As Gloria tears and blood hit the ground, the cloaked man wrapped his arm around her bare waist as the man holding the knife to her throat laughed hoarsely in her ear. Her young body began to tremble. Their intention clear and her fear growing in response.
The cloaked man licked her jawline, taking each droplet of blood onto his tongue.
Suddenly the ground around them shot up in flames in casing the men in a tight circle around young Gloria, then the ground gave way, plunging them into the earth below, leaving Gloria on a round platform with her two knifed attackers, both wildly looking around, confused and fearful.
A spiral of wind and lightening came though the flames and floated above Gloria and her captors. The woman within in the wind, held hands in a circle, heads thrown back. The flames and sands joined the spiral as their chanting grew louder.
The knifed men in their panic crawling to the edge of their sand platform, knifes laid forgotten as the woman float to the platform bringing the flame, sand and wind as a cage surrounding the platform and them all.
Gloria fell into the arms of the closest woman, the one with white blond hair drifting down her back.
"Viviene" Gloria sniffed into her dress as the brown haired woman removed her own cloak and placed over Gloria's young shoulders.
A man yelped as he touched the flamed cage, the women didn't even turn around, they knew there was no way out.
Gloria her face a washed with tears, looked up at Viviene, "Where is Mummy"
The three woman smiled "Oh she coming baby, she coming"
