The enigma of the Inquisition is at home in bed, finally catching up on the rest his body has been longing for the last few days. This has been the longest night of his life and he has fallen into a deep slumber. Poe's dreams are flooded by his memories of the years prior, at first it is all flashes of the bloodsacks he sent to the Dread father and the void. He sees each face one per second seemingly, rapidily firing all the way until he gets to the person who changed his life forever. That memory is still so fresh that even the way her hair smelled is there.
"Claire..."
It has been ten years, but he still has not forgiven himself for not being there when she needed him the most. Poe's memories of his lost love flash through his mind up to the first time they made love. Each on had been the first for the other and that one memory plays from the beginning as the then twenty-four ungodly put together blonde sits on his lap.
"I don't want to die a virgin Jeremiah."
"You're not going to die Claire... Not as long as I..."
Claire presses her lips to his deeply and much to Poe's suprise he returns it with as much care as he can muster. Her lips trail down his neck as his fingers travel down her back.
"What are we doing?"
Claire grind against him, feeling him swell in response.
"What comes naturally.."
The passion and heat between the two increases quickly.
"Please..."
Furhter and further the passion overtakes them. Everything begins to flash again until the first time the pair admitted their feelings for each other. They lay together in the hotel bed, Poe's arms are wrapped around Claire's waist tenderly.
"I love you..."
He smiles into her neck, he has never known happiness before, until this very moment he never known anything. Poe's life has always been numbness and shadows.
"Say it again."
"I love you."
"And I you."
The joy fades to darkness as the scent of blood fills his nostrils. Poe's vision clears as he find himself kneeling before the mangled remnants of his son and daughter. They have been completely ripped apart.
"NO!"
His scream a mixture of pain and anger as his eyes fall upon his children once again. The only signs of what happened are the state of the bodies, the strange tuffs of hair everywhere, and the heavy breathing he is hearing behind him. What happens next is a blur all he remembers is the sound of the attack and himself standing over the body of a monsterous creature as others like it run through the trees around their cabin.
"Claire.. Claire! CLAIRE!"
Suddenly the shuffle of bare feet grabs his attention and he hears a slightly familiar voice.
"Hello... Jeremiah... I see my pets gave you no problems."
The shell of his love winks.
"What have you done to them?"
"Nothing that can't be undone... As long as you give me what I want."
"Which is?"
Poe's eyes look for something else he can use as a weapon.
"You might as well give up the search... You have nothing here that will help you."
The spirit inside Claire clicks repeatedly.
"What do you want?"
It is at this time he notices that 'Claire' is not wearing her silver crucifix around her neck as she alway has. The mental note leads to him knowing where to find it automatically.
"I want submission... I want chaos... I want the end of this pathetic existance of your's."
"Well those are interesting desires... Now I got one for you..."
The former assassin backs toward the door.
"Heh heh heh... What is that?"
He reaches out of view and wraps his hands around the crucifix.
"Let Claire have the peace she deserves."
"Heh heh heh... No."
"Then go to Hell."
"Not without you Lover."
In a split moment all Poe sees is himself driver the silver crucifix into the heart of the woman he loves and at that moment he awakens. Tears stream down his face as his phone rings and Poe answers as he wipes his eyes.
"Sithis watch over you."
A sniffle comes out before he can stop it.
"Yeah I'm fine..."
Poe wipes grabs a tissue and blows his nose.
"Yeah a little under the weather... I'll be fine... Yeah... I'll be there in a short... See you there."
He hangs up the phone and prepares to leave.
OOC: If anyone wants to pick this up from where I left off feel free... If you want to play off this somewhere else PM me

Shadow walks up to the door he believes to be that of Poe. He knocks on it, a sly grin over his face.
"POE! POE! POE! POE! POE! POE! POE! POE!"
The annoying, repetitive call makes the grin on the Mercenary's face.
"You there? POE! Hello? You there?"

