Weight: 138 lbs

Blood Type: 0+

Sexuality: Bisexual

Love Interest: None yet

Family: Dead, her mother died of age, her father died to her own hands as he tried to kill her for political reasons and she resisted.

Abilities: Control lightening/energy and celestial blue 'sky fire', an ethereal flame caused by the heat of a hell storm. She also naturally regenerates and heals when she ingests blood, which is good as healing magic causes her damage instead. She can fly by growing wings or by shape-shifting into her horned, tailed, winged, and clawed demon form. She also has increased physical abilities in her demon form. Strength, speed/etc but it exhausts her energy abilities quickly.

Weapons: A short sword with dragons on the hilt attached to a long chain of magical energy. It normally hides as a large ring on her right hand.

Other Important Items/Equipment: A magic scarf that she wraps around her torso that makes her look 'flat' chested. This added to the vests she wears allows her to pass as a man. A small pendant she wears under her clothes that can store a small amount of blood for emergencies. It is shaped like a tear and holds far more then it should be able to but must be filled regularly to keep it.

Secret: She is half demon struggling to prove herself by killing those of rival demon clans infecting the campus and gaining control of the dark magic their for herself. Her species of demon is related to dragons but gains power by devouring other demons, an ability she lacks while still retaining vampiric needs. She also generally presents herself as male since far back in history but is actual female.

Blair

Blair easily ran after the demon, it was a mere imp after all. Mindless.... spawned by the negative energy gate that seemed to be here he imagined. The creature was fast, however, and managed to go closer to the courtyard then expected. Many couples used it as a meeting spot so Blair was not particularly interested in allowing it much further. The fun was over it seemed..... With a sigh he stood still, raising his hand into the air as he tossed the ring straight into the air. It transformed as it did so, a blue energy chain forming and wrapping around blair's arm almost to the shoulder. At the other end of the chain formed an intricate and beautiful sword. Once the sword formed he was already moving the chain to swing it outward.

The tiny imp was soon impaled on the blade, it's blood traveling through the sword and up the chain. The chain would turn red as it passed, soon passing the energy from the blood straight into Blair. It wasn't as good as a true living creature but it would do for a midnight snack he supposed. He yanked the sword back, his fingers wrapped around the hilt within moments. He watched the demon disappear in a swirl of black ash and shook his head. Weak.... still to be spawned by the very energy of the place showed him exactly why the other demon clans wanted it so bad. Oh well, it would be his soon. He clenched his hand and the sword with it's chain disappeared in a flicker of energy to return to it's place as a ring. He turned and stepped into the door of the dorm, realizing quickly that the mannequin was not where it had been.

"Now what do we have here?" He murmured simply, as he gazed through the room. He hesitated a moment, debating if the legend was true or if a demon had possessed the vessel. Dolls and such were easily possessed. Due to chasing the imp he hadn't sensed the change of Em and had arrived a day later then he should have so had not seen it the prior night either. So he lurked in front of the door a moment after he closed it with his thumb looped in his pockets.

Sy

Sy had been napped most of the time she could, curious after meeting the mannequin and Leo's reaction to it all. She rather liked when he went into over protective brother mood, simply because he treated her lovingly then instead of yelling at her. Of course sometimes he yelled at others instead but oh well. If Leo was in a temper mood then he was, not much anyone could do about it. The feline yawned, deliberately in her full Bella form. After all, no one knew her true self yet. Perhaps not even her... She sighed softly and shook her head before she headed for Leo's room.

"Anybody home?" She asked softly as she knocked on the door. She wanted to ask him what his connection with Em was and if it was as simple as the curse. She was curious by nature, being a cat in spirit if not in body. She also wanted to find out if they were friends or..... something more. Em seemed to flirt with everything so it probably didn't mean anything but... well Leo wasn't one to tell her anything without her asking.

Leon had finally gotten the day off from school so he was able to catch up on some much needed rest that he had been lacking since he found out about Emery. He grumbled as he rolled over in his sleep, unaware that it had gotten so late in the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emery grinned as he moved up the stairs, sneaking into Leon's room so that he could crawl into the bed with him, cuddling him as he chuckled, knowing the reaction he was going to get when the male woke up. Though it was a shock to hear that someone was at the door, he cocked his head slightly before he chuckled, mimicking Leon's voice to answer. "Come in." he said before chuckling, getting a light shocked look at what happened next.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon groaned and grumbled in his sleep as he tried to toss and turn but there was a weight on him, keeping him from doing so. The knock on the door, and the voices that he vaguely heard caused him to wake up finally. He groaned as he opened his eyes, blinking a few moments before staring in shock at Emery. His eyes widen before he shoved the male away from him, as he scrambled out the bed. "WHAT THE HELL, EM?!?!??!" he yelled loud enough for his voice to carry out the room and down to the entrance way.

