Trapped in Apocalypse Chapter 5

As Madison and Amy arrived back at Robichaux, Kate, and Zoe rushed out the door to greet them. Amy held on to the wooden box firmly.

"What happened?" Kate asked.

"Is Michael good or evil?" Zoe asked.

"Who did you see there?" Kate asked.

"Hold on." Madison said, annoyed. She entered the house, squeezing passed Kate and Zoey.

A meeting was held in the living room. Madison and Amy sat on one sofa together, in view of everyone else. Kate sat with Queenie on another couch. Mertyl sat in an armchair. Hannah, Harry, Cordelia, and Mallory sat in chairs. The rest of the witches stayed in their rooms.

Madison and Amy shared a glance before starting the meeting.

"Michael is evil." Madison began.

The witches sighed with dread and buried their faces in their hands.

"More than that." Amy said. "He has powers that we can't even imagine. He-he's the Antichrist."

Kate scoffed. "No shit. Billie Dean said that in season one."

"How can you even remember that?" Harry asked.

"My memory is a lot sharper than yours. I haven't been trapped in a season for a decade." Kate said.

Zoe and Mallory stared at them, confused. Mallory shrugged and turned away.

"So Michael is the son of Tate?" Harry asked.

"Yes and no." Amy said.

"His biological father rejected him, so he turned to his other father. The devil." Madison said.

"Who was there?" Kate asked.

"Yeah, how many OG members are there?" Hannah asked. She smirked at Amy.

Zoe looked at them confused. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Everyone was there. Ben. Vivian. Even..." she puffed up in emphasis, "Constance."

"No freaking way!" Kate shouted.

"I know right?" Amy said. "I also saw Chad and Patrick, but that was me wandering around. They probably aren't in the actual episode."

"You're so lucky!" Kate said.

"Lucky to be in the murder house?" Mallory asked.

"She got to meet them." Kate said.

"Oh, and I saw Constance's forth child." Amy said.

"Stop." Hannah said. "This is too much."

Amy giggled. "Oh I haven't even told you the stories about Michael. Or how Constance died."


After the meeting, Amy visited a cemetery with Zoe and dumped Maria's ashes. She walked over to the nearest cemetery and found a place for Maria. A cloud a smoke arose as the ashes hit the ground.


"I hate this," Hannah said, lying in bed that night. "I hate not knowing that's going to happen. What's Michael's plan?"

Harry held her hand. "All we can do is wait."

Hannah scoffed, "Cordelia's dying! And I don't know who the next supreme is. It can't be Michael. He's not a warlock. And I..." she whimpered. "No one is off limits. If Cordelia can die, then anyone can."

He glanced at her, unable to say anything helpful.


Mallory had a few miraculous moments in the coven. She healed a deer, by undoing its injuries.

"It's like she has Rapunzel's magic hair powers," Amy said.

A few days later, Coco's power increased. She could now tell how many calories were in any food, rather than just if it had gluten.
The witches decided to have a little fun with this and test out her new power. Queenie, Amy, and Kate went to the kitchen to grab a price of food. Mallory stayed in the dining room with Coco so she couldn't peek.

Kate presented an Oreo, without the top biscuits on it. Coco said the correct calories. Mallory checked online to verify.

Amy showed a cupcake to Coco, without telling her the inside filling was gone. Coco still got the correct Calories without the extra filling. Amy then at the cupcake.

Queenie showed up with a snowball. Coco stated a low calorie answer. Queenie turned the snowball, revealing that she took a bite out of it. "Yeah, I keep thinking I like these, then I take one bite out of it, and realize I hate it."

"Same here." Hannah said.

"I don't have the problem." Coco said. She took a bite of the Snowball.

The witches all chuckled and laughed for a moment. Then Coco started chocking.

"Do something," Hannah said.

"Like what?" Queenie said.

"I never learned the Heimlich." Amy declared.

Coco dropped to the ground quickly.

"Oh shit, she dead." Queenie said.

Mallory kneeled down beside Coco and used her powers to open up her neck, retrieve the snowball, and heal her back up.

Coco gasped awake. She sat up and caught her breath.

The witches all stared at Mallory.


Zoe purposed the idea to Cordelia that Mallory is the next supreme. Soon after, a seven wonders test was conducted for her.
Earlier that week, Mertyl got in touch with one of her witch friends, Bubbles, who can read minds. They had a dinner with Ariel and Baldwin where Bubbles learned that they might have killed one of their own, John Henry.

Mallory passed the seven wonders flawlessly. For Vitalum Vitalus, she brought back John Henry. John revealed that he was killed by a woman. He was the one warlock at Hawthorn who was skeptical of Michael. His disappearance led Behold to become worried, leading him to come to the coven (and visit the murder house).

Ariel, Baldwin, and Mead were all caught. Coco helped with apprehending Mead. The next morning, they were all burned at the stake. John lit the fire for them. Hannah and Amy looked away. Kate watched them all burn to a crisp.


The Coven was calm for the next few weeks. The new witches continued to learn magic.

Hannah was often worried about what would happen next. To put her at ease, Harry and Kyle stood in the balcony, watching for the oncoming storm.

Kate left the girls to visit Misty at her swamp. "I'll be back in a few days." She promised. She stood in the front door with a packed duffle bag around her shoulder.

"Who's going to teach the witches about potion making while you're gone?" Hannah asked.

"Mertyl." Kate said, as if the answer was obvious.


