The rest of Maeve’s night went by pretty uneventful, other than the fact that she now had a lot on her mind. She’d sat in a lounge chair in her hidden house outside of Ember Grove, sipping on some brandy as she pondered what her next steps would be. Would she try to keep the peace still with Alexander or was it truly time to say enough? To gather allies and fight back? These thoughts plagued her deep into the night until she couldn’t resist her exhaustion any longer.

The next morning she woke up not in the most pleasant of moods, what with her lack of sleep and stresses on her mind. She still got herself ready for the day, however, as she was opening the shop alongside one of her human employees, Hazel. She was [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7e/af/3a/7eaf3a11cc9cbd5fb34aa651a9f4a479.jpg]dressed in a drastically different outfit[/url] than what she’d been dressed in the night before. Her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/13/2d/2f/132d2f90f3f2e9a082168b486b6388d9.jpg]makeup was different[/url], but not something out of the ordinary for her when she was working and her hair she kept in loose, messy waves. When she was satisfied with how she looked she walked out to her garage which was full of an assortment of vehicles, but she got herself into her [url=https://i.pinimg.com/564x/aa/5a/b5/aa5ab545b655459aea948fc366387260.jpg]old 1973 VW Beetle.[/url] She started the classic car up and began her trek back into town.

She pulled up to the back of the Witches Brew just before Hazel pulled in and got out of the car, waiting for the young woman to park as well and join her. [color=7cad58]”Good morning Hazel, I hope your morning has been good so far.”[/color] She greeted the woman with a friendly grin which was returned to her.

[color=6E6241]”Good morning! Yes, actually, it has been a wonderful morning so far. I just woke up in such a good mood that I have good vibes about today.”[/color] Hazel said happily in reply as she walked with her boss towards the shop. Unfortunately Hazel’s cheerful mood was about to take quite the hit. Maeve noticed it first, the back door seeming to have been busted open and she immediately went on alert. She slowed Hazel down and silently pointed out the alarming sign. [color=6E6241]”Oh no…”[/color] Hazel said as they both slowly made their way into the shop.

It was quiet which had Maeve hopeful that whoever broke in had taken what they wanted and left. She turned to look to her employee and instructed her, [color=7cad58]”Go check the register up front and see if there’s anything left in it. I’m going to check the security cameras really quick and then we need to call the cops.”[/color] Thankfully Maeve didn’t keep much in the register at night, only a small amount for whoever was opening in the morning to start their day. If somebody had robbed them then they wouldn’t have made off with much.

Maeve had just begun looking at the security camera videos when a blood curdling scream came from Hazel. Dread overcame the witch as she sprinted towards the front of the shop. The sight she was met with was quite gruesome, but not the worst thing she’d ever seen in her long life. For Hazel, on the other hand, the sight would have been horrendous and terrifying. She quickly grabbed ahold of Hazel and turned her away from the scene, pulling her into a comforting hug. [color=7cad58]”Shhh it’s okay. How about you go outside and call the police for me. I’ll join you shortly, I’m going to get those security tapes ready for them when they get here okay?”[/color] She spoke gently to the girl who took a moment to nod and bolt outside sobbing crying.

Once Hazel was gone, Maeve took a minute to glance around at the scene, her arms crossing over her chest. As soon as she read the spray painted name of Shay she immediately was filled with anger. Had Drake really instructed his goons to do something like this to her shop even though she’d truthfully told him she didn’t know this Shay? She was full of pure fury as she took in everything that had been done to her shop. Then her eyes landed on the eyeballs and she smirked a bit to herself. What useful items to leave behind. She conjured both eyeballs into her hand and then decided to do the same with the tongue, just to keep it from looking too suspicious. The tongue to her was useless and could be disposed of, but the eyeballs were precious things.

She turned to exit towards the back of the shop when something caught her eye out the window. It was a small blip of red and as she looked closer she realized it was a person sitting on the roof of the building next to hers and watching. [color=7cad58]”Intriguing…”[/color] She mumbled to herself and cast invisibility on herself as she decided to greet the new friend. In a matter of minutes she was on the roof and standing behind the young redheaded man. She’d made sure all her wards and protections on herself were in place as always before heading up there just to be safe, but now she was ready to confront the suspicious man.

[color=7cad58]”Well, well...I’m assuming you are the one that left me that lovely gift down there, are you not?”[/color] She said as she let the invisibility drop and she stood with a hand on her hip. [color=7cad58]”Oh, but how rude of me to assume. How about we find out for sure, hmm?”[/color] She then said as she conjured one of the eyeballs in her hand and then began muttering something under her breath. In a moment the eyeball was floating and glowing slightly before an image appeared before both of them. It was the last image the man had seen of Noah feeding off of him. [color=7cad58]”What an uncanny resemblance, don’t you think? This is the last thing that poor man saw before he died, strange that it was of you.”[/color] She sighed before letting the image drop. [color=7cad58]”Now…”[/color] She began before muttering ‘summone lux’ and a chain of light wrapped itself quickly around Noah, holding him in place. She then cast a duplicate spell as she moved closer to Noah, four of her now surrounding him. To him they would all smell the same, look the same, and move and speak all the same at exactly the same time. [color=7cad58]”Tell me why Drake sent you to do this to my shop? I informed him last night I knew nothing of this Shay person. Does he truly wish to throw our friendship out the window? If so, there will be consequences.”[/color] She asked Noah angrily, the duplicates all imitating her and causing the questions to sound unsettling as the sound surrounded him and all four Maeve’s slowly circled him.
