On an equal footing [PV Black Lotus]

Lotus walked the streets of New Orleans, what she was doing here she didn't really know, it had really just become a hobby to watch the lives of the low life humans. She ended up in a park. It wasn't very full, probably cause it was unnaturally cold today. She stopped someone in the distance. She filled with rage at the sight of the boy. The only person to escape her was sitting only a few feet away. She calmly walked up behind him. None of her rage visable on her face. She bent down, resting her head on his shoulders, her arm reaching up to wrap around him. "You look cold..." said Julia calmly. "Allow me to warm you up."

"I'm fine where I am." said Julia. "And I have been doing fine I guess, Just a little annoyed. You see back when I was in Montreal one of the many lowlife scum who inhabit this world happened to escape one of my traps, putting a blemish on my perfect record. He took the trap, hook, line and sinker yet he escaped. It has annoyed me greatly." Julia moved up closer to Isak's ear. "You see, him escaping was completely unacceptable. And I feel sorry for the poor scum when I catch him cause unlike the quick and painless death i would of given him I'm going to share some of my pain with him." Julia moved even closer to Isak's ear, so close that her soft breathing could be heard in his ear. Then she whispered into his ear. "I want you to run, expect this time you won't escape. I want to see your fear as I catch you and I want to hear you screams as I slowly cook you alive then feed your remains to the gators." With that she slipped back and stood up, a pair of hellfire orbs appeared in her hands. The hunt was on.

Julia smiled as the boy darted, but smiled when he stopped. Apparently the boy learned some tricks, or he always had them. It was no big deal. The boy spouted some short speech. Julia burst out laughing after the speech.

"If you're trying to intimidate me boy you aren't doing a bad job." said Julia. She held her hands out to her side and the two balls of fire in her hands grew larger, the black and red flames licking each other hungrily. "If you think you are on my level then you are a fool." A smirk on her face. "You know I was being merciful killing you slowly, but now you are going to be my new play thing. I haven't had one of those in a few hundred years, You see my playthings are oh so fragile. Or at least they are when I get a hold of them." Julia then threw the two balls of hellfire. Using the first two as a distracted she quickly made a third and threw it right after the 2nd ball of hellfire.

Julia smirked, did this boy think he could pose a challenge? Julia created a whip of Hell fire and whipped the two on coming fireballs, causing them to exploded. The whip of hell fire dissipated. Despite her smirk she look relativity bored, like that her current situation was childs play. To her it was, she had centuries of experience behind her. While this boy most likely only had a few.

"Cute trick. But two simple fire balls aren't going to do much against me." said Julia with a small grunt of a laugh. Two balls of hell fire formed in her hands and she threw them at the boy. The balls of fire flew at Isak in a curve, each of the fireballs breaking into two more fireballs. She didn't expect it to kill, or even hurt the boy. No... that wasn't her goal. He had escaped her, something no one had done before. She had let people live before, but she would always finished the job later, when they least expected it... or if she got bored. But this boy... this boy had escaped her and no part of that was forgivable. But she wouldn't kill him, not right away at least. She had big plans for this boy. He was going to die but slowly, oh so slowly. She jumped into the air and in a burst of hell fire, a pair of demonic wings appeared on her back. They carried her 20 feet up in the air where she floated.

"This, my dear boy is what you have to fear. I tore these off a demon right before I ended him. What hope do you have of defeat me. I am feeling unnaturally generous right now. Surrender yourself to me and i'll make your death a bit quicker." said Julia, so the boys attention was back on her. A smirk appeared on her face again. "Or maybe I'll keep you as my personal pet. You wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore. Any desire you could ever wish for will be sated. Just as long as you become completely submissive. A world of pleasure will be yours."

Julia look down on the boy, who seemly went through a personality change, something that was not present the last time. Interesting... very interesting... thought Julia. She wondered what brought that change on. She smiled when saw two ball of hellfire appeared on his hands and engulfed his hand.

"All you've done is copy what you see, you are just a dirty little monkey aren't you?" said Julia with a smirk. "True power isn't judged by power alone, I have fought greater foes then you. By the time I'm done you'll learn what pain feels like, one way or the other."

Two balls of hellfire appeared in her hands, the flames liked her arms and hands a bit. She let out a small moan at the pain, enjoying the feeling. She looked at the new version of Isak, she like this version better. He would be all the more fun to break.

"Tell me boy... that fire you hold, what is it's greatest weakness." said Julia, she wanted to know what his answer. He couldn't use his power to it's fullest  with out knowing it's weakness.

A look of disgust crossed Julia's face. She had no idea how it happened but it looks like a joke had come back to bite her in the ass. His answer was also pretty atrocious, he didn't know the two biggest weakness about it. And she would like to keep it that way for now. She smirked and the boys attempt to make a deal.

"I will be the one to make the deal boy." said Julia. "I don't let lowlife worms like yourself make deals. You obey me or die, that simple. And if I have to beat it into you then very well. I have dealt with brattier children then you."

With a flick of her wrists the two balls of hellfire flew at the boy. She held her hand off to the side and a whip of hellfire appeared.

Julia glided to one side and the ball of hellfire the boy threw flew right past her. "If you wanted to harm me with a sneak attack that isn't the way to do it." said Julia bored. This kid was annoying and whatever fun she was having fighting him was starting to fade. "I do not know who this crimson witch you speak of and frankly I do not care. You are starting to bore me boy, your ignorance is worse then any of the lowlifes I have had the displeasure of running into." She whipped her whip of hellfire at the boy, not really aiming at him but more in his general direction. The whip lengthened to that it could reach the ground before retracting again. The whip then coiled back to her hand, becoming a ball of hellfire. She tossed it lazily up and down in her hand before tossing it at the boy, it breaking up into a total of 5 balls of hellfire. Th balls of fire flew at the boy in a horizontal line.
