A quick thank you to the reviews so far, they're great! :)

And yes Rogue, Orbus was the creepy "villan" until he was captured. Now that part of his character has pretty much been fulfilled. He's now more of the one i send in to break alot of the tension when its gettingto be to much. that way you scream, you laugh, you scream again and then you laugh before screaming and wetting the computer chair because you did not see that coming. :p =^-^=

The moment Ivona began the lights went down and the room got cold. An excited chill ran up Prentiss' spine. She loved watching Ivona work.

Rossi breathed even, fighting the cold feeling in the pit of his stomach as he watched Ivona in rapt attention. He wanted something to happen, he was wearing a sailor suit darnit, but it all felt so sureal. Like he was on one of those hidden camera shows, but they'd filmed this episode for a year instead of a day.

Or maybe the stress of the job finally got to you, he thought bitterly, thinking something he'd been dearfully wishing since the beginning of this whole ordeal, everyones safe and happy and this is the middle of a shock treatment or something.

The room was growing dark. Darker than it should have been for Rossi's comfort. It was alot colder now to. He could see the faintest traces of condensation around his mouth in the air when he exhaled.

Dear Gosh, he thought stiffling the slightest gasp, what is all this?

And that's when Ivona opened her eyes and smiled at all around her. A big toothy grin showing off all she had inside her mouth.

Including a gap where her two front teeth should be.

"Thank's for coming to my party!" Ivona giggled cheerily, clapping her hands together.


The Police station had grown quiet and cold in the darkness of everyone but the lonely nightguard left for home. The rest of the nightshift, which was rather small, was already out on patrol. This whole district was rather small. They didnt need many to look over it. You got out into the rest of the city, sure, they had a whole nightshift. This lowly district didn't need that. They were good people.

Atleast until the Circus came to town...

The Night Guard heard a thump from behind the door with the holding cells


Orbus hadn't experienced alot since he died in that fire long ago.

Sure after that it was all possesions and performing in a new place every month.

But when you got into the quantity of it, not many things.

Now he wished he didn't have to experience this, as he watched the psycic let herself get possesed by his insane little surrogate neice. He knew how to stop her, he just didn't want to.


the Night Guard walked slowly to the door that led to the holding cells. He knew who was in there.

He grasped the cool metal handle and turned it softly as a few more thumps issued from behind the door he slowly pulled open.


Ivona/Lyssa stood up, walking around the table. She had a confused look on her face.

"Where's the cake? And the presents? And why is your brother over there? Shouldn't he be sitting next to you?" Lyssa pointed to Orbus and then Reid, who stood in the corner infront of JJ who he'd jumped infront of.

Orbus was at a cross roads. Ivona said not to talk! What did he do? He looked around at the others, Prentiss shook her head furiously, fear filling her eyes.

Heck, he thought, shrugging inwardly, Im already dead. And I'd like to stay dead.

"Cupcake?" Orbus stood up, "Don't you recognize me?"

Prentiss felt her stomach drop, her lungs seized up. What was he doing? He was gonna get them all killed!


the Night Guard took careful steps up the hallway, pausing in fear every time he made a sound.

the thumps were louder. They sounded like a body hitting the wall, or maybe the floor. It was the whole body, thrown with force.

What was this woman doing? the guard wondered. She might get herself killed!

He walked slowly over, so slowly... He didn't want to excite her, throw her into something he might not be able to stop. He wasn't very young after all.

Malifeciis sat on her bench, leaning against the wall. She was playing with a spider in her hands.

There was no one else in there.

"What was that noise?" The Night Guard asked.

Malifeciis looked up, questioning innocence etched into her ancient face.

"Noise?" She was still playing with her spider.

"A thumping sound. Like a body."

Malifeciis screwed up her face, like she was thinking it over.

"Nope." she shrugged, "No noise."

The Guard nodded, but still walked up and down the cell, looking into every single one before he walked over to her.

"All right then. Well," He stopped infront of her cell, "Make sure there aren't any noises okay?"

"I think I know what you were describing." Malifeciis stood up, walking over. The spider crouched obediently inside her ancient fingers.

"What?" the Night Guard looked around her cell as she patiently stared at him. There was nothing. She'd been allowed nothing when she arrived. All she had was the old black cloak on her and the spider crawling out of her hand that grasped the bars of her cage.

A spider that slowly crawled down to the floor.

"You heard a body?" Malifeciis smiled.

"Maybe." the Night Guard said suspiciously.

"No, you did. I'd best stay away from dark and lonely places if I were you. she didn't, they didn't, and you wont. But you should."

the Night Guard took a few steps back, walking slowly out of the room.

"Okay then." He said, walking out.

"He really should have listened." Malifeciis scoffed when the door clanged shut.


Ivona/Alyssa stared at Orbus.

"But... you... he... I saw you! We watched TV together before he took me to my party! The party Im at right now! The party in the room with the... round... table." Lyssa had noticed the long rectangular table Ivona had pulled out.

"That's right," Orbus said, stepping forward and taking her hand, "But now your at a new party. Your salvation party."

"My what?" Ivona's eyes grew big as Lyssa used them to stare with confusion.

"Your salvation party. We want to keep you away from the Witch." Orbus said earnestly.

Lyssa moved Ivona's head down, "I would like that." She said quietly.

"Good. Now, tell me, what did-"

"AHHHHHHHH!" The chilling shriek broke through the seriously-dead quiet that had entered the room the moment they started the seance.

Ivona was screaming.
