Lich levitated up, brushing off Jason with the similar ease as before. He turned to face the gun and with his bony teeth bit the barrel. "Do your worst. Over 3,000 years have not marred this body of mine. I have fought wars with the devil himself, and scrimmaged against God on countless occasions. If you honestly believe a piece of led will end me, you are sadly misinformed." Before Jason could react, Lich crunched through the hard steel to prove that no item on this earth could harm him. He sighed and looked at Jason, "however, I did pledge loyalty when you solved my riddle. Come I have something to show you." Lich turned to walk to the podium that supported the gargantuan sized book.
i'm sorry, i wasnt clear enough, jason was using the gun like a club, which is what i meant by, "he brought up his g3 and slammed it into the side of lich's head" because even if he could , he wouldnt kill lich. too valuable. :-P ))
Infernus shook his head and looked around, noticing that he was back at the hospital "that bastard! where the Hell is he?" he looked at Steph and smiled "looks like i failed yet again...i promise, to myself, that i will not fail the next time i'm asked to do something." he punched the wall, feeling come out the otherside.
Tammi sighed and looked over at Infernus. "Please dont ruin my hospital. Thank you." Kiki opened her eyes and wearily pushed herself to her feet. "Ouch... Oh god that was rough." Steph put her hands to her eyes and shook her head. "My baby.... Oh god my baby..." Kiki bowed her head and sat down. "I'm sorry... I cant go after them.. I dont know where they are. Your child has stopped crying."
She sneered and jumped to her feet, taking a step towards him. She would have gone all the way over to him but Tammi had grabbed the back of her dress. "You stupid Bastard dont you get it?! How can you get the child back if you dont even know where they are and no I'm not letting you play by your rules. If you have a problem with that then please dont hesitate to tell me."
Infernus looked at Tammi "let her go...she can't do any harm to me and she knows it." then he looked Kiki in the eyes "yes i have a problem. if you would have let me kill those bastards back there we would have been back with a baby in my hands, safe and also back in her father and mother's hands. but i had to stay under control for your plans to amazingly fail yet once again."
Infernus laugehd his wicked laugh "too strong for you? thats not saying much. and it was never your forsaken love's fault, it was yours. always yours and will always be yours. you just tend to think it's his fault." he chuckled quietly and shook his head, running his claws against the windows, making them screech. "maybe i should let him back to this world...i'm sure he misses somebody around here."
gonna stop here so everyone can keep up.))
Kiki sighed heavily and walked along the streets, deep in thought. She had failed yet again.... Yet again? When had she failed before? She rubbed her eyes and continued on her gloomy walk.
Steph Held Benjii close and closed her eyes. "Shhhh... My love it's ok. Have hope in the mortal man. He'll bring her back."

Lich pointed towards the book, "This is my family lineage. All 54,278 pages worth of names birth dates, death days, grave sites, habitations, locations, etc. Look through this book I have one more task at hand." He disappeared from Jason's side and reappeared in one of the many rooms this one of which was holding the sleeping child.
Standing at the foot of the crib and he bowed his head and stretched his hand out towards the baby. With a gasp of air he pulled his hand back. And to much of his surprise his hand was of flesh. He touched his face and no longer felt the cold insensitivity of bone, but rather the warmth and softness of human skin. His eyes began to tear up and he smiled in complete bliss as the salt water soaked his lips. He walked over to the side of the bed and collapsed clapping his hands silently next to the sleeping baby. His face sank into his arms and with all his might he focused on communicating to Steph.

A transparent form of Lich waved into materialization before Steph. It wasn't Lich himself, but a mirror image of him. The only thing about this Lich was that it was different. His body was flesh. An elegant and handsome vampire stood before them. Short brown hair, blue eyes, and peach skin. He was smiling showing a row of serrated teeth that neither intimidated nor struck fear into those who looked at them. It was sincere and so he began.
"The amount of remorse that I feel at this point is beyond the conveyance of words. That if I could have done this any other way, by my word as your great uncle I would have. Yes it is true," he turned to Benjii, "we are related. For some other time I will be more then happy to show you the great family tree of which you are a part of. But right now I must say that a great darkness has begun to grow once more. Where it has originated I do not know, but it has found the interest of your daughter, and what it is even I am having difficult fending off. How much less would you have been able to accomplish?" The question carried an air of criticism to Benjii without insomuch accusing him of jumping head first.
"However I am sympathetic towards you Steph and I can promise as long as my strength stands firm you may see your child. But it is see in every sense of the word. You can not hold it, touch it, speak to it or feed it. I will only be able to connect your minds and you will be able to bond in this sense. With this connection you will be able to put yourself and the child at ease. For that connection existed while it dwelt within you, and for the time being it will exist once more." By now the image had fully materialized to show a full vampire in all of his majesty. "Would you like to make it so?"
Steph bit her lip, holding back new tears, and nodded. "Yes... I would like to have a connection once more with her.. But why can't I hold her? I want to be with my daughter, why must you keep me from her?" She glanced down at Benjii, trying hard to hold him down, then looked back up into Lich's eyes.

Lich sighed trying to express the already present danger in offering her this ability in the first place, "You must understand, the evil that wills for your daughter is far beyond anything I have seen. For you to be able to hold this child threatens both you and her. In the connection your mind takes control. You will feel as though you are touching her, holding her, speaking to her, and listening to her cries. But this is only because your mind perceives these things on account of the connection, not by any physical perception." Lich walked over to the opposite side of the bed from where Benjii was and knelt down looking at Steph.
"Believe me when I say this will all be over soon. All I ask for you is patience," he set his transparent hand over hers, "trust, and solitude," he shot stern glare at Benjii. "I can not promise as quick and effective results if I do not have the undisturbed isolation that I need. Can I get this promise from you? To leave me and your daughter be until I at least determine what is threatening her?"
Steph was quiet for a moment. This wasn't only her decision, but if she were to let Benjii decide things might not go very smoothly. She looked down at his hand in deep thought as she nibbled on her lip. Eventually she sighed and looked back up into his eyes. "Very well... I leave her in your care. I trust you, even though Benjii might not. But if anything happens to her, I will never forgive you." She gently put her hand over Benjii's mouth to keep him quiet. She was struggling enough as it was to hold him still. "Please... Tell me where you are hiding her."

He looked away, he could not bear to tell her that the location of her child were to remain a mystery. The pain of having to take a newborn child away from its mother was already an onerous guilt, to tell her he must conceal the location is utterly baffling. Instead of answering directly, he smiled gently and placed his palm up against her left temple, "how about we see the child?" With that he closed his eyes and made blank her mind.
The room steph found herself standing in was pitch black. Suddenly a rush of blurred images and colors swarmed her and rested in perfect harmony around her. The image slowed down and focused to reveal a beautifully ornate master bedroom with pictures of very prestige men and women adorning the wall. The dark cherry floor complimented much of the stone architecture and decorations that defined this very appealing room. Ahead of Steph was a very large bed with crimson curtains pulled back to reveal a sleeping baby. The baby was wrapped tightly in white sheets and aside her stood the tall, white, and emotionless Lich. He did not move to greet her, or did his jaw make any movement when he spoke to her.
"Although this image is not yours, this place is. I have placed within your head the room I am standing in with your daughter. Everything you see in regards to your interactions with your surrounding environments are the products of your mind. You may move and do as you please."
