Chas couldn't help but chuckle at Serena's remark, he kept ahold of her as he got her into an alcove in the alleyway and kept her safe whilst Kay and John took care of the demon. "don't worry about that now, just try and stay awake for me so I know you're okay" he told her, his paternal side coming into play. He quickly shuffled out of his jacket and wrapped it round Serena to try and keep her warm, keeping a firm but not painful hold on her as he looked out at John and Kay. He watched on as John stood in front of Kay, before starting to open the portal to Hell to send it back. Kay looked at John and nodded one firm nod before glancing back at the demon and ignited her hands once more, blasting the demon toward the portal as hard as she could, making it fall into the portal with great resistance and some last words, "Hell will have her John! She'll be The First's weapon!!" before he disappeared.

Kay extinguished her hands and was breathing slightly heavy from being worn out. She was still new to what she was capable of power wise and it was taking a lot out of her. Yet the demons words haunted her massively. "w...what did he mean by I'll be The First's weapon?" she asked John. She didn't want to be anyone's living weapon, she just wanted to be her. To life a relatively normal life whilst learning to accept what she was. With the demon gone, Chas brought himself and Serena back out of the alcove and over to John and Kay. "John..this is so much bigger than we thought"he remarked somberly.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena shook in his arms and said weakly “I’ll...try...it’s really hard...to stay awake...he tried to...drain me...I couldn’t....” she laid her head against his shoulder, her eyes fighting to stay open.
John was thinking over his last words and said “without knowing names I can’t be sure...but we will figure it out. And we saved the day, and ms Serena so that is what matters right now...” he turned to look at Chas and saw how messed up Serena was.

Serena was barely awake and shaking badly now. John rested a hand on her cheek and muttered “that was brave trying to hold him off on your own...that shoulder needs looking at as well...let’s go home. Kay? You alright?” He looked over at her, a little in awe from what he had seen her pull off in a short time.

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas rubbed her back as he walked with her to the other two. "I know it's hard Serena but we'll be home soon, I promise" he told her, as John replied to Kay first before checking ON Serena. He agreed that it was incredibly brave of Serena to try and hold off a demon that powerful on her own, risking her very life in the process which made him so much more glad that they came when she told them not to. He tucked his arms under her and lifted her up so she didn't have to try and walk back when she was shaking so vigorously from the attack. He started the walk back, getting the tiniest bit ahead of John and Kay, knowing it was imperitive that they got Serena back and under the safety of John's house. Kay nodded at John's question, "yeah I'm fine, a little tired but okay" she replied to him. She didn't even know how she managed to pull off what she did, wo sering if it was a case of Fee helping her in some way as she had never been able to set her hands alight before and certainly not by will.

"I just wanna go back to your place and get Serena back." she added, leaning against him slightly as she began walking behind Chas and Serena. She had no idea if she truly had a right to lean against him like she was, but she was too tired to truly care. She had known the guy for less than 24hours and here she was leaning on him. She never would have done that to someone before. It had been some seriously crazy twenty four hours, that much was certain.

[MegaraFoxfire]

Serena smiled weakly at Chas an muttered "Thank you Chas...I'm glad you guys came for me...I'm sorry I couldn't...hold him off...longer..." She closed her eyes a moment, her shadows around her protectively making sure they weren't jumped again.

John saw she was worn out and he moved and picked her up into his arms, smiling at her. "Just take a break, Kay...I gotcha...just take a few breaths. It will get easier the more you use your skills. You did well today.." They made it back to the house and john opened the door with a wave of his hand.

John set Kay on the couch and said "Chas how is Serena?" When Chas asked her, Serena didn't answer.

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas smiled at her thanks, "its okay. We swore to help you and that's what we're gonna do. You did really well, not many people could have held him off for as long as you did" he told her truthfully. He didn't mind the shadows swirling around her in his arms to be protective and keep them from being jumped out of nowhere again. Kay held onto John as he insisted on picking her up and carrying her back to the house, nodding at his words and doing as he suggested by taking deep breaths. Normally she hated being carried but right now she wasn't going to complain as she was actually thankful for it, and even more tha kful when they got back to the house and getting inside. She gladly sat down on the couch, propping her head up with her hand and elbow on the armrest as she too was curious about how Serena was.

