Shattered

53

We get back to New Orleans, after two weeks, and I drop my stuff off at my apartment. We're gonna buy a house right outside the city. We got a call saying some witch with a B in Calixs family was coming to town to "kill us all". Literally all of his family have tried to kill us, so I'm not worried. I still haven't told him I'm pregnant. I wanted to give us the thrill of being married again before I hurt his mood. I'm still scared he won't want another child. Also, his and Hayley's daughter, Hope, is coming home today.

I walk through the town, admiring the view, when I see a woman staring at me. I look at her confused, but shake my head. I then go into Rousears, and sit at a booth. Cami walks over, and I smile st her. "What can I get ya?" She asks. "Just a coke. Thanks." I say, and she nods.

The door opens, so I look up. There I see the woman from outside. I gulp as she stares me down, and she walks over to me. I stand up, and Cami walks over to us. She goes to hand me my coke, but I speak up, "Cami, go tot the back, and don't come out until I say it's okay." I say, and she nods. She puts the tray down on the table next to me, then runs away from us.

I wipe my hand, and everyone gets up to leave the restaurant. I then lock the doors without touching them, and she smirks. "You think you scare me, darling?" She asks. I wince at the sound of her voice, and she steps closer. "Don't worry, dear. I'm not here to kill you. Not yet. I just wanted to meet you personally. Also, I wanted to congratulate you in person." She says. I cock my head to the side, and she puts her head to my stomach. A pain shoots through me, and I groan. I wrap my arms around my stomach, then flip my wrist.

She flies against the wall, and I make the knifes lift into the air. I let them fly into her, and she gasps. I twist my wrist, and her head snaps to the side, then down. I sigh, and unlock the door.

"You can come out, Cami." I yell. I hear footsteps, and she pads into the room. "Who was that-" She says, but stops when she sees the woman stuck to the wall. "Sorry about the mess." I say, and she sighs. "It's okay. You did what you had to. You did have to do that, right? Like, it was a matter of life or death?" She asks, and I nod. "Okay. That's okay. I'll just, um, call Marcel to, um, take care of it." She says, and I nod. I should probably go before I get a lecture. I say bye to Cami then leave.

I get to my apartment, and my mind immediately goes deep.
