"I don't want him to be a vampire period, it didn't help him any the last time and I doubt it'll help him this time around." He pinched the bridge of his nose, pacing slightly. "I just don't understand why we can't just be left alone. There's always something happening and tomorrow is that damn meeting crap with the French."

[Bovice]

"I know you don't Solomon, but I think the last time he wasn't trained to use his powers. Other then telepathy, shape shifting, and teleportation." Alicia sighed. "I don't know Solomon, I wish I did." She pinched her nose.

Holden sat at the counter eating his little breakfast, he looked at the stairs and sighed. "I wish I was turned." He ran his hand through his hair. "If I was then Solomon wouldn't lie to me." He turned around and slowly lowered himself to the floor. He brought his knees to his chest, "I wish there was someone I could talk to about this." He leaned his chin on his knees.

[Evil Tink]

Mystic appeared, crouched under the table, peering around, "Sorry Holden..I had ot make sure she didn't beat me here." He teleported out, brushing off as he stood up, "I thought I would warn you...Five days in Acera's company did not make Melody any..gentler...she should be coming back any minute now.."

Solomon narrowed his eyes slightly at Alicia, "I told him I would turn him..and I will...but not for awhile yet. I want things to calm down so I actually have time to teach him." He shook his head slightly and headed for the door, "And now Mystic is here...marvelous..that means she isn't too far behind."

[Bovice]

"Fan-fucking-tastic Mystic. You shouldn't of sent her to Acera's!" Holden stood and put his hands on his hips. "She would of been safe at your house! And now I have to contend with the fact that Solomon is lying to me, Melody is gonna be on another fucking rage trip, and that I keep feeling a fucking coldness!" He was yelling by now. "And on top of all that, I have to deal with the motherfucking French tomorrow. Who probably aren't going to just let Melody fight for herself. They are gonna find a way to toss me into the mix!" He grabbed his hair and pulled on it. "I honestly sometimes wish I would of stayed dead." He threw his hands down in a act of defeat.

"I know Solomon..." Alicia trailed off as she heard Holden yelling. She opened her mouth to say something but quickly closed it.

[Evil Tink]

Mystic cringed, "I didn't have a choice Holden. I would much rather have just kept her locked downstairs at my house, but unfortunately I couldn't." He ran his hand through his shoulder length hair, "I'll be monitoring everything through her, if they touch you I'll be there to stop it. Wait what..coldness?" He looked to Solomon as he came in, "What haven't you told me Solomon?"

Solomon sighed as he entered the kitchen, "As if I didn't have enough to worry about...and I have no idea what you're talking about demon." He grabbed the cup of coffee heating it up a bit with a bit of power before taking a drink.

[Bovice]

Holden glared at Solomon, "Whatever Mystic... Just go get out of my house." He pointed to the door. He shook his head, "I can never have a moment's fucking peace. I'm a damn human here with a bad heart and everyone keeps piling it on there." He muttered as he walked out of the kitchen. "And I still have a shitload of stuff to do yet. But no, I can't do jack shit." He growled. He clenched his fists and punched the wall, breaking a few bones in his hand. He shook his hand and walked to the door. He opened it and narrowed his eyes, "What the fuck are you doing here?" He clenched his fists again.

"I...I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Asher looked at the ground.

"Sorry!? That's all you can fucking say!? You get me fired because I'm gay and you have the gall waltz onto my property?" Holden stepped closer to Asher.

"Holden I'm sorry... Please forgive me? I was just angry that you moved on." Asher looked up to Holden.

"Forgive you? I could never forgive your sorry fucking ass." Holden clenched his fists harder.

Asher walked closer to Holden and put his hand on Holden's shoulder. "Please?"

Holden's eyes narrowed deeply when Asher touched him, he grabbed Asher's arm and twisted it. "Don't you fucking touch me!" He bent it backwards until he heard it snap. "Now get off of my property before I kill you." He let go of Asher's arm.

Asher cried out in pain as his arm snapped, he quickly ran away when Holden let him go.

Holden looked at Alicia who was coming down the stairs, "Not a fucking word. Got it!?" He slammed the door as he felt a twinge in his chest.

[Evil Tink]

"And that's why you're still human Holden..." Solomon set his cup down, crossing his arms over his chest, "Well, I need to get going...Holden I want you to stay here. You'll find it rather boring there, trust me."

Mystic came over, swatting Holden upside the head, sending his heart back into a steady rhythm, "First off, you do not talk to a demon like that. Secondly, I can't leave. I need to stay here to make sure Melody doesn't go ripping your damn teeth out...or kill your ex out there." He opened the door with a heavy sigh, "Melody Clair Rousseau!"

Melody had appeared on Holden's front lawn as Asher came running and crashed into her on his path to the sidewalk. "Hey! You better watch it jack ass!" She quickly regained her balance and grabbed his other arm and forced him to the ground, looking up as Mystic called her name, "What!? Gah! Fine!" She let him go with a kick and cam eup to the door, "Happy?"

Mystic sighed, changing his appearance so he didn't have purple skin, pointed ears and his wings, just in case. He grabbed Melody's arm and pulled her inside, "I should've kept you in the damn doll..."

Melody pulled her arm away, "Yeah, yeah..." She sighed, running her hand through her hair, "Keep saying that..." She laced her fingers behind her back, looking to Holden, "It's my fault you're in trouble with the French again Holden and I'm really sorry."

[Bovice]

Asher skittered to his feet and ran away.

