Llian was more than happy to lean down and meet Juls in a kiss. He rested his hand lightly on her waist, letting the kiss draw out and linger. His other hand traveled to her neck, slipping underneath her hair and pressing against the skin, drawing her closer.

Of course, he was vaguely aware that Cat was talking, and he reluctantly pulled away just in time to hear where he was supposed to be going. He sighed. "I have to go. Be careful getting home. If you want, wait here, and I'll take you once I'm done there," he said. Leaning down, he gave her one more quick kiss before disentangling himself from her arms.

"I'll be back soon." He glanced over at Jana. "With everyone safe."

And then he disapparated.

Pierce was satisfied when Sam said she was going to wait, glad that she, at least, had the common sense not to just apparate away because she was ready to be home. He was a little worried about her and all such, but Cat was detailing where they were going, and Lynx was gone. So despite him wanting to stay and take care of Sam, he was really determined to finish this.

He had been listening over Sam's head, but when she spoke to him once again, he nodded, very slowly unwrapping his arms from her, so she would have time to steady herself.

"Yes...but I'll pop in and check up on you later, okay? Just to make sure everything's alright." Leaning down, he kissed her softly, and then was walking, apparating to the Ancient Circle.

Amaris didn't appreciate being knocked unconscious without a warning, but she really didn't have any choice in the matter. Less and less choices were being left entirely up to her as time went on and it seriously just angered her. But she could put all those thoughts aside for now because she was finally in her own body. She was dizzy, nauseous, and she had an immediate headache. Was the ceiling supposed to be spinning? Everyone had a twin, how lovely and...colorful, but they seriously needed to stop moving.

She sat back up, another wave of nausea but it was no worse than her normal all day morning sickness, so she could handle it. She took a couple of deep breaths, and leaned against the wall for a bit, her eyes closed. It blocked out the colors and twin-ness of the room. She heard Lynx give out the order to apparate into the woods outside the Ancient Circle, then the sound of plops; an indication of the aurors disapparating. She opened her eyes and stood up, using the wall as support. She really hoped she would never ever have to go through that process ever again. And she would no doubt be making sure that that bloody knife is confiscated, kept out of human reach, or thrown into a wormhole for all she cared. Evil, little thing.

She took the gun from Cassie, with a small thank you, before beginning her own sentiment of gratitude. "No, thank you so much...for taking care of..." Then her hand went to her stomach, it was still glamoured away, but she could still feel the life force there. Like it was. . .a part of her. Like she would never be alone. . .she liked that feeling. Amaris said a small bye and watched Cassie disapparate away, no doubt to fully enjoy her engagement to vampire boyfriend Jake.

Amaris went over to Franco and gave him another, longer-lasting (probably because she felt unsteady still), hug. "I'll be back soon." she kissed him on the cheek quickly before dissaparating.

With all the Auror's leaving and those staying behind, Silver took a breath just to calm her nerves. Honestly she needed to get out of the office more. Maybe she wouldn't be so jumpy then.

"Okay maybe we should do this in some organized fashion. If it's easier then we could have anyone getting switched be by their bodies so there isn't any mix ups." Take charge? She wasn't so sure she could do that anyways. Turning to Cat though, "Whatever is easier for you to do this."

Silver had to keep an eye on her anyways and make sure she got the knife when it was all said and done. Her wand that she had out she put away as she didn't see any need for it right then.

Organized fashion was all well and good, but Brandin was not simply going to wait there. Others were disapparating, yes? And he had a rather helpful tool sitting back at home, his own home. An invisibility cloak. He had every belief that if in the center of that ritual was the continuation of the potion he held, so were notes or things that could assist him in understanding the situation.

Brandin knew quite a bit about the darker side of magic and rituals. Magick rituals-- particularly those taking place at the Ancient Circle, required a cleansing of any sacrifice, which meant it was very likely that both Julie and Caleb had been 'cleansed'. That could mean many things. Blood thinners, or enzymes. A reduction of hormones. However, given the nature of how Jana and Jason had described them, given his observation of Julie...he would say it was much more likely a cleansing of the mind. It was just so interesting. The idea of removing thoughts or emotion from a person...

