(LA Night)Revenge

[Maya]

Ok, enough messing around. I decided- this thing was getting on my nerves. Their attention focused on the demon and Jessy, no one notice my eyes go black, or the magickal energy building with the fury within me- this thing had killed my friend adn his family, and made us kill another friend- i guess we all wanted revenge on it, though the others mightn't understand Joshua and my feelings.
"Pathetic mortals" The demon said, "All i have to do is threaten one of your own, and you freeze li..." He was cut off as he begna gaggin instead, releasing Jessy as he clawed at his own throat. Everyone looked around, confused, and noticed me. I was a couple of inches off the ground, one hand outstretched towards the demon and my hair swirling around me.
"Witch" The demon gasped. I c*cked my head to one side, looking at it appraisingly as it was lifted from the ground. The more i watched, the less it looked like Tucker- with my senses heightened like they were when i was like this, i could simply Feel that this was no human- it was incredibly dark, sickeningly so... Its skin was getting redder and redder, and a nasty smell began filtering into the room as it burnt from within. Just as it reached the brink of death, i dropped it, and walked calmly from the house, leaving it crumled on the ground.
[It's all yours] i told Doc and Tpot simutaneously.

[Jessy Jackson]

I rubbed my neck, realising that it probably hadn't been Tucker. I wondered where he was as I headed back to Maya's place.

[Joshua]

Jessy skittered off soon after she had been released from the shadow-shifter's grip. I grinned at Mai's handiwork, appreciating how she felt as I knew it as no other could. As Tpot and Doc surged forward and quickly dragged Long Dow, as he had been revealed, out of the house, Mai and I quickly spotted two more problems on the rise.

Tam, or Tamera, Tpot's little sister quickly tried to race after her brother and mentor (Doc just seems to be everybody's mentor these days), but I quickly caught her before she could run past me and I easily held her, keeping her arms back to prevent her throwing any more fireballs. "Whoa there Tam, you're not going out there," I told her firmly. She struggled for a minute, until her father shouted. I guess she hadn't realized he'd been there.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER!!" he tried to rush me, but Mai easily held him back.

"Sir, you really need to calm down," she said coldly.

<This is gonna be a problem. Can you fill in Nik while I try and explain this to pot-man's familiy?> I telepathically asked my girlfriend. She just gave me a mental affirmative, but kept her grip on Tpot's father.

[Maya]

I replied. I turned Tpots father, forcing him to look at me. The magicks stil flowing, my eyes were jet black, and he gasped.
"Sir." I said, "You need to chill, right now. Josh is not gonna hurt the kid, and unless you're relaly thick, you'll get that we just saved your lives. We're gonna go now, so get back to sleep, and keep the kid's fireballs undercontrol. Ok?"
He nodded quickly.
"Ok then." I said, and once again walked briskly from the house without a word to anyone else.

[Joshua]

"Well, I guess that worked," I reluctantly admitted at Tam and her father went back upstairs to bed. "But do you really wanna go," my question was suddenly punctuated by a shadowy scream, no doubt from our shapeshifter demon, "out there, you know what with the whole torture and killing thing going on?" I asked.

[TPot]

((You guys the part where i'm running after the guy is in guarding tucker.))

[TPot]

[Sure thing] I thought thinking that if see could send me messages than it must work the other way round to, The demon was flying into walls a other things as me and Doc had a game of demon tennis.

[Maya]

[Why the hell not?] I asked Joshua. I didn't mean it so sound quite as harsh, or cold- i had no reason to be like that to Josh... but i was in a less than good mood, and barely even glanced at Doc and Tpot as they had their way with the demon. My memories of what had happened were a little too clear right now, and they in turn bought back memories i'd rather not dwell on.
[Mai... you ok?] Joshua asked in my mind, still in the house.
[People shouldn't mess with other people's families.] Was my snappy reply.

[Joshua]

<Damn straight> I thought back. And then the absolute worst thing that could have happened, did.

Just as Tpot was getting ready to recieve his turn on pounding the demon, the shapeshifter suddely turned its fist into a large stone fist and knocked our friend down for the count. Before even those of us with Slayer powers could react, the demon was running off into the night.

"Crap!" Mai and I said together and started to give chase, but Tpot suddenly jumping up and doing just that startled us into faltering a little.

Instead, we paused and conferred with Doc for a moment, seeing as he actually knew this demon and it was better to go into a fight knowing a demon's weaknesses rather than not. Doc had taught both of us that.

[Maya]

((Joshua, read other peoples stage-direction bits for once- Im not here anymore! I've gone off in a witchy rage, ok?? Not near the house anymore.))

[Joshua]

(((Kay)))

Halfway through Doc's explanation, the frustration that had been building inside of Maya finally snapped and she rushed off, but I managed to stop Doc from giving chase, pointing out that it was better for the two of us to go and make sure Tpot wouldn't get himself killed and that Dow Long was actually dead by the time we got through with it.

At a fast trot, we headed for the Graveyard.

(((This is probably the last post for this string)))

[TPot]

"I know that smell," I said as I walked home, when I got there I saw that my house was up in flames, I watched as a figure ran off into the darkness, "Him..." I said as the figure faded out of view, then I went to my house to see two black crispy dead bodies, the bodies of my parents, I looked at the house then at the bodies and ran after the figure.

[Joshua]

(((Or not)))

[Maya]

(((aw crap.)))

[Joshua]

Ditto.
