In Astra manor where ritual had concluded Ophelia was seared on a lavish sofa whilst she drank a cup of hot coco.
As Lazarus lay in the ground with his head resting on Cassandra's lap, with her gently rubbing his hair as she staring at his peaceful sleeping face.
Lason squated next to them as he began poking Lazarus's sleeping face. "So what now?" He questioned to no one in the room.
Nova immediately answered as she spoke and most of the eyes were on her except a few. "Well... he came up with a plan were we frame them for yhe kidnapping of Maxwell and used this to frame Lazarus."
Lason immediately recognized the plan and smiled. "Smart son of a bitch. He knew no matter how it would look, since he vanished with them it could be used to say he was in on it, but if we use this yo frame him as the one's responsible most of not all the heat will be on him."
Astra who levitating above them on a chair with Merlina on her lap eating the leftover cake from breakfast.
"We could also augmented some of the police forces memories to stop them from questioning thing's. Also I felt a weird presence back at the police station."
Cassandra looked up at the starry witch while she still rubbed Laz's hair. "Like what? Since it seems like your refering to something else aside them undead."
Astra place her hand on her chin in thought as she tried to describe what she felt. "Hard to describe but it felt unnatural... or to be more precise demonic in nature." She finished, her words traveling through everyone especially Nova.
"What do you mean by....demonic?" She questioned as the pale white eyes met Astra's ones.
"What I'm trying to say is that someone in your pilice force could be or has made deals with a demon."
Upon hearing that Nova's thought began to spiral as she remembered some of the strange occurrence in her work place.
Such as the suspiciously high funding that came seeminglying, along with the high amount of arrests for little things that could have been written off as warns and many more.
"Argh, my head."
A sound stur the room, as Cassandra lookwd down and saw Lazarus who's eye were open with him rubbing his head.
He stared at her and smiled, his arms stretched as he placed his hand gently across Cassandra's cheek.
She didn't pull away as she rubbed her face against his palm.
"You okay?" She asked, her words were simple but conveyed her emotions. To which Lazarus grabbed her other hand and planted a small kiss on it.
"I'm fine.... sorry for scaring you with my sudden fainting, must have given you a little fright?"
"Nah, I was fin-"
Oh! Yeah she was worried my guy!" Lason interrupted with a wide goofy smile across his face.
He went down to one knee and offered his hand and Lazarus smiled as he took it.
"So did she tell you the plan?"
"Yup! We got the jist of the plan."
Good now lets start.
One week later.
Inside an abandoned warehouse sat 3 people being Lazarus who sat tied to a chair with numerous wounds on his body.
Maxwell who was chained to the wall, but he seemed unharmed aside the fact he seemed sedated by some drug.
And Ivan who stood infont of Lazarus with blood torture weapons.
"You know... my memories are foggy about what happened to my teammates but I have this feeling you and that bastard have some connection to it." He said to Lazarus who stood there on the chair seemingly unresponsive, but it did stop him from continuing to speak.
"And the reason I can harm you, but I'm not harming that prick is because his daddy got connections that I don't want to deal with. So don't blame me for this. Okay." He continued his rant despite the person he was talking to being unresponsive.
Ivan grabbed a gun as he approached Lazarus's head seemingly attempting to end his life.
*BANG!*
"Argh!" Ivan was shot in the arm causing him to release his weapon and it falling to the floor.
"Ivan! Get your hands in the air and back away from the hostages slowly." Nova shouted as she pointed her gun at Ivan who was holding his bloody arm and immediately ran for Maxwell attempting to se him as a hostage.
*BANG, BANG!*
Two gun shots where hear as Ivan dodged them by jumping back to avoide them but was further away from either of his hostage.
As he lookwd up and saw officer Dennis and officer Randle who with sworm of police officers where pointing their guns at Ivan who was surrounded.
Ivan knew he was surrounding as he years as a hunter allowed him to sense the level of danger he was in and he could tell based around the amount of presences he could detect he was surrounded.
Both inside and outside the warehouse.
'How did they find me i was certain no one knew of this place! Wait could have any of them betrayed me? No what am I saying of course they wouldn't betray-"
But before he could finish that thought he felt and arm wrapped around his neck placing him in a sleeper hold. He looked back as saw Lazarus who was giving him a toothy smile with his fangs prominent but he could think probably as he was getting the life choked out of him.
He collapsed from the lack of oxygen going to his brain and Lazarus fell to the ground letting out heavy breaths.
The police forced moved in as they approached the collapse pair.
"Mr Thomas, are you okay?" Nova approached her sense were on alert knelt down towards Lazarus. "We have things under control, your safe now."
She finished as the sound of cuffs being placed on the wrist of Ivan who was unconscious.
Lazarus smiled back at Nova, who knew he was having fun at this.
