THE SHE-DEVIL AND HER ALPHAS

The stones were blasted away by a heavy spell cast by Sabrina, revealing the people hidden beneath the collapsed structure as they all got out one after the other. 

Having an inkling Lia was going to lose it, Sabrina had released a protection spell that cocooned everyone from being crushed to paste. They were all supernatural who had a faster regeneration ability, yes, but not all would survive being crushed by a massive building such as the council's especially the witches - vampires and werewolves had a higher rate of survivor 

Asher emerged from a pile of stones with Lia in his arms; she was unconscious. 

"How is she?" She asked him, concerned. 

"Unable to cause a mass destruction at the moment," Asher replied grimly. 

"We'll take care of everything here, you should go with her," Dan told him. 

Asher nodded and left with her just as Dan turned to Sabrina saying, 

"Contrary to our thoughts, the attacks were not limited here. All over the world, demons visited witches, and humans of course saw everything. Right now, there's mass hysteria in some countries, they had just learned something they shouldn't," Dan showed her a video captured on the internet about demons feasting on some humans - witches in secret. 

"This is something that has never happened before," they watched the recorder say, "From afar it looks like a cosplay but from a closer view, men, I swear those thorns are real, I touched that at the risk of my life...." the video shook violently, evidence of the man on the run, "There is no doubt, this is demons, like real demons feasting on human flesh... Is this the end time? I would no doubt believe that, I need to contact my mom but I don't think she'd be around... People are running around, I don't understand why they're targeting a certain number of - " Sabrina ended the video abruptly with a worried look. 

"Islinda wanted world domination of the witches and she half succeeded," she sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. 

"This would bring a revolution if the world figures everything and I can't be sure the change would be a good one judging from the fact our exposure started on the wrong foot - this is the reason the council kept us a secret," 

"Yes but we've been uncovered unless...." 

"A wiping spell!" Devon suggested what was on her mind as she made her arrival. 

"Exactly but we can't erase the whole world's memory and it would take a lot of time doing it one after the other and there's a possibility we might miss some people, making our effort as good as nothing," Sabrina listed the ins and outs of the plan. 

"Air," Someone said. 

"What?" Both of them turned around to see Vashti, the Council Head in charge of Africa and the only surviving Council member. 

"Every human needs air, so if we can link the wiping spell with air and with the help of an acceleration spell, we'll circulate the air and humans breathe in the spell as well, they'd have no idea what -," 

"Whoah, whoah, whoah," Devon interrupted her, " You're one of 

the bad guys and the main reason why all this shit went down in the first place, what makes you think we are going to believe a shit you say,"

Vashti took a deep breath, " I know you all hate me and no doubt still hate me - I, no, the Council deserves this - we failed you all but you don't know what would happen if the human military grasped firmly what is going on. If they know the existence of the supernatural, there would be no negotiation; either we're their weapons or their slaves. Humans have always been fearful, weak creatures, they would find a way to try to subdue us and we all know that we wouldn't let that happen which would lead to an unending world., "

"Then do the needed," Sabrina told her," Start the spell if you're so sorry,"

"I'm sorry but we're talking about a spell that has to go around the whole world, I can't do that alone. I'll need the help of all witches - sadly, including the dark witches," Vashti said. 

"What makes you think we would trust you?" A dark witch stepped forward, challengingly. 

"You can choose to trust me or not, that's your call but you should know that the human government would blame us for this assumed 'terrorist' attack and we would be hunted down like animals. So unless you want a reincarnation of the great war, this time 'supernaturals VS humans' theme, I suggest you join in my already thought plan," 

"Your plan is good but have you forgotten that some of the scenes were recorded on phones, surveillance cameras, and to add, many telecommunication satellites orbiting at 36000km above the equator," Dan pointed out. 

"That's going to be a problem," Sabrina dreaded. 

"Not if we try an EMP," Devon came up with another idea, as expected of her ability.

"What's an EMP?" Sabrina had no clue about that. 

"An electromagnetic pulse 

also called a transient electromagnetic disturbance, is a short burst of electromagnetic energy," Dan explained. 

Devon took over, "EMP interference is generally disruptive or damaging to electronic equipment. A powerful EMP directly affect magnetic materials and corrupt the data stored on media such as magnetic tape and computer hard drive," 

Dan shook his head, unsure "But then cell phones and handheld radios have relatively small antennas, and if they are not connected to electrical power supplies during the electromagnetic pulse they may not be affected, but they do rely on an intact infrastructure for communications, "

"Then we create some sort of virus that erases the rest of the information the EMP failed to wipe clean. I'm certain that everyone's gonna upload the video to the internet and then it gets infected - evidence destroyed. It's a solid backup plan," 

"Hello, we're lost here. Some of us aren't science geeks," Sabrina brought their attention back around. 

"To erase the information, you would have to deliver the damaging effects of a high-energy Emp which can occur as a radiated, or magnetic field or a conducted electric current, depending on the source - I'm sure you witches would work something out," Dan shrugged, this one wasn't his forte. 

Vashti gave him a skeptical look, "Isn't that going to affect the humans?" 

"EMP has no known effect on living organisms, can only temporarily or permanently disable electrical and electronic equipment," Devon rubbed her palms together, anticipatedly, " I'd work on the virus, the rest of you should attempt the wiping and EMP procedure magic, "

Vashti took offense," Who are you to order - " 

Sabrina took a step, the other witches hissed disapprovingly and put her in her place. It dawned on Vashti immediately that her power has been withdrawn, she was no more than a mere witch. 

Sabrina looked Vashti straight in the eyes, "Look here witch, If you want to make this work, you'd either take our orders or fit-out. We don't need the likes of you ruining our plans of cleaning up the mess you guys created in the first place,"

"You-!" she choked, eyes furious.

Sabrina's eyes changed to black entirely, she growled, " Are you with us or against us?"
