Chihiro's expression read bored as she moved the boquet away from her face whilst lying on the back seats. It seemed apparent that the car journey to their new house would take hours when she sat up and noticed odd looking statues. "What is that?"now, let’s crank the music.” They got out YouTube on their phone and played Ole by Adelen.
One more time, turn up the music and look to the sky. This is the moment, the time of your life. Emily did the dance moves and we joined in too.
The song ended and we all applauded. Then Merlin and Colin came to join us. “We felt a disturbance.”
Colin cleared his throat. “There must be some limitation on what Gaius could do, right?”
“Yes, Colin.” Godric held up a hand for silence. “We will need to group together and stop Gaius for good.”
“Well,” Merlin said, “we can use the secret weapon. That will stop the Ultimate Demon.” Merlin had a plan. He suggested that we did like the Numberjacks episode where 11 numbertakers took each other out – Into the Teens – to get rid of Gaius.
“What if he catches onto that plan?” I asked. “Do you have plan b?”
“I’ll see if there is Excalibur lying somewhere.”
I laughed quietly. Luckily no one had taken us prisoner. “At least back at the Academy, we did not have to worry about such matters. Though after what had happened, it felt like the cloud of fear lingered for months.”

At least it wasn’t like in Tess of the d’Urbervilles where Tess had been attending mass, some few weeks after the disaster that happened in the woods, but then the other villagers turned up and saw her and whisper things that Tess knew what they were saying and could never go to church.
In the middle of the night, in the light of a full moon, commenced the ritual of the final sacrifice. We watched the scene unfold behind a tree.
The woman who was dressed like Camane from Empire was lying on a stone table, with demons bowing in a circle and Gaius stood over the stone table, the look on his face saying that he knew well that we were watching.
“Enjoying the show?”
“There’s no enjoyment in slaughter,” Florence pointed out.
Gaius smirked. “You cannot stop me.” He then invaded my personal space. “You’re mine forever.”
“No, I am not,” I told him.
Dean lunged at Gaius and stabbed him with a dagger as Gaius melted like ice cream and stabbed the acolyte and they were both gone, along with the demons.
“What was that?” I asked.
“That was the ceremonial dagger designed by Him to destroy Gaius, should he ever be unleashed and wreak havoc,” Godric said.
