The Circle's Secrets |Circle, Selena|

[Everette Jason Evans]

Locking the door after everyone got in, Ev felt a bit nervous. This wasn't just any session with the circle, it was big. It wasn't a subtle or small task they had to do. It was big, and already had Ev spilled the beans. About who he was, about what he had to do and about what he needed the circle to do. Unfortunately the dumbest jock in the world couldn't come, but Jace, Kyra and Claire could make it. They were more important to him anyways. He knew Kyra was down to do anything dangerous, that Jace was more powerful then all of them combined and Claire - Claire would always have his back. Turning, he lead the way through the store, nerves not lessening at all.

''.. So yeah, I have no idea what to do but we have to do something. This Selena chick wants me and my brother's dead and all I know is that she is no match to magic. I need your help''. He had a few ideas. Extracting the powers from her, putting a curse on her like Black Blood or Blood Stone. He wasn't exactly sure, but something they could do is cast a spell to scan Selena's mind, to find her weaknesses and secrets. It was advanced, but who were they if not advanced.

Raising a hand, the door swung open as Ev went to step in. But with that step, his eyes fell upon pure red. Orange feathers covered the floor with red sparks coming off them, a puddle of blood over the floor. His eyes trailed up to a seat, and a blonde in a crimson suit sat their. She smiled up at him, blood over her lips. His eyes went wide. It was Selena, and she had eaten his bird. His jaw dropped. They were now in big trouble. ''S - Selena''.

Demons? She was okay with magic, in a way it had been with her forever. But it isn't exactly easy to be told that a member of your circle and more then that - your friend, is in fact a vampire hunter and is being attacked by some chick who had taken the powers of several different demons. It was a bit uneasy to hear that she has the banshee's scream since, well, her best friend is a banshee. Weird, right? She waited for him to lock the door to Charms N' Thangs before continuing to the back. He really, really needed her help and she was happy too. She had a chock load of magic inside her for some reason, so she was happy to use it.

''It's fine Ev, we're happy to help''. She could speak on behalf of her and Claire, but for Kyra, she wasn't sure. She tried to avoid Kyra and her oppinions as good as she could, but if she would pull out for selfish reasons she wouldn't be surprised. Jace walked beside Ev as they moved towards the door. She suddenly felt the need to stop. Like some kind of negative energy behind the door stopped her in her tracks. She wasn't sure if anyone else could feel it, but she felt sick for some reason. She stared at the door as Ev opened it, but she then stepped forward. ''Hey, wait -''. Looking inside, her eyes were fixed on Selena and the blood splattered on the floor.

She gasped, a hand to her mouth as she looked to Selena. She found her other arm wrapped around Ev's in worry as he looked. It had to be Selena, it just had too. She could feel it. ''Oh my god''. To her side, she could see something else. A transparent aura-being to the side, wearing all black and was identical to Selena in facial looks. It wasn't real, she could tell. Kind of like some kind of astral projection or a imaginary being. She couldn't stop looking at her, but then drove her attention back to the demon at hand.

[kyra Pandora Chambelain]

Yes, it was official, Everette was trying to ruin her life. She sighed, as she made her way into Charms N Thangs, already bored of what was likely to come. She was sure it was "theres a new evil! Vampires are reigning havok on all of Los Angeles!" Seriously, they had enough of their own problems, without having to deal with his as well. Also, where was Everette when she was in trouble with a vampire? She understood they were important and could potential destroy the city, but still, she had a boyfriend, she had powers to gain and she had shopping. She understood Everette wouldn't understand these things, but they were just as important! Well, maybe not, but she was aloud to be a little selfish too and enjoy herself.

