Jayne's face turned to watch Jerian. Her grin only grew wider as as the beast inside her absorbed Jerian's words. You... Smell tasty... he replied, and bared his now pointy teeth. However he could not help but be amused, and he wasn't stupid either. You presume beings of being brethren even though I just slew one of them. You are wrong, Jerian of the society. These beings mean nothing to me. I have been here long before them, generations before you. I have seen, heard and tásted more than you could possibly know.
The monster made sure every soldier in the immediate environment could hear what he had to say. Yet here you are, thinkin you know it all. You won't stop me, neither won't your reinforcements. Die now.
Without warning, he jumped up high, making sure the sun was behind Jayne's body and shining in the soldier's eyes. He landed next to one of the soldiers and smashed his shadow enveloped hands through his chest, breaking bones and tearing open organs. When he got ready to dash for the next soldier, something inside him blocked.
It was Jayne's own spirit. So far, she wasn't able to stop the monster inside her since she didn't hold any sympathy towards the lesser Behemoth. She didn't want to let him take over, but she didn't have the power to stop it either. But the monster made his first mistake when he killed that soldier. Jayne didn't know the man, of course, and neither did he know the other soldiers nor Jerian. But killing a human being sent her defenses overdrive, and she started mentally bashing into the demon's defenses with incredible power of will. Slowly, the physical changes reverted. Her eyes closed shut as the red in her hair disappeared again. The crystals fell to the ground and dematerialized. The shadow claws seeped down her body and disappeared into the ground. She then sank to her knees and sat still for a moment, hair covering her face and her hands lying in her lap.
When she moved again, slowly at first, she looked around her. Several collapsed buildings, Soldiers looking at her in fear and discomofort and one very confident looking man. She then felt something drop on her knees. She looked down to see her hands completely bloodied and dripping. When she looked around herself, she saw the body of the soldier her monster had just torn open. She started crying uncontrollably when she realized it had been her doing. Once again, the Monster had taken over and she couldn't remember any of it. She got up slowly as her knees wavered below her. Walking a few steps forward, staggering to the left and then a bit more backward, it looked as she was just stumbling around with no clear idea of where to go. She sank through her knees again and screamed at the sky - this time a normal young girl's scream, with none of the monster's voice left to be traced in it.

Jerian had not bothered replying to the creature's words. Cold anger was enough for him. When it had jumped high and attacked his men he'd been startled like the others, all of them had cursed and tried to shoot it, but the shots had gone wide and it had... torn open one of the soldiers... and then it had changed, fell to its knees and then all there was was a girl on her knees, howling in horror with blood and gore staining her hands.
At first no one knew how to react, but Jerian quickly snapped out of it, "The creature is gone for now, but we can't take risks. Bind her."
The soldiers looked uncomfortable with that. It a girl! A teenage girl! Not to mention... if they moved against her... what if the thing came back? "Sir I'm not sure if-" One began.
"I am." Jerian said firmly, "Tie her up, we're taking her somewhere more secure." He then activated his comm unit and said, "Omega, this is Jerian. We've got a man... eviscerated. The creature's host appears to have regained control, for now."
"Protocols are clear, Paladin." Came the voice of one of his superiors, "Bind the host, wait for reinforcements. The Medic should examine her."
Jerian nodded to himself, "Acknowledged."
He knew the protocols all right; the Medic would examine the girl, and try to figure out what the creature was inside her, and if it could be exorcised. If it could, then she'd be taken back to the city proper and be exorcised... if not... then they'd have no choice but to kill her. Jerian shook his head angrily. He had no stomach for killing innocents, but she was a danger to everyone... and he wasn't confident the creature could be driven out... in fact he wasn't confident they could kill her either; the creature would defend its host and it was incredibly dangerous.

