P. Bowen b. 1895 d. 1972

I stood, almost stunned, by the turn of events. My eldest cousin was watching me with a malicious smile on her face - she thought she had won, but I don't give up that easily.

"Upstairs." she demanded, but we were both distracted by the sound of my youngest cousin crashing into the floor. She had managed to break free of Anton's hold but Anton was still advancing on her.

I moved to help but my eldest cousin sent a fireball at me. Instinctively I summoned my powers and sent a blast of icy breathe at it. The fireball froze in mid air, the flames covered with ice.

All around us people began to scream and run for the doors. Through the mass of people I could see my youngest cousin being choked my Anton. I hurriedly tried to fight my way through the crowd to help her, but her husband got to them before I could. He grabbed a rake standing by the door, and hit Anton in the back, causing him to release my cousin. But Anton wasn't hurt; he simply turned round and hit my cousin's husband with enough strength to send him flying into the fireplace, knocking him unconscious.

I moved forward again to my youngest cousin but I was blocked by my other cousin. I lashed out my foot, intending to kick her, but she managed to grab my foot and push me back. I lost my balance and crashed to the floor, winded.

I could see my cousin desperately trying to freeze Anton but he fought through the freeze and began strangling her again.

"I'm going to like having that power." I heard him mutter.

By now, most people had left the manor, although I could see Christina Larson on the upstairs landing. I got back to my feet and opened my mouth, sending a stream of ice at my eldest cousin. However the flow of ice seemed to be absorbed by the necklace she was wearing.

She gestured to the amulet and smiled coldly. "How does it feel to be powerless against me?" she mocked cruelly

"If you think I'm powerless," I replied, suddenly kicking her to the ground, "then you don't know me very well, cousin."

She tried to get up but I grabbed her hands, holding her down.

Through the doorway I could see my youngest cousin raise her knee and slam it into Anton's stomach. He doubled over, gasping for breath, and my cousin managed to break free. However Anton was beginning to get up again. My cousin tried to freeze him again, which slowed him down, and looked desperately around her for some help.

Doing the same I suddenly saw a solution. "The grandfather clock!" I shouted, nodding towards it, while still holding my other cousin down.

I saw the understanding on my youngest cousin's face and as Anton began to get up, she grabbed the grandfather clock and pushed it over on top of Anton. She hurried to join me, taking a rope off one of the curtains as she went.

Our gazes met over our cousin's head and we knew what we had to do.

My youngest cousin stepped behind my other cousin and began to strangle her with the rope. I took of her amulet and threw it as far away as I could, hoping that was the only immunity she had to our powers.

"We know Anton's a warlock." my youngest cousin began.

I took the piece of paper with the spell written on it and continued, "And that he's fallen in love with you."

"And turned you evil."

"We can't have you guys join forces. Not in this life. Not in any life."

"God forgive us." finished my youngest cousin sadly.

I stretched out my hand, holding the spell so both my cousin and I could see it.

Together we chanted the spell that would destroy our cousin.

"Evil witch in my sight.
Vanquish thyself.
Vanquish thy might.
In this and every future life."

I let go of my eldest cousin and both my youngest cousin and I stepped back.

"No." whispered my eldest cousin, then more loudly, "No!" as flames began to consume her.

I felt a wave of sadness flow through me as I thought of who she might have been, of what we should not have had to do. But I also felt a satisfaction. We had stopped two powerful evil beings and destroyed one of them. Anton had little power with our cousin and our spell would make sure that they did not join up in any of her future lives.

I turned to my cousin, now my only cousin, and nodded acceptingly.
