[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn shook her head, "Don't sound so grim Holden. Things will work out." She shot Alicia a look, "It's 5 o'clock somewhere as they say." She frowned a bit as Holden gave the ring to Alicia, "Holden...really don't you think that's a little extreme?" She closed her hand, intercepting the ring and making it appear in her palm. She discretely put it in her pocket, then laced her fingers behind her back.

"Well well well," a dark blue-black haired woman said as she appeared. She grinned, her red eyes looking at the people in the room as Mystic appeared behind her.

Mystic glared at her, "Don't even think about Acera...I don't want you anywhere near him." He grabbed her shoulder, pulling her back a bit as she moved to step forward.

Acera turned around with a frown, "Are you telling me what to do Mystic? I don't appreciate the tone you're taking with me. Do you want me to kill them?" She glanced to Melody, "I will you know..."

Mystic growled a bit, but let her go, "Fine, but I will take care of their half...Understand?"

Acera smiled then pouted, "Fine." She turned back around to face Holden and Alicia, "Now then...so Vanth wants your heads. I might be of assistance to you." She grinned a bit, forcing Mystic to disappear as she laced her fingers behind her back again, "Tell me what you know Alicia." Her red gaze shifted over to the dirty-blonde haired vampire.

Holden sighed, "He's been lying to me and I don't like that." He turned around to look at Acera, "Mistress Acera, it is a pleasure to finally meet you." He went to his knee. "May I offer you something to drink?" He stayed on his knee looking up at the woman.

"We don't know much ma'am. Other then the Charun's are after us." Alicia was nervous talking to the most powerful demon. "I'm sorry, I don't have much more to tell you." She looked to Jaelynn.

[Evil Tink]

Acera smiled a bit at Holden, pulling him up to his feet, "You don't have to be so formal." She looked over to Alicia again, "Do you have any idea what form the demon might be taking?"

"Solomon thinks it's one of his riders for the horse shows..Christine.." She sighed, "And knowing him he's probably getting himself into a world of trouble right now."

[Bovice]

"I'm sorry mistress." Holden bowed his head.

"What is with you Holden?" Alicia looked at him.

"I am showing respect for one of the most powerful demons." He looked back at Alicia slightly. "And he yells at me for getting in trouble." He shook his head.

[Evil Tink]

"While I do appreciate your efforts Holden, it is not necessary." She tilted her head back a bit as she looked back to Jaelynn, "Oh really? And where might they be right now?"

Jaelynn was a bit unnerved by Acera's behavior, "Ireland..I believe.." She didn't dare use telepathy, seeing as Acera had already invaded Alicia and Holden's link.

[Bovice]

"Mis.. Acera, I can go with you if you wish." Holden looked at the same height woman.

"Holden..." Alicia trailed off wanting to pull him away from Acera.

[Evil Tink]

Acrea smiled rather darkly, showing her pointed teeth as she put one arm around Holden as she turned to face the two vampires, "I'm going to borrow him, as per his request. I'll bring him back...mostly unharmed.." She looked to Holden, leaning by his ear, "Close your eyes darling~"

[Bovice]

"Yes ma'am." Holden closed his eyes tightly.

Alicia's eyes widened slightly as Acera put her arm around Holden. She wanted to protest but she knew that Acera would be able to kill her easily.

[Evil Tink]

Acera gathered up her power as Holden closed her eyes, then disappeared. She had reappeared right next to Solomon with a smile, "Oh Solo~ Look who I brought~ You're darling..ex..? fiance? I don't know..." She let Holden go, lookin to the horse in the arena and the woman riding him, "Oh is that her? She's harmless.."

Solomon jumped a bit as he felt someone appear. He was rather surprised to see Acera..yet alone Holden. "E-excuse me?" His eyes shot down to Holden's hands, his expression becoming mildly irritated. Without a word he looked back to Christine and Damien, "That would be her, or so I believe...I'm surprised I didn't have any issues with her before the show...I don't really understand why she continues this charade."

[Bovice]

Holden opened his eyes and instantly looked at the ground when he heard Solomon. "I'm just going to go talk to Kali." He pointed and skittered off.

Alicia stomped her foot, "I don't like this one bit. Holden going off and possibly getting himself hurt." She crossed her arms in a huff.

Holden smiled as he neared Kali, "Can I hide in there with you?" He scratched her head. "I really wish I knew what you were saying." He sighed. "I don't like this being human, not that you know what that feels like." He leaned his head on the stall door. "I wish thing were a lot more easier." He sighed looking at Kali who was nudging his head.