Jayne tried to crawl back and away from the soldiers, who appeared to be unknown for her. All she achieved was that she turned around, and started into a run. Her legs however were still weak, and she didn't make it any farther than a few meters. She sobbed uncontrollably as she tried to crawl away from the soldier and the knight who had just announced he was going to bind her. None of this seemed real. She'd run away for years, and now finally they'd caught her. At her current strength, she was completely unable to stop them.
None of the soldiers seemed happy about it, but a few of them went over to the girl and took hold of her, another soldier took some rope out of a bag and started trying to tie her hands and feet, he gave her a slightly apologetic look, but his eyes also held a wary fear... after all she could turn at a moments notice.
As soon as the soldiers had tied her up, Jerian made a gesture around the room, "Pack up your equipment, get ready to leave at a moment's notice." Finally, he crouched down to the ruined corpse of the man Jayne had killed and stared into the dead man's wide eyes - surprise, fear and horror filled them. Jerian sighed and closed the man's eyes. There wasn't much he could do for the corpse's chest though. Another soldier covered the body with a blanket. Jerian looked down at the blanket and sighed heavily, "More blood upon my hands then." He said softly.
The Paladin looked over at Jayne and said, "More men will arrive soon. One will examine you and that... thing inside you. I have no wish to harm you, girl, but you know what that thing is capable of." It was odd, Jerian calling her a 'girl' as if he were decades older her senior rather than a year. But then, the last four years had aged him greatly. He'd probably have grey hairs before he was twenty five, if he lived that long.

Jayne tried to speak up, to reply, but her throat was dried out and all that she could bring out was a raspy cough. They didn't know what they ware starting! They needed to let her go! She needed to get away, before he was awakened again. They were risking their lives for what? For no reason. It would only bring more harm. She knew it, but she couldn't get the words over her lips.
Jerian recognised the fear in her eyes and his expression was stony, "I know the risks of this, girl. That thing could break free any moment and slaughter us all... but I would rather that we all died trying to destroy the creature inside you, than live knowing we let you, and it, walk free. I will not have the blood of all those you might kill on my hands."
He turned to his men, "Keep a watch on her. If she starts changing shoot her." His voice was cold and hard and brooked no protest, but as he walked away his shoulder slumped slightly and he shook his head.

Jayne tried to protest, but once again her voice didn't respond to her will. She just dropped her head in submission, unable to resist.
We will get them in time... The monster inside her told her. Jayne pushed it back, still on guard for his attacks. He relented, for now.

Jerian didn't approach her again. He was sat down alone in a cleared space near the middle of the room. None of the soldiers approached him, or her. Glances cast her way by the soldiers ranged from fear, to suspicion to pity, but there were always at least three soldiers watching her at all time, rifles held in a relaxed but ready way in their hands.
The soldiers glanced at Jerian too, whispering to each other. Some looked curious, others fearful of him, others had more incomprehensible expressions. Two soldiers were close enough for her to catch part of the conversation, "I dunno Jordan." One soldier said, he was a heavy-set man, broad of shoulder and with his hair shaved off, "I still think he looks too young. I mean, he's barely old enough to be in the army."
'Jordan' a wiry man with close cropped brown hair aid, "Young, sure, but he's Society, isn't he? They're always put in the worst parts of to fighting. I bet he's saw more combat than both of us put together."
The other soldier sneered, "Bah, all sortsof strange stories about that lot. Magic and nonsense."
"Daniel." Jordan said pointedly, "We were just fighting demons, we've been fighting them for four years now. Angels too, vampires, werewolves and God knows what. Magic 'ain't nothing."
"Don't trust him. Not any of that lot. Where'd they get those powers anyhow? Old tales said it was gifts from Demons... what if they're true?" Daniel said, glancing over at the Paladin.
"If my powers come from Demons, Private, then you're all screwed." Jerian said without looking up, "The Society has stood against the Demons and Angels for five thousand years, we've protected you, kept you safe, for generations. We've been fighting and dying for you long before The Veil failed, if anything, you all owe us your lives a thousand times over."
"Why'd you all hide then?" Daniel asked with anger, "Huh? Why'd ou lot hide and keep all this hidden? Why didn't you tell the rest of us, let us prepare? If we'd known - if the government knew - then maybe we wouldn't have been slaughtered when your precious Veil got broken."
"No on would listen, none of you would have believed, and even when proof was brought before the governments they buried for fear of riots and panic." Jerian responded, still not looking at them, "Besides, keeping the Infinite War from the public eye was part of almost every treaty and agreement we ever had with any of those creatures."
"Fat load of good your treaties did us." Daniel muttered.
"It was not we who broke the Second Treaty of Sinai, nor the Golgotha Accords nor the Third Covenant of Jerusalem." Jerian said, "Such agreements kept the Angels out of ou affairs and allowed us to keep the Demons in check. If we had not done so, then the world would have felt the fires long before the Veil was broken." He finally looked over at the two soldiers, "Question me if you wish, question The Society, but don't deny that we didn't do everything damn thing we could to keep you lot alive. Even now; more of my brother and sister Knight have died in battle the past four years than in the past hundred years. The Order has sacrificed everything, and then some, to keep you alive for just a day, an hour longer."
The two soldiers fell silent after that and Jerian turned away. After a short, awkward silence the murmur of low conversations returned.

