Serina is a vampire. I really don't understand that. I mean, vampires burst into flames in sunlight, don't they? Except she doesn't. She sure as hell doesn't sparkle either. I'd be scared if I wasn't so damn attracted.
Samantha made a plea to Cage to run for school presidency once again, something that Cage was less than interested in. Meanwhile, Serina was able to convince Samantha to back HER(women power and all that). Dekkards' plan obviously doesn't sit well with her and she's going to try to stop it ASAP. Dekkard, however, had cancelled his own plans of running in favour of his job in the school paper. His article on gaining support and help from the school paper seemed to be less than well received, as Stan thought it was a waste of print....at least for today. He stated that he would print the story....but only if Dekkard spent some private time with him in the school bathroom. Dekkard refused point blank. More on that in a second.
Marcus was approached by Serina, who wanted his help. Apparantly, a spell was on her. Something that bound her and limited her strength. She wanted it gone and she promised, in return for his help, she would get Marcus together with Mariko. Which was a good idea, since Marcus fucked up his attempt to ask her to the party when he awkwardly asked to be her escort. He had run out embarrassed and slammed his head into a locker soon after, so him taking Serinas' help was really the best option. However, it turned out to not be the only one.
Alex seemed to have mellowed in her appreciation of Raymond since the "incident". The incident being him banging her mom and almost being killed by her when she tried to take his place. She and Cage were going out on a date instead of going to the party. Those two are made for each other....or so I thought. Alex skipped out on last period to get a bottle of sleeping pills(the pharmacy cameras were easy to hack). I wonder if she had the same plan as Raymond?
Dekkard went to the principal and told an up and up lie, that Stan was a pedophile and Dekkard was the better choice for head of the school paper. Stan was removed at the principals behest. This is bad.
Marcus, meanwhile, was studying in the library when they showed up. Whatever they were, they caused some sort of temporal effect that screwed up my cameras. They couldn't be properly filmed, so I had to put the footage through about fifteen filters, but I was able to unscramble it and see and hear what they were saying. There were three of them. Hooded and cloaked. They called themselves the Hunters and they talked about serving a greater power, the Inkdrinkers. None of the books I have reference them, nor any fable or fairy tale, but the Hunters talked about them with great reverence. They offered Marcus a trade. In exchange for Marcus using his magic not to help Serina, but to bind her and wither her, they would give him Mariko, school presidency and the love of the classmates. When you're a geek like Marcus, what do you think the answer is to that? Those things gave me the creeps though.....
Cage was working out in the gym when Serina used her feminine wiles on him. The two made a visit to the gym showers and had a merry romp before Cage exited and found Alex. Alex was all excited for her date, but quite clearly pissed off when Serina exited the boys showers wearing nothing but a towel and a satisfied smirk, stating that Cage was worth it. Alex stormed off soon after.
Serina was outfitting Mariko(as she had promised she would) with one of her more fashionable outfits(and,as I said, don't ask how I got inside. I nearly got caught and butchered like a lamb, Serina has ears like the devil)and, not knowing that Marcus was playing her for a schmuck, talked about what a great guy he was. Marcus this, Marcus that, you two would be soooo great together! Mariko agreed to let him drive her to the party(good thing that Serina actually knows how to talk to people).
Raymond had spared no expense. The main hall was full of dancers, food, drink and drunken partiers. Some spiked by the roofies that he had put in the punch(though the man of the hour wasn't there). Marcus and Mariko showed up at the party, and Serina and Dekkard.
Cage and Alex were at the Olive Garden(big spender) and they seemed to be getting along okay(as well as can be, considering that Cage had been with Serina. But things seemed to go well enough that they decided to have a little makeup makeout session in the backseat of his musclecar. That turned into makeup sex. That turned into Alex giving him a drink laced with sleeping pills, knocking him out, tossing him naked into the trunk of his own car, dressing in his clothes....and becoming him. Like, totally becoming him, down to the last bicep. Cage isn't going to be happy. Er, the original one.
