The Institute
"Or by your timely eviction from the Institute," Jones returned, snarling out his comment without reserve.
Nik's body went slack, allowing him to position his weight evenly and push Jones off of him. "I'd like to se you try."
Jones stumbled back and got onto his feet once more, wanting to shake off the danger of being held down on the floor. "It'll just be a matter of time..." he returned.
"Before you're dead?" He asked. "Yes. Quite right."
((Wait it's sort of becoming a fight to the death here and none of these guys can die...shall I have something come up so Nik has to go, seeing as Jones can't leave the Institute to Nik...or maybe he could?))He began circling Nik, trying to find the angle. Nik had the weapon, but Jones had experience over him. He felt confident enough to get out of this.
((I have no idea. I don't want them to die :( ))Nik spread his arms out. "Why are you so hesitant, Jones. If you want me dead so badly...just end it."
((Neither of them to die of course. I'll figure it out.))"I hate to admit it, but you know it. Shadowhunters are precious, and we stick together. It'd hurt me greatly to have to kill you..." Jones warned in return. Suddenly, through the doors, busted in Xavier and Ryder.
Nik smiled slowly like a cat. "Well, we accomplished one of the goals I came here for." He purred. "Now to take care of another nuisance."
"Wait, Nik, no. We can't waste time. We have our prize, let's just leave," Xavier insisted, grasping Ryder with his paralysing charm. "Where's Jaze? Let Ryder go!" Jones insisted, ready to attack Xavier then and there.
Nik threw out his sword arm so that it was directly at Jones' neck. "Xavier is of the utmost importance to me, Jones. I wouldn't want to go messing with him if I were you." His voice shook with anger. "Xavier, this...Shadowhunter," He spat out the last word like a curse. "Is only going to create more unnecessary problems for us in the future. If we eliminate him now, it will ease my anxiety, and also give me an extreme sense of satisfaction." Nik dropped his voice so only Jones could hear him. "I've been waiting for this moment for years."
((would make Aly fight even more if they killed him.))
((If it's night rp time we can go ahead and do Lexi's attack.))
((It is mid-afternoon in my head but it can be night if you want))
((Maybe if the Institute is near where Lexi is he hears her and thats why he leaves?))
((Oh. Oops. He has to finish yelling at Jones first))
((between here and AtE do I make you sad a lot ;)))
((Hey hey I'm here! Actually, why don't you kill Jones, Nik? I feel like that'd be a good plot twist. The dying mentor trope is always a big one))"Do you have no respect for your own kind?" Jones questioned, not wavering or backing down with his threat. "Nik, let's just quit it," he insists.
((I'M KILLING HIM SO HARD HE'S GOING TO BLOW UP))"Not a chance." He growled. Nik stepped forward and drew his arm back, leaving a gash Jones' neck. A spray of blood splashed Nik's face, but he didn't blink. This was what he wanted.
((No :'(. btw Giulia where is Nia? I want to know what Aly's parabati is doing.))
((Sorry Elizabeth, I don't think Nia is my character?))Jones hardly had time to react before he felt the slick blood wet his shirt. He collapsed in an instant. Ryder struggled against his bounds with such ferocity that Xavier had a hard time controlling him. "Now you've done it Nik...they're going to ask for revenge," he said, seeing it as an inconvenience.
((She was Nicole's but you took her over after Nicole left.))
"Then we'll deal with it when the time comes." He snarled, stepping over Jones' lifeless body. Nik's whole body froze when he heard a scream tear through the air. "Lexi...?" He whispered. He flew past Xavier and Ryder, shouting "Meet me at the house!" before bursting forth onto the street. ((Imma coming for ya lexi))
"Wait Nik!" Xavier called after his friend as he dashed out of the Institute. "What in names..." he muttered, shaking his head and observing the scene before they departed as well. His minions were MIA so he figured he might as well leave the collateral damage behind. "Come on Ryder. We're going home."((As usual, your memory is infallible...where do you want Nia in all of this? I hardly remember the last place I left her off at.))
((I think the last time you used her was the last time Nik and Xavier attacked the instuite. maybe she was in another town getting help for the Nik problem. All of us can play a shadowhunter or two? They come back and find the body?))
((If you want you can be one of the ones Nia comes back with? Up to you)
((Sure, just have them come in now?))Nia walked up to the Institute doors, exhausted from the long drive back into New York after their out of town mission. She hardly thought she had enough energy to get back out onto the streets right after this.
Terra, a Shadowhunter in her early twenties came in with Nia. She'd heard everything when Nia had come to her Institute. This Nik guy needed to be taken down...
((I didn't post this one honestly.....))
"I'll try to find you guys beds for the while. I'm sure Jones wouldn't mind," Nia told them as she opened the doors and found the Institute was dead silent and dark.
((Hehe you two))"Yup. But why he's sitting around in the dark, I don't know," she said affectionately, turning on the lights as she made her way upstairs to the study, where she suspected he'd be.
((No problem. Anyways, shall we carry on?))"Jones? I've brought help," Nia called up, beginning to ascend the staircase when she noticed the railing was all scratched and scorched. Someone carelessly handled the bar when they walked upstairs.
Terra pulled out her blades. something definitely seemed wrong.
((Giulia can you send Ryder and Xavier back to Nik's? Want to rp aly and Ryder.))
"With me putting a blade through your heart." He whispered into Jones' ear.
