Thread: The Reaping {Victor Kane & Enigma_x}

That fateful day began as any other. A long blonde haired female sat with a short haired brunette as they devoured their breakfast, a mix of scrambled eggs and toast. So, what are you planning for today? The brunette asked in a rather relaxed tone as she downed a good deal of steaming coffee from the large owl mug resting an inch from her plate. The blonde shrugged slightly, Eva hadnt considered what she would be doing aside from work. They may be witches, but they still had to earn a living. I thought about getting some coffee and a piece of pie from that new coffee shop at lunch, but thats about it. She chuckled softly. Ana was older than Eva, about two years give or take a few months. It was clear she wasnt at ease this morning, Eva just put it down to the fact that she wasnt a morning person. Little did Eva know, Ana had seen glimpses into this day long before it had come around. There was something lurking around her sister, and she was determined to protect her. How about you blow off work, we can go get coffee in town. Maybe do some shopping? Anas voice was tender, pleading even. Eva glanced toward her sister with a slight frown as she placed her fork down. Ana, whats wrong? You never want to take leave. The brunette shrugged, You know, sister time. Weve both been working so much we barely see each other. Well, she wasnt wrong. Eva sighed deeply, rolling her eyes. Ill take this afternoon off you can meet me outside Bennys for lunch, then we can shop. Anas features lit with a genuine smile, Good, She beamed before leaning in, pressing a tender kiss on Evas forehead before cleaning up their plates. As Eva made her way toward the office she couldnt shake the feeling of something looming over her. It just felt as if today was going to be a tough day. Eva Whitbane worked as an assistant to a CEO of a large art dealer. It wasnt something she particularly had hoped to do but it paid well enough to keep their apartment and give them some extra cash. Ana worked as a secretary at a local law firm, even with them working so close, the girls struggled to see each other during the day. They usually spent the nights together, watching movies, drinking wine and cooking together. They were as close as sisters came. Despite the turmoil of her usual work day, Eva found the day was swiftly passing. Shed almost missed her cut off time. The blonde checked her phone as she made her way out into the busy street. Usually, Ana would give her a text and let her know she was out. Nothing. Eva, absent-minded, crossed the road, swiftly sending a text to Ana to let her know. The next thing she knew, she was hurling toward the ground, her body colliding into the hard concrete of the side walk, her vision and hearing blurred yet the blood curdling screams echoed within her mind. A crowd of people began to brush past her Eva could barely see what was happening. Someone offered her a hand, asking if she was okay. The older man who helped her up immediately asked her to sit back down once he noticed the blood trickling from the side of her forehead. His attention was soon diverted by the screams rippling from the crowd, they were all gathered by a car. Someone had been hit? Slowly, Eva rose, fighting the woozy feeling that dared attempt to take her over. As she brushed past scared on lookers, she saw traces of blood over the road. It was only when she managed to brush past the last line of on lookers that she noticed how much blood was pooling at the scene. The crimson fluid spilled from a victim, staining their clothes and the lower half of their body. From the wound it appeared that the car had almost used the victim as a buffer. It was only when her gaze began to drift up the victims body, that clung to life, that her blood ran cold. Ana. In a haze of fury, the petite blonde shoved her way through the crowd, seeing the older man tending to her sister, no doubt he was a doctor. Ana! Eva hissed, immediately rushing to her sisters side. The brunette lay there, her skin slowly changing from a sun kissed tan to a rather pale, pasty colour. Eva could see the blood was stemming from her right leg, the bone had been forced through the muscle and skin. It almost made Eva gag. Its okay, she breathed softly, brushing her sisters hair from her face, Eva, She breathed hoarsely, Dont let them take you. Youre meant for great things, Blood began to dribble over her lower lip, seeping down her face as her breathing became light. Please tell me there is something you can do. She turned her gaze to the doctor who was trying to stop the bleeding. Someone called an ambulance, young lady, this kind of wound She will have internal bleeding. Im not sure shell make it to hospital. Tears immediately stung as they began to pour, Eva clung to her sister as she began to murmur a soft spell, Latin words echoing between them. Come on Ana, say it with me. She pleaded hopelessly. Ana was always the stronger witch she had been the one to teach Eva everything that she knew. Please, say it. Eva cried softly, leaning down to touch her forehead against her sisters. Pain filled screams echoed from within her. The moment the paramedics came she was torn away from Anas lifeless body, only allowed to look on as they confirmed her time of death before carting her away. NO! Eva screamed, fighting against the grasp of a young paramedic. No, no no, Her voice strained and broke as her heart filled with pain. The one thing in this life she loved, she was connected to, was all gone. A few days later, Eva had made the trip up to their family. Well, coven. The girls had moved into the city together to begin a journey. That journey was over. Eva ordered their apartment to be put up for sale and packed her things. Her coven, which included her aunt and other close friends, were distressed to learn theyd lost one of their own, to a car no less. Are you sure you didnt sense Darkness? One asked, Eva shook her head as she entered the grand coven mansion, the place had been modernized since shed been last, not that it registered to her. After a good deal of discussion and comforting, Ana made her way up to her old room. Ana had the gift of sight, and her last words kept ebbing over and over in Evas mind. Dont let them take you.. It wasnt an accident she knew something was going to happen. No doubt to Eva. The guilt consumed her at the thought, maybe Ana was the one who shoved her out of the way. Shed saved her.
