( Wow. O.o )

Cole watched Sasha get taken away. He turned to the boy who called on her. He snarled at him. "Why would you do that? Aren't you one too?" he shouted angrily, " Why? Tell me!" Cole yelled. I just got Sasha back, I can't lose her again. he thought, running over to where the guards were taking her away.

The guards pushed Cole away from Sasha. One of the looked at him with a bit of sympathy.
"This girl is a criminal. An assassin. Who knows, you could have been her next target."

Ethan ran back through the markets, hoping the guards hadn't heard Cole. A bitter taste gathered in his throat. Guilt. He shook it off. He had done the right thing. Now all he needed to do was get rid of that pesky shifter....

(Sorry for such a late reply again T.T the dogs woke me up too early for breakfast so I went back to sleep and woke up and 10 o clock haha)

Layla

Apparently, the aisle she chose was the same one Alyra had at some point chosen to go down as well. Right before she was going to go towards her, Alyra bumped into another vampire. The vampire turned around and was very obviously yelling at her, quite loudly as well. Her face is familiar. . . "I am Roxanne Nova!" Oh. That's where I remember her face. I guess she's still quite full of herself. Her parents always invited the Nova family to their parties, but they rarely came. She never talked to their daughter either, as she always seemed very egotistical and rude. But I suppose that's what happens when everything is given to you on a silver platter. Layla noticed everyone staring and decided to occupy herself by looking at a lamp close at one of the nearby stalls, while keeping one eye open at the situation. A heartthrob of a boy intercepted the situation and took away the Karen in the making. Hearing the threat, Layla quickly runs over to Alyra and leaves Oliver to deal with both of their carts. Good thing he has super strength. "Are you alright? I heard the threat. I think we should all go to the party together and if she tries anything Oliver and I can try our best to protect you." She asked, hurriedly.

Oliver

Oliver promised himself he wouldn't leave Layla alone, but he really wanted to help Alyra deal with Roxanne. She always seemed to be so rude whenever she talked to someone else, and always acted as if she was better than everyone. I may have a big ego, but it's nothing compared to her. Another vampire swooped in and somehow convinced the raging Nova to leave, and Oliver was relieved. As long as I don't have to deal with her.Layla ran off to check on Alyra, which was just fine as he decided to play Tetris with all the furniture to make sure it fit as best as it could onto the cart.

"I'm ok," Alyra lies, turning slowly to face Layla to not give away the fact that she was shaking in fear. "I think I have a better idea than having body guards though..." She thinks out loud, and looks over to a witches stall. "Potions! Get your potions here!" The witch yells through the crowd, advertising her wares, but no one goes over. Everyone knows witches are the scum of the earth, they simply don't belong. Not with humans and not even with mystical creatures. Alyra gives Layla a mischievous look and starts over in the direction of the witch's stall.

(Alyra's really shaking hands with the grim reaper now huh)

Layla

Layla noticed she was shaking hard. Who wouldn't be after that conversation? But she couldn't let Alyra do whatever this plan of hers was. If it included using a witch's potion, it had to be dangerous, right? She tried to grab her arm, but thought better of it and just stood there awkwardly. "Just . . . tell me what your plan is when you come back, okay?" Let's hope she doesn't do anything stupid. Or crazy. I just made a friend I don't need to lose her in like the span of five days.

Oliver

Oliver was having a great time stacking and un stacking the furniture, making the most out of the space on the carts. He finally felt like he finished and made his way back to Alyra and Layla. He watched as Alyra starts walking over to the witch's stall and watches as Layla calls out to her, clearly exasperated. "She'll probably be fine."

Cole knew all he could do was stand there and watch Sasha get taken away. He turned back to face the boy who turned Sasha in, but he was gone. He growled under his breath but still stood there, not knowing what to do.

(Pretty much )

Alyra walks up to the witch, whose face lights up in excitement immediately. "What can I do for you sweety?" the witch asks in an old grandma voice, and Alyra sets down some gold coins on the table, which the witch snatches up as soon as she sees them. "Would you happen to have some sort of protection spell? I've gotten into quite a mixup with a pretty powerful person and I need something. Like if I died, I would be brought back to life." Alyra asks the witch, thinking of the totem of undying from minecraft. The witch chuckles, and grabs out a tiny green vial glowing brighter than a flashlight. "This vial contains a substance that will allow you to die without any consequences." When Alyra goes to reach for the vial, the witch snatches it away quickly. "However," she continues, "it will only work once, after that you'll be dead for sure. And I want something in return." Alyra stares at the witch, cuing her to continue. "I need you to say... assassinate someone for me..." Alyra opens her mouth to object, but the witch talks over her. "Or, I sure could use a feather from the wing of a harpy, it's one of the ingredients in this potion and I would hate to run out." Alyra thinks before deciding on her answer. With one of my feathers, she could put an evil spell on me, though she could have just stolen a strand of my hair... she thinks, and then unfolds her wings, plucking a feather from herself and passing it to the witch, snatching the vial from her. "Pleasure doing business with you," the witch tells Alyra, before dropping the feather into a cauldron of brown liquid, which turns green instantly.

(She really didnt think twice about the possibility of getting cursed)

Oliver

"Never mind, she definitely just got herself cursed at the very least." He leaned onto the carts considering the exchange he just heard. "But she did get herself ready to be killed by Roxanne, which was probably smart. If I remember correctly, she never just threatened someone without consequences." He shrugged, and continued, "But she also has no idea if that thing actually works or not."

Layla

Layla started wringing her hands. Never mind I guess I don't have to wait that long. "You're right, she could've just gotten herself cursed for some green water or something." She groaned, and waited for Alyra to come back from the witch's stall. "At least she didn't jump on the opportunity to assassinate someone for it, right?"

(I mean, yolo I guess idk lmao)

"Well, I think I found something..." Alyra informs Layla and Oliver, and takes out the vial that she had previously stashed in her pocket. "Apparently, this-" she gets cut off by a wild tarzan scream, and looks up to see a deranged-looking harpy dive down to her, snatch the vial, and zoom away. Alyra opens her wings to fly after the thief, but the harpy is already gone. "WHAT THE F-" Alyra screams, and then angrily turns to the stall where the witch had been, only to realize that she had already packed up and left! "AAH!" she yells, and stomps her foot like a toddler, causing several people to glance over and give her strange looks. She looks to Layla and Oliver with fury in her eyes, and then sadness. "Well, hopefully she doesn't plan on killing me..." She hopes, referring to crazy Roxanne.

(das crazy bro )

Cole turned as he saw the group of people from the coffee shop by the witch's stall. He just watched them from afar, since he didn't want to go up to them, be friendly, do anything. He couldn't, not after what happened to Sasha. He let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes, trying not to think about it.
