As Lilith looked up at the old Church, she allowed a small smile to spread across her face. She had chosen this building not only because it was abandoned but because it looked old and grand, with its Gothic arches and columns, and faded frescoes. She walked in through the large doors and absently petted the head of one of the hell hounds guarding the front entrance as she passed. There were two at the front doors and two at the back door. She'd had the church ground deconsecrated so the hounds could guard the church from the inside. The outside walls were covered with angel proofing sigils so this place that she had made for herself was completely safe.
She made her way among the pews humming softly to herself. At the front of the church, a large figure of Christ on the Cross looked out over the church. Lilith had been meaning to get rid of it for some time now but something always stopped her. She told herself it was because Christ held no power over her and his presence didn't matter but she knew it was something else and she was disgusted with herself for even thinking it. Eventually, she just covered the eyes so he would stop giving her that judgmental stare.
After glaring up at him for a while, she moved off the a small side chapel with a small tomb in it. The tomb was guarded my four more hounds because not even other demons were allowed to enter here. She told them this was her personal room, where she required space and any who disobeyed would be severely punished. And while this was the case, it was not the whole truth. She opened up the tomb, where she kept her 'belongings' and searched through them. Amongst them was the Texan boys head, well preserved with his scream still frozen on his face, a small glass prison where she put the occasional misbehaving demon, and a small wooden box. This she took out and examined, the wood was carved with designs and symbols so old, she was not sure she remembered what they meant. She opened the box and stared into the blueish light that was the angel's graces. This was the reason demons were not to enter the chapel, they could not be trusted to leave the graces intact. And, although she knew that they should be destroyed or sent to Lucifer, she kept them safe, guarded by hounds who only knew how to take her orders.

Mujing couldn't see most of the protective measures around the old church, but years spent training to be a hunter told them they were there. He wasn't worried about the unseen defenses though, the man had done nothing to arouse his mistresses wrath. Yes, he may have failed to recruit the prophet to their side, but that had been expected. That he had managed to gain the alliance of Marisolla Ledeara was an unexpected boon.
The cultist stepped into the main room of the building without making any unnecessary sounds and stood by the door. Mujing knew better then to interrupt his master. He would wait until she saw fit to acknowledge him.

She knew someone had entered the church the moment they set foot in it, the fact that the hounds weren't making a sound suggested it was someone she didn't mind seeing at the moment.
She walked back out into the main room of the church to find Mujing, her latest, and favourite, minion, standing in the isle. She smiled at him.
"Mujing," she greeted walking towards him slowly. "What can I do for you?"
She was always wearing a different human when she spoke to Mujing. First, a student at his school to get close to him and now, after ditching the young body of Eve after opening the devil's gate, her favourite dental hygienist whose older body always came in handy.

Mujing returned his master's smile, taking in the beautiful woman she was wearing. This one's beauty may have even surpassed the one she had worn when he had made his deal.
"I went to the prophet with your offer. He refused, as predicted. An angel showed up before I even threatened bodily harm. It was in human form as opposed the the light show you described. I doubt he was an archangel."
Mujing stopped. Allowing Lilith a chance to speak, or attack if his failure to recruit Chuck Shurley displeased her.
"In better news, I made a discovery in Salem. A vampire who is also a witch has pledged her services. She is loyal only to Lucifer, but she has agreed to take care of any hunters who cross her path. Alistair was there as well, as you had warned he tried to sway me to his service. Naturally I refused him."

Lilith could feel the anger boiling up at Mujing's news that the prophet refused her offer. He knew something and she wanted to know what that something was. She took a deep breath and allowed the smile to return to her face.
"No matter," she said. "He will be destroyed, one way or another." And they were so close to releasing Lucifer that perhaps she would discover what the prophet knew soon enough. She listened to the rest of his news and nodded her approval.
"A vampire and a witch? That is very interesting. And impressive. She will be useful for something I have in mind."
She walked over to Mujing and touched his face lightly. "You have done very well," she said. "Better than I thought you would, truth be told." She tilted her head to the side. "Is there something you want in return?"

Unconsciously, Mujing leaned in slightly to the demon's touch, and he allowed his eyes to wander over her host body one more time. He was very proud that Lilith was pleased with his work. It was so good to finally be appreciated, to not live in someone else's shadow.
"I want only to please you, Master."
Mujing drew back slightly when he remembered that he had forgotten to tell her something. It wasn't directly related to his recruitment mission, so he had let it slip to the back of his mind.
"There is one more thing. Our sources in Taiwan report that Sen Fengyu has left the country, they believe she was bound for the States."

"I want only to please you, Master."
"And that is why we get along so well," Lilith said, her smile widening.
Lilith took a moment to process the information that Sen Fengyu had come to America. "Your sister..." she said thoughtfully. "I assume she has come for you... my biggest concern regarding her is that you will have some absurd epiphany and hesitate to kill her." She looked at Mujing sternly. "But you wouldn't do that would you?"

