EPISODE 20
New York
Jenny sees Abby trapped in a city that should not exist… and realizes the OtherWorld has finally found them.
She says without considering the Changeless also standing there, now looking at her more interested than they were a few seconds ago.
Emily and Zara turn to face Jenny, both looking worried.
“What was it, Jenny?” Emily asks.
“Tell us,” Zara insists.
“It’s Abby. She’s in a place with grand and statuesque structures built close together. Abby is in this place called, New York. I’ve seen it before… in the Wishing Well, that’s why I recognise it.”
“Are you sure, Jenny? You have to be a hundred percent sure,” Chris asks, shocked.
Jenny shakes her head a little, to clear her mind of the vivid images. “I’m sure. It’s the place I saw in the Wishing Well.”
Worried, Emily turns to Chris, “But Abby was with you yesterday and last night, wasn’t she?”
“She was supposed to meet me for lunch, but she didn’t show. I thought the four of you were working through your issues, adjusting to the fact you have these powers and the implications of the prophecy, so I gathered I’d just meet with her here tonight at our thanksgiving celebrations. We were on our way up when Jenny came down and questioned us.”
“You didn’t wonder where she was all day long?” Zara asks him with an accusatory tone in her voice.
“We’ve been...” He looks at Agatha for help, when he realises, he does not know how much he can or cannot say.
Jason looks disconcerted. “We should have taken greater care to protect the girls. We should have been more vigilant on this day we celebrate Mabon. The time of year when the beauty and bounty of summer give way to the desolation of winter, when darkness overwhelms the light. It’s too late now, and there’s nothing we can do, Gorgon has her.”
Agatha looks at Jenny bemused. “You wanted to know about New York, it seems you’re going to get your answers sooner than you thought.”
