"Why would you want to reveal the secret? Only try to do that if you have a death wish boy. There's some pretty messed up people around that like things the way they are" John asked.
"We do things the old fashioned way. From the shadows like we always have. I would suggest trying to track the wish makers our investigation mentions. if we find those we got a solid link to the tengu" James said "In the meantime there's also the case of that werewolf from out town. We have to set up the expedition to take care of it"
"Pretty good, Dario. Damn, you learn fast, in a few lesson I feel like I won't have an advantage any more" Gabriel told his parring partner while looking for a bottle of water to refresh himself.

After Mira's last class for the week, the professor was in her office gathering some things before heading out. Her eyes glanced at the clock.
I feel like something's going to happen today, she thought to herself. After all, it's my birthday. I wonder what Elyssa is planning today.
Elyssa was, as expected, hard at work preparing for Mira's surprise. All the while looking at the clock, waiting for the time Mira's classes would end.
"We tried once, but it takes too much time. It's hard to pin down a lone person that's missing for a couple of nights in just one city" John said.
"So, we wait until we got a full moon and the poor bastard cannot control himself. Then we hunt him" James ended.
Gabriel drank almost half of the bottle before answering "Pretty fast.... Maybe I'm just that good a teacher" Gabriel added, joking.
"It is harder dann was es looks "muttered Klaus as he missed yet another bottle. "How will I ever be able zu hit a moving target if Ich can nicht hit one that stand stand still."
Klaus reloaded the crossbow. "OK. One Verdamte try more. It is loaded. Aim carefully... Squease the trigger...
A moment later was a clattering noice heard as one of the bottles shattered. A grin spread across Klaus face.
"Give me some more time and those Ohnes unt Tangos and whatever they are called, are in for one nasty surprise..."

I reject your reality and substitute my own!!!"Sue?" asked John.
"Clement's granddaughter" James answered.
"I see... Invite them if you feel like it, though I doubt they'll be of much use"
Sue yawned as she took a look at the hour on her cellphone "It seems like my disciple is running late... Sincerely, the youth of these days..."
"At least it's a nice, calm day" The witch muttered as she relaxed and waited for Klaus to show up.

"Yes, a wonderful day, isn't it, Sue?" Malfeus spoke from a shadow of a nearby tree. "So wonderful, It'd be good if it was just for us alone." He added, and as if on a cue, nearby people suddenly started to mind their own business, and in compulsive stupor, one by one, were being influenced out of the park.
"Hope you don't mind I...made preparations for us to be left undisturbed." He added, making a veiled reference to the suggestion field his assistant had been preparing to make everyone else but the two feel urged to leave with fabricated reasons.
He had continued practising for about half an hour, with steadily improving results, before he finally put the crossbow back in the bag an headed towards the park where Sue was waiting.
He were in the park looking for Sue, as hesuddenly remembered that he had forgotten a book he had borrowed from Sue the last time. She had not said that she wanted it back today, but...
Klaus lived quite near and it would not take that long to go get that book, five to ten minutes at most...

I reject your reality and substitute my own!!!"Oh, but I've made you quite a big favor. See, you know the vixen that you couldn't stand? Well... damned fox-girl stuck her nose in where she should not." He said, producing a picture, which depicted said girl chained to a wall in a battered state, and waved it in front of the witch's nose. "It was...refreshing and fun." He said, while tossing the picture with scorn.
"I am going to be even more sincere with you, my dear witch of my heart." He added, as he stood in front of hers, a sadistic smile that would put a serial killer to shame. "I've always been like that, and you would not care. Brutally cold. And now, I am going to enjoy being a cold hearted fiend. You are a future threat, and I'm here to nip the bud, so prepare yourself, witchling.!!!"
He raised his hands.

Sue instead lifted her knee, right into his crotch. He was good at intimidating she had to give him that. But he could have done it just as well from a distance, considering the difference of power between them.
The witch girl didn't even bother to check how much damage she inflicted before turning her back to him, jump over the bench and starting to run away into the trees of the park leaving her stuff behind.
As she ran Sue dug into her pocket to grab her cellphone to call a certain late apprentice.

