Even later....
"So what th' fuck am I supposed ta do?" Royce growled as she paced back and forth, while Keira, Tristan and Little Tris all watched her.
"Get angry." Tristan stated simply, which caused Royce to look at him incredulously.
"Get angry? When for years ya were constantly tellin' me I needed ta NOT get angry? Make up yer mind, Tris...cuz I'm really..really gettin' confused."
Keira chuckled a bit, curling her legs up and wrapping her arms about those legs. "He's talking about righteous anger. That's what makes Kerwyn such a badass. He's got that righteous anger going on. Did you think you weren't in that loop?"
Royce shook her head with a scowl. "Okay..so I get angry. What's that gonna do? How th' hell do I break outta this curse? I can't go back...not knowin' I have th' single life left...how do I end it?"
Little Tris smiled as he looked up at his mother. "It's easy..." And the three proceeded to tell Royce exactly what needed to be done.

Kenji looked at Royce and he watched her sleep. Little Hana was starting to grow tired herself and so he stood back up and placed her in her bassaniet. "Rest Hana.." He said as he touched the little girls soft cheek.

Four days later.....
Still there was no change in Royce. Things were getting rather tense, and even Mika was starting to feel at a loss. Triad's had been seen snooping around, but they were quickly taken care of. Of course, that meant that the twins were now being doubly guarded, and only specific people were allowed near them. The guard around Royce's room had also stepped up.
When Mika showed up this time, Kenji had already gone down to see the kids, and she had went to sit with Royce, sitting on the edge of the bed. A lot of the wires were gone now that she had completely stabalized, but the IV continued to drip its nourishment into her veins.
MJ didn't say anything for a long time, watching her cousin, brushing hair from her face. Finally, she began to murmur to Royce. "'Cuz..we've been through a lot together. We've helped each other out..saved each other's asses. But I'm lost ...I can't help ya this time..I dunno what th' fuck ta do. Ya've got four kids here needin' their mom...an' Kenji needin' his mate. Yanno that dog's unstable ta begin with...he needs ya most of all..an' I can't keep him grounded like you can. Ya need ta wake up. Things are startin' ta get hot around here...so comon, 'Cuz...wake up. Please?"

Kenji would make sure his children were taken care of and then he would make his way back upstairs. He was losing touch with reality sometimes. His talks with Royce started to jumble together and sometimes he thought she answered back. Kenji was walking that fine line and although he seemed alright around Mika he was slipping back into old habits. Old angers that had taken him so long to control.
He opened the door to the room and looked at Mika and he growled. Something he hadnt done in quite awhile, he got possive.

"See what I mean?" She muttered as she heard the growl behind her. She sighed, trailing a finger over Royce's cheek then tapping her nose, still talking to her and for the moment ignoring Kenji and his growls. "So what are ya doin', 'Cuz? Are ya even listenin'?"

He snarled at her again the hair on his arm standing on end. Kenji was reverting back to his old hott temper and he glared at Mika. He was trying not to but things were just going backwards for him.

Mika finally sighed, turning her head to look towards him. "Chill out dog-boy. It's me...MJ....remember?"
She completely missed the extremely subtle shudder that went through Royce's form.

Kenji snarled, "I dont care who the fuck you are." His fist tightened, Royce was his mate, his property afterall. He was reverting back to that more animalistic senses he had in Rathamet.

Mika shook her head as a flash of yellow came into her eyes...a warning. "Kenji...get a grip on yerself already. This isn' gonna help her yanno. Or yer kids..not if ya start actin' like a demented lunatic again. What's next? Gonna throw another tantrum an' leave her again?" She wasn't trying to hurt him ...but trying to verbally slap some sense into him. Meanwhile, another shudder ran through Royce, and the monitor hooked to her picked up a very slight bit as the heartbeat began to move a bit quicker.
Meanwhile....
Royce was standing in an open glade. Keira, Tristan and Little Tris were standing yards away, watching. Royce had her eyes closed, and the dusk had darkened as she stood there, growling low. "Hawatha! Show yourself!"

He snarled and soon he was right next to Mika quicker then she would have exspected. He looked down at her with a snarled, "Dont stick your nose where it dont belong." He growled his hand tightening on her shoulder. Mika couldnt control him, she could beat him possible but control him? Oh no that was all Royce, she was the only one who was ever able to pull that leash of his tight.

