Westin Hills' West Wing- conference room

:: As Alison watched...she saw the protective MOTHER in Karen come out. even at this younger age, Karen's eyes are fierce and intimidating..her elegance turns into an intimidating force...she does not back down from the much larger man, who is noticeably dressed in a suit with a priest's collar. a rabid religous father....with a mutant daughter? that was definately a solid lead...but there had to be more!::

:: Alison watches as the argument concludes with the father condeming Karen and cursing her for her godless and wicked ways. She turns to look down at the young Delilah who was in the hallway. she was going to ask her a question but the little girl was gone! and when she turns back....so were the younger Dr. Victoria and Delilah's father. the room was now in "present day"...old, dark, abandonned and full of dust, with only whispers of past pain and sorrow in the temporal waves in the air.::

.....it was...just like being in Limbo! but yet and still, in interacted with the younger Delilah...she called out to me...she KNEW that i would sense her! my powers as a Seer DO work...just not the way i might want them!

:: Guardian felt a small sense of relief..a sense of direction and the CONTROL that she craved when dealing with any crisis.::

:: but her moment of serenity was shattered as her senses readjusted and she saw Morgan and the others down the hall. Morgan was clearly upset and the others were trying to keep up with her. She ran down the hall to them.::

I'm sorry....but i SAW something....something detailed!

:: she wanted to tell them but HOW would Delilah react? especially right now? she got the reprieve she needed when the two demonic cops appeared on their floor...down the hall in the OTHER direction that Morgan had sensed her mother.::

there's no time to talk! LOOK!

:: she pointed her gloved hand through the group and down the left direction.::

they're going to that room! that must be where Karen is!!

:: Alison motioned for everyone to follow them. it was time to confront these bastards, and make them REGRET hurting and kidnapping the doctor. but Had Alison forgotten so soon that in this place, things might not ALWAYS go as planned?::
 
Westin Hills- awake at last!

<< the blackness of unconsciousness. after a while, its almost comforting to be nestled away from all awareness. there's no sense of urgency, no worry...NOTHING! but of course...it comes to an end...and the darkness painfully gives way to LIGHT!>>

<< Karen, although older now, looks very beautifull, and despite a head injury, she lay serenly in her black, regal flying suit. she was in a bed, inside hospital room...and as she groaned...her opal blue eyes opened....>>

ohhhhh.....

<< she tried to sit up, but she was nauseated, groggy...unable to move.>>

where...where am i?

<< her voice hollow and weak..>

<< as she started to see better and became more aware...so too was the PAIN more pronounced..as she winced from it.>>

UGH!!! my HEAD!!

<< as she looked around the battered and obviously damaged room, she began to feel like she knew this place...but even as she began to gain more sense of self and space around her...the guards appeared in her room.>>

YOU AGAIN!!

<< she cried out as she tried to get up, but she found herself restrained! the male guard came forward..his finger now elongated and transformed into a large, terrifying syringe with a spinning edge. the female held the protesting doctor down as he came toward her.>>

NO!!! DONT TOUCH ME!!!

<< the doctor screamed with defiance>>

HELP ME!!!
 
Westin Hills---West Wing

Nicolas squatted down very low. At this point he was trying to concentrate, trying to make sense of what was going on. Mprgan was so disoriented that she almost turned on Delilah and himslef, but she came out only to declare that there were TWO karen's here!!! Nicolas squatted down, prepared to leap, where exactly he knew not, he would wait until he got some certainty...

Suddenly Alison pointed to the two guards from the abduction as they went into a room. He could then sense Karen, tied to a bed in the room!!!!

Roaring, Nicolas leaped forward, covering the hall's length and using his hand to guide him THROUGH the door. He saw the female guard struggling with Karen and as the male approached her, Nicolas leaped at them both, pulling them off of Dr. Victoria. As he leaped, Karen's shackles released her, thanks to his TK.
 
Haleigh sat nonchalantly on the desk, browsing files on the computer... she found Dr. Victoria's office... but she could tell they were 'stalled' somwhere in the late eighties... because the computer was less user friendly and files were kept hardcopy. They didn't have time to go on a fact finding mission... and haleigh sighed softly, as the rest of the group noticed Alison had wandered away and everyone took turns spazzing out, taking off after her. Haleigh watched them go, a curious look on her face. She realized the gravity of the situation, but still had a fix on where Alison was and noted how tense everyone was by how they overreacted to the situation at hand. Haleigh saw a bright flash of light around the corner and hopped off the desk, following the group around the corner to find them.

