Trapped in Apocalypse Chapter 14
"We're screwed." Kate said aloud.
Vivian sat beside her, quietly. She placed an arm around Kate's shoulder.
The baby was quiet too. She nestled in her mother's arms.
Vivian looked over. "What are you going to name her?"
Kate looked down at the little one. "I don't know... other things on my mind right now."
Cordelia quickly appeared in the attic again. "Kate! Mallory has fallen."
Kate bit her lip. "I know. We're doomed."
Cordelia put her hand on Kate's shoulder. "Not exactly. The spell can still be enacted. The future can be saved." Cordelia said.
"How?"
"Mallory wasn't the supreme." Cordelia said. "I thought she was the one but there's someone else." She looked at Kate, reassuring her.
Kate leaned back. "What? But that's not..." The baby. Things are changing. We've changed the plot.
"It has to be you." Cordelia said.
Kate wiped her eyes and nodded.
Kate teleported out of the attic. She landed on the second floor hallway. Harry was there, still alive.
"Kate!" He called. Harry was hiding in one of the rooms. "I was waiting for him to come back. Then I could surprise him." He held a kitchen knife in his hand.
"Who else is left?" Kate asked.
"Cordelia and Hannah." Harry answered.
Kate glanced at him and hugged him. "I've missed you guys."
He hugged back. "Yeah..."
"I have to find Michael and stop him. You were all right about him. I-I need to do the spell like Cordelia said-"
"Woah, woah." Harry said. "This isn't real. You don't have to do anything."
"I can't let everyone have died for nothing!" Kate said.
Harry put his hands together. "This is all a dream!"
Kate looked down at her infant. "If it is, I'm in no hurry to wake up."
Downstairs in the main room, Cordelia faced a few against Michael. They threw spells at each other, which he either dodged or they had no effect on him.
Holly ran over to Hannah who was off to the side of the battle.
"Holly!?" Hannah asked.
"I put myself under." Holly said.
"Why?" Hannah said. "Watching us suffer wasn't enough for you?"
"I rarely watched." She said. "Besides, I came here to talk to you."
Hannah sighed. "Now's not a good time."
"I'm sorry!" She shouted.
Hannah looked at her suspiciously.
"I'm sorry for being a curse. I'm sorry that being friends with McKenna, Bailey, and Sarah got them killed. I'm sorry I ditched you without an explanation. I'm sorry for letting this go on for so long. I'm sorry I let Sammie talk me into doing terrible things. I'm sorry I couldn't stop her from killing your sister. And I'm sorry I played a part in it." Holly said.
Hannah looked at her old friend. Her face lifted up.
"I'm not looking for forgiveness." Holly said. "I know nothing can make up for what I did. I can't bring them back. But I can make sure no one else dies because of me."
Hannah tilted her head. "This is a simulation. You'll still be alive in the real world."
Holly slowly walked over and hugged Hannah. She wrapped her arms around Hannah's shoulders. "I stopped Sammie. She can't hurt you anymore."
When Holly let go of Hannah, they two faced each other. "What did you do?" Hannah asked.
Holly backed up and went over to Michael and Cordelia. She stood up on the steps and quickly grabbed a lock of Michael's hair. She yanked it out.
Harry ran down the stairs at that time and retrieved the hair.
Michael turned around and growled at Holly. Michael threw his arm outward. The notion caused Holly to be thrown back by his magic, up on the wall, where a boar head was on display. She was pierced in the stomach by the horns.
Harry quickly ran up the stairs, while Michael focused on Killing Holly.
Hannah raced after Harry. She quickly followed behind him across the house.
"Where do all these witches keep coming from?" Michael sneered.
Upstairs in master bathroom, the tub was filled up with water. Kate stood beside it with her infant in hand. She waited for the others to show.
As Harry ran up the steps, Mead showed up. She stepped into the hallway from one of the rooms. She held her arm gun out and started shooting.
Harry was hit. Five times.
As he fell backwards on the floor, Hannah grabbed the lock of hair. She ducked under Mead's arm and made it into the master bedroom. She quickly closed the door behind her and locked it. Hannah ran into the bathroom and handed the hair to Kate. "Here's the personal item." She panted, placing her hands on her knees.
Kate looked at Hannah. She was covered in blood. "Right."
Kate stepped into the bathtub and sat down. She held her baby over the water.
Kate and Hannah began chanting. The water began to bubble.
Downstairs, Cordelia looked up. She smiled and gave a slight giggle.
"What?" Michael asked.
Cordelia backed away. "You did all this just to kill me. And you failed."
"Not after tonight!" He said.
"Oh, you will get to watch me die. But it won't satisfy you." Cordelia said. "Satan has one son. But my witches are legion mother F$&%ers." Cordelia reached up a small dagger and stabbed herself.
Michael gasped, "No!"
Cordelia fell to the ground, dead.
Michael leaned next to her. He looked at the pool of blood coming out of her. He wanted to smile. He should be happy. This is what he's wanted for a long time...
He looked up. "Kate?" He stood up and ran up the steps. "Katie!"
Back upstairs, the water in the pool turned black. The two witches heard Michael calling Kate's name. Hannah pushed Kate and her baby under the water.
Just then, Michael burst into the room. He flung the door open reached i the tub after Kate and their child. It was empty.
"Bring her back!" He demanded.
Hannah's face tightened. "She's not coming back! She's going to change the past. You won't have ever been together. No apocalypse-"
Michael ducked her head under the water. He held her under until she stopped moving.
Harry gasped awake in the real world. Back in the sleep room of the warehouse. He looked over at the others. Hannah was still asleep. Holly has a huge hole in her torso. Sammie's neck was hurled over to the side. The bones looked detached.
Amy was awake too. She was staring at something.
Harry followed her glance and saw Kate... there was something on top of her. Something on her torso. It was breathing.
"Is that the baby?" Harry asked.
Amy continued to stare at the infant.
Luke shared Amy's reaction, staring speechlessly at it through the window.
Then Hannah gasped awake.
Kate appeared back at the outpost in San Francisco. Except it was filled with people. Cordelia was in the office with the four level three warlocks and Michael. It was his seven wonders test. This was a year before the apocalypse. The outpost was still the Hawthorne school for boys.
Kate looked down. Her infant was still in her arms, sleeping. Kate kissed her on her forehead and snuck around the house. She used her teleporting abilities to get around the large school. She went into the kitchen and retrieved a large knife.
During Michael's test, he resurrected Misty Day. After the test, Michael returned to his room and the witches left. Kate saw Misty as the coven left. She used her power of teleportation to make a small portal outside, and sneak a peek at Misty Day leaving the school, alive.
Kate hid in Michael's room, in his closet until he returned. When he entered, she came out from hiding and quickly stabbed him in the back.
"Ahh!" He shouted. Michael blasted her back.
Kate used her hand to shield his attacks. She used telekinesis to hold him down.
He tilted his head. "Who are you?"
Kate placed her infant down on the bed before she mounted him. "The real supreme!" She stabbed him again in the chest. "You killed my friends!" She stabbed him with in his stomach. "You lied to me!" She stabbed him again. And again. And again.
Kate stood up, covered in his blood. Her held her infant, wrapped in a blanket, which got all stained.
The puddle of blood from Michael began to retract.
Kate's face intensified. She clenched her fist tightly and Michael was lit on fire.
