Chapter Forty-Nine

Her father walked in unable to wipe the smirk of his face. Constance glared at him for an second with the sort of glare that sent most people quaking in fear.

"Get out now, neither of us want you here" she said

He looked over her shoulder at his wife and smirked. "Good Work Locasta" he said ignoring his child completely.

Constance stood there for an few seconds confused but then she realised this had all been an trap from the very beginning. Her parents had not broken up at all it was just an plot to get her to come.

"You lied to me again! What the hell is wrong with you he is an idiot!" Constance shouted at her mother.

"Don't call me an idiot girl, you are so stupid I can't believe you fell for it" he said. Constance shook her head then reached her hand into her pocket pulling out the ancient mobile phone.

"I am calling the police" she said as she flipped the phone up and started to dial the number before it was pulled out of her hand.

"Give that back right now" she shouted. He looked at her and threw the phone at the wall missing his daughters head by inches. Constance opened her mouth in shock as she bend down picking up the two broken pieces of the phone. That was it she was trapped with no way to contact anyone.

"Now I think we understand each other" he said

"What the hell do you want?" Constance said standing up annoyed

"You never listen do you, we have warned you to stay away from the child" he said

"And I told you it is not going to happen" she replied. Her father nodded his head at her mother as she said this. Her mother stood up walked to the kitchen did something Constance couldn't see then went and sat down again.

"People know you stupid ugly child" he said

"Who knows exactly?" she asked confused.

"Do you know Felicity Nightstar? He asked

"Not personally no" she admitted

"But you know who the Nightstars are?" he asked

"Of course I do one of the old witching families like the Hallows but all of them attended Pentangles so I have never met one personally" she told him

"Well that woman told me she knew you had an child and if someone in that family knows the whole world will know soon" he said

"Father I really do not care at all" she said

"None of this would have happened if you had not jumped into bed with some teenager, we didn't raise you like that" her father said

"You know nothing about my relationship" she started

"I know you were way to young to be dating anyone" he said

"And did you ever ask yourselves why? Maybe it felt nice to have someone who liked me for an change maybe it felt nice to feel loved and not just an waste of space" she said

"You are an huge waste of space do everyone an favour and resign from that school before you ruin anyone else's lives" he told her.

"I would not do that because despite what you think I care about my pupils and enjoy teaching them and watching them grow oh and your words don't affect me anymore I have shown my worth, I am not scared of an pathetic little boy like you" she replied showing she no longer feared the man because in truth she didn't.

They both stood there for an few seconds glaring at each other before he slapped her hard around the face. Her mother flinched at the sound of his hand hitting her flesh but didn't say anything. Constance turned to look at him her cheek bright red but not touching it as that would give him the satisfaction of knowing it was painful.

"Oh yeah you have to use your fists to make yourself heard, how pathetic can you get" she said not showing the slap had hurt her at all even though it had.

He grew more angry and this time he punched her busting her lip which started to bleed but she refused to change her expression she stood there blood dripping down her cheek not daring to touch it and give him the satisfaction as she would not show fear or pain. She glared at him for an few seconds then spat in his face.

"You are going to pay for that" he said as he stormed past her to the other side of the caravan picking up an giant plastic bottle filled with liquid. He glared at the girl then started pouring the liquid all over.

"What are you doing?" she asked confused until the smell of the liquid reached her nose and she stopped. Petrol.

"What the hell are you doing?" she said as he threw the liquid everywhere in sight her mother hung her head but didn't try and stop the crazy man.

Constance then realised her head was hurting and she started to cough. She looked around to see what the problem was and then she saw it. In the kitchen the hose for the boiler had been pulled out sending carbon monoxide gas into the air. Constance walked back to her father her eyes wide.

"What are you doing you are going to get us all killed!" she said as her mother started to cough as the deadly gas entered her body.

"You brought shame on this family, you ruined our reputation and now people know it is going to get out, let's see how well the girl does when she is back in care because her mummy is gone" he said with an smirk.

"Mum ….mum do something..." she said as they all started to choke more she knew this might be an way to scare her but she couldn't take that risk. Years ago she wouldn't have cared she didn't have much to look forward to in life anyway but now it was different she had an child to look after an child who she had only just gotten back. An child that needs her.

She watched as her father pulled something out of his pocket. An lighter. One flick of the thing and it will be to late to do anything. She had to distract him enough until she figured out an way out of this mess.

"Dad...don't do it, I mean if you do you will be stuck with me" she said trying to make him see it was an stupid move.

"We have to kill of our bloodline so unfortunately that means you too" he said not even realising if he did kill them all they would still have the bloodline in Mildred.

"Is your reputation really worth this?" she said coughing as the gas affected her.

"You don't seem to get it, our reputation is everything without it there is no point in being here" he said.

"It's just an stupid reputation, it doesn't matter what other people think of us anymore" Constance said as she watched his hand holding the lighter carefully.

"What will it do to the girl when her mummy dies and leaves her again?" he said with an laugh.

"You evil man she is just an child!" she shouted as loudly as she could even though her throat felt tight as she did not understand how he can be so happy at the idea of an child in pain.

"Well we wouldn't of have to go to drastic measures if you had been sensible" he told her. She coughed more her head hurting as she looked at him.

"Please I have an daughter let me out" she shouted practically begging as she tried to push past him to escape but he wouldn't budge he just stood in front of the door blocking her exit.

"Alatar...let her go the poor child has been through enough" her mother said standing up of the sofa and going against her husband for the first time.

"LOCASTA, HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT" he shouted. Her mother whimpered an little as he shouted and sat back down going silent again.

"Father let me out of here I can't breathe" Constance said as the gas was starting to make her feel faint.

"You have to remember something, you did this girl, we wouldn't be here now if it was not for you" he told her.

"That isn't true and you know it I was never good enough anyway" she spluttered out as she coughed.

"Well you are right about that I never wanted an daughter because if there is one thing I have learned it is that woman are weak and none of them come weaker than you" her father said as she saw him starting to press the button on the lighter.

Somehow knowing she needed to get out for Mildred gave her an strength. She needed to stay safe for her daughter as she was the important one in all this so despite the fact she felt like she was about to collapse she gathered all her magical strength.

"I am not weak,strength comes in different ways" she said flicking her fingers and sending an spell at the unsuspecting man. He flew across the caravan away from the woman and her mother and an barrier was formed blocking them from him. This was an intense bit of magic. She ran to the door keeping her fingers on him.

"Mum quick come on let's get out of here" she said

"I can't..." she said sadly

"Come on we have to get out of here don't you realize how dangerous he is?" Constance said worried.

She looked over at her husband who was starting to fight against the shield blocking him. Constance was using an lot of her strength in order to produce the shield and she knew she couldn't do it much longer.

"You go, save yourself" she said

"Mum just come with me" she said as she struggled to hold him off in her weakened state. The shield was starting to break.

"I am not coming with you Constance" she stated

Constance had to think. If she left her mother would be in an lot of danger and she wasn't sure she would be able to get help in time. But if she stayed herself she would be in danger too and she had an daughter to think about. She knew it would destroy the girls life if she left her she had to live for her child. That is why after the shield broke before her father could react she threw open the caravan door and ran out leaving her mother in there alone with her father.
