[FuriePhoenix]

If John was saying that he didn't think it was a threat coming their way but people in need of help, Chas was going to believe it, even though he had no idea how people would even know how to find this place. He found himself then look at Serena as she sat up slowly, keeping the feather on her chest. The idea that people had managed to find the place and were in of Kay's help was utterly mind blowing to him.

Kay didn't know how to take the news that they were all there for her, in need of an end of their suffering when she barely knew how to control her powers herself. She stayed with John but did look up at the window and was completely shocked at how many peoplewere coming toward the mill house. "I don't know if I can help them.." she muttered, she felt helpless as it was with helping John. "Okay I will" she then replied to Serena, letting Chas go and help Serena up and outside the house. Chas did indeed go and help Serena up from the couch and lead her outside where he saw the sheer amount of people coming toward them. "Serena, we're gonna have to keep them away from the house, but close enough that if we need to get Kay away and back inside we can. If they get too close they could come into contact with wardings John has on the house" he explained, "so I think over by the tree lines there opposite the house would be the best spot" he suggested.

Back in the house Kay stayed with John, keeping an eye on him, hoping he would be able to find this pain passing soon. "John how am I meant to help that many people? I'm not a healer..." she said, her tone making it clear she was unsure that she could help anyone.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena waved her hand and shadows moved and blocked people, leading them where Chas said to be. She frowned and muttered “this isn’t random…they were sent here. I sense a lot of demon energy around them. Like they are infected. I should take a look first before Kay comes out…” she took a few steps and had to stop, getting light headed. “We need…to ask them what is…wrong…”

John smiled weakly and took her hand. “You can help them…I know you can in your own way…” he looked worn now as he tried to get up and said “let’s go take a look…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas didn't like what he was hearing. Demon infections were never a good thing and considering they were the main beings wanting Kay, he wasn't so sure he wanted the woman to be out here. But for now he was going to trust Serena and her decision making. "right" he replied, he remained close by Serena as he saw her getting light headed again, "and we will, come on" he said, walking to where they needed to be and let Serena sit on a pile of wood planks. He then looked at the people as they reached them, "why are you all here?" he asked them all.

Kay really didn't believe she could help, she wasn't some healer sent from God, or anything else. To her, she was just her. She held his hand back and although she fully believe him, she nodded at his words anyway. "you sure you can make it out there? You look beat John" she told him, but helped him up anyway. Truth was, she was nervous about going out there, but she also didn't like the idea of Chas and Serena being out there alone when Serena was weak herself.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John smiled and said “we will just go to the window and see what’s going on…” he moved over, holding his chest as if there was still pain and looked out at the crowd. Then he frowned and muttered “they have been fed on…their auras look like they have been half eaten…”

Serena looked around at the people there and said “they don’t need to…they have been fed on by some kind of demon. By the looks…something close to a banshee. They feed off the pain and sorrow of others till there’s none…but the demon version is they eat till the soul doesn’t feel anything. THats why they have come. They need Kay’s flame to start their soul flares again…” she started to get up, shaking as she did.

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay helped him up and walked to the window looking out at the sheer amount of people who were coming toward Chas and Serena as they tried to keep them a safe distance from the house. It was daunting and overwhelming seeing them all and John's words about what he sensed was wrong with them didn't help to lower her anxiety on the situation. "if I'm to do this, then let me try and help you first" she told him after being silent for a few moments. "I can't do this without you" she told him.

Chas glanced at Serena as she explained what she was figuring out from the way these people were. "do you really think Kay can do this? This is a lot of people" he asked before noticing out the corner of his eye, John and Kay in the window but didn't bring any attention to them. He didn't want to risk the people in need of help, noticing and heading to the house. He didn't want to have lack of trust in Kay and what she could do but he also knew she was still learning about who she was and was concerned about her doing this.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John waved his hand and said “I think I’m just feeling what they are...the map sometimes does that to help me help others...right now I feel a lot of pain and light headed...” what he didn’t say was this was more then the map. He had a feeling someone else was keeping his magic under wraps for some reason.

Serena nodded and said “she doesn’t have to even touch them. Her wings and aura will do enough for these people...then we can go on the hunt for the demon doing this. We just need a clue to who and what it is...” she walked to the first person and had the shadows speak to each other, leaning on a post to stay upright.

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay nodded at John's words, deciding that hopefully if she could somehow heal these random people, then John would start feeling better himself. "Okay" she replied, deciding to help him get to outside as Serena was outside conversing through the shadows with the people. She didn't even think that John would be keeping any extra information from her, just taking what he said at face value. She just hoped she could help at least some of these people and that it wasn't some kind of trick or some kind.

