Tessa closed her eyes, kneeling up before unsteadily getting to her feet. A practical thinker might come up with some clever trick to catch the Hufflepuff off guard, and yet even when she was thinking straight, she was whimsical at best. And so she pointed her wand directly at Elizabeth and hurled the first non-verbal spell that came to mind at her sister, too caught up in grief and anger to speak the words aloud.

Elizabeth gasped as an invisible hook took her by the ankle and held her in the air. Tears were streaming down her face now. "YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME! YOU NEVER THOUGHT ONCE ABOUT ME UNLESS I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU OR THINKING ABOUT YOU! YOU'RE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! YOU ALWAYS SAW ME AS SECOND BEST! WELL, THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!" She held her wand to her head, choking with her own laughter. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

She cried out in physical pain as the reality of what had happened hit her. Her knees gave way beneath her, and she sank to the bloody floor. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," came her whisperings again and again. To Nic, to Giovanni, to Bianca, and to her sister. I'm sorry.

Elizabeth and Giovanni crashed to the floor. Aside from the sounds f Nicolas's shaking breaths and Giovanni's movements, the Hospital Wing was completely silent. Blood and death reeked in the air.

Tessa lifted her head at last, eyes swollen as she took in her surroundings. A sob escaped her lips and she held her breath to prevent the escape of another one.
A few moments later, the door opened and an unearthly scream sounded as the Matron lay eyes upon the scene, her lunch tray clattering to the floor.

Giovanni staggered to his feet, ripping a strip of cloth from Bianca's sheets and wrapping it around Nicolas's eyes. Tears traced their paths down his face and he didn't trust himself to speak, refusing to look at the mangled bodies of his cousins.

The matron busied herself with checking Bianca and Elizabeth for any signs of life, sweating profusely as she did so. Meanwhile, Tessa staggered to her feet and headed in the direction of the door, breathing heavily. This was all me. Bianca and Lizzie... Elizabeth, are both dead, and it's all my fault.

Nicolas put his hands forward, feeling air, his voice coming out as a weak bleat. "Tessa! Tessa!"

She froze, closing her eyes. Her hands curled into fists at her side as she remembered the way they had confessed to each other the night before. And yet now... He still needed help. Preferably not her help. Despite herself, she turned and made her way over to him, closing her hands around his. "I... I'm here, Nic. I'm sorry."

"Tessa," he croaked, tears dripping down his face and staining the cloth around his eyes. "Tessa, there's blood. Everywhere. And I... I can feel her, Tessa. In my head, in my memories, in my mind. Elizabeth tied her to me. She's here, and she's scared. We need to get out of here."

"I don't understand," she mumbled in reply, each one of her senses muted and delayed. "What... Nic, I dont..." Her words were confused, and spilled from her mouth without moderation. "It's over. Li- Elizabeth, she's dead."

"Not Elizabeth," he whispered. "Bianca. She's... she's there, I know she is. In my head. Her voice is really quiet, but she's there and she's scared and she's sad..."
"Tessa," Giovanni murmured. "We have to go. We have to get out of here."

Vincent slowed to a stop when he reached the entrance to the hospital wing. He opened the door slowly, his other hand still holding Jane's arm for comfort.
"Wait, why'd you bring me here? Is something wrong with Bian—" Jane caught her breath mid-sentence at the scene in front of her. She stood in a stunned silence, clapping her hand over her mouth. Tears blurred her vision as she pulled away from Vincent, walking slowly towards the others.

Ricardo was crouched next to Bianca's body, shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Everything was scarlet and sticky with blood, a small pool of which vaguely reflected the glow of the moon.

Cora walked in a moment later, completely unaware of what had happened. She froze in the doorway, looking shocked and placing her hand over her mouth. "What- what the hell happened-"

"No!" she croaked loudly, sinking to her knees next to Ricardo. "NO!" Jane bit her lip, but couldn't hold back the sobs. She closed her eyes tightly, her tears making their way down her face. Gently, she lifted Bianca's head and shoulders, cradling her sister in her arms. Her voice was hoarse as she demanded between sobs, "Who did this? Who would do this?"

Giovanni looked up with a shaky sigh. "Elizabeth went crazy. She did some sort of ritual. Nicolas was knocked out, and she used Bianca's blood to make him able to see. And then she killed herself."

"W-wait. Nic can see?" Cora slowly walked closer, her footprints leaving a bloody trail.

"She's insane! And now my sister's dead because of her!" Jane shouted. "This can't be happening. It can't be! This has to be a—a dream or something! Yeah, just a nightmare!" she continued, growing slightly hysteric. "Giovanni, wake me up! Wake me up now! I don't want to see this anymore!"

Giovanni gently grabbed Jane's hand tears streaming down his face. "Jane. I know. I wish it was a dream. It's real, Jane. It's real and we can't stop it." His voice broke.