Dinah, a voodoo witch, helped Michael break the protection spell around Robichaux academy, in exchange for her own talk show.

Michael slowly walked down the concrete path towards the front door.

Kyle saw them coming, from the balcony and ran back into the house. "Incoming! He's here!"

The witches were gathered downstairs, learning a new spell. Mallory, Cordelia, and Mertyl were in a separate room talking.

Harry heard Kyle and dashed down the stairs. "Michael's heeeere!"

Michael was already at the front door. He waved his hand and door flung open. He walked in the front room where most of the witches gathered with Robot Mead. (He found two guys who could recreate her, since Cordelia casts a spell so that he couldn't bring her back).

Hannah's heart rate soared. She looked over at Amy, with fear in her eyes.

"Mead? How are you here?" Queenie asked.

"This is your last chance to join me. Be a loyal servant at my side." Michael said. He spoke very calmly.

"Hell no," Bubbles said.

"Hard pass," Amy said. She made a face at him.

Michael smiled and began his attack. He shot nails at the witches, and Mead began shooting them. When Zoe went down, Amy screamed. Then Queenie. Then little Cassandra.

Michael grabbed Amy by her hair and slit her throat himself.

Hannah took her chance to flee the room. She hid in a bathroom.

Harry and Kyle fought back too. Kyle managed to punch Michael in the face. Michael waved his hand, breaking Kyle's neck. When Michael saw Harry, he said, "Why fight me when you can join me? You could be so powerful with the right teacher. We could rain hell on this world."

"You murdered my sister." Harry said.

"She was a witch." Michael said, as if that meant anything.

"Good will always win." Harry said. "You will fail. No matter what you do, where you go, you will always be alone and you will always lose."

Mead shot him in the head.

Michael looked over at her. "I wasn't done talking to him."

"He wasn't going to join you. And I didn't like the way he was talking to you." Mead said.


Back at the swamp, Stevie could feel that something was wrong. She could feel the energy of the coven draining.

Kate opened up a portal and saw the bloodbath for herself. She saw Mead there too. She quickly closed it and opened a portal in all the different rooms. That's when she found Hannah. She quickly crawled through. Kate pulled her inside and held her.

"They're dead. They're all dead," Hannah sobbed.

Misty covered her mouth and gasped.

Stevie held Hannah's hand. "Not everyone dear. Your supreme lives. As well as her successor."

Hannah caught her breath. "Mertyl was with Cordelia and Mallory." She went back to crying. "He killed Zoey and Queenie! He murdered Amy and Harry!"

Kate covered her mouth.

"Cordelia can save them. Or I could bring them back." Misty said.

Hannah sniffled and wiped her nose with her sleeve. "I don't think it's going to be that easy."


Cordelia, Mallory, and Mertyl showed up at the cabin in the swamp later that evening. Hannah quickly hugged Cordelia, who was relieved to see her.

"Oh my God," Cordelia said. "How did you get out?"

"I teleported her out of there." Kate said. "I was too late for the others."

Cordelia squeezed Kate's hand.

Mallory and Kate embraced. "I thought I was alone." Mallory said.

There were two other witches with Cordelia: Madison and Coco.

"Oh my God." Kate said. "What the hell?"

"Glad to see you're alive too." Madison said. "Good thing I went shopping today, or else I'd be dead too."

Kate smirked at her and turned away.


Cordelia was unable to resurrect the fallen witches. When she descended into the afterlife, their bodies disappeared. Cordelia woke up and sobbed, "I couldn't save them. They were there and then they were gone."

Hannah covered her mouth and tears flooded her face. "No."

Kate shook her head. "But... they can't be gone!"

Madison looked at Kate, guilty. "When we went to the house where Michael was born, we found out the he could like, erase your soul out of existence. He could like obliterate people's souls."

Cordelia sat up and slapped Madison. "You wanted until now to tell us!"

Madison held her cheek. "I told you he was evil! What more did you need!?"

"So Amy. Harry. Zoe. Queenie. Cassandra. Everyone else is gone?" Kate said.

Hannah fell to the ground crying. Mallory sat with her.

"There has to be something you can do to fix this." Kate said to Cordelia.

"There might be." Mertyl said.


The night, Hannah wandered outside the swamp. Kate woke up and looked for her. She found Hannah outside with a knife in her hand. Kate opened a small portal and grabbed the knife.

"No!" Hannah shouted.

"Hannah, don't do it."

"Harry is gone. Zoe is dead. Why would I stay?" Hannah asked.

"This isn't over." Kate said. "Besides, I'm here. Mallory is here. And Misty. Cordelia. Stevie. Coco."

Hannah turned away. "I don't want to be here anymore."

"You can't just kill yourself the second your husband dies." Kate said. "Give life-this life a chance. Think about everything you would be giving up. Magic. These wonderful witches." She stood next to Hannah. "I don't know where we're going next, but it won't be as good as this place. We could end up at the Hotel Cortez or tortured by the cult. I'm not ready to leave the coven yet."

Hannah wipes her eyes and nodded.


A time travel test was conducted. Mertyl told the story of Anastasia, a witch who tried to protect her family. Mallory held on to a person item of Anastasia's (a locket) and lied in a tub of water. Cordelia chanted the spell until the water turned back. Then Mallory's head was dunked under the water.

A few minutes later, Mallory got out the tub, screaming. Her eyes were bleeding. She failed to save Anastasia or her family.
