"Shut up."

Benjamin spoke his words shortly after Sanosuke finished his greeting. He managed to glare at him with his coal black eyes, though he kept his facial expression from showing any emotion. He remained calm and composed, but his rage built up within him; he never did give into his anger, and he intended not to. He could win this battle through logic and strategic planning, and if it had to be taken to more extreme levels of combat, his sword and his necromancy were always at his side, waiting to be utilized.

Ben tried to enter the son of Apollo's mind through a simple glance, and he was capable of recognizing the fact that this demigod was indeed unpredictable and a difficult figure to decipher. Even his evil grin set off a few alarms, but then again, that could be a part of a plot that he was mapping out in his head. Perhaps he wanted Ben to break out of his shell and release every ounce of hate on him, which would then lead to his own demise. A well thought out plan it would be, but hard to enforce on Ben.

The son of Thanatos wasn't fazed by this, however. He knew that with all of his brain power, he could devise a plan that could bring Sanosuke down and free Eliza of her burdensome curse. He had to reach this objective, no matter what the cost: obtaining the curse mark himself, or loosing his existence which he always strived to keep alive.

"Tell me the cure," he demanded, clenching his fists together hard enough for his knuckles to turn white. "You can't control her like this anymore. I won't let you."

Whether that was an act of bravery or foolishness, Ben was unsure, but he prepared for the worse. Mentally, he said his good-byes to all those that were close to him: his family, Leroy, Eliza, Essie...

Essie was going to kill him in the underworld, if that was possible. He wasn't sure whether it would be right to die, and leave her here all alone. She even said she needed him.

I'm sorry, but I have to do this.

"Hand it over--the recipe, potion, whatever. Just give it to me now."

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:32 pm

Sanosuke
I smirked and rolled my eyes at the boy. I wasn't intimidated by him as much as I should have but I could make Eliza kill him with a snap of my fingers. I wasn't worried. I lifted up my hands in mock defeat.
" Fiesty aren't you?"I walked forward so I was just out of arms distance from him. I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at him. I looked over at Eliza, allowing my face to soften slightly. I may have pushed her too far sometimes but she was valuable to me. She glared at me but I could see the slightest hint of fear in her eyes. I smirked and turned back to Ben.
" So you wan't me to simply release a valuable weapon just because you say so? I can respect your bravery but your lack of sense amazes me."I said bluntly. I shook my head and chuckled. Cure? He sounded like Eliza when she first got the curse. So willing to do whatever it took to free herself.
" And either way there is no cure. It's not a disease and I'm sure Eli's told you that much." I said, looking at Eliza and smirking.

Eliza
I bit down on my bottom lip trying to hold back everything I wanted to scream at him and call him unprintable names. I wanted to just simply destroy the man who had made my life a biger living hell than it already was. I tasted blood and stopped biting down so hard. The mark had slowly started crawling up my skin again and now one of the Omegas was almost at my cheek.

Benjamin remained stationary, his expression not faltering even in the slightest. Nothing but his coal-like eyes smiled, evidently excited---or he was just going crazy---to meet this Sanosuke, and hopefully free his friend of her burden.

Although, this battle might not be an easy one. He would have to stay on his toes; keep his guard up.

"My lack of sense, is it?" he retorted, raising his eyebrows in a sarcastic manner, but keeping his poker face in line. "The last time I checked, I wasn't the one controlling another half-blood to fight my own battles. I actually used the strength I had to win."

As much as Sanosuke's grin irritated Ben, he wouldn't give in so easily. He straightened his posture, reaching into his pocket and gripping the hilt of his Celestial bronze sword--the only object that Ben had charmed to grow larger when he unsheathed it from his pocket, and grow smaller when he placed it back in.

"Then how do you rid one of such a burden?" he inquired, expecting the obvious 'I'm not telling you!' response.