She sighed softly as he spoke. "Once again, its all about you and "your brothers." Aren't you guys supposed to be so great that you can just handle this all on your own? I thought we were a magical circle, not crime stoppers for the supernatural. We don't have this whole destiny thing, you do. It was okay helping you with that little location spell, but going up against this Selena Chick who makes vampires look like cute little puppy dogs? Are you kidding me? Are the rest of you just going to raise your hands and march with him right to your deaths?" She shot them all a look as she questioned them, wondering if they actually had any sanity in those thick heads of theirs. They would probably take Everette's side, like they always did. It was only because Everette liked to take charge while her boyfriend wasn't here.

She cringed her eyes at Jacinta. "Seriously? Well seeing as you seem to have more power than all of us combined, I guess the two of you can do this all by yourself or something. Meanwhile, I'll help by not getting myself killed." Maybe she was being unhelpful, but she wanted to live! It wasn't her time to die, least of all to a crazy psycho bitch. It seemed she thought too soon, as soon a woman appeared, and Kyra's jaw dropped in horror as she looked at the woman, realizing just how intimidating she looked with the blood over her face. But she had awesome shoes!

Jacinta was freaking out, Everette was in awe, but she wasn't sure why. She glanced at the other members of the circle, then over at Selena. "Um, who invited this chick to the party? Look, the shop is upstairs, not down here...So why don't you just go back up there, kinda in the middle of something. Wait, Ev, isn't that your bird in her mouth? She knows its buy first, eat later right?" She then heard Everette refer to the woman as Selena. "Oh....So your Selena. Did I mention what awesome shoes you are wearing? Are they versache?" She put her head down in shame as she stepped back slowly, closer to Everette. "Ev...Where are your brothers? You know...The ones who are meant to fight against this woman, not us..."

[Claire Diastone]

When Claire was inside too she put a few steps away from the door, then turned half toward Ev and the door to wait for him to lock it before she accompanied him, Jace and Kyra to the back of the store while pulling the sleeve of her vest down some more to conceal the bandage still there from the attack she had been through, but luckily everything else was as good as healed, so that event didn't have to come up, especially because this was about Ev and helping him, and of course she would do that, no matter what.

'Jace is right, of course we'll help you. I just hope that we can come up with one Hell of a plan for what you're talking about.' Claire said honestly as she gave Everette a friendly reassuring look that he didn't have to worry about that before she thought of something and quickly threw a glance at Kyra before looking back in front of her. 'At least I can say that for almost all of us.' She mumbled that softly mostly to herself. But as soon as she had said that Kyra started, or more rambling in Claire's annoyed opinion, how it was all about Ev and how it actually seemed to come down that she thought this was crazy and asked them if they were actually going to just help him and go to their deaths. She could just almost strangle her sometimes, for multiple reasons even, but luckily she still had good self-control to focus on the task at hand so she kept it in to say anything too.

But just as Claire was about to at least make one comment on how Kyra also said that because Jace was more powerful than all of them combined and to leave it up to her, her eyes fell on Selena too and stopped in her tracks next to the others while she couldn't help but feel somewhat sick when she realized where the blood was from and the other stuff on the floor and thus what this crazy woman had done. As she swallowed once, also in a sort of attempt to gather every bit of courage she had and put an as believable poker face expression on her face as she could, while feeling relieved, only for a second, when her sick feeling at least dissipated, until it returned for s short moment because of how Kyra reacted to it being the bird that she had eaten, and then starting about her damn shoes. Just typical, we have a psycho killer maniac chick in our midst that apparently has an appetite for innocent birds, and who knows how much more bigger trouble than at first, and she notices the shoes! Went through her head before shaking it off, no time to stay annoyed by Kyra right now.

'So that's Selena? She looks a lot creepier than I had imagined..' Claire asked and said softly, which said a lot because she could still have quite a lively fantasy. Still as she put a step closer toward Ev too in an automatic response, the question that Kyra asked then to Ev seemed like a very good choice at the moment for once, because it was honestly a question that was going through her mind a couple of times as she could almost literally feel the adrenaline spreading more and more through her body with a lot of nervousness, even though she was still working pretty hard on keeping that hidden. 'So much for coming up with a good plan..' She mumbled before biting her lip, swallowing again and only partially looking next to her at Ev. 'So any other ideas?' She asked a bit more quiet than the volume she was talking before.

