Trapped in Apocalypse Chapter 2
2018
Coco Vanderbilt joined the coven. Her father donated a large amount the the academy. She was older than most girls in the coven.
When Cordelia introduced Coco to Amy and Hannah (Who were in the same room), Amy took off, leaving the room.
"Nothing personal." Hannah said. "She's just tired." She soon followed after her.
"That's two people from Cult." Amy whispered to Hannah in the next room over. She bent over, panting heavily.
"Calm down. She's not the same characters from Cult. She seems nice."
"It's not about that." Amy said coldly. "I don't know what's going to happen next."
Hannah leaned against the wall and folded her arms. "None of us do." She let out a small sigh. "You don't see me freaking out about it. We're with the witches. We're stronger in numbers. Coco only adds to our power. This is a good thing."
Amy took a few breaths before standing back up straight. "I hope so. But this American Horror Story we're talking about. It's never that straightforward."
Amy visited her brother upstairs in his room. He was removing his tie from his uniform.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey," he replied. He toss his tie on to the dresser.
"We have a new coven member." Amy informed him.
He sighed and sat on the bed. "Great. Another person to clean up after."
Amy squinted her eyes. "We don't work you that hard. Kyle is here too."
He shook his head and removed his laced up shoes. The smell of his feet filled the room.
Amy leaned back. "Ugh." She made a face.
"You know at the boys school, they have these inserts that make any shoe comfortable." He said.
Amy folded her lip and sat down in a chair. "You haven't really opened up about your trip there? Was is... good?" She looked down at the floor and figitted with her fingers.
"It's a real school, you know? Wasn't expecting it to be so real. It's underground, which is something."
"Woah," she said, insincerely.
"They have very different rules there. Different, ugh, morals." He lifted the side of the lip when he said morals.
"You haven't really talked about it before." Amy said. "Did uh, did you enjoy it?"
Harry chuckled. "Wait, you think I didn't talk about this place because I liked it?"
"I mean you seem different. Are you thinking about going there?"
Harry waved his hand around. "Hold on. Hold up. I haven't talked about Hawthorn because they are terrible."
Amy smiled, "really?"
"The way they talk about witches- they hate you all." Harry said. "I couldn't stand them."
"Oh that's wonderful news." Amy clasped her hands together. "I mean that's awful that they hate us but great that you weren't corrupted."
Harry chuckled again.
Despite Harry's claims, Amy and Hannah were still panicked when the academy received a letter from Hawthorn. "Cordelia!" Amy shouted when she read the address.
The letter was an invitation for the supreme to visit the school. Zoey, Mertyl, and Amy went with her.
"Why can't I go to?" Kate asked Cordelia at the dinner table.
"We can't all go." Zoe said. "Someone us to watch our girls."
"They're not going to burn the house down." Kate said.
"Be glad one of us is going," Amy said to Kate. She jerked her head to the side.
Zoe narrowed her eyes towards Amy.
"This isn't about Harry, is it?" Hannah asked. She put her fork down.
"They didn't say. They only asked for my presence, not Harry's." Cordelia said.
The witches finished their meal in silence.
Cordelia, Zoe, Amy, and Mertyl headed to the Hawthorn school for exceptional young men the next day. They took a plane from New Orleans to San Francisco.
On the car ride from the airport to the school, Amy couldn't help but gaze out the window at the scenery. "It's the zoo!" She gasped again.
Zoe smiled and turned her head.
"We're not here on vacation." Cordelia said.
"Can't we have some fun while we're here?" Zoe asked. "It's not like this meeting will provide any enjoyment."
"That's for certain." Mertyl said. "If there's time before our flight, perhaps we can visit a place or two in town." She turned to Cordelia.
"If there's time. But the meeting comes first. No promises." Cordelia said.
"Chinatown." Amy pointed out.
Zoe leaned over and peaked out behind her.
The witches sat on one side of a long table and the warlocks sat on the other side. There were four on both side. Amy recognizes two of them, or the actors at least. One was from the Hotel season. The other was from a crime show. Her heat rate increased.
Zoey looked over and placed her hand over hers.
The warlocks informed Cordelia that there was a boy at their school with exceptional powers. "He is the only level four warlock we've ever had. He could raise to the level of supreme." One warlock, Ariel, said.
"A man will never be supreme." Cordelia said. "Men are simple not equal to women in magic."
"Not equal in many other ways too." Mertyl said.
Amy chuckled quietly.
"His name is Michael Langdon." Baldwin said. "You should give him a chance."
Amy tilted her head when he mentioned the name.
"It's not fair that you get the power, the title, and Harry." John said. "He should be with people like him."
"Harry is a discussion for another day." Ariel said. "We are here today because of Michael."
