Jax laughed along with Mortho, at the thought of him exploding,"Haha! I think you will be alright. My god is generally kind most of the time. It's the priests who might treat you like shit. My sins are excused because I do 'HIS' work but they may not look at you that kindly. Haha, Also you said we snuggled right..."

She paused watching him grow nervous again, and she blushed trying not to make this conversation awkward,"It's fine. Believe me, Honey bear I have done a lot more then snuggled with a few of my friends. Just don't let it lead you to feel anything more than friendship. I know that you are so not interested in dating me, but ummm just so you know I don't do the dating thing/love thing. I have plans to be with a really strong mythic when I'm older and I can't let distractions like love get in the way. Not calling you a distraction. You're totally my type, I just like you too much to sleep with you. Well, bang you."

She blushed bright red," Gah...I just want to be honest." Suddenly the church was above them and she paused just outside of the doors,"Maybe it's best you wait out here. I will only be in there a few minutes anyway. I promise though, you can come again with me and I can show you around." She looked at him wanting to say something else, but she stopped herself turning back towards the door,"I'll be fast."

She went inside, letting the heavy wooden doors fall back behind her. She leaned against it for a minute before walking down the long corridor between the pews, her heels hitting the marble floors hard as she walked towards Father Douglas. He was a middle-aged man with brown hair and spectacles, his mythic ability was to read peoples souls and she hated that every time he looked at her she seemed like an open book. He turned away from lighting the candles, looking at her solemnly. She looked around at the few other patrons sitting in the pews and then back at him,"Look I'm sorry for..." He finished for her,"Being late, drinking, fighting with your sister, sleeping with a 'devil man' and cursing 47 times in the past two days."

She eyed him sourly,"The first one. The others I feel no shame for." He walked down the few steps, shaking his head,"Oh I know that too child. Now follow me, let us get you blessed for the day. You're lucky he forgives workers of the faith."

She followed him through the corridor,"Ya know Douglas we go through this every freaking morning. Do you get tired of being a judgemental ass or does it secretly turn you on?"

Douglas looked over his shoulder laughing lightly,"I just reflect His judgments, Jax, personally what you do is up to you. I've washed my hands of your sins years ago. They are mild in comparison to the last Exorcist in our midsts."

She laughed,"Oh I've heard of Maxus. What he did to that painting..."

He cut her off, again,"WAS AN ABOMINATION AGAINST HIS NAME...and should not have been allowed."

She leaned forward,"It was just a dick..."

"We are here!" He finished, bringing her to a small room with a stone basin set in the center of the stone walls. Renaissance paintings of demons and angels covered the walls highlighted only by candles. She walked over, taking off her jacket and shirt her expression turning serious as she turned around,"Well Let's get this over with. I have a friend waiting for me."

Douglas hissed as he began to speak in Latin, his fingers dipping into the cold water before covering the lines of her tattoo. Jax picked up her cross whispering her own prayers underneath the priests. She felt settled after a few minutes, a calm coming over her as she held her cross. She felt safe protected from the evil from around her. For a second she thought of Morthos cuddling her last night. She felt the same warmth this morning as she felt now. Fear struck her lightly and she kissed her cross. Douglas finished and then took a step back. Jax grabbed her tank-top and put it on slowly. Douglas spoke lightly his words calm,"Pride will kill you Jax. That wound on your shoulder is a testament to what you can achieve, but how deep are you willing to let the world hurt you before you reach your goals?"

She didn't look at him, just put on her jacket,"Douglas you know exactly how deep. I have to go."

She turned and he smiled at her warmly,"I do. Don't be afraid of warmth child. Wherever it comes."

Jax blushed, shaking her head, before walking out of the corridor,"Tomorrow?"

He pats her on the back,"Tomorrow. Be wise my child. We trust in you."

She nodded and then headed out the door looking around for Morthos. She found him moments later and spoke in a soft angelic voice,"I have finally sworn off booze, men and curse words. I am reborn as an angel." Her tone changed to a deep sultry rust,"I'm just fucking with ya! SPA?"