Chas looked down at Serena, "Serena? We're back" he said, hoping she hadn't fallen asleep but the moment she didn't answer he looked at John worried. "I'm not sure she was looking in a bad way on the way back. Shaking, barely able to stay awake and now she won't wake up" he answered, putting her down on the other chair, knowing he'd have to tend to that shoulder as well as trying to wake her up again.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John cursed and walked over, resting his hand on her cheek again and said "Serena? Love you got to open your eyes...come on wake up..." He cursed again and looked at Chas. "She's in trouble, try and bring her around while I get a few things. We have to give her enough energy to recover on her own...and she can't do it like this" He jumped up and ran for the study, bolting up the stairs as fast as he could.

Serena was still shaking, her breathing weak. John was making a racket upstairs as he was hunting for something to help. Then he called "Chas where the bloody did I put those big gems!?"

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas let John check Serena over and try to stir Serena around but it was to no avail, as she just wouldn't wake up. He nodded at his mate's suggestion and continued to try and wake her up, seeing how much she was shaking and how her breathing was erratic but weak. "Serena, you need to wake up" he said over and over again, trying every now and then to ge tly shake her awake as he spoke, whilst Kay watched on worried. Both of them heard the racket John was creating upstairs as he rummaged through his stuff to find what he needed, before hearing call down for Chas with a question. "I don't know! Only you understand your method for storing things! You tried the cabinet under the left hand side bookshelf?" he replied, before giving some kind of suggestion to where the box of gems and crystals could be kept.

Kay stayed out of the way as the guys tried to help Serena again. She hoped the woman would be okay and would come round, feeling like if she hadn't stayed out for her sake to get her a phone, this wouldn't have happened. She didn't know how she could possibly help them in helping Serena, so she stayed on the couch watching on helplessly. She just hoped it wouldn't take so juvh out of John again to do so, like it did before.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John listened and checked where Chas told him and he cried out, pulling out the box and digging thru to find a glowing gem. "I found it! And lucky for us we have one that's a little charged" He ran over and jumped down the stairs, landing by Serena and asked "Any change?" When Chas answered John took one of Serena's hands and wrapped her fingers around it. He looked up at Chas and said "Its only partly charged...she will need more...Kay can't cause she's already tapped...I'll do it but you'll have to keep trying to wake her up incase I use my energy to charge it and...well, pass out. Can you do that? Its the only answer I see..."

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas was relieved when John said he managed to find the crystals and gems in the box, glad that his sheer educated guess did prove to be correct. As John jumped down and landed in front of Serena, he shook his head at the question, "no" he replied before listening to what John was saying about charging the crystal as he wrapped Serena's hands round it. "right, I'll keep trying" he then said, and continued to try and wake Serena, not particularly wanting John to completely drain himself yet again after he hadn't long recovered from the last lot of problems. "come on Serena.. Ya gotta wake up for us" he said to the girl in the chair, refusing to give up on her. Kay wanted to help and went to get up from the couch but as John said, she was tapped out and found herself falling back onto the couch. "is there any way I can help from here?" she asked them both. Chas could barely even acknowledge Kay's attempt to stand up as he was too focused on trying to wake Serena. He felt slightly uncaring and rude for not truly acknowledging Kay's state but right now, in his mind it was far more important to see to Serena than it was Kay.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John looked up then an idea came to mind. "Kay...Fee is awake in your head right now? Maybe...maybe she might have an ideas on what to do..." He looked at Chas and nodded. He took the gem from the other side and closed his eyes, the gem glowing brighter as he started to charge the gem from his end. He flinched, now feeling how drained she was from being linked to her through the gem. He cursed and said "That bloody dirt bag...he almost drained her dry...I can't fill this all the way for her..." He sighed and then said "What did Serena say she was? Exact words?"

