Power Seekers

((Lucille))

The deafening screech of tires tossed Lucille out of her bed. Her jolt took her to the forest floor, it was dark now. She tried to recall something she knew she had to recall but to no avail. She pushed herself up and glanced around. The street nearby showed a car that had smashed into the light pole.

Lucille ran to the car and found a man already there, "Is everyone alright?"

"What happened?" Lucille called out, reaching the man. He looked about her age, twenty give or take a few years.

The man turned, "I was on the roof and I heard the crash. I came to see if anyone was hurt. I'm Auggie."

"Lucille." she replied.

Lucille went to the car and pried the door open. A man sat inside, his head scratched from the impact but he was still conscious.

"Sir? Are you alright sir?" Lucille asked, unbuckling the man. Auggie took Lucille's arm and moved her out of the way. He picked the man up and out of the car. The paramedics had come by then and were looking him over. One paramedic came over and talked to Lucille and Auggie about what had happened. they told their story and got out of the way.

"What odd circumstances to meet by, Lucille." Auggie declared, leaning against the brick apartment house behind him.

Lucille smiled and nodded, "Indeed."

Auggie looked her over, "You seem awfully familiar. I know I've seen you before; I can't place where..."

With the end of the sentence came another clash of glass as it broke. A girl burst through a window a building down. She faltered but stood and started running.

"What odd circumstances indeed. Was she bleeding?" Auggie asked as they ran to the spot the girl jumped out of.

Lucille arrived first, "Yeah, there's blood here. She's lucky she was on the first floor."

Auggie nodded, looking at the window, "We should find her. She looked pretty hurt."

Auggie took off in the direction the girl ran, Lucille followed.

"After all this is over I think we should go get some coffee."

Lucille laughed a light, tinkling laugh, "Perhaps."

Auggie-

I chuckled, still running after the faint silhouette of the girl in the distance. Coffee did sound good.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't push the feeling out of my mind that I had somehow...somewhere...met Lucille. It wasn't just a chance encounter, with brief words exchanged and us going our own ways afterwards. It seemed like we'd known each other longer than that...

And yet, had someone come to me the day before, and asked me if I knew someone by the name of Lucille, I would've answered a plain and simple, "No."

The girl ahead was slowly losing speed. Lucille and I ran a bit faster. We'd catch up soon.

[Farleigh]

A girl was running through the woods and had bumped into Farleigh. She and Khai helped her up. With a quick glance to the girls face she knew that she too was another demon. Golden eyes stared back into hers.

But Farleigh turned her attention back to Khai, she felt her heart skip a beat. "At least your honest," she said, giving him a sort of unsure smile.

He smiled back at her and then turned to the other demon. "Hi Cam,"

*how about when all the siblings meet up, that triggers their memories.*

Seda-

His arms came up and he steadied the girl before he fell over. "Hey, you alright." She looked up at him, and seemed shocked by something on his face.

"No. I'm perfectly fine." Believable, but her answer was too quick, and she was a mess.

"Relax, judging from what you're wearing, I take it you don't have a change of clothes? Let me buy you something to wear." Even though the girl protested, Seda insisted, while she looked through the clothes the cashier watched with disapproval, until Seda flashed his gold card. A large inheritance was the only descent thing his mother had left him.

It was taking longer then he thought it would so while he waited Seda dozed.

At least they weren't looking at him like he was nuts. But then the others were used to Khy suggesting crazy things. Finally he couldn't take the wait any longer. The others had all agreed, but now they were just procrastinating.

Another bang at the palace gates caught his attention. The seal wouldn't hold for much longer. "Even if there was another way. We just don't have the time to figure it out."

"...He's right." One by one the others conceded. But still, everyone was scared, Sorcerer's Fire was one of the most painful ways for a demon to die. While it didn't even singe humans, if it touched a demon it would continue to burn until their was nothing left, not even ash.

Taking a deep breath Khy opened the vial. "Since I'm the one who suggested it I'll go first." And before the others could say anything, he upended the vial letting the flame settle in the palm of his hand. Right before the pain set in Khy looked up at the others knowing his words would spur them on. "Don't chicken out on me after I'm gone guys."

It was all he could manage, and then the only thing that existed in his world was pain.

"Mister, hey mister are you alright? You looked like you were having a nightmare." Seda opened his eyes to see the girl.

