[hr]

Lyss did her best to listen to Agatha, but the moment the articles were spread across the table Agatha faded into the background. Lyss managed to pull one of them to before the others could. Her eyes darted across the page as she read over the details and her eyebrow rose. She'd heard of deaths similar to this, but three of the same deaths in one week? Either this thing moved quickly, or there were multiple creatures in New Port.

Babylon's presence grew stronger and Lyss lifted her eyes from the article to stare at the apparition. This time her eyebrows furrowed, and her lips parted as if she wanted to speak. If these deaths had anything to do with apparitions, Lyss knew that she would be able to stop any further murders. Something about these deaths felt more like a werewolf or other flesh eating monster attack instead of the work of an apparition. Even so, it seemed like Babylon wasn't filling them in on all of her knowledge. Perhaps a little poking later when she could get Emily alone would get the rest out of her.

Lyss was certainly interested in these deaths. Was she capable of stopping a creature like this, if it wasn't an apparition? She certainly wouldn't be able to do it alone. Madison spoke up, and while Lyss thought she just stated the obvious, the Mystery Inc. reference brought a small smirk to her lips. She looked over at Agatha and raised her eyebrows. [color=D3D3D3]"Madison has a point. We can't do anything about it unless we do it from the shadows."[/color]

Kayla even stated the same thing. Lyss turned her attention towards the other witch as she stood and expected some grand speech about staying out of the government's way. She was severely disappointed, and expressed it with a puff of air from her nose. She set the article flat on the table. A serial killer? She sounded like a Blind. These were obviously caused by something supernatural. The real question here was whether any of the girls in the Coven could handle if they found out exactly [i]what[/i] was feeding so openly. At least Riley agreed. 

Lyss was just about to speak her mind. She even took in a deep breath so that her words would come out clearly, but then Kayla continued with a different topic. Lyss pressed her lips together, but listened to Kayla with genuine interest. She sounded different than usual. Was this... Was this the tone Kayla used when she asked for help? Kayla, the ultimate badass, was asking for help?

Well... she had a good reason to. At first it was odd that Kayla would put her pup on show like that, but as Lyss saw the bruising on Oleander's skin she felt a hot wave of rage pass through her. [i]Who the [b]fuck[/b] hits a dog?[/i] She pressed her lips together and she wished that she was close enough to Oleander to give the good boy a scratch behind his ear.

Lyss looked up at Kayla. It would be extremely evident that Lyss was totally, 100% down to rough up some animal abusing hick motherfuckers by the look on her face. It wasn't much different from her usual blank face, but her lips were a flat line. Her eyebrows were furrowed ever so slightly, and her jaw was sharper than usual as she clenched her teeth. What if they'd gotten to Kayla too? She hadn't known the girl for long, or any of the Coven members, but Lyss already felt an odd protective instinct kick in whenever they were threatened. It reminded her of her last little group of misfits, even though they probably hated her guts now.

[b]"And one last thing... [i]They're vampires.[/i][/b]"

[i]Oh my satan.[/i]

Vampires fell for dog shit covered weed? Lyss laughed. Her hand came up to cover her mouth, just so that it wouldn't completely fill the room. It was a completely inappropriate time to laugh, but she couldn't help it. [color=D3D3D3]" So you're telling me, they didn't even smell the shit? I wouldn't have even fallen for that.[/color] Kayla must have found a vampire den with the combined IQ of a toddler.

Lyss then cleared her throat,and took a deep breath in case any other giggles wanted to squirm their way out. She was glad that the other girls were speaking over her laughter. [i]This isn't the time for laughs. They hurt her dog, for satan's sake.[/i] Madison and Claudette were in. So were Jessica and Elise. It was surprising that Madison and Elise had agreed. Especially after Madison made a Scooby Doo reference about snooping around crime scenes. [i]Seriously, didn't the Mystery Gang fight some "vampires" too?[/i] At least as quiet as Elise acted, she could act as the getaway driver if things went south. Even Riley could add some [i]shock[/i] to the beatdown. Lyss was beginning to think that this group might actually get the job done, but she was still unsure about her own role in the fight. [color=D3D3D3]"Look, I'm fully invested in helping you, Kayla. I can't believe what they did to Oleander, and he's so strong for protecting you like that with only a few bruises to show for it, but..."[/color] She paused, and raised her hands up from the table where they rested moments ago. [color=D3D3D3]"I've heard about how to kill a vamp, but I've never really... [i]done[/i] it."[/color] She bit her lip and raised her brows. She looked apologetic.

She'd seen plenty of severed vamp heads in the black market. Plenty of advanced or rare [b]"VAMPIRE KILLING KITS"[/b]. There were even many vampire gangs that ran parts of the market. It was pretty obvious not to buy the kits when they were around. If Lyss ever saw one walking her way, she'd hand the table over to one of her partners and step away. She'd never liked them. Just the energy that they emanated was eerie and just downright [i]creepy.[/i] How the hell was she going to fight one off?

[color=D3D3D3]"I can't guarantee I can do anything but act as a decoy, but I'm not sure I can stake a vamp if I have to."[/color]
