(9:53:38 AM) showmejazzhands: "I can honestly say that I do not know." Romeo replied without a word of a lie, his entire body trembling, his eyes still a little off focus as his body lifted from the floor but that didn't stop him from grabbing a hold of the rafters of the old house above him, using his hold to swing himself on top of them at the exact moment the tree outside seemed to extend beyond its limits and break through the window. He wouldn't be able to keep it up for much longer, every little piece of magic was draining him further, making him dizzier but his main goal for now was to keep himself alive and that meant keeping himself out of her grasp. "I already told you. I put him in the closet, as you saw while tearing the door off he's not there anymore, I'm sorry." It didn't take Kaydence long to know exactly where they were from the sound of the voices travelling down the stairs, ironically really that by the sounds of it they were in his own room and Kaydence double checked how many bullets he had in his gun before reloading and heading up the stairs. (9:58:58 AM) PittSoDeep: Contessa was using the energy in the place to move Romeo around and the next thing she did was hurl Romeo's body into the closet at harsh force enough to have cracked the wall with his impact. "FIND HIM THEM. YOU PUT HIM THERE. FIND HIM." She was so pissed. She thought she had Chess all wrapped up with a bow, her son's husband. What a joy that would have been! The wretched snit deserved what he had coming. (10:13:44 AM) showmejazzhands: Romeo didn't understand magic enough to know that every time he used it, the woman in front of him fed from the energy it created; every time he tried to help or do something to stop her she only became stronger. He wasn't sure what exactly happened after that or in what order things played out but his small frame hit the wall so hard plaster came raining down around him, he felt the searing pain of something sharp pierce his lung and even as blood was coughed up to smear and stain his lips it seeped down from the back of his head. The room no longer made any sense to him and as his vision began to sink neither did her words. She was distracted, maybe he'd thank Romeo for that later, probably not, and it didn't really matter. He didn't announce his presence, not that he could have even if he wanted to but he stood right behind her in the doorway to the bedroom he'd grown up in and waited until there were two ghosts beside her, his arm rising as he took his aim and as soon as the hands of the disfigured spirits managed to lock their grips onto her wrists, Kaydence pulled the trigger and fired that bullet he'd spoke of earlier right at her. (10:27:46 AM) PittSoDeep: The problem Kay had (of course there was always a problem because that was just Kay's luck of course) was he assumed too much about her. Ergokenisis was helped her feel all kinds of energy. She might not have been able to see those ghosts but if Kay thought she didn't know they were there, he was sorely mistaken. Everything exsistant has energy around it... even ghosts. Did he really think that the darkest of dark witches trained even more by the likes of Ba'al couldn't feed right from the dead? She knew the moment they grabbed her. The bullet came whizzing at her and it was a moment nothing short of slow motion movie moment when it stopped short still spinning in it's spot right against her skin before dropping to the ground. Her gaze shot like a sharp shooter direct to Kay then. She started to cluck her tongue slowly in disapproval at her son. She even schluffed off the ghosts like they were mere zits that needed to be popped blowing everything in the room from the center out. The walls were then lined with all the furniture or anything else around too. Then she stalked up to Kay with the most cocky 'I win' expression gloating at him. That was until she managed to be about 3 feet in front of him and her face fell and she even gasped standing statuesque. She's realized he was claimed. "I have Ba'al eating out of my hands and you sell to a lowly a President?" She started to curse in French all sorts of lewd and degrading slanderous things at him like he was the scum of the earth.
