Sweet Dreams

[Pathfinder]

< Erika watched everyone around her argue and wondered to herself how they could all not see that they literally wasted nearly an hour and a half arguing about who is right or wrong or in the clear and better than the other person. She actually felt pity for Morgan and Alison. She hated that both of them referred to her as weak. They would never understand White Magick. It was a choice. Since the beginning of time it has been easy to give into to darkness, into temptation. However, it is NOT easy to try and lead a pure and faithful life. It was hard to give up that temptation, the thrill of all that power. To give that up was great power all in itself and something that Morgan nor Alison would ever experience. Still, the night was over but some were not going to get any sleep. It was going to be a long night for Erika. The only person who now remained with Erika was Haleigh who she knew she could trust to try and figure out a way to get Cameron back. She looked at the fiery red head and let go a comforting smile. >

"I know you do not take well to emotions, but I do want to thank you for being there for my brother.. when I.. I couldn't be. I really appreciate it..."

< To be Honest, not even Erika knew what to say in this moment. It was a tad uncomfortable but Erika quickly diverted her attention back to the situation at hand. >

"Now, that THAT is out of the way we have a lot of work to do. Although the others may enjoy the luxury of sleep at this moment, as long as my brother is out there I will not rest until I at least know that he is safe. Haleigh, I know you keep supplies on you. What I need you to do is take a scan of the room. Let me know if you find any traces of blood or skin cells. I should be able to use those for vanquishing potions and come up with some kind of spell. I am going to attempt to contact Cameron through a Telepathy Spell I have in my own Book of Shadows. It should allow us some form of communication on the Astral Plane at least... Now let's get to work..."

< First and foremost, Erika cast a restoration spell using her own abilities to restore her attic sanctuary to how it was before the confrontation between Kelly and Alison. Now the room grew slightly dimmer as candles among many places in the room began to light as Erika opened the large window to let the breeze of the Ocean come forth. Taking out a few supplies Erika began to trace a Pentagram in chalk on the floor. As she finished the pentagram glew a bright white before stopping a pale silver glow that illuminated the area but was not overpowering. In each of the points of the pentagram. On the North point she put a chalice of the sand on her beach which represented the Earth. On the East she laid down an eagle feather which she had found in one of her adventures across the country while working on a case that represented air. On the South she placed a piece of hardened lava rock she had got on vacation in Hawaii which represented fire and in the West she laid out the palm of her hand and water seemingly "poured" from her hand into another chalice as the sound of running water could now be heard in the room. Each of the things that she used to represent the elements were very important to her and would only increase the power of her circle. As she stepped inside her circle she laid the thick Silver Candle down in the middle as she lit the candle, her eyes immediately turning their Quicksilver Grey. With her Book of Shadows at hand it was opened to a spell. Haleigh was in somewhat awe of Erika's powerful yet ethereal look as the spell was chanted. >

"Guardians of the Astral Plane, Hear and Guide my Plea! When the witchin hour rings true, bring my brother Cameron to me! Other beings who hear my call are not welcome in this place. Only the one known as my Brother, may enter in this place! So Mote it Be!"

< Erika continued to chant the spell as Haleigh began to scan the place for anything that might help out. >

 

[Witchfire]

- Kelly King now stood in the abandoned lighthouse exactly 7 miles away from the Estate of her daughter Erika. Soft candlelight illuminated the room as Witchfire began to think of her next line of attack. Alison was much stronger than Kelly was willing to give her credit for and before Morgan even returned to the Estate, Kelly was able to feel her darkness and her change. The two were so much alike that it was a conundrum to Morgan as to why they just didn't team up and take everyone out together. They would make quite the pair. Morgan was someone who was woman enough to take on the pathetic coattail riding cheating and lying species of men and not feel sorry for it. After all, women had suffered through much worse over the years. Morgan's only flaw was her friendship with Kelly's daughter. She couldn't fathom what those two would have in common but nevertheless, Kelly King had a mission to carry out. She needed to kill each and every one of the Six. And she almost had one. She smiled a demonic grin as she looked over at Cameron who was now tied to a chair with magickal constraints. He wouldn't be able to use his powers to escape and his strength would not even be close to strong enough to break the chains. Kelly had imbued her nails with a powerful poison that was now coursing through her son's body. By tomorrow night he would be dead but Witchfire was hoping sooner than that. She was hoping that by tomorrow morning, the Six would be exponged and all of their power would be hers. It was now time to stir the pot of insecurity even more as her black Scrying Mirror allowed her to see where everyone was as she projected out to them. They would all think of her appearance to them as a dream but on the contrary it would be very real. It was now time to completely sever the bond of the Six once and for all. -

Morgan:

- Kelly appeared within Morgan's Chamber of Dreams. She was thinking of appearing to Morgan as her father or maybe Black but the change in Morgan indicated to Kelly that maybe appearing as herself might be best. Instinctively Morgan woke up as the intangible form of Kelly King appeared in front of her. Kelly sat down on the Vanity and waved her hand. -

"Don't worry Morgan. I won't bite.. but I can sense that now you just might. Remember this is a dream, you won't get anywhere killing me now. I have come into your dreams because I have important information for you.. Are you interested?"