"Okay... calm down... I can still sense her.... shes right down there... no need to be alarmed."

Haleigh's voie was low and steady... a sharp contrast to the raging desperation of some of her teammates... there was something about the eerie, dark stillness of this place.... something quiet that, in perhaps the scariest effect of all, seeped into Haleigh's conscious and kept her from reacting the same way as her teammates. It wasn't that she didn't care for Karen or Alison... but rather... something else that subdued her emotions.

"There's something else too.... three of them... shes.... shes interacting with one... but I don't think its real... its like--" She paused... and changed direction. "We're not alone. Guards.... the ones who kidnapped her... they're here... moving about... I think they're looking for Karen.... wait.... they found her! She's there!"

She said, as both Morgan and Alison reacted also. Haleigh could hear Karen calling for help.... but was it happening now? or had it already happened? or was it going to happen soon? They'd already established they were in a time anomaly... any given thing could be from a different time.

"Half of us should go to her... the rest, stay with me.... we'll be right here... we can offer help if you need... and stand watch otherwise. Morgan, Nicolas, Persephone, you go check it out. Delilah, Alison, you two stay here... you've got something you need to discuss. Ethan... help me keep an eye out... and protect ourselves from a trap."
 
Westin Hill - East Wing

Ethan kept trying to keep his eye on Alison but it seems like she was just going too fast for him to keep with her. She was moving slow but fast at the same time like some creepy horror movie that reminded him of that demon walking through the asylum in House on Haunted Hill, before he knew it, everyone was chasing after Morgan and Alison was still not in sight. He chased after her with the rest of them.

"It didn't make sense I kept on losing her, I could hear her talking. She isn't in the same place as we are.. It's like she is somewhere else, but I think she is our best bet! I think she is seeing just the reason why Delilah is connected to this. From what I can tell from the layout and decoration of the building, we have to be in the 80's and plus it would fit the timeframe of Delilah's childhood. We have to find Alison though.. we can't lose her, I just have this feeling I can't shake.. that if we don't find her.. something bad is going to happen..."

And at that very moment, Alison returned to the others as she tried to explain to them what had happened to make her flee from the group. They watched the Demonic Guards enter a room that would most likely have Karen Victoria. He thought for a moment.

"Not the best time for an ambush! WE don't know how many of those things are in here or even if they are the big bad, the ringleader. Haleigh's right, from a tactical standpoint..."
 
Westin Hills

:: Hearing Karen scream out for help, before she could even react, Nicolas burst through the doors like a wild animal, attacking the guards. Well....it was unorthodox, but effective. Running into the room behind Nicolas, he had telekentically unleashed Karen from her binds. Running to Karen's side, she placed a reassuring hand on her forearm, helping her sit up. ::

"Are you alright, Karen?"

:: Looking behind her, seeing Nicolas still fighting with the guards, she was confident that he could handle himself while she and Morgan helped get Karen out of harms way. ::
 
Westin Hills, the west wing

<< Karen couldnt focus enough to cast a spell, or even "transport" out of the binds and from the look of things, the demonic guards were about to drill into her head. she struggled as best she could but just as it seemed all hope was lost, Rampage burst into the room!>>

<< the guards were shocked as they were now being viciously attacked, and Karen found herself FREE of the binds. struggling to get up, she felt Persephone's hand...and grabbed it with her own...tightly at first but her grip loosened as she regained more of her balance and sense of self.>>

Persephone...Rampage...thank the goddess you're here!

<< she replied as she steadied her breathing. Persephone asked if she was all right. Karen's pupils were dialated and it was obvious she was still a bit disoriented.>>

it all happened so FAST! the last thing i remember...is running through the halls of my office in soho...and now I'm here.....at..

<< she said softly>>

Westin Hills!

<< it was clear there was a tone of regret in her voice. and she had an obvious head injury as well.>>

Persephone....the others...are they here as well?
 
Westin Hills- West Wing

<< Spellbinder heard her mother scream for help and as Haleigh suggested that half go for Karen and the other half remain in the center of that hall, she agreed.>>

I'm going for my mother...

<< turning to run, she turned back to Haleigh>>

I think...the effect we're seeing here is similar to what happens in LIMBO..random "temporal phantoms" , events that have already happened, playing out again at random as the boundaries of time and space blur....thats why i sensed my mother in TWO Places...only the one that was to the RIGHT is now gone!

