“Why do you have that!?” James shouted at him.

The man chuckles darkly,

“You know what it is? This will be much more fun than I thought it would be”

Clarinette trembled, unsure what to make of the situation, what should she do? Should I run?

“Get away from him!”

Clarinette turned to face the detective, worry actually adorned his face. So he can actually make that face. She then looked back to her boss, he held out his hand for her.

“Come here child”

She glanced at the stone around his neck and without realising it she began to walk towards it, some sort of force pulling her closer to it.

“That’s right child, closer~”

“Fight it! It’s not hard just try” James shouted taking a step forwards.

“Take another step closer and I’ll kill her”

He stopped causing Gabe to laugh, Clarinette carried on walking closer, her eyes had glassed over becoming a much more golden colour, her own conscience slowly disappearing.

“Fight it”

Fight what? I just want to touch it... it looks pretty. Plus you have no right to tell me what to do!

“Good girl”

Gabe took held of her hand and muttered some words in a foreign language.

“Atua- tahito- ra”

James eyes widen as Clarinettes eyes began to glow and not long after her skin on her body soon glistened, her hair floating in the air, her clothes morphing into a long white dress.

“Ha-ha, now my saint, take this woman as your sacrifice!”

All the men, including Gabe backed away from her as she made her way towards the already dead woman. Clari slowly lifted her hand, causing the blood surrounding the woman’s body to slowly collect into a large sphere above her, as soon as the blood on the outside had gone, the blood from inside her began to spill out, causing the woman’s skin to start shrivelling up as all the blood and moisture was sucked from her body, into the giant sphere above their heads;

“Damn the saints!”

All of a sudden a wave of fire surrounds Clarinette, interrupting the ceremony, all the blood collected falls to the floor, covering herself from head to toe in the woman’s blood. Clarinette let out a high-pitch screech and turned to face James, the golden colour of the saint now tainted red.

“You dare disrupt me, you pathetic human”

“Get out of her body you stupid witch”

“I’m no witch I’m a saint, worship me!”

Clarinettes body floated towards James at a high speed, he glares at her, waving his hands in the air causing a wall of flame to block her.

“Ore atu i te Atua!” (disappear deity)

“How dare you!”

She let out an ear piercing scream, causing Gabe and his men to fall in pain, the cry of the saint hurting them.

“Make it stop!!” Gabe shouted holding his hands over his ears.

“Ore atu!”

The screaming stopped and then men let out a sigh of relief.

James held out his hands as the golden glow around Clarinette disappears as well as the clothes she wore. She landed in his arms stark naked causing his cheeks to redden ever so slightly. He took off his jack and wrapped her in it, placing her unconscious body against the wall before turning to face the man.

Gabe sat on the floor in fear, “Y-you’re an elementii as well!”

James took a step closer, some of the men got up to run but he stopped them by placing them inside a ring on indistinguishable flames.

“I thought it was a known rule that norms were not suppose to meddle with us”

“You’re making this up, get him!”

He shouted orders at his men but they disobeyed, staying in the middle of the circle, out of any other danger.

“Take this!”

As a last resort her pulled the necklace from his neck and raised it in front of him, it flashed for a few seconds before the stone cracked, finally crumbling and falling to ground.

James laughed at his pathetic attempts of saving himself,

“Those kinds of elemental stones have a limited use, and since you summoned a saint with it there was no way in hell you’d be able to use it again, but I’m sure you already knew this, considering you’ve already done it five times”

Gabe sat paralysed with fear, he looked at Clarinette in hope she’d wake up and save him, but it was no use. He was done for.

“Please don’t kill me”

“Trust me as much as I want to I can’t, the rules are much stricter over this side”

James took another step closer to him, bending down to Gabe’s level, an evil grin on his face,

“But that doesn’t mean I won’t hurt you”

The colour drained from his face, he turned as white as paper before screaming at the top of his lungs,

“MUMMY !”
