[/url] The limo ride was quite short but in the end the group soon headed another destination that Alistair chose. "well now I know you all are in a rush to save your friends and all, but its late and speaking to Henrik now would not be the most opportune thing to do at the moment" Alistair said closing his eyes as the group parked in front of a hotel. With a casual smile the man walked out and held his new pimp cane. He quite liked this new sword of his and the fact that it could shapeshift like this was even more fun. With that done, Alistair merely walked ahead to the checkout and proceeded with business. In no time at all, Alistair returned with some keycards and a bright smile "well now you each get a suite, go wild with the roomservice" Alistair said as he walked off. "Welp enjoy!" Alistair said before heading into his own room and drifted off to sleep.
"Boring" Said the elder man as he rested in his room and flicked through the television channels with the remote. In this hospital there weren't very many channels and most of the channels showed the most boring shows ever. There really wasn't much for him to actually do so at the moment Julius had to really rely on the television to relieve him of this boredom. Meeting with Noelle was fun, but that was a short lived moment and the girl left. And so the man continued to flip through the channels, but something caught his attention. There was breaking news and all too instantly his attention was focused purely on it. According to the woman on the television there was a crash between a bus and two cars. Julius' eye focused not on the woman hogging the scene but the devastation behind her. His eyes narrowed and pitted the scene but soon enough after the scene was done being described he heard something unbelievable. All too suddenly the man dropped the remote in his hand and stared dumbfound as he listened to the names being reported. "Sophie...Bryan..." Julius said softly before closing his eyes and clenched his teeth. Those two names rang deep in his mind, but the other, while was not that well known to him, was still one that had an impact on him. The person named Lucas...he shared the same last name as the girl next to him. Everything hurt, both mind and body. The memories of Sophie calling him Sir Dashing Patch and making a whole lot of silly jokes, the hung around Bryan, they all flooded into his mind. He wanted to yell, but he knew he couldn't do it here. He thought of Noelle and Fatime, how would the two be able to deal with it? how would the two be able to deal with the loss of their family. He never knew much about Fatime, but he knew a good deal about Noelle and he definitely did not want her to go through the pain he was all too familiar with. He just didn't know what to do, but then his cellphone rang, and instantly answered "Julius! good you picked up...Noelle was in an accident...she is fine, nothing serious" said the voice of Jonathan. Hearing that Noelle was in that accident made him ill at ease, but hearing the girl was fine was all that he needed to hear "Stick by her okay? make sure she is alright...alright Jonathan?" Julius said. If it weren't for the damn wounds that plagued him he would have acted, but he needed help, he needed to make sure the girl wasn't alone. "Alright! no need to worry Julius" said Jonathan's voice before it shut off Hearing that Julius closed his eyes and let out a sigh as he leaned back on his bed. Bringing up his hand he clenched the eyepatch covering his eye
[/url] The face that she gave him when she heard his answer was absolutely cute. It was fun messing with her and Alistair clearly saw that the girl was giving them near impossible questions for them to answer. Being able to answer her question correctly was such an amusing feeling and he enjoyed it quite a deal. For now Alistair decided it was best to keep quite otherwise the girl will just destroy the plane. And so as the game came to an end Alistair listened to Lu's words and merely smirked as he listened to her request. The girl in their group obviously had special powers and if Lu wanted the girl then obviously she was important to Lucifer's goal. In general Alistair said nothing due to a lack of care of whether the girl would be sent there or not. In the end nobody said a word and soon enough Lu left. All Alistair could do was merely chuckle softly before shaking his head "My my my this girl...so noisy" Alistair said. The jet soon made its decent upon the land of Norway and the passengers soon made it off and began to walk. Lu's goal was obviously to make them not trust him and at this point he was beginning to wonder who did trust him. whether they trusted him or not was not the issue to him because he felt it was pointless. He did not lie to them nor does he even care about harming them. He was in it to relieve the boredom....betrayal was so dull... As they walked on a limo awaited for them and the man merely smiled "such a shame you all are in a rush, we could have enjoyed this trip quite a deal" Alistair said closing his eyes with a smile as he walked towards the vehicle. "About Henrik...well the two of us did meet, but dear old Temeluchas...or as I like to call her Tempy...kind of ruined that by taking me away from the discussion....basically Henrik loathes Tempy and before Tempy whisked me away, he found out I was working with her..." Alistair said cheerfully as he entered the limo and told the driver of the destination.
