Part 8

Adele: "It would help if you could...besides, you owe it to me."

Adele paced up and down in the ladies restroom again, her mobile to her ear and her tone of voice stern and aggitated. Once more she was talking to the creature whom had plotted Iraxx's death and once again she showed him little respect by dropping the 'sir' at the end of the sentence.

Being: "Adele, it was not our fault we were mis-informed. That Iraxx can handle himself better than you so told..."

His voice was low and gruff and he spoke menacingly, as if Adele was really trying his patience.

Adele: "I understand that, but maybe if you sent something powerfuller after him, i wouldn't be in this position to begin with..."

Being: "Don't get above yourself, girl. I don't need you as much as you think...and i am more than willing to devour your Soul and sacrifice everything to have you feel you can talk to be in such a way that is highly disrespectful..."

This shut Adele up somewhat and she slowed her pace to a gentle walk and lightened her tone of voice.

Adele: "Fine...but it's not as if i'm asking alot...all i want is a location..."

There was some distant speaking from the other end of the phone, possibly another creature. Moments later the being spoke again.

Being: "Bascium tells me they're residing in a Motel directly opposite the Club Cafe. Number 312. I hope for your sake you know what you're doing, Adele..."

The phoneline went dead and Adele was left contemplating the last words of her employer. Shaking the thoughts of 'what could go wrong' out of her head she placed her mobile in her jacket, exited the restroom and walked towards the Reception desk.

Adele: "Hi Cash, i was just wondering if you wouldn't mind passing on a message to the Council, just to basically say i'm just going out to check a lead and that i'll be back in, hmm...say 10-15 minutes. That ok?"

The Receptionist nodded and picked up the black phone that automaticly contacted the Council, as she did this Adele quickly turned away and began walking towards the exit, her heels clicking on the floor like a Devils hooves on Hells Brimstone.

*Setting: The slow, gentle breathing of her partner slowly soothed and relaxed her. Midian was resting on the bed, her head on Alexie's chest as they both shared a 'moment' together. The past 32 hours had taken alot out of her and although her magickal abilities were powerfuller than they once was, she knew the consequences were closing in. And with that thought in mind, knew she had to tone down her abilities abit...and that, in itself, would be hard. Especially since their plan was just getting going.
*Knock on door*
Midian raised her head slowly and turned to the door, she yawned and looked at Alexie who was slowly opening his eyes. Usually they didn't get disturbed and were left alone to their own devices, so this sudden interest in them made them very weary.*


Alexie: "Who is it!?"

He slowly stood up and called out as he neared the door. He was practicly naked aside from a pair of black boxers and thus was reluctant to answer it.

Voice: "Can i come in? I would like to...discuss something with you both."

The voice was female which threw them even more since the Motel owner was a, single, male. Turning to his lover, Alexie shrugged, not knowing what to do. Mouthing the words 'open it slightly' she moved towards to were the window once was. Since she had gotten the bag of Eternity crystals, Midian had to take extra precautions and majickly brick-up the window which, obviously, caused problems. Unlocking the latch and slowly pulling the door open, Alexie poked his head through the slight gap and looked at the female in question. Adele.

Adele: "Alexie Craine, i assume. May i come in? I have some information that may prove valuable to your...cause."

Alexie: "Who the Hell are you? And how the f*ck do you know my name."

He opened the door more and in doing so was pushed back by the female Orkhid who, once inside, quickly slammed the door behind her. Snarling Midian stepped forwards and grasped Adele's throat, shoved her into the wall and gently lifted her a couple of cm's off the floor.

Midian: "Well...answer him."

Scratching and tugging at Midians wrist and arm, Adele attempted to get the female off her. Easing her grip, though not through Adele's resistance, Midian glared at her, and waited for an explanation.

Adele: "My name's Adele Morgan and i know your name due to that little stunt you pulled with Doctor Corz's son...it was a, bad move, to say the least."

Midian: "So you've come here to take him out? Well, i bet me being here has put a dent in your plans, eh?"

Trying to refrain from using any magick, Midian concentrated on getting to the bottom of the problem...without *delving.

Adele: "No, actually. We knew you and Alexie were working together...which is why i've come to make you an offer."

Now letting go of the Orkhid's throat altogether, Midian backed away. Alexie was still stood near the door, bracing himself for Soldiers to break through and start shooting.

Midian: "What...How could you know about me? And what would the Council want to off..."

Adele: "Not the Council. Me."

Interrupting, Adele spoke confidently whilst rubbing her throat.

Midian: "You said 'we knew' me and Alexie were together. Who's the 'we'? And how did you know?"

Adele: "Yyyes. Well, the people i'm working for, are...lets just say...different to you or i. They prefare to remain annonymous for one. And to answer your second question...we have...lets say, intuition. We know when there's more than one person involved..."

A spark of red electricity jumped from Midian's index finger to her second finger, upon feeling this she quickly grasped the hand that did so and held it close to her. Not taking her eyes of Adele.

Midian: "Ok...so, the offer?"

Adele: "Oh, its simple really. When you go and kill the remaining Scientists, Doctors and other medical personel who were involved with Alexie...dispose of somebody else...Commandor Elsiben Iraxx."