[charchar]

Hhmm, crispy. Selena was literally picking her teeth with its bones. Eating a phoenix was very very riviting. No wonder they call it Chicken Wing, maybe adding crispy to the end. Tossing the bone to the ground, she looked down at the beautiful mess she had made. The blood, the feathers, the bones and the horridness. It was amazing. Flames coursed through her body, but wondered what fun power she would develop. Breathing fire? Pyrokinetics? Would she be able to friggin fly? She wondered with her legs crossed. Everette was the one that she wanted, it was enough magic for her to do what she had planned. Maybe it would. There is no exact estimate to the power needed. It just had to be powerful and pure, so she had all hopes for this. She even had some unknown power to use on him.

When she heard the front door close and voices, she smiled widely. He wasn't alone, which meant more fun for her. Waiting patiently, she saw the door shoot open as four people came in. It was Everette and three girls, who seemed very shocked to see her. All of them did. The pain in Everette's eyes at the sight of the remains of his dead bird, the shock of the small blonde one, the worry of another and some spunk from the honey colored one. Selena had to admit; she liked her. She sat in a superficial manner, watching the girl ramble until Ev spoke her name. They had all heard of her obviously as the honey asked about her shoes. She couldn't help but roll her eyes. ''They're Jimmy's sweetie''. The others seemed worried, asking for a plan. Selena laughed as she stood up.

''Try this -''. Sending a long swing of her arm across them, she telekinetically sent a burst of power at them. It had intentions to send them soaring as she finished, laughing loudly in a devilish cackle. This couldn't be better, having four possible witches with her, in her grasp. It was amazing, and walking forwards, she wanted to look to see what kind of glorious mess she had made.

[Everette Jason Evans]

From what was behind the door underminded how pissed off Kyra was making him. Her oppinionated and selfish nature was definitely showing through as she attacked him and Jace. Jace was a cute and powerful girl, but even she didn't deserve the disrespect Kyra was giving her. That is majority of what pushed him but he bit his tongue. Even though if what she said was kind of right, even though not surprisingly Jace and Claire backed him up. He was grateful for that. But behind his door was something too soon, to inconvenient on timing. He was frozen, unable to do anything but look at the remains of his bird, and the demon on the chair. The only one that kept constantly talking was Kyra, which was kind of annoying.

They all looked to Ev for a plan, but he had nothing. Run? Run maybe, like as fast as they could. They weren't ready for this, no plan had been made. He went to open his mouth, but stopped for a second, but didn't take her eyes off of Selena. Then suddenly, as she stood, she waved a hand. It was like an explosion of power that hit him as he shot backwards. Flying through the air, he didn't know what was happening. Ev smashed through a magical history book case, feeling himself smash through wood and literature as he fell to the ground. Landing on wood, he groaned in pain. Five seconds and she had knocked them down as Ev looked up at the doorway, seeing Selena.

''Back off!''. Raising a hand, the presence of a temporary invisible field blocked Selena in her steps for just a few seconds, finding it hard to withhold the magic by himself. It was strong, but without the help of the others it could be stronger. Feeling a cut across his face, he got up slowly, stepping on broken wood to stand up properly, looking at the demon. ''Piss of Selena, but you regret it''. He wasn't sure if threats were going to help them or make her madder, but let's just see.

[wickedmagik]

Fashionably late as always, Wes made it to Charms N' Thangs shortly after everyone else did to find the door was locked. Sighing at his own misfortune, he concentrated on the locking mechanism, projecting his telekinesis inside of the lock. With a soft click, the door unlocked for him, a smirk spread across his lips as he entered the shop. That was a trick he would have to remember, he could think of many uses for it. His glee was short lived however as he was hit with the overwhelming sensation that something was incredibly wrong. Making his way back to where they usually had their sessions, he was just in time to hear the crashing sounds. 'Great, they're messing up on a spell again.' he thought as he came to the open door.