Jax felt warm. She breathed lightly, feeling cozy, as she snuggled up to the warmth cocooning her. Her slumber was good, better then what she had had for years and then suddenly the warmth was gone. She missed the warmth, even in her comatose state she felt the absence fully. She reached out subconsciously hoping to find it again when suddenly an alarm blared. She awoke immediately looking around to see sunlight shine through her window and Morthos in her doorway.

She yawned,"Morning Sunshine! Didn't plan on having a slumber party...haha!" She jumped out of bed, moving to her closet as she opened it,"Sorry about not waking you up. I figured you had a long day. Plus don't worry. I didn't try anything." She winked at him, unaware that they were, in fact, snuggling for most of the night. She then pulled off her shirt exposing a thick black cross blaring at him on her back. Her one shoulder was still covered in thick red, purple and purple bruises and both old and new scars crisscrossed on her skin. She grabbed a bra and put it on, comfortable with having Morthos look at her back. She then pulled out a grey tank, through it on with some jeans, her signature scuffed leather boots and then a leather jacket with a red devil lady on the back. The sling she was supposed to wear was discarded on the ground forgotten. She turned back to Morthos after changing,"I would offer you clothes but I don't have any. Anyway, I know that I have to rush this but I'm going to be late for church."

She smirked at him, pulling out her cross necklace from between her boobs and put it over her top. She then walked past him into the bathroom, taking a quick piss, before opening the door so she could talk with him as she brushed her hair, her shoulder throbbing painfully as she lifted her arm,"And before you ask any questions, I work there as an Exorcist. It's me and two priests, but they can't handle the big bastards so they call me in. I get a blessing before I start the day. Father Douglas is probably waiting as we speak. You are welcome to come if you want."

She brushed her teeth then spit into the sink then turned around teasing him,"Or perhaps we shouldn't. We did sleep together before wedlock." She teased him sticking out her tongue as she went to Ophelia's room knocking on the door,"Ophelia! I know you're pissed but I'm leaving so don't forget to lock the door when you leave." She listened for any movement but only heard silence and without warning opened the door to see no one. She paused listening for her in another part of the apartment but she heard nothing. She turned to Morthos, a mute anger behind her eyes as she slammed the door, "She's probably hunting." Her inner dialogue went nuts,She was not fucking hunting! She was with that greaseball. Calm down. Relax. She's grown, she can do whatever she pleases. You overstepped way too much yesterday..THEY PROBABLY FUCKED!... She blinked shivering in disgust before looking at Morthos,"Ophelia Later. Church now! You coming?"

Jax listened quietly, happy that she didn't insult him and sad again that he seemed so lonely at times. Jax didn't know what type of loneliness. No one ever judged her the way she judged him and on her part, she always seemed to make friends easily. She just did what she wanted to do and talked to whomever she pleased with unwavering confidence and friends followed. Even when she was a little chubby she was always one of the first to help the teacher or compete in sports. Being shy was something unnatural to her and being bullied was something she just never allowed happen. The one attempt led to her getting expelled for breaking the teeth of some young boy, but other than that she was always close to her family and friends. She saw loneliness through her sister. Ophelia was more timid, strong and serious but shyer when it came to people. Jax felt bad that she never even tried asking her sister about that. She paused hearing Morthos talk about getting new clothes and she smiled. She spoke softly,"Oh...I can help you with that...I'm great at..."

Suddenly she heard a snore and stopped dead in her tracks. She looked over at Morthos sleeping face and bit her lip. Must be the alcohol. She lifted up slowly trying not to wake him as she grabbed a blanket from her pillow. She placed it over him very gently, so at least he would be warm overnight. She then grabbed another that had fallen on the floor and pulled it over Hargul and herself. She snuggled back onto the pillow and then whispered very very slowly more to herself then Morthos,"I promise that I will get you friends and a girlfriend so that you don't have to feel alone like that anymore. I'm a hero you know. Saving people is what I do! It's what I'll always do."