"Nightmare, maybe. I never remember my dreams so I don't know." He looked at the girl. She was wearing blue jeans and some sort of light floaty blouse. Now that she was out of that robe Seda couldn't help noticing she was quite pretty.

He nodded at the cafe across the street after he paid. "I don't know about you. But I'm starving, why don't we get something to eat?"

She hesitated. "But I don't even know your name."

"I don't know yours either." He grinned. "But just for reference, it's Seda."

Alright, she smiled shyly at him. "I'm Falon."

As they walked over to a cafe an officer stopped them, warning them to be careful since there had been a car crash just down the street.

*****It's Falon*****

Falon followed the guy. She couldn't help get his gold eyes from her mind. Humans didn't have gold eyes, did they. She couldn't rememeber. She had never really learned much about humans. It wasn't her job. She wasn't supposed to know about them, her mother had always said it could be dangerous for a weather angel.

"Why are you helping me?" She asked looking at him. Human weren't much different from angels. Other then them being more sinful. angels are too, Katy pushed me out of heaven and down here. She thought.

Name: Dean Daniels
Age: 22
Race: Human
Occupation: Demon Hunter
Appearance: Short blonde hair, blue eyes, masculine build, tall
Personality: sarcastic, tough guy yet sentimental, sweet, considerate, smart, sly
Weapons: Gun, other various demon killing weapons passed down from his father
History: there is only one demon hunter in the world at a time (kind of like the slayer) and demon hunting can be traced all the way back to Dean's great great great great grandfather and after his fathers death Dean became the next demon hunter. Their family isn't exactly sure why they were picked to keep the demon hunting bloodline alive but they have accpeted the responsibilty. Dean's mission is to protect the royal family, while the usual main goal of a demon hunter is to kill demons, Dean's case is special. He must protect the royals to prevent the destruction of the world. But he may have to kill them before they become demons again.

*Question: are these demons one's that have taken over human bodies and could be exercised per say?*

*I know, I fixed that.*

"No particular reason. You just looked like you were in trouble. Besides I was heading the same way as you. And I saw how everyone was treating you like dirt. That kind of thing just pisses me off." We sat down at the cafe and started ordering food.

Dean-

Dean looked out his window at the city. His friend, Chloe, was sitting at her lap top at the table typing away.
"Okay, so I have the information." She said and he walked over to where she was sitting and looked over her shoulder at the screen, "According to this, six hundred years ago the royal family's mansion was located where the City Library is right now. But are you sure they have reincarnated yet?"
"Positive," he answered remembering the golden eyes behind the newspaper that he couldn't seem to find again, "any luck on our search?"
"No, newspaper girl is still yet to be found. So explain to me about the royal family again, why do you have to protect him."
Chloe was the only person, outside of his family, who knew about his 'real' job. And when he told her, she thought it was cool and has been with him ever since as the real brains of the operation. But that had only been a couple of months and she was still adjusting and getting used to everything.
"The royal family were a group of demons all fathered by the most powerful demon, who was eventually killed by other demons. His children were also killed six hundred years ago. The demon race attacked them and then they escaped to their mansion and burned the place to the ground with sorcerer's fire, which transferred them to the cycle of reincarnation. Now they have been reincarnated and are humans with demonice power. I have to protect them because if other demons get a hold on them their powers will be used to start another demon war."
"Which is not good."
"Not good at all."
"Right, well I have to go to work. See you later." Chloe stood and tucked her short blonde hair behind her ear before heading to her job at an antique shop in the downtown.

Jackson fled down the stairs and quickly entered the lobby.
" JUST GIVE UP JACKSON!"
He looked behind him to see three demons just coming down the stairs.
They all fired at once and Jackson quickly grabbed a suitcase rack and hid behind it as the bullets flew through the air.

Everyone stood still in the lobby.
One of the demons slowly walked to the Suitcase cart. Then they all slowly walked to it.
The cart then began to go straight for them! They all were pulled onto it and they were rammed into a wall...they didn't make a sound after that.
Jackson growled and walked out of the hotel with a bullet lodged into his foot.

*to answer the question about possession, it's an ability that some demon's have, but most lack. The whole 'behind every legend, there is a grain of truth' thing.*

Falon---

Falon looked at the menu, she could read it, but had no clue what any of it meant. So she just said what was under what Seda had ordered. She must've said it a little funny because the waiter looked at her but scribbled it down anyways.