"He should have a chance. We should conduct the test of the seven wonders." Behold said.
"The answer is no." Cordelia said.
"Why do you get make that call?" Baldwin asked.
"Because I'm the f...ing supreme!" Cordelia said. With those words, she adjourned the meeting.
"Well that meeting was a bust." Zoe said.
"How much time do we have before our flight back?" Amy asked Cordelia.
"Four hours. I guess the warlocks thought the meeting would last longer." Cordelia said.
"So we can be tourists?" Amy asked.
Cordelia looked at her hopeful face and sighed. "Oh, alright."
"Yay!" Amy cheered.
Amy rationed their time well, in order to fit as much as possible in a short period of time. They all went to the San Francisco zoo. Zoey and Amy had the most fun there. Cordelia and Mertyl walked behind them, speaking in hushed tones.
"Are those meercats?" Zoey asked.
Amy gasped and ran over the little creatures. "It's Timon."
After an hour at the zoo, they took a cable car to Chinatown. They all bought some food there. Amy indulged in a pork bun.
After eating, the shopped/browsed in a couple stores.
While at an antique store, Zoey said, "It's nice to see you like this."
Amy picked up a rock that said, "Strength" on it. "What do you mean?"
"Happy," Zoey said, "and open."
Amy put the rock down. "I'm sorry about my secret meeting with Kate and Hannah. We were just a little freaked out about something."
"It's been three years. I thought you were over this. I know you were friends before but we're all a family here." Zoe stressed.
Amy bit the inside of her mouth. "There's a power that Kate used to have," Amy fibbed. "She lost a while ago and didn't think she needed it but know she does. She was all panicked about it."
"That's all?" Zoe asked.
Amy nodded. "No more secrets."
"Okay." Zoe said. "Are we going to talk about that meeting today? You were awfully scared about something."
Amy looked at a snow globe in the shop. "Something's coming. I can feel it. But I don't know if it's good or bad."
"How can you tell?"
"I just know." Amy said. "And that boy's name sounds so familiar."
"Michael Langdon?" Zoe asked.
"Yeah. It's not like I know him or anything, but I might know of him. I just can't figure out from where."
"You'll figure it out." Zoe said, assuring her.
The supreme and her entourage arrived back in New Orleans late that night. Hannah pulled Amy aside as soon as they entered the house, and dragged her up to her room. Harry and Kate were already gathered in Hannah's room.
"So what happened?" Kate asked impatiently.
Amy looked at them skeptically. "Not much. The warlocks wanted to perform the seven wonders on one of their own. Cordelia turned them down flat."
There was a pause before Hannah spoke. "That's it?"
"Yeah." Amy said.
"Come on." Kate urged. "That can't be it."
"It was." Amy said.
Kate tilted her head. "Did you recognize anyone there?"
Amy sighed. She was about to speak but someone entered the room.
Zoe folded her arms. "What's going on?"
"None of your business." Kate said.
"It's fine." Amy said. "Zoe can join us." She glared at Kate. "The meeting was pretty boring."
"Yeah," Zoey said. "I'd call it a waste of time, but Cordelia let us do some sightseeing before our flight. We went to the zoo and Chinatown."
"Any souvenirs?" Hannah smirked.
"We didn't bring any money." Zoe said.
"I still don't see why I couldn't go." Kate said.
Zoe and Amy scoffed and rolled thier eyes.
"Oh not this again." Zoe said.
"It's over." Amy said.
Later that night, while Amy was brushing her teeth in the bathroom, Kate entered. Amy looked at her in the mirror.
"We need to finish our conversation. Who did you see there?" Kate asked.
Amy spit out her toothpaste. "I saw a man from the Hotel. Will Drake, but his name is John Henry here."
Kate turned around. She made a fist like she was going to hit something, but lowered her hand. "Anyone else?"
"B. D. Wong."
Kate's head tilted. "He is in American Horror Story?"
"I saw him." Amy said.
Kate sat on the rim of the tub. "What does this mean? What's the purpose of that meeting?"
"It could be nothing." Amy said.
"Or it could be a major plot point." Kate said.
Amy washed out her mouth and spat out the water. "Time will tell."
The next morning, a mysterious figure outside the gates of Robichaux Academy. He opened the gates of the academy and walked down the front yard. He was not alone. There were two figures, one on each side of him.
Amy saw them from the balcony outside her room. When they got closer, Amy gasped. She ran back inside and shouted, "Cordelia! They're back!"
Cordelia and Mertyl rushed outside to see what all the commotion was about. When Cordelia saw her girls back, she stared at the figure who revived them: Michael.
Amy stepped out of the house with a huge smile on her face. "Queenie!"
"What no' hello' for me?" Madison asked.
Cordelia collapsed moments later.
