Marisolla let herself into the Worthington house. She was the only one in Salem who knew it was the Worthington house, and she only knew that because she had known the Worthington's personally. When the house had been up for rent, she'd been more than happy to snatch it up.
Once inside, Marisolla pulled the curtains shut. In the living room, she lit thirteen orange candles in a circle on the floor. Orange was her power color, and thirteen was an unlucky number.
After retrieving a spool of orange ribbon, she sat down on the floor. Marisolla cut two thirteen inch pieces of ribbon. She pulled two small white dishes from a cabinet near her. The dishes looked more like something which should hold wasabi at a local sushi restaurant, but these had far more important uses.
Marisolla placed the dishes in the center of the circle. Carefully, she withdrew Alexis's necklace and Killian's hair from her pocket and placed each item in a dish. She selected the necklace first.
She made sure the circle measured thirteen inches and put the two dishes in the center. Staring into the candle flames, Marisolla began tying the ribbon into thirteen knots around the necklace while whispering the words:
"I bind your luck to me. May what you keep be nothing but bad."
She whispered the words thirteen times before putting the necklace back into its dish. Then she repeated the process with the boy's hair.
For thirteen minutes, Marisolla watched the candles burn lower and lower. Finally, she got up and turned on the living room lights. Leaving the candles burning, she settled herself into a chair with a book so that she could keep watch over them.

Mujing had heard stories of Salem, Massachusetts since he was a child, but like most things he learned from his family, the reality didn't live up to the legend. The town had become little more than a tourist trap filled with ignorant masses who would know real magic if it bit them in the ass. This is why the red-haired woman had caught his interest - She seemed to look upon the mindless crowds with the same disdain as the ex-hunter. Curious he had followed her into an old house. The use of actual witchcraft had surprised him, but certainly explained her attitude.
"I've never understood the western use of thirteen," he said when her ritual was finished, "it seems such a random number to call evil."
Before he had left Taiwan, he would have killed this woman where she stood, but Lilith had changed all that. Where he had once seen good and evil, he now saw power and powerless. This woman clearly had power, perhaps she would make a good ally.

Being topside is a very irratating experience, however till this seal business is done I probably won't be allowed to return to my work anyway. So I may as well check out Lilith's new tool. Maybe the kid could have the same thirst to deal out pain that my followers have, if so then I'll give the kid a better offer than Lilith. Sure she won't be pleased but ounce I dragged the two Winchesters into the pit she won't complain I wait for the kid to stop before appearing behind him. "Hello kid, the names Alastair." I let my eyes flash as I speak. "So what are you doing for Lilith. Maybe you should work for me. If you like to dish out pain then you'll fit in with my crew. So what do ya say. I could always use a new student to pass on all my wisdom."

Marisolla's eyes moved calmly from he book, taking in the young Asian man who now stood in front of her.
"Thirteen is supposed to be terribly unlucky." She tossed the book onto the side of her table. Getting gracefully to her feet, Marisolla began to pace back and forth.
"I need to cause a bit of bad luck. I don't like other beings who are disrespectful." Marisolla folded her arms over her chest and gave the boy a small smirk.
"What brings you to my humble home?"
Another voice caught her attention, Marisolla glanced backwards, seeing the man suddenly behind the boy. Demon-most assuredly.
"My, all these visitors. Must be my lucky night."

Mujing was pleased to see that the woman showed no fear at his sudden appearance, he had never had patience for cowards. His mouth formed a half smile when she calmly asked him what he was doing in her house.
"I'm looking for those worthy enough to serve my master. Unfortunately, Salem's inhabitants seem to be little more than children playing pretend. Present company excluded, of course."
The ex-hunter's smile disappeared when he heard the nasally voice behind him. Lilith had warned him that this demon would show up eventually, she had also informed Mujing of the consequences of leaving her service.
"Not Interested."

Oh well, even if the boy doesn't want to be one of my students he could help me on my goal. I just have to phrase what I am proposing careful. If I am lucky I may be able to enlist the witch to help. It is always good to get bonus points for the man downstairs. After all he is the one who gave me my position and one has to return the favor. "Fine, No harm no foul, but if your mission isn't that important I have a job for you that could potentially give you big bonus points towards god o'l Lil. Does the name Winchester ring any bells. You see Lilith has it in for Azazels Boy King, I personally don't care but his big Bro Deano was one of my best Students and what better way to get big points for the big boss than to be responsible for taking out the number one on Lilith's Hit List as well as helping turn one of the world's best hunters into one of us."

