I closed my eyes as a sudden white light flooded the room. I braced for the impact of something that never came. Jennifer writhed about in agony in my arms and I felt the harshness of the white light morph into a softer yellow. I opened my eyes and realized that we were now in the center of my lounge. The office carpet tiles under my knees had been replaced by the softness of the carpet at number thirteen Charm Close. I wasn’t sure what had caused the white light, but the golden glow from the lamp next to the couch was now illuminating the extent of Jen’s injury. My magic had brought us here, I had used a transportation spell in a panic, and it paid off.

“Jen. We’re safe now. Jen…what should I do?” I asked. She was in no position to answer. Blood had saturated her shirt and coat and was pooling onto the ground beneath her, I had never seen a wound like this.

But… I had!

This was the same type of injury that Joseph had been covered in. This is what Sophia had identified as being caused by ‘really dark magic’, whatever that meant. “Quin!” I shouted as loudly as I could.

He ran into the room, followed by the six other cats. The tone of my voice had clearly indicated that I needed help, as I was lucky enough to have seven familiars there was a good chance that collectively they could do something useful. They stopped in the doorway of the lounge to assess what they were looking at, Quin spoke first.

“Delphi,” he said. “Take the others upstairs to the closet mirror. Explain to Edith you need to cast a fortification spell. Go now.” The six of them turned and thundered up the stairs while Quin leaped across the room to my right-hand side. He looked up at my face and then back to Jennifer. There was so much blood. This had been the image I had seen in my premonitions, my blood covered hands and a feeling of terror.

After a few silent moments of thought, Quin closed his eyes. A flash of white light flooded the room, just as it had at the office. I recoiled from the brightness that left green and yellow halos in my eyes, blinking to restore my sight quickly to interpret the figure now standing in the room with us. It was Amber, the head of the council.

She looked around, her body poised defensively as if ready to pounce, she saw us and dropped to her knees beside Jennifer.

“What happened? Nora? Nora!” Amber was looking at me searchingly and I had nothing to say. I didn’t know what had happened, I just knew that if Jen lost much more blood that not even magic could save her.

“Amber, you have strong healing magic. Do what you can, I will assist you,” Quin said. “Nora, take this laptop and store it somewhere safe. We need to be prepared for the inevitable intruder seeking what you have taken.
