Eden Stowe shuffled forward as if mesmerized. Devan caressed the top of the trunk with the tips of her fingers, feeling each inch of the ornate lid. When she slid her fingers under the rim of the trunk it easily lifted . The old man gasped when the trunk opened for Devan and tried to shove both women aside to get inside the trunk first. A flash of blue lightening sparked from inside the chest, knocking him back onto his rear end with a thump.Jill was as shocked as he was but couldn’t help the nervous laugh that welled up in her throat. “Quite a shock, eh Eden?” she chuckled, and placed her hand on Devan’s shoulder.
“What are you?” he demanded of Devan. “They said you were a witch, but– how?”
Devan shook her head and turned away from him to look down at the opened trunk. “The how doesn’t matter now. The Org is finished. And so are you”
“What’re you gonna do to him?” Jill whispered.
“Do you have a suggestion?” Devan cut her eyes over her shoulder to look at her friend.
“I might have an idea. Yeah, maybe I do. But for now let’s have a look at your trunk.”
The old man began sputtering again, struggling to get up. For effect the blonde bared her fangs at him, then giggled when his lips pursed into a tight, white line. His eyes narrowed and a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth. Jill thought he was probably trying to formulate some sort of plan to get himself out of the bind in which he found himself. He eyed the door to the attic like a caged animal looking for an exit.