[/url] In the end this entire trip proved to be the greatest decision that Alistair had ever made. The cute little stuttering girl began to inform him of their situation and Alistair was intrigued by this. To say it wouldn't hurt to go with them, would be a flat out lie, but regardless of this Alistair willingly decided to join them in order to relieve his boredom. From what was told it seemed they were going to gather some of the other angels, but first it seemed they had another destination. Before he knew it he was at a strange storage room and soon enough he obtained a blade just like the others. This blade was a strange, but familiar one, one that felt like it filled a void deep inside.. Glancing down at the blade Alistair closed his eyes with a smirk, and soon enough they were off in his plane. If angels were who they were after then maybe they would appreciate a visit to Henrik. Whether the man was willing to leave his wife or not was an issue, but it was their issue regardless. With that the group proceeded to Norway and away from the ghoul infected London. Staring out the window, Alistair held a glass of wine in hand, but the sudden crash off his door flying off caused the aristocrat to merely sigh "oh boy...what am I going to do with these angels..." Alistair muttered silently with a smile. He had a guess who it was and soon enough his guess was proven right. Before he knew it the girl soon began to sit on his lap as if she was his lover or something...how amusing. With wine in hand, Alistair merely closed his eyes with a non changing smile as he sat there and listened to her talk. He told no lies and whether the others would trust him or not was up to them, he really didn't care. The girl began to speak to him about how she needed him to stay home, but Alistair merely looked down at her face before closing his eyes and giving her the usual smile he would give her. Soon enough, she began to speak to the one named Abaddon and the fact that the angel of destruction sat before him was intriguing. For now Alistair enjoyed the little play his mistress was playing at. "I will warn you my little lady here has a strange fetish for pain....the estacy she feels from it is quite cute....but a life without risk is dull so why not play for a bit?" Alistair said calmly with his eyes closed and a calm smile.
When he got a reply Jonathan smiled a bit but the moment he saw just who had answered his call his eyes immediately widened in surprise as he looked at the red haired girl. "Your...Noelle" Jonathan said quite surprised at the chance the two of them had met in a situation like this. Though quite surprised by the unexpected moment, Jonathan tried to act as fast as he could before bringing the girl up. At first glance, Jonathan could instantly tell that the girl was injured and all too instantly he began to act fast. She needed help as fast as possible and Jonathan needed to do something. Picking up the girl, he jumped off the bus, and walked away from the bus wreckage as fast as he could. Had this not been a dire moment he would have instantly thought about how television made picking up another person look so easy. Help had arrived and relief filled the mind of Jonathan. Before he knew it Noelle was taken from him and packed away into the ambulance. Feeling he would only be a burden to the others dealing with the cars, Jonathan entered the ambulance with Noelle since he was worried for the girl and that it was heading to his destination. "Relax Noelle, you'll be fine" Jonathan said with a warm smile as he sat in the vehicle and let the paramedics do their job.
[/url]Another slash and the ghoul before the aristocrat was brought down by the blades of Alistair. With a smirk he took a few steps back in order to prepare to lunge again, but the sudden sound of footsteps instantly caught his attention and before he knew it two other strangers rushed into the fray wield a blade. Closing his eyes and letting out a sigh, Alistair merely shook his head "Oh my...looks like somebody is hoarding all the fun" Alistair said before opening his eyes once more. The ghoul hoard was few in numbers and so cleaning the group of the streets was not a difficult nor time consuming feat. Thoughout the fight the mysterious blades that the two gentlemen wielded did catch his interest. Placing away the two knives he held, Alistair soon turned his attention to the group that now formed and closed his eyes with a charming smile "impressive fighting skills out there" Alistair said before pressing his hand on his chest before giving the group a slight bow "My name is Alistair Grey...pleasure to meet you all" Alistair said before raising himself and placed his hand in his pocket.
