"H - Help me. E-Ev........ C-Claire......... I-I'm so c-c-cold".
She tried to move her arm, but she couldn't. It seemed that the trauma she endured cut her nerves in her arms, and she could barely breathe anymore. But she tried. Her legs seemed not to be too bad, so she bent her knees up and tried to kick across the ground. She moved a bit, but not much as she grunted in pain, then craned her head back as much as she could to see. But she couldn't see. She couldn't see Everette, or Claire, or anything. She couldn't yell. She couldn't scream. All she could do was bleed and die. But not yet, not like this. She tried to scream but she couldn't, but then remembered something. Sarz, the mermaid. Closing her eyes, the door of the basement combusted and scared Sarz. Lucky it wasn't late at night, because the mermaid wallered and screamed out loud in a piercing shrill. She cried as she tried to move again, failing. "HEL-P"! But it was no help. She slumped down a little bit more, and then closed her eyes and waited. |

Claire was going through a lot of the books since she had come here to go through, if need be all of them with everything that was happening with Wes, she was sure of it, and she wasn't going to just give up on him, and she had to make sure she was prepared for as much as she was trying to find a way to at least take away Kyra's influence or something. 'Damn it, why can I always find what I'm looking for and not now!?' Claire asked frustrated to herself as earlier sounds had gone by her because it wasn't too clear as she was in thought.
Still when the basement door combusted and the scream of Sarz pierced her ears for a moment she looked up while getting up and turning around and before she knew it she saw Jace and how she looked at her eyes grew wide in shock as she let the book she had in her hand drop to the floor and then ran over to her. 'Jace! Oh my God! What happened!?' She asked as she grabbed hold of Jace as best she could to support her and looked around, where the Hell was Everette? 'Everette! If you're out there get in here! Now! She screamed out, so that if he was anywhere inside of even close to the building, he might hear her, he was the only one of the Circle she thought about right now to call for help. She looked back at Jace and bit her lip as she couldn't help her eyes from tearing up because of the shock and concern of how bad it looked, she didn't know what to do! Not with this much...

He still couldn't find it. Was it an equinox? Or some kind of pink moon? Because somehow, someway everyone was falling in love with each other. It started with the little Xzavier/Lily sexcipades, then with Lana jumping up and down with pom-poms all morning and Axel and Eli getting a bit too close and personal then Ev would have liked to see. It wasn't natural, and now he found out that two people had been murdered; one because someone was a canibal who loved meat, and another because an old man loved a teenager so much he mummified her for his death bed. It was too much, and it definitely had to be stopped. Axel had told him about a cupid that could help in town, but it was no use. He had to find a spell or something before the whole city goes mad, and he knew exactly who would know. Jace! But before he could grab his cell, he heard the familiar loud shrill.
Looking over his shoulder to the door, he wondered why Sarz was making a fuss. Then, as he walked through the door he saw it. Jace -laying their - covered in wounds that pooled blood on the floor. He shot towards her, glancing to Claire and then back down to Jace. Jace was shaking, and traumatised as Ev looked at her in shock down beside her, and then he looked up at Claire. "What the hell happened? Did you see?". Before she answered, Ev looked down at Jace. How could this have happened? She was the Grey Witch, super powerful in her own right. How could something like this have happened. He teared a little bit, and took Jace's hand. He didn't know if he should call 911 or what, but right now he just wanted to be there for her and Claire. |

It seemed to be an at least felt like it took ages for something else to happen then having Jace mostly in her arms and trying to figure out what she could do. Then eventually finally Everette came in and she looked up at him with the same shock still in her eyes and the tears burning them slightly. When he came toward them and he asked her if she had seen anything she quickly shook her head and looked back down at Jace. 'No! She just came in like this, and probably used the reaction from Sarz to catch our attention if we were here...' Claire answered him softly.
After looking down at Jace again for a few seconds, Claire looked at Everette to take holding Jace over from her and shook her head determined. 'No... No, not just like this! There has to be something... There has to be something we can do!' She said as she carefully let go herself of Jace and slightly stumbling from how her entire body was shaking with shock, fear and anger at the same time as she made her way to the books that were closest to them, flipping through the pages like a mad woman, trying to find something, anything! As she did it she threw quick glances to the side, to their friend laying on the ground, she couldn't just let this happen, she couldn't just be helpless with them being witches and not be able to do anything when it was most important! 'Damn it... Damn it!' She said as she slammed her hands to the book when she still couldn't find anything and closed her eyes for a short few seconds.