<< Morgan would have to finish this later...she ran with Rampage and Persephone to the room where her mother was...Rampage had burst in and pulled the demons off of Karen and freed her....and while Persephone was now by Karen's side. Spellbinder and Persephone needed to get Karen out of harm's way....but before that, Morgan grabbed the female guard, who was coming in for another attack by her neck and pulled her from Rampage just as the woman was approaching him with a large double edged blade.>>

HOW DARE YOU attack my mother!

<< she screamed as she hurled the woman through the window and out into the hall, the glass shattered as the woman's body crashed into the wall outside. But before the sorceress could follow up the attack the guard BLINKED OUT!>>

<< Hoping that Haleigh would be able to track her if she came back into the hospital, Morgan left the male to be dealt with by Rampage and she went over to Persephone and her mother>>

MOM!

<< she looked at her head...>>

we came as quickly as we could.....

<< she waved her hand in front of the wound on her mothers head as a small trail of sparkling magick flowed around it and healed the wound completely.>>

Persephone, please generate a breeze to give her some FRESH air to breathe..it will help her to better calm down...we've got to prepare to get out of here.

<< she turned to look over her shoulder to see what Rampage was doing with his assailant. >>

We're here now mom....Persephone and I will make sure no harm comes to you again...and we're ALL getting out of here.

<< or so Morgan THOUGHT.>>
 
Westin Hills- putting things together

:: Black Widow's idea to split up in this instance was sound but Guardian wanted to go with the others to help Karen. she realized it was better that she stay behind with Black Widow, Ethan and MorningStar. so many things were happening all at once...it was GOOD to have an extra person WITH powers there to help even the odds. and with that in mind, she relaxed her hostility towards Ethan just a bit.::

:: she looked rather dismayed as the others took off for the real Karen::

I should be there with them.

:: she paused for a moment, thinking about what Haleigh and Morgan had just said in regards to the detections and temporal distortions.::

Morgan is right and I think i realize now why my powers as a "seer" arent functioning the way i'm accustomed to.

:: looking at Haleigh and Ethan::

what drew me away, was a temporal phantom....just like what we see sometimes when we are in Limbo. Only HERE...i apparently am the only one who can "see" or interact with them because of how my power relates to time.

:: taking a moment to decide the best way to say this::

What..or WHOM i saw was YOU, Delilah, as a young girl. Just as i saw in my vision back in Soho. She was crying out for help, not in a conventional way...but in a way that radiated across the temporal barriers. I think she was trying to WARN ME....of....her...YOUR father.

I saw Karen, as a younger doctor, most likely as an intern here in the late 70's or early 80's based on her look.

<< as the fight rages on at the other end of the hall... Guardian leans against the counter of the nurses station.>>

Ethan is right in that despite this whole area being inside of a temporal/spatial anamoly, what we are experience the most is of "THE PAST"....its not so much about Morgan as it is HER MOTHER and Delilah. Morgan, herself said that she knew nothing about "Westin Hills" save the rumours and "urban legends" shared among her child hood and highschool friends and that at one point there was mass incidence of children "going on vacation" when in fact she later learned that many of those children who went on vacation were in fact committed to westin hills for childhood PSYCHOSIS!

Karen was a doctor here...she must have TREATED some of those children...and one of them must have been...Delilah.

:: looking at Delilah, Alison spoke as gently as she could about what she had experienced just before the others found her.::

I think i better SHOW you this....so that you can see for yourself.....

:: extending her hand, Guardian swings it out and around, a sparkling liquid effect trials behind her hand as she swings her arm as she weaves a Scrying Pool.::

:: the pool shimmers and sparkles until images come into focus..::

:: on her way to the doors, there was a gallery of "missing/exploited" children's photots on the wall...the headshots of those children TURNED and WATCHED as Guardian passed them. their eyes all showing a look of sorrow and distress.::

<< now making her way down the dreaded hallway to the west wing..it was definately darker here than in most other parts of the hospital. the hallway seemed to LENGTHEN as if to suggest just how far she had strayed from her friends...her family.>>

<< the sounds of anguish and pain from the little girl grew steady and louder now. Alison was coming closer....and as she pushed through the worn double doors into the west wing, she found herself in a new place where it looked like there had been a bloody massacre. but she didnt flinch..she slowly crept forward, looking here and there.>>

<< FINALLY she rounded a corner..and found a little girl laying against the wall, looking away from Alison. and a room, nearby...in that room the sounds of a bitter, heated argument could be heard. a man and a woman whose voice was terribly familiar. but for the moment, the little girl was in front of Alison.>>

:: she bent down a bit...::

are you okay?