At a first glance it did look like a malfunctioning spell that had backfired, until his eyes came to rest on a lady in a red suit. Wes was a bit out of the loop here, but anyone that threatened to hurt -his- people was bad news. No one seemed too badly hurt, aside from scrapes so far, so at the very least his appearance here had been lucky in it's timing. "What the hell is going on here!?" he shouted to Ev, feeling some sort of magical energy in the air. Wes didn't even wait for all the facts, that was pretty classic for him when his temper was fed into. Making a pulling motion with his arm, he would attempt to drag the chair near the woman in red into her, at least distracting her.

Wasting no time at all, Wes rushed to Ev, offering his own power to whatever spell was cast. Assuming that since Ev was up first, the faint shimmer of magic in the air was coming from him. He had a bone to pick with Ev, just assuming that whatever this was that it had something to do with him. "So you want to fill me in on what's going on here? Or should I just assume it's probably your fault as always?" he spat, his irritation made bluntly obvious. Anyone that hurt his friends here was going to have to pay their pound of flesh, especially for attempting to hurt Kyra.

"Got a plan or do I have to cover you as always Ev?" he asked, sparing a quick glance over towards Kyra.

[Claire Diastone]

The first reaction from Claire when Selena started talking was roll with her eyes to the remark about what kind of shoes it were and shook her head with it, trying her best to keep it in what was trembling on her lips to blurt out to this crazy chick. 'Yes yes, shoes, very important.' She eventually kept most of it in and tried mumbling quietly so it wasn't too obviously heard, hopefully especially not for Selena, Claire would gladly put herself on the line to save the rest, well... Apart from Kyra maybe, but even her she didn't actually want to see get hurt, she herself was too kind for that, damn it. Anyway, so she hoped Selena didn't hear it, before she would do something specific to her or something.

Just like Ev, and probably the others too, Claire didn't have any time to react to the long swing of Selena's arm after saying to "try this" and instantly she felt the powerful invisible blow against her body, flying backwards just like Ev but unlike him she just flew against the wall and knocked her head slightly backwards against it, having to shake her head and blink a few times to see everything straight again, but luckily she didn't seem to have gotten anything permanently damaged from it. Her eyes flew to Everette who got up and the temporary invisible field that he put up to block Selena. She pushed herself up and away from the wall, wanting to get to her friend and help him, at least already giving him some of her power to keep the field stronger, but suddenly hissed and closed her eyes as she felt how her sleeve and bandage with the cut under it got caught behind something sharp and she slightly tore her sleeve and the bandage.

As she quickly put her hand to it, trying to at least get the bandage better again, not wanting to get a trouble with that anyway after being happy that she had hidden it. She was just about to make an attempt to get up again her attention was drawn for a moment by a very familiar voice to her and once she looked up from her place against the wall on the ground, she saw Wesley that had apparently arrived too and clearly had no idea what he had walked into. 'Evil crazy bitch that has gotten herself powers! Claire said as she pointed toward Selena for a moment before getting up as she had planned.

Before she had gotten the chance Wes had at least reacted good by joining Ev already as the rest of them were still recovering from the sudden telekinetic wave just a small amount of minutes ago and then once she was completely up, she quickly made her way to the two of them too, concentrating as good as she could with the slight buzzing in her head from the bump just now, but luckily quickly enough succeeding in finally also offering her power to assist Ev with the field. She threw for as far as that worked with focusing her power toward Ev and then at Wes and back at Ev for a moment because of Wesley's question again about what was going on and his question if it was Ev's fault again. She bit his lip, finding it unfair, especially now, to ask it that way, but because it was Wes... She couldn't really get herself to say anything to either of them, not wanting to choose sides, especially not now.

