Lexis finally caught onto the conversation and was prancing to her feet, happily skipping around Quinn. "Oh of course. You can always be human but who wants to be that? You have powers, strength and you live forever." Lexis slowly backed up, her expression turning dark and the wind picking up, blowing her blonde hair everywhere. "Who wants to be a disgusting human?"
Ivy soon added to wind storm, tossing leaves into it, the sky darkening. "Humans are so petty. Even Demons are horrible. Marcus was doing a good job controlling them but... now they have to die." Leon and Kronis cracked their necks, begging for a fight.

Quinn's heart skipped a beat. Humanity was fickle. She knew this to be true. She wanted out. She knew that she did. She watched Lexis dancing around her like she didn't have a care in the world and narrowed her eyes. Quinn's curious expression turned on Grayson now. She had thought that Grayson had said that he and Charity were through...no more. But here he stood, defending her. Trying to find some way to let her live. She would never understand men. Perhaps she was destined to be perpetually alone.
"She's not going to die. Not at your hand." Grayson said in a low done. His hands felt for his wand and he pulled it out of his back pocket. If it was a fight that they were after, then it would be a fight that they would get. He wasn't sure if he was a match for them but he knew that he had to do something. He wouldn't just sit by idly and let them hurt her. He felt the wind pick up around him, the sky darkening. He cast a look at Quinn who was struggling to keep her dark waves from going into her mouth.

Kronis spoke up first, stepping out of the group and pinning Quinn with a look. He was oddly intrigued with the girl. He shook his head quickly, trying desperately to reclaim his train of thought. He had been attracted to women before. Attraction didn't matter to a Hetilian. He had still managed to kill those women too.
"See, Grayson, that's where your wrong. We've already take out many threats. Mainly I have. Have you not heard of the mass killing in the Great Hall? Suck a pity really..." Leon let out a laugh and pounded Kronis on the shoulder hard. He laughed it off, swatting at Leon.
Ivy let out a low growl, stepping forward and pushing both of them back, although creating less space between Grayson and her. She slowly tried to think of how to deal with him. He was proving difficult.
Lust? Leon asked, trying to be helpful. Ivy nodded slowly. Perhaps.
"Grayson, you really don't care about a silly little Demon, do you?" Ivy pouted at Grayson as she moved forwardly. She went slow, giving him enough time to react and show she had no intentions of urting him. "She can't ever love you. She can't ever understand you."

Quinn bit down on her lip, caught one of their eyes...She thought that his name was Kronis, but she couldn't be quite sure, "Grayson..." She said quietly, a deadly warning just beneath of the surface of her words, and reached for his wand hand. She pushed it down gently so that his arm was resting against his side. She had heard about the murders. Many that she had held near and dear had died. She knew that they pair of them would be no match for the Hectilians.
Grayson jerked away from Quinn and gripped his wand tightly. Ivy was closing in on him, but he didnt exactly feel threatened. He stared at her with curiosity, trying to figure out what she was up to, "Of course I care about her...She's-" He was about to say that she was human and then he realized that she was not...He breathed a sigh and tried to avoid Ivy's intoxicating gaze, "Love is-" He couldn't make his sentences form correctly. Could Charity love him? He really had no idea. He had no idea the way that demons worked.

Ivy sighed, leaning into Grayson with a bright smile. She knew what she needed to do to make him understand. "She isn't human like you. She's a demon with no emotions. Bet she has you strung along with that act of "Oh, I can't love you! You'll hurt me!" but ain't that a down right lie?" Kronis, Leon and Lexis nodded, playing along with her act. It would help if they had someone working with them rather than against them.
"Kiss here, but you're alone. Kiss her but your lost!" Lexis added in, smiling in her over excited way. "She has you so far strung around her finger, that it ain't even funny. She ain't purdy, it's just you that thinks so!"
Kronis stood there, not realizing himself slowly inching towards Quinn. It was one of those irrational things where you wanted to protect someone you just met. He knew all to well that this scene could turn deadly in a moment... and they wouldn't be the ones dead.

