Coven: Witch Hunters

Brawl

Thalia put her back against the wall and slowly sat down.
She looked down thinking of Cleo, she didn't want to go look at her.
"What do we do now?" Thalia asked.
Before Epiphany could answer the next bedroom door opened. Nadine came out with a worried look in her eyes.
"What's happening? Who's attacking us?" She asked.
"Witch hunters." Thalia said.
"Has anyone been hurt? Where's Jeanne I don't see her here." Nadine said, her words trembling when saying her sisters name in fear that she's been hurt.
Epiphany walked to the edge of the staircase and started to swing the chain again trying to keep Michael unconscious.
"Both Jeanne and Cleo are dead." Thalia said.
"W-What?" Nadine said.
"I don't know what do."
"We have to wake our parents, how are they still asleep!?" Nadine exclaimed. She wanted to distract herself from the fact that Jeanne is dead.
Thalia arose from her sad seat.
"Helen gave them sleeping medicine so that they wouldn't have trouble staying asleep." Thalia said.
"Well let's go wake them up!" Nadine said.

In the greenhouse Fantasia, Samuel and Helen sat quietly tucked behind some plants.
"I want to see my mom." Samuel said.
Fantasia had gotten out of her state of shock and was now calmed. She turned to Helen, "they're still sleeping." She said.
"Oh dear. I hope they're safe."
"They are, in fact they are going to be waken up any second now by Nadine and Thalia." She said.
"Nadine! I have to see her and mom." Samuel said.
"I would never forgive myself if something happened to you." Helen said trying to get Samuel to stop persisting.
Samuel looked down. He knew he had go inside, he felt useless hiding out. For his whole life he felt lesser than because he never had a power. And now in a time of need he really is useless.
Fantasia looked at him. She knew what he was thinking. She knew what would happen next.
Samuel looked to the side, where the door was just about 20 feet away. If I ran I could make it! He thought. Helen wouldn't catch me. She wouldn't leave Fantasia alone.
Helen just had her eyes closed and centered her breathing.
Fantasia slowly put her hand up and tapped Samuel. He turned to her. She mouthed to him: go
He knew that if Fantasia said he could, that he should. He felt the ambition rise in him like fire.
He quickly got up and ran towards the door.
"Samuel!" Helen called out, about to get up and go after him.
Fantasia tugged at her arm. "It's fine."

Thalia and Nadine had awoken their parents, Francesca, Augustus, Agatha, Ambrose, and Flavius.
Flavius and Ambrose stayed with Thalia in the room to treat her wounds. Agatha, Francesca, Augustus and Nadine went out into the hall.
Epiphany was now next to the Witch Hunter who she was manipulating and keeping in a trance. Ernst was in the living room keeping an eye out.
Friedrich was starting to come back from his search in the basement. They had both heard the commotion with Michael and have expected him to be dead.

Next to the living room was the door that lead outside.
In came the boy from the greenhouse, Samuel. Ernst saw him, the child! I can't let him get into the reach of the witches!
Samuel ran past the hall table where a candle suddenly lit by his side. He looked at it for a second. That's not normal.
He continued and started to go the stairs. But he hadn't noticed who was behind him. Ernst followed him to the stairs. He shoved Epiphany making her tumble over the bodies and an arrow flew right past her falling figure. Friedrich coming up the basement! Augustus acted quick and ran towards him. Ernst was able to grab Samuel up the stairs and ran past Nadine, Agatha and Francesca.

"Samuel!" Francesca screamed and tried grabbing her son as Ernst ran past  her and shoved her. She didn't fall but she hit Agatha who fell along with Nadine. Francesca followed them back up into the hall.
"Give me back my son!"
Ernst reached the end of the hall where the window was and turned around.
"This is no child of yours!" He said. His voice more deep and powerful than hers.
"This is a child of the lord!" He yelled.
Samuel cried and pounded at Ernst but his blows were useless against the big man.
Ernst pulled out a gun and pointed it at Francesca.

At the bottom of the staircase Michael began to regain consciousness. Epiphany got up and went into the kitchen and started to get his attention.
"Hey! I'm right here."
"You haven't caught me yet!"
Michael got up and slowly started walking her way. She couldn't let him become fatal to Agatha or Nadine, or Francesca.
Agatha and Nadine got up.
Nadine was going to help Epiphany and Agatha was going to help Francesca.
Augustus tumbled down the stairs to the basement interlocking a grip of arms with Friedrich.
"Witch!" Friedrich spouted.
"Hunter!" Augustus grunted and thee friedrich a few feet back, he fell on his side a small dagger pierced his thigh.
"Ugh!" Friedrich grunted.
"Leave us alone!" Augustus yelled at him.
Friedrich looked up at him in complete disgust. 2 men, one better than the other. He was a disappointment.
Friedrich stood up and took out the crossbow, but it wasn't loaded.
Augustus charged at him again and slapped the crossbow out of his hands.
Friedrich pushed Augustus away and tackled him onto the ground. Augustus rebelled by throwing a severe punch to his chest.
Friedrich gasped for air but acted quickly. He looked next to him and grabbed a large metal Can and swung it at Augustuses head.
Augustus fell unconscious. His forehead now leaking blood.
Friedrich got up and looked around then back at Augustus.
His breaths were slow. He went back up the basement steps and checked the situation outside.
No one was in his view. He want to do something. He was going to do something. He quickly went back down and grabbed Augustus and dragged him out of the basement.
Then out the front door...