Chas watched Serena as she did what she could, hoping that the woman was correct in that Kay wouldn't even have to touch these people to do some good. This felt so far from his and John's normal stint that he almost slightly uncomfortable with it. He honestly felt like they were just using Kay or about to parade her around as this attraction or something, but he would keep those thoughts to himself. He watched on throughout the crowd to make sure that no demons or anything else downworld related was around, not knowing that there was indeed a mage in the crowd. Kay managed to step outside which made him look toward the front door, hoping she wouldn't get mobbed as he could see just how uncomfortable the woman was feeling deep down. He was just glad she wasn't alone.

As she stepped out, murmurs could be heard throughout the crowd declaring her arrival outside, people saying how they just know its her and she's the one who could save them. The mage who was well hidden in the crowd watched on with great curiosity, seeing Kay's bright flame ombre coloured hair first, recognising it as a sign of the phoenix. 'well i'll be' he thought to himself.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John put his arm around Kay as they walked over, Serena turning and meeting them and the four of them huddled. “Alright, from what the shadows told me, it’s a grief eating demon. They need a flash of hope and light to restart their positive emotions…Kay? I think your wings put will be enough. Then we need to do a memory wipe. Just in case…”

John nodded and said “I can handle that part. Kay? You want to do this? If not we can find another way to help them”

[FuriePhoenix]

Outside, she let Serena come up to her and John, huddle into them both and explain what was going on. The idea of a memory wipe being made afterwards was of some comfort as she really didn't want to be hunted after being seen so publicly with her wings out in broadlight. She looked at John when he confirmed he could handle the wiping of minds part, if she was willing to do this to help people. The fact he gave her the option to back out meant a lot to her, but she felt deep down she couldn't back out, even if she wanted to. "I'll do it" she said to them both, "just...just keep anyone who might rush me away please? I can't handle the idea of being rushed at" she added, before sighing and stepping in front of Serena to look at the all faces of people who weredesperate for hope. A look in the eyes that she knew personally all too well. A look she herself had for a long time before she met Serena, John and Chas.

With a deep inhale, she equally deeply exhaled as her hands shook from nerves as the many eyes all stared at her, still muttering about how she was their hope. As she tried to mute out their mutters, she let her wings appear through her 'tattoo' on her back, the marking glowing softly, getting brighter and brighter until her wings appeared and stretched out wide either side of her and upwards slightly. The reds and oranges of the feathers seeming to pick up the glimmer of the sun's rays and almost glitter in its rays. The full wing span an impressive length, easily equally the same as the height of a 6ft man on each wing.

[MegaraFoxfire]

When her wings came out, the aura of hope and light burst out and washed over all of those affected. Serena moved back, her shadows not being able to handle the light as John was already working on a wiping spell. When the aura did it’s job Serena moved and shot her shadows out to block Kay from view and John sent the spell out, everyone there blinking in confusion.

After a few minutes John was telling people how to get back to the main city. Serena moved next to Kay and smiled. “Nicely done, dear. That was really weird everyone affected showing up like that…”

John was waving everyone off and sighed, still looking worse for wear. He nodded to Chas and muttered “someone of the magic sort was here…they did something…I can’t shake it off. We need to check around…make sure nothing else got left behind…”

[FuriePhoenix]

When Kay's wings and aura began healing the people crowded round the mage that was hidden within the crowd watched on with great intrigue. A smirk appeared on his face as he realised the word that was spreading round the downworld was indeed true. "well bugger me, the word is true. Seems I have a good cash grab indeed" he muttered to himself, remaining blended in the crowd until it was time to disperse where he vanished off to put his plan into action.

Kay had no idea how her wings were doing what they were but she could see how they were helping these people and glad they were getting better. She watched as they seemed to hope again and look they had will to live once again. It was however making her feel weak as it was for so many people, having only really healed one person at a time before. Her wings folded back behind her in a relaxed position when it was done whilst Serena's shadows shrouded her from sight for John to wipe all their memories of how and why they got to the mill house. She smiled slightly when Serena came over and told her good job done, but she was tired and lacked the energy to really say or smile more. "yeah" was all she could manage to get out.