:: she said in as soft and smooth of a tone as she could manage::

what's the matter??

:: she went to touch the little girl on her shoulder.::

ORACLE------

<<the little girl's head turns around sharply, and to Alison's shock, its DELILAH as a little girl!! but she doesnt look anything like she did in the vision. her face is badly bruised...she's been beaten..SAVAGELY. one of her eyes swollen shut....she looks...grotesque. clearly a victim of violent abuse>>

-----------

::GASP!::

:: Alison covers her mouth with shock...and a pang of grief in her icy, marble hard heart. who could DO this to a child? the little girl has been crying...::

honey....who...who DID THIS TO YOU?

<< the little girl doesnt attempt to get up..she's too worn down. she shakes as Alison holds out her gloved hand....>>

Little Delilah: my father....he says I have satan's power in me..that i'm tainted and that i must be chastised to stay on the straight and narrow path....

::Guardian looks horrified as the girl speaks...this is Delilah..she senses it CLEARLY NOW...but there has been NO INDICATION to date that Delilah was abused as a child. she never spoke of it..nor did Morgan or KAREN. could this be one of the past memories repressed in Delilah's psyche? a ghost from this hospital's past that reaches out to the only person who could SEE it?::

oh ...goddess...

:: Guardian shakes her head...and looks up...to her right is the room...there's a man, arguing furiously with a woman...its KAREN but she's younger and wearing a white lab coat...her hair is styled in a "farrah fawcett feather".::

Karen....

:: she looks down at the little girl...::

honey, is that your father in there?

<< the little girl nods slightly>>

Little girl: yes...he's not happy. He says that Karen Victoria is a godless woman. she's a witch...she's satan's bride. He doesnt want me to see her anymore....but..I like Karen. She understands me. she say's im NOT evil...that i'm SPECIAL....

I dont want to go home with him....please don't let him take me....

:: Alison gulped as she looked...and could now hear more CLEARLY the argument going on between the younger Karen Victoria and Delilah's opressive, verbally abrasive father...::

:: the view in the scrying pool shifts::

<< cold comfort for the precog....as she began to put together SOME of the mystery surrounding Karen and Delilah. All the while she was STILL unaware that Morgan was screaming down the hall to get her attention, or that the others were following! all she could do now...was watch the argument unfolding in the conference room between a young Dr. Victoria, and Delilah's crazed father.>>


Dr. Victoria: Mr. Trelevan, your abuse of Delilah will NOT go unchecked. What you are doing to her is damaging on a variety of levels and as her doctor, i CANNOT allow it to continue!

Father: Spoken like the true spawn of satan that you are. I KNOW about you...you filthy WITCH. You try to pervert my daughter....tell her that satan's power is something SPECIAL! I will purify her....with FIRE if i have to! I should've gave her to god the day she came out of her whore of a mother's womb!

<< Karen grits her teeth with disgust.>>

Dr. Victoria: THIS is the END Mr. Trelevan...there will be no more "accidents"..no more BEATINGS! I will walk through FIRE to make sure that you NEVER have control over this child's life AGAIN!

:: the scrying pool shimmers away.::

this HAPPENED....I saw it as a temporal replay. It clearly indicates that Karen was Delilah's doctor at some point and that she was trying to protect Delilah from a man who appeared to be her father. This hospital is some kind of focal point for this town, at least as we see it now. We need to find ALL the files with a cross reference between Karen and Delilah...
 
back down the hall...

<< out in the hall, Spellbinder and Persephone help Karen into a wheel chair while Rampage deals with the last of her assailants...at least from what they could tell.>>

you rest, mother. We'll take care of you.

<< looking at Persephone.>>

between the two of us we should be able to handle anything that comes.

<< she looks back at Rampage, knowing he's got the situation well in hand and that he'll join them shortly as they make their way down the hall to the T intersection to meet with Guardian, Black Widow, MorningStar and Ethan.>>

we've got my mother...she's allright now, just a little fatigued.

