Trapped in Apocalypse Chapter 13

Sammie burst into the control room minutes later. She looked up at Kate's screen and pressed some buttons on the panel. The screen zoomed in on her. "It's happening."

"Yeah, she's in labor." Charlotte said.

"She's in agony." Luke said. His face filled with dread.

"It won't last long." Sammie said, annoyed. She opened the door to the sleep room.

"What are you doing?" Charlotte asked.

She looked over at Lily and Holly. "Put me under."

"But-" Lily began.

"Fine." Holly said.

Sammie shut the door, locking herself inside.

"If you put her under, she'll be trapped." Lily said. "She'll..."

Holly lowered the lever, putting Sammie to sleep without another thought. She didn't even blink. She kept her eyes locked on Sammie from inside the sleep room.

The others in the room were at a loss of words. Luke's jaw dropped. Lily looked nervously at Charlotte.

Holly turned around and walked over to Lily. "Now I need you to put me under too." Holly said.

Lily let out a breath of panic.

"It's easy. Press the sleep button and pull the lever." Holly said. She help on to Lily's arms.

"There's no need for this." Luke said.

Holly glared at him. "No more death. No more pain after tonight."

Holly walked over to the sleep room. She propped the door open and looked back. "Thank you for showing me that I'm not alone."

Lily ran over and hugged Holly. "I don't want you to go."

Holly gave her a small smile before disappearing into the sleep room. She took her place beside Hannah.

Lily was too upset to follow through.

Luke stepped forward and pulled the lever and watched the scene on the screen.


Michael carried Kate upstairs for the delivery. He peeked in each room. He placed her on a long sofa with a white sheet over it.

All the while Kate was crying and shouting. "Ahhh! It hurts so badly!"

"I know," he said, worrisome. "It won't last long, I hope."

Kate was sweating all across her forehead. "Isn't there something you can do about the pain?"

Michael considered this. "I-I don't know. I've never used my powers to heal people."

"You revived Misty." She reminded him.

"She was dead!" He urged. "I've never healed someone while they were alive. I could make it worse."

Kate leaned her head back. "What about the witches?"

"No." He leaned down beside her. "They want me dead."

"They won't hurt me."

"I can't take that chance." Michael said. "I can't lose either of you."


Downstairs, the coven stood helplessly, hearing Kate's screams. Mallory covered her mouth and looked down. Cordelia closed her eyes and put her hand on her chest.

After about an hour, they heard a cry. It wasn't Kate. It was higher pitched. It was a baby's cry.

Sammie appeared in the room, on the other side of the shield.

"Sam?" Amy asked.

"What are you doing here?" Hannah asked.

Sammie smirked and ran up the stairs.

Michael help his child in his arms. "It's a girl." He said. He looked surprised.

Kate smiled as much as she could with the energy she had left. The sofa was soaked in blood. Kate took a small breath and leaned back in the sofa. He eyes were open, but she wasn't blinking.

Michael put the baby in a cushioned container nearby before going back to Kate. He placed his bloodied hands on her face. "Kate?"


Kate gasped awake in the sleep room of the warehouse. She sat up and caught her breath. She reached her arm out and found Hannah's body. Kate looked around and saw the others there too, including Sammie and Holly. Up in the window, she saw Luke staring at her. He placed his hand on the glass window.

Kate didn't get a chance to react before she fell back asleep.

Luke looked over at the lever. It hadn't been touched.


Michael stood over Kate, whispering a spell. His head touched her forehead as he repeated the spell.

The blood on the sofa began to retract back into Kate. After a minute, she came back. She flinched back to life.

"Kate," he smiled. He kissed her lips. "Oh, it worked."

Kate looked down at her body. The bloody mess was gone. She didn't feel any pain from giving birth. Her big belly was deflated. Kate quickly looked over to her side. She sighed with relief at the sight of her newborn.

Michael chuckled. "We have a daughter."

Kate smiled at the infant in the padded container. "She's here. She's okay."

Michael nodded and kissed Kate again.

Sammie entered the room quietly. She walked over to the infant, while Michael and Kate were kissing. She carefully picked her up and turned around.

Sammie took three steps away with the infant when Michael sensed something was wrong. He turned his head and saw the mysterious girl their baby. "Where are you going?" He asked angrily.

Sammie closed her eyes for a moment. She held the baby securely and started to run out of the room.

Michael tilted his head. The motion created a dark spell. He broke Sammie's neck using his powers.

Before Sammie's body could hit the floor, Michael ran over and grabbed their child before it fell to the ground.