Poe's door opens and he steps out into the hall, dressed in a black button up shirt, black jeans, cowboy boots, and a trench coat. He is about to put on his Stetson when he notices someone screaming his name a few doors down he looks over and quickly, but silently closes his door. The Merc with a Mouth is blissfully unaware of his presence as he continues to yell over and over again. The enigma of the Inquisition goes to the fire escape and slowly opens it before slamming it shut.
"Your stealth knows no bounds Brother."
Poe places his Stetson on his head to cover the upper portion his face.
"What are you doing here? And why are you dressed like Ricky Martin?"

" I can be stealthy if I want to!" " I mean, look at you. Very slyly trying to sneak out of another woman's apartment without letting me know. What will Mason have to say about you cheating on her?" An group of old women in the room Shadow was at start beating Shadow akin to this. Shadow tries to duck and cover as he takes this beating. (Shadow: I fucking hate you for this.) " OW!" " OW!" " OW!" " OW!" After a few moments the women retreat into the room, leaving Shadow twitching on the ground in pain. " OW! Dammit that hurt. WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP! YOU'RE WEARING A COWBOY HAT! I NEEDED A HERO!" OOC: Just to let people know, whenever I put (Shadow: ) in a post, it's Shadow talking directly to me as he is self-aware of being in an online world.

Poe watches the attack trying not to show that it is amusing for him. He tips his hat to the retreating women and finally turns his attention back to the battered former assassin.
"Brother I know not of what you speak, but I will say this. You weren't even knocking on my door obviously... And as far as you comment about Mason and I..."
The enigma of the Inquisition lets out a slow exhale before walking over to a wall and pulls down a metallic ruler.
"Shall we discuss your infatuation with Sister Bloom?"
The Brotherhood assassin gives him one shot in the forehead with the object before replacing it where he found it.
"Now I was preparing to go look into something... Will you for Sithis sake tell me why you are here? Or do I need to call the one who has your leash?"

"Did he just hit me?!"
"Yes. And he did it with a long stick. He must be compensating."
Shadow looks up to Poe, rubbing his forehead as he stands to his feet.
"There is a pill if you're feeling a little small there, Poe."
"What kind of Inquisition member are you that a group of old women hit harder than you? No wonder Mason has been avoiding you."
"Would you quit making fun of him for a minute? I'd really rather not get shot, thank you."
"We're in more danger from Elmer Fudd than we are Poe. He can't even aim his joystick to save his life."
"That's true."
Hattori takes a moment to straighten himself out as he pulls a mirror out of seemingly no where to check himself.
"HAHA! Lookin' good!!"
"No wonder the Inquisition loves us so much. We make a pretty good face. Plus, the women love us!"
"Damn right. And to answer you're question, Poe ol' pal. We just wanted to know if-"
"You had made any progress with Mason."
"Oh shut up. He won't make it anywhere with her as long as he lives in this dump with some rather violent old ladies next door. We thought we'd come say hi. Thought you missed me so, I decided to drop by."
Shadow walks up and wraps his arm around Poe's neck, pulling the stetson off the darker Inquisition member's head and putting it on his.
"YIPPIE KAI YAY! HOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"
"RIDE ALONG LITTLE DOGGY!"

The enigma of the Inquisition gives his brother an unreadable look and takes his Stetson back, replacing it on his head.
"As I said I have work to do... You know what that is don't you."
The reception Shadow is receiving is not due to any personal animosity or anything like that, but solely due to what Poe has seen before waking up.
"And as far as your comments about Mason... I think I'd worry more about my own... Relationships IF you can call what is going on between yourself and Bloom a relationship."
The living legend to most of the new recruits lets out the breath collected in his lungs as he does a final readiness check. Two Caniks, two daggers, and a sword hidden within each pant leg, all skilled hunter needs. He runs his fingers through his growing scruff and shakes his head.
"I got some info about the possible shifter from a few nights ago... If you can keep a low profile... I guess since you're here you can tag along."
He opens the door to the fire escape before turning back to his counter-part.
"Just don't make me or the Inquisition look bad Brother... Remember to act your age and not your IQ. And if you decide not to come with me... Good Hunting..."

