Secrets - The secrets that protect us

Chapter 71

Luna

Malcolm screamed an order for Kane to protect them, but it was already to late. The magic went for them in full force and hit them, throwing them to the ground.

Luna had known that Malcolm was already aware where the castle was and that he was throwing the hints her way when they had still been at the ARIA. It was how she had figured out that the castle was in Vermont. The attacks that had taken place  around Vermont, the attack in Delaware, a state that had ghost towns and abandoned building she had been to, and the photo of the castle placed in her parent's house for her to find.

He had wanted her to find it and get the sword because he came and couldn't get it.
Emma and her would've eventually figured out where the castle was, the solution had been in front of her, already in her mind, even without Malcolm's clues, but it had sped up the process.

It's what she had explained to the others when they had wanted to organize everything for them to leave. They had made up a plan what they would do on the way here, with the ultimatum over their heads there was no other choice than to go.

So, it wasn't too much of a surprise when Malcolm appeared and snatched the weapons from her hand. No power could have prevented it. It was inevitable. The same way it was inevitable for Malcolm to fall into their trap.

The plan was simple, Luna and Emma would attack with the strongest convergence they had and Jackson and Lucas would go for the weapon. Caleb stood back in case they got attacked and Luna and Emma couldn't react fast enough.

When their magic disappeared, they could see the sword laying on their left in between the two groups. A deadly weapon between good and bad. Faith decided by its wielder.

Lucas and Jackson moved for the sword, her focus remained on Malcolm and Kane, the latter preparing to attack. Caleb already reacted, responding to the black shadow of magic that moved towards the two men and the sword with a stream of blue magic. It exploded, shook the ground from its might.

Jackson snatched the sword. At the same time. Mrs. Jones attacked him, red magic flew towards them. Luna responded to it with her own magic, causing the attack to go into the wall. Her mother's head turned to her, softened for a moment before she turned her body and focused on one of the men from the S.W.A.T. team.

Malcolm had used his supernatural speed and stood in front of Jackson, surprising him. Lucas made the first shot, more followed by the people around her, magic was used, people spread and she found herself in a fight with a warlock and a fairy.

Fire magic appeared in the hands of the male fairy, directing them towards her. Burning fire stormed her way. Her body moved instinctively. Magic rose inside of her body and broke free from her hands. White light hit both of the fireballs, and she let a ray of light fly their way. The warlock responded to it.

Their magic met, her magic pushing towards him and then being pushed back before pushing forward again. When the magic's energy got too much, it exploded. Immediately, the brunette warlock attacked, she created a shield to protect herself.

In the meantime, the blond fairy charged forward, a knife in his hand. He moved, his arm coming forward as he tried to cut her. She blocked the attack and brought her arm up for a side hook, hand fisted. The fairy dodged and attacked. A few punches and kicks were exchanged, no one landing a hit, before a black magic ball flew between them.

He used it to go in fast. Fire surrounded his fist and went for her stomach.
Stepping back, her back collided with someone else, locking her in place and causing her to take in the full might of the punch. She felt the fire burn against her stomach and the pain spreading through her body.