Kate got up and turned the girl's body over to see her face. "Sammie?"

"You know her?" Michael asked. He rocked their now crying infant.

"Sort of. How is she here?" Kate asked. "Never mind that." She stood up. "I would like to hold my daughter."

Michael handed the baby over to her. She was no longer crying.

"Hey there little one." Kate said to her child. She stroked the baby's head gingerly.


Meanwhile downstairs, the shield lowered. Mallory carefully reached her hand over.

"Why lower the shield now?" Madison asked.

Hannah gasped. "Kate!"

The witches all headed up the stairs.

"The shield." Michael said, upstairs. "It's down."

"When I died." She said quickly.

Michael stood in front Kate and their infant. "They mean to hurt us. I won't let them."

Kate looked at him skeptically. "They are still my friends." She stood in front of him. "They are my family too."

"They want to hurt her." He said. Place her hand over the baby's forehead. "And me."

"I don't want that." Kate said. "But you can't hurt them either."

"It's not that easy." Michael said. "You saw what they did when they came her. Cordelia wanted to kill our baby."

"But we can show them. She's not evil." Kate said.

"Kate," Michael said, "I have to protect you both. You're the only family I have left."

Madison was the first witch to find them.

"Mead!" Michael called. Mead ran down the hallway. Gun shots when off. Coco and Mertyl were fatally shot.

"No!" Kate shouted. "Mead stop!"

Madison shouted, about to use a spell against Michael. He quickly acted and broke her neck.

"Michael!" Kate screamed. "Stop this. There's already a limited number of people left in this world. Don't take away more."

"Kate, they will kill us." Michael urged.

Hayden walked into the room. "There's my baby."

"No!" Kate shouted.

Michael lit Hayden's soul in fire. She had a very high pitched scream. She disintegrated into ash.

"See what I mean." Michael said.

"The witches aren't like Hayden." Kate said.

He smiled at her. "So you're not upset that I just obliterated Hayden-"

"No, because she's an unstable bitch and I never liked her. But the witches, they're a part of my family." Kate said.

"Then I'm afraid I have to kill your side of the family."

"Wait. If they die here, won't their ghosts stay here?" She asked.

He took off out of the room.

Kate followed after him. As she entered the hallway, she saw Michael stab Amy in the heart.

Something about that struck her. Amy's dead body on the floor... Michael covered in blood... this is happened before. All at once, it came back to her. The missing three years. Michael's rise to power and his massacre of the witches. Kate peeking in and saving Hannah with a portal.

Kate almost fell to her knees. She looked down at her infant and gasped. Kate covered her mouth, as tears filled her eyes.

Marie Laveau showed up, strutting down the hallway. She put a protection spell around herself using powder. Pappa Legba traded her life for Dinah, the darkest of souls.

"Your magic is no match for mine." Michael said. He reached his hand through her barrier spell and ripped her heart out. He held it in his hands and took a bite out of it. Maria collapsed to the ground, lifeless.


Cordelia used transference to apear beside Kate. She grabbed her arm and teleported up to the attic.

Kate adjusted the baby in her arms. "Cordelia what have I done?" Kate blurted. "He did it all. He killed Zoe a-and Queenie. Cassandra. The apocalypse was him."

"I'm glad you remember." Cordelia said. "And I'm sorry. I know it's a lot to take in. You trusted him and got close to him."

"I didn't know any of this." Kate said.

"I know." Cordelia said, calmly. She held Kate's hand. "Listen to me. There is a way to stop Michael, and bring back everyone."

Kate looked at her puzzled.

"We just need a personal item and then we can do the spell in a bathroom. A tub is required." Cordelia explained. "Mallory is in the master bathroom waiting for the ingredient. Can you get something of his? A strand of hair maybe."

Kate stared at Cordelia. She seemed to understand but she didn't reply.

"Mallory's the next supreme." Kate said. "You're dying." She looked sorrowfully at her.

Cordelia patted her hand. "I've accepted that. And Mallory will make a great supreme."

Kate smiled a little. "Yeah. She's so humble and good. Incredible healing powers."

"We need to act fast." Cordelia said. "Meet is in the master bathroom when you get the personal item."

Kate opened a small portal to reach her hand through and pull out a few strands of hair. As she opened the portal, she saw Michael with Mallory. He lifted two fingers and twitched them. The motion made Mallory's neck snap. Michael had killed her.

Kate quickly closed the portal. Alone in the attic with her baby, she panted. Vivian showed up and sat beside Kate.