<< she said as she pushed the wheelchair carrying her mother down the hall toward the group but even as she was reaching the group....things took a turn for the worst.>>
 
the assault begins anew

<< in the hall, between Spellbinder, Perspehone, Karen and Black Widow, Guardian, MorningStar and Maverick, two large men BLINKED into view. they had the same pale, demonic appearence as the two guards that were after Karen and they were both carrying large bloody machete's>>

<< the IMMEDIATELY lunched for Karen, despite being in the presence of Spellbinder and Persephone!>>

<< one of the hospital alarms began to go off as well...suggesting there was either a fire or some other disturbance in the building.>>
 
Westin Hills---West Wing

As Morgan grabbed the female guard from his grasp, Nicolas focused on the male guard, grabbing his leg and tossing him across the room.

"I'm going to ENJOY this!!"

But as Nicolas approached the guard, he BLINKED from view. Nicolas left the room quickly to join the others...more than a little puzzled, when two more large demonic beings appeared in the team's midst, brandishing machetes as a siren began to wail throughout the building.

Nicolas quickly rejoined the group and stepped forward to intercept the beings as they lunged for Karen Victoria. He used his axe to block their way and made the floor beneath them ripple like a wave, pushing them backwards...
 
Westin Hills- the west wing

<< Spellbinder gasped as the two men appeared...but before she could fire an eldritch bolt, Rampage used his axe to block their way and send them rolling back from the ripples in the floor.>>

they keep coming!

<< she stood in front of her mother while Persephone stood behind Karen in the wheel chair and a chime sounds off as Spellbinder ignites a pentagram of protection around the three of them.>>

Whatever happens mom, don't leave the pentagram of protection! they can't get through THIS...but Perspehone and I can come OUT and deal with THEM!

<< and not a moment two soon...as MORE pale, demonic looking humanoids began to blink into view with various exaggerated looking blades and sycthes etc. while some were weilding TORCHES the looked like...members of a CULT! coming from the T inersection at all angles, the nurses station and even out of some of the rooms>>

<< Spellbinder looked around...>>

we're TRAPPED!

<< she extened her hand forward...and fired an eldritch bolt at two of the creatures....>>
 
Westin Hills---West Wing

Nicolas watched as more creatures began to blink into view in an attempt to overwhelm them. As Morgan sets up a mystical protective barrier,Nicolas steps forward turns and throws his axe down towards the nurses station, using his TK to accelerate its spin and send it hurtling to the area as a horizontal blade of death.
Meanwhile Morgan's bolts struck two of the creatures and he siezed the next closest one, grabbing its face and slamming it to the ground as he held up his left hand. The axe turned and came back to his outstretched hand as he looked to strike this demon down as well.
 
Westin Hills

:: there was little time for Haleigh, Alison and Ethan to discuss the situation...let alone know how Delilah would handle what she'd just been shown. Morgan and Ava were coming down the hall with Karen in a wheel chair. the doctor looked rather fatigued and disoriented.::

:: two large men with bloody machetes appeared. probably among those responsible for the massacre in this west wing. but as Morgan gasped, Rampage blocked their advance on Karen and sent them flying back with a ripple on the floor.::

:: Guardian took full advantage of this, and gestures ala' Prue Halliwell. A rushing chiming sound is heard as the two men are TK'ed...FLUNG like helpless rag dolls face forward into walls nearby. they both grunt with pain as they fall to the floor...not moving. but as they blink out..MORE arrive, weilding horrific looking weapons...ceremonial daggers and torches. they're all around, closing in on them from all entries!::

:: Spellbinder surroundes Karen in a pentagram of protection and attacks two more of the demonic looking men while Guardian turns to face those coming down the hall behind her.::

they're trying to KEEP US from find out more of what's going on! Stay together everyone...pick a direction to face..and draw your line! we hold them off long enough until we can figure out how to get out of here!

:: as Morgan remarked on the way they were dressed..all looking similar and the nature of the weapons..it did appear they might be in a cult. She remembered that Delilah's father was dressed in a suit with priest's collar. perhaps it was a religious sect? was HE the leader of it?::

:: looking very determined and irritated she begins thrusting her hands forward ala' Piper Halliwell, Guardian begins to BLOW UP one or two at a time...but for every handfull she takes down...MORE come.::
 
Westin Hills

:: Nodding to Karen reassuringly, Persephone helped Karen to her feet as Morgan came into the room and went on the offensive. ::

"Everyone's here, Karen. Don't worry."

