______________________

Well, it was not really difficult to track down people who you knew in Athena. And with Kaleen's blood magic and habit of saving a sample of people's blood. Of course she had a sample of JJ's blood, so she had located him, got in her car and been driving for some time till she had gotten close enough to pull her window down and whistled at him before yelling he should get in. Then the rest of the trip towards Alvertona had been radio on and getting to Alvertona where she well lived, but there was always something to do, and who didn't like the city known for death and dark magic? Okay, maybe the city wasn't for everyone, but that also didn't matter. Finally parking and killing the engine, she stepped out of the car. The afternoon sun still strong and she felt it's warmth dance over her skin. She walked up in front of the car and turned towards JJ with a little smirk on her lips, "then come on then. The rituals of the night doesn't wait for us," she waved him with her. Not really having told what she had in score for tonight, just that she wanted him to join her on the fun.

Now she could have asked her brother to join her, or her mother - but her mother was visiting her sister - which usually only meant sweet chaos would unfold soon - and this ritual would gain Kaleen more strength and insight in the matter - well give JJ some too, if that of course was what he wanted.

JJ had been minding his own business, or at least he believed so. Things at Primrose place hadn’t gone as planned and he wouldn’t really say that any conversations with his siblings ever went smoothly. And now he was being picked up by an old friend. For old time fun, of course. As she killed the engine he stepped out of the car, rubbing his face a little to wake a little more up from the trip. “Yeah man, I’m coming,” he mumbled before he turned towards her and skipped a couple of steps up to her. He gave her shoulder a pat, before he let a hand run through his curly hair. “So, what’s in store for tonight, miss?” he was still mumbling a little but things had just been a little over the top lately, simply walking around with her was freeing him a little.

As he let go of her shoulder she took a few steps back, and clapped her hands together, "I am so glad you asked," she exclaimed a bit over excited perhaps, but it was just her hypomanic state of mind. "Come with me and I will show you," Kaleen then spun around on her heels and started heading towards the forest area, where she took out a small pocket knife, and stopped. She let the blade slide over the palm of her hand, so blood could drop onto the ground, just enough for the barrier to open. "Welcome to Wonderland," she chuckled a little bit, well it wasn't that Wonderland, but it was her secret little hideout. She had a manor protected by a barrier spell where only people whom shared her blood could really get through unless invited. And she liked her stuff invisible for curious eyes. Especially in a country like Moonlight Falls where magic was living a breathing, everyone was seeking to become more powerful, especially those who thought otherwise. "Just leave the fun to me darling, you look like someone who is in need of a little high," she pointed out having noticed rather quickly that he looked overtired and worked up. Not that many people often saw Kaleen as an emotionally supportive person, which was their mistake really or no not really, you couldn't blame the audience for believing the actress. She waited for him to step further before she followed and let the barrier back up, heading towards the rather large manor for one person.

He stopped as soon as he heard her clap her hands and turned to look at her as she clapped her hands. She turned towards the forest area, and he was quick to follow once again. He watched how she cut her hand and let a drop of blood drop onto the ground beneath them. Now, JJ had done blood magic, but he actually didn’t use his magical abilities all that much, if he had to say so himself, or maybe he was just a little too lazy for spells.
Welcome to Wonderland.
A wicked smile spread over his lips, he knew very well it wasn’t a portal to Wonderland, it would feel completely different, it didn’t change the excitement to visit her so called wonderland. “Oh, you don’t even know,” he chuckled. JJ might always be in a need of a high, but that might just be because he was used to his days being so chaotic and fast speed, that every time he did something which didn’t fit into that mold, he felt like he was missing something. Excitement. He went through the now open barrier and heard how she closed it back up. His steps were slow for a moment, taking in how everything looked, and when she passed him, his eyes ended up at her, letting his legs follow her. “So, this is your own place?”

Kaleen knew about the Sinclair family drama by now, and oh boy it sounded beyond exhausting. And yet a part of her had even chosen to walk over many years ago to knock on the door to pick JJ up by the door, just for the chance to actually look Rebekah in the eye. The savior of Wonderland, at least according to old sayings and stories.  Now she hadn't really said the whole thing about 'hey my mother married your father and then killed him and took over Wonderland' part to the witch's face. Mostly because her brother had told her not to, and Kaleen at least most of the time always listened to her older brother  - nine out of ten times.