Blair

He heard the commotion upstairs and raised an eyebrow but began to slowly walk up the stairs. Blair appeared perfectly relaxed, his hands still nonchalantly stuffed in his pockets. He walked silently, however, and with the careful steps of one who was use to walking into a dangerous situation. Not rash or over cautious, the confident half demon soon reached the room where he'd heard someone call out. He didn't think he'd let any of the Imps escape his reach but one never knew for sure. He paused at the doorway, looking at the two twins and then Em.

"It Lives!" he said with a chuckle as he gazed at Em, imitating an old movie he'd seen. He gazed at Em unflinchingly from under that line of long lashes, as if it didn't bother him at all that someone might think him staring. So the mannequin hadn't been what it seemed..... well that explained something he'd observed about how it felt. The energy just hadn't been quite right to him, but now that it was fully released he could also honestly say that Em was no demon. He may have been a wizard of note at one time but he was not a creature of hell.

Sy

Sy's unique hearing was dulled in her human form but not enough that she didn't notice something seemed off about the 'come in' though she wasn't sure what. Instantly her own protective side kicked in and she flung the door open with one hand twisting the top of her cane to prepare to draw her cane sword. She would easily call to the moonlight and slash a beast to ribbons if it was hurting her brother and judging by the unusually serious expression on her face she had every intention of doing precisely that. She knew her brother could handle himself but she'd promised.... promised to keep him safe and happy. She found no threat, however, but instead a rather amusing scene.

"Don't tell me my straight laced brother is doing something naughty." She teased with a grin as she twisted the top back into place before leaning on the cane. She had stumbled slightly but now she was quite comfortable and seemed ready to laugh. For a moment she thought she did as she heard a rather androgynous chuckle behind her. She turned quickly to see the redhead, feeling an instant discomfort with the male. He felt.... wrong somehow. As someone so connected with the spirits she could feel he as connected to something dark...... something dead. Still she managed a smile at him before walking into the room with the aid of her cane to stand next to Leo.

Emery had a hurt look on his face as he was basically forced off the bed and onto the floor, he sniffled a little bit as he looked up at the male that he had been cuddling just a few brief moments before. "I was only trying to spend time with you lover boy." he said to him as he pouted some, sniffling a bit before look up at Sy, grinning at her as he waved, letting her distract him. "Hey sexy!!! Come to join our little party?" he said as he chuckled a bit, standing up to dust him self off as he acted as if nothing had happen. Only to stare at the male that had come into the room, blinking in surprise before frowning at the person, moving over towards him to look him over before giving him a charming smile. "Hello handsome. I must admit that a quote from Frankenstein's Monster is inappropriate considering i have always been alive." he said to him as he used his thumb to caress his cheek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon glared at the male before glaring at his sister for a brief moment, quickly tugging a shirt on before blinking slightly at Emery's reaction. "I am not your lover boy and leave my sister out of this." he said to him as he got over protective of his sister once more as he moved to stand between her and the other two males that were now in his room. "Sy do you really think i would do such a thing?" he mumbled to her in a slightly disbelieving voice before glaring at the other two males, trying to think of something to do but coming up with nothing. "Who the hell are you?" he finally asked, gripping Sy's hand to keep her close to him so that the new male could not harm her.

Blair

"Technically so were the body parts that made up the monster before they were made still, death was simply the first transformation" was his rather uncaring reply as he causally referenced the mannequin the male was during the day, those silver eyes flickering slightly. He didn't even move his hands from his pockets as he gazed at the male with an empty, almost dismissive expression. Even the touch of his cheek did not seem to particularly get a reaction out of Blair as he gazed at the other. So he was a flirt.... perhaps that was how he became a mannequin. Flirting with the wrong person could get one in terrible trouble. Still at least Emery was attractive enough to not bother Blair too much even if the half demons stone heart was not so easily made to feel much of anything.