[/url] A slash to the throat, a sidestep to avoid a lunge, this was becoming more and more like a true battle and Alistair revealed in the slashing of these mindless husks. Both knives rested in his hands, and twirling both in hand, Alistair rushed forward to a ghoul and with all his might he swung both knives at the throat and from both sides the knives dug deep into the neck. This wasn't truly enough to behead the ghoul, but he really wasn't going for that at the moment. With both knives still in the neck and hands still grasping the knives as tight as he could, Alistair began to push his shoulder against the ghoul's chest and together the two began to move. Pushing forward Alistair rushed up until they reached a huge window and with a grin Alistair pushed the two out. Using the ghoul's body as a shield the crashed through the window and both collided on the ground. With no time to spare Alistair quickly rose to his feet and stomped onto the fallen ghoul's neck, completing the beheading. With that done he merely grasped the head and immediately chucked it at the head of another incoming ghoul that fell from the sheer impact of the blow. Once again he was now in the open and merely grasping the knives by his feet he once again began to battle. Twirling his knives as he leap backwards he landed back and smirked. His body would soon not be able to handle it all, but his mind was always ready.
The snow was quite beautiful, but doubt began to fill the mind of Jonathan as he sat in the back of a taxi. True he was extremely eager to visit his brother, but traversing in such a storm was not the best idea. The taxi was warm though so Jonathan was quite comfy and since he already got out all he could do was really try to sit back and enjoy the ride. The taxi drive and Jonathan began to merely talk nonchalantly to pass by the time and Jonathan was enjoying his time, but all too suddenly it happened before their very eyes. Witnessing the event with his very eyes he watched the bus and the two vehicles collide. In horror he watched the explosion occur and all too instantly Jonathan took off his seat belt. "STOP THE CAR!" Jonathan yelled. "DOING THAT!" yelled the taxi driver as he instantly brought the taxi to a halt before the two instantly leapt out of the vehicle and rushed towards the wreckage. "Kid go help the people in the bus" the taxi drive yelled. Jonathan was taken back by this claim "but-" "NO BUTS, WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THAT BUS AND WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH MORE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR" The taxi driver yelled. Immediately Jonathan fell silent and merely nodded. This man knew already that those in the cars were a lost cause....he wanted to spare the child from the scene and help those that did have a chance. Jonathan figured this, but he didn't have time to complain nor argue. He rushed to the bus that was on it's side and closing his eyes, Jonathan took a deep breath before grabbing onto the bus and hoisting himself ontop of it. He rushed to the nearest door and with all his might he tried to get the door open. Luckily the driver helped him with that and the door was soon opened. With the driver out, Jonathan lowered his arm into the bus and peered his head into it "ANYBODY THERE?! QUICK! GRAB MY HAND!" Jonathan yelled.
[/url]The sheer rush he felt was wondrous and though he said this many times, he was truly feeling alive at the moment with all that was going on. With each moment things got far more interesting and Alistair just continued on with it. A quick slash with a knife was enough to give him enough time. All the fights he was getting into, they were for this moment. The ghouls had found his hiding spot and though he felt running away would be a good idea, he remained where he rested. There were a few ghouls but they weren't a big number and in terms of terrain Alistair had the advantage. In general Alistair picked off the ones he could with his knife and moved on towards the other mindless beings.
Jonathan had really no idea what was going on and exactly were he was going. True the boy did get to see many new places, but regardless the day did take a really weird turn and the sheer confusion made it hard to really comprehend much. Regardless of this Jonathan tried his best to just go with the flow and hide any confusion. In the end the the two split ways and though he introduced himself he never did get the stranger's name. With a sigh Jonathan returned back to his hotel room and decided to relax a bit. He was planning on maybe visiting Julius a bit, but now didn't seem like the best time and he could always visit him anytime. With a yawn Jonathan stretched his arms and rested himself on his bed. While he rested himself on the bed he began to think back to what Julius told him about Candlewood. He was pretty adamant about him meeting his favorite student Noelle so that was something Jonathan could probably look forward to. Candlewood was a great experience and before he knew it he drifted off to sleep.