Claire wasn't surprised of course when she saw how Wes quickly looked at Kyra, but still didn't really give her much attention, but like always she just let that flow over her and not make a problem out of it, even though it felt crap for her every single time. 'For one we can't just keep standing here and staying on the defense, not with her!' She said then to Wes's question to Ev about if he had a plan or if he had to cover him like always. It was the best she could come up with for now, but with how strange, evil and powerful apparently Selena seemed, she couldn't figure out a way that wouldn't open them up more vulnerable again with a very good chance of failure, even as she was sifting through her memory of all the books about witchcraft and magic she had read. Damn it! Why can't I think of anything? With all those knowledge, there has to be something.. She thought annoyed at herself.

[kyra Pandora Chambelain]

She rolled her eyes back at the woman. Who did she think she was? Just because she was some powerful being, didn't make her any cooler or hip than them. Because she wasn't. Like, who wears red suits these days? That was a fashion no-no in itself. And she didn't even want to get started on this woman's hair. "I guess even super-powered demons can't get it right all the time," He muttered softly towards the woman as she turned to the others, hoping they had some kind of plan. And she did have a plan. As inappropriate as her fashion talk might be, this woman was obviously very superficial of her looks, wearing expensive clothes, tacky or not, which meant that taking her down a peg or two in the fashion department could always hurt her in some way. Or distract her, while they all run like crazy. Could they even run from her?

Before she could put the running idea to the test, the woman had waved her arm and she felt a strong telekinetic force push her back, sending her into a wall nearby. Ouch! She couldn't deny the fact that this woman had some serious power, but where did she get such strong powers from, she wondered. Kyra got back to her feet slowly, noticing that Everette had taken it upon himself to defensively create a forcefield to try and use against her, but it seemed like Selena was too powerful. Claire soon helped, and then to her surprise, Wesley had arrived! She felt more happy now, knowing he was here. But at the same time, running in on a crazy psycho bitch wasn't a relief if she decided to go after him too. The three of them seemed to be struggling with the shield, and her going in and helping wasn't going to do much. Sure, it might keep Selena from getting to them, but how long would it last? And what point would it serve?

She eyed Selena sternly as she walked foward, shielding herself from her with the other's shield. "Shame those shoes weren't gucci, because I've heard Jimmy's don't play well with fire..." She grinned softly as she focused on the woman's shoes, which soon begun burning up with flames. Sure, it might not hurt her, but it would distract her long enough for them to make a plan, and it would be pretty funny as well, too. She shot a look towards Wesley, smiling softly, hoping he at least had some kind of plan for tackling this woman.

[char]

Kyra just couldn't help it. Jace made sure she kept her mouth shut as she went on about a negative view towards Ev's intentions. She managed to bite her tongue about that. But when she turned to her, being snide and crap, Jace turned to her with a look of irritation and general expression to show Jace's inability to understand her. ''Kyra, seriously? We are a circle, we stick by each other. Let's just say that you and Wes are definitely a match made in heaven''. Jace sighed and continued walking by Ev and Claire, who seem to be the only one's in the circle with a solid head on their shoulders. But they were spun from what was behind the door.

Jace couldn't believe this. Her jaw was stuck shut, she couldn't stop as she clutched to Ev's arm. He was as struck as her, but Kyra was open towards her disrespect for all authority especially when it was directed towards the queen of all freaky demons. Jace hadn't seen a demon before, maybe a vampire and witch hunters but this was definitely something else. Something ultimate. When she waved her hand, it seemed that Ev and Jace were the only ones to be sent out of the room, into the shop. She heard Ev's crash, but experienced her own. She screamed loud as she flew face first and into the glass casing on the counter. She fell to the floor with glass stuck in her forearms and a large laseration down her hairline. In a blurred daze, she rolled on the glass covered ground, laying on her back as she groaned in pain and watched what happened. Not in front of her though, she was in a different room, but with her minds eye.

