Still in spain, not much to say really exept I'm not writing on Neil's laptop anymore, 'cause he's got no way to hook it up to the internet. We're in an internet cafe this time. And, And... that no one read the shocking chapter! *Whimper* Was it that bad? Was it too soap opera-ish? Do you all hate me now? Please review, If no one's reading I'll be forced to stop! *Glares at Neil* And it'll be all his fault!
P.S This isn't a very long chapter. In fact it's very short. Just bare with me. If I added it onto the next one it would've been too long and I couldn't cut it out because it's quite important.

Persephone stood up, her mouth hanging open slightly. "You?" she asked, with an air of disbeleif. The merovingian inclined his head and Salix hid her face in her hands in shock. She hadn't expected that to come out. Not at all. In fact, she had intended to keep as far away fom that subject as possible.
Before she knew it, Salix had endured a harsh slap across the face from Persephone and was in tears. Jeuneun hadn't moved. Cypress wrapped her arms around her mother's neck and glared angrilly at the pretty woman that had struck her. Persephone just glared back, her eyes cold and peircing like ice.
Everyone was silent for just a moment but, inevitably a verbal war broke out.
"You little witch!" screamed Persephone, enraged.
"'Sephone! Control yourself!" Shouted The Merovingian.
Perle and Imi cowered behind Jeuneun, who was now shaking in anger, anger or - "Papa!" Imi cried out.
Jeuneun was shaking violently, as if electricty was pulsing through his body. It looked as if he was having one of his growth spurts but not. All thoughts of the fight were instantly put out of mind, although Salix was still whimpering.
Perle and Imi looked on helplessly, unsure of what was happening, but to be fair so did almost everyone else. The Merovingian was the only one with even a remote idea of what was happening.
He held his son down by the arms and said firmly "What do you see?"
Jeuneun panted for a second or two and then blurted out: "Eris... Eris is with... an agent... " Whatever was happening to the demon was obviously causing him great pain.
"Anything else?" Asked the older man.
Jeuneun screwed up his face, more in pain than in thought and cried out again before attempting another sentence. "She's here but...." he trailed off wincing, but took a deep breath and sat up straight again "...she isn't here."
One and Two looked at each other, then shrugged. What in the world was he talking about?
It looked as if the pain was subsiding and Jeuneun was able to explain a little better.
"The agents don't know it but Eris is manipulating them. She's planning something. I can feel it. She's acting, the agents all think that they're at their HQ, but I'm not even sure if they have one. She's going to use them for something, she's afraid of being alone. She wants her family." Jeuneun stopped for a second but then covered his mouth with his hand. " She's going to bring the mistress out."
The Merovingian looked at his son with sympathy, but he obviously thought he was crazy. "'oo is ze mistress?" he asked, failing to hide the skeptical tonein his voice.
Jeuneun stood up. "She's... well from what I know she's Eris mother. I thought that she was Persephone at first - exept she's... well, dead."
Persephone narrowed her eyes at him. She obiously took that as an insult.
"We have to find her then." said One from behind them.
"Yes, we do." Agreed Two.
The Merovingian nodded. "Jeuneun, 'ave you got any idea where to find this place?"
Jeuneun nodded, although reluctantly. "A vague idea. But I can't make any promises."
His father gave a small nod. "Fine. And we can continue our... disscussion on the way there."
One and Two groaned. Wouldn't this be a fun trip?
***
When everyone was in the car (with, needless to say certain seating arragements this time). They set off. Jeuneun lent through the gap between the twins seats in the front, sharing his vague insight into where the heck the HQ was, trying to block out the convesation going on behind him. It gave him horrible reminders of a show he had watched when the twins had persuaded him to watch some TV. It had put him off TV for life. The show had been called Jerry Springer.
"I Think we owe everyone an explaination." whispered Salix very quietly.
Persephone laughed coldly, although her expression was far from amused. "Of course you do."
"I... um..." Salix shook her head. The words had long since escaped her. She had no idea why the Merovingian had said anything, surely the twins would've covered up. They didn't know, no one did but surely they would've seen something was wrong and made an excuse. They were all happier before.
As if reading her mind the Merovingian began instead.
"I 'ave been accused of a great many sings by a great many people. I 'ave been called a cheat and a show-off, a... well let's just say zhat the list goes on and on. Many of these names originated from your mouth, 'sephone. We had just had an argument. Nothing major, of course we are alway's 'aving tiffs. But that night in ze restraunte ze twins 'ad introduced me to a beatiful young woman. And she was beautiful back zen."
This time it was Salix's turn to be insulted. "What do you mean 'back then'?"
The Merovingian ignored her and continued. "I suppose zhat I was just looking for an excuse. She was thw first to try out 'the cake.'"
Persephone looked as if she wanted to do nothing more that to kill them both.
Salix smirked evilly. It was an expression that made her look completely out of character. Then out of her mouth came something even more un-salix-like than her smirk. A simple sentence;
"It was the best thing that's ever happened to me."
Jeuneun whirled around, his features definately screamed 'huh?'. Perle and Imi screamed, as Two, who was driving nearly chrashed into the vehicle in front.
Cypress struggled away from her. That wasn't right. That wasn't Salix.
Persephone slapped Salix again but this time instead of breaking down into tears, Salix went and slapped the dark haired woman back. Persephone narrowed her eyes, like she often did when something was not to her liking and tried to pull her gun out of her purse. Thankfully the Merovingian grabbed her hand and Two pulled over.
"Now, we are 'ere to find Eris. Not to fight each other. Do you agree?"
Both women nodded.
"Tres bien."
"Don't make me come back there!" One snickered (Quite unapropriatly may I add). The Merovingian glared at him (A perfect imtiation of his wife) as he started the engine.
However he was forced to turn it off as Jeuneun started to shake again. He said nothing this time but this 'fit' didn't last as long. When it was over he shook himself and shuddered.
"The good news is that we're very close and I know exactly where we're going now."
"And the bad news?" Asked Two
"She's opening a portal. If we don't hurry..." he trailed off.
That's when he heard one of the awful voices from his dream:
The Mistress is coming...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, is Salix a different person to what you expected? It looks like she wasn't always the sweet quiet woman she is now... or is she? Is there some strange force we don't yet know about involved? BUT this could be my last chapter, Double demons will remain unfinished unless you reveiw.... it's up to you to save this story.
Please review! My Inbox is so horribly empty... I'll take any kind of reveiw even if it's to say that you've lost intrest!
BTW the Twins have a BIG silver car. It'd have to be to fit in nine people ^-^ Plus... Yayness! Persephone's actually doing something for a change! I've forgiven her for what she's supposedly going to do in Revolutions (I won't spoil anything for those who were either not brave enough or not stupid enough to read the spoilers I posted a link to in and earlier chapter)
BTW... are there people who read my story's and don't reveiw? There must be. I saw Demon Enfant on someone's favourite's list yesterday (all on it's own with no other storys...freaky), and that person had never reveiwed me... what's going on??? Please if there is I urge you, all of you, to reveiw... I don't bite!
