"Feel accursed, Smell of fear. Hissing, Thriving, Striking near," Seth casted. Seth manifested snakes onto the cold scientist building, hallway tile floor, to tangle around the demons feet. With a now clear path, Sabrina sprinted past them to the metal door behind them. Punching at the door, she was too distracted to see the demon behind break free. Which threw her back towards the standoff between her and Seth verses them.
"Fuck this," she grunted getting to her feet. "Seth, don't you have anything better than snake entangling?"
"This is way darker than anything I usually do," he snapped back at her. He blasted a charging demon away from him and turned to her. "I think you always forget this, but escape now."
"I'm not leaving you here," Sabrina kicked a demon through a wall.
"You won't be leaving me! You'd be slowing me down if ya don't, now bye" Seth charged forward. The demons took notice of this and charged back. Instead of colliding, which would normally ended up with Seth being squished by a demon thrice his size, as if a ghost, Seth phased through the form of the demon. He continued to do so until he disappeared through the metal door they were guarding.
"Shit," Sabrina said starting to turn and run, now being the only visible target. Shouting curses and spells of their own, the demons pursued. Sabrina spun on the heel of her boot, taking a swift ninety degree turn down another hallway. She thanked inertia which didn't bode so well with the more hefty demons. Using the extra time she gave herself she quickly kicked down the air vent cover and crawled inside.
She heard the demons curse at her nimble escape. With a smile on her face, she navigated the vents to an outer wall. Sabrina swiftly struck the cover sending it falling down the several dozen storing's high. Sabrina took a breath and let herself fall down the cliff, welcoming her element, the Atlantic Ocean, to engulf her.
…..
"So why was she so important to retrieve," Sabrina asked Nico back at his mansion. "I mean seriously what'd so special about her."
"I don't get why I even had to come," Seth moaned in the corner. He had his phone out texting Oliver about the night's events. How Seth single handedly broke this, Erica, girl out of her prison and through a top notch security.
"I wanted back-up," she explained. "You were more valuable than Jason to have around."
"You don't have any other friends?"
"Hush you two," Nico spat at the both. "Erica's worth will be proven soon. Now though it's almost dawn. You both might want to leave now."
"Thank you," Seth said walking out the door, mumbling something about having to learn teleportation spells. Sabrina rolled her eyes and followed him, giving Nico a wave at the door.
Nico turned around and walked up his grand staircase, now one main set of stairs made from ice. Nico liked having the ability to alter the architecture at his will. Walking deeper into his ice domain he quickly opened a door to show the resting body of Erica lying down on the bed he let her use.
"Well hello good sir," she said fixing her black hair. "I'm ever so grateful for the rescue that you serviced me with. Why would I ever so humbly deserve one?"
"No need to be in such a mood," Nico scuffed at her, opening the curtains, letting the sunrise fill the room. "I did after all organize your escape."
"If I had another night I would have been out myself," Erica spat sinking back under her covers. "The moon was not correct for the spell. In another twelve hours I would've been free. Now do you want the information I got or not and where is Dean?"
….
"I'm looking for my girlfriend, Erica," Dean said taking a sip from his coffee in the local downtown diner Jason took him too. "She has been missing for a month, and now it's time to find her."
"I think my brother can help with that," Jason said taking a deep gulp of his own. "He's a witch so a little magickal touch he can easily do a tracking spell of some sorts."
"She's a witch," Dean interjected into his mind. "She was out searching the woods for some paranormal activity and never returned. I think this Nico guy I have been hearing about is stirring, about in the unground. I'm going to start there."
"I think Sabrina knows a guy by that name," Jason said grabbing food off his freshly delivered plate. "Take a look at that waitress ya. Not Ms. America but not the ugliest I have ever seen."
Dean reached over the table and swatted the fork away from his mouth. "Don't eat that," he said inspecting it further. "It's poisoned." Dean plucked a leaf off the flower that 'decorated' the table and dropped it over the eggs. "Someone is not pleased we have met," he whispered watching the leaf corrode and die. He dropped a few dollars on the table and rose from the booth. "It's not safe here. Let's talk where it is."
….
Seth slumped down in his desk at class staring blankly ahead at the equations before him. "Statistics," he thought, "what a waste of a theory, I mean at least physics and the other sciences could help in the magickal world. This though, well I say that although it's interesting, I find it to be half made up." Seth was thankful he sat in the back for once, because that allowed him to work on some basics while no one looked. Placing the pencil before him, he relaxed his mind and thought of it levitating and floating beyond the bounds of gravity. A smile grew upon his face as it spun in a circle.
The pencil kept spinning faster and faster, using the centrifugal force to speed it up. Staring into the center, as guard had taught him, he started to see a nexus appear. Seth quickly opened his bottle of water and poured it over the nexus to gain better vision into it. Thankful that once again, the study of population samples distracted everyone.
Within the nexus he started let his mind gaze deeper into it. Upon his astral projection touching the outer edges of it he heard the sounds of war. A deeper look into it he saw a battle taking place. Demons were pillaging and invading The City and killing many. Sabrina stood with Jason defending innocent people from death. Oliver summoned his own demons as a counter defense, only to have more chaos erupt from the commoners not knowing which were good or evil.
A mounted figure who wore armor of black charged at him. The magicks around Seth wouldn't respond so at the last moment he leapt out of the way. Another quick dodge sent Seth into another rider. With a quick connection he was thrown across the street into a shop store front. He heard his older siblings cry out to him wanting the 'baby' to be ok.
"You won't win," a cloaked man said standing over him. "Even with this glance into the future you won't win. Many will die and there will be nothing you can do about it." The cloaked man unsheathed his sword. "No magick or Slayer will defeat The Hunt. Countless will die, and now a parting gift to you." The sword came down, stabbing Seth in the heart.