"Still, I don't think that the monster would be quite able to attempt to flirt with three people at once." He added, a flicker of amusement briefly passing through his eyes. He then patted Emery's head much like one would a puppy who had tried a trick with such heart that even though they failed you couldn't scold them. With that he put his hands in his pockets, his eyes flickering towards the over protective brother. Briefly a rather wicked look crossed his eyes and the corner of his lip twitched, the brother had no idea.... A witches' blood could indeed be powerful and to a demon like him most useful. Still, in the long term it wasn't of much use to Blair so he barely even glanced at Sy. Most people he seemed to treat as pests, making them keep their distance as knowing Blair's calculating nature was likely deliberate. He gazed at Leo then, much as one would an annoying bug you were debating squashing as Leo demanded who he was. He was both amused at the male and slightly irritated. He had just been passing by... he hadn't intended to get involved with these people. Still... he did answer.

"Blair...."

Sy

Sy couldn't help but laugh at the flirtatious Em. It was kinda cute, though she couldn't really imagine herself as sexy. She only glanced at the male behind her as he spoke, a thoughtful look briefly crossed her face. He sounded so... Emo and he dressed it too. Still, in those cold, calculating eyes she did not think there was much emotion to speak of. Was it some kind of act? She wasn't sure what to think really, but she knew she just didn't like him. It was mostly because of how his energy felt though, so she felt a little guilty about it. She didn't have time to think about it much, however, as she found her brother blocking her view. It was kinda nice to be protected she thought absently, even if she didn't want her brother anywhere near this 'Blair'.

"Well, you have to find someone eventually Leo. You are at that age." She said teasingly, however, hiding her hunches. Maybe it was nothing after all and she did want to get along with everyone. She smiled and hugged Leo slightly from behind as she picked out at the other two men. A mannequin and some type of night beast... what kind of campus was this? She knew it had enough spiritual energy to drive her crazy but surely it was more then simply an unusual amount of deaths at the campus? What had her mother not told them? The only way to find out was to play good student she supposed. Acting, always acting... so she responded to Blairs introduction no mater how unwilling it seemed.

"I'm sy by the way..."

"Death is something that shall never come for me." Emery whispered against his lips as his gold eyes looked into his silver eyes, something about him reminded him of someone though it was clear he was not letting him of how he was really feeling or thinking. Before he pulled away from him, smiling as always, keeping calm as he smiled at his dear friends. "Ah it is not flirting when you are just having a friendly conversation. I am Lord Emery Igarashi." he said to him as he made a flourish as he bowed some, humming to himself as he moved out the room, planing to go off someplace out, like the feeling that he has been having all night. He already knew about the missing couple, after all just because he was a manniquin during the day did not mean that he was not alive and could not hear things. He had plans to find out more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon's eyes narrowed slightly at the male as him and Emery interacted, when his sister spoke, he tugged her hand slightly to get her to be quirt. Though he did not know that his sister was not a witch unlike the wizard that he is. "Sh." he said to her before turning his teal eyes to the one person he was not fond of at all. "Leon." he said to him simply before he pushed past him, pulling Sy along behind him, following after Emery, after all he knew fully well that the male was up to something, what exactly, well that is what he intends to find out. Which he would much rather do without the aid or nosiness of Blair.

Blair

Blair watched that bow with the same clinical expression, the lord introduction briefly reminding him of those old demons back home. Always posturing and attempting to show of titles. Blair had little use for such things so simply watched Emery with that same dull expression. His only reaction was to bow and say 'm'lord' as the other left, that same teasing amusement seen earlier in his eyes entering his voice. He couldn't help but find anyone still bothering with such a title amusing. It didn't matter if you were a lord or a peasant, your blood was the same so to Blair you were the same. Then again, Blair had stopped letting himself care about anything openly some time ago. Still as he watched the group leave he realized absently they could be advantageous to him, or at least that sticking around would keep them from getting in the way. So with a shrug he followed easily, not seeming bothered by any chance of the others reacting.

Sy

"where are we going?" She asked with a puzzled sigh as Leo dragged her along. She glanced at the demon again to see him following them in a casual way but quickly was more concerned with Leo. He seemed so off... did Blair really piss him off that much? Sure the guy seemed cold and sarcastic but they'd been around worse. Perhaps he'd just picked up on the same energy she did... She glanced at the apparent 'man' and fell into thought. She also wondered what Emery was off too...

Still as they walked, she shuddered slightly. Tonight felt different then most nights and the hair on her neck was prickling. The night was bringing out something in the campus and she wasn't sure she liked it. The blessed moon's magic had two sides that lived side by side, a dark side and a light. As one of it's lights she could sense the dark even more strongly for it and the changeling shifted. She found it difficult to maintain her Bella form for a moment and stopped walking though her only change was her eyes briefly became a little more blue. She shook her head and focused to keep her form stable before she continued on with her eyes back to Bella's. She gripped Leon's hand tighter and muttered something about the spirits acting up to explain it.

