Alexander hobbled as fast as he could into the house before slamming the door shut. He then proceeded to put the house into lockdown, shutting off every available exit and entrance and revoking anyone's right to just pop in and visit. Even Mel's. The house was completely cut off from the rest of the multiverse and it would remain so until he reopened. Which wouldn't be for a while, if he had anything to say about it.

Panting he slumped against the door, leaning his head back and moaning slightly. He felt horrible. Half himself. Caught and trapped. And it was all that stupid Sue's fault. He tugged uselessly at the pendent around his neck. "Oh gods... oh gods... I can handle this. Yes... where's Nick?" He staggered up, "Nick? NICK!" he bellowed out, hoping that the boy wasn't on the other side of the door. Hoping that he had come home already.

Limping, he started to the bedroom where he hoped that Nick was.

"Yes, I can! She's hurting you! I need to!" Nick yanks his hand away.

"Then we'll wait until your capable of doing it."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"No. I can't wait that long. I want her dead." Nick's vehemence brings on another coughing fit, this one a lot worse.

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"I don't care! I don't want to loose you. She already hurt you once, I don't want to give her another chance to hurt you again! I can stand the collar if it means giving you time to heal." He snaps back.

"I'm not getting better! I won't be getting better until I have that damn mark and that bitch isn't budging on her idiotic stance to not give it to me! She might take you away from me." Nick looks at him appealingly.

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"No one is going to take me away from you. I won't let them. Not even Serentitel and her stupid collar."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

Nick sighs. "I'm just scared you won't be able to stop her. And I know it's stupid. I just want to help."

Alexander pulled Nick into his lap, holding him tightly, "I know you do, Love. And I'm not saying you can't. I'm just saying we should exercise a little patience and thought. We need to be clever."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

Nick coughs again. "I'll try being patient. Promise."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"We need a plan. She's caught me off guard twice now. It's getting embaressing."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Lure her somewhere. Get her bells off. Stab her."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

He murrmurs something that sounds like "that's my blood thirsty Nick" before saying out loud, "A good plan in theory, but it needs work in the details."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Lure her to Ancelstierre. The charter wouldn't work there and neither would her bells."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"It would have to be deep into Ancelstierre, wouldn't it? Far away from the Wall?"

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Yes. You could convince her that you were escorting me back home and you'd like her to come along?"

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"She doesn't want us anywhere near each other. She won't allow it, I don't think."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Well, then, you tell her you're taking her somewhere, but go deep into Ancelstierre, and I'll be there, waiting for her."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

He thinks this over, "I don't know Ancelstierre."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"I do. I'm sure there's a good location somewhere..."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Well, you pick somewhere, and we'll go check it out."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"All right. Let me think about it for a bit."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"Somewhere defensible and we could pull off a good ambush. Out of the way of most people, so they don't get involved."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"I'll be the ambushing one. You should probably get out of the way, so she can't command you to fight me. You'd make quick work of me."

[master-troven.livejournal.com]

"I will try, but we still need to set up the ambush. Scout out the area and everything like that."

[accidental-evil.livejournal.com]

"Yes. As soon as I think of one."
