Jax turned away from Tarax to see Morthos basically topless. Her eyes bulged slightly for a few seconds before she turned to the left rubbing her eyes, “[color=8dc73f]Oh...gosh...Morthos...Thanks. Same couldn’t have been said about your shirt.[/color]” 

‘[color=8dc73f][i]How the hell am I going to concentrate with that in my face! Pull it together girl! You have a demon to deal with.[/i][/color]’

Jax smiled at Morthos before turning to Tarax, who stood upon his heels to expose his full height to Morthos and the group, “[color=8dc73f]Watch the cave entrance. If anyone tries to enter apart from my group. Destroy them.[/color]”

The demon smiled down at her wickedly, “[color=f26522]You didn’t say, please. You are asking me to kill my brothers you know![/color]”

Jax gave an evil smirk, “[color=8dc73f]I know![/color]” 

She moved back to Morthos and the group,  “[color=8dc73f]I don’t know what is going to happen when we go in there, but that demon is powerful. He is going to do whatever he can to separate us and to take me out. Now I am not saying that to be cocky or to pump myself up. I can defeat him but it’s going to take time and I need all of you to do what you can to make sure I am not disturbed when I start my incantations. If my concentration is broken, then the exorcism will not work. So stay tight and...good luck. Morthos? Want to create some light.[/color]”

As Morthos headed in first Jax followed, the darkness surrounding them like a cocoon, whilst a deep coldness moved over her spine. She took in a breath and pulled off her rosary wrapping it around her hand as she began to whisper slowly soft prayers that only she could hear. With her other hand she gripped Morthos’ and guided him through the different tunnels. As they walked hints of dark hulking shapes and slithering motions moved passed them. Some of the men gulped, sweat falling off of their brows as they moved forward. Suddenly they reached an area with no walls. The room was large and spacious and the sound of running water could be heard from somewhere within the channels. Jax stopped and let go of Morthos taking a few steps away from him, “[color=8dc73f]He’s here. But I can’t…[/color]”

Suddenly one of the men let out a scream, his body pulled away into the darkness. Moments later the horrific sounds of ripping came after. Jax was about to move towards the noise when suddenly another guy was taken. Her eyes widened and she turned to Morthos about to speak when suddenly she felt something curl around her legs. She was yanked back into the darkness a scream escaping her lips, as she was slammed into the ground, her head bouncing off the cave floor as she was pulled further into the dark. She reached out clawing for anything to save her when suddenly she felt a hand and she gripped it, pulling her leg away from the dark to see Morthos' face in front of her. She let out a breath, looking up at him in thanks, “[color=8dc73f]Thanks...I need to start the incantation. Stay close...okay.[/color]” 

Morthos gave a warm smile, “[color=ed1c24]Of course. Whatever you need.[/color]”

She nodded then pulled out her scythe, moving it against the ground in the shape of a pentagram, before she pulled out a small knife. She held it up to her hands cutting through the freshly burned flesh when Morthos spoke up, “[color=ed1c24]I hate when you do that.[/color]”

Jax grit her teeth then clenched her fist, letting the blood drip around the edges of the circle, just before she finished Morthos hopped inside before she completed it. More screams echoed from the darkness and Jax prayed that Yam and the others were alright, “[color=8dc73f]I know...but it’s necessary. The demon can’t cross holy blood.[/color]” 

She released some energy into her pentagram covered hand so that the wound would heal. Morthos stared at her quietly, “[color=ed1c24]Have you done this before?[/color]”

Jax turned to him and shrugged, “[color=8dc73f]Only a few times. Never this big...I told you that idiot.[/color]” 

He smirked, “[color=ed1c24]Yeah...sorry. I’m flustered.[/color]” 

She patted his shoulder, “[color=8dc73f]I know..Your mom and everything.[/color]”

He looked at her quietly, “[color=ed1c24]Yeah...her...and you.[/color]”

A scream erupted through the darkness and Jinx wrapping her rosary around her hand before she spoke quickly, “[color=8dc73f]Me? Morthos what are you talking about.[/color]” 

He came over and held her hands, making her look up at him, “[color=ed1c24]About us. You don’t think I see how you look at me...or the way you treat Melody.[/color]”

Jax shook her head, “[color=8dc73f]Morthos...I don’t think this is the best time for that…[/color]”

He held her hands firmer, “[color=ed1c24]We could die any minute...do you want to go without being honest? I don’t.[/color]”

Jax breathed evenly, “[color=8dc73f]I can’t Morthos. We can’t. I care about you but we cannot be together![/color]”

Morthos started to get frustrated, “[color=ed1c24]WHY![/color]”

Jax pulled her hands away, “[color=8dc73f]Because it’s...because you aren’t strong enough.[/color]” 

Morthos swore, “[color=ed1c24]I am not the one who isn’t strong enough. You are just a coward![/color]”

Jax shrunk back, “[color=8dc73f]Can’t you see I am trying to protect you! I will leave you![/color]”

He leaned forward getting in her face, “[color=ed1c24]You won’t leave me. You just don’t want me to be stronger than you. Like your sister. You know she could kill you with the twitch of her wrist and so could Roxas.[/color]” 

Jax started, “[color=8dc73f]That’s...not...That’s not true![/color]”

Morthos smiled, “[color=ed1c24]In fact you want to get real fucking honest, you are the weakest out of all of us. You have to depend on these evil entities to fight your battles for you. You yourself are nothing but a weak human who pushes everyone away and who no one loves. Not even me.[/color]” 

Jax shook violently a tear falling down her cheek, “[color=8dc73f]Wh..Why are you saying this?[/color]”

Morthos gripped both of her cheeks pulling her face close to his, “[color=ed1c24]It’s the truth. You are never going to be the greatest member of SPA because...you aren’t good enough.[/color]”

Jax looked up at him with wide eyes, her emotions flying off the handle, as she began to shake, “[color=8dc73f]I’m not good enough...I’m not…[/color]”

Morthos cut her off, “[color=ed1c24]Good enough….Now I…[/color]”

Suddenly Jax spoke up her voice strong and booming, “[color=8dc73f]You’re wrong. I am good enough. I am strong. I am powerful. I am appreciated...and over everything, I am loved, and I love them too![/color]” 

She took a step away from him as the pentagram began to slowly light up around her, a soft wind lifting up her hair and swirling it around her face, as a warm smile lifted up the corner of her mouth, “[color=8dc73f]Even you….Now...[b]adolebitque![/b][/color]”

Suddenly a ray of green light shot up and Morthos let out a horrendous squeal, his skin beginning to fester and burn as he shrieked loudly for Jax to stop. Jax slammed her hands together, the rosary weaving between her fingers as she fell to her knees. She shut her eyes tightly shut and began to incite her magic, “[color=8dc73f]Et ambulare in medio umbrae mortis, lux sum. In semita ex duabus animabus. Via per extrema speculo. Audi me, et da mihi fortitudinem orationes ad hoc Beath daemonium.[/color]”

Morthos suddenly began to twist and change into a large overbearing demon with pure white skin with purple veins running just beneath the surface. His teeth were sharp like needles and his deep purplish black eyes stared out from the darkness. His hands extended into sharp claws and his feet began to crack and splinter into the shape of talons. Jax remained in her praying stance her words filling the room when the demon lifted up a claw in a rage preparing to finish off Jax with a large claw. Jax split her incantation for a second screaming at the top of her lungs for help, “[color=8dc73f]MORTHOS!!!!!!!!![/color]”