- Kelly clasped her hands together and awaited a suprised but seemingly calm Morgan's response. -

Alexis:

- Seeing the Alexis who had seemingly fell asleep on her couch in the middle of going somewhere, Kelly entered the room with a cool and calm approach. Alexis was easily the most manipulative and she knew exactly who to turn into. As Alexis arose from her sleep she was now looking dead at AJ, her brother who was really Kelly in disguise. She sat down next to Alexis and look concerned. -

"Don't worry Alexis.. this is a dream. There is something important you have to know... something about the Six, about Kelly. I need to tell you now..."

Blaze:

- Kelly could instantly tell who to change into to scare this woman into believing anything she had to say. Blaze was startled out of bed to see the Form of her highschool priniciple. The one who had stolen her innocence so long ago. This time she wouldn't be able to roast him as this projection was intangible. She would simply have to listen to his every word. -

"Blaze.. so we meet again. Don't worry.. in dreamland, things are a little bit different. Look.. I have been sent by a higher power. I have important news about you and the Six and I suggest you listen, though of course we could take a little romp in the sheets before hand you dirty little girl..."

Alison:

- Last but not least, Kelly crept in the bedroom of Alison Marble King or whatever she wanted to call herself today. She had to think for a moment to figure out who to turn into but then it hit her. Her body began to glow as she shifted into the form of Cameron as a Spirit. His body was slightly glowing as there was a mark underneath his throat from the wound Kelly had inflicted on him earlier. Alison arose from her bed shocked. -

"Hello, Alison. I know, I know. I am probably the last person you want to see.. but hey.. there is good news? At least I am not alive... I have important things to tell you.. things that need to be done. To protect everyone. To protect you and Erika and Morgan especially. Just hear me out.. then I will go to the big hereafter no problem..."

---------------------------------------------------------

- Now everyone was being subtley manipulated yet again by Kelly King. These illusions were shocking and someone just evil but it seemed that the Six could not turn away, couldn't shut the images off. There was too much of an emotional connection to the illusions that made them listen and not want to turn away. She was getting to them again. -

- Kelly clasped her hands together and awaited a suprised but seemingly calm Morgan's response. -

<<Kelly was foolish if she thought Morgan was actually ASLEEP. Morgan, who was sitting in a throne like chair she had conjured for herself , was the one WATCHING over Alison, Blaze and Delilah. She had JUST blinked before opening her eyes and looked upon the astral projection of Kelly with a psychotic predatory stare..as she stood up....just as tall as Kelly WITHOUT heels...she now dwarfed her due to the heels she was wearing>>

<< her posture was very confrontational...as thunder rumbled in the air>>

Old woman....you do NOT know who you attempt to jest with. I will break your body in HALF. Attempting to contact me through MAGICK was one of your most foolish moves YET.

<< her hands raised....halos of violet eldritch energy were formed around them>>

What you fail to realize is that i DONT CARE about your information. I am as beyond you as the human is beyond the amoeba! YOU have five seconds to get the hell out of my sight....before i ANNIHILATE YOU!

<< the winds whistled erriely as Morgan smiled...to reveal a most wicked grin...as her face was no partially enshrouded in shadow. her cape with, its black underside, rose up behind her....giving the effect of large demonic wings that extended shadows across the room to encompass Kelly's astral form...a symoblic manifestation of the DEATH Morgan would bring upon her.>>

5.....4.....1!!

<<ZARK!>>

<< Morgan fires upon the astral image with FULL FORCE....as a blast of thunder rocks the air around Erika's house. Kelly failed to realize that Morgan was now at a point where she would NOT be manipulated. The "dream" she had out on the ocean...it CHANGED her to her core...as it was MORE than a mere dream. she didnt CARE about anyone in this house nor did she care what Kelly had to say. She was now firmly established as the dark sorceress supreme and she had no problem maiming or killing ANYONE in this house who got in her way. The blast may not have HARMED the astral form, but it certainly appears that it would as it DESTROYS the wall that it hits, causing that floor of the house to shake and list violently as pipes and wires are exposed. Morgan laughed softly as she admired the destruction she caused. Tossing her now longer, blonde, double highlighted hair and turning on her heel, her cape sweeping behind her, she strutted out of the room and out into the hall.>>


<<she bellowed out loud..shouting through the house as thunder rumbled>>

ERIKA! can't you do a better job of protecting your damn house? YOUR MOTHER is ANNOYING ME AGAIN but of course she wont bother to show her face corporeal.



<< Fuming, Spellbinder stormed down the hall....Kelly would have to try her luck with the others. Morgan was too far gone and detached. She was a walking weapon of mass destruction. She was now making her way to check on Blaze and Alison.>>

Alison:

- Last but not least, Kelly crept in the bedroom of Alison Marble King or whatever she wanted to call herself today. She had to think for a moment to figure out who to turn into but then it hit her. Her body began to glow as she shifted into the form of Cameron as a Spirit. His body was slightly glowing as there was a mark underneath his throat from the wound Kelly had inflicted on him earlier. Alison arose from her bed shocked. -

"Hello, Alison. I know, I know. I am probably the last person you want to see.. but hey.. there is good news? At least I am not alive... I have important things to tell you.. things that need to be done. To protect everyone. To protect you and Erika and Morgan especially. Just hear me out.. then I will go to the big hereafter no problem..."
-

::Alison, had been laying on a couch, refusing to undress...and keeping the temporal field around herself variating so that no one would be able to physically reach her without her having suitable time to blast them.::

::she slowly began to stir...as this sleep had been just what she needed. confident that Morgan was watching over the house and keeping an eye on them.::

hmmmmm?