She nodded to herself, not realizing that the last sentence said more about her own loneliness then she was willing to admit to herself. She shut her eyes letting the drugs and alcohol take her away, the dull pain finally fading away with conSciousness.

Jax didn't like hearing that he was a lonely child but she laughed when he offered to send her baby pics,"Yeah! Tell her to send some! I will show you mine as well when your's come in." She looked over at his tank top and the muscles beneath it when he mentioned burning off calories easily and then looked at his hair and pants. She blushed looking up at her ceiling,"Yeah I can see that. Your muscle definition is not exactly on the plushy side. You know if you didn't dress the way you do, people might not think you were so creepy." She covered her mouth, "Sorry...that's the alcohol talking...I'm really not trying to be rude, but if you bought some more fitted clothes, and maybe cut your hair a bit, you could probably have girls fawning all over you. You have the goods, you could just show them better."

She turned on her side, her green eyes looking at him patiently,"Seriously though, I don't mean to be judgemental. If this is your look I'm cool with it. I just have this thing where I shove my opinions down other peoples throat..So tell me when to shut up." She paused looking at his bedazzled horns,"Very Sexy Hargul good job." She shut her lips trying not to giggle, as Hargul finished up, and then moved to sit on Morthos chest,"YES HARGUL DID GOOD JOB! YOU NO LONGER LOOK LIKE SHITSPOON." Jax guffawed,"Hargul, That's so rude."

Hargul twitched his nose then shrugged, jumping over Morthos to curl in the crook of Jax's arm. His scales and plastic jeweled leotard scraped against her skin, but she patted his head whispering to Morthos,"Sorry..."

Jax looked up as he leaned down, listening patiently as he chatted with her. Her heart broke a little bit at his words. She sat up slightly turning around so her head was at his level but her body was the opposite way,"That breaks my heart a bit Morthos. People suck! You are such a nice guy, people should just give you a damn chance." She pushed some of her hair out of her face,"You do play the introvert well though. Not going to meet too many people behind the books, so you have to take some credit for the loneliness. That being said though.." She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek,"I am glad that I can hold the role of your friend."

Hargul leaned over and smooched Morthos on the forehead,"HARGUL FRIEND TOO! WE CAN GO DRESS SHOPPING LIKE BROTHERS."

Jax burst into laughter, clutching her stomach as she pulled her legs in,"Ahh Hargul....So an only child eh? That must have sucked. So you had no friends growing up? Omg did you have little horns when you were a kid? A little tail to! Gah..you must have been so cute!"

She bit her lip,"I was actually a bit fat as a child. It's okay...I am not ashamed. I had an addiction to sweets, and my dad liked the fact that I was bulky so he kept giving them to me. When I started training I lost the weight, but I still can't say no to cinnamon rolls."

Jax felt a very light, depression in the mattress by her feet and looked over to see Morthos sitting there. She paused for a second, this is the first time a boy has been in her room. She looked around at the half-naked magic boys on the red and gold walls, and the clothes strung up on the carpeted wood floors. The books, candles and demon artifacts that littered her room had never been seen in this setting by the male eye. She even looked down at the art book, the graphic pencil shaving of a naked hot male elf visible for Morthos' eyes. She kicked the book off the bed quickly and sat up slowly,"I just needed out of there to be brutally honest. I can't even look at them right now." She eyed how he was sitting on her bed,"Look, dude, I invited you into my room, you can sit or lay down if you want."

She leaned back falling on the pillow,"I ain't going to try anything if that's what you are worried about." She heard the door open and Hargul walked in slowly with the bag of jewels and his glue gun,"Hargul finish now?"

Jax pushed her face into the pillow,"Ugh...I bet you want to go home now!"

