Chapter 17: Setting the Trap
Marie sighed as she and Kara followed Jade to the graveyard not that far from the college campus.
Jade stopped and motioned to the graves, "Well here it is. You're sure this will help attract the thing."
Kara nodded pulling a glowing rope out of her backpack and tying it to a tree, "Death attracts evil."
"You're the witch," Marie commented not thinking, "You would know."
Kara jumped up and looked at Marie, "I like being around living good things. I'm fully alive, unlike you."
"What's that suppose to mean?!" Marie demanded as her eyes began glowing.
"Well, I'm just human," Kara pointed out as she tossed her jacket and hat to the side, "You're half-ghost, right? You're already half dead."
"Guys…." Jade tried to interrupt as the witch and halfa move closer to each other. The electricity and magic they were creating obvious.
"Well, at least I do good with my powers," Marie challenged, "No plagues or stealing children."
"Most of those were blown out of proportion by the church!" Kara shouted back angrily, "they always assume everything different is evil or wrong!"
Marie paused for a second as she thought that over, "Not all the churches are like that! You can't lump all of them like that just cause of a few people and what they did hundreds of years ago!"
"Kara, Marie," Jade called concerned, "This energy, the demon?"
"Then why are you doing it with me and my people?" Kara demanded to know, "My clan may not be saints but I'm not them! Judge people by what they do not by their family history!"
Marie stopped as she thought about her, Nathan, and their father(s), "Your right."
Kara stared as she realized what Marie had said.
"She is?" Jade asked shocked from the tombstone she was hiding behind.
"She is," Marie replied but gave Kara a look, "But your record isn't spotless either Kara. Levi is one of those hurt by you. Fix it."
Marie walked away leaving Kara as she grabbed the rope and motioned to Jade to help.
Kara sighed looking down at the amethyst stone on her ring then looked at the 'KL' on the side before whispering, "It's not that simple."
…..
Lily dropped from the sky followed by Nathan who dropped Melissa rather hard to the ground.
"That hurt!" Melissa muttered as Lily and Nathan went human and the three walked into the graveyard.
"I hope Gar and Joe aren't here," Nathan sighed earning a look from Melissa.
"Who?" The rainbow haired genius asked.
"Don't ask," Lily replied she spotted Jade, Kara, and Marie, all silent, "Chilly."
"What died?" Melissa asked amused.
"Any joy I had with these two," Jade replied glad to see her best friends, "They're both so depressing."
Lily looked at the witch and halfa before deciding to chat about it later, "Alright well we adjusted the thermos to hold are energy." Lily held up her Fenton Thermos that she, Melissa, and Nathan had fixed up "And me and Nathan already put our energy in."
Marie nodded as she got up and grabbed the thermos putting some of her energy in.
"Cool. We set up the rope thingie to trap it," Jade explained, "So, after kicking the shit out of it Kara just has to seal it with her magic right?"
Kara nodded taking the thermos from Marie and filling it with her orange looking energy.
"And this is when you two," Nathan explained pointing to rainbow haired genius and the browned haired flirt, "the unpowered civilians leave."
"Lily!" Jade protested gripping her friends arm.
"You have to."
"The dragon gets to stay!"
"He's a dragon!"
10 minutes later, the two were leaving on the condition they got Lily's weapons.
Lily looked to Nathan, Kara, and Marie as her friends left a smile on her face, "Let's go hunting."
