Story Telling Part three
Izadora rushed around the grounds carrying her many boxes filled with her research of this mystery liquid and the Camarilla. She smiled to herself while she is dragging this along. Petra a cross the way, noticed Izadora as she herself was heading to Alder office. Not wanting to be late but not wanting her to struggle anymore, Petra order two Cadet to asset her. Satisfied with that at seeing the Cadet helping Izadora. She made her way inside and up to the Office.
She paused at the door; she could hear laughter inside. That wasn’t want she was prepared for.
‘that not normal, she never laughs’ she leans against the door and listen in. she could tell that other was inside with her and laughing along side her. ‘weird’.
She stayed like this for some time, allowed Izadora to meet with her outside.
Petra quickly stands up straight, smoothing out her uniform. Trying not to look like she was just listening in.
She could hear Izadora telling to put the boxes down near the door. Thanks, them and dismissed to leave.
“shall we”.
With a little nob Izadora pushes open the left door as Petra open the right door. Both of them enter Alder officer and sees Raelle, Alder biddies and Alder herself chatting about dust cloud. Off all things. There both pause as there enter, but not dropping their smiles.
Alder stands hand behind her, “have a sit, we have matter to discuss”.
On of Alder biddies, she doesn’t remember their name but there are one of the shorter ones and has one of the most calming energies she had been around in sometime. While Petra moves around the table and sit down beside the tallest of the biddies, Nina. Izadora thanks the biddies as she placed her boxes on the table and closes the door behind them.
“first thing, Izadora has found something. And would like to pick your brain.”
“why didn’t you say something, I would have come to you, we really didn’t need to create this meeting.”
“there all need to be here, instead of saying it several time just once.” Izadora says.
With a little smirk, “you have the floor” she looks over at Alder and Petra both of them agree that Izadora could take over.
“so, I need to know if you know about this weird liquid, we found at the site. Among the dead. We have contained it but barely.”
Raelle forward, “want” her voice was small, she knows what was being said it just hearing out loud that something else.
“this black liquid, it like the mother, in some ways but instead of healing it destroys. I also found out that one of the witches that was at the site was the centre point. Penny. I believe she behind this.”
“Vice President is not his daughter,” Raelle says. Not looking at anyone.
She turns to the closed Biddy, “may I link with you,” that said biddy looks at Alder giving a little nod.
“everyone links, up. I will show everyone what Penelope went thought, then you can say that Izadora if you still think so”.
Everyone linked hands, as Raelle spoke her chant, ‘Ask and it shall be given to you, Seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall open unto you. For everyone who ask shall recieveth, everyone who seeketh shall find and to them who knock. The door will be open unto you. For your is the kingdom of heaven’
She showed them everything. From her being taken. The many surgeries. To her being placed into that room. There watch as this young girl is taken to the room, she was found in. There watched as the room was sealed from the outside. ‘a trap’ a voice not there own come out. They could feel the hollowness of her words. But there could also tell that it wasn’t her that was hallow but something within.
There could feel as this thing burst from her, danced around the room before attacking. The chamber inside the room. Creating a large explosion that pushed everyone out of the link.
Petra looks around the room noticed the time. It been an hour, already since she entered.
“Alder I might leave.”
She didn’t get much, “understand, you may leave” her voice was distance, her mind was relaying the images.
Petra quickly gets herself together and leave the room. Her breathing wasn’t great. She didn’t want anyone to see her panic. That was a lot to see and feel. The pain, the fear. All of it, it was just too much. And there was Raelle holding all of it, ‘she stronger than all us’ she thought. ‘us it’
She straightens her clothes and head of to her office, she needs a moment before found out if any of her message she sent out to the spree had returned.
“That it, the liquid. I have found it only goes after witches or those with our blood.” Izadora says her voice a little higher than normal.
“that also explain how the bomb was active, this liquid was design to attack that device. But the only difference is the stuff we found was a lot black. Like you couldn’t see it. That stuff was greyer.”
Raelle mind finally put it together, quickly stands knocking her chair over her hand on her table she froze whispers, “witch plague”.
Alder and Izadora watches as Raelle tits her head of to the side a strong indicator she was using farspeech.
*****
‘the witch plague has been deployed’ her mind linking with hundred at once.
‘reinforce the barrier, all members might report in at once don’t care if it breaks their cover. It no longer a spy game. It war’
A deep voice though, “are you sure, Raelle”.
‘that explosion that killed over a 3000 people, that was their test. And it worked. I will inform them on everything we know, Bearkiller I need someone with knowledge and clearance to speak with Alder and Izadora their science officer.’
“I can arrive within an hour; with all the information we need”.
‘bring Scylla and Olly. I need them. This will be good; I have something for you Bearkiller. Everyone days of hiding is over, uniform we should us this.’
She gets a shout yes sir. Before everything become silence.
Her and Bearkiller talk about Scylla that she needs more time to heal.
‘I know that’s why she will be staying inside medical the whole time. She is here. Until I am satisfied with her care’
“understood over”.
That was that here link was broken.
******
She turns around taking a step away from the table. A tear runs down her face she could stop it.
She walks until the wall stops her. She rests her head against the cold wood.
“the witch plague. Is Camarilla work”.
Is the first thing she said out loud for a long minute.
“it was once apart of the mother, it used to protect them all. Protect the young witches. I don’t know much. Bearkiller know a lot more.”
“then what do you know” Alder spoke softly understanding that Raelle was just a scared children right know.
“there can change it, to there will. To kill one or many. I show it in action at the slumber party. There showed it off. It was a sight, that I will never not forget.”
She closes her eyes; she could hear them scream. Over and over.
‘let me out’ a voice in the back of mind whispered to her. ‘not yet my friend, we haven’t found them yet’.
The voice hummed in understanding and quiet itself. She pushed the scream aside, just about. She could allow her trauma to overtake her right know. Not while she was this close of found the last person, the mystery person. The person who helps rip her apart.
“Alder there had been a change of plans.” Her voice sound strange but she didn’t care not right know.
“which is” her voice still soft.
“Scylla coming with the next hour, along with Bearkiller and Olly. There has more information for you Izadora about this witch plague. Bearkiller is one of the best we have and a council member”.
Raelle finally turned to them.
“let us discuss, your finding Izadora, while we wait.”