Jace was in pain, but she tried to look passed that. Breathing calmly, a stray tear rolling down her cheek, she tried to focus for her friends. She tried to focus for her circle. She could feel the power of the four witches melding together into a powerful field. It was really really strong, strong enough to bust a car. All it needed is to be melded, and Jace concentrating. Closing her eyes, she focused her energy into the room. She just wanted to say sorry to Selena, because she was going to crush the bitch. She felt Kyra's magic flair flames from the demon's shoes, and used it as her own. It was an amazing feeling of - domination. So she dominated. ''Circle's power flares in four, spherical fields when added one more''. The sheild bended towards Selena, containing her in a field of strong magic. Jace wasn't feeling weak though, she was strong.

Taking another breath, she added power to the flames. They rose over the walls of the ball, attacking Selena. That was the easy part, now it was time to compress. This wasn't like the storm in the alley, that wasn't Jace controlling it. It was something else. But she had full power over what was happening, and she was content on crushing this demon into nothing. ''Crush her''. The walls moved in on the demon, closer and closer. ''Matter not matter, broken to bits!''. She screamed as they went in on Selena, the walls gaining more power. She grunted, concentrating on the power. It was strong, getting stronger. Until - it stopped.....

[charchar]

Why drink one witches power when you can have four? Especially Kyra, she had spunk. She was game enough to disrespect her, it took guts. She spoke to her, trying to sass her. Selena gave her an not amused glare as she blinked slowly at her, and the dark blonde seemed intimidated. Ev was shitting himself which even made Angel laugh. Selena gave her a glance as the dark figure leant against an old table laughing her head off. At least she was having fun too. When she waved her arm, shooting this coven back with all of her might, she hadn't had such satisfaction all day. Two girls hit the wall while Everette and a blonde girl smashed inside the shop. The sound of breaking glass and snapping wood made her smile, and she laughed loudly as they rose. It was amazing.

A hunk then came in, obviously the fifth member of the circle. It was magical. Five witches at her disposal, what could be better. ''Who are you baby?''. She smiled as she took a step towards her, her jimmy's stomping down. She was ready to rumble totally, and it was really exciting to try and see what these witches had instal. First it was Ev. She went to step, but a barrier stopped her. She could feel it in front of her, stopping her from moving towards them. When she saw his blood, she was amazed she wasn't drooling. But he wasn't just the one doing the spell. The hunk, the timid blonde and the honey head stepped in. She wanted to move, her hands touching this force as she tried to push passed. Hmm, they were strong. But not strong enough. ''Children, you have no idea what you are dealing with''. Grunting, she sent a punch into the field, light shining as her fist hit the barrier, damaging it. It was a start at least. Kyra decided to light her shoes on fire, and Selena was a bit worried as she looked down at the shoes burning on her. But - it wasn't hurting. Even though it surprisingly wasn't effecting her at all, she was in trouble. She had underestimated them, especially the blonde.

The field grew stronger, she could feel it. It wasn't an invisible force anymore, it glowed white. Selena was definitely not happy now. The sheild then bent around her as she looked around worried, the field being bound around her. She went to step back, but it didn't work. It was a magical bubble that she wasn't sure she could escape. She elbowed the field, stomped and bashed it to make it open. But minotaur strength wasn't going to cut it. Then the flame flared on her, burning up her skin and suit. She worried as the bubble was filled with fire, covering her. She tried to fight it but she couldn't. She she decided, to open her mouth . . . And scream.

Dark red sound waves shot against the field, against the flames and at all her might. As they built up, Selena standing and screaming against the field it got bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It burst. Flames shot through the air, the magic splitting as the bubble disappeared in a hue of light. Selena stood with her suit falling off her body in sticky ass. Her shoes were barely on her feet. They hung off, soot over her skin in large patches as she glared at them with evil eyes. ''Anything else kids. Come on, I like it rough. Oh, and just so you fuckers know, I ate a phoenix. I'm fire proof''. Selena nearly fell over in laughter as she cacked up, hands to her knees in hysteria. Dirty tears came down her face. Not in pain necessarily, but in a mix of emotions. She is insane after all, but as she opened her mouth towards the four in the room, she screamed at them. The banshee's scream, so you better watch out.

