Chapter Seven - Rooftop View
It had been very hard to find someplace where Sam could look straight at the back of the Halliwell Manor without being caught. As was he had climbed a fence and then onto someone’s roof. He was lying down on the roof with the binoculars up to his eyes, trying to get them focused on the house.
When it came into focus he saw a woman with light brown hair walking around the room. Her back was to him. Nearby he saw a dark haired woman standing over what looked like some bodies. Behind her was a man with dark blond hair. He watched the woman with light brown hair walk closer to the woman with dark brown hair.
The woman with the dark brown hair waved her arm and sent the other woman sailing. Then, she reached up her hand, as if fingering a necklace he couldn’t see from behind her, and a blue shield appeared in front of her.
The woman with the light brown hair scrambled to her feet and sent fire at the bodies on the ground.
The dark haired woman dropped her hand and the shield vanished. A wave of her arm, sent the fire away from them.
Sam could see what looked like a heated argument followed by more fire, more arm waving, and more appearances of the mysterious blue shield any time the fire seemed to be headed toward the dark haired woman or the man. He couldn’t hear anything, but for a place that no one had successfully entered in over six years, it sure was a busy place.
Suddenly, the light haired woman swung around and seemed to stare straight at him with black, souless eyes. He dropped the binoculars as his chest suddenly started to burn. He rolled over, barely suppressing the acute desire to scream as he seemed to boil from the inside out and then it stopped and he was rolling off the roof. So intense was the pain moments before that while he had enough presence of mind to grab for something to hold, he didn’t manage to successfully grab anything and he hit the ground with a crack.
