 Elder Quad
Chloe growled, but she totally understood where Jodie was coming from. She had flattened herself up against the door as she heard shouts from inside the library. No, don't go an' 'elp now. Ya 'ave to keep the kids safe! Now this wasn't entirely true seeing as Jodie was in the room with Ashton and Lainie, but Axel had given her a job and she was not going to disappoint him. Ah! Her son's name! Perfect! "Obie Mathew Venezuela-Lawley! Now lemme in! It's Chloe dammit!" Now this wasn't meant to be mean, but in the position she was in she was quite vulnerable, especially if Remington suddenly burst out of the library. Yeah, that was the last thing she needed.
Finn chuckled lightly at his wife's statement then placed his arm around her. "I know. It'll be ova' soon, but I can't 'elp but think somethin' terrible migh' 'appen. Ya know us Eli. We always get the bad luck." On some levels this was truthful. Chloe had been involved in the last time Remmy attacked, as had Axel and Emmy. Now he was just bringing more and more people into the mix and that was definitely not gonna fly. And he knew Axel wouldn't let anything happen to anyone, because he loved them too much. Finn only wished he could be as strong, emotionally, as his cousin.
Ok, good. Ben had a wand now, thanks to Blair. What would they do without her? They'd probably be in a worse situation. The grudge Axel had held with her suddenly vanished. They were a team now and he had to be civil. Yeah, like Remmy was being civil right now, but someone had to be, right?
Right.
"You alright Ben?" he asked after his friend stood. That was pretty terrible, seeing your best friend's blood spilt all over your library floor. It seemed like the library was the most hostile place in movies, or so he thought. Great, my life's a movie now. Seriously, it could be. What the hell Remmy, just leave us alone. He was sick and tired of fighting for his life, but that was nothing compared to how Ben must feel. He had literally just escaped the clutches of this man and now he was being tormented again.
This was not gonna fly.
Just then, Benji burst into flames. Then, the Cruciatus curse was heard. This time Axel was ready. Watching from where the tail of the spell came from, he finally knew where Remington was standing. He gave a fleeting glance to Blair, telling her to take care of Ben. Pointing his wand in that direction, Axel was quick as a whip with his spell. "CRUCIO!" It was time to stop the madness. Remmy had interfered with their life more than enough. He was going to stop him.
Whatever the cost, Remington would bother them no more. |