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Tue Nov 29, 2011 9:52 pm

Sanosuke
I rolled my eyes and sighed. I didn't like dealing with people and this boy was just simply annoying. I looked over at Eliza and smirked. She would certainly have a lot of explaining to do afterword.
" Using Eli to fight my battels? As if. It's not my battles she's fighting anyways." I said, grinning devileshly. My grin widened as I saw her flinch ever so slightly. My grin faltered and I became serious with his last question.
" There's actually one thing I'd like to know before I tell you Benjamin. Why exactly do you want to free her?" I asked bluntly. Why anyone would want to even help her was beyond me. And how she could've asked this guy for help was what really baffled me.

Benjamin's eyes narrowed, focalizing on Sanosuke with utmost attention.

Why did he want to free her? Well, Eliza was Ben's friend, of course. Even though they had just met, hhe fully understood her, as they both had opened up and shared each other's secrets and whatnot. That well earned trust wasn't something to be taken for granted, and he surely wasn't going to step down when his friend needed him.

Quite honestly, the first time he ever placed his faith into someone was Essie, and he knew well that if he died, the world would turn upside down for her. He had to put his life on the line in this battle, but somehow maintain his existence. He couldn't leave Essie, especially since she relied on him the most.

"Eliza is a friend of mine," he explained. "I knew I had to help her when she told me about her predicament."

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Wed Nov 30, 2011 10:29 pm

Sanosuke
I raised an eyebrow and smirked." You've made freinds with her? Must certainly be the bravery" I said grinning devileshly. How anyone could even manage to be near her was unfathomable. She was a monster with or without the curse. I sighed and rolled my eyes. This was becoming a bore. I turned to eliza and frowned.
" First," I tapped the hilt of my silver dagger and smirked as Eliza fell to her knees and gripped her shoulder. The black Omegas reached her cheeks and I could see her face contorted in agony. She didn't make a sound which dissapointed me. Her punishment for even daring to mention me to this annoying fellow.
I turned to Ben and sighed. I couldn't do much else infront of him. " Second, To remove the curse, you must kill the one they love the most."

Eliza
I let out a shaky breath and climbed up back to my feet. Everything hurt. Sano-kun had never gone this far infront of someone who wasn't in the Titan army. I gasped at the cure. Only one name came to mind.

Benjamin couldn't listen to Sanosuke's words any longer. He simply wanted to snap his neck, roll him into a ditch, and set that heartless son of Apollo to flames. He wanted nothing but this boy's death, and fate allowed it, he would be the one to kill him.

With all his rage, Ben drew his Celestial bronze sword from his pocket---which grew to it's full size as every inch was drawn---and advanced on Sanosuke, slicing, hacking, and thrusting in an unorthodoxed form.

"You're a monster!" he exclaimed.

Ben couldn't let Eliza suffer. She was her own person, and she deserved every right that everyone else did; she certainly didn't need a curse mark on her back all the time. Eliza didn't need Sanosuke controlling her, commanding her to do whatever his wishes were. Kill this, kill that. No, it wouldn't do. It wasn't right.

"You will release her from that curse!" Benjamin, with a great amount of strength, sliced at Sanosuke's neck before he continued speaking. "You will let her go!"

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Fri Dec 02, 2011 10:31 pm

Sanosuke
I sighed and dodged his attacks; ducking and sidestepping them easily since they were predictable. I laughed. He was probably the only in this camp to try to fight me after that pacifist son of Ares.
There he goes again giving me orders. In a swift movement I pulled out my sword and raised it in deffense, barely managing to stop his blade from peicing my neck.
" I cannot release her. I can affect it, transfer it, even split it in two if you like. But only her and the brander can destroy it completly." I stated calmly. I looked into his eyes and stopped trying to show emotion, letting him see the emptiness.

Benjamin ceased his offense, finally taking an interest in Sanosuke's words.

"What exactly do you mean by splitting the mark in two?"

Ben was sure he was talking about sharing the curse. He would recieve a part of it, Eliza would keep a part of it, and they would suffer together, he guessed. At least, he thought that was the kind of sharing Sanosuke mentioned.