Chas saw how drained John still was and listened to his quiet muttering before nodded. "got it, I'll start walking round with the excuse of making sure there's no stragglers behind" he muttered back, not wanting to alarm the girls. He glanced over and saw the fatigue on Kay, "think shhe needs some rest. She looks really tired John" he remarked.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena pulled Kay’s arm over her shoulder and started to get her inside, feeling like something wasn’t right. She had a bad feeling someone had been watching, and not to be healed. She muttered “Kay...don’t let yourself be alone for a little bit alright? I have a bad feeling and I have learned not to ignore them”

John nodded and said “Serena and I will get her, you make sure nothing comes out of the wood work...” John started to head back to the house but had to pause when a wave of weakness hit him. He grabbed a post as the girls were already inside, closing his eyes a moment to catch his breath. “What...is going...on...”

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay nodded and was thankful for the little bit of aid. She honestly felt like she could fall asleep and happily remain so for days, even if wouldn't be the case, she wouldn't say no to it at the same time. Listening to the bit of advice from Serena as they got inside, she nodded, "Sure I trust your instincts" she replied, "Just get me on the couch, I really need a nap" she smiled before she began yawning. She did plan on going to her room and sleeping on the bed alone for a while, but if Serena said about not being alone then not alone she would agree to being.

CHas agreed that it was definitely for the best that the two women needed at least one of them around for the time until he could finish doing the round of searching. As John headed toward the house, Chas started doing a check round the perimeter of the mill house and woodland that surrounded it. He went as far as checking down most of the dirt road that would take anyone to the main road before he would even think about heading back. As he went he didn't find anything out of the ordinary, not even anything left hidden on the ground or in the grass at the sides of the roads to give any kind of hint that someone was there searching for Kay. Yet like the others, he felt something was off somewhere, he just couldn't find it and it was greatly irritating him.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena set her on the big couch and wrapped a blanket around her. “I hate to be a bother…but can you ask Fee if she noticed anything out there? I just have a really bad feeling…and it’s not going away”

When Chas turned back to the house John was on his knees by the front doors, his head swimming as he fought to get up and push on. But something was keeping him weak and he needed to figure out what.

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay was thankful for the help to the couch and the blanket which she wasted no time in getting under and pulling a cushion right under her head, placing one hand under the cushion as well. The moment she did she was getting more fatigued and just wanted to sleep but did hear what Serena said, "I'll try" she yawned, before mentally going into her mind to try and ask Fee what Serena wanted to know. It took a few moments but eventually Kay did reopen her eyes and looked at Serena, "she sensed something but couldn't say what. Not without being outside and doing her own checks" she explained. Her words just managed to get out of her mouth before she fell asleep.

Chas saw John on his knees outside the front door making him run over to his mate and helping him onto his feet. "John you alright mate?" he asked concerned, wondering what the hell was going on that was causing John not to feel stronger again. "I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary which is frustrating" he explained, helping him into the house.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena sighed and leaned back in the chair, thinking. Then she muttered “your up, Bane...” a huge shape stepped out and a black wolf appeared and nodded. “Leave it to me, blessed one...” he vanished and Serena leaned forward and rubbed her temples. “I’m missing something...”

John shook his head and said “I don’t know...it’s like I have a leech on me or something...I can’t shake it off Chas...I can’t leave the house unguarded...”

[FuriePhoenix]

It took Kay all of about two minutes before she fell into a deep sleep and for once she didn't have any nightmares stirring in her mind. She didn't even have any good dreams, it was just a deep blank sleep so she could recover from healing so many people all at once.

Chas listened to John carefully and nodded his understanding. "then let's get you inside and try and figure something out." he suggested, it was then he saw out the corner of his eyes the shadow alpha wolf of Bane outside doing his own searches. "and besides, looks like Serena and Bane have this covered" he added.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John looked over weakly and smiled. “That’s just want needs to be done…” he leaned on Chas as they walked thru the door. Serena looked up and said “John? What’s wrong? You alright?” She got up and walked over to them, helping John to the free chair. John sat down, shaking now. “I think…I’ve been hexed…”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas, with the help of Serena got John to the spare armchair and sat him down on it, seeing that Kay was well and truly asleep on the couch. He looked at John again when he said about possibly being hexed. "but how?" he asked his mate. "and more importantly, why?" he added. He had a feeling it had something to do with Kay, but he didn't want to say it out loud as it was clear John and Serena had grown rather attached to the woman in their own ways. "more importantly, how can we see what hex it is and how do we get rid of it?" he then fou d himself asking.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena cursed and said “his whole thing was a set up...I bet someone in that crowd used this as a chance to get a good look at Kay. They are making it easier to grab her. We can’t let that happen.” John nodded weakly and muttered “first we need to recheck the house...make sure it’s secure...then figure out what I was hit with...I was good till manny showed up...I hate to say is but I may need to summon him to figure out when the hex started and when his safety magic ended”