Okay, her mind was spinning out of action, and she pushed it back into the moment as she walked towards the front door. Looking towards him as he asked if it was her own place. "It sure is. Or well my mother and brother does know about it, so I do get visits time to time, my mother likes the fact that she can go undetected by being in here. It's cursed by my blood, which means other magical trackers and tracks in general is untraceable - so you are completely free in here," perks of having been around for so long as Kaleen had, her magic was rather strong. She opened the door for him so he could get in. "How did you feel about blood sacrifices again?" She asked with a little smug pull on her lips. Well, now it wasn't like she went on murder sprees and killed to left and right, her magic just happened to get stronger after a few sacrifices.

“Well done,” he complimented with a few nods while he took in the place from the outside. He didn’t really mind that she used bloodmagic to make sure this place was untraceable and didn’t get uninvited guests. It was almost like his mothers place, except she did things differently, and people could visit, but it wasn’t sure they could enter.
She opened the door for him; such a gentlewoman. “If blood sacrifices are what is needed, it is what is needed,” he said and shrugged. He didn’t mind blood sacrifices, but surely if he didn’t have lose blood to a spell, he would rather do that, of course, it also depended on how strong the magic had to be. There were many factors. “I feel like you’re plotting something, dearest,” he said and scratched his neck a little, looking around inside.

Well everyone who knew Kaleen knew she was a dark fairy and most knew she was an expert when it came to blood magic. Perhaps she had indeed spent too much time with a sudden vampire over the past thousand years. "Aren't I always my love?" she mused a little bit with a light giggle, the walls did have a few symbols crafted with blood to keep uninvited guests from coming in, but well she liked the symbols so it did little to ruin the decor. If anything she found it inspiring. "Come along, I will show you," she almost danced towards the basement door and placed her hand on the symbol painted in the middle of the door, unlocking it. One could say she knew how to be better safe than sorry. Then the door opened and the lights turned on. You could hear the groans from downstairs. "You know how your mother was known back in the days for gaining strength from blood - well there are some truth to it, sadly it sees like most magic users keep neglecting the factor, blood isn't just for the vampires nor the blooddemons," waking further down the hall they got into the bigger room of the basement, where she had a few humans chained up to the wall, while their blood was being tabbed into a big tub in the middle of the room. "Wanna play king for a night?"

JJ chuckled a little as she corrected him and told him that she was always plotting something. “Well, that is true,” he agreed. He followed her without hesitation. Nothing could really go wrong with her, could it? Most often, JJ didn’t think things went wrong, so he believed he was safe. The more he was with her, the more he felt the motivation feed him. Not that she specifically used her powers on him, but she was just such an inspiring person to be with if JJ had to say so himself. He watched how she opened the door and followed her down the hall. He hummed interested as she mentioned that blood wasn’t just for vampires and blooddemons. He himself thought it was a nice tradition that they had kept for some years, but alas things got out of trend, or what one would say. He raised his brows a little impressed as he saw how humans were hanging on the wall. He looked over at her a little excited. “Kaleen, you never have to ask that,” he assured her, “Of course,” he furrowed his brows, feeling like it was the most logical thing in the world, that he would love to be king for a night – or forever who cared. “What do you want me to do?” he wondered with a smug smile.

"Good, because I for sure wasn't going to ask twice," she pointed out with a more cheeky smile and titled her head a little before then again looking towards the display she had set up for him. "Well, I did all the leg work for you - wasn't it your mother who said blood baths would harvest magical elements and let the body and soul absorb it with newfound strength?" Kaleen theorized then looking back shortly at JJ as she stepped closer to the tub filled with blood, Kaleen let her fingers tab lightly on the edge of it. "Why don't you dive in and feel the power consume you, then tell me what you want to do?" Because well if he wanted some power to himself, the first step was not asking her what she wanted him to do - even if kings did only become great with an even greater queen by their side. Her mother's words. "Just let me know when you are ready, then the rituals can begin," she replied with a little smirk, before mumbling a few words to let the candles in the corners of the basement light up with a brighter flame, making one pay more notice to the symbols painted with blood on the walls.

