With Stone and Lorelai, they stood outside the warehouse as the cambion angel banged on the door.

"Lizzy! Lizzy we need to talk" she shouted as Stone walked up to a window.

"We know what you did! We can talk about it inside or I can just yell about it out here" he said before the door cranked open.

"Fuckin' right you open that door" he muttered as they walked inside and the door slammed shut.

Lorelai jumped at the sound as she held onto his arm.

"Hello?" She called out into the darkness.

"You have 2 minutes to convince me not to silence you for good" Lizzy's voice echoed as a spotlight turned on above her, revealing her to be on the upper level.

"Lizzy, we're here to enlist your aid in  defense of Ramshackle against the demons. We know a demon fell at your hands and we need to know how" Lorelai informed her.

"No!" She exclaimed.

"What do you mean "No?" Stone asked.

"You have to do better than that to convince me. 90 seconds" she stated.

"With your knowledge, we wouldn't have to helplessly stand by while-" Lorelai was cut off.

"Clearly, I'm not the helpless one here. 80 seconds" Lizzy said as she stood up straight.

"Well, then why? Why wouldn't you use your knowledge to fight?" Stone mumbled.

"To avoid the very problem you and your friends are facing right now. I will not invite destruction into my house, on my people" she explained, glaring at the two.

"You think we asked for this? All Lorelai has ever done is try to make things better to help everyone who, newsflash, include your people too!" Stone explained angrily.

"And how exactly has thst worked out for her? 45 seconds" she asked,  causing Stone to growl at her as his eyes turned red for a moment.

Lorelai's eyes also turned red for a second as she spoke up to stand her ground.

"We didn't pick this fight, but it's here now. And they're not going to stop with us. With us out of the way, it'll only be a matter of time before they come for you. They won't stop until all of Ramshackle is wiped out. So you can help take a stand here together, or stand alone tomorrow. And what do you think your chance be then?" Lorelai questioned her.

"Your out of time" Lizzy said before she jumped down and kicked Lorelai in the face, causing her to slid across the floor.

"Demons attack quickly, viciously, and without mercy. You'll need to defend better then that."

Lorelai looked over at Stone and smiled brightly. Now they were getting somewhere.