:: Morgan finally joined the two woman, noticebly relieved that her mother was alright. Hearing Morgan's request for fresh air, Persephone nodded as a waved her hand in front of Karen's face. Immediately a breeze--slightly colder than room temperature--began to flow all around Karen's body, like an invisibly tornado breeze. It would help Karen calm herself and relax. ::

:: Helping Karen out of the room and to the wheel chair, before Rampage could join them, two male guards appeared in the center of the room. Between Herself, Morgan, and Karen, and Alison, Ethan, Haleigh, and Delilah. The men immediately lunged toward Karen, but Rampage acted quickly. Intercepting the attack, Morgan immediately put up a pentegram of protection, keeping Karen safe. ::

:: Seeing the men advance toward Alison, and Morgan, Ava turned to see two more men appear behind herself as well. ::

"Multiply like rabbits, don't they."

:: Stepping out of the pentegram of protection, but staying close to Karen, winds began to pick up in the hallway coridoor. Whistling and howling could be heard intensifying as the winds became even more intense. It was barely even audiable to hear the rest of the fighting from the other team members. Lifting her arms out to her sides, the strong winds alone made the two men stumble in their tracks, stalling them from coming closer toward her. Thrusting her arms forward, a MASSIVE gail force blast of wind SLAMMED into both men, sending them hurling through the remaining length of the hallway and THROUGH numerous brick walls that seperated the different rooms of the hospital. ::

:: The winds continued to flow through the hallway in which the six fought in, but without as much intensity. Persephone's long brunette locks blew forward as she turned toward Karen to see if she was alright. Stepping back into the pentegram of protection, Persephone placed her hand on Karen's shoulder and leaned down closer to Karen's ear. Speaking in a more elevated voice because of the wind's howls and screams, the area around Karen stayed calm. Allowing her to recover from her ordeal. ::

"Are you feeling better?"
 
Haleigh reacted quickly as Karen and the others came back and two new guards began to harrass them. Rampage pushed them back, giving Haleigh and the rest time to move into place as more cronies appeared.

"Everyone fall in around Karen!"

She called, as she took up a side and began to fight everything coming down the hall ahead of her. She fired her shotgun in rapid succession, and these were no lightweight ammunition, as they hit their target, they detonated small explosive charges that nearly disentigrated the victims completely. As soon as she made a slight clearing in the corridor, she manifested a thick steel wall to close off the hall in front of her, and slammed it into place, halving a couple of the demons coming her way. She watched them pull themselves toward her with a morbid interest, before pulling out a handgun and shooting the one closest in the forehead. She looked over her left shoulder at the group, shrugging.

"Don't worry... we don't need to go down that hall anyway."

She said, turning her back to the other halved demon, in a reckless and rather cocky way. The demon, equipped with a large machete, took this chance to regenerate and hulk over her, lifting his weapon to bring it down upon her. Haleigh, sensing the metal being lifted over her head, whipped around and caught the man by the wrist as he tried to attack her. With an intense gleam in her stare she squeezed, crushing his wrist. She reached up to his throat, but instead of choking him, she dug her nails into his skin, and tipped them with talon like titanium points, causing his eyes to go wide as five metallic talons made short work of his neck. Haleigh dropped his body casually, and stooped to pick up the machete he'd been weilding. She swung it slowly through the air... with her strength, she could do some serious damage... and violent thoughts were filling her mind.
 
Westin Hills - T Intersection

Ethan was literally floored and shocked with the appearance of all of the crazy looking guards with their rather interesting choice of weaponry. As everyone sprung into action, Ethan made his way to a separate part of the T intersection as there were a line of strong guards making their way towards the group and Karen. Ethan lashed out with his hands as invisibly strands of energy were thrusts from his palms with a jagged end as he lashed it through the first guard which then ripped through the stomach of another guard, much like a fishing line with a hook on the end. As the strand of energy moved fast through the four guards and wrapped around them with great speed, making sure that they were constricted, he pulled tight with the energy as it ripped through the midsections of the guards, cutting them off completely as the torsos of the men fell to the ground as if they were rag dolls. This was a side of Ethan that the rest of the group had not seen. The fighter. He looked back at the group, a small stream of blood dripping down his nose as he looked to protect Karen.

"These things just keep on coming! We have to protect Karen!"

He enclosed Karen in a circular forcefield of protection that he felt that would keep her safe as he had survived two explosions while in the protection of his own force fields. He turned backed to the men that were coming as he snapped to Delilah.