::she heard the most unwanted sound disturbing the silence....Cameron's voice....as she slowly opened her cobalt blue eyes and looked over. Her eyes WIDENED for a moment to see "Cameron" standing there. Her serenity faded as she was SO AGITATED. She didnt even bother to properly acknolwedge him. she DID notice that Blaze and Delilah were no longer in the room. She assumed They probably had gone down the hall to where Morgan was.::

what the hell do YOU want? if you're dead, its no less than you deserve.just MOVE ON. I can take care of myself, so can Morgan and apparently so can Erika.



::She dismissively waves him off as she settles down and closes her eyes once more. not remotely interested in what he has to say...and wishing that she would have a BETTER dream. Guardian was actually still asleep, so tired that she didnt realize it was a dream. She was hardly afraid. She'd seen and lived through worse. Whether or not "Cameron" would continue to speak was of no importance to Guardian. Her hatred of Cameron was almost NUMBING....Blaze had it right...the "alpha male" posturing that he had forced upon the women of The Six did not sit well with Morgan OR Alison...and it was that among MANY OTHER reasons, most of which were deep seeded that caused Alison to despise Cameron almost as much as she despised Kelly.::

 

[Foxfire]

** Blaze opted for the cool, flat hardwood floors compared to sleeping on the couch. She left that luxury for Alison. Yawning slowly, sinking her head into the silky soft pillow. Usually Blaze didn't require sleep but tonight she was exhausted and utterly stressed. Her body relaxing under the warmth from the baby blue blanket which was draped over Foxfire's sleeping form. She too remained clothed, in case Kelly struck again. **

** It was pleasant to know Morgan was watching over herself and Alison. The fact that allowed Blaze to fall asleep. But the problem was, Erika couldn't always protect her house from intruders, an example that good magick cannot always triumph. **

** At this very duration, Blaze awoke immediately. Maybe it was her six sense but she felt very on edge. Opening her tired sage green eyes, rubbing the small ounce of sleep from them. When her vision clearly, Blaze gasped at the sight of the man standing before her. **

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! GET AWAY FROM MEEEE!!"

** By now, Blaze was disturbed by the man who raped her all those years ago. It still left a painful scar for Blaze. A curse she never came to terms and Kelly was clever to use it against her. Thrashing on the floor, Blaze shoved the blanket off her. Stumbling to her feet, she backed away into the coffee table, knocking off the lamp, which shattered to pieces. **

"You WON'T hurt me! I won't let you to ravage my body, you BASTARD!!"

** Immediately Blaze's hands began to glow a bright red as they flamed with thick lava bolts. The flames morphed into an eerie iridescent blue shade. Throwing the bolt at the Principal, she was shocked that it flew right THROUGH him! The bolt rocked against the wall now, creeping along a portrait, catching it on fire. The hot fire began to eat away on the wood and glass. The potent smell of smoke filled the house, immediately. Even the smoke alarm blared through the house. Blaze didn't realize the damage she was causing. Her fear clouding her judgment **

"No, I KILLED YOU! I watched your ashes BURN!!"

** By this time, Foxfire was becoming heavily distraught from the images she saw. She quickly shut her eyes like Jamie Lee Curtis in Halloween H20. Opening them, the image was still there and even talking to her! Screaming in agony, Blaze was frustrated! Usually she could make her problems disappear but not tonight. However at the mention of the idea of rolling in the hay, Blaze's eyes were charged with turmoil and rage. **

"Get away you dirty old man!"

** Turning to the side, Blaze turned to run away from him. She glanced over her shoulder, seeing his form still there. Stopping in her tracks, Blaze's mind raced with assaults on his image. **

"If this is dreamland, I want you GONE!!"

** Blaze's eyes leaked tears while she stared at the man who brutally attacked her. She was crumbling without realizing it. Wrapping her arms across her waist, Blaze collapsed to her knees. Sobbing at this man, it was her all time weakness. Falling back to the floor, she curled up into a ball. **

"You stole my life....I was so young...but what do you WANT from me that you haven't stolen or taken from me?!"

** Blaze's tears were beginning to soak her own shirt. This was an issue that was never settled. Fox never discussed it fully or how it broke her in half. Whimpering at the pain, she was helpless to rid herself of him. She was forced to listen, hoping he would leave her. Why couldn't he be gone? **

 

[Persephone]

Alexis:

- Seeing the Alexis who had seemingly fell asleep on her couch in the middle of going somewhere, Kelly entered the room with a cool and calm approach. Alexis was easily the most manipulative and she knew exactly who to turn into. As Alexis arose from her sleep she was now looking dead at AJ, her brother who was really Kelly in disguise. She sat down next to Alexis and look concerned. -

"Don't worry Alexis.. this is a dream. There is something important you have to know... something about the Six, about Kelly. I need to tell you now..."

:: Alexis had fallen asleep on the rocking chair outside on her balcony. It was a beautiful night; there was a soft breeze out, and it was the perfect temperature outside. Stirring a bit, Alexis couldn't help but think there was someone else in her presents...Opening her sapphire eyes, Alexis turned her head towards where "AJ" was and jumped a bit at the sight of him. In actuality Aexis was actually STILL ASLEEP in her rocking chair, dreaming this entire scenario...But to her it felt very real. Nevertheless, this was odd...there was no way in HELL AJ would just show up in Alexis' house unannounced. Especially after the events that had just recently happened up at Wyndemere. Studying her "brother" closely, she listened to what he had to say. How did he know about Kelly King...this wasn't right? .::

"Who are you? What the hell do you want."

