Darkness Passing

Qui Audet Adipiscitur - Who dares, wins

Quickly Ella picked the lock to the local morgue, given it was 11:30 pm no one was there to notice, the building was old and as such the security system was easily over loaded. Her watch Darius remained watchful should anyone venture close. Smiling when the lock clicked open the two ventured into the darkness.

Flicking on the harsh lights, and the door closing the scent of embalming fluid hit them. "Right let's go" with a crooked grin Darius led the way to being their little play against God. Ella followed by closely as the slowly came upon the freezer they were looking for. There had been a terriable bus accident 3 days prior and Ella and Darius just so happened to be a Blood witch and voodoo practitioners respectively, and they were going to see if they could cheat god and bring someone back to life without the help of a necromancer. Would the fellow members of the coven be happy about this? Not likely but that's not important. Quickly they found that the job ahead of them would be a bit more difficult than they first thought.

Ella grimaced as she took in the limbs that weren't attached to their respective bodies, bruised, cut, and slightly bloated. The skin was already too tight expressions of fear already frozen on their face unable to express the assumed peaceful death. The smell was worse, and made their eyes water form it's stregenth. Darius seemed otherwise unbothered by the visuals bit rather took them in with a hum before announcing "I call dibs on being Victor Frankenstien. On the even brighter side this will make it a bit easier for us to bind the body to us." With a nod Ella moved to prop the door open and get a table to put the body parts on.

Limb by limb they collected enough to build a body and then moved it out to an open area to stitch it up. Searching and finding the required thread to stitch up the body Darius did it the same way you would when making clothes, the stiches on the inside rather than the outside. After placing bandages over the stitches Darius stepped back to let Ella set up the ingredients.
She started with a circle of salt around the body first, in case it came back less than friendly. Then she began adding a collection of herbs and powders to a medium sized bowl, before getting out a knife and making a cut on her wrist and let the blood flow onto the mix. Then got out another blade and gestures for Darius to do the same, and he did so accordingly. Then Ella dipped her fingers into the blood and herb mixture and painted a symbol on the body and placed the rest before the two of them. Cloth in one hand and a match in the other she dropped the match in the mixture and quickly covering it with the cloth, yelping when she felt the flames briefly curl on the cloth. Picking it up she placed it before the male, "breathe in the smoke and exhale it on the body." She instructed as she began the hymn. There was a surprising amount of smoke as Darius took in the brunt of it all and then as told exhaled onto the body as the hymn ended.

Ella quickly placed the bowl I'm the table as it got too hot for her to hold, they glanced at each other the sound of electricity filling the room before all the lights began to flicker wildly and the wind began blowing hard enough that it almost sounded like the roof was going to come off, then one by one the lights exploded, getting closer to them and the body. Darius moved to cover Ella just and the one closest to them exploded, the two now rather unsettled. Slowly getting back up Darius fought against the feeling of dread sitting like a rock in his stomach, glancing at Ella for a moment who looked ready to bolt.
He noticed that smoke seemed to roll off the body and the smell of smoke and sulfur filled the room, yet no alarms went off. They glanced at each other "it's alive?" Darius said dramaticly though it was also partly a question, he sent her a questioning glance. "Don't run off now, this is the fun part." He said in attempt to lighten the tense mood, only to get the middle finger from the witch in reply. He rolled his eyes as he leaned closer to look at the body only to fall over when it jolted.
"This is the fun part right?" Ella mocked with a slight smile, the body's eyes opened slowly as if thawing, reversing the stiffness of death. Then it moved to sit upwards also stiffly just like it were the bad guy out of a slasher movie. Ella gasped as she noticed the shadow of a large pair of wings and a set of horns, before pulling Darius back from his place on the floor.  "Anybody home? A lazy teenager hopefully?' Darius said slowly. In response the head of messy, bloody curls turned to them and spoke back "You called the wrong place for that." Nervous laughter bubbled out of Darius realized a demon stole the body. Cutting the tense silence "he's bound to us either way." Ella stated confidently and she walked up and broke the salt line so the demon could stand on its own.  Getting off the table it inspected them both carefully, Ella fumbled to get the oversized coat from the ground and placed it around the body. "I think I'll call you Sorin." Darius said as if they hadn't accidentally summon a demon, and got a nod in his direction. "Well I suggest we leave now it's almost dawn." Sorin said before begining to walk away albeit stiffly making the other to follow. When they left they noticed it was just starting to become light out, not having much other option they guided Sorin to the car and left back to their house where they would present him to the others.