"Delilah! If I can draw enough energy from the room I can create a feedback effect that can destroy a SHIT load of this men. You think we can work together, channel hard light and let me throw it back at them?"

Ethan hoped that everyone was able to hold their own. Who were these men? They looked so primal and so demonic like all of a sudden. It was so crazy. Were all of these people connected to Delilah or her father?
 
[ Delilah flinched as Morgan turned to her. She actually thought for a second that she was going to hit her. Luckily Morgan regained her senses. And almost miraculously, it seemed, she'd found Alison. But what was she talking about, her mother in two places? ]

"Morgan, you aren't making any sense...Alison?"

[ She started to run after Morgan towards the Seer. ]

"Alison! Are you...are you alright?"

[ But before they could find out what had happened to Alison, the two demonic guards appeared. Haleigh told her to stay behind. Clearly she was delusional. ]

"You can't be serious, Haleigh - you can't expect us to sit here while those things are doing god knows what to Karen!"

[ Nicolas went after the guards like a bat out of hell - he was going to have to learn some self control in the near future, or his rashness was going to get him killed. Despite his good intentions. She shook her head. You know what they say about those. Before she could go after he, Morgan, & Persephone, though, Alison had started speaking. ]

"Why would I need to warn you about my father?"

[ Alison suggested that Delilah was herself a patient at the hospital. She scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest. ]

"Alison, I think I would know if I had been here before. Now STOP THIS NONSENSE about you having visions of me as a child."

[ She was angry now. Why was no one listening to her? She was tired of people talking about her, about things they knew nothing about. She felt confused, her emotions were all over the place, banging around in her head. She wanted to scream, and cry, and laugh all at once. Something to get it out of her head. Something to silence the noise in her head.

She watched the images Alison showed them. As they faded, she looked up at Alison, blinking tears from her eyes. She was calm now, the anger gone from her voice. She spoke in almost childlike softness. ]

"This is obviously a trick. Someone has planted these images of me in your mind. But they're fake, they have to be fake. That never happened. I didn't meet Karen until I was older. I didn't..."

[ She covered her face with her hands. Just then, demons blinked into view between them and where the others had gone to get Karen. She looked up and the rage spilled over her again. Her eyes glowed luminescent again and she lowered her head and thrust out her arms towards the demons. ]

"YOU WILL NOT HURT HER AGAIN."

[ Green light flowed from her hands in a wide beam, cutting into the demons as she moved towards them. She turned her head slowly as Ethan spoke to her. She cocked her head to one side as he made his suggestion to team up, so to speak. Light waves began to radiate from her body in a steady pulse. ]
 
Westin Hills- west wing

<< Karen's head fell back a few times. she felt so dizzy. but as the monstrous , demonic looking men appeared, she flinched!>>

NOT AGAIN!

<< she thought. but Rampage stepped in and forced them back and Spellbinder encased her in a pentagram of protection. Spellbinder was in front of her and Persephone was behind her facing the opposite way and soon the whole of the Six and their guest, Maverick were fighting off these "people" who looked like they all were apart of a massive collective, or cult as Alison pointed out.>>

<< Maverick's forcefield came around as well..offering additional protection and Karen steadied herself, breathing the fresh air that Persephone provided her.>>

i can't believe im back here...but things look and feel so...so DIFFERENT!

<< Haleigh and Alison ralied the team as they all surrounded Karen and Persephone touched her shoulder, to ask her if she was okay..>>

<< the doctor blinked as she exhaled slowly.>>

I am getting there, Persephone.

<< she said in a worried tone.>>

Everything happened so fast. they took me unaware and now i find myself back HERE....

<< she stopped as a man flew over her head through the air, after being TK'ed by Guardian.>>

at Westin Hills....

<< she looked up at Persephone.>>

This can only mean ONE THING. He's found her....he's crossed the boundary between the living and the dead...come out of hell to come back for HER.

<< Karen just about CONFIRMED what everyone else was starting to see based on what Guardian had discovered so far. Karen KNEW she had to get herself together. She had to GET UP and try to help! she was no weak old woman..she was a powerfull sorceress herself and had faced many things in her time..INCLUDING the Super Soldier.>>

There's things that Delilah should know...things that were kept from her for a reason...until now! I must TELL HER!

<< the commotion of the battle was so loud and so CHAOTIC....>>
