Burn brightly little one to keep the monsters away...

Miss Toulouse bedroom door swung open with such force it nearly came of the hinges, Ally ushered in the ladies who all wore identical ashen pale faces and bulging eyes - whatever they'd seen had scared them to their core. These ladies had seen and endured the worst of humanity, they did not scare easily.

Ally didn't need to say a word to Lola, the fear poured off in waves, this was the moment they had all anticipated, Evelyn was here - but where was Phoenix?

"Ladies I need you stay here with Miss Toulouse" Ally barked, as she went straight in to police officer mode, trying to control an uncomfortable situation "We will handle this but we need you to watch over Miss Toulouse and let no one in".

They nodded their heads in unison, not quite sure what they are agreeing to but agreeing none the less.

Ally flew out the room with Lola hot on her heels, bounding down the stairs two at a time.

"Where's Phoenix?" Shouted Lola, panic cracking through Lola's voice.

"She's holding Evelyn back" Ally shouted over her shoulder as she shot down the hall, past the sitting room,through the kitchen then into the garden.

Once out in the garden they was met by a hypnotic ice blue ball of flames that flickered 6ft eye high and four ft wide and within the centre was Phoenix.

Evelyn taunting laugh cackled at the sight of them, as Dexter sat proudly in front of his masters feet "You have back up, ahhh girl gang - should we all have a sleep over and braid each others hair then we can tell each other our secrets".

Phoenix didn't utter a word as she desperately concentrated her mind to control the fire, keeping a wall of flames in front of Evelyn so she couldn't enter the house, whilst trying to not let the rage of the flames consume her.

"I've got secret for you Evelyn - your cunt, ohh wait a minute that's not a secret, everyone knows that" Ally barked back.

Evelyn howled with laughter "Guilty ... I'am a cunt, the biggest, baddest cunt that's ever walked this earth, I'm cunt because unlike you stupid whores I don't try to blend in to bland humanity or bow to anyone, I'm unstoppable force and there is nothing you can do about it - after all I've killed you before, I'll do it again".

Phoenix tiny body began to shake as every cruel word dripped from Evelyn lips, her hatred and rage seems to trickle into Phoenix's flames and ignite the fury of the fire, making it harder for Phoenix to keep control.

"Who's going to protect you? Your precious Miss Toulouse... I don't think so" slowly bends down to stroke the scabby scorched Dexter who's lurking at her feet "My friend told me she's a bit under the weather".

Enraged growl rumbles out of Ally "Your friend lies, she's fine".

"Maybe I should check for myself".

Evelyn began to take two steps forward but was instantly thrown back by the furious flames, shooting out from Phoenix's tiny quivering body, they erupted violently out of her, like a wild beast trying to claw its way out of her soul, determined to destroy anything in its path.

Lola leaned into Ally "She struggling to stay in control, I can feel it, it's slowly taking over her, she can't hold on much longer, we have to help her".

With raised hands in a passive stance, Ally slowly started to walk towards Evelyn, gently trying to change tact "We are not going to let you in, you won't get passed" each silent calculated step, moving closer and closer to Evelyn.

But Evelyn is no one's fool, she grabs Dexter and throws the hissing demonic cat straight at Ally, he latches on to her face, claws at her skin, manically trying to gauge her eyes out from her head in unrelenting attack, Ally dark crimson blood covers the feral wild beast only fuelling his unbridled fury further, until Ally is able to peel him of from her butchered face and fling him down on the ground.

"Do you really think I was going to let you get close enough to manipulate me Ally, how FUCKING stupid are you and you Lola the empath, how are you going to protect your beloved coven? Tell everyone how I feel - I'll save you the job .... I'll be elated and over the moon when your all dead".

Evelyn slips off her shoes and places her perfectly manicured feet onto the moist grass "You want to play girls, let's play" her body shakes as the energy from the earth flows through her veins, igniting and awakening the magic within her. Head thrown back, her eyes roll as she summons the natural elements.

The sky cracks, as silver flashes of lighting zig zags across the clouds and the heavens open up as torrential rain begins to down pour with such strength and mite, it feels as if rocks are being dropped upon them. Each drop so heavy and dense it bruises their skin upon impact.

Ally cowers in Lola's arms as the rain stings at her open woods and washes the blood from her brutalised face.

Phoenix's once mighty flames that soured high, quickly simmered down, unable to stay ablaze and burn brightly under the attack of the torrential rain, Phoenix tries desperately to keep the flickering flames strong and stay ignited to protect her coven and stop Evelyn from entering their home. She valiantly tries until every last ember is nothing more than a soft smouldering smoke, that stings at her eyes. Like empty heap, she falls to her knees exhausted, deflated and defeated.

Evelyn glides through the rain, never a single drop hitting her as if invisible umbrella is above her head, until she standing above Phoenix with a satisfied smirk etched upon her beautiful cruel face.

"Don't feel to bad, they should never had sent a child to a woman's job - it was always going to end this way, but as you've put up such a gallant fight, I will kill you first so you don't have to watch the others die because of your failure to protect them".

The once aggressive rain ceased, Evelyn hand slips down to her lower back and into her waist band of skirt, she pulls out a dagger that encrusted with dried, dirty, dark blood, from the many other witches she's killed over the years whilst walking this earth.

"Do you have any parting words you'd like me to pass on to Miss Toulouse?".

"Yes.... I'm sorry I lost control, please forgive me".

Phoenix once innocent eyes became as black as the night, like terrifying never ending dark holes that peered into Evelyn blacken soul. Balls of red fire culminated in each of her tiny hands, she savagely launched them at Evelyn, now not with the intention of stopping her but killing her. A deepen blood thirst had been awoken with her, the fire demanded death and death it shall have.

Summoning the winds of a tornado, Evelyn pushed back the balls of fire and sent them hurtling at Phoenix but they just absorbed in to Phoenix tiny body frame, sending her tiny figure ablaze into a bright red furious fire.

Fire and wind shoot across the garden as these two forces desperately try to push back the other, both women in fighting stance as they try to hold and control their element to defeat the other. This is not a battle for submission but a battle to the death.

The red birth mark upon Phoenix face burns bright as if brought to life, it glows like a beacon calling out to all that is evil and unholy.

The air grows heavy as the fire grows stronger, pushing the wind back, step by step, closer to Evelyn Phoenix gets. Evelyn once polished immaculate face has become sweaty, haggard, unnerved mess as she tries to regain control, Phoenix effortlessly moves forward her skin crackling as she becomes one with the fire, leaving scorched patches in the grass as she glides nearer to Evelyn ....nearer to killing her.

Out of the silence that has washed over this garden as if they are all frozen within time,  they are all held tightly in a death grip, a firm voice breaks the deafening silence that burns at their ears "STOP... Phoenix she's your mother".
