The Night Shift (1x1)
Forum-Index → Roleplay → Private RP → The Night Shift (1x1)Nat stopped her trampling, only to reach down and grab his shoulder in her jaws to drag him over to Angel as fast as she could.
Angel grabbed Alex's leg and her body glowed as she transferred the damage to him.
Elvira staggered over, her signal almost off due to her trying to focus on standing.
Roxy didn't trust the sudden lack of response to Alex's body. Something was wrong. Something was off. Shifting nervously, she held onto Danny. "We have to end him. Ensure no one else gets hurt," she called out.
Sebastian shoved the body recently vacated by Alex, giving the girls better access to him before latching onto his arm and pumping venom into him.
Angel stood up and took a couple steps back, her job done. She spotted Elvira up and moving about, so she went over to check on her. "Hey El, how's your arm?"
Nat moved around over to Danny to see how he was after having been stabbed pretty badly, Angel had fixed him, but she wanted to make sure. She gently nudged him with her head as she laid down right beside him.
Danny smiled, reaching up to hug Nat. "Hey. I'm fine. Tis just a flesh wound," he chuckled, kissing the top of her head.
"Ha ha," Sebastian said, coming over to join the hug. "Monty python. I know that one. How appropriate. As that was not just a flesh wound, kid. Scared the hell out of me. Glad you're safe."
Roxy pulled Elvira into a hug, pressing her face to her neck. "I was so worried...you sure you're okay?" She asked, pulling back to check her over.
"We'll take care of this," Teddy said, nudging Alex's body with his boot. "Bury it and forget about it." Billy picked it up with his magic, nodding. "Oh yeah. An unwanted chapter in human history."
Nat shifted into her human shape to hug him properly. "It scared me too... I'm glad we had Angel with us..." She felt a bit guilty for him getting stabbed. She was supposed to take the brunt of Alex's attacks and keep his focus. She failed, and it got Danny hurt.
Angel nodded and headed over to watch the two kings bury the body. Something didn't feel quite finished.
Roxy was quiet, staring up at her fiance, feeling something was wrong. It was something about her eyes and speech pattern, the kiss and the way the woman was acting. "Okay..." Things were not okay and she planned to ask her dad about it.
Danny nodded. "I should have stayed back. I figured he wasn't attacking Sebastian, he must not have been able to reach him. My mistake.thank you for getting him, Nat," the young man told her.
Something felt...familiar about the setting for Billy. Like an itch he couldn't scratch, he couldn't place it as he and Teddy dug a hole. Looking over at their family, his kids, every last one of them, Billy studied them. Something was wrong. But what? "T...do you feel that?"
Teddy stopped, trying to reach out with his senses. Frowning, he shook his head. "No. What does it feel like?" "...Moridun," he whispered. Teddy did a double take. "Um...what? But you killed him." "I know. It feels like what if felt like then. But...different."
"I would have trampled him completely, but Sebastian reminded me that Angel needed him still partially alive... You would have done the same for me Danny..." Nat hugged him a little tighter.
Angel watched the two bury the body and listened to the conversation. "I feel something off as well... Like something, isn't quite done..." She sighed as she looked over at the group. "You know what I mean?"
"You okay?" Danny asked, looking up at Elvira. Of course Alex had her nodding and leaning in to hug him.
Roxy walked over to Angel and her dads, looking at Elvira before catching the tail end of the conversation. "He gave in too soon. It isn't right. And El is acting...strange. Something is off. Dad? Can you check her? Please? See if something happened?" Roxy nearly begged Billy. She didn't want to voice the idea that Elvira, her Elvira, could be gone.
"Of course I can check," Billy said, finishing his task with Teddy. "Just...gotta get the right spell," he added, focusing on what he wanted to do before looking over at Elvira. "Shall we head over?"
Nat could almost sense something not right, but didn't really know what to do or say about it, or who she should tell.
Angel put a hand on Roxy's shoulder. "She'll be okay. She's a fighter." She glanced up at Roxy's dads for a moment sending up a prayer that he could find the right spell and that they can save her before anything bad were to happen.
Roxanne smiled, squeezing Angel's hand. "That she is." Reaching out, she wrapped an arm around Elvira's waist. "Just a moment." If anything happened, she could hold on while withstanding any damage.
Billy's eyes began to glow blue and he reached out, trying to reach just Elvira. "El? El, you there? I need you to tell me if everything is okay. Sometimes this gets a bit harder to control..."
Nat watched the rest of the group come closer and gather around Elvira. So they felt it too and they were doing something about it. She tried to make herself ready for anything that might happen.
Angel stood behind Elvira in case she needed to reach out to heal someone.
Teddy moved in, wrapping his arms around his mage and holding him close. Roxy did the same with a struggling, snarling puppeted Elvira. Reaching forward. billy took a deep breath before using the techniques he had learned from his teacher to yank both Elvira and Alex out of her body. He sent them into the astral plan, seeking to trap Alex's mind in a mental trap so that no one would stumble across him again.
Danny hesitated, unsure of what he could do to help. Sebastian stayed close to Angel so she could use his energy should she need it.
Angel kept herself nearby and ready, but she also prayed, not quite making a bargain, but she was damn close to it.
Nat stayed beside Danny and held out her hand to hold his. She was worried, and hoped that she could find solace in the small embrace, and that he could find some too.
Roxy felt Elvira return to her body and waited anxiously for her to open her eyes. She had to be okay. Because whatever had happened, should not have happened.
Billy returned to his own body moments later, answering an anxious Teddy's questions before they celebrated with a kiss.
"Is...is he gone?" Danny asked, seemingly attached at the hip to Nat. "What exactly happened? El is okay now, right?" He asked, nervous even though he hung onto Nat's comfort and tried to give her comfort as well.
He didn't use me t hurt any of you right?"
Angel let out a sigh of relief as Elvira spoke again, sounding much more like herself.
"I don't know what happened... It seems like she's okay... Things feel better now..." Nat still clung to Danny happy for the comfort.
Sebastian relaxed, his arms dropping to Angel's waist. "It's over...we're all good."
Danny nodded, snuggling into Nat.
Angel turned around to hug Sebastian, her wings moving appropriately so that he wouldn't get hit with them. "It's over..." She repeated before she kissed him.
Nat hugged him tightly, very happy to have the monster that 'owned' her no more than a memory. She was free. Completely.
Sebastian smiled, kissing her back while lightly brushing his wings over her wings. "Our family is safe." He murmured quietly.
Billy and Teddy wrapped their arms around Roxy and Elvira, leaving an arm open to invite the others in. Danny teleported Nat and himself over, curling into the family hug.
Angel sighed softly as she leaned into him. "They are..." She spotted the bigger hug and gently pulled him over into it.
Nat shifted herself into her half dragon form so that she could hug people more effectively.
Sebastian chuckled, kissing Angel's cheek as they joined the hug. He was satisfied with life. And things only looked brighter now.
"Should I get us home?" Danny asked.
"I've got it," Billy replied. "After what you took? Rest is better. I don't say it because you are young. If anyone took that hit I would be telling them to rest. Including this guy," he said, patting Teddy's back. Teddy rolled his eyes and kissed his mage.
