The world went silent, in slow motion as I fell to the ground

Caliban, gone, just like that
As if he didn't exist

It took me a second to process it, but as I did, I let out a gut wrenching cry as my hands went to my mouth,
I don't care if he was going to kill me, I don't care what he was going to do
But I cared so much about him, and he's gone

Gone

She looked towards me in realization at what she had just done, I couldn't speak as I just stared at her

Lucifer backed away
"How, that spell was fool proof? Unless,
That wasn't magic"
And with that he disappeared

It was quiet again as Sabrina turned around, Ambrose ushered us all back in
"Cousin, come inside, come inside" his voice calm, trying to soothe her

I felt hands grab me gently, trying to bring me back inside

-TIME SKIP-
I sat at the table numb, as Harvey yelled at her
"Sabrina, what the hell did you do?!"
I wasn't the only person who lost somebody today, Harvey's dad- he was among them

"Where's my dad? Get him back here" he yelled again, as roz tried to calm him down
Sabrina started to cry

"I don't know. I don't know where they went or how to get them back" she spoke frantically

"What do you mean you don't know?" Zelda asked her, she seemed overwhelmed

"She said she doesn't know, leave it" I spoke weakly, but everyone ignored me, once again bombarding her with questions

"STOP!" She screamed out, we all looked in shock at something disappearing behind he, this made everyone quiet

"Oh, okay, okay
Stay calm. Stay calm, Sabrina come with me" Ambrose tried to usher her out, giving her space

"Everyone leave her be. Nicholas and Eden, you may accompany" I fiddled with the ring on my finger as I slowly stood up, following

-TIME SKIP-
"I'm afraid the news is not good" Ambrose spoke solemnly, at this point what else was new?

"The scan shows that your body is somehow completely empty" I still didn't look away from my ring, still twisting it around my finger

"It's because I'm the void" Sabrina puts the pieces together, this makes me stop fiddling, I breathe in trying to calm myself

"When we sucked your soul into Sabrina Morningstar's body..." Ambrose starts

"We must have sucked some of the void into you as well" I conclude, I look up to Sabrina, a guilty look on her face

"And now, cousin, you are manifesting properties of the void itself. Namely, things disappear and go... somewhere"

She looks down in thought "for all I know, I killed all those people" my throat tightens at her words,
Dead

"All the miners... Harvey's dad,
Caliban"
I stare into space, and she sits down next to me, holding my hand

"I am so sorry Eden, I don't even have words, I-" I stroke her hand, I think it takes her by surprise

"It's okay" I croak out, faintly smiling at her, trying to be reassure her and myself
"There's nothing you can do the change what's going to happen" she looked at me, a seemingly unreadable expression on her face

I should be upset at her, screaming or crying, but I wasn't
I already lost a love, do I really want to lose a friend too?

"We'll figure this out" I concluded, going to stand up from the chair, when something... odd, happened

It felt like my hand was burning, but a cold burn- I frantically lifted my hand up to look and

The mark of Lucifer- gone
As if it never existed
My face fell, I looked to Ambrose for guidance

"Ambrose... my markings?" I showed him my now normal hand
I already knew what this meant-
I was mortal

-TIME SKIP-

We tried for so long to think of a plan, but it came to nothing- in anger Sabrina stood up from the table, crying

"I love you all, but I have to go far, far away" we all looked to her frantically, Nick trying to convince her to stop
But it was too late

Lunae magicae
She was gone

-TIME SKIP-
"Gone?" Zelda asked us all, we bowed our heads
"And mortal?" She looked to me, I nodded my head before she got onto the more important topic

"What do you mean gone? Where could she have gone at a time like this?"  Zelda interrogates us before Hilda spoke up

"Was it the void? Did the void take her?"

"No, I'm afraid not auntie" Ambrose answered

"No, Sabrina is the void" and I finished

"That's why she teleported herself away, to protect us from i- well, her" he frantically continued, Harvey had an annoyed on his face

"What does that even mean?" I looked at him, brows furrowing

"It means, farm boy, that we have to find Sabrina, track her down" Nick answered, adding a snide remark at the start
Thanks Nick

"I'm sorry to ask this, but if Sabrina is the void, as you say she is, what is to prevent her from zapping is away like poor mr kinkle?" Hilda enquired, still a touchy subject for us all

"That's a good question, it-" Ambrose starred, but seemingly didn't have an answer, it went quiet for a second
Until i realized

"Pandora's box" I folded my arms as if the answer was obvious, but a round of 'hm?' Didn't go unnoticed in the group, i elaborated

"We'd finish what Sabrina started by trapping the void in Pandora's box"

"But isn't Pandora's box floating in space?" Agatha asked matter-of-factly, but now it was nicks turn to shine

"Yes, with Sabrina's body
Sabrina Spellman's body"
He's got it, the solution

"How are we supposed to find her in space?" Prudence shook her head, Nick then grabs something out of his shirt

"I gave Sabrina the other half of this locket"
Oh Nick, you genius
