The group sat on the train, chattering happily (Gaia now tuning them out to draw), the sound of rain pelting the windows in the background, Maia asleep as she starts mumbling something incoherent.
"Shh, you're going to wake her." Sable whispered to Fawn and Y/n- who were hovering over Maia, trying to stifle their giggles as they drew on her face using ink Gaia had so kindly 'lent' them (in reality they repeatedly asked her for some ink and Gaia became fed up and threw the pot at their heads).
"We're not gonna wake her." Y/n hissed as she finished adding details to the unibrow whilst Fawn drew a monocle on her face.
"Oh my god." Sable groaned as the two added the strangest drawings to Maia's face. Just as they were about to finish the moustache they had been drawing, the train slowed to a stop (Which resulted in the girls becoming distracted and the moustache looking more like a goatee).
"What is going on?" Y/n asked looking around "It is far too early for us to be there yet."
"Perhaps we've broken down." Fawn suggests.
"It's a magic train, Fawn, how on earth would we have broken down?" Sable asked raising a brow.
"I dunno Sable maybe the train-" Fawn began before cutting herself off with a yelp as the group's luggage fell off the racks, nearly hitting her in the head.
"Wha's goin' on?" Maia asked, finally waking up from her nap as the lamps in the carriage flickered out causing the girls to scream.
The group was left in complete darkness, Y/n quickly grabbed her wand from her pocket to cast the wand lighting charm so they could at least see each other. Y/n gently grabbed Maia's hand, Fawn grabbed Sable's (albeit less gently than Y/n had) and Gaia had finally placed her sketchbook down. They felt the temperature in the room drop, their breathing hitching as a cloaked figure appeared at their compartment door. A grey, slimy, decaying hand reached out and slid open the door as the group huddled together, clutching hands. The cloaked figure entered their compartment, the hand disappearing into the cloak.
The figure made a move toward Y/n and Maia, who clutched each other's hands tighter out of instinct, holding their breath in anticipation, their eyes rolling to the back of their heads, now unable to breathe as they felt their life force pulled out of them. Y/n heard pained screams mixed with animalistic growls, her grip on Maia's hand slipped as the two girls grew pale and the figure slowly lowered its hood, until Gaia pulled her wand out and muttered an incantation, resulting in the inkpot used to draw on Maia's face earlier, exploding with a loud 'BANG'.
The explosion directed the figure's attention away from the girls, the two dropping to the ground as the figure finally left their compartment. Fawn and Sable immediately rushed to their side in a panic.
"And there goes my good ink pot." Gaia sighed before looking at the two girls lying on the ground.
