The coven are sat around for the morning meeting, Madison, still holding your hand, speaks in her typical satirical cynicism, as the rest of the sisters speak of Queenie's introduction to the school. As Queenie erupts at the blonde, the door swings open, revealing Spalding, the school's butler, chauffeuring two detectives into the room.
Detective Sanchez: Ms Foxx?
Cordelia: Yes?
Detective Sanchez: Detective Sanchez, NOPD Homicide
You share a nervous and knowing look with Madison and Zoe. The detective points to the other man.
Detective Sanchez: My partner, Detective Stiles
Cordelia: What's this about?
Detective Sanchez: We'd like to have a word with a boy of yours, and a couple of girls
Again you share a nervous look with Madison, Zoe looks down to the ground, shell shocked. Minutes later the three of you sit in a room away from the other girls, Cordelia sits next to you as the detective begins his interrogating, targeting Madison.
Detective Sanchez: When a movie star like you shows up at a sorority house, people are gonna pay attention to where you go and with who. Lots of people saw you go into a back room with some of the guys on the bus
Madison's constant visage of strength is visibly cracking, she keeps it together but she struggles to maintain eye contact, anger courses through your blood.
Y/N: What does that have to do with the bus flipping?
Madison looks at you, annoyed by your interjection.
Cordelia: These are teenagers, how could they possibly do that? This all seems so silly
Detective Sanchez: I'm just looking for someone who had a motive to hurt those guys, who could've screwed with the brakes or steering column
He looks Madison in the eyes, she meets him, eternally strong.
Detective Sanchez: Maybe whatever happened in that room was upsetting
Zoe: Shouldn't we have a lawyer here or something?
Detective Sanchez: We're just talking
Y/N: Look all you need to know is that we hadn't met those guys before. We didn't know them, hell we barely spoke to them all night
Madison: Yeah, they took me in the back room to try to get me high but i said no
Zoe: She's sober
You laughed.
Y/N: Except vodka
You and Madison smiled at one another, stifling a laugh.
Cordelia: Uh, my son and Madison have a wicked sense of humour, but she's come a long way with her addiction issues, we were very proud of her
The detective motions to Zoe.
Detective Sanchez: Can I ask why you visited one of the survivors in hospital?
You look at Zoe, attempting to hide your shock. You then look to Cordelia and Madison, all shuffling in your chair at the revelation.
Zoe: Um... I felt bad for him. We-we just met the night before. He seemed nice
Detective Sanchez: He died right after you left. Doctors can't figure out how, but when we checked you out, we found out another boy you knew died the exact same way right before you got here. Boy named Charles Taylor
You could see Zoe cracking under the pressure, tears coming to her eyes, you and Madison maintained your composure, looking at one another begging for the girl to stay calm.
Zoe: THEY GANG-RAPED HER, AND THEY GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED
You and Madison look to her, shocked.
Detective Sanchez: How did you flip the bus? Was it the wheels?
You had to think fast.
Y/N: It was the wheels
Madison: Seriously it was, no idea what she's talking about, I... nobody raped me, clearly she's lost her mind
Zoe shot to her feet.
Zoe: Madison did it, she can move things with her mind! And I killed that asshole in the hospital. I have powers. We're witches
Y/N: I'm sorry, detective. She's clearly suffering some kind of mental break
Zoe: No! No, enough lying. It's over! Everyone here is a witch! I'm so sorry, please don't send us to jail
Suddenly your grandmother walks in.
Fiona: Nobody's going to jail people. Leave us please, kids
The three of you rush to the two girls' room, immediately an argument breaks out between them.
Madison: What the hell was that you stupid bitch! Have you lost your mind?!
Zoe: I'm sick of lying! Those guys are dead Madison! What worse could possibly happen!?
Madison: We're about to be sent to jail for murder you idiot! Why couldn't you just stay calm, me and Y/N had no fucking problem but no, of course you're too mentally fucking deficient to do that
Y/N: Hey, calm the fuck down Fiona will fix it!
Madison: No! You may not realise cos you were busy getting high with some fucking Mexicans in Spain fucking every girl that threw herself at you! But I'm supposed to be cleaning up my act! When this gets out I'm screwed!
Zoe: Who cares?! This is murder! Like, multiple murders
Madison: They're not gonna find any evidence we messed with the bus cos we didn't mess with the bus!
You look to Zoe.
Y/N: What the hell did you do to that bastard in the hospital?
Fiona bursts through the door.
Fiona: Idiots.
She catapults the two of them into the walls of the room.
Y/N: Grandma what the fuck?!
You rush to Madison's side, helping her to her feet.
Fiona: Have you any idea what's going on out there? I forgave your ham-handed mass murder business with the bus- overexuberance of youth and all that- but if you ain't got the goddamn brains to know that when a stranger comes knocking, asking questions, we close ranks, then our line is truly at an end!
Zoe: But they knew so much already!
Fiona: I couldn't toast bread with the heat they were putting on you. You are soft. You're emotional. You care what people think. If there's one thing you learn before leaving this place, it's that we, even the weakest among us, are better than the best of them.
Y/N: What's the verdict then? We getting arrested?
Fiona: You are missing the point
Madison: And the point is...
Fiona: The point is... in this whole wide wicked world, the only thing you have to be afraid of, even you Y/N... is me.
Your grandmother struts out the door, you look to Madison worried, she looks to you, giving an assuring look that she's ok, before hugging you. Silently you both look to Zoe, annoyed and frustrated by her incompetence, almost in agreement with your grandmother. Maybe she was just weak.
