Emma did not leave her room for two days. She just couldn't face the world yet. Closing the door behind, having her first encounters with her new body to Kaz and Chantra... It left her uneasy, and a little bit scared of what was to come.
They accepted her a she was now, but still saw the Emma within this new, cold, unemotional body... Infact, Kaz was grinning to the fact that she lost some of her cuteness to make up for the new found seducing figure she now possessed.
Brian... Their talk... He said he would help her, be there when she needed, like Kaz, but for far more purposes. Kaz could not keep on the straight and narrow. Emma was walking the fine line between her and her Mom's good side... And the dark brooding side of which her Mom also too passed to her.
Her cape in sway, she pulled the hood off her head, as she now took up her usual perch next to the window, stareing out of it coldly into the snowy air. What beauty the snow had, but had hidden powers of which cold chill a creature to the bone, and cause it to wither and freeze into a shell of it's former self... Just like Emma...
Scared to untap these new powers, Varick was slowly awakening them with her hatred for Ayreg... Which still she kept untapped. Confused after her outburst to Varick - questioning his true motives - he left her again confused, and believing for him to be the Good guy in all this.
Emma fell to her knees, her gauntleted hands falling out to push against the floor as she laid there now on all fours, trying so hard to keep her shaking, crying form.

Kill him. Kill Varick. Kill Brian. Kill. Kill! KILL!

"No!" Emma's hands clawed up to her head, clenching one of the four strands of long hair she left uncut, pulling on it firmly, rocking back and fore, using her legs to do so as she knelt there on the cold hard floor.
"...I must'nt kill.... I must'nt kill...." Emma's eyes clenched... And as she opened them, there stood a figure's feet, then, a voice from above her.

"You know Varick will use you. You know they will all sue you, for your power."

"You know it's true?"

Emma's head jerked to the side, her cold unmoving eyes were now wide in fright, ".... Who are you?"

"Kill."

"Kill."

"Your bloodlust rises... You may not need it to sustain your life..."

"life... Your life!"

"No! You want it because it brings you pleasure to drink to the blood of your prey! You are stronger! You are the power they crave! Varick, Ayreg, Talomar, Brian, Kaz, Chantra, Tetronus, Tara - they all want it!"

"My power! MINE!" Emma stood up kicking out at a chair, her fangs bared as the chair summersaulted twice before crashing into two neat pieces on the ground beside her bed.

"Get revenge" Varick's voice echoed, "All the pain. The suffering... give it back to them."

"I won't kill! I won't kill! I will not submit to your destiny Mom!" Emma screamed, the voices stopping, her panting hard, then, falling to her knees her arms wrapped around her chest, pulling her legs close to her stomach, she balled up tightly on the floor, shifting back and fore on the spot repeating over and over again: "Brian"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"You will feel much better if you kill."

"So much better..."

"... Try it."

Emma's madness was high, the dark desires of her Mom to become the one true powerful immortal being, the poison of Varick's words to kill Ayreg, Brian's almost vow to keep her on the straight and narrow... Her own personal vow to protect the ones she loves with this new found power...

But all these, was causing Emma's breakdown. She did not know which one to focus on... But right now all Emma wanted, was blood. And it didn't matter who's that was.

Emma had appeared downstairs, her darkness now known to her friends... But her old lover, Han/Kaz, was the second of her victims, but, the one to survive.