Hm. This warrented study. And that meant he wanted to see that ritual, he wanted to know what was going on during it. Whatever defenses were up, he had every contest that the Aurors would ruin it. He couldn't simply wait for them to be done and go an examine the remains.

He knew he didn't have to explain himself to Catalina, but he wanted to let her know a little bit anyways. So he leaned over and kissed her cheek, letting his hand linger on her arm to appear as though in complete embrace before whispering in her ear that she did not have to worry about Caleb, that he would find out what was going on.

He then indicated to Catalina once more in a low murmur, this time insuring that the Auror basicaly guarding them could hear her. "I'll be right back, all right? I just want to stop by the house."

And get the invisibility cloak, and go to the ancient circle, and then be back. Catalina could seriously figure that out. He squeezed her arm and then disapparated.
I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet I always try to hide
Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

Juls knew Llian had to go the second she heard Cat talking, but that didn't mean she really wanted him to. It felt a lot safer there, where she was resting against him, and she'd rather just have stayed there, thank you very much. But like usual, all good things come to an end, and she nodded, dropping her hands to her sides. When she wasn't concentrating on just how good it felt to be kissing him again, Juls realized she was still pretty shaky, and she had been leaning against Llian for support for a reason.

"I think I'm going to wait here then."
She murmured to him. That way, she didn't have to worry about being splinched or ending up somewhere random, or anything of the sort. It also meant she could see him right after; make sure he was okay. It wasn't that she was underestimating his ability, she just knew what she had been through. Her soul, for merlinssakes, had been in Jana's body. They had found an object to switch souls, and now whoever it was was doing some kind of ritual. So she felt it wasn't too illogical for her to worry.

Llian kissed her one more time, and Juls watched and he disappeared, a hand rising to tub her face. She was tired. SHe just wanted him to go home with her right then. Was that really too much to ask, after the hell they'd been put through the past month? At least aAndy was going with them. Juls had decided she was too tired for the bitchfight it would become. No tolerance, right then.

So instead she looked around the room, spotting the other Den members. They needed to be switched back, and so Juls suggested quietly, to Cat, "Why don't we just do this in one big production? I'll put people to sleep, you can switch the souls, and..." She glanced over at Jana, thinking the other woman probably needed something to focus on right then, "Jana? Can you wake them up?"

The faster they could get this done, the faster it was over, right?

Jana said absolutely nothing at first, letting them leave, having turned away until Llian addressed her again. She didn't miss the small smile of gratitude from Juls, and she simply smiled in return. It was not her secret to tell, and she had no intention of letting it be spilled because of Andy. Of all people. She moved on a moment later, shutting her eyes, her hands clutching a small fist of her hair as she sat and waited. As she breathed in and out, trying not to worry, and miserably failing, she unclenched her hair rhythmically. Looking for idle things to pick at, she reached for her neck, a tiny smile at finding her own butterfly necklace hanging there.

It's an odd thing to be thankful for. Sitting worried out of her mind...but in her own body. Her own hair, her own clothes, her own shoes. Back with her own self. Her mind had become the only thing lately she'd ever kept. It was the only thing that really felt hers. So even finding herself back in her body, dizzy and disoriented as she was, was a blessing. A marvel.

And she really didn't care. Not right then. Caleb was still in danger, and no matter how many times she repeated to herself what Llian had said, she was still upset about it. Wasn't that what he'd said was good anyway? That Caleb knew she was praying for him-- that it would help?

Her eyes fluttered back open as she heard Juls and the small smile returned. "Absolutely, Juls." She nodded. "That all right with you...I'm sorry, I don't know your name." She'd turned to look at the Auror.

Silver was actually glad someone had a better suggestion. Or a suggestion at all. The sooner this all got done then the better for everyone. The thought that people were switched as still unnerving, but if it could be put right then all the better. She had taken note to someone leaving but she shrugged it off. Probably went with the Auror's or something.

