[b]Time:[/b] 3.00PM.[hr][hr] After a whirlwind of a morning, Aloysius was hoping to have a nice relaxing afternoon. He wanted to try and recompose his mind after the events of last night. The loss of Ty was still pulling at his heartstrings, and his little heart to heart this morning hadn’t really done much to console him. Sitting in his office he turned on the news to see if there was any coverage of the train wreck. Nothing like taking the time to admire your own work to distract you from the horrors of life. It was at this point that he discovered that that entire story had fell of the other end of the news, mainly due to the large scale murders that had gone on around the city. Of course anyone could have murdered loads of people. Everyone had it in them, even Aliira. But these killings… no.. the wrieked of one person and one person only. His suspicions were only confirmed when the name ‘DS Killer’ came up. Aloysius let out a sigh and rubbed his temples in frustration. Just what he needed right now. Circe was a loose cannon. It didn’t matter what you told her, she always went and seemed to do her own thing. Aloysius only wanted some control terror, just enough to keep the Guild on edge, however last night changed everything. Aloysius was starting to question if The Guild were the true enemy, now Rebecca was back. He would pick up his phone and dial Circe. As soon as she answered, he didn’t say hello or even give her a chance to speak. [color=9e0039]“My Office, Now!”[/color] He spat out before hanging up and then proceeding to slam his phone down onto the desk, thankfully preserving the screen in the process. Circe had really gone and done it this time. He usually forgave her desires due to the raw amount of damage she could deal, but right now. With everything else going on… She was starting to become more of a liability. So now he wanted patiently for Circe to arrive, making sure that he held onto the anger. He wanted to make sure that Circe had got what she had coming. As time dragged on, Aloysius only got more and more frustrated. Where the hell was she? Circe awoke a tad on the late side, he side throbbing where the stupid shifter cut her last night. She stood up and stretched as far as her injury would allow her to. Before she could even take a step her phone ring, the name Mommy Aly appeared on the i.d. No sooner had she picked it up, had his voice shouted at her to get to the base and hung up. [color=f49ac2]”Well that was just rude, don't you agree baby?? Oh well, shower time, excuse me, pardon me, thanks for having me. Dinner was a little over cooked though, hehehehe.”[/color] She said to the lifeless married couple on the floor. She skipped through the city humming to herself, the shifters coat was cleaned and open on her small frame. She stopped at a candy store, with a giant polar bear mascot trying to pull customers in. Soon she found herself outside the base, with her nut filled Snickers bars. She took a mouthful as she stepped inside and walked straight to Alys office. And made a chair appear out of nowhere. [color=f49ac2]”Hey dad, hehehe. How did we do last night?? Lots of chaos, just like you asked, although baby was boring and didn't help as usual.”[/color] She shot a pointed look at her shadow on the ground. [color=9e0039]“I DIDN'T MEAN MASS BLOODY MURDER!”[/color] Aloysius shouted, anger apparent in his voice. [color=9e0039]“I wanted something that would send a message to the Guild quietly. But NO. FUCKING NO”[/color] Aloysius raised his hands to help emphasise his anger. [color=9e0039]“YOU, YOU had to go one step too far again”[/color] He would smash his hand across his desk, knocking his stationary holder against the wall. [color=9e0039]“What am I supposed to do with you Circe?”[/color] Aloysius sighed, some of his anger now out in the air. Circe watched with mock surprise on her face as Aly went off the handle on her, again. She unwrapped another nut filled candy bar and chomped down. She looked at the mess on the floor and back at a flustered boss. [color=f49ac2]”So let me get this straight. You derailed an entire train, killing… I forget how many bugs. Proceed to turn around and tell me, who even I know am completely out to pasture, to cause mayhem. And you expected an different result. Hehehehe, now Aly who looks like the crazy one?? I killed a hundred pathetic, weak, miserable humans. The number would of been higher if that stupid Guildling didn't get in our way. But we made sure to take care of that didn't we baby, hehehehe. Now apologize to her, you made her upset, Aly.!!”[/color] [color=9e0039]“There was like… 5 people tops on that train. There is a HUGE difference between five and hundreds. HANG ON!”[/color] He stopped [color=9e0039]“You killed a Guilder? You did what!?”[/color] He put his hands on his head [color=9e0039]“Circe...what is the procedure when you meet a Guilder?”[/color] He took a deep breath. Circe had only gone and made things worse. [color=9e0039]“Damn you are a bitch sometimes Circe”[/color] [color=f49ac2]”[I]Your[/I] procedure is to tuck tail and hide. But she tried to stop our fun. Hehehe, besides any shifter that weak had it coming, she was almost as pathetic as a human. I think I did the guild a favor by taking her out. Plus, on the bright side… I got a new jacket!! Hehehehehe.”[/color] [color=9e0039]“Circe… if we killer Guilders, Salem takes more notice of us. The last time she took notice of us, she almost wiped us out”[/color] Aloysius let out a sigh and sat down [color=9e0039]“Besides, things have changed… Ty was killed last night.”[/color] He looked down. Holding onto the crystal hanging from his neck. [color=9e0039]“Rebecca is back…”[/color] he said in a low voice, only just realising that Circe wouldn't know who she was [color=9e0039]“Rebecca…. Was a former DS member. Who was actually a mole, who I thought was murdered. Clearly not the case”[/color] [color=f49ac2]”Good let the all mighty Thor get her panties all twisted. I want to kill her most of all!!”[/color] It was now Circes turn to stop in her tracks, the rest of her Snickers forgotten in her hand. [color=f49ac2]”Someone killed Ty?![/color] She stood up in a rush, her shadow chair exploded as she crawled over the desk separating her and Aly. She grabbed him by the collar. [color=f49ac2]”Ty was the only one of you lot that made this place fun, and YOU let him die?!”[/color] Circe stood up, black flames dancing in her eyes as she shoved Aloysius back to his chair. She walked around the room, arms holding her stomach. She muttered to herself, trying to process this information. [color=f49ac2]”How could you?! He was mine to kill, he was suppose to be the last one of the world left that I killed. I promised him that much. And you took him, got him killed!! Now I see why Salem hates you!!”[/color] Her words coming out like venom as she tried to shift through the things swirling inside her. She had no clue what they were, but she knew she didn't like it. [color=f49ac2]”There is nothing you can say or do to me anymore. I am going to kill this Rebecca, slowly and painfully, than I am going to kill that preppy slut Salem, and than Aloysius, I am going to sink my darkness into your soul.”[/color] Circe walked out the office, a gust of darkness slamming the door behind it, splitting it down the middle. [color=9e0039]“I would have saved him if I could. Ok… I would have saved him… if I could”[/color] Aloysius sounded upset but only snarled at Circe as she grabbed him by the collar. No one spoke to him like that. She was his subordinate, not his superior. Before he could say anything though, Circe had stormed out, slamming the door and cutting it two in the process. Aloysius buried his face into his hands for a second letting out another hefty sigh. After a few deep breaths of composure, Aloysius picked up the phone and pressed a quick dial button. [color=9e0039]“Yeah, It's Al. Look can you do me a favour. When you come to pick up the car, can you bring me a door please. Preferably oak? Yeah… Thanks”[/color] putting the phone down he eyed his mobile. Picking it up he flicked through his contacts until he reached a contact named 'SdS’ opening up his texts, he stared at the screen, the last message was sent was almost 7 years ago. Did he really wanna do this? He began to type into the phone: [i]“We need to talk. Preferably somewhere private… tonight? Rebecca isn't our only issue now"[/i] Sent.