[/url] Alistair had managed to scour a good about of the area and sure enough he actually got a good grasp of the area he was in. So far he had yet to encounter any ghouls but he knew that they were sure to sniff out his warm flesh to devour. There was not much he could really do at the moment and for now Alistair felt it would be best to rest for now. Finding quite a sturdy place to rest in, Alistair walked into the deserted building and made camp there. He analyzed the area and tried his best to find out whatever he could in the case of a zombie attack. If there was one he knew what he would do and had back ups just in case. For now Alistair rested his eyes and smirked. Lu was sure to give him crap but as usual he would take it all.
With his hand being grasped by the strange stranger before him, Jonathan helped the man up to his feet as he pulled him up. People were looking but soon enough they went on their merry way. Turning his attention back to the person he collided into, he was soon welcomed by a strange glare from the man. Instantly Jonathan rose his eyebrow in sheer confusion from the sudden look. Hearing the stranger speak was quite odd and Jonathan continued to stare at the man not really knowing how to react to this person "Errr....your....welcome?" Jonathan said before scratching the back of his head. Feeling that there encounter was good and done, Jonathan began to prepare to continue his trek but once again his new comrade began to speak. "Wait what?" Jonathan said more confused than ever once being told to follow him. Before he knew it he was following this new guy with him to the bus stop to go who knows where. "Umm...hmmm...Fortisimo...sounds...familiar..." Jonathan said crossing his arms as he began to ponder. when he realized just where he recalled the name his face brightened "Ah! yes thats where Julius works" Jonathan said.
[/url] The bodies were still fresh and the sign was clear. Alistair knew he had to be on guard on all times and if not he would be finding himself kicking a second bucket. These ghouls were sure to be roaming around looking for delicious flesh and he was on the menu. Of course he came prepared, but he didn't know much about this foe and if anything he would get overwhelmed easily. Heading into a ghoul infested city was madness, but it was also something he felt was needed. He needed to strengthen his powered and merely killing some thugs and sitting around was not going to help in the slightest. For now Alistair took up whatever he could find as an asset and continued on. He knew that being out in the open was suicide so he needed to be stealthy. Adreneline filled the man as he smirked and rested against a wall in a nearby abandoned shop.
[/url]The trip was a long and tedious one, but this feeling was most likely due to his anticipation for reaching London. Having awoken early in the morning Alistair made it his goal to travel there and do a little investigating. Zombies running amok was something that surely called out to him and it was something he just couldn't ignore. As he swirled the red liquid in his glass he merely stared out the window of his aircraft and smiled nonchalantly. Who knew what he would find there and if anything there could be the chance of him encountering the others. Tempy was probably not going to like this turn out, but regardless Alistair felt like was too dull to merely waste sitting around and doing nothing of interest. Soon enough his airplane hit land and Alistair got off and walked forward with his hands in his pocket. Calmly the man walked on and soon enough he witnessed it. He witnessed the dead bodies and he witnessed what looked like a lifeless city. His eyes were fixated at the scene and all too suddenly a sharp pain his his head and the man instantly clutched his head. In the mere moment it arrived, it soon vanished all too instantly. Shaking his head, the nonchalant smile returned to his face as he walked on.