Marisolla nodded her approval at the boy's words. Finally, someone could see through Salem's bull. It was very rare to encounter anyone like that. Most people were so excited to come to Witch Town. It made her sick to see all these people turning history into a giant game.
"Salem doesn't know a damn thing about witchcraft." She informed the boy matter of factly. "They've been under the experience of real witchcraft for some time now and they can't figure it out."
Marisolla's eyes flicked back and forth between the boy and the demon. She had ignored the boy's statement about his master, but it was probably time to ask that question.
"Before either of you asks, I'm only interested in serving the Devil. I'd be more than happy to serve him in any manner-but I'm not wasting my time with anyone else."

"You can help the Big Man downstairs by helping us break the Sixty Six seals. That is one of my part Time jobs. I just figured you may want to meet the own responsible for setting the stage for Lucifer's release onto this world. So what do you say?"

"Lilith, the demon I serve, is Lucifer's left hand. She is currently working to set him free. I can assure you that Lilith greatly rewards those who ally themselves with her."
Mujing could respect the woman's unwillingness to serve anyone but Lucifer. In demonic politics choosing the wrong side could easily land one with a fate worse than death. More importantly this woman had no delusions of serving the side of good, the man found her open malevolence refreshing.

Marisolla listened as both the boy and the demon gave their offers. It seemed fairly similiar in all honesty. It wasn't in her nature to ally herself with anyone.
"You can't go wrong with serving Lucifer." Marisolla gave the statement as a fact, not as an opinion. She was where she was now because people thought she'd been serving him hundreds of years before him.
If you can't beat em, join em.
"Breaking seals sounds like my idea of fun." She met the demon's eyes for a long moment. "But this Lilith you speak of, tell me more. I'm not picking the side of a demon who may wish to overthrow her own master."

"Please, why would I want to overthrow Lilith when she sends me souls to torture and turn. I am afterall the cheif torturer of Hell. In fact the only reason I am topside is because Lilith keeps sending me topside to break seals because apparently I am the only capable demon of pulling these jobs off. So the way I see it we both get what we want. You get to be one of the keys to release Lucifer from his chains, I get to go back to my job, hopefully with my prized student, everybody wins. Well except for the meat-suites, the angels, and all of humanity, but who cares about that. After all where winning and when Lucifer rises all the pain, carnage, and destruction will be like a billon christmases for all demons. But to ensure that Lucifer rises we must send Dean Winchester back to hell, after all only he can stop us and with Winchester as a demon his little bro will stop fighting us. That is what I would like to call a huge bonus. The kid has a lot of power trust me on this. mutters under my breath kid almost wasted my."

Marisolla liked the idea that all of humanity lost this war. Humanity hadn't really done her any favors.
"I'll help break seals-but remember: I'm only in this game to raise Lucifer. That's what matters to me. I want to see humanity fall into ruins and get a small taste of what they've been putting anyone different from themselves through since the dawn of time. And I want to see nothing more than Salem fall."
She knew she was probably taking things a bit too dramatically. Crushing all of humanity with the Apocalypse just to see Salem get tortured like they'd tortured her people hundreds of years ago was far more than she'd ever intended, but in truth it didn't sound like a bad idea. Humanity was going to get what was coming to them.

Works for me. I would recommend going after Sammy Winchester. He has a knack for screwing up well laid plans. Plus the demon blood running through his veins should give a boost to your power. It will help us break the 66 seals and free Lucifer. Then the real fun will begin.

Mujing shook his head, "Going after Samuel Winchester is a good way to get yourself killed. He's a skilled hunter whose allied himself with a demon. Not to mention the fact that his older brother is in league with heaven's army."
If a demons as powerful as Alastair and Lilith could not kill Sam and Daen, then it was unlikely the witch would be able to end them. Besides, there were other hunters fighting against the forces of Hell. The best way to defeat the brothers was to destroy their possible allies. A witch would be much more useful knocking out the protective strongholds the hunters used.

Marisolla raised an eyebrow. She had no idea who these Winchesters were-nor did she openly care. She had no desire to get herself killed over a stupid hunter.
"I'm a witch-and a vampire. That could pose a bit of problem for these hunters. And I am not limiting my targets to specific hunters. It's all or nothing."
Marisolla strolled back and forth between the two.
"If either one of you thinks I'm entering into this to help knock out hunters you hold a grudge against, you've another thought. If I cross these two, I'll take them out, but I'm not hunting them down."
