THE RAVEN . | eric draven

s2 e10

i was still in jason's office. suddenly , i got a call from a number that i didn't know again. i answered it. i thought it would be marissa playing a joke on me or something.

"come and get your husband before it's too late." the voice belonged to a woman but it wasn't marissa. my heart was beating out of my chest.

"where are you holding him?!" i asked in a panic. "the place he died the first time. and if you don't hurry , it will be the last time." the woman hung up.

the first place where eric died was at him and shelly's apartment that hasn't miraculously been demolished yet.

"what did they want?" said jason. "it wasn't marissa .." i said. "but it could have been her mother."

i was like a deer in headlights but at the same time , i was in fight or flight mode. "i need to go alert pierce and lucy and i'll go get the girls from school."

jason was quickly dialing anastasia on his phone. i woke pierce up from his slumber in his room and i interrupted lucy seeing a dress. i brought them both to the living room.

"kids , i'm gonna go get emma and violet. and pierce .." i looked at him. "i want you to be the man of the house tonight. if something goes wrong , uncle chris and aunt eliza will come get you guys. do you understand?"

pierce had a look of fear on his face. it was the most emotion i've got out of him in a long time. "are you and dad gonna die?" my heart broke when he said those words because of the uncertainty of if me or eric were going to survive this battle.

"i don't know , honey. but i want you to be strong , okay? i love you." i said to him. all he did was nod his head and look down at the ground.

i left to go check the girls out of school early and i sped back to the lake house. anastasia was home early from work already.

all of us said our final goodbyes and hugged each other , not knowing when we will all see each other again. i took one last look of my children , feeling the sorrow and terror in their eyes.

me , jason , and anastasia all drove to eric's old apartment where he first died.

when we got to the room , eric was tied up to a chair. marissa was there with a gun in her hand. there were women with dark purple cloaks on with the hoods over their heads. three were on her left and three were on her right.

the raven flew onto my shoulder as i was holding my knife in my hand.

the owl flew onto jason's shoulder as he was holding his wand in his hand.

and lastly , the nightingale flew onto anastasia's shoulder as she was holding nothing in her hand. she didn't need a weapon to kill someone.

"what the fuck is this about , marissa? who called me on the phone?" i asked her. marissa stayed silent but had a smug look on her face.

a dark figure then emerged from the shadows , holding the crow in her hands so it wouldn't escape.

it was a woman who didn't look fully human. she had the eyes of a snake. she smiled at me with the fangs of a bat. her black horns were long. she was wearing a cloak like the other women who i assumed to be the witches in the cult but it was black.

it was morticia. queen of the unkindness.

pierce's pov
the thought of losing my parents despite of how terrible i was being to them drove me insane. i couldn't even imagine what emma had going on in her mind in that moment.

i was looking at the lake through the window. it was already dark. i couldn't help but be terrified. "i have to go there." i said to my sister , violet , and lucy.