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Mon Dec 05, 2011 12:08 am

Sanosuke
I grinned. Now he was starting to listen to me. " Well in Eli's case I would seperate the Fire and the Omegas. Simple but lengthy." I said, bluntly.I lowered my sword and looked over at Eli who was standing casually next to Ben, her face blank. I never got how that woman could get around so quietly and it irritated me.
Eliza
I looked over at Sano-kun and frowned. " Simple? Never knew driving one person crazy and another person murderous." I muttered darkly. Just like Sano-kun to leave out what could go wrong. He was just like a buisness.

Benjamin noted the tension between Sanosuke and Eliza. It was almost like he could recognize Eliza's feelings. She was clearly tired of her curse, and was willing to do anything to release her from it--except kill someone she loved most.

Ben saw through her perspective. What if he was in her position? What if he had the curse mark? He surely wouldn't be willing to kill the one he loved the most, though the fact that the curse ate at your very soul and destroyed your existance bit by bit was what concerned him. Would he be willing to end Essie's life to save his own, even when he promised to always protect her?

Absolutely not.

"Do if you split this curse mark," he began. "Does that mean I woud recieve the other half; that I would also suffer Eliza's fate, but it wouldn't be as dangerous as before?"

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Mon Dec 05, 2011 7:58 pm

Eliza
" No." I bluntly stated, looking at Ben. I knew he was my freind but this was too much. I wouldn't ever let anyone else go through what I have if I could stop it. And he had his girlfreind.
There was always a risk for people around you. An unpleasant remark, a foul mood and after a while you snap back into reality after you've practically killed everything in your path.
Sanosuke
I laughed and shook my head. I casually walked over to Eliza and put my hand over her shoulder. I grinned seeing her glae at me." Not exactly. It's actually a bit worse. Whoever gets the Fire", I pointed to the fiery red circle that rested on her shoulder," goes into a murderous rampage. The one who gets the Omegas," I lightly touched the Omega on her cheek and chuckled seeing her grit her teeth in anoyance, " goes crazy within a week. Simply put, No. Your fate would actually be worse."

Benjamin couldn't even imagine being even more strange than he was. He couldn't bare to be controlled by a curse mark. He wanted to take the burden away from Eliza, and if he wasn't with Essie, he knew he would be crazy enough to do it. Now, though, he couldn't; Essie needed him, and he needed Essie. He couldn't just leave her.

"Is there another way?" Ben asked, maintained his usual straight face. "I would do it if I could, but... He paused for a moment before continuing, hoping that Sanosuke didn't have some mind reading power. "I just want the burden lifted from Eliza."

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Wed Dec 07, 2011 9:41 am

Sanosuke
I smirked. Eliza looked at me suspiciously but I just smiled. "Oh come on. I'm not that big of a selfish arse." I said, pouting. She pinched the bridge of her nose. " Yes you are Sano-kun." She said softly.
I looked back to Ben and smiled."Since I like you Ben I think I might just help you."

Benjamin was suprised with Sanosuke's reply. In fact, he was a little suspicious of the son of Apollo. This had to be one of his little games. It couldn't be nothing more than that.

"I don't have time for mind games," he retorted, gripping the handle of his sword. "Release her from the curse now."

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Wed Dec 07, 2011 7:53 pm

Sanosuke
I laughed and shook my head. This was starting to get old. " Won't even hear me out? I'm hurt." I said, dramatically putting a hand to my heart. Eliza rolled her eyes." And I've already told you I can't reove it. But then of coarse your sense is a tad bit disfuctional." I said, grinning at the end.

Eliza
I turned to Sano-kun and sighed. " I've seen you do it Sano-kun. And I suggest you listen to Ben-kun." I said, uncounsiously adding the honorific to Ben's name. I frowned as Sano-kun shook his head." Gods. It's like none of you understand that I can't in your case Eli and that I'm actually trying to help. What do you take me for, a villian?" He said, shaking his head dramatically. I sighed and grit my teeth in annoyance. Sano-kun would help but never without a price.

Benjamin didn't even bother to retaliate at Sanosuke's insult. He did nothing but listen to the son of Apollo and Eliza speak, and then formulated a plan in the process.

