Song: Running up that hill Kate Bush

You were standing in the bushes, wearing a mask. You couldn't believe that the scene in front of your eyes was real. Before Angelique left, she made you promise her that you won't get involved in anything that was supposed to happen.

At the beginning, everything seemed like it was going according to Angie's plan. But then, Barnabas made chandelier fell on her. You shouted, not caring that you might get caught and also get accused on being a witch. Luckily, nobody heard you in all this fuss that was going on.

Angelique was left alone in burning house. You ran to her and kneeled in front of her.

Angelique... Wake up, darling! We need to go home!

She slowly turned her head to you and a few pieces fell off her face.

Angie...

I'm so sorry my love.

You touched her cheek, as careful as possible. A single tear rolled down her cheek and she slowly moved her hand to her chest. You watched as she broke through her body, terrified. She slowly handed you still beating heart.

Take this as the last proof of my love.

You stared at the heart. It slowly turned into pieces. Her head fell on the side. You looked at your hand, where the ashes of your lover's heart mixed with your own tears.

You closed her eyes and placed the last kiss on her forehead.

Sweet dreams, my beloved witch.

You got up and saw that the flames made a way to get out of here imposible. However, you started walking confidently through them, but they disappeared a few seconds before each of your step.

When you walked out of the burning building, without even a scratch, all eyes landed on you.

Witch! Freak! Monster! Murderer! Bitch! Killer! Son of a bitch!

Someone threw something at you, but you avoided it. You stopped before the crwod that was blocking your way. Before, you were too overwhelmed by feelings, but now the fear made you think more racionally. They saw everything. You have to run away. FAST.

The crowd approached you.

Par terre!

You shouted and they all fell on the ground. You knew that it's gonna last only 30 seconds, you weren't as powerful as Angelique. You started running into the woods, because you weren't save anywhere else in this town.

You heard furious shouts. They were closer and closer. You used your powers again, after all, you had nothing to lose. The trees after you collapsed, but people just jumped above them. You saw that they had torches. Truly brings back memories...

Suddenly, you stopped and looked at your hands. Angelique was their leader. She fooled them for centuries. YOU were the powerful one, not them, just regular humans with torches. She'd want you to show them who's better.

Arrêt!

You shouted and raised you hands. Plants started appearing, just growing from the ground in extraordinary speed. Some of them were trees, so they pierced through their bodies.

You felt like throwing up, so you started running again, this time, no one's chasing you.

You don't know how much time it took, but you stopped when you were so exhausted that you really vomitted.

You wiped your mouth and looked around. You saw a hatch in the ground. It had some symbols on it, that you recognised. Angie's old hiding place, turned into magazine.

You used your power in the way it said, and it opened. You jumped inside and it immediately closed. She didn't destroy it. That was one more proof of how much she cared about you. She left it just in case you needed safe place.

You took some biscuits and started searching through the elixirs. You knew what you wanted to do.

You were lost in this world without her. Angelique at the other hand was strong, and would survive everything, and someday, avenge her loved one.

You weren't like that.

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?

You started talking to Angelique's figure that appeared above the opened bottle with potion.

If I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh
You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.

C'mon, baby, c'mon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh

You reached your hand out to her. You touched her chest and felt a sharp pain in your own.

...

Angelique woke up in her magazine. She felt something pulsing in her hand. It was a heart.

She looked around and saw the empty bottle.

My dear Y/N...

She carefully hugged your heart, feeling her own quickening. Tears gathered in her eyes, but she looked up and gritted her teeth.

I'm gonna show them...

She raised her hand, with the other still holding her only piece of you. A ground collapsed and she walked out. She headed to the city centre. Dark clouds gathered at the sky. She made a few buildings collapse.

She headed to the cliff, where Barnabas was with his girl. A whole forest started burning, but fire didn't even touch her.

She slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and raised your heart to the sky.

Did you saw that my dear? I can do so much worse...

She looked down at the ocean and smirked. This wasn't smirk from satisfaction. There was hunger and madness in her eyes. And that smirk came from the thought of those emotions showing.

My friend showed me this song from Stranger Things and I liked it.