"Ugh...little shit..." Malfeus bent comically to his knees, as he felt the pain running through his body."Playing dirty..." His eyes were almost out of his sockets as he managed to compose himself together.
Worst of all, the amused laughter of that brazen infernal fiend was echoing through the telepathic link.
Not a goddamn word about it.If you're finished with the barrier, get her!
A shadow swooped over the fleeing girl, as clawed hands tackled Sue's shoulders, while a long, whip-like tail knocked the phone out of her hands with a precise strike. The offender, a creature of sin and lust from the nine hells. A succubus. Which was sporting quite an amusing grin, mirroring that of his master. Maybe mirroring it a little to much, since the facial structures of demon and infernalist bore a uncanny resemblance. Unlike most succubi, she wasn't dressed in skimpy clothes, but rather biker garbs, sans the jacket and a modified shirt to give space for the wings.
"Hurting my little Malphy in his special fun part. You've got no shame girl..." She chimed. "Want to join our ranks?" She added, with a catty smile.
"Pleased to meet you, Mrs Whetstone" Sue said, her voice filled with sarcasm, from the ground on which she had fallen, turning around to face the demon "Truly it is a shame that we meet under these circumstances"
The circumstances being that I don't have any holy water, an exorcist, a binding circle and a cat teaser at hand The girl thought.
"As for your offer, I'll have to politely decline. My mom wouldn't want me to hang around such company. Besides, I don't like plans that are doomed to fail. They leave a stain in my record if you know what I mean"
"Ah yes, your mother, the useless house cleaner type. I've played that game a lot too. Her pies were good." She said, advancing towards hers. "Doomed to fail? Malphy is a real wretch and a monster of neglected care and bile self-loathing thanks to me. After the six altars are done, he'll either ascend or fail. In any case, it'a a win win!" She cheered. "I don't mind if I have to be the slave of that monster forever should he suceed, and I'll get rid of one of my life mistakes should he suceed."
"Enough chatter!" Malfeus had managed to catch up, despite the obvious pain, as he used the demon's bindings to send a painful corrective to her own mother, which sported a wicked pleasure face, much to his chagrin. "Seize her, damned infernal hussy! Don't explain the plan!"
The demon leapt over Sue, and she cattempted to catch her by the arms.

Six altars, ascend, monster...
As Sue was grabbed by the arms by the infernal demon she drove her forehead, hard, against the succubus' nose. Doing that her glasses broke by the impact, shard cutting Sue right under the eye and her forehead. With some luck she also managed to hurt the demon a little.
To ascend... use his demonic heritage... To rise in power demons require souls... Then the altars...
Sue gave out a bitter laugh "So that's your plan... you cannot even get the power you crave by your own means, so you plan to steal the souls of the people living in Volwick!"
"Brilliant, Malfeus. You only need to set up some lame altars at key points in the city and you'll manage to get all the wretched power you couldn't get by yourself"
And as Sue continued to talk her discarded phone lay on the ground besides her... so that Klaus could hear all of that.
"...As expected of you, you are a threat." Malfeus somberly nodded, as he obliterated the cellphone in tiny pieces. Whetstone the succubus seemed to relish in the pain, her grin rather wide as she struggled with Sue.
"And thanks to you, damn infernal bitch, they now know of the plan. There will be words. We'll be taking her as hostage, tho." He pinched his nosebridge.
"Sowwy, Malfy" She said in a outright mocking tone. He advanced towards them, and touching one of his handcuffs, touched both aswell, teleporting the trio away.
Now, a race starts. Malfeus thought. Seven days remaining.

"Haha, could be." Finishing the rest of his water, he found a towel and wiped off the beads of sweat on his face. "So, do we have any plans for the near future? Training like this is good and all but there has to be more to this world than just this. I mean, when I first met you, you seemed rather concerned about stuff."
Alejandro had returned from the maternal residence, carrying with him a black, hardbound tome. Securing his items and his residence, he settled in, with his alarm clock set for early morning. Really early morning.
The Southpaw has no brakes!He were barely out of the park as the theme of The Lord of The Rings informed Klaus that someone was on the phone. Klaus picked it up and checked who it was. It was Sue.
"Servus Sue. Sorry Ich bin spät, but I had to get a thing I... Hey, Was ist going on there?"
He froze. Something was definately wrong. It sounded like Sue was attacked. He ran as fast as he could into the park, ear glued to the mobile. Ignoring the increasingly stronger urge to go back home and get the book. The conversation between Sue an the others was suddenly cut of with a sharp crack.
A crack that came not from not that far away... Klaus moved carefully forward. He heard people talking, and after a few moments, saw them. Sue, as well as a really hot woman with wings and a tail (apperantely Mrs Wethstone) and a black-haired man in a suit (that Malfeus guy).He did not hear everything, only every other word.
He were just about to pick up the crossbow as Sue and the others dissapeared into thin air. The feeling he should go get the book dissapeared as well...
"I'll besser call Gabe."
"Servus Gabe, bad news" said Klaus as Gabe answered, "Sue Ist Kidnaped..."
I reject your reality and substitute my own!!!

Dario was having another training session with Gabe. He had gotten a feel for his new sword and was managing to keep up quite well. "What do you think of my progress Gabe?"
