Judith was in complete shock after her brother was tossed like a sack of coffee beans across the little coffee shop. She looked toward the door frame. A man, just a little over six feet, stood where the wooden door had been moments ago. His skin was dark; he had dark brown almond shaped eyes, black buzz cut hair. He was in all black from neck to black booted covered toe. He looked around slightly and noticed Eli was slowly getting up. He looked satisfied and with a pleasantly evil grin he spoke. “Judith and Eli Gibson; the lovely twins.” He spread his arms like angel wings. “I am here to kill you! I am Octavius a child of the light” He started laughing hysterically. He stopped and looked confused. “No, that is not right I have to capture you. Only if you resist can I kill you.” He smiled, eyes lighting up like a child’s. “Please resist.” He said then within a blink of an eye his hand was on Eli’s neck again. 

Judith could feel tingling in her neck she tried to think of something fast. Her eyes caught on a small cat statue that was in the corner of the room. She rushed over placing her hand above it and willed it to life. Judith spoke to the clay feline asking it to help her twin brother. The little thing ran at full speed jumping on to the tall man biting into his neck. Octavius started to giggle. “It tickles.” The man pushed the feline off making it bust into tiny pieces. He looked saddened at first like a boy who lost his puppy. Octavius slammed Eli into the glass case that held the pastries. Looking back at Judith he smiled his little evil grin. “You want to play with me now?” Judith was starting to panic her body tingling all over from where her brother was being abused. Backing up was all she could think of to do. She was too scared to try anything else. [i]Maybe we should just give up if we did that then we would live, right?[/i]

Her thoughts where interrupted by the ground beginning to shake. She looked up in relief Eli was kneeling on one knee calling on his earth power. Within seconds Octavius was falling into a sinkhole. Eli jumped up quickly grabbing his twin and dashing out of Pop’s Coffee Den. By the time they past the little glass window outside the man Octavius was halfway out of the sinkhole laughing. Judith stopped making Eli jerk backwards a little. “What the hell love? We have to get out of here!” She shook her head fiercely. “You said you would not use your power in front of people or without me around!” She yanked her hand free leaning aback against a brink building, three blocks away from the small coffee shop. “I haven’t. This is not the time for this he could find us any minute.” He tried to talk to her like a child in a soothing voice. “Then how did he know who we are and what we could do?!” Judith was beyond anger at this point. They were being chased by a psychopath who could have killed someone. “How the hell should I know love! Let us just get to a hotel to figure this shit out.” He had seen the confused look and spoke before she could ask it. “We can’t go back to either of our apartments. He could know where we live. He knew are names.” Judith looked defeated but she wrapped her arms around her brother’s slightly more muscular ones and let him lead her off to a motel. 

“We should just head into London. We are only two hours away and it will give more distance between us and the crazy child of light.” Eli spoke has he rushed them past more buildings. “Alight.” Judith said pulling her body more toward her brother and using her power to feel any other users around.