"You have nothing to worry about. Fengyu represents everything that is wrong with my family, I've dreamed of her death since before I met you. Actually getting to do the deed myself will be a pleasure."
It was the truth, Mujing had sold himself to the demon without holding anything back. Nothing could turn him away from this path now, especially not the sister that had tormented him all his life. Soon he would get the chance to show Fengyu which of them was the the better fighter.

A grin was painted on a blonde womans face as she wandered along a street. She ran her tongue along her top lip as she remembered her last kill, not to long ago. It had been fun for her, maybe not for the boy that chose to chase after her because he liked the look of her meat suit. Although that was the reason she had chosen this one, it had been so pretty. Walking along the street, her gaze was drawn to an old church at the end, where she could sense power, but also see the hell hounds.
"Wow, its so pretty!" She said outloud with a smile. A laugh escaped her lips as she moved towards the church, ultimately curious about who was behind the doors. She had an idea who it might be, but she wanted to be sure.
Bouncing up the steps she smiled at the hell hounds and decided to pat one on the head before pushing open a door and poking her head round, before walking in, closing the door behind her with a grin. "Why hello there!" She exclaimed, the English accent ringing through her voice. "Sorry if I'm interupting anything, it was just oh so pretty I couldn't resist coming in..." Belle explained a little, although never really explained things fully, she always got distracted by something. She stayed where she was though, letting her blonde hair flow over the top of her leather jacket, with a red strappy top underneath, and short black skirt, matched with some black ankle high boots. She always dressed to impress.

Lilith smiled at Mujing, his loyalty was refreshing. She really hoped Lucifer wouldn't hold him being human against him so she could reward him properly. She moved closer to him, placing a hand on the back of his neck.
"That's good to know," she whispered. "Because we are coming up to the finaly seals and I won't be able to free Lucifer alone. I need you, Mujing - " she was cut off by a cheerful british, female voice greeting her. Her eyes flashed white in anger as she turned her attention to the intruder. She didn't take kindly to being interrupted. She took in the demon wearing the pretty blonde that had walked into her church. She thought she knew the demon but she couldn't for the life of her remember her name.
"What do you want?" she asked, letting her displeasure show clearly.

Seeing the other Demon walk in without authorization is going to be hilarious when Lilith explodes on the intruder, maybe I will be able to "educate" the intruder on the proper procedure before entering Lilith's domain. I walk up the stairs to the church knock on the doors and wait for authorization to enter. I only hope Lilith will allow me to borrow some hounds, the whole SAW idea is a bust, the meatbags are just not playing ball, so I figure the best punishment is to be physically dragged down the Devil's Gate by the Hounds. Plus I will be able to introduce my plan to bring Deano back to where he belongs.

Belle paused for a moment when Lilith looked at her with her eyes flashing white for a moment. "Oh..." She said softly for a minute. She really didn't like to know she had displeased Lilith, or any demon higher up that had power. For power she liked, and craved, and looked up to.
"I..I'm sorry Lilith...I was only wanting to pay my regards to a powerful demon as yourself. I just sensed you were in the area and thought I'd show my support and loyalty." Belle explained, twirling a piece of hair around a finger with a small pout. Her voice had started off with a knocked confidence, but she had gained a little more as she spoke.
Belle glanced behind her at the door when there was a knock on it, and she moved away from the door, a few steps closer to Lilith, perhaps feeling a little nervous, but happy she had found Lilith, happy she had found a powerful demon to help.

Mujing was disappointed when the other demon showed up in the church, interrupting what Lilith had been saying, but wisely stepped into the background. While he was in Lilith's service, other demon's might not take kindly to the presence of a human, besides the first demon was more than capable of keeping her underlings in line on her own. Seeing her put the new comer into a state of subservient fear was amusing, though Mujing did not let the emotion show.

Lilith wathced as the demon moved closer to her and fixed her with an icy stare. She had half a mind to end her right there, but the demon had mentioned loyalty. She could always use another demon... a loud knock on the church door interrupted her thoughts and she let out a frustrated growl.
"Is it too much to ask for me to have a private conversation in my own house?" she asked, more to herself than anyone else. "Mujing, answer the door please."
She turned her attention to the blonde demon. What to do? Her choices were kill her... or employ her. And since she really couldn't be bothered killing today, it looked like this demon's lucky day.
"I suppose I could find some work for you..." she said thoughtfully. "What's your name?"

"As you wish Master."
Mujing avoided walking in front of the other demon as he made his way to the door, not wanting to risk upsetting a potentially bloodthirsty entity. He wasn't afraid of her by any means, he had spent most of his life as a hunter after all. The occultist just didn't want to risk having to eliminate a would-be minion of Lilith's.
The first thing Mujing saw as he opened the door was Alastair's grinning. face. The ex-hunter loaned inwardly, he hated running into this particular demon. It's voice and mannerisms were grating. Pushing down his distaste, he stepped aside and motioned for the demon to enter.
"Lilith is with someone right now, please be patient until she is finished with her guest."