"Coming from the one who couldn't kill his last target for the Brotherhood, that's rich."
"That's right. We had to get even worse treatment because of the infamous Poe, who couldn't kill a simple target. A cowards way out."
"So before you start instructing someone to act their age."
"You don't have a past that says you act with your heart."
Shadow takes a moment and runs into a nearby bathroom. He changes into his ninja gear, and checks his swords. The rarely serious Ninja for Hire pushes past Poe.
"Now we have some work to do, don't we?"
"Maybe we'll find some boobies!"

The enigma of the Inquisition grabs his normally fun loving counter-part and slams him into the nearest wall, holding his fore-arm against his throat. The is no remorse in his eyes as he holds the smaller ninja in position.
"Don't blame me for what happened to you.... It's not like I planned on what happened..."
Poe continues to hold Shadow his arm shaking from the rage he is feeling. He puts a little more pressure on the Merc with a Mouth's throat.
"You don't know the whole fucking story... Not that I think it would matter, but just listen and keep your mouth shut."
He pulls out a picture from the recesses of his coat and holds it in front of his face.
"The ONLY reason she was even a bloodsack to begin with was because her thief of a father didn't anyone finding out that he was stealing from his city's revenue... Look at her... She was guilty of nothing, but being in the wrong place at the wrong time..."
Poe holds the picture in front of Hattori's eyes for a moment.
"You NEVER questioned WHY a bloodsack was chosen? I know I NEVER did until that day... And if I could I would go back because I am sure her death by me would have been A LOT more peaceful than what she went through..."
He loosens his grip a little.
"When the shifters came... I was working what the mundanes would consider a nine to five job... I found our children first... Gutted, partially eaten... And then IT came from our room..."
Part of the mystery of this now hunter falls into place, but it is only part of the puzzle.
"I want you to imagine something... Having to take a silver crucifix and drive it into Blooms heart... Think you could live with that?"

Shadow looks slightly stunned at the sudden attack from Poe. As the enigma of the Inquisition questions him, a sly grin crosses the ninjas face. All sense of the goofy knucklehead has disappeared as a cold hearted killer stares into the eyes of his Brother.
"This is where you and I differ. I see her, and all I see is a target who should have been killed long ago if it wasn't for a coward being sent on the mission."
Shadow glares into the eyes of Poe, unflinching despite his precarious position.
"Just think, Poe. If you hadn't of spared her. If you had done your job, you would have spared her life in the end. But you didn't. You were selfish. You paid for that."
Shadow takes a moment to ponder about Poe's hypothetical situation. Would he kill Bloom if he was ordered to? For Shadow, the answer was simple.
"Yes. I would. If the Inquisition or our very own Brotherhood ever asked me to kill her, and paid me to do it, I'd hand them her head on a silver platter. The fact I can so easily kill may explain why my mind fractured."
"And now the world has TWO of us to play with. HAHAHA!"

'He is cracked,' thinks the mysterious one, 'worse than I ever thought possible.' Poe slowly releases Shadow going from almost a pure rage back to his normal emotionless demeanor. He stares at his companion again for a moment letting the conversation replay in his mind.
"As much as I hate to admit it... You're right... A momentary gun jam so to speak and it cost me EVERYTHING... Why do you think I went from hunting humans for the Brotherhood to hunting monsters for the Inquisition? You're right on that aspect too, but it easier to not think of that side of it... How many families have I caused to suffer... But it is easier simply due to the fact that most of the son of a bitches we kill already slaughtered them."
The enigma of the Inquisition lets out a slow breath before letting himself continue with the conversation.
"You see Brother... Work is the only thing I have left..."
Poe turns toward the fire escape and prepares to crawl through it before turning back to Shadow.
"You coming or not?"

"All work and no play."
"Makes Poe a very dull boy."
Shadow crawls out the window with Poe, slapping his ass on the way out.
"Where we off to, sexy?"
"I can't believe you just said that... Boy have we have been away from Megan too long."
"HA! You're just upset I beat you to it."
