Isabel walked into Integra's office with a crystal ball the size of an orange in one hand and a smug look on her face. She took Sir Integra's ashtray without any forewarning, emptied it, and placed the ball in it. As soon as she set it down, it started to move around in the tray.

"And what, may I ask, is that?" Integra asked, a little annoyance in the usual high and mighty tone.

Isabel let out a little laugh, "Can't you guess?" Her smirk grew bigger. Integra stared at it as it pulsed in a violent red and black swirl.

"Remove my servant from that ball, Isabel"

"And then what lesson would he learn?" Isabel tilted her head to the side, her smirk turning into a frown, "he had the gull to sneak into my room and try to molest me while I was sleeping"

The ball began to move more as to voice it's protest, "You were too! Stop lying to yourself. I know you find me devilishly attractive" Isabel did a supermodel pose in her chair and batted her eyes toward the crystal. The only thing Sir Integra could do was keep her mouth from dropping open at the audacity this demon had. The ball continued to glow and shook with more intensity; Isabel grabbed the ball and rolled it out in to the middle of an unoccupied space in the room. As soon as it stopped, Alucard appeared in a swirl of silver and black glitter. The amused look on Alucard's face said many things by itself.

"And what type of magick is that, Lady Isabel?" Walter came out from his shadow, looking at Isabel with curiosity.

"Uhm... It's Seelie Fae magick, kind of hard to master with myself being on the other side of the spectrum"

"So what made you decide to ambush me in the halls of the basement?"

Isabel smirked showing her fang and produced another crystal, which she started to roll on her fingers, "Made good practice." Isabel felt Alucard's aura grow in anger. If all the things Isabel now knew about him was he did not like liar and he did not like to be used by others, other than his master.

"And may I ask where you can meet a Fae?" Integra asked. Isabel looked around, as everybody was focusing on her.

"Well," she started, coughing once again, "It's a long story, and you're obviously really busy, Sir Integra. I should take my leave" Isabel backed off, heading for the door, only to find Alucard in the way. Many things went though Isabel's mind at that moment, such as 'Yes, I can take down Alucard, but I don't want to lose this job'. However, the last one was 'Jareth's going to really hate me for this'.

"Well...?" Integra asked, pulling out a cigar.

She relaxed her shoulders and took a deep breath, "This story is a gory one, don't say I didn't warn you... It was some time in the 1700's..."
