Capítulo 26: A case of tit for tat.

The lights in the house flickered, and there was some trembling. Pictures fell from the wall and in the kitchen glasses shattered. The Gabriel house alone was experiencing it's own earthquake. 

Phoebe remained steady and unaffected because she knew what was causing the house to shake but her parents panicked and screamed. In a move that did not even surprise her anymore, both of them rushed to protect Ruth, covering her with their bodies. 

Their actions served to anger the Saxon spirit all the more. In a time of danger, instead of protecting their daughter, they were choosing to protect someone else. What kind of parents were these? 

The spirit was about to increase her power when Phoebe shook her head, stopping her. It was no use scaring them because nothing was going to change. Her broken heart would not be mended this way.