Jayne readily absorbed all this information. The soldiers were definately in distress, and none of them fully truster Jerian or his 'society'. This was pretty useful information and could work in her favor.
As she rested, her breath evened out and she started to recover from the monster's attack on both her mind and body. She tried the ropes' strenght without letting the guards know, only to find them tightly knot together, except for the ones around her legs. They certainly looked tight, but they didn't feel like it. Thinking back, she did remember a younger soldier tying her legs. He must've had a pity and wanted to be careful. She felt sorry for him, cause he was only taking more risks, but this time it might just work in her favor. She needed to get out, because once the monster tried to renew his attacks, none of the restraints in human posession could bind it.

The soldiers were still talking, but they hushed when Jerian suddenly stood up an began walking to the door, one of the soldiers approached him, "Where are you going, sir? The reinforcements should be here any minute."
"I know." Jerian said, "But this place still smells of blood, and I need some air."
"But... what about our...uh... the girl?" He asked.
Jerian smiled slightly, "Well unless the demon makes a reappearance, she' not going anywhere." His expression darkened, "Still, I wish we had something better than just rope to tie her with... I'd give my left arm for a length of Runic Chain... still, I'm confident in your abilities, I won't be gone long."
Jerian walked out of the building went back to talking to each other.
"I know." Jerian said, "But this place still smells of blood, and I need some air."

Jerian walked out of the building went back to talking to each other.
Jayne smiled mentally. This was it. If she didn't get away now, she was going to be exorcised. Or they'd make an attempt to do so. Even if they would succeed, all they'd accomplish is pull the demon out and break the boundaries it was comitted to by Jayne. They'd only make matters far worse. She fiddled about a little bit and managed to get her feet free unnoticed. She sat up straight and leant into the wall, ready to go but keeping her feet still hidden from view.
"C-could I please get some water?" She asked. One of the guards looked a her suspiciously, but gave her some nonetheless. As soon as he got close, things went really fast. Jayne headbutted him in the stomach, sending the surprised man flying. She quickly turned on her feet and rushed out the back door of the building, quickly running off through the street. She hid in another building and started cutting her roped through at a hidden pipeline, now broken, that had been exposed in the chaos. After that she ran through and out the other side of the building, climbing up a fire escape to get to the rooftops.

Jerian had barely got out the door when chaos erupted in the building behind him. The Paladin sighed in exasperation, "They always run..." He muttered. He spotted the girl running towards another building,
Jerian sighed again and unsheathed the short-sword at his side and made his way into the building. Before long he'd found the severed ropes, he then spotted the fire escape and climbed it after the girl. Once on the roof top he shouted, "It won't do you any good! We can help you! We'll exorcise the demon! It won't hurt you, or anyone else! The Society knows how to handle these things! I know you're scared, but please... I'm the good guy here." Or at least, I'd be the good guy if my Plan B wasn't murder Jerian thought darkly, By The Nine, this isn't what I trained for... I'm supposed to protect people like her not... He cut himself off with a shake of his head and began walking along the roof top, sword held at the ready. If she turned... if the creature attacked him... he'd have no choice about whether the girl lived or died.

