they knew that devon was just trying to help but they couldn't help the destructive part of themselves (and, admittedly, the very hopeful part), that this would work. "come on," soledad whined pathetically, puppy dog eyes on full display, "don't be a downer!" bumping shoulders with their friend, sole knew the other was concerned but had little problem with shrugging their shoulders and grimacing at the idea this wouldn't work. "i'll cross that bridge when i come to it. now," puppy dog eyes back on display, "are you going to help me with this audacious plan or not?"

"oh it's audacious now, is it?" they were trying not to chuckle, but the smirk on devon's face certainly gave it away. "fine, but i swear sole, it's this once and never again. we both have work to do, things to do." in all honesty, devon didn't have that much to do. they liked to be on top of things, but still they had a schedule and they liked to stick to it. "tell me more about this audacious plan, will ya?"

the slayer moved a piece of hair from her face, trying to find some way to comfort the halliwell woman. "no i understand that," she tried to sound as soothing as she could, "and i'm sure its annoying - me, coming here to tell you what you should or shouldn't do. but i don't exactly want it to be like that. i want your input and your help keeping you safe - its not a one person fix, i don't think." raquel ran a hand over her face, stressed and wracking her brain. "i think it would be a good idea to hit the books with the scooby gang; try to find some answers, maybe hit the streets to talk to my contacts to see what's been brewing underground. i hope that we can nip this in the bud, i really do. but..." it might take awhile, raquel realized. "it takes as long as it takes."

"my family, we have a book. it was entrusted to myself and my siblings. i don't know how or if it could help, it's not been updated in years but... it might be somewhere to start." paisley murmured, chewing on her lower lip as she looked over the slayer. "we can go grab it, grab whatever else you think would help then... meet up with the gang, i suppose. but," she interjected, "the second someone else is put in danger because they're associated with me we stop, and i go it alone again." the last thing that paisley wanted was for others to get hurt because of her, and that was another thing that seemed to run in the halliwell bloodline. "yeah, as long as it takes." a beat "you really think we stand a chance with this? that i stand a chance?"

"And I'm trying to get you out of here, alive. I know I don't look very trustworthy, but you have to trust me right now." Annalise knew that she didn't look like someone could be trusted right now, she looked like the weirdo that people would need to be run away from. But she wasn't the main danger here, and she'd be damned if they weren't both surviving this.

watching spooky movies was something lucia loved to do, especially with her friends. she knew life was spooky enough, being what she was, but this was a carefree way to indulge in the spooky season with them at least. that was, until she got that feeling. her whole body had a chill go through it, hair standing on end and her spine shivered; it wasn't a scary point in the movie, but without even looking around she screamed. her scream was so piercing, her friends covered their ears and the glasses on the wooden table shattered. someone was going to die. lucia stood up, still screaming, and eyes widened as she saw the masked figure. the scream stopped, but that didn't mean the danger had passed. she could still feel it in her bones. someone was going to die. "get out. get out! RUN!" lucia shouted to her friends, knowing that this wasn't a prank. he was there to kill them, and she wasn't sure they'd survive.