[Everette Jason Evans]

Kya must have been the least intimidating and most irritating witch in all the land. She kept being a smartass towards Selena which was like egging on a lion and attempting to play tag with it. He didn't say anything but just looked at the demon as she rose. Claire was freaking out a bit too, and all four witches encountered pain from the attack.

His solo field had stopped her for a second but it wasn't strong enough. Then, Wes came in. He wasn't sure if he was relieved or annoyed that he was, but if he could help then Ev was happy. Except for how annoying he was being, blurting out crap and trying to snidely direct all the blame onto Ev. ''Back off Wes''. He seriously wanted to punch Wes in the face but he couldn't. Wes, Claire and Kyra were helping with the barrier, making it heaps more stronger against Selena. But where was Jace? She wasn't in the room. Ev was worried, she could be dead or badly hurt, bleeding and unable to scream for help. But before he could even take a step to go out and get her, he could feel her presence. It was magic, and it was strong. He held his hand up at the field, keeping it strong and holding as other magic took over. Jace really was powerful because she had turned the field into a cage and set Selena alight, now attemtping to crush her. Jace's power was purely amazing. He could hear her screaming the spell from the neighbouring room, smiling slightly. Good girl. But the spell didn't hold up for long.

Ev covered his face as fire errupted from the bubble. Looking back cautiously, he saw Selena standing and covered in soot. She was severely pissed and messed up now, and actually scaring Ev and creeping him out. ''What the hell?''. He looked to Wes, then to Claire as Selena got ready. She screamed, and Ev's hands shot up to his ears, clutching them in pain from the sound. But then the waves came, red powerful sound waves that hit him. Ev felt himself being hit back by wave after wave after wave, hitting the wall. It hurt all over, and magic couldn't get him out of this one, or his circle. ''Ahh..... JACE!''.

[wickedmagik]

Fire and destruction was everywhere, this was definitely beyond anything he had signed up for. Just like any sane person everything inside of him told him to turn tail and run. Even if he didn't always get along with everyone here however, they were his friends, brothers, and sisters. Jacinta had it right, even if he didn't like how she said it, but that was a matter for another time. They were a circle, whatever happened they were only getting out of this mess together, divided they would die. It was disorienting trying to keep up with it all, it frustrated him to feel this way.

Much like Ev however he was incredibly surprised with Jace's raw power, she had taken the shield that Ev created and turned it into a killing zone. Even better, she amplified the fire created by Kyra, which he thought would be enough. When it came to Everette however he shouldn't have been so surprised when the woman before them managed to shatter the bubble, throwing fire all over the place. Shielding his face from the blast on instinct, Wes peeked over his arms to see that the woman before them had only taken damage on the surface, otherwise she seemed fine.

"Ev.. wha exactly did do? This is nu-" he started, but the sound was intense. It felt like his bones were rattling from the intensity of the sound, whatever she was it was far beyond them. Covering his ears and falling to his knees, Wes tried his best to stay concious through the assault, looking around the room to launch into her open mouth. It took every ounce of his power to keep a clear enough head to even see it, but a large broken piece of wood laid just to the right of him from where Ev had smashed into the shelves.

"S-shut up.." he muttered as he waved his hand, sending the sharp wooden plank directly at the woman in reds face. After that he collapsed to his hands and knees, blood coming out of his ears. All he could think about was how crappy this was, he was about to die and he had accomplished what? He refused to let it all end like this, he was too stubborn to let this woman beat them. "From your chin to your toes, a mute silence grows.." he muttered under his breath, his shoddy attempt at a spell to mute her. Hopefully they would catch on to his intent, making the spell that much stronger.