Drop by drop, pint by pint. The life was slowly falling from her as she shook on the ground. She couldn't feel anything now, she couldn't do anything but shake. She hurt all over, and she just wanted to rest now. So much had been torn from her in the last day. Her love was gone, her powers were gone and her life was slowly fading away. When Claire saw her, Jace moved her eyes to look at her as she came by her side. She asked Jace what happened, but she couldn't talk. She was shaking in sobs, tears streaming and mixing with the crimson of the blood. She looked up at her friend and tried to speak again, but chocked on it. Claire yelled for Ev, and Jace tried to recover. She had to tell them what happened, to straighten it all out. To make sure Kyra and Wes were stopped.
Ev arrived, and she felt his hand in hers. Well at least she could kind of feel it. Her fingers felt numb, like she wasn't really feeling Ev but on a level she was, and she wanted to smile up at him; but she couldn't. Coughing again, she looked up at him. She had to tell them everything, and so for she did. "I - I can't feel my legs......... You n-need to know who did this........... It was K-kyra and Wes........ They wanted my power, and-d they got it. But it nearly killed me-e". Tears welled in Jace's eyes more. She loved them. She did, she loved Ev and Claire. Her true friends in this world who have stuck by her no matter what, and now - here, she was happy. She was happy that her last moments would be with the ones she loved, and she could help them. She didn't need a spell to see how much she loved these two. But she felt herself fading again, and had to do what needed to be done.
"B-but they didn't t-take it all. I have d-dark and elemental m-magic in me. And I w-want you to have it. K-Kyra and Wes are too strong now.......... You need this....... But b-before -". She didn't hold back crying and shook vigourously while she did it, thinking of all the people she loved. "T-tell Axel that he was a t-true friend, a-and to never stop ca-aring........ Tell J-Jayla that she is my f-forever, and I-I hope her mom get's better........... Tell Z-Zach, that I love h-him................. And you t-two were everything to me. I - I'm not perfect b-but you stood by me........... Thankyou". She tried to control her crying but she couldn't. It was goodbye. Nothing could reverse this, and laying on the ground she spluttered yet again. She was about to die, and she couldn't stop it. So using all her will, she grabbed both of their hands. "I love you.....". She smiled at them, and then let it go.
Jace drew her last breath then. But with that breath, she channelled the magic. Energy flowed through her arms, splitting at her soul as it slid through Jace's body and into them, providing them with her power. It entered them, and Jace limply laid. Jacinta Landers was dead, and it was all because of two witches. Two witches that had to be stopped. |

Claire had quickly tried another book before her head turned in a swift motion when her ears registered how Jace tried to talk and she instantly almost slid across the floor to end up again next to her and biting her lip tightly as she looked at how much effort it took for Jace to speak up. When the words rang through her head that it had been Kyra and Wes, Claire's eyes automatically shot up, looking randomly at Everette and biting her lip even harder. 'No...' She just barely whispered even because how much more this shook her to the core.
Claire could clearly feel the tears now streaming down her cheeks freely and it only increased by the second now, she couldn't believe that she couldn't do anything to help! That it was Jace lying here even with all her power, she had been betrayed, they had all been betrayed! 'No... This can't be happening... It can't!' Claire tried softly and desperately shaking her head even though she knew it had no choice, even if she realized all too well that Jace had no choice herself. She dropped her head as her whole body shook from the crying she was now uncontrollably letting take hold of her body as she listened to what would most likely be Jace's last words, her goodbye's clearly too toward all the people that obviously meant the world to her, Axel, Jayla, Zach, Ev and Claire herself, it only made her cry even more if that was even possible.
'Of course! We would never let you down, and of course you're not perfect, no one is... But you were, no you are perfect enough! We love you too...' Claire said quickly after Jace was quiet for a few seconds, just at least wanting her to know that, that she loved her too, which would no doubt go for Ev too, that she was a true friend in Claire's eyes too. So when Jace grabbed hold of both their hands, Claire quickly tightened the grip, but before she could do anything else, she could clearly feel the power channeling from Jace through her arm and going through her body as she couldn't really describe the feeling it gave as she closed her eyes and held her breath for a moment. Finally when she opened her eyes again when she had adjusted mostly, she noticed the grip at her hand had ceased and how limply her body laid there in front of them. She shook her head and as she bit her lip to the point of slightly noticing the blood coming free, she just barely kept herself from screaming because of how she felt now as she clenched her eyes shut, desperately trying to fight against the waterfall of tears, how hard it may sound, she didn't have time for this, she had to figure out how to stop them, how to stop Kyra and Wes... She would if she had to and could, but if she could save him, get Kyra's damn bitchy influence out of the way, maybe she could reach him...

