"No!" Mona opened her eyes forcing herself to look as she heard a
scream from within the room. The boy had reached out his hand grabbing at
the man in the bed's throat. Her friend was vainly trying to pull him away
as the monitors went crazy.
"No, Paul!" Mary cried as she struggled against him. "Ant...."
"No you don't!" Paul said as he temporarily released his grip on Peter's throat and snatched Mary up, a hand firmly clasped over her mouth.
"You still don't get it, do you, kid? You can't stop us. No one can stop us!"
Mona bit her lip, looking frantically around the room for any sign that someone had noticed what was going on. The older woman was looking right at the boy and the struggling girl he held tight in his arms but she had a puzzled look on her face like she wasn't sure what was happening.
Why wasn't anyone helping her friend?
'Help her! Someone help her!' Mona opened her mouth and tried to scream at the grownups but nothing, not even a squeak slipped from her throat. She looked down at the wand she was still holding in her hands,
raising it as she pushed the door open a bit more. If the grownups couldn't help.... The boy's back was to her, so maybe....
Mona raised the wand and pointed it at him, not sure exactly of what to do. 'Let her go!' she vainly tried to scream as she swished the wand hoping it would somehow do something, anything to help.
"There's something in this room, something..." Sally stared at the spot where Mary was struggling against Paul, not knowing what was going on but sensing it none the less. Suddenly bright blue flames shot across the room, causing her to jump back several steps quickly.
Paul snarled as the flames grazed his back, his grip on Mary loosening and the little girl wiggling out of his grasp. He turned to face Mona, standing in the doorway, slightly staggered from the burst of fire.
His fangs flashed as he advanced on the girl. What was it with these kids anyway, always getting in his way?
"Mona?" Hook said as he looked at the girl standing in the doorway, pointing some sort of stick at what appeared to be empty air.
What was she doing here? After what Stegman had done to her, after what he had seen in the contents of that report.... "Mrs. Druse..."
Mona forced herself to glare at Paul, darting forward to Mary's side and jabbing at him with the wand. She had turned that awful doctor into an ass and he was only slightly less frightening than this boy. If he didn't go away, she would just turn him into something too!
"So, you found a friend, did you?" Paul said with a sinister chuckle as he started towards the two girls, Mona trying to force Mary behind her as he approached. "Well, you better tell her to keep out of my way or...."
"Or what, you big bully? Why don't you pick on someone your own size!" a voice called from the doorway causing Paul to spin to meet this new entrant into the conflict.
"Leave them alone!" Breanna held her wand steady like her sister's, pointed at the boy. Neither girl was sure what was going on but from how that boy was talking, they were pretty sure he wasn't here to visit and comfort the sick.
"What is this? Little girls' week or something? You think you can stop me?" His fangs flashed as he moved towards these new intruders,
forgetting temporarily the two younger girls.
"We learned how to get rid of your kind before breakfast!" Aubrey said with what she hoped was a confident air as she and her sister swished their wands in unison, slamming Paul back towards the wall with a bright red light just as another wave of the blue flames smacked into him again.
"You'll pay for that!" Paul staggered back, glaring around the room before fading out through the wall. "You'll pay!"
"Could someone tell me what just happened here?" Hook asked as he looked rapidly from Sally to the two newcomers.
'What are you?' Peter thought as his eyes moved from the frightened Mary, standing at his bedside holding Mona's hand, to the two older girls in the doorway.
"We're witches." Breanna responded as if she had heard exactly what Peter had thought. "Do you mind if we come in? I think we might need to talk."
"No, Paul!" Mary cried as she struggled against him. "Ant...."
"No you don't!" Paul said as he temporarily released his grip on Peter's throat and snatched Mary up, a hand firmly clasped over her mouth.
"You still don't get it, do you, kid? You can't stop us. No one can stop us!"