Jayne made an incredible jump across a gap, hanging down a rope to the side of another building. She didn't know why it was there and she didn't care either. She quickly climbed back up and pulled the rope up on the roof to prevent Jerian from following. "You don't understand!" she yelled back at him. "You'll only make matters worse!"
Jerian stopped at the gap, he sighed, "I've been doing this since I could walk, girl. I know what I'm doing, you might not believe that, and your creature might not either, but The Society has five thousand years worth of experience in this. We aren't just going to cut that thing out of you and let it go free. There are wardings, there are protections. We have ways to bind creatures like that, to seal them. Exorcisms take place in chambers specifically designed to weaken and trap creatures like the one inside you; it won't get free and it won't possess anyone else."
As he'd been saying this Jerian had bee examining the gap. If the girl continued to run he'd have to jump it.

Jayne looked back. "5000 years?" she replied, seemingly thinking that over for a while. "I still think you don't understand. This... monster... Has been in my family for generations, granting us extended life in the process. It, and us, have been around for over 100.000 thousand years. Whatever it is your society can do, you will make matters worse."
"A hundred thousand years? Huh, that's half the age of the human species." His tone was sceptical, "Though we've exorcised Demons inhabiting hosts who were at least that old. Maybe not quite he same; the possession wasn't passed down between generations, but... hmm... that creature must be some kind of Elder Demon... or a Fallen"
Jerian grimaced, he doubted the thing really was one of the Fallen - the original Angels who had rebelled and founded the Lower Planes... but if it was... if there was a chance... He shied away from that thought, a creature of that power would be a difficult thing to exorcise, not impossible, but difficult, and even harder to bind.
"It doesn't matter, in the end. Your demon is old, and therefore powerful... we have faced similar creatures before." A grimace passed over Jerian's face, he'd heard legend of such beings, heard the tolls they exacted before being defeated... or disappearing at any rate.

"You'll kill us all." Jayne simply replied. He wasn't going to relent, and the monster inside her was stirring again. She started shivering as she pushed it down again, trying as hard as she could to keep it away from her mind. If she didn't lose this guy now, he'd lose the entire city. The monster inside her was getting angrier by the second.
Jerian growled in frustration; the girl wasn't going to give up, "Fine, if you won't come quietly... I'll come and get you by force!" Jerian took a running jump towards the building, but Jerian was an Adept of Air, and so as he jumped he pushed against the air below and behind him, so that he easily cleared the gap and landed on the other side in a low crouch, short-sword in one hand, rifle in the other. He smiled, "Let's see who runs faster, then."
Jayne reached into her inner being, pulling dark energy from the monster. That's right... use my energy... it commented. "Shut up." Jayne said. She didn't like doing this at all, but it would have to be done. It was for the greater good.
Black shadow enveloped her feet and she jumped back at the roof Jerian came from. She landed, turned sharp left and ran to the edge, jumping to the next one. She continued at this speed, traversing the roofs at an immense speed.

Jerian cursed under his breath as the girl jumped passed him, "Damn fool girl will kill us all!" He spat. He turned around and chased after her, using his wind magic to propel himself over gaps and to soften landings. As he ran he pressed his hand to the communication device on his ear, "Omega command, this is Jerian. Host has escaped, I am in pursuit, where's that back-up?"
"They're at the building you just left with your men. We've ordered them to set up a perimeter around the area to stop the girl leaving. We've got more men en-route. We can't let her get away, Paladin. Commander O'Hara is in command of your reinforcements, her ETA to your present location is two minutes."
Jerian didn't allow himself the luxury of feeling surprised, "Dawn's here? Fine. Give me a nav point to her location, I'll herd the girl towards her."
"Acknowledged."
The heads-up display on the screen that appeared in front of his eye, sliding out of the device on his ear, showed a blue blinking dot chasing a red dot, a green dot showed him where Commander O'Hara was. Jerian smiled grimly as he chased after the girl; he'd have to force her to turn.
The next time he got a clear view of the girl he pushed against he air in front of him and sent a blast of wind at her, intentionally making it miss, but hoping that it'd spook her into running back into he waiting arms of his men.
