As she stared out the window watching the nightlife of the forest Abby couldn’t help but
notice the errie silence that had passed over the area. Usually at this hour of the night a
few fae came out to frockle amongst the leaves and the occasional hoot of an owl always
seemed to be quite common at this time. But tonight there was…nothing, but silence.
“Abby?”, the young witch jumped as she felt a hand slide onto her shoulder only to turn and
see the concerned face of Ice. “What?!”, she snapped startled. For second Ice said nothing,
thinking before replying calmly, “ You still upset over your mother?”. “Yeah, I guess”, Abby
let out a slow sigh wondering how in the world her father would get over the loss of Astrid
again. Reading the look of worry on Abby’s face Ice replied, “Shhh…, you’re tense, everything
will work out Abs”. He slipped his hands on Abby’s shoulder moving his hands in slow,
massaging movements. “Hmmm”, Abby sighed leaning back against him completely oblivious to
chaos above.
Pulling himself together despite the agony, Leo finally managed to land a blow to Astrid’s
face knocking her away. Usually in conflict he wouldn’t dare hurt a female let alone his own
wife but his life was at stake. Before Astrid could recover Leo had forced himself up
tackling his wife on the bed to quite easily pin her arms with his hands, her body firmly
against her’s. “Ohhh…so you do still have some fight in you?”, grinned Astrid stopping at the
deadly serious look in his eyes. “Abby, Ice!”, he yelled at loud as possible before returning his
gaze to his wife. “Understand this Astrid, everything we had is dead and I can only hope
wherever your soul goes after you get exocisted from our daughter’s body you’ll find peace”.
The look on Astrid’s face from the usually gentle warlock’s condemnation was almost
hilarious to any bystander- no one would suspect such an action from Leo of all people. The
door opened to reveal Abby and Ice whose expressions quickly changed to shock at they
looked on at Leo and Rose/Astrid looking rather suspicious in their current position on the
bed. Spotting their expressions Leo let it pass explaining hurriedly, “Abby your sister’s been
possessed by Astrid, go get some ropes”. Abby stared for a moment before rushing off to do
her father’s bidding. “Leo…wow…”, Ice said looking rather surprised before been silenced by
a stare from the warlock. “Healing potion would be good around about now too”, he winced at
his wound and Ice hastily left to find a healing potion. Astrid’s glare was almost cruel to Leo
as the two laid in silence. When Abby arrived Leo, Ice and Abby easily binded Astrid despite
her rampant tossing and threats. “You’ll never-“, started Astrid as Leo silenced with a snap,
“Shut up!”
