— 31. A Hand
On the way home from their daycare, Hayden and Hunter held their mother's hand as they approached their apartment building. Hayden stopped suddenly, turning to see two men trailing close behind them."Mommy," Hayden called out, knowing his mother hadn't noticed.
"What is it?" Cadence asked, only to turn to see what Hayden was looking at.
She sighed and shook her head slightly. Bending down, she smiled as she stared both her sons in the eyes. "Boys, go inside," She insisted, handing Hunter the apartment key, "I'll be up in a sec."
Both boys nodded, immediately running upstairs.
Letting out a loud huff, Cadence turned, smiling widely as the two men inched closer to her. "I feel special that Francesca has sent people to stalk me," She commented as she began to walk past them, "I hear you guys have been watching Cami too."
"Francesca knows you're the one murdering supernatural creatures in New Orleans," One of the men commented as they followed Cadence in her path away from the apartment.
She was muttering something under her breath, not that they could really hear it.
"The state you left the last few in, you'd think it was a beast that ripped them apart," The other wolf added in, earning a smirk from Cadence.
"And yet, you decided to poke the wasp's nest anyway," She sighed dramatically as she turned to face them, now holding a hammer.
One of the men laughed, looking around at the fact they were standing on a busy street. "In front of all these people? Even you're not that crazy."
"Who says they can see you?" Cadence suddenly questioned, much to the duo's alarm.
"Hello!" She screamed out and no one in streets seemed to react, "Help! Help!"
She turned to the men, looking satisfied by their reactions. "See? No one's gonna hear your screams as I rip you apart."
"It's gonna be your screams--" He began to say, only to grunt in pain as she struck him across the face with the hammer.
"What was that?" She asked tauntingly and raised her hand. She lifted her hand toward the other werewolf, who cried in pain as he clutched his forehead, "I didn't hear you. Can you say it again?"
"You crazy bitch," He gritted his teeth, unable to fight against her magic as she pulled a knife out of boot.
"Bitch? Yes. Crazy? I call it justified," She corrected him as the walked over to the other man. She grabbed him by the hair, pulling his head back. She smiled at the other man, slicing his friend's throat without hesitation.
She backed up, watching as his body hit the ground. She turned to the second werewolf, who was forced to remain on his knees.
"Your leader and her alliance with the French Quarter witches put my sons in danger. You tried to kill them. You people are the reason Hunter has nightmares every night. The scary monsters who tried to kill two children. Two innocent child who didn't ask to be born with so much power," She explained, kneeling to be at eye view with him, "You tell Francesca Guerrera that her little slaves need to leave me the fuck alone or I will keep killing them. I'll kill each and every one of you and then I'll come for her. You tell her that."
