Jig is up

"James, Steel, and Clarence still in my possession!" Avic states, "Alex if you will."

Alex turns to Avic with a fierce expression, "If I will what?"

The twins offer another potion like before, "Or death, your choice!"

"Or you give me my kindred back and let me leave and give the domain to Dominique!" Alex exclaims, Quinn takes the back of her weapon striking the back of his head forcing him to the ground.

"Master Alex, this is out of line Avic!" Christian calls out, "Are you trying to kill him?"

"If that is what it takes to make you all mine..."

"Mistress Avic, we have the wretches book!" Chara shouts happily bouncing up and down cuddling it against her face.

Alex closes his eyes, he is miserable being held in contempt, words that cut worse than daggers was hearing them from Chara's mouth.

Alice has also fallen victim to Avic, she doesn't seem to recognize him at all.

Listening to Avic irritates Alex, "Avic if you truly have nothing else to say then let me go! What is your true reason for this confrontation?"

Dominique is bent over on the ground holding his face backing away. everyone observes him acting strangely, Avic runs over to him touching his face.

Christian gets a glint in his eye watching her kissing him, "The spell doesn't last does it?"

He dashes towards her with a spirited movement, Avic throws her hands out slinging the web out blocking the doorway, barring the path to the woods.

Snug in her cobweb, she slings her hands out latching onto Dominique reeling him up knocking him out as soon as she snags him, "It's time to bail Quell! Quinn!"

"Underlings! The time is to ditch this place!"

Alice, Chara, all follow Avic through her portal into her, "Master Alex!" Christian shouts as Quinn smirks at him, taking her hand bashing hard into his neck.

"Christian!" Alex raises his voice before falling into her arms, Alex not completely unconscious flails his arms out grabbing at the air.

"Fuck, you got to be kidding me! Give me my master back! Alice!" Christian yells, Trinity takes her sword lunging up reaching for Quinn stabbing her directly in the back, her grip loosens taking Alex into her arms.

"I got you, Master Alex..." Trinity says lovingly, Quinn drops to the ground, Quell looks back only following behind Avic as the hole closes, Christian clutches tight to Quinn's arm smiling back.

"Thank goodness you are okay Master Alex!" Christian chimes in, "Now you..."

"I would much be dead than in the presence of someone like you!" Quinn spouts angrily, Trinity gingerly kisses his head.

"We can't kill you, we need you to take us to your master's hideout!" Christian explains Trinity and Christian take Quinn back into the house.

Manually pushing down the webs they knock down Steel and Clarence laying them down in the guest room together in the same bed.

Trinity has Alex set down on the large chair, "Master Alex, are you okay?"

"Please stop babying me...Lady Trinity...I am fine..." He says with his eyes closed leaning into the chair, Christian is sitting by Quinn on the couch.

"Disgusting...what a horrid bunch you lot are!" She argues, Christian puts his hand over her mouth.

"You are clearly in the wrong here you lackey, we really need you though!"

She crosses her arms, "Last I checked you are in my same position and have no authority to give me commands!"

"Master Alex, you need to come over here to talk to her!"Christian insists.

"I have a headache...must I really need too Christian?"

"Alex is not my master either you nitwit!" Quinn replies, "You really are playing too nice..."

"Oh, you want me to torture you then?" Christian's fingers," That can be arranged!"

He feels completely motivated by the smell of blood, she becomes nervous in his presence, he takes her by the hand to go outside.

Leaving Alex and Trinity in the room alone, within a few seconds they hear screaming and shrieking causing Alex to jump up from his seat running outside spotting pressing Quinn's face against the ground about to drag his claws into her.

"Christian, there must be a better way to do this! Hurting her won't bring them back..."

"How are we supposed to fight this then if she won't listen to us, Master?"

He releases her, she thrusts her claws into the air semi transforming into her spider form, "I had enough of this! If you don't kill me I will kill you!"

Quinn's new features make the ground shake around them, Christian and Alex plummet to the ground in the midst of the chaos.

"This is why we don't anger demons Christian!" Alex complains, Christian only smiles back instead.

"Quinn, is that your name?" Alex asks her, she stops stomping around to turn back.

"Why should I listen to you, it's not like I can't kill you right here!"

"But you aren't...Quinn, please help me save my friends..."

"What do I get in return?"

"What do you want?" Alex questions, her stomach growls.

"I need blood or flesh...we been waiting to harvest you for food."

"If I give you my blood, will it be enough Quinn?" Alex pulls his collar back on his shirt, she blushes puzzled why he would offer himself to her.

"I will help you get inside...but I can not guarantee you will be safe inside...."

"Then I will offer as much as you need to help us, Quinn." He responds, bending down so she can dig her double-edged fangs into his neck, the teeth feeling like a serrated knife against his skin.

Quinn's teeth push his skin up, he starts to bleed out onto his clothing; his blood dribbles down quicker than she takes it in.

All he does is pat her before blacking out into his arms sliding down, she finally retracts shocked, "I am so sorry! We are nothing like vampire fangs!"

"Master! Why must you sacrifice yourself like this!" Christian shouts in despair having to retrieve him, Quinn wipes the blood away on her chin.

"If you make it through this...I will like to sign a contract with you..."

"Do you not believe in us?"

"Avic is strong...if you didn't come then Alex would still be there..."

"Quinn...I want to save Master Dominique more than anything. Gavyn's sleeping soul inside me really wants me to fight this to the end to save him."

"I can see all three of your souls, you are surely one of the strongest I come across in a long time."

"Then surely you know we can fight Avic."

"Don't get too cocky vampire."
