Eternal battles leave eternal scars

[YellowJedi]

Damien just nodded, getting up and walking outside.

 

[tamaturtle]

Nicola waited for a few moments before diving at Jessica, slamming her into the wall and keeping her there by grabbing hold of her hair, yanking it to the side. "You shouldn't have bothered coming back."

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien heard a struggle, but didn't get involved.

 

[tamaturtle]

Jessica yelled out and tried to kick Nicola away. But then Nicola moved away, letting go of Jessica's hair but keeping her pinned to the wall. "Actually... I think we'll use you to train dear Damien up again. Get him over you." She raised her voice. "Damien?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"Yes?" Damien responded.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Can you take Jessica down to the basement please?" Nicola asked sweetly. "It should be open, but don't leave it like that."

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien frowned. "Uh...yeah..." He said, taking Jessica's hand and bringing her down to the basement. When they got down, he wrapped his arms around her. "I"m so happy you're alright..."

 

[tamaturtle]

Much like the other times, Jessica pushed Damien away, stepping backwards. "Well, that's good to know, uh... Damien. Are you going to ock me in now?"

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien frowned as he got pushed away, not saying anything.

Lucien walked in. "Where's Damien?"

 

[tamaturtle]

Jessica stood and glared at Damien for a few moments before sighing. "Look, while you're here, do you have any idea why I woke up on that really creepy alter?"

"Locking Jessica in the basement."

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien looked down. "I tried to bring you back to life, but failed. I don't know how you're alive." he admitted.

"Isn't she dead?" Lucien asked, trying to not crack a smile.

 

[tamaturtle]

"All I can remember is waking up on that thing with the other vampire guy looming over me."

"I decided to keep her alive for now to sort out Damien." Nicola explained.

 

[YellowJedi]

Lucien nodded. "Hm, good idea." he said, sitting next to Nicola.

Damien nodded, confused at how it happened. He walked away and locked the door.

 

[tamaturtle]

Jessica watched Damien go before sighing and sitting down on the floor. She had a quick check over of herself: she seemed to be okay, save for a few scars (from the werewolf attack, but of course she didn't know that.) and something that felt like a bite on her neck.

"Knew you'd agree." Nicola said, picking up her drink again. "So where did you run off to?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"No where special, I just needed to get out." Lucien lied. "Destroyed almost a whole county, I was surprised how easy it was."

 

[tamaturtle]

"I see someone's getting into the swing of things." Nicola laughed, patting Lucian on the shoulder and grinning. "Miss your hunter friends?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"One or two of them I miss, but not all of them." Lucien admitted.

 

[tamaturtle]

Nicola nodded, frowning. "Interesting... and would you happen to know where they are?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"No, can't say I do..." Lucien admitted.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Shame." Nicola remained silent, before suddenly asking "How's your fighting, Lucian?"