Emery had lost track of where he was going, but that didn't mean anything as he finally came to a stop to what was clearly an abandon picnic that some couple must have been having before something horrible happened. He ran a hand through his black curly hair before pulling it back into a pony tail as he carefully examined the scene before him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon glared back at the male that was following after them, he tighten his grip on Sy's hand as he tugged her a bit closer to him. "We have to stick with Em." he whispered to her so that Blair could not hear what they were talking about, he also could not mention that his friend had no powers, well he did but it was very very painful for him to use his own power. It didn't take him long to find his friend, after all he had left a small trail behind, not large enough for others to see but just big enough for him to tell where he went. "Em....." he said to him simply, still not letting go of his sister as he watched the odd actions of his friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Another couple was taken...." he mumbled to him as he was low to the ground, looking very much like spider man when he clings to the wall, though his bright blue eyes were clearly focused as he sniffed at the ground, picking a few things up to lick them and tasting them for a few moments before he stood up to his full six foot two inch height. He looked far more regal, clearly living up to his title, though he clearly saw something that was not there that was hard for the others to sense. "Lee.....you should really prepare for a storm." he said to them as he seemed to be watching something, or looking for something.

Blair

Another? Odd. Stealing couples... that reminded him vaguely of something but he couldn't put his finger on what. Still, a quick smell would likely tell him what, being what he was, if it was anything demonic. He might even get lucky and get cause to take out an old rival or two. He stepped forward, one had fished out of his pocket to pluck a piece of grass from Emery's hair. He brought the simple thing up to his nose to take a scent, though it appeared he had merely drew it close to look at it. It was an odd scent....He frowned slightly.

".... Has someone been playing with demons...I wonder?" He muttered to himself softly. His voice briefly seemed to shift to a slightly more feminine one but just barely as it retained that rather androgynous quality that seemed to fill Blair. He gazed at the grass, his face passive but his mutter had given away his inner uncertainty. The scent was neither demon, nor demon familiar, but some strange in-between that unsettled him. It could be a demon creation..... or some type of infusion? That'd take a pretty high level demon and contract..... most humans would die at that level so the person had to be pretty powerful too. He hadn't sensed anything that high level but he supposed all things considered perhaps he should have expected such a thing?

Sy

Sy nodded as her brother tugged her along but all and all was just uncertain. She bit her lip, glancing at the strange red head briefly before she turned back to Leo. What was Leo thinking? What was going on? And what did this red head have to do with everything? She frowned, feeling a little uncertain as she held onto Leo's hand tightly. She couldn't help but want to stick closer to him and when they arrived on the scene she was glad she had. Instantly her cat like senses reacted, her eye's shifting slightly again as she closed them and felt nausea ripple through her. It was like something dead or unnatural. It made her sick and she had to clutch to leo to keep from falling.

She couldn't describe the scent, it was just.....WRONG somehow. She buried her nose in Leo's shoulder a moment, her cat like senses making the scent too strong for a moment. It took all she had to retain her Bella form, her body instantly wanting to take it's true form in which it could defend itself easiest. She shook her head to clear it as she pushed the feeling away and retained her balance using her cane. She muttered something about having 'tripped' but said nothing otherwise. She simply looked to the man as he spoke wondering how he could know....

Leon nodded his head, he understood what Emery was saying to him, though unlike the others he knew something had been off the moment he came to the clearing, his plant magic told him this much, well the plants around them did but it was only something faint that it was hard for him to tell it was even there. He watched as Blair moved forward to get some grass out of Emery's hair, though he didn't say very much as he listened to what was going on around him. "Sy.....you stayed brushed up on your magic right?" he asked her softly as he squeezed her hand back,s not saying anything about her clinging to him or about her supposedly falling, after all he wanted to keep her close as long as Blair was around.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emery blind slightly and took a step back when Blair reached out towards him, watching as he looked at the bleed of grass but he felt as if he was doing more then looking at it. "Demons aren't a new thing around here." he said as he smiled as if nothing was wrong, chuckling as he waved off what he said as if it was some low level demon that had floated around in the after math of the kidnapping if that is even what it is. "On another note. Shall we look for more clues?" he said to them as he chuckled some, watching what they were doing before he walked off into the woods even more, watching as wild pets ran around them.