He couldn't say anything. He just sat their, her hand in his as he looked down at her. Her skin had been ripped, not cut. The dirt in the wounds indicated the woods; the woods where the magic point was. They had tricked her, suckered her into going to the one place she would go to that was isolated, and did this to her. Did they care? Did they think that killing her was worth it? Tears fell off of his face and onto Jace as Ev hung over her, looking down at her with her hand in his. She felt as cold as ice, and shaking so hard. He didn't know what to do. To hold her so she didn't shake, to do a spell. But he couldn't. Jace was ready, but he wasn't. He wasn't ready to lose everything in his life. He didn't want to lose his brothers relationship, his parents. Everything was going to hell and he didn't know what to do anymore. Tears fell down his face, and he just wanted to get up and charge to kill them both, but Jace didn't have long. He knew that much - and he wanted to be there for her.
But she had a plan. It wasn't well thought out, or even if she would surivive the spell to get help, but it is what she wanted to do. He didn't object, he just sobbed and looked down at her. He had never felt so - weak before and helpless. He was supposed to be the circle's leader, and he couldn't feel less then a loser. He just looked into those blue eyes that were dripping with blood, and listened to what she had to say. She had a lot, and she tried her hardest to tell them what she wanted said. To Axel, to Jayla and to Zach. God, Axel will be heart-broken. After all that happened and now his childhood friend is gone. And even Jayla, he best friend. Zach never loved her, and now he never will. Ev didn't know how to feel, but he just nodded to what she wanted. Then it came to them. What she said forced Ev to put a hand to his face as he shook in sobs, looking at Claire and then down to Jace.
What Claire said was true. Tears kept flowing from Ev as he nodded again, when she said 'I love you', Ev couldn't handle it. Holding her hand, he put his other hand to her hair. "I love you! I love you Jace, please - please. Don't go". He whispered to her through sobs, and then felt her release. It was one breath, and it sent through her body. The crackle of energy ensured as power was injected into Ev. He gasped, closing his eyes as he felt himself being filled with it. He could feel the Earth bellow them, feel the wind talking to him, the water in the basement vibrated energy and the fire in Jace's heart then went out. After feeling the power, Ev looked to Claire in amazement. It felt incredible, but then looking down he realized. The shaking had stopped. Jace was dead. Disbelief filled Ev as he sat their, crying and nearly falling to a lay, but kept up. He felt so worthless, but he knew one thing. He would make those two fuckers wish they had never been born, and when the time comes, they would be ready. |

Claire was still mostly sitting there, next to Ev with Jace lying there on the ground, taking in every word she had said. It were her last words, her absolute last words... She couldn't let them go to waste, they had to know, all of them had to know exactly what she had said. She looked at her dead friend lying there and there were all kinds of thoughts going through her head, too much to actually make much sense of it if she was honest. Her eyes trailed off to the books she had dropped on the floor from desperately checking them for something to help Jace and then bit her lip, she felt so useless, she felt like she had failed so badly, the one time she should have known something from all her studying, she didn't!
Claire slowly looked at Ev and bit her lip because she didn't know what to say, so she just moved over a little and put her arms around him, just sitting there for a moment, letting her own tears still streaming and falling down her cheeks as they were with Ev and closing her eyes again. 'Ev... There's nothing we could do...' She eventually said softly after she didn't even know how long exactly as she heard her own voice hitch a little in her throat because she had to say that, because she knew that, but she hated it, she would probably keep on hating herself for quite a while deep within for having failed... But they couldn't let that control them, not if they were to honor her by doing what she wanted, stopping Kyra, and Wes...
She shook her head then and slowly let go of him as she got up and after a last look at Jace turning around and putting a few steps away from it and putting her hand in front of her eyes and closing them again. 'We have to stop them, but we can't do it blindly... We need to figure out how to use these powers,we need to prepare and...' She fell quiet and again shook her head as she realized something the more she thought about it and then slowly turned around, looking at Ev with a desperate look in her eyes with the tears still there. 'But if it comes down to it, if you want to kill them... if we have to... Then let me take Kyra, please... I can't kill him, I can't kill Wes...' She admitted to him honestly and painfully having to say that now, she felt ashamed to even say it, but the more she thought about it, the more she was sure that she wouldn't be able to, and he had to know that, but she of course totally had the exact opposite with Kyra, who right now, at this moment, she would jump at the chance to kill that bitch! If she could she would rip her to shreds!
