The Gilbert Witch 5

An Unblinking Death

THE BAYOU

Hayley and Eve are in their shack, where Eve is helping Hayley prepare for giving birth.

I'm outside playing with the kids.

We're playing tag.
And I flashed away from the boy who's it.

Hey that's cheating! "He complained.

Is not! "I stated.

I stuck my tongue at him.
And he smiled.

Emely. "Elijah called.

I turned around to see him smiling at me amused.

What? "I asked.
Aren't you suppose to be watching hayley? "He asked.

She's inside. I'm just playing with the kids. "I told him.

He nodded and went to grab her.

Later

Me and Elijah meet with Jackson and Oliver, along with Eve and Hayley.

You're making a grave mistake. "Elijah told them.

So, you're just worried about us. Is that it? "Oliver asked sarcastically.

Look, Elijah. We know all about your brother's reputation, but if there is even a chance that these rings can help us take control of our curse -- "Jackson started.

Our gift -- "Oliver interrupted.

Then, honestly, we don't care what he's really after. Won't have to. "Jackson said.

I see. There are those in the Quarter who will consider this a great provocation. "Elijah said.

Apparently, most of them see us breathing the same way. "Oliver said.

A man in a motorbike rides up to us.

I notice something off about the man.

Elijah! "I yelled.

He reflexively tackles him, just as the motorbike explodes.

With my magic I put up a shield containing the explosion.

Some people are thrown backwards in the small blast.

I felt my eyes change.

Hayley! Elijah! "I yelled in pain.

The explosion is pushing against the sheild.

Elijah picks himself up off the ground. His clothes and skin are all singed and covered in ash.

He looks at me.

You need to get them all out of here. I can't hold it much longer. "I groaned
He nods.

He speeds everyone far off.

5 Mins Later

He sped back.