Serena was starting to get paler. The shadows were moving less and less by the minute.

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay pondered John's question for a second before realising that yes, Fee was indeed still awake. "yeah she is, I'll see what can be figured out by her" she replied, closing her eyes and trying to get Fee to talk to her. Unfortunately Fee had no real answers other than to leave her alone as she was done being used for the day. It was snarky but so eloquently put that Kay couldn't even be angry at her for it. She reopened her eyes and looked at the three of them, "she won't talk, says she has nothing and she isn't doing anything else" she replied. Chas rolled his eyes in annoyance at how little Fee was helping them, as unlike Kay, he couldn't hear exactly how it was put or see why Fee was being uncooperative. Chas looked at John when he asked him to hear again what Serena previously said what she was. He tried to remember the exact wording and when he remembered he replied, "she said and I quote, 'am blessed by the Shadow of the moon...a beast spirit that controls shadows and the night.' something to do with she was the vessel of the being known as Nyx" he explained as vest he could. "that mean anything to you?" he asked John.

"she said something about her power that she was blessed with was what she was hunted for as well, but she didn't say much else when we asked her about it" Kay spoke up, adding some more context, even though it wasn't much.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John nodded and said "Yes, that does ring a bell" He looked at Kay and said "The Shadow of the Moon is also known as The Bane. A huge wolf spirit that works at the right hand of the Goddess Nyx, the Greek Goddess of Night and Shadows...I think. I'm a little rusty on my myths. So we have to figure out how to give her energy back...some how calling The Bane..." he shook his head, starting to feel light headed from the energy sharing.

Serena stirred a little, turning her head. John looked up and said "Is it working? How's her shaking?"

[FuriePhoenix]

Kay listened to what John as saying, thinking if he's rusty with his myths and the one surrounding Serena in particular then it must be just as rare as the phoenix lore. She saw how much it was taking from John, making her get up even though she was worn out. She stumbled across and sat on the floor, placing her hands on John's back for support. She wished Fee would just help them out and not be stubborn. Chas looked down at Serena as she started to stir just a little bit, seeing her shaking was still bad but was getting less violent. "I think so yeah, her shaking is less violent" he replied, before glancing at Kay and seeing her eyes roll back into her head, just leaving an orange flickering void. "Kay??" he asked, "Not Kay.. Fee. John you gave me an idea with what you said. I can attempt to contact Bane, but I must leave Kay's body to do so" she spoke. Fee had made Kay's consciousness fall into a slumber so she didn't have a clue that any of this conversation was even being had, a way that she preferred it as Fee knew Kay would lose her utter shit over this. They hadn't been apart since she was a child, so Fee didn't know what would happen or could happen to Kay. She did know it was highly dangerous however if it went terribly wrong, but knew it could be done.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John looked at her and said "Go for it. We can keep Kay calm if you want her to be awake during this...be careful alright Fee?" Serena was fighting to open her eyes as John looked back at Serena and said "Come on love...you can do it..." He lowered his head, his hands starting to shake now.

[FuriePhoenix]

"just make sure she doesn't get into trouble. If this goes wrong it could be highly dangerous for Kay. I've not been separated from her ever before" Fee explained to him, but did start her idea. Kay's body slumped onto the ground as Fee as a burning flame, in the form of a bird escaped her body. Seconds after she shot up through John's chimney then back straight down to get the momentum before entering Serena to seek the answers they so desperately needed. She hunted for Bane in the girl's soul, remembering that the woman said she was just a mere vessel for the Shadow of the Moon. "Bane! I seek your counsel! Your vessel is dying and it is not her time to go yet. You must fight for this vessel to remain on the earthly plain!" she called through, feeling the pull of Kay's body needing her back but kept pushing she did.