As time moved on Jonathan continued his trek and witnessed as much as he could. There were many things that had caught the young man's attention and he immediately committed them into his memories. If Jonathan was planning on staying in this city then he needed to know as much as he could about the city in order to prevent any other problems that would occur. With this he would be able to minimize the chance of getting lost and any other predicaments as well. With each moment he continued to walk on down the streets that were lightly covered by the snow. The cold was a pain, but for Jonathan he didn't really mind. He wondered how much this city would change with time, did they do something in the summer? was there any festivals? there were many questions but Jonathan realized that he was most likely over exagerating his expectations with this city. Jonathan continued to walk on nonchalantly but the sudden appearance of a man before him instantly caught his attention. The way this man was moving was...weird and before Jonathan could even react the two of them collided and the hungover man fell to the ground. Guilt instantly filled his mind and Jonathan was ready to try and correct this, but then the man opened his mouth and began to speak. All too suddenly Jonathan's eye immediately began to twitch as he stared down at the person on the ground. "M-Moneybags?" Jonathan said quietly as he clenched his fist. "OI YOUR THE DUMBASS THAT CRASHED INTO ME! I-" Jonathan began to yell, but immediately caught himself and rubbed his temples with one hand "errr....ummm...sorry about that...." Jonathan said before putting his hand out in order to help him up and gave him a bright smile "Names Jonathan...sorry about that" Jonathan said
The rays of the morning sun had entered the room of Jonathan and with a loud yawn the boy sat up and stretched out his arms with a satisfying sigh as he jumped out of bed and smiled as he stared out window. This feeling of being alone and independent was a wondrous feeling and one that also pumped his adrenaline. After a shower Jonathan was off out of the hotel and soon enough out on the streets for him to wander about. His first thoughts were to at least check up on Julius but the only thing he figured would happen at the moment was that the two would bicker as usual so that was out of the option. For now Jonathan decided to let Julius rest and heal his wounds before he then started a fight with the idiot. WIth a sigh, the boy could only walk on through the streets of Candlewood and check out as much as he could find about this place. Julius never really spoke about Candlewood, but that was most likely cause there most likely wasn't much in the city. Regardless this was a new adventure for Jonathan and he was enjoying the moment.
Adjusting himself the the throbbing pain from the tray being thrown earlier, Jonathan groaned as he stood up and shook Erik's hand "Errr I guess?" Jonathan said with a smile as he scratched the back of his hand. To be honest Jonathan had no real idea what was going on, but soon enough Erik began to leave and Jonathan gave him another smile "Nice meeting you" Jonathan said with a smile as he soon turned to Julius who had suddenly cringed in pain and laid back on his bed "You really need to focus on resting right now...cant have you kickin the bucket now" Jonathan said crossing his arms. "Urrg...too much work goddamn it" Julius muttered silently. After that sudden outburst he had he totally forgot his limits and now was definitely feeling the consequences now. "You worry too much...forget about the play now, the other people should understand...right now both of you should get some rest, the more you do so the faster you will get out of her" Jonathan said with a grin "I'll leave you be...nice meeting you Fatime...see ya later" Jonathan said. He felt like sticking around more, but the fear of getting caught was just too much for him at the moment and with that he returned the hotel he was staying and and drifted off to sleep once he got there. "Urggg that kid is trying to kill me...but he has a point...best get some rest...we'll talk...or err..message tomorrow" Julius said to Fatime before drifting off to sleep.
Each move, each slice, it all came so natural, so instinctively. Each blow drew the red liquid and each blow was one that truly belonged to one so skilled. For one that did not have much experience, for one that had only just started, such a feat was truly one that would belong to somebody that was above the norm of a human being. Such a thing was nothing truly unbelievable for the angel, but it showed some progress none the less. Drugs, alcohol, murder and rape, these people flourished on these things and it was for that reason that he was drawn to them. Their death called out to him feverishly and it was a call that he could not just ignore. Slashed throats, missing organs, spilling blood, it was a scene filled with gore and one that the police would be traumatized just by looking at it. Had his instincts not taken part and had he only taken the step forward on his own then things wouldn't have ended so...distasteful. With the murder done the murderer made his was to his sleeping chambers and drifted off to sleep.
