Evan Wright
He stood surprisingly still for Evan Wright. He shook his head slowly, he couldn't believe what he saw on the television. His normally warm brown eyes were narrowed and cold as the news reporter spoke frantically ''THE BUILDING IS..WHAT! IT'S CRUMBLING IN ON ITSELF! HOW IS THIS HAPPENING! THOSE POOR PEOPLE!" she had to scream over the sound of the collapsing building "THE POLICE AND FIRE FIGHTERS ARE TRYING THEIR HARDEST TO GET INSIDE, BUT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY CAN NOT BREAK THROUGH!" In the background the muggle firefighters and the police officers tried to get the doors to unlock or break but, nothing happened. They hit the doors as hard as they could with axes, shot at the doors and windows but to no avail. The place was impenetrable.
Chills went down Evan's spine as the 50 something story building began to break and snap unnaturally, sending large chunks of rocks flying and crushing some unfortunate people as they tried to run for cover. He could barely hold his lunch up as he watched the horrific sights before him and knowing what was causing it.
'Who ever is doing this...I fear this is only their beginning...and to target a place so crowded how are they getting away with it' his thoughts screamed at him. A million questions swimming to the forefront of his mind. He back stepped and plopped down in the cushioned lazy boy, eyes wide.
His mouth hung open for a moment as the news reporter had to leap out of the way of a falling piece of the building. Screaming was louder now as the camera turned frantically to see what was the newest thing to happen. Lamp posts and cars that were on the streets caught fire spontaneously and started to spit flames everywhere. It was not natural...it WAS magic. Even the reporter made a few comments on the way the fire started. This was bad for everyone.
Evan's eyes began to fill with tears as he heard the screams, watched the people who were unlucky enough to be near the flames caught fire and eventually fell to the ground dead and still burning. He had thought to call his wife, Ina but thought against it. She would be busy enough trying to track and find who ever was causing these horrible acts.
Evan was about to turn the television off, and to go save the over cooked cake from the oven that had been beeping for the past 3 minutes now when a welcome but horrifying sight came into view of one of the camera's.
A swarm of men and women in black came out of nowhere moving quickly through the chaos. They were backing people away from the area and ordering the police and firefighters away from the building. Evan shot up quickly, searching each and every one of the men and women for a sign of his wife being there.
From what he saw she wasn't but he saw a few familiar faces "OH SHI-" He spun on his heel and ran to the phone, dialing the numbers quickly he waited impatiently before the other line picked up.
He wasted no time getting to the subject "MATT! T-THE NEWS LUCAS IS AT THE NEWEST D-" Evan began frantically as he searched the screen for anyone else.
"Evan, he's an auror he'll be fine" Matt replied a bit quiet trying to calm Evan down.
Evan shook his head "Really? You saw how bad his balance was that one day! MATT, LILA AND TAYLOR ARE THERE, I THINK THEY PULLED UP THE ENTIRE FORCE" He paused to look closer "THEY EVEN BROUGHT THE CURSE BREAKERS, I THINK THAT IS PERSEPHONE!" his voice dropped to a whisper "I can't imagine what is going on inside that building..." He watched as the aurors and curse breakers, unknown people to the muggles watching, broke through with only light and sticks.
"I don't know how they are going to explain that" Evan said terrified. He turned finally answering the call of the oven.
"They will think of something, I'll call you after I speak with them, after they are done and home safely" Matt answered, Evan could tell he was scared for them but he tried his hardest to mask his fear.
Evan turned to oven off quickly, still holding the phone up to his ear "are you going to tell Branin, or do you want me to...I'm going to head up there and see if they need anyone to help with the-"
Matt spoke quickly "No i'm heading over to the school now I'll tell him, Maybe i'll see you there later" he tried to lift the cold emotions going through the air.
"Yea...maybe"
Evan clicked the phone off and shoved it in his pocket, opening the oven to cloud of smoke he covered his mouth and nose as he tried to fan away the smoke. As he did the sounds from the television startled him. The loud blast froze him to his place. He imagined blood and fire, death. He slowly turned away from the oven and reached out for the door frame to hold him up because his legs were to weak to do their job correctly. On the tv before it went completely black the aurors and many other people were pushed with a large force out and away from the building.
They were flying through the air, hitting the buildings across from them, or anything in their way. The building was caving in finally, bursts of flame ...and darkness came through the cracks in the outside of the building.
The first thing on Evan's mind was one question
Who was dead?
Realization clicked in as the screen turned from black to fuzz "The aurors aren't even safe..."