Blair

"Is that so?" Was Blair's only response, only the slightest hint of amusement touching his eyes for half a second. He continued looking at the piece of grass a moment, as if seeing something on it. In a way he could... a flickering of dark energy that was clearly demonic. Still, the scent wasn't quite right for a demon, though it had some similarity to a half demon that wasn't right either. Blair also hadn't sensed any others when he arrived... Still, if he was facing a full demon it would suit him better to not be alone. He wasn't quite ready to show himself. So when Em offered the opportunity he simply nodded and followed along as he casually slipped the blade of grass into his pocket. He kept up with em's pace with apparently little effort, but never stepped in front of him.

Sy

"Yeah....." She responded simply. She bit her lip softly as she wondered why he asked. She continued to walk with him, slightly curious as to why he was keeping hold of her so long. Still, she did like him being so sweet towards her, rather then angry, so simply left her hand in his. She did frown as she looked forward, wondering if he'd notice that her magic was so different from that of their family. Their family had always been blessed with the power of day and the power of life, where all her powers drew from the air and night itself.

"Yes because of the hundreds of years that i had been here. There have always been demons and a few other things but mainly demons." Emery said to them as he chuckled, it seemed as if he was joking around but only those that really knew him, knew that he was very serious about it all, and was only trying to lighten up the mood. He stopped every ten feet, bending down to check to area out, clearly looking for more, like signs of what happened to the couple but not finding any just yet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon glanced at Blair as he followed after them, thinking for a few moments before he rubbed thumb across the palm of Sy's hand. "Emery.....is rather unique. Blair." was all he said to the male as he kept his eyes and senses open for anything that could help them figure out who and what keeps taking people away from them. He then looked down at his sister, nodding his head in understanding as he gave her a weak smile as he finally let her go. He moved towards, Emery a bit before stopping, looking back at his twin to make sure that she was okay before moving closer to Blair, looking him over.

Blair

"Yes?" He responded to the other male, those silver eyes turning to him with a bored expression. His response to Emery had simply been a 'really' as well, his mind on other things. Only Leo's almost confrontational approach got his attention to shift back to the group. He was sure he could take the male if he had to.... having spent a few hundred years trapped in hell itself earning a reputation fighting off those who would enslave him or kill him for his half demon roots. He just really didn't want to bother fighting anyone when they'd be so much more useful alive. He had no problem playing demons on one side and human on the other, both viewed him as 'tainted' and tended to try to use him so it seemed only fair. Still, his mischief got the better of him and at hearing Sy's comment he couldn't help but send her an almost flirtatious smile.

Sy

"Blair seems pretty unique too...." Sy responded as she gave her brothers hand a squeeze only to let go. She watched him a moment in thought, a light blush crossed her features at the half demons smile. She hadn't meant it THAT way, just more a thoughtful observation. She moved closer to Emery a moment, more just to show she wasn't trying to flirt with Blair then anything. She was starting to miss her all girl school.. at least they were easier to understand what they found flirtatious.

Leon gave the male a calculating look before placing a hand upon a tree that was next to him, concentrating on it for a few moments as a very soft green glow radiated a bit. One of the Tree's roots shifted just enough to trip Blair, he smiled a bit as he continued on as if nothing had happened, as if he was innocent to it all. "Who cares if Blair is unique? " he said to his sister, glaring at the male as they soon lost track of Emery, which was rather easy since the male knows the grounds way better then any of them. Leon look around quickly before taking Sy's hand once more, tugging her closer to him as he moved away from Blair, clearly more worried about him then what Emery could have possibly ran into. "Why are you here, Blair? You have nothing to do with any of this." he said to him in a vicious voice, his hand tightening around the hand that he held. He quickly looked around, sniffling a bit as his allergies were starting to get aggravated a bit, clearly there was a cat around some place. As he moved around, keeping his eyes open for Emery he could see little signs of struggle occasionally you could tell that something had been dragged through the underbrush, it looked as if someone or something was dragging something very heavy.

Blair

Blair merely stood where he was as Leo gave him that rather obvious look but his curiosity was slightly peaked. Leo was starting to look less like a protective older brother and more a jealous unrequited love. He couldn't help but smirk, now expecting a trap of some kind. When it was only a tripping branch he merely shifted to avoid it, a little disappointed. That was all he was going to try? How boring.... still it had potential. Misplaced love, especially one so trapped with social disapproval as apparent incest, could be used for many purposes. At the question he merely shrugged and moved to catch up with Emery. When he spoke it was in an almost sing song voice.

"Who knows? Maybe I'm just a bit of a detective.... Maybe I just prefer going after things before they come after me."