 

[Spellbinder]

<<As Spellbinder made her way down the hall, her cape took up alot of space behind her...encompassing any smaller furnishings as she made her way down the hall. a scowl etched in her intimidating face indicated that anyone foolish enough to try to ambush her would suffer dearly. She wanted to make sure the others were fine and sleeping undisturbed and no doubt if Kelly were attempting to project images to HER, then she was doing the same thing to them>>

this woman and her petty trickery and manipulation...its SO PREDICTABLE! IS IT ANY WONDER THEY HAD TO SEND BLACK AGAINST ME? and NOW..HE is my SERVANT!

<<she heard Blaze screaming....and wasted no time, summoning a disc..teleporting in the blink of an eye...finding Blaze writhing on the floor>>

BLAZE! get ahold of yourself! its KELLY again!

<< Morgan directed a gust of wind over and around Blaze to jostle her and awaken her before more fear and paranoia were instilled in her. It was fortunate that Morgan arrived when she did. She was the wild card...the elementa that Kelly could no longer manipulate and control.....it help hasten Kelly's defeat and destruction.>>

<< Shockwave, however, was another matter. she had FOOLISHLY returned to NYC and Illustra ALONE...where Kelly would have free reign with her. She was was not there for Kelly's first round of manipulation. and apparently she HADNT LISTENED to what Guardian, Spellbinder and even HALEIGH had said. tonight of all nights, it was FOOLISH for most members of The Six to be alone. Shockwave would have to suffer through this ....no matter how FALSE the information she was given in the dream. Without Spellbinder there to awaken her before Kelly's duration.>>

 

[Foxfire]

** Blaze cringed even tighter into a ball, ducking her head safely. Her whole body was tense with stress, not just because of the illusion she was seeing but because the toll of the actual encounter, the flashbacks. It took Blaze months to recover from the trama, keeping it hidden within her very soul. And now, here he was again molesting her with his words this time, instead of those greasy slimy hands. Shuddering at the cold draft of wind that blew around her, making the blanket cover some of her calves. That sudden sensation was able to stir Blaze inside of her dreamland. Awakening with another scream, sitting upright on the floor. **

** Her breathing was much heavier then before but she noticed Morgan standing approximately three feet in front of her. Was this another dream? Peering around, Fox saw no sight of damage she had unleashed earlier. "A dream....a horrible dream." She said weakly, wiping away the dried tears that stained her beautiful angelic face. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Blaze stood up from the floor. "I had a nightmare....my principal was back and he told he had some information to tell me. But in my dream world I couldn't lash out at him." **

** The volume in her tone cracked, revealing a sharp contrast to her earlier highly strung emotions. Now, she seemed like a child, innocent and scared of a dream, a nightmare. Blaze felt foolish for letting such a dream get to her, but maybe it was Kelly's bidding. "I'm guessing it was Kelly again?" She said while moving to the arm chair, sinking down into the cushion. Her hand moved up to wipe away the sweat that leaked from her forehead, she was still shaken from the dream. "thank you for waking me Morgan." Her eyes rolling up onto Morgan's form, she looked so intimidating to Foxfire. But she knew under that demonic core lay her sister, her beloved sister who always watched her, even now. Crossing one leg over the other, Blaze tucked her arms under her sides, wrapping them around her, keeping the warmth within her. In a strange way, Kelly reminded Blaze of the creature character named "Freddy" on Nightmare on Elm Street. His power to manipulate your dream world, including terrifying a person with fear before he killed them in brutal ways. **

** Blaze was speechless now, she felt so weak and vulnerable. And she despised anyone who saw her in this new form of individuality. It only made her more human but to Blaze it was a weakness, a weakness she desired to store away. Five minutes later, Blaze seemed to calm herself down, realizing it was only a dream that Kelly helped create. She glanced over to Alison, who was a foot from her, laying on the couch. Fox had forgotten Guardian lay sleeping there, she probably always woke the poor woman, depriving her of any sleep. It seemed no one would sleep tonight, especially the Six. **

 

[Spellbinder]

<<althought she heard everything blaze said, Morgan seemed uninterested in all that Blaze was saying. she simply stared at her as she explained what happend and as she sat on a chair near by>>

Kelly is weak. she's been doing this since before we got out here. but none of that matters. she is playing desperate games because she knows she does NOT have the power to control everyone in this group. she knows her end is near. She's doing all she can as a last ditch effort.

<< Morgan walked slowly around the room...like a the grim reaper..as she turned and walked back ....her cape flowing with her movements. She was quite cold and irritated>>

Erika is getting on my nerves....she cant even keep her house protected. I believe she would rather all of you suffer while she tries to rescue that worthless CAMERON. no wonder you all can't get it together long enough. We NEVER shouldve come out here. If i had been at Illustra when Kelly FIRST arrived, she would be nothing more than a pile of ASH by now. she started off her campaign like a cowardly scavenger...waiting till i was away.

<< Morgan hoped Kelly would appear now..>>

undoubtedly the harpie is watching this on her rat tag , cheap copy of the Scrying Glass....i hope she shows up...NOW!

<<Looking at Guardian, who appeared to be sleeping soundly>>

Let her rest. She needs it. IF she's having dream or the like, she's strong enough in the mind and well aware of Kelly's M.O. she will fight her way out of whatever nonsense Kelly brings her way.

