Alpha Centaurus : Ascendent

Chapter 10 -Wonderland

For the next few hours a lot of unexpected things happened like weather change from snow over sun and rain to extreme hotness and all over again from the top . The worst were dead bodies falling down like flies and people were getting worse and worse any minute . Blanca came with Jim who was in a really bad condition according to Roxanna , but wasn't dead either . It was alarming for them to see one of them being that sick but still couldn't understand how did Oana and Victor got in that condition at first place . They had the same symptoms and in the same state except that Jim was actually dying . Blanca was holding his hand and crying because it remained her of the day she barely survived and she couldn't do anything . She felt liquid dripping of her face and thought it were her tears until she saw her blood on sheets .Reflexively , she wiped her nose and looked at Ella while she was losing her consciousness . Her ears were bleeding as well and she was very pale and cold . Roxanna check her again just as she did with Jim and one more time Oana and Victor and then she said to Ella :

„I think I know what is it and it is bad, really bad !"

Ella was waiting impatiently :

„So ? Go on !"

„It is about and herb that can kill a lo of people and everyone can find it . The thing is that some are extremely poisonous and some not so . I can tell the difference,but you probably can't . The last case was over two centuries ago in Rosemary and it killed everyone,except one member of Xander family. He found a cure by accident and didn't know what was it until he got better but everyone else were dead including his family . The cure is rare and beautiful flower Echinacea purpurea and it is different from the one you can find in the wood ; the color is between purple and pink and a middle part is bright orange ."

Ella got excited :

„Where can we find that flower ?"

„Nowhere ! He burned it as well as nightshade with dark purple berries so something like that could never happen again !"

Ella pointed on four of them :

„Then ,how do you explain this ?"

„A witch with a great will power can grow it again ,but it's a darker and energetically heavy process , so I could never do that but Jade can just as she did with opening the doors of the universe. She is well-known for using rules of nature and universe in her favor ."

Ella sat down on the bed when Marcel and Theo got in the room :

„We just check other covens and every element is sick , but mostly fire . There are a lot of dead Cenaturus ,more than others. Roni is sick also ."

Ella was in shock and didn't know what to think. After a minute she asked Roxanna :

„Can it be transferred from one another ?"

„With humans ,yes ! It acts like a virus and eventually it kills you,a week maximum after infection and it transfers with a touch more than a five seconds . On the other hand , supernatural get infected faster buy inhaling or injection directly in blood after a day maximum and symptoms are strong. Good thing is that you can handle it longer three weeks or a little bit more but you also die at the end . That is how it was , but now .... Oana and Victor are in this condition for a while and they are in between,but look at two of them and others .... They must be poisoned before to die now and would definitely have a symptoms ,but they didn't and they don't look so good !"

When Monica opened her eyes,she was in a Holland's backyard buried in the ground all the way up to her neck and it freaked her up especially because it was night and she was alone . Holland ran to check on her when he heard screams and as he came in a yard Monica was gone and he saw an empty hole. He really hoped that she is somewhere in near because she must be confused and might hurt someone . On the ground were fresh marks of cracking so he followed it around his house and he was sure that he made more than three circles . It made him worried.