[Evil Tink]

Acera chuckled, "Well she ain't stupid..." She laced her fingers behind her back, "She's not the one who should stop pretending Solomon..." She peered over at him from the corner of her eye, "You can't really protect him Solomon...You really thought that you two could have 'a happily ever after'?" She narrowed her eyes a bit with a dark grin on her face, "Get your head out of your ass Solomon and take a look at reality. I may be head of the demons, but not even I can dispute Vanth's rule. Sure, I could kill this little Charun, but then you'll simply have another after you..."

Solomon clenched his fists a bit as Acera spoke. Her words did cut him deep, but he would not show it on his face. "Then what the hell are you doing here? If you're here to just watch us all die, then just kill me now. I will not partake in your stupid games."

Acera laughed, rolling her eyes as she looked back to the arena, "Oh Solomon, I have much greater plans for you three...and I can't kill you...Unfortunately, I need you and Holden alive..." Before Solomon could reply, she disappeared, appearing by Holden and Kali, "Ah good, you are alone~" She stood outside the stall, her red eyes glowing slightly, "Now that I have a moment to talk to you~"

[Bovice]

Holden was petting Kali's head, he snapped to attention as he heard Acera speak, "Yes ma'am?" He bowed his head slightly.

"What did she say to you Solomon?" Alicia crossed her arms.

[Evil Tink]

"Obviously something I didn't want to hear." He growled a bit and pushed her from his mind, blocking it off.

Acera frowned a bit rocking back and forth on her heels a bit, "I want you to be honest with me Holden.Pretend I'm not the most power creature you will ever meet..just an average old plain Jane." She narrowed her eyes a bit, "I know you don't like Melody being near me..you and Mystic both share that point of view. Tel me why...I want the whole truth Holden, not some pansy political answer." She brought her hands around, putting them int he pockets of her white coat.

[Bovice]

Holden was taken aback slightly by her question, "Well..." He trailed off stepping back slightly. "No offense to your character or anything but... Your power has kind of made you a bitch." He winced slightly wondering if she was going to hurt him. "And that bitchiness rubs off on Melody, which in turn makes her anger rise." He took a deep breath. "And I don't like the feelings I get off of her when she comes back sometimes." He paused for a moment. "I know I'm just a stupid human here but I still feel everyone's emotions, probably because I still have a magical presence in my soul." He sighed. "I-..I'm sorry for being so blunt." Holden looked at the woman with apologetic eyes.

[Evil Tink]

She brought her hand out to slap him, but gently patted him on the cheek instead, "Don't be. I told you to be honest with me." She put her hand back in her pocket. "Yes, you and Mystic share the exact same view...except he called it something else. What was the term he used?" She was quiet a moment while she thought, "Ah, I remember now. He called me a 'Cold, black-hearted bitch'.." She chuckled a bit, suddenly narrowing her eyes very threateningly to Holden as she used her telekinesis to rip the door from the stall and throw it down the isle. "I did not appreciate that...I don't like being called bad things." She stepped forward, getting rather close to Holden, staring him in the eyes, "While he was punished for his rude behavior..and rather severely, you're going to spared such a thing. I told you to be honest with me, and I'm proud you had the courage to do so, I don't think Melody would appreciate me breaking you to pieces." She gently placed her index finger on the base of his neck, just above his ribcage, a numbing sensation traveling rapidly through his body, "..and you've shown me the utmost respect out of everyone...and I appreciate that. I know I don't have to worry about you, but if you ever bring me insult and shame, I will punish you..regardless of what Melody says. Am I clear?" She removed her finger, smiling slightly, "Like I said, I won't have to worry about you. You're a very smart boy, you know the rules."

[Bovice]

Holden jumped when the door was ripped off of the stall. He looked at the woman, "Crystal clear. And if I ever do anything to insult you I expect you to punish me mistress." He bowed when he felt the numbing sensation go away. He glanced behind him as he heard Kali start to freak out. "Yes ma'am and thank you." He quickly whirled around and looked at Kali. "Shh Kali, its ok..." He stepped forward as she started to rear. He grabbed Kali's halter and started to pull her down. "Stop it right now! She isn't going to hurt you... I need you to trust me understand?" He stared into Kali's wide eye. He exhaled loudly when Kali settled down, "That's a good girl." Holden said soothingly as he petted Kali's neck.
