Who Killed Sheila Go?

It started with a quiet evening, where nine individuals were given dinner invites from one Mrs. Hera Zephyr. The instructions were for them to meet at the Zephyr home promptly at 6:00 pm, for a nice dinner, and then a nice conversation by the fire. The first to show up to Hera’s home was none other than Arawn Prydain, prompt if it killed him. He didn’t have his wife or his typical sidekick, all he had was himself and a bouquet of flowers for the hostess. Just a few steps behind Arawn was Sheila Go, who had no reason to expect an invitation at a wealthy woman’s place, but had no qualms about casing the place and maybe finding a way to take something that would benefit her further down the line. Jacques and Kuzco arrived at around the same time, stared at each other, and Kuzco turned up his nose a bit at the state of Jacques’ worn suit.

Iridessa fidgeted behind them in a cute yellow sundress, covered only by a dark leather jacket and shivering as she made her way to the door after the two men. Rhiannon practically glided over behind her, looking very much like the queen she once was. She had in tow an incredibly uncomfortable Blaine Gray, chatting away about how the two of them should really catch up. Blaine recoiled and slunk into the Zephyr home hoping for a seat that was far enough away from Rhiannon for him to get a breather. And then to his, and most of the attendees’ horror, Gaston filed in after her, a smug smile on his face because of course he was invited to such an event. Maximus was the tail end of the gathering, looking very much the reluctant guest, but not one to turn down a request from the woman who had done so much to support the police department.

They each sat in their assigned places, Hera at the head of the table with Maximus to her left, and Iridessa to her right. The guests were spread out suitably, and the first tray of soup had only just started wrapping up when Sheila got to her feet, declaring that she needed to use the restroom. Shortly after the woman left there was the first power surge where the lights started to flicker, and then…there came several sounds all at once. First there was a scream. And in short time after, two gunshots went off mixed with the sound of a loud crash, as if something had shattered, and another flicker of the lights.

Finally Jacques said he was going to go out and look to see what was going on. The group darted out to discover the body of Shego lying in the middle of the hallway. “Oh my god!” Hera and Iridessa exclaimed in shock. “Oh…oh god I…” Jacques stumbled over and threw up just a few steps away from the body. Rhiannon leaned over to study the body. “An interesting method…” she commented, shrugging as she got angry looks for the comment. “Come on…you can’t tell me you’re not at least a little intrigued by how this was done.” She took note of Mr. Gray’s knuckles, Kuzco couldn’t help but look suspiciously at Jacques’ poorly polished shoes. Iridessa was unsettled by the pleased way in which Rhiannon studied what was going on. Gaston personally didn’t like how nervous Iridessa was, but he was ready to pin the blame on anyone except himself of course. Arawn had been eerily silent throughout dinner. Perhaps he was the one. “Well…I have a guess,” a voice spoke out from the group, pointing to the body, ready to divulge the details over how the murder was done.

Ending One:

Being shut in a house full of ingrates had made Arawn stir crazy. So many of them were so talkative that it made him almost wish that he could kill himself. But no, he had far too much he wanted to do before that happened. The evening was passing in what some might consider a peaceful manner. To him it was far too dull, too mundane. It started to get interesting when the magic users demonstrated their own abilities. The fairy was…cute, he supposed, but hardly useful for his own gains. The healer certainly had abilities he would love to seek, but then the question would be…would the boy’s body heal faster than Arawn’s spell could try to draw the power from him? It was too much of a risk to just throw out there without another thought. There was a shifter who could turn into a horse, but he had no interest in that. It was powerful but only in that form.

Arawn had no desire to become a horse. The last one to show her power though, Shego had something that he could gain without losing all of his own magic abilities as becoming a vampire would. So it didn’t take much of a thought for him to follow when he noticed that Shego was stepping out to go to the restroom. He locked the door behind them so that the others wouldn’t be able to be too quick about following them out when he conducted his spell. Shego was moments away from the door to the restroom when he struck, a hand held up as a smoky substance came forth and started stuffing itself down her throat. The woman managed a strangled scream before his magic took over more, spreading down her throat. He held off on her nose, needing to keep her alive for just that moment longer while he used his other spell to draw the magic out of her body.

It took him longer than he would have preferred, but in the end he managed to feel the strength, the fantastic power that seemed to come from her magic, and a smile spread across his face as one of his hands glowed green. Without any further ado, he let his magic seep into her nose and lungs, sufficiently suffocating her. It didn’t take long before he saw the life leave her eyes, and her body collapsed to the ground. Not wanting to raise suspicion, Arawn knocked over a bust and let it shatter. He jumped when he heard two gunshots go off, cursing as he assumed the hunter had gone out front to show off or something horrendous like that. Either way, he needed to move from his location. He drifted over to the other door that led to the dining room, knowing that one was unlocked, and making his way inside casually. “Hi, sorry what did I miss?” He questioned those that were still in the room, slipping into his seat twisting his hand slightly to let the lights flicker.

Finally one of the good ones, Jack or Jacques or Jock or something said he was going to go out and look to see what was going on. Arawn was one of the last to follow out and discover the body. “Oh my god!” Hera and Iridessa exclaimed in shock. “Oh…oh god I…” Jacques stumbled over and threw up just a few steps away from the body. Rhiannon leaned over to study the body. “An interesting method…” she commented, shrugging as she got angry looks for the comment. “Come on…you can’t tell me you’re not at least a little intrigued by how this was done.”

It was surprising really, but the first to point their finger at Arawn was the little fairy. “It was him. He did it. He had to. Look at her body. It looks as if it’s untouched, but she’s dead. Sure, you could say a bust was smashed here, but her head doesn’t look scraped up enough for that to be the cause of death.” The others started to see that she had made a good point. “And the gunshots?” Blaine questioned, even as Jacques bent down to press his hands to her chest, as if he could find a way to get her breathing again. Gaston startled the group with a laugh. “I’m sorry, that was me. I thought I saw a deer behind Mrs. Zephyr’s lovely home and I wanted to get a shot at it. Blasted thing escaped, but there you have it.” Hera’s eyebrows furrowed. “And your fists, Mr. Gray?” Blaine startled for a moment. “Oh I got frustrated sharing a room with my kidnappers.” He gestured in the direction of Rhiannon and Gaston. “Needed to take it out on a wall or something that wouldn’t get me back.”

Arawn took their discussions as his cue to start to leave, stepping away from them. “Well, I think it’s well established that none of you actually have the strength to stop me, so I will be on my way.” The vampire attempted to come after him, but he used his magic to push her back as he raced out of the house with a wide smile on his face. Oh yes, more power like this. He wanted all the power. The more he gained, the more he would be able to rise above the others and create the army that he really desired to take over the entire world.