"No offense, but I don't consider you a demon. Your way to nice." Holden ran his hand through his hair. "You should of let her kill the fucking fool." He sighed. He pinched his nose, "It's not your fault Melody." He waved his free hand. "I'm the idiot that fucked with them in the first place." He sighed again. "I'm not saying that I'm not glad I met you..." He trailed off shaking his head. "Anyway, are you hungry Melody?" He looked at the girl. He sighed hearing Solomon speak but couldn't make out what he was saying. "Just a sec." He sighed as he walked to the kitchen. He peered in, "What were you saying Solomon?" He nearly falling over.

"Well that certainly was interesting." Alicia said walking down the rest of the stairs. "Welcome back Melody." She gave the girl a small hug. "And don't worry about Holden, he is just upset with a lot of things right now. Solomon and I are lying to him, he got fired this morning." She whispered so Holden wouldn't hear her.

[Evil Tink]

"No Holden..I'm fine..." She gave Alicia a half hug, "I see..." She frowned whispering back, "What are you keeping from him?"

Mystic narrowed his eyes a bit at Holden, "I can be quite nasty you know..." He shook his head, brushing the matter off as he looked to Alicia, "Yes spray tell."

Solomon sighed, putting his hands in his pockets, "I want you to stay here. There'd be nothing for you to do over there anyway..."

[Bovice]

"I can't tell. And I thought you knew about this Mystic." Alicia sighed.

"Whatever Solomon, just tell Kali good luck for me." Holden sighed as he went back to Melody. "Come on you three, its bad enough Solomon is keeping things from me, I don't want you guys to do the same." He sighed crossing his arms. "Just because I'm human doesn't mean I can't take news. Good or bad." He sat on the couch. He took off his ring and stared at it, "I don't know." He closed his eyes and leaned his head back.

[Evil Tink]

Solomon shook his head, "Just trust me Holden.." With that he disappeared.

Mystic shook his head, glancing over as Holden came back, "I honestly have no idea what they're hiding from you Holden. Honestly." "What's going on here Alicia?"

Melody frowned, sitting next to Holden. "Don't know about what?" She looked at the ring, pointing to it, "What's that for? It's a wonderful ring." She looked back to Alicia for a moment before looking back to Holden, "What did I miss?"

[Bovice]

"What do you mean they? Solomon is the one lying to me." Holden opened his eyes as he felt Melody sit down. "Me and Solomon are engaged. And I don't know if I want to go through with it. If he would just tell me the truth, I would be fine." He sighed. He looked at Melody, "That's basically all you have missed, other then my ex came here and stuck his tongue down my throat. And Solomon's birthday was yesterday." He tossed the ring onto the coffee table as he crossed his legs. "Alicia is it to early to start drinking?" He rubbed his temples.

"Holden its only 6 A.M., so yes it is." Alicia looked at Mystic. "We have Charun demons after us."

[Evil Tink]

Mystic coughed, his appearance quickly reverting back to his normal self, "C-Charuns!? Why didn't you tell me sooner?" He ran his hand through his hair, "Dammit...How many?" He looked to Holden, "How long has this..coldness been going on?" He pinched the bridge of his nose, "Dammit!"

"I'm sure things will work out Holden..just give it time." Melody frowned, looking up to Mystic, "Charuns? I've read about those. Wait..T-that means.." She jumped up off the couch, "When were you planning on telling me I was in danger Mystic? Huh!? It's bad enough I've got the damn French vampires after me!" She narrowed her eyes as they flashed red.

Jaelynn appeared standing next to Alicia, "Ah..um..where'd Solomon go?" She quickly gathering the information from Alicia's mind. "Oh that's not good...if Christine is a Charun, and I'm assuming Holden's gotten wind of this by that look on his face, then he should not be alone with her."

Melody looked over to Holden while Jaelynn went on ranting, "Basically, Charuns are like..the Ethereal world's bounty hunters..and guess who's numbers one through four on their list?"

[Bovice]

"Jaelynn said she was going to talk to you." Alicia crossed her arms.

"About three months." Holden sighed as Jaelynn appeared. He stood up, "I know what a Charun is. I have read some about them." He crossed his arms. "There was some stuff about them in a few of those blood bond books I had." He thought for a moment. "So that's why you were talking to a cat in my bathroom this morning." He nodded his head. "I'm also guessing that Seth and Serus are numbers five and six." He sighed. "Well, looks like it is back to hell for me. Yay..." His voice was sarcastic.

[Evil Tink]

Mystic looked to Jaelynn, "Thank you for contacting me Jaelynn.." He sighed, "No sense in being upset about it now. Either way, I will be back. I need to speak with a few people." He shook his head slightly and disappeared.

Jaelynn placed her hands on her hips, "Well I've been busy aanndd you're gone. Awesome. Yes, Holden, that's why. I was asked to not tell you, and I apologize. I told Solomon he should tell you. Don't be upset with him alright? He thought it would be best to not tell you so you could focus on your job, but seeing as that's not going to happen...I don't see why he didn't just explain to you what was going on. You're a strong person, you can handle this."

[Bovice]

Holden sighed as he turned around to pick up the ring. "Thank you for that Jaelynn." He smiled slightly as he walked over to Alicia. He grabbed her hand and laid the ring in it, "Teleport that to Solomon for me please." He nodded. "Oh well, but it would be nice if they would just kill me now. I'm the weakest out of the six. There isn't a way to appease Vanth. Soo.. Who wants some alcohol while I wait for death?" He shrugged looking around.

Alicia shook her head and teleported the ring into Solomon's hand. "Holden it's 6 A.M. you can't drink yet. And your not going to die." She sighed. "And I know sarcasm is your way of coping. But just give it a rest."