Emma dropped Han's body, her fangs drenched in new blood, her eyes widened in bloodlust as she
turned her body towards Icer, her eyes stareing... Icer? Her hands moved her head, as she then fell to her knees.
"Ahhh! Stop it! No! Kill them! Kill them all!" Emma stood laughing, almost drunkily swaying to the side and almost
falling over a chair, the blood of Han's leaking out onto ther white gown, her fingertips rubbing it onto her arms.
Then Brian's voice cuts through the voices wtihin her mind.
Dressed in his fatigues and wearing his tactical harness, he tossed his coat aside and noted
Ya gotta be kidding me.. His eyes pan to Icer and then to Tetronus as his fist clenches in anger as he
recalls the last talk he and Emma had."Emma... Dear.. What in the hell are you doing?!"
"B-Brian..." Her hands went out as if blind. " Emma Is that you?"
"Sheathing his sword, he walked towards her carefully and knelt close.. His hand took hers as
he spoke calmly, "Emma.. You need to stop this.. I know what happened.. I can feel you both and there isn't
enough room for you both."
His eyes watched her closely, as he spoke. He knew what she was capable of, and made sure he kept a safe stance:: He needs help..
"Emma.. Remember what you and I talked about.. I said I would walk that path with you.. But I
can't walk it if you are fighting within yourself. You need to stop this. Too many have been hurt and I don't want you
to follow suit."
Emma's hand went out to Brian's hand, but then retratcted, "The Shadows will consume you Brian!
The shadow's will consume all." Emma stood up her eyes glareing to him, Lucy's voice was more strong over
Emma's voice, as her hands scratched at her arms. Falling over a chair she then smacked her head upon the
ground roughly her body fell limp and her pupils grew tiny. Emma cried, holding her face into her hands.
"I've been looking for you. Since I got word.." He too stood as she did, and listened, "Damn it
Lucy, leave the girl be!" As she fell he ran to her side and took a knee again, lifting her gently into his arms as he
knelt he spoke softly "I fear no shadows. I made a promise to you. Let them come and let your mother come."
"You deserve more than this. Don't be this weak. Any fool can give into anger and feed off of it, like you mother did. Please."
Emma had no idea what was going on, the voices was stopped abruptly, every single voice.
Ayreg's, Varick's, Brian's, Talomar's, Renna, Lucy's... So many voices. Crying harder and harder, she held onto
Brian so confused, her headache growing. "I killed someone! I killed someone, Brian!" Crying, she held onto him
tighter, "... H... He.... I couldn't stop them! I couldn't stop the shadows!"
He knew she could snap any moment, one of his hands went to his back as he unsnapped the
clasp to one of his wakizashi blades. He just wanted to make sure if she did snap he could react in time before
anyone else got hurt. His arm moved back to her, as she cried out. He held her tightly and gently rocked her as if
he would a child:: "I know... I had a feeling and that's why I came. I was looking for you since last night. We need
to stop this, before more people get hurt. Before you get hurt. You need to let your mother go."
This hit way to close to home for Brian.. In his mind he recalled when he gave in to Darkin
Gauntlet and nearly killed Kat, Jewell, Myst and Alex.. He was lucky he was stopped and the artifact destroyed.
But he knew this wasn't going to be that easy by a long shot.
Emma was just crying, and the more she cried the more she looked to his sword. Then, closing her
eyes, she touched her lips, Han's blood was still fresh in her mouth, and then she looked to his unmoving form.
"No..." She knew that was Han, the blood told her so... the blood... Blood. "Blood...." Emma whispered, rolling her
head towards Brian, her lips a wicked smirk. "Briiiiiiiiian...." Her hand gripped his neck tightly, but... She couldn't
bring herself to squeeze...
Stenly Brian looked to her eyes, he made no movements and his glare did not waver. He would
not back down, if he did so in the slightest this was all for naught. :: "You can't have her Renna.. Let her be. Your
time here is past. If you ever loved her, you need to let her be." ::His eyes still locked to hers, his face stone as he
spoke:: "Do NOT set her off... No random bursts of anger or power."
The last part was directed at those who were still able to speak or act. He didn't want Emma to
completely give control to Renna and was afraid if Renna felt a burts of energy, or a snack if you will. All hell would
break loose, noting Tet's revertion, he closed his eyes a moment and readied himself to do whatever needed
to be done to stop this. But he didn't want it to come to that, not at her risk.::
"Emma? You in there still? We got work to do. Tell Renna she needs to go and you need to live."
Emma's face turned colder, and the more she looked into Brian's eyes, the more she felt compelled
to let go. Her hand dropped and her eyes softened, and then closing her eyes she looked to Tetronus... A smirk
passing onto her lips. Chuckling, Emma's eyes opened before settling to stare back into Brian's. Her black
fetahered wings wrapping around him slowly. "We're one soul now. And wether she likes it or not. She has the
power to end everyone. This, is my destiny onto her." Renna's dark chuckle
faded, and then her body fell limp. It was over, Renna was silent.