Sy

Sy watched the exchange between the two men, puzzled. Why was Leo so angry about Blair? He kinda reminded her of that one girl who had a crush- No..... Not her straight laced 'brother'. He still believed she was Sybella didn't he? She bit her lip at the thought and her hand closed around his hand as he took hers. She shifted closer to him obediently as she turned her uncertain eyes onto Leo. She liked him being protective, but it was a little puzzling. Finally she mumbled a response to what he said to her even as she thought over blair's response.

"I... it was just an observation, I didn't mean anything by it..."

Emery stood there in shock for a bit, staring at the apparition of the female that was before him. He had not seen her in more than a thousand years or was it a hundred, he couldn't remember it had all been so long ago. All he could do is stand there with a slightly shocked look upon his face as he watched it, he could see that something was off about the apparition, though it soon disappeared when the others showed up, all that was left was a few wisps of it, he knew that they had not seen it. He slowly gathered himself together, smiling at everyone as if it was all normal, he looked at everyone for a few minutes, but those that knew him could tell there was something wrong.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You...." Leon growled, this person was just pissing him off, all he could do is go with the impulses that were seeming to take over him. He instantly let go of Sy as he grabbed the male, shoving him into a tree, his teal eyes appearing more green then teal. "EGO don't fides vos unus frenum Blair quod fides mihi ut inquam ego sum iens ut vigilo vos. Si vos operor quisquam quod ego vilis quisquam ut vulnero meus concero vel meus amicus. EGO mos hunt vos down quod iuguolo vos." he said to her in Latin, using a low and deadly tone of voice as his grip on Blair tightened, as the tree behind him shifted as if to hold onto him, to embrace him from behind. Though when Sy spoke up, he couldn't help but turn his deadly gaze to her, if looks could kill his would have surely killed someone already maybe even the plants around them. But that was impossible considering he could only heal. He tried his hardest to keep his temper in check, but he couldn't help shoving him into the tree, letting him get hurt by the bark on the said tree. Moving away from him as he took Sy's hand once more as he moved on before coming to a stop as he almost ran into Emery who had clearly not heard them.

Blair

Blair felt it, a powerful magical energy that was so similar to his own in some ways. He tilted his head towards it, able to feel something that made the demon in him squirm with delight. A truly damned soul... One who had sold itself to hell, and one given a demon's 'gift'. Power for your soul, such a foolish bargain but a seductive one. He could feel his own demon blood tingling with excitement and knew for certain now that another demon was trying for the energy here. It was not a surprise really but all the same it was irritating. He was not in the mood to deal with those souless pure-bloods interference. Before he could try and do anything to trap or investigate the being, however, he felt someone rushing him. He looked towards Leo with no particular expression, appearing rather amused. With his demonic strength it would have been easy to push Leo away but not half as fun as some of his other options. Instead of pushing him away the half demon threw an arm around Leo's shoulders and pulled him tightly to his chest.

"Perhaps you are smarter then you look my little lion, but it seems the only one attacking is you..... and leaving you're friend in danger as you do. Poor Em, I wonder if that thing who was with him cares for your warning?" He whispered in Leo's ear before he bit it softly. He released the boy after that and put his hand in his pocket again, but with a little more tension in his muscles. Not out of actual pain or anything like that, hell itself tended to be rougher then treebark. No, he was preparing to dodge any retaliation or any more plant magic even as he turned to catch up to Em. He could sense the Damned Soul had left but perhaps he could get a little from where she had left.... since it was demonic he could possibly track it or at least identify the m.o. of a similiar demon to get a hint at what type the soul had made a contract with.

Sy

Sy frowned at her brother, even she could tell they didn't have time for that. She also had a feeling threats simply amused the creature, as if to Blair it wasn't much different from 'hello, how do you do?'. She bit her lip and had reached forward towards Leo when she was stopped by Blair's actions. She flushed, not use to seeing her brother touched. She felt a small flicker of jealousy but quickly pushed it aside. She had no right to feel such things... Instead she needed to prevent the fight. To do so she soon had both her arms around his and was tugging on him to pull him away from the mysterious blair.

"Em needs us, stop this... Please Leo?" She begged quietly as she pulled. Still, after a moment she fell heavily into Leo's side as she trembled from head to toe. She had felt a spirit.... a very dark spirit that physically made her ill for some reason. She shook her head as the feeling left as quickly as it came. She began to pull Leo with more determination, one hand around his arm and the other on her cane. She mumbled something about there being a 'bad spirit' near Emery.

