For nearly a week after Charlotte's death, i lay on my bed, not sleeping, not eating, not crying, not doing anything, but starring dry eyed at the wall opposite, and mourning my whole life. Joshua sat with me alot of the time, or lay beside me, holding me, but even he understood that he could not force me out of this state. One evening, i lay there, and finally some rational thought broke though into the wasteland of my mind- What good will this do? You can lie here foreve and it wont change a thing Charlie is not coming back, and lying here will not bring Aila back. How many people will die if you stay here instead of going out and doin your job? Wake up girl! I blinked. I rolled my shoulders and slipped out of Joshua's embrace, standing up for the first time in days. I looked down at him as he slept- he must have been exhausted. I kissed his forehead, then went to the bathroom. I took a shower, tied my hair back tightly, and dressed all in black, pulling on my black boots too. I applied my dark makeup, and stood infront of the mirror- i got a shock. I looked amazingly like the girl who had come to LA all that time ago, before I'd met any of these people... before I gave a damn. I stocked up on stakes, picked up my soul sword, and left the apartment. Demons of LA beware- the slayer is back. ((cheeeeeeeeeeeesy!  )) |

I walked up to May. "Good to see you back out and dangerous."

I smirked,
"Good to be back." I said, not slowing. A vamp leapt out at us, and in one movement, without so much as a glance sideways, i whipped out my soul sword and separated him from his head, tucking the bladeless hilt away again a second later. Tpot swallowed.

I smiled from the roof tops. Yeah, maya was back, and at her deadly best. Kind of like me, I added, looking back at the two Fyarl demon corpses behind me. One was headless, the other had several dozen small crossbow bolts in his body.
With a final look at maya and TPot, I took off over the roof tops. I had my own work to do, and those demons had given me a lead.
It was time for some payback.

I continued through the town, not even bothering with the graveyards, just sweeping though LA, taking down any bad guys i saw. If they were attacking someone, then providing said person wasn't dying, i would ignore themn after. It was the demons i was interested in. I'd been out of the game for a week- i needed to make up for it.

I felt something behind me and spun around just in time to see Maya dust the vamp. "Couldn't leave him to me could you?"

"Y'snooze y'lose." I said simply, and marched on. Why was this not as releasing as it should be? I thought angrily. Stupid vampires- i needed some real action!!

I stood over the sniveling snitch.
"Where is he, Willy?" I said. There was a vamp running around with possible links to other dimensional demons. He could lead me to the ones that took Charlotte and Aila from me. "Answer me!"
"I don't know," he pleaded. "He comes and goes, I can't keep track of him.
"Don't lie to me, you little rat," I said softly. "I don't like liars."

"He's not lying, Doc." I said from the doorway. He swivelled to face me, looking confused. I tapped the side of my head, "Zapped him dry already. He doesnt know." I shook my head despairingly, "What i have found out? They're telepathic, these demons... so if they have more than a braincell between them, they'll be covering their tracks the untraceable way..."

"Then I find them the traditional way," I said, dropping the snitch. "Nothing's untrackable. I will find them."

"They dont live in this world, Doc." I said tiredly, feeling wetness in my eyes. "And no one, over all the centuries they've been heard of, has ever even come close to finding where they do live..."

"Then they better keep hiding," I said as i walked out. "'Cause if I find dem, dey'll find out why I was called 'De Butcher of de Bayous'."

I grabbed Doc's arm, pulling him back and slamming him against the nearest wall with furious tears in my eyes.
"Dont get me wrong Doc, i totally get what's driving you, and i'm right there with you. But dont you dare do anything stupid. Dont you DARE let go. I cant lose you too, Doc."

"Maya..." Damn, what was thinking. Letting Francois peek out like that. Reign it it in, man. "Maya, it's okay," I whispered, drawing her into a hug. "I'm still here. And I'm not going anywhere, okay? You, on the other hand...you had me worried for a while there, little sister," I made sure Willy heard that. It was a well known fact you don't mess with my family. Willy would spread it around.

I hugged him tight. I hadn't really seen him since the night it had happened...
I pulled back, sniffing,
"Sorry... didn't mean to get all weepy on ya there... wanna head to the graveyard?"