Grayson shook his head, "That's not true she-" He realized that was exactly what Charity had told him. He felt his grip on his wand start to loosen as he stared at Ivy. All of the others nodded when she finished her statement. He looked from one to the other, trying to figure out what was going on.
Quinn gritted her teeth, becoming vaguely aware of Kronis' advances. She raised her eyebrows and took a subtle step backward, behind Grayson's sturdy frame. There was tension in the air. She could almost feel the static between the two groups.
"She is pretty!" Grayson finally said, confident that he had found something that they were wrong about, "She's the most beautiful...dangerous....beautiful girl that I've ever-" He bit down on his lip, sensing his slightly rambling. He looked back at Quinn for some reassurance, "Right? Right?" He asked, his wand loosening even further in his hand.
"Who am I to judge?" Quinn said and rolled her shoulders back, feeling a pop when she did. Grayson silently cursed her for being no help. It almost seemed like she was on her side.

Leon's eyes lit up as he stared Grayson down. Ivy made way slowly around Grayson and came in contact with Quinn. Lexis followed suit, landing on Quinn's other side. "How are you, darling?" Kronis questioned as he stepped behind Quinn suddenly. He smiled down at her in an evil way.
"Has she bitten you yet? She has to've if you react like that. Nothing better than a toy." Leon stepped towards Grayson, looking for any type of markings. "Even just a little nick would do it. Charity's evil that way. A triple threat. Smarts, power and a survival instinct. It'll be hard to take her down."

Quinn's body tensed. They were all very close to her. And she had been getting nervous when she had been in such close proximity to anyone...let alone these four who posed a threat to her. Then Kronis spoke to her. She tried to relax her shoulders as they spoke, "Never better." She answered quietly, running her finger over the scar on her wrist. Charity had bitten her the day of the masquerade ball when she had found out what Charity was on accident. She immediately let go of her wrist, wary of drawing any sort of attention to herself. She knew that the bite was dangerous.
Grayson raised his arms and pulled up his sleeves, showing Leon that there was not a scar on his body. Not even from falling off his bike, "No bite marks. Not a scratch. Not a knick. Nothing." He said and spun around. He caught sight of Quinn on his tiny spin and she was nervously touching her wrist. He wondered what that was all about, "She won't go down without a fight. You might as well give up. Marcus is in there too...I highly doubt that all of you could over power two of the most powerful demons in the world." He said when he finally turned full circle after his scar inspection, "There's really no need....I'll do whatever you want." He was wary of having them behind him. Grayson felt himself beginning to get uncomfortable.

Kronis pulled a lock of Quinn's hair into his hand and brought it up to his nose. Kronis didn't realize how weird people found someone sniffing their hair. It was a way of telling who someone was in a moments time. As Kronis inhaled he closed his eyes, allowing himself to focus more on the smell.
She smelled fruity with a hint of something spicy. It was a lovely smell until Kronis recoiled suddenly, Ivy and Lexis jumping back in response too. They all hissed as they rubbed at their noses, scratching at there eyes. Ivy let out a horrible screech as she cracked her neck and turned her face to Quinn.
Half of Ivy's face was a black color, seeming to burn. She narrowed her eyes at Quinn, putting her hair over her black face. It would be gone in three days at least, Her mission would have to be prolonged until then or they'd know exactly what they were up to.
"You little bitch! You could've told us you'd been claimed!" Elementals were sensitive to Demon claims. It was a thing of protection that Demons put over their pets. Kronis groaned as he flopped onto his ass and held his face. They hadn't directly sniffed her. All they had gotten was a wafting scent. Kronis felt as if his head was going to explode.
Lexis helped Kronis to his feet and slowly pulled him away from Quinn. The farther he stayed from her the better he would do. At least that was what Lexis had found when she had been little and gone through it.
"No, it will be quite easy. Ivy and Marcus are old... lovers. Loves her to pieces. He'll do anything for her. Ivy... she's a heart breaker. Just a regular... Charity Anderson." Leon laughed at the comparison although he knew Ivy wouldn't find it all too funny. They had gotten close to Quinn and Leon, one of the sick twits, hadn't warned them about how she'd been claimed. Leon had always been a bit more sensitive about it than the others.

Quinn was vaguely aware that someone was sniffing her hair. She felt her nose wrinkle when he touched her and then all of a sudden, he had recoiled. They all had. She spun around to stare at them, "Oh holy fu.ck." Quinn said as she recoiled from Ivy's terrifying face. It looked like her flesh was burning...charring to a dark black color. She gagged slightly stumbled forward and hit Grayson's shoulder. Ivy had demanded why she hadn't told her that she had been claimed and she groaned, "How was I supposed to know what that meant?!" She asked and stared at them all. Burning. Because of her. She felt a small smirk creep to her lips. Charity had given her....power? She smiled even bigger.
Grayson felt Quinn crash into him and he looked back at the other Elementals. They all looked stunned, faces charred. He narrowed his eyes as he turned back to Leon, "I don't think that Ivy will get anyone to fall back into love with her with that face." He muttered and shook his head, "Plus, heard he was interested in someone else." Lauren Bennett. He didnt want to say her name aloud in case they went after her. He couldn't be responsible for that.
Quinn peeked around Grayson, tearing her eyes away from the horrifying, and yet strangely interesting, sight of the Elemental's burnt faces and looked at Leon, "Why aren't you burning?" She asked, cocking her head to the side.