Leo scowled at being pulled into the male's chest, his fingers seemed to sink into the tree behind them as he dug them in. Of course the words that came out of Blair's mouth pissed him off even more, and why wouldn't they? Of course he is smarter then he looked, after all he got nothing but straight As in class so he could sleep them them or not even show up and still pass them but that was besides the point. He jerked at the nip to his ear, shooting the male a look that could not be interpreted by anyone. He watched the male walk away, frustrated even more that he believed that he was joking around, he gave a very frustrated yell before he easily pulled the tree down. His teal eyes more green then anything else as he glared angrily after him only to have his anger directed towards Sy when she started tugging him away from the fight that seemed to be thick in the air, even if it had not broken out yet. He was ready to yell at her, his temper easily being directed to something else but it was soon deflated as his sister seemed to go limp against him. This caused worry to cross his face as he caught her in his arm, holding her princess style as he searched her face to make sure that she was fine. "Sy are you alright? Stop worrying about Em he can handle him self." he said to her as he growled slightly, he only added Em into his threat so it didn't seem like he was only concerned about his sister.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emery jumped at Blair just coming up behind him, he quickly turned towards everyone that had came up behind him, a confused look was clear on his face as he tried to figure up when they had showed up. He soon smiled charmingly at them as he put arm around Blair. Keeping him close to him as he moved them away from the area, he wanted to be as far away from the place that was bringing back so many memories that he had long forgotten. "Well we better get back to the house. The sun is almost up and you guys have a long day a head of you." he said to them as he chuckled, moving them back to the mansion, glancing worriedly back towards where he had seen the apparition at, he can only imagine what it would be like if she had been there now and completely sane.

Blair

"Being you'll be stuck as a mannequin I'd think your day will be longer." He responded to Em with an amused tone. He did nothing to prevent the male from holding onto him. In fact the red head merely leaned into the male as if enjoying it, his hands still in his pockets. He saw no reason not to use a little flirtation even if it was rather obvious to him em was trying to pull them away from the area. Perhaps he knew the poor damned soul and was trying to avoid it... foolish and emotional. Still, he would let the others do the heavy lifting for now. He would only say anything if they asked for help for now.

Sy

Sy let out a soft sound of surprise as she was suddenly lifted princess style into the other's arms. She blushed faintly and glanced at him as she half hid her embarrassment in his chest. She quickly pushed away the thought, however, as now was not the time to be embarrassed. She was uncertain if she should say all of what she sensed... she would then have to explain how she knew and she expected Leo may get angry. He could be a little over protective after all and knowing that sy had once accidentally summoned a lesser demonic spirit would likely make him angry. Sure, she had beat it as despite not knowing what it was as mother had simply said she should 'clean up her own mess' but Leo would likely be upset that she was as good as left to die. Their mother's teaching tactics were not so kind or suited to Leo's powers... but apparently very suited to Sy's. Still, he had to know...

"I... there was a spirit with Em. It wasn't human anymore, it was truly evil and dark.... enough to make me feel ill, as if it's tainted by something. The only time I've had that happen was when i was in contact with something demonic. I wouldn't call it fully demonic but.... it has the same taint. We might all be in more danger then you realize" She whispered to Leo in explanation after taking a deep breath and waiting for Blair to get out of hearing range. She didn't want to say she was pretty sure their mother had deliberately tricked her into it, or that she'd summoned it. She shifted nervously in his arms as she glanced to Em. Why hadn't he said anything? Done anything? Could he be connected with the spirit somehow? She was puzzled by em's behavior though she didn't believe he'd done so on purpose.

"Look darling just because i am a manniquin during the day doesn't mean a thing at all." Emery said to him as he chuckled, glancing at his friend as he gave her a nod, letting him know it was all fine. In the mean time he could only smile as he moved them towards the mansion, thinking on what he saw. The black haired male ran a hand through his hair as he looked around the area once more, keeping a very careful eye out for anything that could happen on there little hike.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon smiled softly as he looked at his sister, his eyes then wandered towards Emery as he got a look from him, he nodded before he slowly started to follow after the two males. Listening to what Sy was saying to him, which caused him to stop as he looked down at her. "Sy........" he said to her as he sighed heavily, setting down as he rested his hands on her shoulders, looking her straight in the eye as he thought for minutes, clearly doing it more or less to calm down. "Okay, Bella. Listen to me. This place is full of demons, evil witches and wizards. We have to try and save this magical place from them....and figure out how to save Em." he then hugged her close to him, placing a hand on the back of her head as he held her to his chest. "I will protect you and Em.....I will never let what happened to you, happen again." he whispered to her, no he didn't know what happened to her with their mom, he was talking about the fire she had been in, he always swore up and down that a demon had caused it but no one would listen to him. He hugged her tightly before turning to catch up with the other two, a bit more calm then he was before, more relaxed to the point he wasn't really worried about anything, not even Blair.