"Why were you wearing that robe?" He asked looking up at her. Falon bit her lip, what was she supposed to say, I'm an angel! Ya, right.

"I don't really remember." She muttered looking down at her hands. She had always wondered why angels wore the robes, so she hadn't lied.

Caitlin-

It had all gone so fast Caitlin could hardly believe it was true. She ran over the sidewalk, getting away from that place called home as soon as possible.

She barely noticed the blood running across her arm, dropping on the street, though she did notice the pain in her leg increasing with every step she took. Angered, Caitlin shook her head. She couldn't give up now!

Anxiously, she looked over her shoulder and noticed the male and female following her. Worse, they were coming closer too, and she couldn't keep up this speed much longer.

*I'm not going to be able to post until Saturday, as I mentioned earlier in the application I posted. But I'll try to reply as soon as possible once I'm back!*

Jackson walked to a phone booth and pushed the numbers 666.
It was almost imeitly awsnered.
" Yes?" A silvery voice said over the phone.
" Why the hell did you send your little cronies after me? I didn't do anything?!?"
" Yes you did...The royal star's are coming back."
Jackson was silent. He rubbed his eyes.
" And you seem connected with one of the servants there."
" Don't even mention that!" Jackson hissed.
" You gave her your heart right?"
Jackson hitted his head onto the phone booth walls. The voice chuckled.
" I had to send them so they can find out about where that servant is...so we can track down the royal family."
" And you ask for my help by sending five demons that shoot first and never ask's questions later?"
" It's standard procedure."
" Go to hell."
" Already there Jackson. And Ive managed to track down the locations of the royal family and their servants to the same location as you are...Phenox, Arizona ."

Jackson walked through the busy streets and remembered the last time he saw his love...and his heart.

She was standing right where the window was. I Watched the house quickly eat the house apart.
" NO!" Jackson yelled. The girl looked behind her and saw Jackson looking at her. She waved goodbye and the flames eat through the windows.
jacksons heart was never found in the wreckage.

Jackson looked into the sky and almost wished for his heart back.

Auggie-

I raised one arm, waving it in the air towards the girl. "Hey, hold on a second!" I called, still running.

Suddenly the girl stopped, bending over and holding her leg. Lucille and I ran forward.

I slid down onto my knees, resting one hand lightly on her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

She shook her head and I looked to Lucille. "Can you help her? I'm not very good with this kind of thing."

Lucille nodded and I stood up, turning to look down the way we had come, then the road ahead. Both were dark.

"I don't like this," I murmured under my breath.

((Lucille))

"Excuse me?" Lucille asked, "Are you alright?"

The girl nodded and looked up into Lucille's eyes. Her own widened as she stood and ran. Lucille jumped up, "Hey!" but the girl ran around the corner and disappeared.

"I'm not going after her." Auggie announced, combing through his hair with his hand.

Lucille looked where the girl had disappeared and shook her head, "She might be running away from home. We shouldn't bother her."

Auggie looked worriedly at the road in front of him, "What a funny feeling..." he shook his head and turned to grin at Lucille, "How 'bout that coffee? The library isn't too far away and they have some pretty good coffee there."

Lucille smiled, "Sure. I go there every morning before I work."

Auggie walked down the street, inspecting everyone who passed him, "Really? Where do you work?"

Lucille grinned, "The library."

Auggie laughed, "No wonder."

They arrived at the public library, a big courthouse-like building with two stone lions guarding the entrance. Lucille quickly trotted up the familiar steps to the wooden doors. Auggie followed and they entered the library. The old receptionist greeted them with a smile and welcome.

"Hey there, Lucy. Back already?"

Lucille smiled, "Yeah, Mel. I brought a friend to go get some coffee."

Mel looked Auggie over carefully from behind her modern glasses. She finally nodded and inclined her head, "He'll do. No trouble making."

"Of course not." Lucille laughed as she strode away.

Auggie followed, an amused look on his face, "'He'll do'?"

Lucille laughed again, "She likes to see who I bring in. Melinda's the head of the library and doesn't have a life outside of this building."

She gave him an exasperated look as they neared the Cafe counter. They ordered and sat down. Lucille sipped the coffee carefully as Auggie shot her another question.

"This room seems familiar." He looked over the small room that cut off of the round library. "Almost like home."

Lucille sighed and nodded, "It makes me feel safe in here. They said they built the library with the old plans of some castle or something that was here before."

Auggie nodded, satisfied.
