Aris let out a gasp for air as she felt the grip around her neck loosen. She fell to the ground, breathing heavily, looking back at the quarrel with shock. Claude raise is sword, aiming to strike the angel. She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself, when she heard a clang of steel against silver. She looked back up to see Capet over her, blocking the attack. The look on the butler's face was hardly like what he normally looked like; he looked enraged far past the normal human boundaries.<br/><br/>She took no time in getting out of harm's way, and she ran to the side of the demon. Nathaniel still clutched his arm, which was covered in murky black blood. "Nathaniel..." she muttered, looking at the wound with concern. "I told you to stay back...!" He hissed huskily, still watching the battle from over Aris' shoulder. She carefully placed a hand on the wound, Nathaniel held back a yell through gritted teeth.<br/><br/>Suddenly, there was a shout. Aris and Nathaniel both turned to see Capet bury his teeth into Claude's neck. The large man went down with a thud and a crack. Aris turned white with shock. A pool of blood soon formed around Claude's head. Memories soon flashed into Aris' mind. The ebony altar. Her blood being spilled onto it. The flaming claws, reaching towards her. So clear, so vivid.<br/><br/>"What did he try to do?" She quickly snapped back into reality when she heard Ashton and Roy, along with a new face, noticing Claude's limp body. Nathaniel stood up as soon as he noticed the newcomer, much to Aris' dismay, his eyes looked icy blue, like shards of ice as their piercing gaze rested on Silas. Regardless of his injury, he moved quickly, slamming Silas into the wall with his uninjured hand.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="font-weight: bold">Who sent you?!</span></span>he yelled, never ceasing eye contact, even as Aris spoke. "What are you doing?!" she cried. "He's another demon..." he whispered harshly, glaring at Silas harshly.
