Charms held the rope in her hands and gulped, "Do you think this'll work?" she asked.

Cameron shrugged, "I'm honestly hoping so."

Charms looked up to Cameron, where ever he went he brought a selected amount of books. This particular one of his books was deliberately with him wherever he went anywhere because it contained explosives in it. Their plan was to lure the demons to the under construction building and then collapse it on top of them with the explosives taking down the structure beams.

Charms started climbing the rope to get to Cameron, "Have you called on those bombs a little early?" she asked.

As a Silver tongue things came to life for Cameron, but it was temporary. The explosives would disappear soon if they weren't used, and Charms didn't want to lure several demons to them and then have their explosives go AWOL.

While demons appeared to prefer dead bodies they were more than happy to kill living bodies to take them over.

Charms held herself in place in front of Cameron, who knows how far away from the ground as he set up the bombs, strapping them to the side beams of the building. "Depends on how long it takes to get this underway," he informed as he finished tying one bomb to the beam. "I'll set the timers when we're closer to actually blowing stuff up," he stated as he stood up and went to go attach another one.

Charms took in a deep breath, "How are we going to get them to come?" she asked.

"You can give off the presence of death can't you?" Cameron asked.

Charms pressed her lips together, she wouldn't call it that. She could gain the state of mind and calmness to slow down her heart beat and appear to be lifeless and so gave off the existence of death. If she opens her Traveller badge than she can enhance the scent of dying on her. It was a meditation trick that required the person to be calm and relaxed.

Charms pondered whether she capable of doing that.

"Won't they sense you?" Charms asked.

"This was partly your idea, Charms. We don't have to do this, we can find another way to distract demons," Cameron informed as he read aloud.

Charms shook her head, "No. It's fine... how much longer?"

Something exploded in front of Cameron, making him yelp in fright and jump back, soot on his face. "When I don't do that again..." he said rather absently, rewarding him with a smirk from Charms as she tossed her archery equipment behind Cameron and slid back down the rope to the bottom floor.

Demons roamed the street, mainly in search of something to devour.

But many froze when something was suddenly available. That could smell it, someone pondering death. While their Master continued to fly through the sky, constantly exploding upon impact with her opposite, the demons went to search for whatever gave off the aroma.

They eventually found it, and one demon wasn't alone. Many demons came, came by the dozens, some in the forms of broken bodies while other came as standby beings. Either way, their eyes were on a body that hung about a meter from the ground by a rope around their neck. It must've been recent because she was still swaying where she was and her skin was a light pale.

She was beautiful, many agreed on some level, and many wanted her empty being. But they did they precautions, many were semi confused as to why a beautiful girl like her was in a part of Delco City that nearly nobody was in.

They eventually surrounded her, and one became daring enough to come up to her and poked her. Charms swayed again, but her body remained limp.

The demon in front of her let off a small smile as it went to take her, but there was a sudden loud crash and explosion. Something fell from above and crushed three of the physical demons, and soon something crashed in the doorway, blocking it from escape.