Kay's body remained lifeless looking on the floor, her eyes remaining open and firey, but soulless. Her body moving ever so slightly to show she still had breath inside her to keep her alive. Yet if it wasn't for her breathing she would look all but dead. The longer Fee stayed out of her own vessel, the more Kay's body started to deteriorate, getting paler and paler. Tiny flames started to spark and seemingly dance round her body as if it was thinking it needed to be reborn if Fee didn't make it back soon. Chas glanced between the girls before focusing on Serena, "come on Serena, you need to fight and open your eyes. It's now or never" he said, keeping some kind of hold on her. It was then he saw the sparks of flames coming from Kay, "John...Kay can't be away from Fee for much longer" he said.

[MegaraFoxfire]

In her mind and soul it looked like the night sky. When Fee called out she heard a growl and a huge wolf appeared, his fur black like the night sky with stars. “I can’t help her...she won’t let me. She worries it will draw attention again. Before we were linked but then she was attacked for my power...just like before...she cut me off after that...I can’t reform the link without help...”

John cursed and said “I hate to do this...Chas, get ice water. We have to wake her up now...we dump cold water over her...”

[FuriePhoenix]

Fee heard the alpha wolf before seeing it appear and listened to what Bane had to say for himself. "she is trying to fight on the outside. How can we help to reform the link between you and your vessel?" she asked him. "But I can't stay from my own vessel for long. She's already dying to be reborn as we speak. Those humans on the outside won't let your Serena die on them. They are stubborn fools but kind. They seem to truly worry about what happens to our girls and want them safe." she also told him.

Chas stared at John like he was utterly insane. "you sure that's a good idea? I mean.. She's a bloody phoenix. We don't know what that would do to her or Fee whose not even connected to her right now. We've both seen what cold does to Kay, now you wanna risk waking her when she's not attached to half of her soul?" he questioned his friend's motives and ideas, thinking it was an awful idea. He would do it if he really had to, but he was highly dubious about the idea. The sparks of flames weren't getting any bigger at this stage, but they also were not going away. Small burn holes started to appear in her clothing, yet her skin was going untouched.

[MegaraFoxfire]

John cursed and said “not Kay, that wouldn’t help her. Serena. She has to wake up even for just a moment. Ice water on her. That will kick Fee out of her head and back into Kay’s head. It’s the only way I think...before I get drained dry...” he lowered His head, the room starting to spin on him.

The Bane looked at her and said “I will force it then...as long as she’s not alone...go back to your host...I will handle things if she can wake up”

[FuriePhoenix]

Chas nodded suddenly understanding what John was meaning. He jumped up and grabbed some ice from the freezer, putting it in a jug and proceeding to fill it up with cold water. He hoped it would be cold enough and that if this worked Serena and Fee would forgive them for doing such a crude wake up call. He rushed back to them all, being careful not to trip over Kay or John. Holding his breath, he mentally asked for forgiveness from Serena and Fee and chucked the jug of ice water all over her.

As Chas was obtaining the water Fee was listening to what Bane had to say and tilted her head in a nod before looking back at him. "thank you" she replied, and was ready to leave when she felt Serena's body get ice cold making her leave abruptly with a screech similar to that of an eagle's screech as they soar into the sky. She flew above them and glared at Chas momentarily, seeing why she felt the cold sensation. She swirled round Serena then John, close enough he'd feel her touch his skin and contrary to her firey appearance it wouldn't burn or hurt him, instead feel like a bird's feathers, before hovering over Kay's body. "Bane will help" she simply told them before dissipating back into Kay's body, making Kay wake and groan, feeling dazed and confused. "w..what happened?" she asked, feeling like she lost time yet again. She had no idea how close Fee got to John or even why Fee would do such an act as Fee normally wasn't trusting of anyone. Yet unbeknown to them all, they'd soon find out that Fee does everything for a reason, but those reasons will only show themselves when it's time.

[MegaraFoxfire]

When the water was dumped, Serena gasped and sat up straight, coughing and shaking. She looked around and said “what’s the heck going on?!” John moved the gem back and smiled weakly. “Welcome back love. You are in a spot of...” suddenly shadows wrapped around Serena and the wolf shadow appeared again behind her.

“Next time just ask...you can’t push me away any longer, chosen one...” Serena glanced back and the shadows glowed silver. She looked at them all and asked “I was dying again wasn’t I?”
