Re: Group Three - Magic Users
The confidence was fading moment by moment. Even with her, and Anya and their combined power, this one was hard, she was being pushed back. Alastair had pulled out all the stops with the barriers, and momentarily Ruby wondered if that was the same for the other magic users.
She continued to chant, putting aside the slight fear that the Winchesters would attack her for the powers she was calling on to focus on the task ahead. This was about killing Alastair. This was about ending a threat to everyone she cared about, and well...her. Out of all the demons from her hell they had been attacked by in LA Alastair was the only one who had come close to tempting her back, offering her a chance to torture god herself, she would never confide it, not to Sam not to Castiel. It was possible Alastair would use it against her but the fact that she had not taken him up on it hopefully outweighed the fact she'd been speaking to him since she was freed.
At least with Sam.
"No its not" she finally replied, gritting her teeth and allowing more of her demonic nature to come to the fore, pushing back her remembered humanity for the sake of what she had to do here. She turned for a moment gazing through clouded eyes at Sam. He was her focus in remembering who she was.
"Don't let me go too far" she called to him and turned back to the barriers she could sense.
"Keep going Anya" she shouted and continued with her own chanting, latin recognizable among some of the words she was speaking