Blair

"oh but plastic is so cold." Was blair's teasing reply as he gazed out towards the sky while keeping his arm over the other males shoulder. Still, he tensed suddenly and simply put a hand out to stop em from moving forward. At that same instant a rush of shadow had bubbled up and a blade would be heading towards em. Someone didn't seem to like blair and em cuddling. Blair smirked slightly as he moved with the shadow so he could grip what soon became a solid wrist under his fingers with one hand, solidifying the demon with his own vampiric touch though it would appear he had done nothing out of the ordinary. They didn't need to know all his secrets yet. As he did this he raised his ring hand and his sword formed. He tossed the demonic summon to the side, his sword severing its head. His weapon was gone back into ring form before the body hit the floor before it disappeared in mist.

"Seems someone doesn't like you cuddling. You aren't two timing me now are you my pretty statuette?" he taunted as he glanced around them, acting as if he hadn't killed the summon in less then a second a moment before. He sensed no more demonic summons... perhaps it hadn't been deliberate? An emotional reaction of some sort? Still, it could have been the campus' magic was temporarily ramped up and it'd been mere coincidence. He wasn't sure... but he had a feeling it had been deliberately to do with Em. Just what was he involved in? Perhaps whoever did this to the man had used the campus to amplify their own power and become a slave to that power. It wouldn't be the first time.

Sy

"So that's why mom sent me here..... i figured that line about me needing to get out of all girl schools for the good of my social skills was bs." She responded slowly. Still, she wasn't so sure about any of this. it all felt so wrong... Still as he clutched her so suddenly she couldn't help but blush. It was warm, he was always so warm. She leaned into him a moment but suddenly she was gripping him tighter then she had before. She felt that same sick feeling but this time it didn't surprise her enough to make her lose her balance. She turned towards the source and had almost summoned her weapon when she saw it was already being taken care of before she or em or anyone could react.

His sword. When he summoned it he felt like... a demon. She watched him a moment, still in her tracks. Why did he feel like a demon for a moment? Why had he sensed the demonic summon coming so much before she had? Sensitivity was her specialty after all. Did that mean demons could hide behind some human exterior? She bit her lip and hung onto her brother, had the power of the campus overwhelmed her senses so they were duller? She wasn't afraid of fighting demons and evil wizards and witches... she was afraid of the idea they could hide behind a pretty vernier..... of course she had no way of knowing that blair felt human only because blair could hide behind 'his' human half.
((blair's been pushed around and been a jokester so long I decided to give her a bad ass moment xD))

"Plastic maybe cold but the night is colder to those with no heart." Emery mumbled, stopping a moment when Blair had stopped him only to cause him to get a serious look upon his face. His skin started to go pale as if he was sick, though before he could even give a good reaction or a noticeable one, the demon that had been trying to kill the ancient male was dead. He was left a bit speechless, looking at Blair with a wondering look. "So your not all bark like you appear." he said to him before he continued walking on towards the mansion, he had a feeling that something was off but he didn't say anything as he continued on. "People do what they want.......if i am two-timing then i am doing it unknowingly. I am sorry that you were all dragged into this." he said to him as he sighed, looking up to the lightening sky, He could already feel himself turning back into a mannequin, which was made clear by the plastic pinky finger that was on the hand that he had been holding onto her with. Though he was truly sadden that people that were not involved in this mess years ago where now dragged into it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yea.....but she did mean that also." Leon said to her as he sighed heavily, patting her head as she clung to him, he loved his sister but sometimes things were just complicated between them. Letting her go as he followed after his friend, sighing some before pulling Sy after him, keeping an eye on those in front of them. Seeing the demon come out of nowhere, his first instinct was to use the plants to pull them towards him but before he could do anything it was soon dead. He glared at the male, not feeling impressed by what he did at all. "Stop worrying, Em. As for you....seems like you can fight." he grumbled to them. The sad thing was he could see Emery changing, this caused him to curse, grabbing the male's hand he quickly moved with him and got him back into the place he was at in the hall as the first rays of the sunlight hit his face, turning him into plastic once more.