Leon looked at Quinn with a smart smirk. He raised an eyebrow as he suddenly heard a ping. Charity was in a ten foot radius. Now was the perfect opportunity. "I don't have to breath, Quinn." He said with a smile before he turned. "Kronis!" Krnois' head snapped up from where he was sitting a nd looked at Leon, pain burned into his face.
"We got some killing to do, Kronis. Charity is within ten feet. Lets hurry!" Kronis nodded, stopping everything around him. All of them stared at the frozen picture for a moment before they turned to the castle. Slowly they walked. Perhaps if they killed her when the world was frozen, everything would be fine.
Leon was the one with the first step into the castle, looking each way until he spotted a frozen Charity. She clutched onto her cross tightly ad he remembered what she had always done with that cross. He approached her slowly, the others lagging behind.
For a moment he could only stare. She looked so lost and confused, an odd look for a demon. So maybe he wasn't here to kill her. Maybe they were here to help them both. Leon ever so slowly caressed her sad face before he turned away, walking off down the hall. The others followed, keeping up with him.
"We're coming for you, Char, just wait." They muttered in unison as they turned the corner, time going back to normal.

Grayson looked around. They had gone. All of them. Just gone. The last thing that he had heart was Leon calling for Kronis to do something and then...nothing. Grayson turned slightly to the side, his back still pressed against Quinn's and stared at the forest.
"Where do you think they went?" Quinn finally said, her eyes traveling all around the grounds as well. It had been amazing what they had just done, but she would never let on that she was in awe of them. Her fingers traced the scar on her wrist again and she pushed herself away from Gray with a grunt, "We should go...longer we stand here the closer they get to Char." If they haven't killed her already. The last part was in her head so that she didnt upset Grayson.
Grayson nodded in agreement and they trudged up to the castle and threw open the doors to the entrance hall. All was silent. The calm before the storm...? Grayson almost forgot to breath as he looked around the hall. Nothing. No screaming. Blood curdling sounds. Was he too late to save her?

Charity crouched low upon hearing someone enter the hall. She cursed as the cross fell back against bare skin but tried to stay still as long as she could. It was a waste of time. The cross was burning like.. well... Hell for a lack of a better word.
She finally screamed and tore at the leather cord around her neck, struggling to pull the necklace off of her skin. It stuck to the singed flesh and she cried out more as she finally ripped it free. She feel back against the wall in relief as she finally pulled it out, holding the leather cord limply in her hand.

Grayson's ears perked up and Quinn turned to her left. She would recognize the sound of Charity trying to be strong anywhere. She leaned back against the wall and stared at Grayson, "Well are you going to go, or not, Gray? I sure as hell ain't going to come to her rescue." She said with a shake of her head. She pointed down the hall and rolled her eyes. It was not her place to go and help Charity. They weren't exactly on the best of terms.
Grayson stared at Quinn for a split-second before he went walking down the hall, looking for her. He saw her shadow on the ground and then he saw her, pushing up against the wall, holding the cross away from her body on a long leather cord, "Char?" He asked, quietly...almost timidly. It was very unlike him to be timid around her, but he wanted to make sure that she was alright. It was of the upmost importance now.

Charity's eyes popped wide as she heard Grayson's voice. She slowly rolled her head to the side and looked at Grayson, her eyes sharp. She blinked a few times in a lazy haze. That always happened after burning herself. Tis thick fog of confusion fell over her and her moving was always lethargic. She didn't feel good in the beginning. She had fooled around with William and she felt as if she had betrayed Grayson. Was that so wrong? He had said he didn't want her.
"Grayson... Hey..." Charity said slowly, slowly bringing the necklace down to rest over her clothes. She made sure it was secure, far enough from her skin, and dropped her hands down to her lap quickly. They fell together and Charity dropped her eyes back down to her lap. Looking at him brought up memories. Too many.
