"I'm a wizard, sir." Kaden said, feeling that addressing the man with formality would help with easing his anxiety. "I'm familiar with potions. If you tell us how to make the potion, we can get her off of you very soon."

Thomas eyes skitted between the two in bewilderment, "If I give you this. You are sure there is no way of tracing its origins?"
Jaira looked to him calmly, "Are you not the best at these potions? How could they trace your....."
The doctor shook his head, "I know. I know. Its impossible. Im just understandably a little shaken." He wiped his damp forehead before reaching in to his pocket, "This is my Revival potion... I carry it with me always... it makes up the most part of the Death one also.." he rattled into incoherent instructions, before shaking his head and clearing his throat once more.
"I need only a few more ingredients and it can be made within the night".
Jairas eyes lit dangerously, "What kind of ingredients"
"Well.... darkened vane, a rayliene leaf. And an item from the victim".
"Do those plants grow around here?", Jaira looked to wizard, having no idea of potions, "Do you know what they look like?"

Hearing the ingredients, Kaden launched into thought mode. "Darkened vane, darkened vane....I know I saw some around this place...Darkened....Oh yes! In the forest! The rayliene leaf grows all around, we should be able to find some around here, but we have to go into the forest for the vane." He said. "As for the item from the victim...I guess that one's yours, Jaira."

"You take Thomas then", her eyes rested on Kadens, "The party finishes under the hour. After that I dont know how I`ll be able to find her again".
The doctor looked curiously towards the two, "Why do you care so much for my life? Why do you want her dead?"
Jairas eyes darted straight for his, "She has plans to kill many, Mr Thomas. She has taken many already. Call us her karma".
With another minimal nod the doctor cleared his throat, "I understand".
"Good", she headed for the Fireflys doors, stopping briefly at Kadens shoulder, "Be safe".

"I will. You be careful too." Kaden said with a nod, leaving a glance on her before turning his attention to the doctor. "Come on, we'll leave that final ingredient to her. We have to go get your plants. We'll meet in the clearing in the forest that we uh....well, you know where I'm talking about." He called over his shoulder to the werewolf.

The barest hint of a smile played on her lips, "Ok."
Then the doors were open and she was back in the middle of the crowded party. Sienna could be spotted a mile away. Her sister had never mastered the act of subtley. Currently she was flirting shamelessly with a fellow reveller of whom hadnt the slightest interest in anything bar the drinks offered by the winking werewolf. For a moment Jaira almost felt sorry for her.
That didnt last long. Gliding her way into a very busy section of the room she followed her sister slowly and quietly, her eyes scanning for an item upon her that could be taken with the least notice. Her sister had never been one to carry much upon her, lucky for the night she had decided to deck herself in quite an adornment of jewellry. That would do.

"Come on you, let's go." Kaden said to the still-frightened man. "Thomas, was it?" The doctor nodded silently. "Oh come on, she's the scary one, not me." He joked, trying to calm the man's nerves. He was steadily realizing how difficult it was for a man who had just been told he was being hunted to stay calm.
"You're safe with us, trust me on that. But we have to move from here now to go find those ingredients. And we need to do it quickly. I'd rather not have this turn into a physical confrontation."
"A...A what?" He asked, eyes wide in fear.
"No! Not with you, I mean with her! The werewolf that's after you!" This seemed to calm him down a bit, but only served to make the wizard more exasperated. "Let's just go. Look around on the ground for the rayliene."

As the music switched to a more lively tune, Siennas red hair disappeared from Jairas sight. Feeling the first degree of panic the werewolf slid further into the darkness of the crowd, dodging the many hands that reached out for her to join in the revelry.

It didn't take long for the pair to find the common plant they were looking for. The wizard had a eureka look on his face when he noticed it nonetheless. "Hey doc, got it. Let's head to the forest for the rest, she knows where to find us."
The doctor nodded silently again, following Kaden off into the distance, into the darkness of the forest.

The flash of red caught her attention in a moment as she pushed through the crowd, her heart racing at the sight of the shining jewellry. She wouldnt lose her this time. Sliding her hand to the girls wrist she softly unworked the clasp, glad for her sisters slightly tipsy state.
Feeling the cold metal in her hand the werewolf briefly closed her eyes in thankfulness before making her way straight to the door. She didnt realise she was being watched.

It took about ten minutes for the pair to make it to the forest. Thankfully, the frazzled doctor had calmed down somewhat so he became an asset to the search rather than a hindrance to Kaden. For some reason, the darkened vanes that he KNEW he saw in here before seemed to be...gone. "It can't be gone, plants don't just...disappear, do they doc?" The wizard asked him with a hopeful look.
All he got back was a just as confused shrug. "They shouldn't, but they're nowhere around. However..."
"There's a however?" Kaden asked quickly.
"Yes, well....there seems to be patches of soil where plants SHOULD be, but there's just nothing. Like it was completely burned away or...."
"Burned? Or....oh god no, don't tell me. Frozen and shattered."
"Well, that IS a possibility, but...wait how did you know I'd say that?"
The mage looked away. "No reason. Just uh....keep looking."

"Well, Jaira", her brothers voice came from the darkness as fast as his leg, locking under her knee to bring her to the ground, "Are we here to take more from the family?"
"Irain", she gasped, "I have no quarell with you"
"Oh but you do", his cold demeanour sent chills down the werewolves spine. Her youngest brother had always been the more compassionate of the family; If any of the Esteen could be granted the gift of compassion. "You may have forgotton what loyalty is, I however have not. What do you want with Siennas jewellry?"
"It was so pretty", the werewolf replied dryly.
"Jaira", the warning tone in his voice pulled her gaze to where his should be in the dark.
"Im going to kill her, Irain".

((Where the hell do you come up with these names?)) This search had gotten increasingly more frustrating, especially since finding out he himself could be the reason for the lack of the plant they needed. "We've searched throughout this entire forest! Damn it! And she's taking way too long just to get something of her sister's. She's in trouble, I just know it!" He cried, pacing back and forth.
Now the doctor was the one trying to calm the wizard, an ironic turn of events. "Let's go back then." He said.
"Yeah yeah okay. Go back empty-handed. She'll kill me." Kaden responded sarcastically. "Fine, okay. You're right." He eventually said, leaving the forest and the two of them heading back to the Firefly.

"Why?", the male werewolf squatted beside his sister, throwing all of his features into the dim moonlight. "Why are you doing this Jaira? Why did you change?"
She sensed the betrayal in his voice, saw the hurt masked behind his cool facade. It was only that which made her speak. "We owe them nothing, Irain. They have caused us nothing but hurt our entire lives. We have been played off against eachother like toys".
"Then why kill Sienna? Your problem is with our parents".
She paused a moment, the question burning into her mind. But she knew in her heart her sister was to far gone. "Sienna wants me dead. Its me or her, Irain. You have to believe this is in defence"
He laughed dryly, "Its never defence with you Jaira. This is being planned in cold blood".

Kaden stopped suddenly at the window and quickly ducked away from it before any of the wolves saw him. He dragged the doctor down with him, who wisely stayed silent. "sh*t!" He cursed in a rough whisper. "You stay here. Do NOT let them see you, got it?" He was met with a silent nod. "Good." Kaden replied, staying under the window and creeping over to the door.
