"If I were some evil mastermind, where would I hide in plain sight?" Beatrix whispered to herself, her eyes scanning the village around them as the best friend's walked through the town. Elmira couldn't help but laugh at her best friend's question, motioning her hand towards one of the only closed shops among the town stirp before taking a quick glance around their surroundings and heading to the front door. 

As expected, the door was barricaded shut but with one swift flick of her wrist the ice fairy quickly froze the padlock. Narrowing her eyes at how easy it seemed to be to open the door the blonde took a cautious step to the side, awaiting some form of trap to have been triggered. Feeling a shift in the air the ice fairy grabbed ahold of her best friend - pulling the redhead down to the ground as the pair ducked for cover. 

Swooping over their heads was a series of blades, hurdling straight for them had they not moved in time. A sharp pain shot through the blonde's body as she took in a deep breath, earning a curious look from the redhead. "This guy is supposed to be some all-powerful blood witch and yet all he managed to do was trigger some blades. Bit lame." The air fairy spoke, stepping into the shop without a second thought. 

Elmira took a deep breath in, pushing herself off of the ground with her right hand - her left seemingly still impacted by her use of powers. With a cautious glance around she stepped through the front door, closing it behind her in an attempt to divert any potential unwanted company. 

"What is this place? Some kind of electronics store?". The blonde spoke softly, her eyes glancing around the room as she began to look for any potential hidden doors or devices. "What an interesting choice." Beatrix voiced, her own eyes narrowing as she watched the static flow between the television sets upon a desk towards the back of the room. "That's... unusual." Walking towards the back of the room the former fairy lifted her hand carefully, a sharp zap flowing through her body as she did so. 

"Bea... What was that?". The blonde girl questioned, rushing towards her best friend who was now laughing in slight disbelief at the sensation of electricity flowing through her body once again. "It's a force field, a mixture of electricity and science. She's beautiful..." The redhead spoke, a wide smile on her face having missed the feeling more than she had admitted to herself. "Isn't she just?".

 The voice of Sebastian pulled the best friend's out of their thoughts - Elmira protectively stepping in front of Beatrix as the Blood Witch revealed himself from the back room. "What do you want Sebastian?". The redhead questioned, a hint of curiosity in her voice rather than defense, moving to the side so she could see the man properly. "You're in my shop, the better question is what do you want?". 

The ice fairy hesitated; a slither of doubt entered her system as she mentally skimmed between her options. She knew there was three choices here, three options that would lead her down vastly different paths, three chances to do what was right. With a quick glance to her best friend the blonde found herself stepping forward slightly. "I think it's time we made a deal."
