Peacekeepers

Chapter 39: Incendio Solaris

Tw: blood, torture, revenge

Will looked at Connor and nodded, watching Kyle as he intently worked on his project. Now was the perfect time, while he was distracted.

They crept down the stairs quietly, waiting until they were clear of the railings before they started.

Connor sent a spell to shock Kyle out of his work, making him cry out in pain as it burned into his shoulder. He gave a wicked, wild smile at the panic on Kyle's face when he saw who had cast the spell, Will continuing on down the hall to cut him off when he tried to run.

And run he did, darting out of his seat toward the door as quickly as he could.

"Diffindo." William cast calmly, not even wincing when blood sprayed across his pants as he severed Kyle's legs at the knees sending him toppling to the ground with a loud bang with cries of pain and agony. He looked down in horror at his legs and raised his wand toward William. "Avada-"

"Confringo!" Connor sent the fireball at his hand holding the wand, making Kyle cry out and drop the wood as it smoldered from the flames.

"You little rat." Connor growled angrily, the fact that he had tried to kill William again making his blood boil.

"Now Connor..." William hadn't seen Connor this angry before.

"No 'now Connor'. This little bitch is getting what's coming to him." Connor pressed his boot against Kyle's chest, making him wheeze.

"What, are you gonna kill me?" Kyle laughed up at him with a smirk.

"Yes." Connor growled down at him with fierce eyes.

Kyle obviously hadn't expected that answer, his eyes going wide and his breath shuddering.

"You're surprised?" Connor laughed. "You nearly killed Ominis and Diane, you tried to kill Danny, and you nearly killed me. You burned William..." he gritted his teeth as he ground his boot into his chest. "You really thought you'd get away with that?"

"That damn potion maker is too good at his job." Kyle growled angrily. "You all should have died that night."

"Okay, have at him." William waved a hand, giving Connor permission. "He threatened Garreth. Nope."

Connor let out a cackle of glee. "Hear that, Kyle? I get to have my fun with you. You really are stupid, aren't you?"

"What?" Kyle breathed out, looking up to him in fear.

"You remember what I told you, right?" Connor said with a wicked grin, taking his boot off him to back up, putting an arm out to make William back up a few steps as well. "If you went near the people I love again... you'd burn."

"Wait- wait wait!" Kyle yelled, trying to crawl toward the door.

"Incendio Solaris." Connor grinned wildly, pointing his wand toward Kyle.

A ring of glowing light started surrounding Kyle, who watched the traveling line with wide eyes as he tried to scramble outside of it, but as soon as the circle completed it was far too late. Flame erupted in a pillar from within the circle, Kyle's screams sounding from within the fire. It was powerful enough to start burning through the ceiling, the wood charring before pieces started falling around them in burnt charcoals.

"You kind of overdid it!" William shouted, avoiding a falling plank of wood as the loud sound of the fire made it hard to talk.

"No such thing!" Connor laughed gleefully, his dark blue eyes wide as he watched the fire erupting from the spell, a wide satisfied smile on his face. Kyle's screams continued to be heard for a few moments until they finally died off, and Connor cut off the flames with a swipe of his wand.
