Emerald VS Zafira

First off this was written orginally few months ago but I had to revise due to Derek giving information on the American Council. So I meant to do this while ago



Zafira looked annoyed. It was the day after Thanksgiving. She should be home tending to Emily and Alex but no. Duty called. The scariest thing was all three Elders of the American Council were in the same building, usually they werent ever in the same timezone let alone building.
"News?" Grand Mage Kerias asked. Kestrel, the Administrator for the New York Sanctuary, was standing before the Council. Her face worried.

"Yes. Apparently some Irish agent went rouge." She told them. Elder Jackson shook her head,

"What has that to do with us? That's Ravel's problem" Kestrel looked afraid. After a moment she was able to regain control, "Elder Jackson, the agent is Emerald Melody. She wants the Grand Mage dead." She told the Council. For a heartbeat there was silence. Then, Zafira Kerias spoke her voice emotionless,

"Why does Melody want me dead?" She asked. Nobody spoke. But Zafira knew the truth. The war. The war against Ireland, the same one that caused deaths.

"Revenge." Zafira sighed. "I killed her people. Not me directly but..." Everyone knew the truth. It was for the war.

"How long?" Elder Spiritheart asked.

"Days." Was all Kestrel could manage. With that the meeting ended.

************************************

The next week passed by quietly. No reports of disturbances. Yet. But in the quiet was the enimies. Emerald Melody stood close to the entrance to the Sanctuary. Revenge. Finally. Nobody in the Sanctuary knew. "It is time." Emerald said. She led the others in her group in. Late night.


Zafira paced. What to do? Serphina grinned.

"Zaf, its ok. We arent going to die." She soothed. Zafira shook her head. She had a feeling. But the feeling wouldnt go away. Her hand stayed on her necklace.

"Grand Mage!" A scared voice called. An agent. Zafira followed the voice, "What?" She called. The voice screamed. Thats when the blur of Cleavers went passed.

"Oh my god." Zafira breathed. "We're under attack." Zafira bolted into the room which Eerphina and Marissa were. Breathing heavy, "We...under....attack." She stammered. Marissa drew her knife. Serphina her scythe.

"Guess we're fighting." Serphina grinned. Zafira nodded.

"This'll be fun" Marissa muttered. The ground cracked behind them. The man's voice sent a chill to Zafira.

"Indeed this'll be, li'l darlin'" Billy-Ray Sanguine agreed. Tanith Liw beside him. The Elders turned. Zafira summoning the shadows.

"Sanguine." She muttered. Great the Texan assasin. Zafira sent a fist full of shadows at him. Sanguine dodged them and sank to the ground as it swallowed him. Serphina took on Tanith swird versus scythe. Marissa summoned fire and attacked. After a minute or so Sanguine returned with a woman. Zafira was ready.

"Grand Mage Kerias." The woman spoke with an Irish accent possibly Dublin. Zafira knew her even though she never met in person.

"Emerald Melody." Zafira growled. Emerald smiled. She turned into the beast that would probably end the Grand Mage's life. A werewolf. The beast lunged at Zafira. Zafira sent shadows in an attempt to stop her. But the beast was stronger. Marissa realising Zafira needed help more then Serphina, ran to the aid. Her fire ball seared Emerald's tail. With a high pitched whine the beast turned to Marissa. Zafira cursed in Spanish. She called out for help. In the next second there was a mass of fur and Zafira was pinned. The weight was hard to fight. Zafira struggled. Marissa sent fire to distract the beast. Sanguine stood watching. Then Cleavers pelted in. Tanith got on the ceiling. The Cleavers tried to pry Emerald off Zafira. They did but Emerald lashed out clawing the Grand Mage. The beast turned back to human trying to fight. Sanguine nodded to Tanith. Tanith landed in front of him,

"Lets go" She smiled. Serphina shook her head.

"GET THEM!!!" She ordered. But the Cleavers were dragging Emerald out. Sanguine smiled,

"Maybe we'll...meet again." He grinned. Once the Cleavers were gone, he looked at the Council. He tunneled behind Zafira and grabbed her throat. "Or maybe I'm goin' to kill you. My daddy would like that. I would too. " He smiled taking his razor out. Marissa threw her knife sticking his leg.

"Or you get the hell out" She snarled. Sanguine looked at his leg.

"You got me!" He exclaimed. His attempt to be sarcastic ended. Zafira bit his hand. He let go of her. Zafira stepped away from him. She grinned summoning shadows tightening around his leg. Sanguine cried out trying to get them away. Tanith walked right behind Marissa. She watched the Elder. Her sword went to Marissa's neck. Serphina spun around. Then, Cleavers came. Sanguine immediatly went underground. Tanith ran and Sanguine grabbed her foot dragging her down.

Zafira's face was a range of fear to anger, "Remind me." She said in a deadly tone, "To phone Ravel and give him...a...present. A werewolf." With that being said she stormed off, possibly to kill a punching bag.