Jax let him take away the bottle and looked over at him with frustrated eyes. She listened patiently, her body feeling light and her brain was sore. She sat up and leaned against his shoulder,"You're right. You're right. I know you are right. I just...she could get hurt. I don't know this guy..and I think he's hiding something. I...can't put my nose on it, but he has a darkness within him." She lifted her head up slowly,"I can't deal with this on top of everything else. It's too much." She started to lean back and forth, shaking a bit due to the booze,"I do appreciate you listening. I shouldn't unload so much so fast, but you are just really easy to talk to. Also thanks..for not thinking I'm a slut. Which I am not! You really could become my best friend." She leaned forward a bit when suddenly the door opened. She saw Ophelia walk in with confusion on her face.

She saw her eyes rest on the plate then come back to her and Jax kept her face cold, "Ya know Ophelia, I knew you were desperate for love but I didn't know you were stupid too." She stood up resting a shaky palm on Morthos' shoulder,"Come on, I want to show you something in my room. AND IT IS NOT MY VAGINA, AS MUCH AS MY SISTER THINKS IT IS."

She walked towards her room on a shaky foot, before opening the door and basically falling in. She came down on her bed and clawed her way to the pillow completely forgetting everything about everything but the comfy pillow beneath her.

The pasta was amazing as usual when Ophelia cooks, and the conversation was light, as Jax listened to Morthos talk about his skills. She looked behind her at the tap of a hand on her shoulder and waved back to the ghost hand before it disappeared. She turned back looking at Morthos as he continued.She took another chug of wine, feeling a little tipsy as she laughed,"I might have some fire-resistant gear, but you have to beat 'Honey' first before we get to that!" Hargul perked up,"Hargul has firepower too!" He lifts up his small claw a tiny purple fireball growing in his hand. He closed his fist extinguishing it after a few moments, and Jax smirked,"He was actually a servant to some high-level demons at some point before I nabbed him."

She stood up her plate empty as she brought it to the sink, letting the water run over the leftover sauce. She looked up a window to the outside street slightly clouded by the hot steam from the pasta. She was just about to walk away when she noticed Roxas and Ophelia embrace and kiss. She turned around, gripping the edge of the counter for a few minutes before she grabbed the plate and threw it at the wall breaking it. She looked up noticing Morthos confusion, "Sorry...I don't know why I am so bloody mad tonight. I just am tired of being the only god damn adult in this fucking house." She walked over and grabbed the wine, chugging most of it until her throat started to burn,"You know what Morthos. I warned her before about being careful with bonding. Our mother warned her and what does she do, go and bond and now KISS a guy she just met last night. I JUST MET YOU YESTERDAY AND MY TONGUE ISN'T DOWN YOUR THROAT! I just don't understand why she is being so irresponsible!"

She went to sit back down beside Morthos chugging her wine again, "PLUS I AM NOT A SLUT! IF I WANT TO FUCK RANDOM GUYS ONCE IN A BLUE MOON. THAT IS MY DAMN PEROGATIVE..." She looked over feeling horrible,"Oh god, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be unloading like this. God..You just happened to meet me at a really bad time."

She sunk down onto the table, Hargul coming over to pat her on the head quietly.

Jax gave Roxas a light smirk, still unsure about him, but she didn't have the energy to fight. She then looked at Morthos and poured him a glass, her mood immediately turning as she cheered him with the bottle,"How is it that we have only met yesterday and you already know me so well."

She took a chug of the wine, then sat down and began eating. She ate quickly, her jaw sore as she chewed. She was halfway through her food when she turned looking at him, surprised he was so interested in scythes,"Well I think durability is the key. The only reason I could face Titan with the black mamba is because it is strong enough to hold up against pressure. It was fine but I would need something of a way stronger material if I am going to face stronger foes. Also, it has to be lightweight. I can bench press about 200 pounds but I need something light enough I could work with. Something like..." She paused then bit her lip,"Lucifer's soul....It's a highly expensive scythe with demon blood inlaid in a new magnesium alloy. They are created by Hardon Valgotl, who by the way is a total hottie of a mage. It's lightweight enough that even I could carry it, but it is strong enough to cut through steel, let along bone and flesh. It's my dream scythe. Each is specifically catered to the user's power. The mage who makes them isn't cheap though, and he has to 'want' to make them for the person. Ugh..sorry I went on a tandem. I love scythes."

