NO POV

Salem looked around the room until her eyes fell upon Emerald. Emerald saw this and tried to run, but in the blink of an eye Salem had the girl in her grasp. Emerald froze with terror. 

Salem: You've been honing that semblance of yours haven't you?

Ren opened fire on Salem, which didn't affect her. She launched a magic blast at him, but Pyrrha jumped in front of Ren and used her shield to protect the both of them. Yang charged and planted multiple explosives on Salem and detonated them. Salem's chest blow up causing her, however the wound healed shut. A strand of black goo shot out and ensnared Yang; Salem then started dragging the girl towards her. 

From Salem's blind spot, Pyrrha appeared. She swung her sword several times, but Salem managed to dodge each strike despite not being able to use her hands. A shockwave of magic managed to knock the Pyrrha back. But while she was occupied with Pyrrha, she let herself open to Oscar's own magic blast. 

Oscar: Let them go!

Pyrrha got back up but Salem tossed Yang at her, causing both to fall back down. 

Salem: Enough!

Magic circles appeared beneath everyone. From the circles grim hands were conjured and ensnared everyone. Salem pinned Emerald against the wall and charged a ball of magic.

Salem: What did you do with the lamp?

Emerald: N....nothing. 

 Salem brought the ball of magic closer to Emerald, who tired to move back. 

Salem: The lamp is missing, where is it?

Emerald: I swear, I didn't do anything with it. 

Salem decided to turn her attention to the rest of the group, specifically Oscar.

Salem: Look at you, how far you have diminished. You've lessened yourself, and all for these children and this breaking world. 

She grabbed Oscar by the face, who was now freaking out. 

Salem: Why...do...you...keep...coming...back?

???: YOU MEAN OLD WITCH!

Salem turned to look at the one who said that, which was none other than little Jaune Jr. The sorceress smiled. 

Salem: Aren't you brave little one.

Salem approached the boy. Now it was Pyrrha's turn to become terrified; scared as to what Salem was about to do to her son. Jr was freed from his binds, only to be snatched up by the witch. 

Salem: I'll admit after everything you have been through, a didn't expect there still to be a fire within you. I guess that's something you and your father have in common, you just love to get yourselves killed. 

Pyrrha: SHUT UP DAMN YOU! You have no right to talk about him. He may have been weak, but he never hesitated to help anyone.  He always thrived to be stronger, and to be a hero. Someone as sinister as you could never understand him.

At that statement Salem chuckled.

Salem: How sweet, remains me of the fairy tales I read as I grew up. I always hated them. 

She then gained a dark look as s sphere of magic appeared in her hand, causing Pyrrha to flinch back. 

Salem: I'll just put an end to this story right now. Be glad you don't get to see what I plan on doing to this world.