"That sounds good," she said, turning to look at Jana. "I'm Silver."

She at least mustered up a smile for that much. Standing around looking depressed about the whole situation was hardly going to help anything.

Cat just shook her head when Julianna offered to help. Really, the putting to sleep and waking them up again wasn't that bad. It just took a simple wave of her wand. "I've got it," she said calmly.

Deciding that a Patronus charm would be easier to relay the message to everyone else she needed to direct to the warehouse, she sent off a silver falcon to the remainder of those who had switched bodies, letting them know the address to which to go to get switched back.

Once they came, it didn't take long for her to tell them what to do, and she had them unconscious and switching back in no time. The switching was the actual tedious work, using the knife. It was actual work to harness the magic hidden in such a small object. But eventually it was done. All except a couple of switches... Those must be the people at the ritual.

"Jana." Jana responded to introduce herself with the smallest smile. Casting a glance at Juls as Catalina did what she wanted to anyways, she simply shook her head as if to say 'figures'. She wasn't at all surprised that Catalina ignored their offers of help, simply shutting her eyes once more and leaning against the wall while she worked. It was actually kind of ridiculously that they were going to be woken up, there was no need for them all to suffer these aftereffects if there was no pressing matter. So she continued to sit there, waiting, counting to ten..then a hundred...

She was well on her way to a thousand before stopped by someone sitting down next to her, apparently checking himself over to make sure everything was the same.

"...May I help you?" She asked, scooting her own knees into her chest without realizing the action.

Parker had a brilliant idea the moment the Aurors had shown up. At the end of the movies and the great epic stories, everyone reverted to their original states, and celebrated a bit. Usually at a bar. True Lord of the Rings fashion, table dancing not...required. But hell, they had a lot to celebrate...

Not that they were out of the woods yet. He'd have gone after them, but finding himself waking up in his own body again had him sitting promptly right back down. It appeared there were several things he could do right here on his own. The least of which being attempting to comfort the many people -- not to mention the rather beautiful, many worrying women at the moment. So he dragged himself over to the wall as well, attempting to insure that all his parts were still there, and working (yes they were) and tilted his head to look at her. She appeared self-conscious, clutching her knees and not bothering to re-introduce herself to the room.

"Parker Faye." He didn't bother holding out his hand. He realized she didn't want to be touched. "And I figured talking might help pass the time a little better, but I can be quiet if you want."

When Catalina decided she didn't want any help, Juls was a little frustrated. She...really didn't want to just sit there, not knowing what was going on - though she had to admit, hers was on a lot smaller level than Jana's, simply because she just saw Llian - and not being able to cgo home...

It was a really uncomfortable feeling to not be comfortable in her own skin. She literally felt like a stranger, slowly noticing a lot of changes that hadn't been there the last time she'd been in her own body. She didn't feel sick and nauseus anymore, which was a good thing, but she did feel a little off balance and dizzy. And really, she wasn't sure if that was the pregnancy or the soul thing. It hadn't minimized that much, but at least she was able to function; Jana's body had started not working for her time to time. That was frightening.

But even with all that, she couldn't just...sit. She didn't have the patience for that. Instead, she kind of paged between Jake and Emery's bodies, waiting for them to wake up. Taking care of other people always helped her. She could focus on someone else. But as she waited, her hand snuck to her waist, surprised to find that...Andy hadn't just been being cruel. She did have a little curve there.

Thinking back, she realized she was about three months. So, yes. That was normal. She had a baby bump, and she was only thanking the stars that Jana had decided to go with a looser shirt. She didn't want to have that conversation there, now. She didn't really, want to have that conversation at all, but it was sobering to understand she wasn't going to be able to hide it easily much longer.

Juls had known on a smaller-based level what Emery had been going through, considering she had been living with her, but she hadn't talked to Jake since they'd been at Mungo's. And despite both of those, she now knew how it felt to wake up after this, and wanted to help in whatever way possible.