The cheeky smile was smitten onto JJ’s face. Replicated as if it was something he was born to do. “Good,” he mumbled clearly starting to get  more inspired and motivated to follow her way of thinking. He looked towards her as she mentioned bloodbaths and followed her all the way to the tub, she had arranged for him. Now, it wasn’t because he looked specifically pleased or excited, but he was. It had been such a long time since he had taken a blood bath, whereas he knew that some of his siblings, specifically Bentley, took them quite often. Egoistic bastards that didn’t share. Or maybe JJ was just a lazy man who took what he could get. Dive in. He looked towards her with slightly raised brows before he took a step back and started to undress. She didn’t need to say anything else, and he wasn’t the type who was shy about his body. His body always showed a ton of scars and most of them were scars she hadn’t seen before. He had gotten so many in the cult the last couple of years. “Begin when you please,” he said as he threw his clothes on the floor getting more and more undressed. Now, of course he could just use magic to clean his clothing of and just jump in with clothing and all, but it simply just felt so uncomfortable that he would rather go in completely naked. The lights lit up and he stepped into the tub, sat down and slowly leaned back.

Poking.
Electric.
Renewing.
His heart started racing, feeling elevated.
Light and almost floating.

He let himself sink underneath the surface getting completely submerged with the blood and stayed there. He couldn’t be seen from the thick blood in the tub. Except for his knees that he had to angle underneath. JJ knew that to some rituals one might be close to being drowned in blood, or and others you actually died – but only for a minute. No matter what the dear fairy had in mind, he was on it. If she didn’t try to drown him in a form for ritual, he would resurface after a while with closed eyes, waiting for the blood to naturally glide off his face and away from his eyes, even though he knew that it was something different with blood compared to water. He opened his eyes, lashes clumped together, and some of the blood having seeped into his eyes, making his eyes completely bloodshot. One could really look like a massive psychopathic killer after such a bath.

It didn't take much for her from to begin, everything was already set in motion. And of course there was more to the than just having JJ jump in, no she hadn't been in need of putting him in like a sacrifice, no, she needed a little push of his powers and she could blend that in the blood for her own use. Even if she was older than him, their was something different about Wonderland magic than Earth magic, so naturally their magical energies just matched in a different way than with many other people Kaleen met around here. So, she started the ritual a set of latin like words that echoed out in the basement, Kaleen brought up a small knife and cut the inside of her hand, and then used her index finger to draw a symbol with that blood in her hand, letting it all begin. Letting him take in the power the ritual could give him, boost him with a sense of empowerment, a feeling of getting high on the magic. Whilst she as well took a good amount of the power to herself, connecting the strong energies in the room.

Once he got up again and resurfaced she stepped closer towards him, letting her fingers glide over the edge of the tub, "how was it?" She asked with a brighter smile on her lips as she tilted her head a bit to the side. After all the last thing that would scare Kaleen was the sight of blood.

JJ looked towards Kaleen as she wondered how it was. “Fantastic,” he mused with a wide smile. He shortly looked into the bloodbath, letting his hands submerge, cupped some of the blood and washed his face as one would do with water from a faucet. He then let his hands run through his hair with a relieved exhale. “We should do this more often,” he said with closed eyes. He raised his brow a little. His familiar had clearly been sitting somewhere on him as they had traveled around, because of right now, the gigantic snake was crawling up the bathtub and slowly dived into the tub. Now, that only added to the empowered feeling. He leaned back towards the back of the tub, letting Perry take up as much space as he needed. “Are you certain you’re not gaining anything from a bath like this?” he mused and handed his hand to her. “Go on,” he said letting his hand open up for her to invite her to cut it.

Now there was few reasons why a fairy like Kaleen would seek out JJ, 1; he was amazing company and she liked the feeling of no highs were high enough, 2; he was a Sinclair warlock. To have him on her side when the final battle came to play would be ideal for more strength. Kaleen let out a soft giggle once she saw how Perry came up to play in the pool of blood, "oh sweet cheeks," she took his hand and let the golden dagger she had in her other hand make a cut down the palm of his hand. "I always gain something," Kaleen mused a little bit before cutting her hand as well after letting go of his, mumbling a few words letting their blood bind as she once again took his hand. "I might join you," she leaned closer towards him, then pulling back then undressing herself a bit taking off her jacket, dress and shoes, before stepping and walked into the tub, letting the blood paint her skin. She moved closer towards him, letting her blood coated hand trace over his cheekbone, resting her finger underneath his chin.

