Mistress of Death Amongst Immortals

Tea Party

By the time Caroline was finished, the extendable ears were forgotten about, and she was being surrounded by several redheads. All of them gave her words of comfort except the twins, "There's some new products we developed that need testing." Fred said to the distraught vampire with George agreeing, "They would be perfect targets for our pranks." Caroline couldn't help but give a wet laugh, "Thanks guys, but I think I'm just going to go home and eat a tub of ice cream while watching The Notebook."

"Actually..." Lei interrupted Caroline's thoughts. "There's something we could use your help with?" Caroline wiped the tears away and looked at her friend, "What can I help you with?" Lei smiled a little, "We've been trying to figure out a way for cell phones to work around us. And to do that, we need cell phones. Older models at first, then newer ones after we've got them to work." Caroline perked up, "So...I get to go shopping."

While Caroline, Narcissa, Draco, and a smartly dressed Scorpius went shopping, the rest of the Evan's household were getting ready to deal with the sheriff. "Okay, Fred, George, and Charlie, I need you three to not provoke the officers. No pranks," Lei sternly stated. The twins started to protest but shut their mouths when Leilani glared at them, "We need this to go as smoothly as possible. From what I understand, the sheriff, and John Gilbert are part of a council filled with amateur hunters. And somehow, we are on their radar, so be on your best behavior. Winky and Pip", The house elves popped into the sitting room. Lei turned to them, "Stay out of sight. Any rooms they disrupt will have to stay that way until they leave. Hopefully, they won't tear up our home too badly."

The twins and Charlie decided it was best to stay in the Sanctuary. When the sheriff showed up with a few deputies, John tagged along. "I told you to stay away," Sheriff Forbes was beyond frustrated with this man. "And I told you, this is also council business. So, I will be going in with you," John smirked at the sheriff. Her and her deputies climbed the stairs to the Evans' front porch with John trailing behind. One of the deputies knocked harshly on the door, "Sheriff's Department! We have a search warrant!"

The group of law enforcement plus John watch as the door opens to reveal Leilani Evans, "I still don't understand why you feel the need to search my home without probable cause." The deputy who knocked cocked an eyebrow, "We have reason to believe you are harboring fugitives, ma'am." Lei had to stop herself from rolling her eyes at the lame excuse the council came up with, "Well, I assure you I am not. But since you're already here." She opened the door wider for the deputies to step inside. All of the deputies and the sheriff were able to cross over the threshold, passing through the wards. John Gilbert, however, was not.

John became angry, "Why can I not enter?" Lei smirked and shut the door in his face. She turned around to see Sheriff Forbes glaring at her. Before Leilani could give a snarky response to the glare, she heard glass shattering in the dining room. The sheriff gave her own smirk and joined her deputies, enjoying the fact that she pissed off Leilani. Liz Forbes didn't see the Mistress of Death's eyes darken or the mischievous gleam a moment later.

After twenty long, grueling minutes of searching the Evans' household the deputies left. John was found fuming and pacing on the front porch. When a disappointed sheriff walked out, John approached her, "Did you find anything?" Liz shook her head, "Nothing out of the ordinary." As John and Liz were climbing down the steps, Leilani stated to them loud enough for the deputies to hear, "You'll be hearing from my attorney by the end of the week!" It was an empty threat since she didn't have an attorney, but she will not let the matter be swept under the rug. Leilani was already planning a few ways to 'repay' the sheriff's and John's kindness. She shut the door and went straight to the Sanctuary, there's some pranks that needed to be planned.

By the time John got to the house he was staying at he was even more angry, "How dare that woman threaten me!" John took his frustration out on the steering wheel of his car. When he entered the home, three vampires, Isobel's lackeys, looked his way. He had this idea, "I have a target for you three. I want her and whoever she is with gone. Kill her, eat her, whatever...Just make her disappear." The vampires smiled sinisterly, and one of them asked, "Who's the target?"