At the party, Marcus tried to get Serina to give him a token to get the spell started(that traitor) but she wasn't having it until after the party. Again, the camera went screwy, but Marcus talked to something only he could see, which could only mean one thing.... those things were in the room with them. Are they invisible? Must investigate further. Marcus took an intoxicated Mariko upstairs(the roofies really took hold, didn't they?)
Cage/Alex showed up at the party and made an almighty ass of him/herself. Drinking, groping and being a prick. Dekkard showed up and was told by Serina that Marcus had taken Mariko upstairs under the influence. Serina lead him upstairs, but Dekkard decided to attack her while her back was turned, putting a stake to her spine and threatening her, telling her to stay away from his friends. I guess he has some mercy in him after all.
Marcus and Dekkard got Mariko outside, planning to drive her home. Cage/Alex was about to leave too...before finding real Cage, who had since regained conciousness and broken naked from the trunk of his car like a chestburster from the movie "Aliens". Nervous, she beat a hasty retreat, leaving him behind without a stitch of clothing, a phone or his keys. Everybody else seemed too drunk or ignorant to see the Cages' face off. Pity, you'd think people at this school were smarter....no you wouldn't.
Mariko's dad called the cops on Dekkard and Marcus, which is understandable, considering they brought his unconscious, drunk daughter home late. Dekkard beat a hasty retreat with grace(guess he's not a slayer for nothing) while Marcus crashed into some garbage cans and tripped up before jumping into Dekkards car, which peeled off.
Cage wanted to speak to Alex and they decided to meet at neutral ground, which was Serinas' place. As I said, I was in there when I set up the cameras. If I wasn't so interested in keeping incognito, I could have sold something and became richer! Honestly, so many valuable antiques from all over! Even if she has no parents, she's covering it well. Cage and her decided to wait for Alex....and did the one thing I didn't expect. How do they get the energy? Soon enough though, things turned sour....and bloody. Serina tore Cage's throat out with those fangs of hers just as Alex entered the room. Alex, terrified and pissed, used a nearby lamp to smash Serina over the head. Serina burst through a window, leaving Alex behind with the corpse. Alex freaked and left. Hell, I don't blame her. But maybe she could have covered him up before she left. Common courtesy people! Cage took a few hours, but there were definite signs of life when I saw him moving again. He kept calling out for Sarah. I wonder if he sees delusions of her when he comes back or he sees the place between worlds. Is she in limbo? In heaven? The world wants to know!( Or I do.)
Dekkard was planning to go to the hospital to visit Katie, who had been rescued from that sewer kraken. But Marcus wanted his help, since he needed to deal with Serina. Asking him to wait in a side room, Serina came calling, wanting that spell off her permanent. Using some kind of pentagram circle with crazy runes all around it and drawing three vials of blood from Serina, Marcus chanted in gaelic. Suddently, Serina was withering, her body dessicated as if by time. She looked like she was feeling her years and she couldn't fight back, bound by Marcus as well. She screamed at Marcus, telling him that she had trusted him. Marcus defended his actions as she made him seem like an idiot and that he was just doing what he had to, but he didn't look that happy with himself at all. Out of the air, the Hunters appeared. "Back, back, to our lords we will take you" they whispered. However, Dekkard, in true badass fashion, stepped in, armed with a sword. Whatever Serina was, he was still against demons. And his friend had made a deal with them. "I'm going to have to split the difference." he stated. The Hunters threw their cloaks aside. Their faces were demonic, their skins a dark crimson, their bodies powerful. They had swords of their own and they looked skilled. Which is a good thing that Cage showed up then, crashing through Marcus's basement window, again butt naked(what is it with this guy?) and screaming. Whatever was going on in his head, he really was in a temper. Cage and the demons fought, with one exploding when beheaded, while another was stabbed in the throat by Cage, still screaming and mad as hell. Dekkard killed the next one and Serina convinced Marcus to remove the binding spell on her.
Serina booked it out of there(though Cage was looking to follow her, the guy has a one track mind) when she ran into another woman. Gorgeous, pale, with lips like rubies....and something dark in the eyes. "Roselyn?" Serina said. "Hello Serina." Roselyn answered, smiling coldly. Serina looked terrified. And whatever terrifies her scares me shitless.