<< Spellbinder pointed in the air..as a chime sounded...and a stream of silver eldritch energy began to flow quickly around the room>>

If ANY OTHER magickal signature besides mine or Alison's comes into this room, I will detect it and destroy the source. My magickal detection is as on point as it ever was, and SHE cant escape it. I'm through playing cat and mouse. IF her own daughter cant get her act together long enough to even FIND ..much less deal with Kelly then im sending you, alison and delilah back to NYC and let HER and haleigh deal with it. I dont care about ANY of this and i have more important things to do right now

<< she laughed softly as she thought about some of those things>>

 

[Foxfire]

** Morgan undoubtedly was content with her new sense of self, a dark contrast to the more humane woman she was before. Blaze could tell how aloof her sibling was, not even asking any sort of detailed questions....like she didn't care. Such a change bothered Blaze, but she failed to comment on it, now was not the time. And she did not want to provoke her sister, pushing her over the edge into eternal darkness. Leaning her head back against the cushion on the chair, Blaze had no desire to sleep, not yet anyway. Instead she carefully studied Alison's sleeping habits, at least one of them could slumber peacefully. **

"Morgan..."

** Blaze gently called out to her older sister. Blaze seemed slightly hesitant but now was her chance. Her chance to discuss the outcome of events to come. Her eyes locked onto Morgan, seeing her cape flowing quietly in the air. **

"What is it like in Limbo? I mean, you said you feel SPECIAL there....would you ever take me there?"

** A curious question from Blaze, but she was intrigued by his dark realm that Morgan controlled. She pictured it almost like hell, a mixture of temperatures of cold and hot with a barren land. Various demons and unique creatures flying, walking, crawling, etc. **

"You speak highly of such a place....perhaps sometime maybe I would visit....and Black, is he there too?"

** Another intimate question, Blaze was merely searching for answers. Trying to undercover Morgan's more soulless life energy. She hated the awkwardness of silence, it made things more uncomfortable. But while she called out to her, Blaze drastically lowered her voice volume to a whisper, making sure not to awaken Alison. Rising from the chair, Blaze walked over to her sister. Straining her neck to lock eyes at the statuesque woman whose piercing violet eyes burned into Blaze, another disturbing sight. **

"Show me Morgan, I want to see...I want to see such power you possess. You said in Limbo time lingers on and off. If this is true, take me there."

** Blaze was walking dangerously on thin ice, asking to see Limbo. Especially such a dark world, she could be denied for her soul had not been tainted in a way her sister's had. All Blaze wanted to do was to understand Morgan and what she had become. Stepping around her sister, Blaze moved to the large bay window next to the couch. Blaze stared longingly up at the bright full moon. She half expected Morgan to deny her the opportunity to see Limbo, her sister would probably scold her for asking such a favor. It was a crazy insane idea Blaze knew, but she had nothing to lose. **

 

[Witchfire]

- Kelly looked at Alexis still pretending to be AJ before deciding to throw the whole thing to crap. She was the only one in New York City and in Illustra. She should just kill her now and sever any hope the Six had of beating her regardless of the seemingly super charged Morgan they now had. The form of her brother quickly faded from Shockwave's point of view and Kelly appeared in front of her. Quickly all the windows in her penthouse began to burst as Kelly's appearance took on a much more demonic stature as her teeth became fanged and twisted horns began to emerge from her forehead. She looked at Alexis with a bloodlust. She would be her first kill since she emerged from her Hell Dimension. She ignited an ensnaring spell as bright red webs of magick began to swirl around her body tightening her and constricting her, making movement extremely hard. In the backround her fireplace burned bright as other things began to set on fire, the hour hands on the clock began spinning backwards as Kelly stepped forward, almost wanting Alexis to fight back. She hadn't had a worthwhile battle since Alison and now she was craving it. She looked at Alexis and smiled. -

"The Lone Member of the Six.. You were stupid enough to be alone and now you will suffer the consequences! GO AHEAD AND HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT BITCH!"

- Instantly Kelly began to sever all astral forms from the Estate as she focused now only on Alexis, wanting to kill her more than words could speak. If she killed Alexis, the Six would be severed and she could move in on them one by one. -

 

[Prophet]

:: Cameron soon felt himself drift from his sweaty and poisoned body to the Astral Plane and all the way to the Gates of the Astral Plane where he was thrust down into the realm of Earth. Before he knew it, his astral form was floating in front of his sister who was deep within a circle of magick. He looked up at his sister and hugged her as he stopped to take a deep breath before unleashing a huge amount of information ::

"Erika! I don't have much time. Kelly is targeting all the members of the Six. I am in some kind of lighthouse. I used whatever power I could to detect that but that is about it. I know that I am close to you as I can sense you from where I am. I can see what she is doing. I have been actively tracing her with my mind. I can't use any aggressive powers or the chains I have on will fry me. But she is attacking Alexis. She went back to NYC and she is alone. Don't call Morgan or Alexis. You NEED to save her. Go!"

