"So nice to see nothing has changed about this place." Vera sighed and looked over to Hamish. "Have you ever considered having this place fixed up and redecorated?" Hamished looked at her and nodded his head no.

"Do you want Lilith to kill you?" Randal and Gabby were already waiting outside on the porch. "She won't be happy to see you. You know that right?"

Vera raised a brow at the statement. "I don't care."

Gabby could feel Midnight growling internally as Vera came up the steps to the porch. "I know." She said out loud making Randal look at her with confusion.

"I didn't say anything."

"No, you didn't but Midnight did. He's not happy she's here." Gabrielle cocked her head to the side a little "Grand Magus." She would still give her respect because Gabrielle did respect Vera, she even liked Vera but hidden behind that viel of respect was hatred from Midnight. It was difficult to deal with your pelt when you were opposite in every way but at least she had him under control now. Randal opened the door for Vera as Hamish came up after her, Gabby not even catching herself when she sniffed at Hamish. "Tundra." For a moment this was her relating information from Midnight rather than being controlled by him. "You have that witch's smell all over you."

"That's because I spend a lot of time trying to help her with everything at the Temple."

"That's not what I mean." Gabby turned on her heels and moved into the house behind Vera with Hamish following up after her. Nichole was already standing inside having come almost every day to see Lilith though the girl she had once liked no longer wanted anything to do with her.

"Ms Dupree." Vera spoke up looking at Gabrielle and pointing to her. "Get a chair, a very sturdy one." She then turned to Randal. "I'd hope you have rope."

"We aren't tying Lilith up." Randal snapped at her taking a step forward. When he made his move closer Hamish had followed putting his arm out a little as if preparing to push him back.

"Perhaps then you can hold her hand and we can all get along." Randal didn't say anything as she clapped her hands together. "As I thought, get the rope." Spinning on her heels she then pointed to Nichole. "Hamish, Nichole, let's go get our guest." Nichole started to lead them into the basement where Lilith had been locked up. After two escape attempts and trying to hurt the wolves they felt it was safest for everyone to keep her from running away into public. Vera's heels clicked against the wooden steps as they descended. The place was dusty, in dire need of a good cleaning but what did you expect from the wolves?

Running her fingers over the railing to the steps she made a disapproving tsk. Reaching the bottom of the steps they all looked to the door hearing only silence on the other side. Perhaps Lilith wasn't so bad. As soon as the group felt a little more relaxed the door rattled with the sound of something slamming up against it. Instantly Hamish took the lead, his nails morphing through his fingertips as he partially shifted to better protect the other two. Vera nodded her head to Nichole who cut her hand and stepped forward "Aperiatur" The door opened up and Hamish came forward catching Lilith who had jumped out ready to attack them.

"Dormitum Dimittatur" Hamish called out holding Lilith back. Almost instantly Lilith went unconscious and collapsed to the ground. Looking back at Vera he let out a sigh. "Well, that worked better than I expected." Hamish picked up Lilith and tossed him over his shoulder. If she ever found out about this she was going to hate him forever. Carrying her back up the steps Vera reminded them that time was very sensitive in this situation.

"She won't be out for long so please do get her restrained." At the top of the stairs Hamish carried her to the chair Gabrielle had pulled out with Randal at the ready to tie her down.

"Anyone else feeling like this isn't a good idea?" Randal spoke looking between Gabby and Hamish. "Just me?"

Hamish put Lilith down in the chair and helped Randal tie her up. Vera had been correct too since Lilith was already starting to come back. She groaned, her head still lulled to the side before slowly lifting it back up and struggling against the restraint. "Hey, hey." She pulled up on her arms trying to snap the ropes. "What do you think you are doing?"

Nichole tried to appeal to the Lilith that they had lost, the werewolf Lilith. "We are trying to help you Lilith."

The demon snarled and growled. "You call this helping? Send me home already." Vera took a step forward, getting a little closer though Hamish tried reaching out and stopping her. "Well well well,if it isn't the bitch of Belgrave. What are you going to do to me Vera Stone? Insult me?"

"No." Vera remained calm, hardly phased by Lilith's demonic bravado. "I don't need to Ms. Bathory. Honestly I'm a little disappointed. I'd expected you to have been stronger than this, to let the demonic dimension to permeate you like this, let it twist you. I told Jack that I thought you were strong enough to survive. I suppose I can't always be right."

Hamish was about to stop Vera but he saw Lilith flexing her muscles and glaring at Vera, struggling harder as her eyes flashed almost red. "Stand a little closer to me and say that again witch. I'll show you who's strong and a survivor."