She took a few more bites of food,"So what exactly can you do? Sorry to be rude, but what do you specialize in? You don't do melee, so your skills in magic must be pretty good to get into SPA in the first place. Give me the deets dude!" She took another chug of wine from her bottle smiling at him.

Jax watched Roxas leave not hearing what he said. She then turned to Morthos and almost died of laughter as he sat there patiently letting Hargul glitter up his horns. Her heart warmed so much at the fact that he was placating her little beast. She smiled widely,"Oh the scythe. That is actually a funny story..if you want to hear it." She sat back and put up her feet smirking,"My dad has always been known for using two weapons in his career as an earth bender. He uses stone gauntlets and a war hammer. I was never so much a fan of gauntlets but that war hammer was beautiful. When he brought it down, the earth bent to his will beneath it. I envied that power from the moment I saw it. Ophelia and I were born without any power to our name. Our parents thought it was fine because sometimes as you know you grow into it. I was cocksure I was going to be an earth bender at the age of six so I told my dad I wanted to use a hammer like him. He said he would train me how to use it if I could pick it up."

She paused, as Hargul climbed onto Morthos shoulder to reach the upper tip of his horns, "So every day, when I got out of school I would go to our basement and try to pick that fucking thing up! But I couldn't. I could easily raise the bar, but the mallet would barely lift off the ground before it smacked back down on the concrete. I realized after two weeks that that stupid mallet was not going to move by brute strength. I had to get creative. So I decided to find something that would allow me to use my whole upper body strength. I went hunting and found this measly little sickle we used for the garden. Luckily for me, it was made out of steel instead of wood. So I hooked the blade underneath the hammer, placed the rod on my back and started rolling. I almost pulled my back out but I lifted that mallet so it was standing on its point. I kept the sickle in place only long enough to lean against the mallet, letting it fall against my back. I called my Dad and then stood up the war hammer on my shoulders. I almost tipped over three times before he came down to see me. He picked it up off my shoulders easily and then noticed the sickle,"Did you use that to do it." I wanted to lie but figured he would know so I said,"Well yeah...but I lifted it."

He leaned down and picked up the sickle,"This is the first weapon you grabbed so this is the one I will teach you how to use." Let me say I was fucking furious. Here I was with this dingy little garden tool as a weapon when I in my mind had completed the task of lifting that hammer. We fought about it for a month before I gave in and took the training he offered. I got better and more used to it, and over time he bought me larger bigger sickles and then finally I ended up with my Black Mamba. She is my one and only and I haven't looked back since. Although to be fair. I bet I could lift that freaking war hammer now. I was so angry when Ophelia became a vampire. She used to pick up that thing as if it was a doll." She remained quiet for a few minutes when finally she heard Ophelia say dinner was ready. She followed Morthos into the kitchen and took her plate. Hargul responded to Morthos request with bright eyes,"YES BROTHERKIN! EAT FIRST! SPARKLE LATER! You pretty like Hargul now. Very beautiful!" He hopped down and skittered to the kitchen hoping over to Ophelia,"MISS OPHELIA MAKE YUMMY FOOD FOR HARGUL! SHOW HARGUL NEW DRESS AFTER FROM OTHER BROTHERKIN!"

Jax's eyes turned to Roxas for a few minutes before turning back to Hargul,"He's a demon?"

Hargul nodded,"He said he more demon then Hargul. Worst Demon."

Jax remained quiet for a few seconds,"I need a fucking drink." She walked over to the cupboard and pulled out a bottle of wine. She twisted the cap off and took out a glass,"Who else want's one?"