:: Transporting back to his weak body he watched from his mind's eye at what Shockwave was going through. This entire journey had sort of been a revelation of sorts for Cameron. He had actually felt about how Alexis and Cameron were handling their relationship. He wanted desperately to help her but knew he would die if he used an active power. Slowly his eyes fluttered as another pang of poison coursed through his system causing him to lose unconsciousness once more as his mind faded to black. It was now up to Erika. ::

 

[Persephone]

:: Still in a dream state, Alexis wasn't surprised when "AJ" transformed into Kelly....Soon, all of Alexis' penthouse windows began to explode, sending shards of glass flying in every direction. The sound of the glass shattering alone startled Alexis awake...finding herself quickly ducking and protecting her head from the flying debris. Lifting her head, Alexis stood from her huddled position seeing Kelly in her bedroom with a most sinister look on her face. Stepping through what was left of her French doors, a soft crunching sound was heard as Alexis' boots crushed the shattered glass beneath her. Kelly wasted no time....what looked like blood red smoke began to swirl around the meta-human's body constricting her body, preventing her from moving. Narrowing her eyes at Kelly....she was truly going to enjoy kicking the shit out of this bitch. Fires began to explode all around her room, sending waves of heat in Alexis' direction. Without even flinching, the fires immediately subsided as she drained the energy needed to keep them kindling, completely dry. Burn marks, ash, and smoke were all that were left. ::

"You honestly think because i'm not with the others...you can just toss me aside like a piece of rotten meat? Think again bitch."

:: The power in the building began to fluctuate as an intense humming sound could be heard. Alexis' body began to glow a neon blue before it completely exploded on the spot...and disappearing before Kelly's eyes. The lights stopped flickering, and the entire room was pitch black....for a few seconds, there was no sound, no light. Nothing. Suddenly, the floor where Kelly was standing began to glow blue, and ALEXIS...in her energy form, entered Kelly's body, electrocuting her. The intensity, the power of Alexis' electricity running throughout Kelly's body again made the entire room flicker until the bulbs burst and the only light illuminating the room was Kelly herself, being fried. ::

 

[Witchfire]

- Kelly watched as Alexis writhed within her ensnaring spell and was reveling within the moment when all of a sudden, Shockwave dissappeared from the room in a blast of exploding blue energy. The eerie silence didn't seem to phase Kelly whatsoever. She knew about Alexis. Who she was, what her powers were. No doubt that she was gathering enough energy for another attack. Without further notice Kelly noticed the floor glow blue underneath her as she felt electricity surge throughout her body. It was Shockwave, she was eletricuting her from the inside out. The pain was intense, but now her true demonic nature was taking over. Thinking quickly she began to ignite a spell. -

"By the Shades of the Shadowy Demons, Let her mind collapse before mine!"

- For a few moments nothing had happened as the electricity continued to course through her body though it wasn't long until Kelly gained complete control over Alexis as she expelled the Meta Human from her body. She ended the spell there as Shockwave tumbled to the floor. She looked at her with such hatred and disdain that Alexis felt like she had somehow wronged Kelly and this was her vengeance. It was so surreal but terrifying at the same time. Witchfire laughed a hideous laugh as she squinted her eyes and threw Alexis into the wall. -

"Now you know something that all the King children have in common. They get most of their powers from their mother.. I know them inside and out and apparantely you know my son inside and out.. don't you.. Figures he would go with the unstable alcoholic two bit Slut.. But now.. your inability to deal with the situations around you will cause the death of the Six... you are DEFENSELESS Alexis! Nobody will come for you! It ends HERE! And if you think you can just go all intangible on my ass, think AGAIN! The Six dies NOW!"

- Levitating in the Air Kelly chants a deadly spell -

"From the bitter blazing land, may the Faltine raise their hand! May their flames now leap and hiss and OPEN WIDE a great abyss!"

- The ground began to rumble and shake as magickal energy began to crack around the area underneath where Alexis was now tumbled on the ground as a giant fiery portal began to open up underneath her. Though there where GREAT flames of high intensity there was also extremely gale winds that were pulling her into some kind of dimension. It was trying to envelop her. This was the same Hell Dimension that Kelly had been trapped in for years. The one that had made her even more psychotic. Alexis would die once she entered the realm as did all Mortals. If Erika didn't come soon. The Six would be no more and Alexis would lose her life. -

 

[Pathfinder]

< Erika was shocked at the words of her brother though deep down she was actually proud. He was risking alot if Kelly found out that she had cast a spell to bring him here and now he wasn't trying to save himself but Alexis. This was the Cameron that not everyone saw or the side to him that people chose to ignore. This was why Haleigh and Cameron got along so well. Turning back to the task at hand, Erika knew what she needed to do. She had to go and save Alexis or else the fate of the Six would be non existant and Kelly would be able to kill each and every one of them one by one, no matter what Morgan or Alison thought they were capable of. They weren't prepared to deal with someone who was such a loose cannon. This woman had been locked in a Hell Dimension for years. This was her big coming out party. She had day after day and what seemed like years to think about her revenge, plot about ways to kill her family. She was no longer just the overbaring and evil Matriarch of the King Family. She was a Psychotic Over the Edge Demon Witch with one thing on her mind. The blood of all the Six on her hands and the reward she would get afterwards. Erika looked to Haleigh who was doing work on the Attic but had obviously heard the conversation between Erika and her brother. >

"I have to go get her Haleigh.. Do you wish to Come?"