Ohhh..it was a good thing they were in a hospital. Mika snarled as she grabbed his wrist and yanked it away from his shoulder, twisting it around as eyes narrowed. "Fer yer information, Dog-boy, this is my business. I'm her family too.."
The BP monitor gave a sudden beep as Royce's blood pressure suddenly began to shoot up, her heart rate picking up. It was enough to send the alarm to the nurse's station, and before Kenji or Mika would know, a nurse came barging in. She stopped seeing the two, and shook her head. "What's going on? Get away from her." This nurse wasn't the weak little always doing what was told types. She was rather burly herself, and she bustled to Royce's side, pushing both of them away as she began to check out vitals.
Burly or not, the nurse wasn't prepared for what happened next. She gave a gasp and yanked back as sudden bone shards came shooting out of Royce's forehead, and more about her neck and down her arms. "Oh sweet Jesus!"
She slapped the alarm button...unsure as to what to do as blood began to pour from those wounds. Mika yanked away from Kenji, her eyes wide. "No!"
Meanwhile....
Royce continued to stand and growl, her form shuddering as her soul felt the pains of her body. It was a lot easier to handle, however, with them separate. A black shadow began to shimmer in front of her, laughing. "What do you plan on doing, little kitten? I grow impatient. It's time to join me..."
Royce snarled, her eyes flying open. "I don't think so..."

Kenji whirled around and came to his senses, reaching out he pulled Mika back and held her tight almost clinging to her as he let the nurse and the doctors do what they needed to do. He looked at Royce hurt and fear in his eyes. He couldnt do this alone.. he just couldnt live without Royce there to help him and he was starting to panic alittle.

Several nurses and a couple doctors all rushed in, and all were struck dumb momentarily. Royce's body was covered with those sharp bony protrusions, sheets and bed soaking through with the blood flowing through. It was Doctor L that had come into the room and seen the mess that snapped everyone out of it as he began to bark off orders. "Get some blood bags in here. Nurse Duprey stop gawkin' like a chicken and get the anesthesiologist..." He continued to bark orders as he shoved people back moving to look down with worry at Royce.
It was a clash of wills going on....soul against demon. Tristan, Keira and Little Tris could not interfere. At the moment, both Royce and Hawatha silently struggled. For a moment, it almost seemed as if the demon would win, blood seeming to pour down Royce's face..from her eyes, nose and ears. Neither gave in, however, both continued to struggle.
They had never seen anything like this. The shards seemed to be getting longer, and growing thicker, tearing through her flesh. Mika was at a loss to what to do, especially since Kenji was...clinging to her? Had the situation not been so dire, oh she could have fun with that one. Her arms moved over his, holding him and just watching...feeling just as much fear...and unfortuantely hunger as the smell of blood assaulted her senses.
For over an hour the doctor's tried everything they could...sedating her was one of the only things they could think of. Royce was going through a lot of blood, but it was useless considering it all just ran out again. Her blood pressure was steadily dropping, and her heart rate starting to drop as well. Doctor L snarled, angry at the lack of any success. "Get the defibs in here NOW. We are NOT gonna lose her.."

Kenji stood back and watched as tears came to his eyes. not Royce, not her he would give his life before she gave hers. "Royce fight damnit!" He yelled out to her seeing the blood, tears freely ran down his cheeks as his arms held tight to Mika.

The clash continued, and slowly...agonizingly slow...Hawatha began to feel the pressure from Royce. It wasn't a physical thing..they were fighting for her soul. Royce's eyes closed as she relied on her 'gift'...using it to manipulate, finding the demon's weaknesses and attacking with a vengence. Soon Hawatha found himself on the defense, losing his grip on her, feeling himself being banished away from her. "Nooooo..."
As Royce was defeating her literal inner-demon, it began to tell on her body. Those shards stopped their growth, and instead of retracting, they began to disintegrate, becoming dust. As they broke down, wounds rapidly healed, sealing off and leaving no mark.
It was about another hour gone by before everything seemed calm again, and more blood was being pumped into Royce. The doctors and nurses, though still bemused and in shock, were releived. Until the steady sound of the heart monitor grabbed everyone's attention. Royce had flatlined.
