The worst part about finding more information on her grandparents death always meant Aazarah was flung, head first, into emotional turmoil. It didnt stop her searching - wouldnt ever stop her searching, she knew - but it did impact the earth witch more than she was able to comprehend.
With each passing year she found she was becoming better at masking the raw pain that sat there. Tonight was sure putting that last thought to the test, though. As she walked down the path towards the barn she used her magic to pull on each plant, stretching them unnaturally and pulling them to flow behind her. The draining effort channelled her thoughts into something she knew how to do best - and for now, that was all she wanted to care about.

Tamuril watched Aazarah approach the barn with mild curiosity, she had always been fascinated by the earth witches powers. Watching the plants grow and change under her command was a sight to behold.
She jumped down from the hay bale she had been sitting on, stretching her arms above her head she yawned and made her way over to the barn entrance which was decorated with two large heavy, wooden doors. The red paint glowed a deep blood red in the afternoon sun.

Seeing her half-sister before her, Aazarah dropped the magic where she stood and allowed the plants to soothe back into the earth. She let out a large, thankful, sigh and approached her with open arms.
"Tam, I found out something today at Club Myth. I was doing some research on the people in the area around the time of grandfathers death...." , she dropped her voice so that the anger would not taint it as heavily, "It seems one of them is about to repay a visit"

Tam smiled seeing the witch reach for her with open arms. She embraced her warmly, she felt there could be no greater bond than that between family.
Listening to Aazarah, Tamurils' brow furrowed in confusion. 'I don't understand? Do you think this person is connected to grandfather somehow?' Their grandfather had been beloved by both the girls and they had grieved his loss heavily. She was not sure how she felt about this news.

"The guy I was talking with seemed quite sure of it, although it took quite a few beers for him to loosen his tongue", and a fair bit of cleavage she might add.
"The man he mentioned was a hunter by the name of Alex... I believe he may even be a vampire these days. Whatever he is, he knew grandfather. And it seems he wasn't on good terms with him right before his death.

"Alex!" Tam exclaimed with some surprise. "I know him! For as long as I've lived in Night World he's been here..." She paused, remembering what Aazarah had said about Alex and their grandfather not being on good terms with each other.
"Good God. You're not implying he had something to do with his death?" She asked aghast.

"Apparently there was some sort of fight between Alex, grandfather and another man before his body was found, so there hasnt been an exact connection... but..", she shrugged, possibly more to calm herself than anything.
"You dont think he would be the type to do so?". Aazarah didnt usually jump into conclusions, in fact she often prided herself on being the opposite. But with family, she found it often took a lot more restraint.

Tamuril was finding it hard to process this information. "Alex?..." She muttered quietly. "I just can't imagine him doing something like this Aazarah!" She was about to go on when she suddenly remembered something Cassiel had told her about Alex.
"Aazarah....My friend Cassiel, you haven't met her yet, she told me something about Alex a long time ago." She paused trying to remember the whole story, but it was all too sketchy in her mind. "I can't recall all the details but I think he got into some trouble for possession of illegal weaponry?"

She nodded slowly, "Well, no matter what the case I think we need to meet this guy... illegal weaponry is a long way from murder, I grant that - but this is the first lead we`ve had in a very long while."
The nearby plant weeds began to twist and stretch, betraying the calm emotion in the earth witches voice. "He`s due back sometime this week... and according to my source, he passes the same forest path everytime on his return. "

She was having a hard time stomaching the idea that Alex could have had something to do with their grandfathers death. Their grandfather Andrew had been a well loved figure in the town, she couldn't fathom a logical reason for Alex to commit such a heinous crime. Then again, maybe there was more to Alex than appeared on the surface. Perhaps he was just a dumb mercenary, without an ounce of honour, loyalty or sense of right or wrong. It wouldn't be the first time someone in Night World had betrayed their trust.
"I take it you have a plan then?" Tamuril asked, watching the plants move and shift in her peripheral vision.

"Beyond waiting out for him each night, not really... if hes a vampire - I take thats when were most likely to run into him?", she watched the sadness flit across her sisters face and resisted the urge to hug her. Tamuril was a tough one, despite appearances, so she decided to leave her some space.
"If we can trigger some sort of memory of grandfather.. through a photo or name.. we should be able to see on his face his reaction, guilty or no. If hes innocent then theres no harm.. if he`s guilty...", her teeth set hard, "He`ll die"

She nodded in acquiescence. "I think that's a good idea." She added, thinking that if he was truly the culprit that surely there was some part of him that would feel remorse for the pain he had caused them.
"I have some photos of him at home that will do the trick. And you're right of course, if he is guilty he cannot be allowed to live." As a mystic warrior it was Tamurils' natural instinct to help and heal. In this case though, she would make an exception.

She allowed the pain in her heart to beat there a moment longer before pushing it away. It was not going to help their cause from coming from any other emotion than strength. Almost as if in support of her thoughts a nearby plant within her magical field began to cry in distress. She let her hold of the magic go and nodded to Tamuril.
"If you can bring the photos... between the two of us I am sure we will gauge his reaction quite sharply.Also, I have half a mind to bring along this guy from Myth. There seemed to be something more there that I wonder if I missed." Her sister had incredible intuition when it was called for. "What do you think?"

"You mean Kaden? I'm sure he would agree to come with us, it would be good to have some extra back up and he knows Alex as well. He might come in handy."
"So it's agreed? I'll dig up some photos tonight and maybe we can meet up with Kaden tomorrow and discuss the best course of action?"

(HAhaha I love how cleavage is involved and its assumed Kaden... to be fair the guys favourite film is Moulin Rouge so theres a lot of scanty clad dresses in that... and french music - his other favourite and moustaches. Very Kaden).
"Kaden knows Alex? I had meant the man from the bar I met... he went by a name similar to Dua. But if Kaden knows this hunter, Im more than happy to bring him along." The more people she could surround herself in trust, the better. There was only one problem, "Dua only mentioned sometime in the next week as Alex`s arrival date.. I want to be there from tonight. If I grab the wizard, can you find the photographs that quickly?"
