better. Azfin swallowed hard and backed away from me.
"My deepest apologies , priestess."
"What is this about the hellmouth?" she asked coldly.
"There has been movement from the infernal realm. The energies are flexing and shivering . Something is trying to find a way through."
I ground my teeth, we were supposed to be done with that.
Haeyl said, "What are the celestials doing about this? Surely they know."
"Nothing , " Elise spat.
I waved my annoyance . "The celestials are nothing more than pathetic messengers, they have no power here."
"They fucked us , " Kadrix growled.
I laughed, a harsh unamused laugh . "They allowed a 'rogue' through."
Azfin raised an eyebrow at me. "A rogue?"
I gave a shrug and smirked. “Yea, you know. A hot-tempered, wrathful, arrogant, asshole who hasn't learnt he's not supposed to kill us. The usual."
Azfin growled and dragged his fingers though his hair. "I tire of this."
"You and me both,” Elise muttered.
Kadrix snuck up next to me, I made a note to tell Quin to put some bells around his elf.
"Standing here complaining about life isn't going to fix our joint problems , " he said coolly.
I was a little surprised to hear sense coming from him. Azfin eyed him darkly.
"And what do you suggest we do, alchemist?" he growled.
Kadrix rolled his eyes. "Does my position in the world matter so greatly?"
"You're an elf from a strong bloodline. You bring shame to that , " Azfin said with a sniff.
Kadrix shook his head . "I am an alchemist. I bring pride to my family via a very profitable business and a strong connection to the city."
Azfin narrowed his eyes and looked the elf up and down. "You have too many secrets, elf."
"And you don't?" Kadrix replied lightly.
I cleared my throat. "And how are we stopping the next wave of infernal bullshit from hitting my city?"
They all looked at me sharply. I smiled sweetly. I didn't care what their views were; the city was mine. I was the one protecting it, therefore I was the one claiming it.

Lysander had appeared after a short while of poking at the fae; I needed to vent. If I couldn't be violent, and I had no one to screw, then I saw no reason why I couldn't rile the fae. A smile played across Elise's lips as she finally relaxed and laughed at Azfin , who became more and more uptight.
A splatter of blood marked Lysander's cheek; I narrowed my eyes at him and dragged him back outside.
"Where were you? What were you doing?"
He held my eye-contact and said, "I was solving a small problem."
I sighed but didn't press the topic any further. I couldn't help but run my fingers over his silver collar; it fit him perfectly.
"Do I hurt you, Lysander?"
I couldn't look at his face. His fingers brushed my cheek, his warm breath soon followed.
"Sometimes, mistress."
His lips were dangerously close to mine. Panic filled me, I took a step back and took a deep breath , relishing the crisp air of spring. He thrust his hands into the pockets of his jeans and leaned back against the wall, trying to look casual despite the hurt that marked his face.
A yowl came from inside, an almost feline noise that cut through the air. I ran into the church to see Haeyl pacing around the room while the others looked at the smashed phone on the floor.
Azfin said, "Enough , Haeyl. Speak."
Haeyl's eyes took on a golden glow, claws extended from his fingers, his ears pointed. I hadn't seen a Sidhe change into their natural form before. He calmed himself before it took hold entirely; the temperature of the church kept fluctuating as he did so.
"Marielle. She has been found."
"Found?" Azfin said sharply. "What remains of her."
A knot of dread formed in the deepest pit of my stomach.
"Who is Marielle , Haeyl?" Elise asked gently.
"A nymph, my dear nymph."
Azfin stood taller and said, "Marielle was under our protection. A nymph that no one had wanted. Haeyl had a tenderness towards her."