[Claire Diastone]

While Claire was still concentrating on the shield she was helping Ev with together with some of the others, she couldn't help but look somewhat with wide eyes as to the rest that was happening. Kyra putting Selena's shoes on fire but then Jace especially showing just how powerful she actually she was. She couldn't help but bite her lip at the same time, because of the situation but also because it also scared a part of her to see how Jace was also using Kyra's flames to help with crushing Selena and for a moment as she heard Selena scream eventually she thought they might actually have luck and won...

But soon enough Claire watched as Selena managed to burst the bubble and even though there was obvious superficial damage, it was obvious that in the grand scheme of things, especially now, it was nothing and that only made Claire's stomach turn in more worry but also getting more and more pissed at the same time because of it, she totally wasn't planning on dying or letting any of the others die! She had turned her face with an arm in front of it quickly as the bubble bursted and even though closing her eyes at first, quickly opened them to cautiously peeking over her arm to look again.

Then she looked next to her to Ev as he first looked at Wes and then at her. 'That's obviously-' But before she could actually finish it Claire felt the intense pain go through her ears and instantly brought her hands to them to cover and press to them as good as possible as she shot her eyes for a moment and let out a scream for a moment. 'I hate this freaking bitch! You hear me bitch!?' She then yelled in anger and some desperation before opening her eyes to see at least something not as clear as she had hoped with the pain through her head, but thus at least something flying through the air which then made her decide to focus and try to at least throw some things with telekinesis at Selena to try and stop her.

Still after a few waves to a few things in the room and in the other she heard move but didn't get to see if they were actually hitting their target of the creepy woman she had to stop her attempts. Claire let out a painful sound again before she completely lost her balance from the wall she was leaning desperately against for it. As her legs shook she fell to the ground front first. As she lay there feeling sick again because of the pain and getting dizzier but keeping her hands to her ears she suddenly felt her heart jump as some sort of sign that she noticed something and thought that it was a miracle that she could make out that someone in the room was saying and attempting a spell to mute the Banshee screaming woman.

When her brain had figured out at almost light speed what exactly she had heard she concentrated to help with the spell, trying to ignore the pain as good as possible, which wasn't much. 'From your chin to your toes, a mute silence grows... From your chin to your toes, a mute silence grows! She had said the first time pretty softly, so she focused to just say it again more determined and loud as possible for some reasons right now hoping it would have more effect and that the others would notice if if they hadn't already.

Okay, it was now official; this unfashionable bitch was getting it. She had broke her heel with that whole irritating scream thing. If she didn't already think this woman was sexually frustrated, she did after hearing; and feeling, that vicious banshee-like scream. She thudded into the wall, frowning as the heel on her shoe had snapped. She looked up angrily, but it didn't last long as the screaming was piercing her eyes and she felt like she was going to die just from the impact of that. Ever have one of those bad ear aches? This was like an ear-frickan migrane or something! She was surprised that her brain hadn't already exploded within her head yet, or her eyes hadn't bled her to death. This crazy bitch just kept dishing out these unstoppable powers, what were they possibly able to do?

She looked over at Wesley, who seemed to be doing some kind of chant. She couldn't hear anything, but she could see that he was muttering something. She moved over to him as quickly as she could under the circumstances, and held his hand firmly and begun chanting as well, not sure what he was trying to do exactly, but trusting her instincts. She begun screaming the chant, just to hear herself speak over the echoing noise of this screaming maniac woman. "FROM YOUR CHIN TO YOUR TOES...A MUTE SILENCE GROWS! FROM YOUR CHIN TO YOUR TOES A MUTE SILENCE GROWS!" She continued repeating the chant, feeling pain in her throat from how loudly she was screaming, though it seemed like only a whisper under the screaming force.

It was then that she realized, this wasn't going to work. Jace had dished out that amazing amplifying power which amplified all of their attempts at destroying her, she managed to escape fire, what else! What were they supposed to do to defeat this woman, did her power even drain?