Another note had arrived and luckily unlike the last time Erik had caught the flying note and managed to read it before it hit his eye again. Reading the note and observing all the praise he received from the girl instantly made the man scratch the side of his cheek and try his best not to blush from embarrassment. Upon finishing the note a newcomer had managed to sneak his way in and bring in some food for the two that stayed in the room. Erik had asked a question Julius was quite curious about, but the nurse had begun to answer the question and immediately the nurse had been assaulted by a heavy pillow from Fatime. The nurse was surely lucky that Fatime had acted before him because if Julius acted then a heavy pillow was surely not going to be thrown at the rude kid. After that quick moment the topic had shifted and soon enough a discussion about the play had begun. A choice needed to be made and as he was now, Julius surely could not lead them now. "Well then I-" Julius began to say but stopped instantly once he heard a commotion outside. "That voice....oh god no.." Julius said as his eye twitched "oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god" Julius began to repeat until finally a newcomer rushed into the room and closed the door while panting. "...that...was...close...I.........JULIUS!" said the fatigued Jonathan as he rose to his feet and rushed up to his brothers side "Well looks like the odds are in my favor...mission complete" Jonathan said closing his eyes with a grin as he gave himself a pat on the back. ".........Jonathan....what the hell are you doing here" Julius said as his eye continued to twitch "does dad even know your here?" Julius asked "heeeeeeeeell no...as if dad would even let me come alone" Jonathan said opening his eyes as his grin remained "Decided to run off on my on and do my own stuff" Jonathan said point his thumb at himself "Your looking at the new Jonathan and I- WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!" Jonathan yelled all of a sudden as he began to freak out at the condition his brother was in. Hearing the response only caused Julius to facepalm at his own brother "YOUR ONLY NOW NOTICING?!" Julius yelled. "HEY I-" Jonathan began to yell back before he suddenly heard the doorknob turn "OH SHIT" Jonathan yelled before jumping onto Julius's bed in an attempt to get across "OW WHAT THE HELL?!" Julius yelled as his brother climbed across and hid behind the bed as two men entered and looked into the room. Once the men didn't see Jonathan, they closed the door and left "well that was close" Jonathan said with a bright smile "I...am so...going to...fucking kill you" Julius panting trying his best to hold in the pain. When he caught his breath, Julius glanced over at Jonathan and closed his eyes "heh...not if I kill you first and...OH! YOU HAVE GUESTS!" Jonathan said happily as he stared over at Fatime and Erik "HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT NOTICE THIS" Julius said tossing a nearby tray that hit the boy in his face, causing the boy to fall. "This is my brother Jonathan....dunno why the hell he is here but whatever....Jonathan, this is Erik and Fatime" Julius said before closing his eyes "hmmm....this is...convenient...hey Jonathan...feel like running a play?" Julius said "Eh?" Jonathan groaned as he sat up and rubbed his face as he looked up at the others.
Fatime didn't seem to be hurt and Julius was a bit relieved to see this, but he would have rather hear her actually say this to him and at least erase the doubts from his mind a bit. He watched her fiddle around with some paper and instantly he began to think that the girl must have been shy. She never really said much during rehearsals, but then again Julius was quite busy at that time. Soon enough the girl made a move and Julius instantly watched as the paper airplane headed straight towards him. Had he not been weak and had his head been more clear then what happened next would have defiantly not have happened. The plane soared through the air and instantly collided into his proper eye. Holding his face Julius let out a loud yell of pain "GODDAMN IT NOT THE OTHER EYEEEEEEEEE! IT HURRRRRRRT" Julius yelled as he held the paper airplane. Taking a second to withstand the pain and get his sight back, Julius opened up the airplane and instantly began to read what was written in it. Reading the note only made the man let out a sigh of relief as he glanced back over at Fatime "heh man your right...no need to worry about me kid..I'll be fine...just glad your alright" Julius said as he looked around the area "Now...where to find myself something to write with" Julius muttered as he glanced around. Julius' search would soon come to an end the moment Erik made his appearance into the room, which made the man pleased to see he has company. Hearing him ask how he was doing made the man instantly lean back on his bed and let out a mere groan "Man...I fee like ****..." Julius said with another groan. He noticed his eyepatch on the table beside him and in a mere second the eyepatch was one again around his bad eye. "Glad you came though...oh do you have any writing utensils? Miss.Fatime here needs some" Julius said