 

[Persephone]

:: Feeling Kelly weaken only slightly, the short lived victory ended as the witch cast a spell sending her electrical form from Kelly's body and tumbling to the ground. Now in her true state, Alexis lifted her head looking up at Witchfire, before she sent the meta-human flying roughly into the wall. Grunting from the force of the impact, Alexis slid down the wall, once again on the floor. Her sapphire eyes could burn a hole through the woman as she glared intensely at her...Ugh, how she spoke about her like she was nothing more then trash. Gritting her teeth Alexis began to push herself up off the ground...until suddenly, the ground began to shake. Loosing her balance, she frantically tried to regain her composer...but the ground soon began to fall away like sand. Her eyes went wide as she quickly scrambled to get away from the hole, but it continued to grow larger and larger...Grabbing one the solid oak legs that propped her bed up, she held on for dear life feeling the pull of the gale force winds trying to suck her down. Her blonde locks tumbled everywhere, the noise was so loud and intense, she could hardly even breathe. Feeling her one hand starting to slip, she figured she would attempt one last effort to maybe knocking Kelly out--although it seemed pretty slim at this point. Squinting her eyes, much like Prue from Charmed, an energy disk formed under her massively large oak dresser which Kelly stood next to. The disk lifted the dresser, sending it hurling toward Kelly. Becoming distracted once again by the large soul sucking hole that was under her, a small shriek escaped her lips as her hand finally slipped from the death grip she had on the bed leg. The ground continued to grow under her, her body slipping into the Hell Dimension. The only thing keeping her from entering it was her beloved bed....and how she would treat her bed like a God if she survived this ordeal.. ::

 

[Spellbinder]

back on the west coast

<< It was dark in this den that the three women were in. Spellbinder's aura was so cold and forbidding....but somehow, her sister mustered the courage to ask her about Limbo...about her mystical heritage and the changes she'd gone through. It was the first time anyone, outside of Alison or Delilah had been so bold as to ask such things of Spellbinder.>>

<< she was slowly walking around the room, casually observing objects and knick knacks around as she swept her cape over furnishings. she seemed to ignore Blaze at first, But she soon turned around and looked upon her sister with a cold soulless stare>>

you're curiosity...just like a moth to the flame.

<<soft flashes of lightning in the black clouds of the night sky preceeded a long , yet relatively low volume roll of thunder>>

when i was 18, i fell into Limbo for the first time, not knowing it was real...i thought it was a dream. but despite its cold, dark, terrifying expanse, i felt AT HOME. In Limbo, i can be who i want to be, power without consequence. A realm of magick...that exists OUTSIDE of time and space. A chance to explore my heritage without the hypocritical constraints of this mortal realm.

<< several rectangular shimmering frames formed..moving in different directions. each one featured a beautiful image of Magik, Darkchilde, and Spellbinder.>>

They are ME...and I am THEM...different facets, different realities..the same core being.

<<images of Belasco, S'ym, Ororo, and Karen circled around all the dark trinity>>

and these people.....in each reality, they shaped us all. two represented darkness, two represented light. despite the fierce opposition...there was a balance...that was NECESSARY. That is where Erika fails....she doesnt realize that "black magick" as she calls it is as ancient as this earth itself...the power, the tremendous force of the arts arcane...they just ARE. she will learn...they will ALL learn, that the trite cliche "good always prevails" is NOT as stone set as they would believe. The INFERNO will clear away the dead wood....and rid me of the pestilence!

<<the images all fade away. it was quiet and sober in this room, as Guardian slumbered and Spellbinder addressed Blaze, still not really paying her any true attention. She snaps her fingers as her throne like chair appears, and seats herself looking every bit like the ruler of the hoards of Limbo.>>

WHERE is that woman!? how DARE she waste our time like this...how massively incompetent she has prooven herself to be more than once this night!

<< she was of course, referring to Erika, who had done a poor job of protecting her house from outside intrusion, as well as failing to stand along side Alison in the first round against Kelly. Morgan was truly done with the "humanity" of this situation. She only remained, so that SHE could exact her own personal revenge upon Kelly. and woe unto Erika if SHE interferred.>>

 

[Black Widow]

Haleigh nodded as Erika thanked her, moving to the large window and looking out over the beach. She seemed pensive, and almost sad... and that terrible feeling of dread at the center of her being grew stronger still. She knew now it wasnt just this jam they were in, nor was it entirely due to Cameron's disappearance. No... something else was wrong... something back home.... something personal perhaps... she hoped her family was okay... and her thoughts briefly visited Cassandra, who was supervising a photoshoot overseas.... she wished she could check on them all... but now was not the time. Haleigh stared out the window as she spoke, her anger rising again as she forced out the words.

"Cameron would have done the same for me... Blaze is SOMEWHAT right... it goes beyond our pact... Cameron and I had grown closer... We would see no harm done to one another... He's like a brother to me... I'm inclined to apologize for the others... They are callous and selfish... They deny that we need EACH OTHER because they like to think they are all powerful and invincible.... and Morgan and Alison dislike him simply because he's a man. I had thought Blaze would have a heart... or a conscience... or a mind of her OWN... but it seems I've made a dire err in judgement... for she is NOT who I believed her to be."

Haleigh was disappointed and hurt... but it didn't show in her voice...and Erika might not have known... except that Haleigh turned around to face her... and both emotions were etched in her eyes. But quickly as Erika spoke, her eyes changed, quickly they shined with determination.... If it was one thing Hales could do, that was compartmentalize her emotions to get the job done... she stood watching Erika, obviously impressed, and slightly mesmerized.... it was rare that Haleigh saw sure a pure form of magick and while normally she might have been repulsed by something so 'good'.... she didnt feel that way now. After Erike recited the spell, Haleigh seemed to snap back to reality... and she began to walk around the room, 'scanning' for anything Kelly left behind. Haleigh wasnt tired and even if she DID sleep... she wouldn't have slept with Morgan being the one to 'watch over'.

