Chapter 52: King Killer

It was nearly 8 when they arrived at the back of the Walsh estate, Danny scouting ahead once more and finding Connor already waiting for them.

"I'm surprised you came." Connor rose a brow to Danny.

"I may not have the special magic you guys have, but I'm still Diane's friend." He said firmly, looking over and waving the others forward.

"I have to admit... I'm impressed." Connor said softly.

The others ran forward as they stopped at the back door of the house, the small wooden door inconspicuous compared to the grand entrance up front.

At exactly 8 the door opened, William's pale eyes filled with a fierce determination as he looked to Sebastian. "Come with me. The others, Diane is in the parlor. My cousin is along the way to my father, so we'll take care of her. My aunt is in the dining room, and my sister in law in the kitchen. Both of them are strong, but not as strong as my father or Kate. If you team up, you should be able to take them down."

Anne nodded, but nervously took Garreth's hand beside her, who squeezed hers reassuringly. He had thunderbrews with him, as well as a few dozen wiggenwelds. Just in case.

"Let's go." Sebastian said impatiently, taking his wand out. He looked to Ominis and gripped him tight, leaning his forehead against his regardless of who was in front of them. "Good luck."

"You too." Ominis said quietly before Sebastian let him go.

William's eyes went wide at the sight, glancing over to Connor who had a little smile. They shared a glance before Connor's smile widened, and William quickly looked away.

"Let's get this started." William said, disappearing back into the door.

Sebastian ran in after him, the two of them running down the hallway to confront Kate first.

Anne, Poppy, Garreth, Connor and Danny ran into the hallway after them, preparing to take on the two others.

"You two take on the sister in law, we've got the aunt."

Ominis came last, his eyes flaring with his wand-sight as he ran down the hall quickly to make his way to Diane. He had to wait until she was still, to make sure her father was distracted enough by the battle to be successful. His heart was pounding, hope and anticipation filling him.

William walked into the study, his eyes hard as he grinned wickedly to his cousin. Sebastian stood behind him, his wand out at his side in preparation as he confronted Kate.

"Will-" she turned to look at him, seeing Sebastian behind him and her eyes narrowed as she hissed angrily "traitor."

"Yup." William said, tensing as he prepared for Kate to start.

He wasn't disappointed, Kate yelling angrily as she released a powerful bombarda to start with.

"Depulso!" William shouted, pointing his wand at the ground and shooting into the air in the room.

Both Kate and Sebastian looked up in surprise as he shot up, Sebastian letting out a laugh of amusement at the strategy he'd never seen before. He brought up his shield, the bombarda uselessly blasting against the sphere around him.

"Accio!" William pulled himself through the air toward the far side of the room. "Flippendo!" He flipped midair to land on his feet on the other side of Kate in a split second move that made her turn around in shock.

"Wha-" she gasped in shock at the move, her eyes wide.

"CONFRINGO!" Sebastian yelled from behind her.
