The huntress had not realized anything was amiss as she waited for her superiors at the manor. If anything she was annoyed, her sources had assured her the woman who was hosting the seance was a charlatan. A manipulator in it only for the money, that had not been the case…not one bit. Actual witches were allowed to exist mind you, as long as they obeyed the Occult laws that had been put in effect 30 years prior. Meaning they could not summon things from other planes and it was forbidden to participate in any kind of blood sacrifice. This witch had managed both as Talia later found out.<br/><br/>Upon the death of the witch, the protective seals on the basement door had broken and the investigation team stumbled across a freshly killed body in a casting circle. No doubt it was the circle that had fueled her ability to summon without any of the huntresses on-site catching on. Those seals had been A-class casting and no one, aside from the redhead, actually had the authority to mess with them. Next time she would search the premises herself rather than relying on the novices.<br/><br/>Needless to say when the Captain walked in she was not a happy woman. Angry at everyone, even Talia. After all, they had not taken the seance seriously and thus had allowed something that could have been catastrophic. Thankfully everyone seemed to have escaped possession so it did stop at a lecture rather than disciplinary action. Once everything had been processed only then was she allowed to return to her apartment to get some sleep.<br/><br/>“Fucking Novices,” she muttered as she stripped out of her uniform and took a quick shower. “All they needed to do was tell me about the wards on the basement and we would’ve pulled the plug.” Even if the woman hadn’t been a witch and had instead hired one to do the wards the seance would not have happened. It wasn’t uncommon for the darker ones to leave little traps in their spell work. Once she was clean she changed into an oversized shirt and a pair of underwear before crawling into bed. She was off duty tomorrow night, so she’d finally be able to sleep in.