As she spoke this sentence and stated about Alexie, Midian shifted uneasily and glanced up at him. His face was full of puzzlement and as he opened his mouth to querie her statement, Midian quickly butted in.

Midian: "What does he look like and where will he be??"

Reaching into her black suit jacket, she then produced a large brown envelope and handed it to Midian.

Adele: "Inside is a photograph of him and a detailed description of his past. He'll be waiting for your arrival...at the missile bunker circled on the map included in the envelope. Thats also where all your next victims will be. When you kill him, do it...painfully."

As Midian slowly opened the package, Alexie took his chance to ask his question, much to Midian's fear.

Alexie: "You said...You said when we go and kill the medical personel involved with me...what...what do you mean?"

Midian's Heart skipped a beat and before she could interrupt with a loosely thought out statement, Adele replied.

Adele: "Well, i'm assuming you've killed all the people you have due to the torture they put you through as a child. Am i wrong?"

Her face was full of confusion now as she asked for confirmation about her previous guesses on motivation. But as she watched she noticed the males pupils expand...his eyes began to well up and he became increasingly unstable on his feet. Within moments of this happening Midian raised her right palm to his left temple which emitted a strand of white energy into it and directly into his brain. He juttered on the spot, not realising what was happening. His hands clenched and unclenched and his voice mumbled random words. Her worst fear had nearly come true, he had been vaguely reminded of his past and slowly the memories were beginning to return. This, would not only cause great distress to him, but a great inbalance in the natural way of things. Potentially killing him. Breathing through gritted teeth Midian noticed the hand she was using was slowly becoming paler...but it didn't matter...she had to save Alexie...she wouldn't be able to live with herself if he died due to her.
*Vroosh*
The sound came as the process finished and Alexie fell into the wall, unconcious. She had taken his memories from him again, felt the pain...again. Saw the violation he incurred...again. Her head snapped to Adele and a low, sinister growl came from her vocal cords.

Midian: "You bitch...you lying bitch. You've been sent here to kill us...you were going to kill him...YOU F*CKING WHORE!!"

Her voice was deep and inhuman. Electricity jumped from her bottom teeth to her top teeth as she spoke and her eyes were completly black once more.

Adele: "N-No...No...i-i didn't know...h-how could i know?!? He was killing...i thought it was revenge!!"

Midian: "It is...the only difference being i have taken the memories from his past away from him, but left him with the desire for revenge...he thinks the creatures we're taking revenge upon tortured me...it was better that way...but YOU nearly f*cked it all up..."

Her left hand shot out and grasped Adele's throat once more, knowing she was in real danger the female kicked out, her heels scratching Midian's legs and thighs, but to no avail.

Midian: "Let's find out the truth...shall we?"

Adele's eyes widened as she watched Midian's right hand slap down on her forhead, palm down. Within seconds a blast of light was coming from it and Adele could feel her memories being extracted and placed back, like somebody flicking through random magazines in a hurry. Her eyes rolled into the back of her skull, revealing the whites. Drool seeped from the sides of her mouth and her kicks became less and less hard. Feeling her energy slowly drain as the delving took place, Adele searched her right jacket pocket hurridly. Her hand patted around inside until finally she found what she wanted. Clasping her hands around a small, round, blue rock she quickly pulled it out and pointed it at Midian's stomach. So wrapped up with viewing Adele's memories and discovering what she knew Midian didn't realise what her victim was doing until the last minute when a blast of heavenly-blue light and energy blasted from the rock and into her, sending her sailing through the air and into the small chest of drawers on the other side of the room. Without the support of Midian's grasp, Adele's legs quickly gave way and she collapsed to the ground, coughing and sputtering.

Midian: "A Protection rock...heh...its got quite a kick to it..."

Strands of black hair fell infront of Adele's face as she slowly looked up and snarled at the relativly powerful being.

Adele: "You...*Cough*...Insane...bitch..."

As she finished this statement a vicious bark came from Midian and she rose her hand right hand in the air, formed a ball of burning red fire and hurled it at the injured female who quickly held the rock up infront of her, which quickly formed a barriar of energy, causing the flame to extinguish itself as it neared.

Midian: "I'm not surprised, though. The fact you're allied with a Vorlone is explanation...enough."

She rubbed her stomach as she stated the last word, as if pained by something. The stomach section of her silk dress was scorched black, giving a vague insight to how her stomach would look.

Adele: "Well...do you...believe...i'm trustworthy now?"

She slowly pushed herself to her feet, still grasping the small rock. Her answer was a weak nod from the other female.

Adele: "And...i can trust you...will deal with...him?"

Midian: "In the most painfullest way ever..."

Her eyes gently resumed to their natural, ruby red, state as she spoke and a gentle smile crossed her face. She was weak however and couldn't be bothered to move. Watching as Adele straightened herself out and reached for the door, she realised she had forgotten a small detail and called out.

Midian: "If i kill him...i want something in return..."

Turning Adele looked at her.

Adele: "What?"

Midian: "I want the process to be reversed...I don't want to... turn..."

Adele gently nodded, knowing exactly what the female requested.

Adele: "I'll get them to look into it..."

And with that, she exited...

{*Delving - A process in which a creature delves into the mind of another by using majick or its own, natural, abilities.}

(OOC: A comment would be appreciated round about...well...say, now.)
