Rory's POV
So according to Ethan and Benny, something evil was loose in White Chapel, and they had to stop it. Rory figured they were just saying that to get rid of him, it wouldn't have been the first time, but he decided to keep a look out for anything out of the ordinary just in case.
He was walking home now, trying to think of something he could do, when an ambulance raced by.
"That's the seventh one in less than an hour," the speaker was one of the two women on the other side of the street, "Any ideas on what's going on?"
"Not a clue, but if I had to guess it's either a horrible accident, or some deadly diseases."
Seven ambulances? If that didn't qualify as out of the ordinary, he didn't know what would. He pulled out his phone and called Ethan. He picked up on the third ring.
"Rory this better be important," he said.
"Don't worry; it is," Rory said, "You know how you told me to look out for anything weird? Well apparently seven ambulances have been called in the last hour."
"Seven? Are you sure?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah, should I take a closer look?"
"Sure, just don't draw any attention to yourself, we don't want to tip this thing off that we're on to it," he said, and then he hung up.
Rory decided to try and get a hold of Katie, just to see if she was okay. The phone rang for a while, and then went to voicemail.
He tried again, but this time it didn't even ring, just went straight to voicemail. He tried her house, and her dad picked up.
"Hello,"
"Hey, it's Rory. Is Katie around?"
"No, I just back from work, I assumed she was with you," he said, "Did you try her cell?"
"Yeah, but I got her voicemail," Rory said, "I had wanted to tell her about all the ambulances, there's been seven of them in the last hour."
"Well if she shows up I'll let you know, but I have to go now," something seemed off about his voice, but Rory wasn't sure what.
He knew he had to find Katie, so he took to the skies; a bird's eye view always made it easier to find people.
As he was flying he noticed the ambulance he saw earlier, it had stopped and was loading a passenger, there was also a news truck.
He strained to hear what the reporter was saying.
"This is the seventh out break today, of a group of diseases that were previously thought to be dead. What's worse is that previous vaccinations don't seem to have any effect on whether or not you get it. Thankfully, none of these cases are incurable, and the victims should be returning home in about a week..."
So people were getting sick, weird. Rory figured Ethan may want to know, so he pulled out his phone, but then he spotted Katie heading for...the graveyard? He flew down and landed next to her, making her jump.
"You okay?" he asked, "There's been a bunch of out breaks of weird diseases today, maybe you should head home."
"I'll be fine," she snapped, "I can't go home yet."
"Why not? Are you having a fight with your parents?"
"I have work to do," she said harshly, "Now leave me alone!"
Rory was hurt, why was she being so mean?
"Are you sure you'll be alright?" he asked, she might be mad at him, but he still cared about her.
"Aren't your ears working?" she was shrieking now," I said go away, you stupid leach!"
Katie's POV
I've never seen anyone look sadder than Rory did right then, it was breaking my heart and his was probably shattered beyond repair. He ran off, and I swear if vampires could cry, he would be.
So many people were getting hurt today, not just Rory, but all those hex victims too and who knows what will happen when she reawakens her friends...actually...I do know what will happen. Death, destruction, and suffering and it'll be all my fault. Sure I didn't mean to release an evil witch, but I did all the same and out of every horrible thing I've ever done, that's what I regret the most.
Feeling guilty? Don't worry, when I get through with this world a broken heart will be the least of his worries.
I hope you rot in Hell.
Ha, I created Hell.
I was going to kill her.
How? I have complete control, you can't do anything.
It was true, awful, but still true. I couldn't do anything as long as she was controlling me; I'd have to fix that if I wanted to do anything about her plan.
Good luck with that.
Damnit! How was I supposed to plot against her if she kept reading my mind?
That's just is dearie, you can't.
We reached the graveyard and she/we started inspecting the tombstones.
What are you doing?
I'm trying to find bodies that haven't had time to rot.
Why not just use live humans?
I could, but then I'd be forcing my sisters to put up with annoying little mortals, like you.
I mentally sneered at her.
She stopped in front of one of the tombstones.

Perfect.
She stooped down and picked up some dirt, then spit in it to make mud.
Ok, ew.
Shut up.
She then drew a funny looking symbol on the tombstone; it was a circle with a star and several other shapes I couldn't identify inside it. It also had some odd looking letters around it.
What the hell is that?
It's called a pentagram. How do you not know what a pentagram is?
Why would I? I'm 'a foolish mortal', remember?
How could I forget? But even still, most mortals can recognize it as an evil symbol.
Sorry, but I'm afraid times have changed. People aren't really worried about witches anymore.
Then people are fools.
She knelt beside the tombstone and started flipping through the pages of her book. I'd almost forgotten about that old thing, the source of all this misery.
She seemed to have found what she was looking for, though it looked like gibberish to me, because she opened her mouth to begin the spell.
"Katie? What on earth are you doing?"
A/N There is no excuse for how late this update is. None. Out of all my stories, this one has the most reviews, and I can't thank you all enough for those. I hope you all haven't forgotten about this story, I just felt like I'd written myself into a corner, and I wasn't sure how to get out of it. Looking at it now I don't know what I was thinking, I guess I had wanted to make it longer? Anyway, I'm going to try and finish this up for all of you, I hope you can forgive me for the crappy updating speed. I'm sorry, really, I am.
Disclaimer: I only own Katie and this particular plot line.