"I'll do anything," he said. "But please, nothing to my girlfriend."

Now that Ben had the time to think about it, perhaps saying 'oh, not my girlfriend!' wasn't the best choice of words following 'I'll do anything.' His words guarunteed full allegiance, and whether Sanosuke was listening to him or not decided the son of Thanatos' fate.

He muttered a curse at his failure.

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Wed Dec 07, 2011 9:32 pm

Sanosuke
I grinned devileshly. I had him now. " You must be the bloke dating Essie, right? Lucky for you I wouldn't ask you to kill my half-sister." I said, rolling my eyes. I cocked my head to the side and smirked. " I simply wanted to go look for Elizas Brander. He's the only one who can remove it as I've stated before." I said, sighing dramatically. Eliza shook herself out of my grasp and walked up to Ben.
Eliza
I put my hands on Bens shoulder and closed my eyes. " You sure you wanna do this Ben-kun? Even I don't think I'm worth it." I said, staring at the floor.

Benjamin turned to Eliza, noting the concern in her eyes. He wanted to tell her she was worth it; that he wouldn't be putting his life on the line for her if she wasn't someone he truly, deeply cared for and loved like a sister.

A sister. That's new.

He rested his hand on her's, which was placed on his shoulder. "I don't want you to kill the person you love the most," he replied, every bit of emotion pouring out into the atmosphere with his words.

Ben had to take the fire. If there was a way he could survive, he prayed to his father, Thanatos, and all the gods of Olympus and the minor immortals.

I need you, he prayed. I need you all. I need you most, dad.

He turned back to Sanosuke, a hard facial expression paining his face.

"Do what you wish."

~ You'll have to guide me from here. I don't want Ben to die, though, obviously. xP

Sanosuke
I sighed and shook my head. I snapped my phone shut. I had been reading a text after their little 'moment'. Simply put, I was going to have to end this. Quickly. I turned to them and sighed. " Change of plans. Eliza...", I motioned toward the camp with my head,
" Brandon Chafer."
Eliza
I looked at Sano-kun wide-eyed. My hands fell to my sides and I simply stared at him in shock. Brandon Chafer. It soundd so familiar.
"What do you mean?" I said, clenshing my fists.

The conversation between Eliza and Sanosuke was a little disorienting to Benjamin. Who was Brandon Chafer? Why was he valuable to Sanosuke?

Ben lifted an eyebrow, choosing his words carefully, "Who is this Brandon?"

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Sun Dec 11, 2011 10:17 am

Sanosuke
I grinned devileshly. " Her Brander of coarse. I've been trying to help you but aperantly none of you trust me in the slightest." I said, rolling my eyes. Well it wasn't actually that big a deal. I wouldn't trust me.
Eliza
I looked at Sanosuke , my eyes wide. Chafer..." You can't be serious. He died. And I should know." I said, my lips curving into a frown. What the hell was Sano-kun playing at?

"What the hell are you talking about?" Benjamin exclaimed. "If he's her brander, but he's dead . . . then how-"

Ben thought for a moment, recollecting his composure.

"He was never dead, was he?"

Subject: Re: Just Talk (Bre) Tue Dec 13, 2011 10:48 pm

Sanosuke
I grinned wikedly. " Bingo." I said, grinning." It was easy enough to put in a guy with the same description. Dropping little tidbits of information leading to the fake one and our best Brander was scott free." I looked over to Eliza expecting her to be next to Ben. Instead she stood infront of me, her curse mark swirling and her amber eyes giving off a slight red glow.
Eliza
I clenched my fists and glared at Sano-kun with outmost hate. I was itching to hit him were it counted but my instinct of self preservation was still there. I sucked in a deep breath trying to calm down. If I wasn't carefull Ben might get hurt.

Benjamin now understood exactly what he was dealing with. Sanosuke just might be a difficult enemy to beat, but with the right strategies, Ben might just be capable of manipulating him into spilling some vital information. It would take work, but it was the only open option.

"And you kept Brandon hidden in the camp all this time, away from the outside world where he could possibly be vulnerable?"