Haleigh stooped down over a patch of carpet... she'd found a sliver of skin, it seemed. She pulled out a folding Buck knife and slid it under the skin, lifting it and bringing it over to Erika's potion ingredients table, setting it down on a clean plate. "Got it." She said, looking over at Erika. She stopped.... something was happening....Cameron was appearing. Haleigh listened quietly... and then watched him go... Alexis had LEFT? Gone to New York, and left Haleigh to face the Trio of Delusion all alone? Erika spoke, and Haleigh nodded.

"I seem to be getting VERY good at Search and Rescue... so why not?"

 

[Foxfire]

** Blaze listened to her sister's new insight on part of her heritage. She could understand why Morgan was seduced by such dark magick, "power without consequence." It was a nice way for Morgan to exercise her more powerful magick. But Blaze too was restless, she didn't want to be here. Turning away from her sister, Blaze opened the front door, walking outside to sit down on the long stone steps. Pulling out a cigarette she slowly lit it with her own firepower. A tiny spark ignited a miniature flame that flickered in the darkness. Blowing out the flame, Blaze sighed. She felt that sick feeling deep inside her once more, she didn't want to care. She didn't want to even feel, all this team did was drive each other crazy. For Foxfire though, she was fed up with these people arguing, trying to remain neutral. It was time she picked a side, and she did. Heavy silver smoke whirled around her thick shadow, enveloping each other into one. **



** This really took a heavy toll on Blaze. She was the lone wolf of the pack. Each time she thought about Cameron, Haleigh, and Alexis she wanted to lash out at them. Blowing more silver smoke from her lips, she listened to the calming ocean waves not far from the house. Deep down underneath that anger, Blaze knew she couldn't give in. She couldn't throw these people away like a newspaper. What had Cameron done for her except leave? Haleigh did save her life more than once but what about Alexis? She helped battle Black, distracting him. Whether Blaze wanted to admit it, she needed them. Most of all she couldn't allow her soul to drown in anger and rage. This was definitely a struggle for her. But she was through with waiting, things were going to get done and now! **

** Standing up, Blaze dropped her half smoked cigarette, stepping on it. Blowing the last of the smoke away, she quickly walked inside. Her paces were much more faster with longer strides between them. Passing by Morgan who seemed to be impatiently sitting in her new throne. Foxfire climbed the wooden steps, making them crack and moan with age. Once she was to the top, she moved inside of the attic. Her eyes glowing a bright mint green this time. **

"You said we need to stick together....even if I'm not a fan of it and the polar opposites detract. I want to see this mission to the end....I know what its like to lost a family member to darkness, I'm going through it now. And I know I have to put my emotions a side if I'm going to help and not make matters worse. I will help you Erika, I'm just tired of waiting. Your close with Cameron, its your call. I do think maybe Morgan, Alison, and Delilah should return to Illustra searching in their book of Shadows and scrying. And then you, myself, Haleigh can make progress here. The reason I include myself here is....if I'm here, Morgan won't be so easily manipulated to kill you or Haleigh."

** Looking down she placed her hands into her pockets before eyeing Erika. She knew time was running short for Cameron. But she knew Haleigh did....and that was probably the second reason she was doing this. Blaze remained quiet, she seemed a lot less aggressive now, even her eyes leaked human compassion, which weren't there before. **

 

[Pathfinder]

< Erika was suprised but not completely shocked to see Blaze enter the attic. The girl's emotions were as fiery as her personality but she was not stupid. Without taking another thought Erika welcomed her into the fold once more and gave her a warning and update about what was going on. >

"I made contact with Cameron. He is in some kind of lighthouse in the surrounding beaches. However this entire area used to be a public beach but was turned into private residences and now along this entire coast is almost all private. Many lighthouses were abandoned. I don't have much time to talk as my brother has informed me that Alexis returned to New York and that Witchfire is taking her chance to get rid of the power of the Six by destroying her. I need to go to her. You will both come along but I ask that you resist helping her out. I must have total control of the room if I am to fight back my Mother. Let's go. It is best now that we keep Morgan and Alison out of this situation as both will want to take control..."

< The White Witch grabbed both of their hands as they all three dissappeared in a flurry and sparkle of white lights and bright orbs and reappeared in the apartment of Alexis Quartermaine to watch the chaos unfold. The winds were harrowing and strong as blasts of electricity and energy could be seen in the bright purple energy swirl of the dimensional abyss. Alexis was hanging on by her oak bed as Kelly was temporarily knocked over by Shockwave's smart move to knock her away with the dresser. Erika turned to Blaze and Haleigh. >

"Watch my back! I need to have some kind of concentration to pull this off!"

< Erika ran forth as she held out her hands and began to chant under her breath. >

"Dimension of Hellfire close your charcoal Gates! Return to me Shockwave by the power that repels HATE!"

< The once rumbling seemed to be calm as beams of light began to thrust out of the portal. Erika was slightly hovering over the ground as her bright silver eyes and entire body seemed to have somewhat of a soft glow. The abyss soon was dissipated as Alexis was thrown back by the impact of the Spell. She quickly ran over to Alexis as she began to heal any wounds that she may have maintained during her battle. Meanwhile Kelly had managed to cowardly escape as Blaze and Haleigh lifted up the dresser unbenounced to Erika who seemed a little curious as she cradled Alexis in her arms. >

"Is she still here? Did she get away?"
