We Are Magic~ A Diakko and Charoix fic!

Are You Safe?

(This will be based on the assumption that Croix has an apartment and has gotten out of her rehabilitation by now. Mild cursing).

Chariot's POV

It's midnight and I was sleeping fitfully. I couldn't stop having nightmares about cloaked figures hurting me, and then one of those cloaked figures turning out to be Croix. It taunted me that it will take months for me to see her again. I can't get out of work -even on the weekends- because they make me do menial tasks that don't take any magic but take a long damn time. They treat me like I'm just another staff member that cleans up our messes instead of the witch that I am!

But the thing is, I'm not really a witch anymore, am I? I lost my magic, the main thing that makes a witch a witch. So they might be justified in making me do these tasks. Nonetheless, I hate it and it's boring.

Then my phone starts to ring. 

I know you're probably thinking that I'm not supposed to have electronics at Luna Nova, and your right, so shut up. I'm not supposed to have it, but it's really only so I can keep in contact with the outside world while doing my meaningless tasks.

Anyway, I checked the caller ID and surprisingly, it was Croix. I immediately hit accept call, wondering why she would be calling me so late, or why she would be calling me at all. 

"Croix?" I whisper into the phone, even though I'm alone (except for Alcor of course).

"Ch-Cha-Chari-ugh, Chariot?" I hear her whisper, her voice shaky and hoarse.

I immediately ascend into a panic, "What's wrong? Are you safe? What's going on?!"

I hear her coughing, then whisper, "Revenge....witches...blood,"

"Croix?! Where are you?! I'm want to help you!" I whisper, turning on my lights and getting dressed in a hurry.

Croix starts coughing really loudly and my heart aches, "Ley-leyline...terminal"

"Don't worry! I'm coming!" I yell into my phone as I slip my shoe's on and run out the door. 

Croix's POV

They came out of nowhere, attacking me from behind. I tried to fend them off, but I forgot my wand at home, so I was basically useless. I had just wanted to go out for a walk to clear my head because I couldn't get to sleep. Then they jumped me, all four of them at the same time. They seemed to be about the same height as me, definitely adults, and definitely skilled at combat.

I was on the ground in seconds, trying to get them off of me. Then, they stabbed me in my hip with all the force they could muster. I pretended to pass out, so they would go away and I could call for help. It worked and they left, snickering about how they stabbed, and I quote, "The biggest threat to magic".

Then I called Chariot because she's really the only person on my contact list that wouldn't rant about it's my fault I got stabbed. I honestly tried not to sound like I was in pain, but I couldn't help it. Chariot sounded so concerned about me, even after everything we have been through. I couldn't believe the fact that she wanted to come and help me right away.

I don't even know she would get here without flying. The leyline is only accessible by broom or if your riding something that can fly. But really, I don't care how she gets here, I just care that she does. 

And I hope she does soon because the pain is unbearable. It's like someone rebirthed a phoenix in my lower intestines. Ugh...

Then I hear someone running behind me. I instantly pretend to play dead just encase those four arseholes are back to stab me again. The running suddenly stops and I hear someone crying loudly.