Being switched will be probably the weirdest experience in her life. It wasn't her first weird experience but the past month will defiantly be in her mind for a long time. When she started to wake up, she felt very nostalgic. She felt the same way she did a month ago when she first woke up, when she got switched. She sat up and she started to examine herself, her body. The one she hadn't been in for a month. To her it felt years that she was away from her body. If she wasn't in a room full of people she would've hugged herself and cried for a bit. She felt slightly dizzy when her eye sight, hearing, and smell flooded into her all at once. Not a very great feeling she thought as she shook her head.

She looked at Catalina and she felt sorry for her, being controlled and was made to switch everyone. She guessed that everyone who was switched wasn't the only one who suffered; Catalina was a victim just like everyone else. She stood up slowly so that she wouldn't fall and she looked at Catalina with a small smile and said, "Thank you." With that she aparated away from the warehouse in hurry for she didn't want to stay another moment in her home.

Keeping busy while in Parkers body was a lot easier than Luke had expected. At certain times, he had difficulty, but that was the experiment (or so he thought). Overall, it was kind of vacation-like. He didn't need to research anything, didn't have random people knocking on his door, and... he wasn't restricted or loathed because he was a vampire. It was actually kind of selfish and great at the same time.

When Luke woke up, though, he was relieved. And the first thing he wanted to do was find Rach (because, hell, where was she, anyway?) , and hug her, and just... be normal. Of course, with extra breaks here and there. And less staying in at Lunacy. He was just seeing how unhealthy that was.

He stood, checking if all his body parts were working, and looked around. There were still people in sleep-state, and everyone else was just wandering around. Luke wondered if there was some martial rule not to leave, he did realize it probably wouldn't be easy to disapparate. He sighed, he'd wait till he could, and then find Rach..

Silver was actually glad it had just been done and finished with even if Cat didn't want any help. There wasn't much to oversee really. Everyone looked alright. Turning to Cat once again though she held out her hand, absolutely certain she was going to do at least one part right.

"I'm going to need the knife now."


Then she'd take it to be put away like Lynx asked. It sounded simple but she wasn't about to make assumptions and jinx herself or something.

Cat was honestly surprised to hear someone thanking her for switching them back. They hadn't exactly been fond of her up until then. And she had to admit that on some level she didn't blame them. Yet, there was a tiny smile on her face when she replied, "You're welcome."

And then she heard the other man. Parker Faye. He was one of the people randomly scheduled to be asked to participate in Will's original experiment. She hadn't actually paid attention to his name. But now, when she heard 'Faye', she turned to him curiously. "I'm sorry, did you just say 'Faye'?" she asked. And then she introduced herself. "Catalina Faye, by the way. Do you have.... any relation to Brandin Faye?"

Of course, the Auror was interrupting. Cat resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "Actually, you can't," she said, her tone perfectly masking the irritation with disappointment. "There's still one more pair of people to switch back. That's what we're waiting on the rest of the Aurors for,' she said.

Caleb was dropped off by the Auror, and then she Disapparated immediately. Caleb didn't know where she went, and he honestly didn't care. He didn't have the knife anymore - he had been asked to hand that over - and he didn't have any orders. He didn't know exactly what to do.

He had found himself in a small, bland room. The walls were bare, and everything was concrete. It could have been a warehouse. He didn't know.

And there were people he recognized there. Cat was there. Jana was there. However, all he did was stand there, wondering briefly why they were all there. It didn't really matter, though.

Well, that was a new one. Not only did Catalina know the name, but she had the same name. His instant curiosity about discovering more about his family was slightly hampered by the fact that she'd been imperiused during this entire event, but he smiled anyways. "Yeah, I did. Nice to meet you, Catalina Faye..." He said the name simply and easily, but he was still surprised enough that he looked it. His eyes widened, his lips pulled in a tight, wide smile.