Vera laughed at her, placing her hands on her hips. "Why waste my time with a lowly foot demon like you. Are you supposed to be the demon of poor intimidation tactics?" Vera rested her hands on the handles of the chair and leaned in closer to Lilith. Hamish was visibly getting uncomfortable now while Vera got bold and ballsy. What was she even doing aside from trying to get herself killed? "Or are you just a frightened werewolf, a little girl who plays tough and unstoppable Ms. Bathory because I remember you before you were anyone or anything. I remember why we kicked you out of the order, do you?"

Lilith was gnashing her teeth together now, her eyes like flames set on Vera. Everything else in the room faded away as Vera stood back up and took a step away from her. "I'm going to kill you."

Vera laughed at her again. "Good luck, you aren't even strong enough to get out of those restraints. You might have powers up there in your little world but down here you aren't much more than a rat Lilith." The restraints were pretty tough considering Lilith hadn't cracked them with rage alone. "You want to run away back to your little pit again Lilith then so be it, I'll happily send you back so you can be a coward. You were never fit for the Order and you were never fit for the Knights. Perhaps you finally found the place to belong."

Hamish caught his breath in the back of his throat as Lilith's eyes flashed silver and her teeth started to morph. Maybe a demon couldn't get out of those restraints but a werewolf could. The shift was quick as Lilith snapped the ropes and stood up transforming into the familiar figure of Timber but right now Timber wasn't happy for her freedom. All she saw was Vera and red. She was going to rip the witch's heart out and eat it.

As soon as Timber lunged at Vera Midnight was leaping in front of her and grabbing hold of Timbers claw snarling back at her. With a headbutt Midnight ran his shoulder into Timber running her towards the wall and out the window. The two werewolves went falling out of the house with Timber scrambling over and trying to lunge back into the house. Again Midnight jumped in front of her, slashing his claw against Timbers face and making her yelp. Seeing the larger werewolf wouldn't let her get close to the house Timber turned tail and started to run, Midnight close behind before she could hurt anyone.

"Nice going Vera." Randal growled and pulled off his shirt before jumping out the window after the other two werewolves. Greybeard let out a howl as he began the chase after them and Hamish ran to Vera's side grabbing hold of her arms.

In his fear Hamish didn't even realize he was yelling at her, all he felt was frightened and angry, frightened for her, angry with her. "What were you thinking Vera, she could have killed you."

Vera remained calm pulling Hamish's hands off her. "Because she's not possessed, that is still Lilith. The demonic dimension has changed her somehow. Nobody has survived the other side as long as Lilith has, we can't know how she's been changed but now we know Timber and Lilith are still there. I knew what to say to make Lilith set her werewolf free. You wolves are so predictable in your hatred for the Order and for me. Now you have Timber back. Hopefully it starts to wake Lilith up out of her...Stockholm syndrome."

Hamish let out a heavy sigh, "Next time you do that, please let me know." He pulled Vera in and held her tight. Vera tensing up for a moment as he rested a hand on her lower back and the second between her shoulders. Vera remained stiff and tense for a moment, not wanting Hamish to be holding her right now, right here. Then slowly she melted down in his grip and wrapped her own arms around had to pull himself out of the moment and remind them both that Lilith was running around out there. "We should go help them get Lilith." Hamish pushed Vera back. "You stay here with Nichole. Undoing his tie he pulled it off and pointed at Nichole. "Don't let her follow me."

Whipping off his shirt he ran outside and quickly took over Tundra's form following the scent of the other wolves. Crashing through the underbrush Tundra huffed hearing the distant fighting of the wolves. She picked up her speed coming into a little clearing where Midnight was standing over a now naked Lilith. Midnight snapped and snarled as Lilith turned over and glared up at the wolf. "Midnight, don't make me hurt you." Lilith snarled, scratches over her body were only just starting to heal shut.

Greybeard was snarling back at Midnight trying to calm the other wolf down and it looked like another fight was about to break out until Tundra stopped in her tracks and let out a loud howl. Her light grey fur being brushed by the wind. Greybeard and Midnight stopped in their tracks looking over to her now slowly walking their way, even Lilith looked her over no longer wanting to fight. Shrugging his shoulders Midnight started to shrink shifting back into Gabby. Randal and Hamish both transformed back into their human selves, Randal walking up to Lilith and trying to help her out only to have Lilith slap his hand away from her. Gabby walked past Hamish, her own scratches healing up. "You're welcome." She sounded a little pissed.

"Why." Hamish wanted to know. "You wanted to kill Vera a week ago, why save her now?"

Gabby laughed at him turning around for a brief moment. "Sometimes Hamish for being the smart one you aren't always that smart. Stop thinking with the wrong head around Vera, that's some good advice for you."

Lilith walked past him, her arms wrapped over her chest as she passed without a word.

Randal followed up last slapping Hamish on the back. "She's right though."
