John nodded and muttered “I haven’t heard from Chas...it’s not like him not to at least send word of some kind...I’m worried something went very wrong...” he cursed then moved the notebook towards her. “I have her locations up to three months ago. She hasn’t been attacked as far as I can find...but it looks like she’s been careful with where she went” he then heard his phone and checked it. He frowned and said “it’s almost done...and Chas is sorry for calling you red? I won’t ask...”

Serena’s eyes snapped open and she lost it. She slammed him against the wall and yelled “you don’t get to die here monster! You get to live with your pain for a good long time..until another magic user takes pity on you and frees you from your mental prison!” She slammed her hands together and the shadows shifted, tightening around him till brands appeared all over him. She took a step and waved her hands out. The shadows vanished and the doctor hit the floor, still breathing. Serena was panting, blood dripping from her nose. 

“Now you truly suffer...I’ve trapped you in your mind for as long as those brands are in tact. And trust me...only the gods can break them. You can’t talk, move, even blink on your own...and every hour on the hour..you will relive the torment of those you harmed...all at the same time. It will feel like your dying, but you won’t...and you will never sleep again. Just nightmares and torment the rest of your days...which won’t happen until I’m done with you...” she turned and stumbled out of the room, slamming the door open. 

In the hallway she leaned against the wall, breathing hard and shaking.