"I don't know if I am, actually, I'm sorry. My ...ahem, 'father' is Logan Faye, but... "

He was interrupted from his curiosity by the fact that the woman sitting next to him had jarred herself to stand and he twisted to see why. A rather fast apparition--disapparition--vanishing act, had an Auror drop off whom he recognized as the Chief of Wizengamot.

His eyebrow, predictably, arched.

The moment Caleb had arrived, Jana had stood. She didn't care that the room immediately spun, she didn't care how confused and startled she was by the rapid literal 'drop off'...she only cared that he was there. Caleb didn't even seem to understand that something had happened...he was distant, confused, staring..dripping. Dripping?! His hand was bleeding freely, warm sprinkles of blood onto the floor. He looked otherwise unharmed, and in the utter immediate relief, she took a few steps forward over to him, put her arms around his neck, and held him for a second. "Caleb."

Having her arms around him felt just.. right. Finally. A little bit right. Except she knew that not nearly everything was right just because she had her arms around him. He still wasn't himself, not everyone was switched back, and who knew what was going on at that bloody with the fight. She still didn't want to let go.

Fifty-nine bloody days. Fifty-nine bloody days since she'd seen him as herself. The last time she'd seen him, he was going to see his sister, and she'd never heard back. By the time she'd begun to worry, she'd been placed in another body, spent however many days as Juls of all people. And while it really was heartening to realize how much she and Juls might get along, she knew Juls was just as thrilled as she was to be back in her own skin. Back with their own guy. Back with ... what just felt right.

She knew she couldn't really just stand there, holding on to him, when he didn't really know what was going on. When he was emotionless, thoughtless, prone to obeying orders...the thought made a few more tears leak out of her eyes and she swallowed, holding on to him harder. Catalina was in the room, of course. Catalina really was not going to like that. And Jana really just didn't bloody care. She could attempt anything to tear them apart at that moment, and Jana knew it wouldn't work. She wasn't going anywhere. He had been there for her, after the maze, after...everything else, and he'd held her. He'd supported her. Brought her back to life, made her believe in her own damn self again...and merlindammit if she wasn't going to somehow do the same for him. She was going to bloody be there for him.

So she just held him.

And then she leaned back, keeping one arm around his waist, freeing the other to lift up his hand and examine where he was bleeding. Running her finger over his hand, she didn't realize just how many happy, anxious, miserable tears she was mixing as they ran down her face and she sniffled. A cut didn't mean the sacrifice- or whatever the hell it had been- had been completed, right? Still, it looked like it bloody hurt, so she reached for her wand, severing the bottom part of her sleeve and using it as a bandage, pressing hard and firm to cover the cuts.

"We're going to fix this." She muttered. "I'm glad you're okay. What...what happened?"

He could answer questions, yes? Maybe if they knew more about what had happened...they could fix everything easier.

Cat drew in a sharp breath as Caleb was brought back. Now completely ignoring Parker (except, of course, to excuse herself briefly), she rushed over to her brother's side. Jana got there first. Of course. Cat didn't bother to hide her weary sigh at that.

Jana was hugging him, completely unwilling to let go. And Caleb wasn't stopping her. Not that she really expected him to. But she didn't exactly expect him to act like this either. He wasn't really doing...anything. He had brought an arm up to rest around Jana's waist, but the effort seemed to lack any real feeling behind it. So did his expression. It was just..blank. He was blank.

And Cat instantly wanted to know who Andre Terminus could have been working with. Clearly whomever it was was smarter than him and played a deadlier game. One that Cat was going to make sure he or she paid for dearly. She wasn't about to let some stranger get away with making him like this.

No, first she was going to make sure Caleb got cured of...whatever it was that was wrong with him. Then she was going to get her revenge.

"Are you all right?" she asked hesitantly, unable to stop herself from speaking up. She would rather Jana wasn't there, but right now that clearly wasn't going to change. And she didn't really want to pay attention to Jana right then, even to argue with her. Her full attention was on Caleb instead.
