Scarred

Epilogue

Stormy's attacker pushes her towards her apartment door and demands, "Is this your apartment?"

She nods her head. The attacker unwraps his arm from her waist and knocks on her door. She can feel his arm wrap back around her and squeeze her in closer. The attacker waits for the door to be open from the other side by Bailey.

Bailey opens the door and sees Stormy being held there by the guy. She lets out a scream; the attacker chucks Stormy into the apartment and grabs hold of Bailey. She falls to the ground with a loud thud and feels an excruciating pain radiating up her right arm; all she can hear is the gasp of her best friend as the man put grasps his hand over her mouth rendering it impossible for her to let out any more screams. She turns her body around and locks eyes with their attacker. She can remember seeing them eyes anywhere they are pitch black. He slams the door shut and locks it.

What is going on? Who is he? What do I do? She thinks as she get up from the ground and runs for the kitchen.

"Don't you dare? Slide that over here," says the guy, as she picks up a knife from the top draw.

She stares at him and shakes her head.

"SLIDE IT HERE NOW!"

She hesitates but witnesses him strengthening his hold on Bailey. She slides the knife across the ground to him.

"Who the hell are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am just yet."

"Tell me who you are now?"

"How's Tera? Did she die just like your parents?" as he moves Bailey closer towards him.

"How do you know about my parents dying? How do you know Tera?"

"I know how they suffered. Now let's get to the point or you little friend here will be as dead as your parents are," as he reaches down and picks up the knife.

"First tell me who you are?" as she inches closer to him.

"My name is Jerome," as he takes hold of the knife in his spare hand.

Oh no, this is the creepy guy from the hospital. He must have been the car from behind me. He followed me home and now is going to kill my best friend all because of my mother not sacrificing her children for the coven. He nearly killed my sister and now maybe the cause of me losing my best friend, she thinks as she realises whom Jerome really is.

"What do you want Jerome?" as she tries to figure out away of getting Bailey out of harms way.

"It's time for you to die like your parents. I know that your mother transferred all her power to you," as he puts the knife to Bailey's throat.

"What power? What are you even on about? Are you on drugs?" as if she didn't know what he was talking about.

I have to get him off Bailey, she thinks as she steps closer towards him.

"Don't taking any more steps or your friend here will be dead," as he moves the knife close to Bailey's chest.

She takes a step back, "Don't kill her please, you didn't answer my question."

"Don't play dumb. I know you are witch. You are from my coven. Well your mother was until I killed that bitch and her disgusting human thing. I had to figure that she would transfer her powers to one of her precious little daughters but who would have thought that she would give it to you? I knew from the moment I saw Tera not be able to stop me after the accident, that the powers must have been given to you," as he confesses to the accidents

"Tera, was the telling the truth."

"Give me your power. You were never meant to have survived being born."

"Why did you kill my parents?"

"Your mother was meant to give you girls to the coven when you were born. You were meant to be sacrificed to harvest the power for the whole coven."

"You're lying. You are not part of the coven."

"Yes, I am. I am the hunter of the witches. That disobeyed the coven law," as he tries to keep Bailey from moving.

"Well you aren't going to hunt me," as she makes a fireball.

"I'm going to kill you and your sister. You should have died in the accident with your mother."

"Why do you just keep referring to my mother?"

"Your mother was the last witch of her line. I loved killing her in the accident, and hearing her say that you girls will kill me."

"You bastard, you deserve to die," as tears welled up in her eyes.

"You can't kill me. No one can kill me," as he trails the knife down Bailey without even cutting her.

"You sick bastard. I will kill you!"
"Give me your powers or I will kill your little friend," as he places the knife ready to either stab or cut Bailey.

"No, let her go now. You are just a cruel bastard who killed two poor innocent people on their daughter's 18th birthday and then you nearly killed their daughter!"

"Your mother deserved to die. And so does your sister. If only she had died, it would be so much easier to kill you right now."

"I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" as she chucks a fireball at him.

"You little bitch!"

"Let her go now!"

"Give me your powers, you stupid little bitch!" as he pulls the knife out in front of him.

"No, let her go."

Jerome pulls the knife back into him and stabs Bailey right in the abdomen.

"You asked for it, little bitch," as he lets Bailey fall to the ground.

She watches her best friend hit the floor, the knife still penetrating her stomach and blood sleeping into her white blouse.

"Bailey," cries Stormy as she get down on the ground next to her and holds pressure on her stomach.

"Don't even try to save her," laughs Jerome.

She stands up angrier than ever and throws a massive fireball at him. The next thing she knew Jerome was up in flames yelling, "You bitch."

"Told you I would kill you," as watches him go up in flames.

It doesn't take long for his body to turn to ash. She quickly gets back on the ground to Bailey and tells her, "Everything will be okay."

She quickly dials for an ambulance and holds pressure on her best friends abdomen.

"Storm, if I don't make it. Don't fight with Tera. I love you both," whispers Bailey.

"You will make it, Bails. I'm not letting you die on my tonight."

She hears a knock on the door and gets up to answer it. She opens the door a tiny bit and looks out to see a tall strange man with dark purple eyes and mahogany hair standing there.

"Are you Stormy or Tera Montgomery?"

"I'm Stormy. And you are?" as she stands there with tears streaming down her face.

"I'm your father."
