me here? I have no need or reason to be here.." She looked away, resting her head on her hand; her elbow resting on the door.

[Bovice]

"Your right, sorry." Holden said with a small smile. He slightly looked over her clothes, "Want to go shopping?" He pulled out his wallet. "You can buy whatever you want." He waved the wallet in the air with a singsong tone.

[Evil Tink]

Melody looked over, raising her left eye brow, "Pray tell, what you think would fit me in there." She sighed, looking back to the shop. She did miss wearing those dresses..they were all so pretty. She bit her lip a bit, glancing back to Holden, with a slight smile, "It's a shame they wouldn't...they were all so cute. I...still have the ones we bought a few months ago...and the doll..." She looked away out the window again, using her black hair to hide her face.

[Bovice]

Holden put the car in park and moved in the seat, "I didn't mean in there, I meant at the mall in Appleton." He said with a smile. His smile turned into a frown, "Melody..." He trailed off and grabbed her hand. "Listen, I'm sorry I abandoned you like that. I was wrong, I should of never gotten sucked into the wonder of magic. And then into the hate of dark." Holden paused trying to think of more ways to apologize.

[Evil Tink]

She pulled her hand away, looking back to him with a slight glare, "No, you shouldn't have." She leaned back in the chair, closing her eyes with a sigh, "You don't know what it was like Holden. You were the first person to ever care what happened to me...I liked the fact that I could trust you and call you my first and closest friend. Then, out of no where, I could no longer see you, I couldn't even get Mystic to contact you because you locked everyone out. When Mystic dropped me off at Solomon's; for the same reason I'm here, I couldn't even get him to contact you. I was worried about you, but I couldn't do anything for you." She opened her eyes, shifting them to look at him, "And I knew it was my fault...I should've just stayed put in the Ethereal Realm and left Alicia alone...none of this would've happened and I'm pretty sure you and Solomon would be on better terms." She closed her eyes again, turning her head away.

[Bovice]

"That isn't known Melody." Holden said with a small sigh. "If there was a way for me to go back in time and change the fact that I had my powers activated. I would." He frowned. "I would rather be a vampire anyway." He leaned his head back. "I don't like the fact that I can feel..." Holden trailed off.

[Evil Tink]

"You should've thought that through Holden.." She sighed a bit, "I just want to go back to Mystic's..." She opened her eyes, looking out her window, "I know you can at least get me close to his place...I can walk the rest of the way.."

[Bovice]

Holden nodded and put a cloaking spell around the car. He muttered something else and he found himself, Melody and the car about a mile away from Mystic's house. He frowned slightly, "We're about a mile away, want me to drive you closer?" He turned so he was sitting the right way in the chair. Suddenly his fingers broke. He winced, "Damn it Alicia." He pulled his fingers to set them. After a moment he moved his fingers.

[Evil Tink]

She shook her head, quickly undoing her seat-belt and climbing out of the car, "I will walk." She shut the door and stepped away from the car. She waited a moment with a frown. Mystic probably wouldn't let her in, but oh well. With a sigh, she ran off, her speed just a tad faster than most humans.

After about a half mile she stopped, whirling around as she heard something. She quickly drew the knife from the sheath hidden under her skirt, looking around carefully. Suddenly, a stray cat jumped from the tall grass, pausing in the rode as it saw Melody. She watched it for a moment, before walking on towards Mystic's.

[Bovice]

Holden waved a little when Melody left, he sat in the car for about an hour before he sighed and teleported the car back to his house. When he drove the car into the garage he got out and walked in the house. He felt that Alicia wasn't even there, he sat on the couch and closed his eyes. "Alicia? Can you come back soon? I need to talk to you." He laid down on the couch keeping his eyes closed.

Ten minutes later Alicia appeared, "Yes Holden?" She poked him in the shoulder.

He sat up and looked at Alicia, "What would you say to me having my powers taken away?" He flinched waiting for her response.

"I would say one of two things; one: good, I don't like the creepiness I get from you. Second: Are you fucking kidding me?! You will most likely die having that part of your soul ripped out." She wound up her hand but stopped.

"I can't stand this Alicia, the glare from the vampires. From anyone, even humans know something is right with me." He pulled his ponytail to tighten it.

"Well ya, your a 'twenty-seven' year old man who has white hair. Of course they are gonna stare." She put her hand on her hips. "Have you talked to Camelia about this?" She sat down next to Holden, growling slightly.

"I have a meeting with the council very shortly." He sighed. "Don't tell Solomon, he will be furious." He frowned. "Maybe if I live, maybe he will forgive me." Holden leaned back on the couch.

"Be careful Holden." She sighed when he mentioned Solomon. "I wont say anything to him." Alicia leaned back and closed her eyes.
