[i]Oh, fuck me. Now she's going to think I'm some killer.[/i] Lyss immediately leaned back in her seat and felt the edges of her cheeks burn with embarrassment. [i]Join a Coven, they said! Totally won't lead to murdering any being, supernatural or not! Completely stupid of you to even think of it.[/i] She gripped the edges of the stool. [i]If only the boys could see you now. You were once a power to reckon with. Now you're looking like a fool in front of a group like this??[/i] The Chimera Girl's comment set her off. She rolled her eyes, and was just about to say some real shit to her before Maya got to it first. Lyss raised her eyebrows, but she wasn't shocked that Maya would say something like that. Even without using her abstraction, her words could cut through air. [i]Thank satan that someone else has some balls around here.[/i] She heard Claudette sigh and immediately looked her way. The girl hadn't said much during the meeting, but when she raised her hand, she meant [i]business[/i]. Business as in, filling the entire room in darkness. While the others acted as if it hadn't happened before, Lyss just busied herself with figuring out who she thought had yelped or nearly knocked themselves over. [i]Nina. Definitely Nina. Did Izumi squeak, too?[/i] She huffed into the darkness in a show of irritation. How much longer would the sit in the dark before Kayla could answer them? Not soon enough, the lights returned to the room. Lyss blinked as her eyes adjusted again. The silence was appreciated. She looked to Kayla, and waited for her to- Yep. She definitely just meant to rough up the goons. Some kind of pimp way to show the junkies that she was the [b]ONLY[/b] source they could buy from. Lyss was actually happy to hear her say that they were just going to scare them. Kayla was dead serious, and Lyss was grateful that she wasn't going to mess around like the others would. So, they were going to tango with them, huh? Lyss had done her fair share of dancing before. It wasn't easy to move through the black market without a tough spine. Even hunting apparitions had its dangers. Kiesha's owner spouted out some more cocky words and Lyss furrowed her brows. [i]Why the fuck does she keep mentioning her chimera?[i] Why even send the poor creature away? If she loved the chimera so much, why not keep her around? Y'know, train her not to throw slot machines every time she gets spooked. Usual summoner's responsibilities. [i]My grandma would have never allowed that kind of behaviour.[/i] So, the beatdown was going to happen in a place called Greenwood. (Which was a suitable name for a pothead's trailer park.) Two hours from now and bring a mask. Lyss watched Kayla peace out, Oleander in tow. She glanced around at the group. Just to see who was going to [i]actually[/i] go now that Kayla was gone. She still wasn't sure herself, but it did sound like a fun way to relieve some stress. Elise was in. She was definitely an asset. Jessica was in too, complete with a soccer mom attitude. AND she was carpooling! How lovely. Maya was in. She could really do some damage. Herik was in, and Lyss was definitely sure that with [i]those[/i] muscles he could take on the entire den. Well, with just these girls (and one male friend) on the list, it sounded like it would be a successful showdown. Off to the side, and long forgotten, Lyss heard Agatha's meek voice. She turned her head to see her packing up her things, and almost felt bad for the leader. [b]"Just give up,"[/b] Emily said in [i]such[/i] a totally bitchy voice. The hair flick made it even worse. Lyss narrowed her eyes at the girl. [color=D3D3D3]"Excuse me, Emily. What decade are we in? This isn't a clip from Mean Girls."[/color] She stood up, entirely fed up with this meeting and these witchy bitches. [color=D3D3D3]"You're definitely no Regina George, either."[/color] She walked over to Agatha and rest her hand on the woman's shoulder. [color=D3D3D3]"Let's get together tomorrow to talk about these murders. Unlike the rest of the group, I have a feeling that this has to do with the supernatural."[/color] She sighed. [color=D3D3D3]"The police definitely aren't going to be able to do anything about it."[/color] She gave the woman a nod before walking herself out of the door. [hr] Greenwood fucking Florida. What a complete shithole. It looked like the perfect place for some vamps to bunker down and get higher than the empire state building. She could even smell the weed drifting from the homes. [i]Well, at least Mary J. will slow them down enough.[/i] Lyss was in absolutely no hurry to show up, but it looked like she'd gotten there before Kayla. She casually walked up to Claudette and Madison and gave the girls a nod. [color=D3D3D3]"Ready to knock some pointy teeth out?"[/color] She asked, swinging around a black aluminum baseball bat. The girls would have seen her grin if she wasn't wearing a black mask that covered the lower half of her face.
