Barbarians And The Jacobson

The large wooden gate located at the entrance of the fortress was thrown open as the barbarians approached. The barbarians and the Jacobson family made their way through the gate and up to the front doors of the fortress which was already opened. Charles ordered the Jacobson family to be locked away in the dungeon, and he told the siblings that he would come visit them later that night. The siblings were lead through a rotting wood door and down a hallway with walls lined with torches that filled the passageway with light. At the end of the hallway was a metal door which one of the barbarians threw open and the Jacobson family were pushed into a room which only source of light was a small barred window. Two members of the Jacobson family were chained to each of the dungeon’s three walls. A bag that was impossible to see through was
placed on each of the siblings' heads the barbarians walked out of the dungeon and slammed the metal door shut. Daniel, Arthur, Gabriel, Gwen, Amara, and Linda hung from the walls not saying a word to one another and wondering what tortures they would soon face.
Hours later the metal door opened up and the sound of footsteps filled the dungeon. The bags were pulled off the siblings' heads, but they still couldn't see anything since their eyes had yet to adjust to the room's lack of light. Once their eyes adjusted they saw that Richard, Charles, and someone unknown woman in her early twenties were standing before them. The woman introduced herself as Charles and Richard's sister Cynthia Magnus, and she the Jacobson family that she was a witch. The siblings began to laugh at this remark thinking that Cynthia was a madwoman who had no concept of reality. The laughter caused Cynthia's heart and mind to slam into a wave of anger. Cynthia raised her right hand which was producing a glowing ball of energy that lit up the dungeon. The ball of energy formed six hands that wrapped themselves around the necks of the siblings. Their bodies started gasping for air in their attempt to stay alive, but their minds were praying for the grim reaper's sweet
embrace. Charles snapped his fingers, and his sister closed her right hand causing the energy to disappear.