A grimace formed on his face, only staying for a short while, while a short his left him. Even though he had offered his hand for her to take some of his blood, it still hurt to get one’s hand cut. He looked towards her as she cut her own hand and shortly after took his hand, so their blood mixed. “Oh, I wouldn’t mind some company,” he mused. When she pulled back, he shortly kicked Perry, to tell him to fuck off and make space. Perry after all had a giant form when he was in his form of a snake. In return, Perry bit him. “You fucking wanker!” he groaned and shook his leg a little, only making the bite rip a bit more. The giant snake eventually got enough, thinking it was too much trouble, and changed itself to the small spider again, simply sitting by the edge of the tub. The blood was too thick to splatter that much around, so it had only just splashed over the edge once or twice. Everything seemed to settle as Kaleen had gotten herself undressed and got into the tub. She leaned forward and caressed his cheek. “Blood suits you so wonderfully,” he spoke with a soft voice. With blood on his hands, he let his hands glide over her hair, pulling some of it back.

The snake turned into a spider, making the space better for the other parts, oh well, she didn't mind it. Kaleen chuckled delighted at JJ as he complimented her making her tilt her head a bit to the side, "I know right?" She felt the small shivers run over her spine as his hands was now gliding over her hair, pulling it a bit back. Then she leaned in to kiss him, a short yet passionate kiss from the heat of the moment. It wasn't the first time she had kissed him, she liked the taste of his lips, the feeling of them being able to take over the world if they wanted to. It was empowering, making her feel high. "See, this is way more like it," she whispered against his lips once she pulled a little bit back.

A soft hum left him as she wanted assurance on how blood suited her. She leaned even closer and placed her lips on his. Now, JJ was a sensitive person, but it was always expressed in ways nobody understood, but the soft moan that escaped his lips wouldn’t confuse anyone about how he appreciated and wanted the kiss.
Then she pulled back, but the craving for the desire that she had shown him that short moment spread in him. He almost felt like the baby whose pacifier had been stolen. Therefore, he leaned forward, changing the way he had been sitting, and got very close to her. He let one hand grab onto the edge of the tub, leaving a blood hand stain on the tub. He let the other hand, the one with the cut, find her cheek, and his fingers reached a little behind her neck so he could pull her lips towards his, kissing her passionately, almost beggingly. One could almost hear on his hums how he enjoyed it. The attention that almost matched his own energy. He had trouble letting himself let go of her, but eventually, he did. “You can’t just expect to take something,” he kissed her again, “Without giving something in return,” he gave her yet another almost breathless kiss before he laughed in the back of his throat and leaned back.

Kaleen didn't mind the way he got close towards her, how he kissed her, the energy was consuming her with both passion and danger - just how she liked it. She returned the kiss with the same fiery passion he had, till he managed to pull himself off her, making her almost lean in to catch his lips once again. Kaleen's lips pulled up into a bit more of a smaller smile by his words, then he kissed her again, and she felt the shivers run up and down her spine. "Oh, he is making demands now?" She whispered teasingly against his lips. Kissing her again, he once again returned the kiss, leaving a small unhappy hum as he pulled back, "very well, tell me, what is it you desire?" Kaleen raised her eye brows, lifting herself up so her arms rested on the edge of the blood tub, her eyes didn't flinch from his. "Because we can talk business upstairs over a glass of the finest bourbon - or we can stay here, without a care in the world."

JJ’s smile spread a little as she asked if he was making demands now. He made small demands, but nothing that was easy to complicated.  He appreciated everything she did. The way she smiled when he looked at her, the way she hummed unhappily as he removed himself from her to rest. When she continued to speak, he opened one eyes, correting how he sat a bit, so he could look at her better with both eyes. “You know, even though the bourbon calls for me,” he said with small movements, of his right hand towards the floor above them, “I honestly can hear it right now; Jonathan! Come to me!” he had put his hand towards his ear, to show her how he was listening close. His voice got a little lighter as he mimicked the bourbon’s ‘voice’.  He licked his lips, getting some of the blood in his mouth before he looked back at her, “I would much rather spend a little time here, with you, not giving a fucking damn about the world,” he said and leaned back a little, letting his feet find each of her sides, so the back of his foot rested against her back and her legs would be either between his legs, or by his hips.
