It had been a long day.

Customers at the restaurant had been assholes. The Council wouldn't grant Salem permission to send a search party after Aliira. She had been in the main atrium pleading with them for hours now, but no one would listen. Twenty Council members - and none of them could see reason. She sat on the marble floor now, the sound of conversation around her nothing but a murmur as she was lost in her own thoughts. Everything in the room was [i]perfect[/i]. The smooth marble floors, the magnificently rounded walls, and the calculated space between each of the chairs. The way that there seemed to be a perfect balance between the whites, golds, and subtle hints of grays. It was easily one of the most beautiful rooms in all of headquarters, but it had lost all of it's warmth. Aliira was the warmth, and she was lost now.

The sudden blaring of her ring tone broke her from her thoughts as the Councils eyes shifted upon her. Salem pulled her phone from her pocket as she answered the call from an unknown number. As was a key rule for any Council meeting, Salem put the call on speaker just as a familiar voice came through - Aliiras voice. Something made her scream. Just as Salem was about to speak, one of the Council members - Kristoph Morgan - waved his hand and silenced her. He was the only one with the power to silence the people and things around him. Salem wanted to be there for Aliira as much as she could. She wanted to say something, ask her what was wrong. Kristoph had taken that from her, and for that Salem glared daggers at him. 

Another familiar voice came through the speaker. The room was silent except for the mans voice. A voice that took Salem a moment to recognize, but once she did a blinding rage came through. Salem paced the room, listening to Aloysius talk. The fact that she could't do or say anything only added to her range. She wouldn't notice how hard she was gripping the phone until the gunshot rang out, the phone exploding in her hand. A collective gasp went around the room as the pieces of the device fell to the floor. With a flick of Kristoph hand, Salem was able to speak again. 

[color=6ecff6][i]"Look what you did,"[/i][/color] she growled. [color=6ecff6][i]"Look what you [b]all[/b] did."[/i][/color]

She ran her hands through her hair to try to keep them from shaking, angry tears beginning to roll down her face. Aliira was her best friend. The person who could calm the storm raging inside of her. The person she went to for everything. Aloysius had taken her from Salem, and the Council had done nothing to help. 

[color=6ecff6]"I told you,"[/color] she took a shaky breath, her throat dry as she licked her lips. [color=6ecff6]"I tried to tell each and every one of you that [i]he[/i] had her and you all just though that I was going [i]mad![/i] I know things! You trust me! I have proven myself and I am your Leader! Yet you stand by and you laugh when I tell you that one of our own needs saving."[/color] She shoved her hands in her pockets. [color=6ecff6]"You laughed at me,"[/color] she mumbled, taking turns looking at each of them. The static electricity in the room had reached a extremely high level. 

[color=c4df9b]"Now there's not need to get upset --"[/color]

[color=6ecff6][i]"No need to get upset![/i] He just shot and killed her, Alison, and you want me to be calm?!"[/color] On her last few words, the marble column five feet to her right shattered, the source of the destruction coming from her hands. The electricity gathered in her palms, a faint blue glow surrounding her body. 

[color=c4df9b]"I-if... If we could just all calm down..."[/color]

Two of the other marble columns collapsed as the glass ceiling above the room shattered, the electricity disappearing from Salem's hands as the night sky lit up above her. She turned to walk out of the room, the Council shouting at her to come back. Salem wouldn't do as told. She needed to be alone for the moment, and secluding herself was exactly what she planned to do.
