~Monday, February 15, 1937~
5:48:07 PM Julie: : ::the family is allowed to visit Maeve early in the morning, just before the hanging is to take place. Josh is in a suit and tie, with a miserable look on his face and tears in his eyes::
6:41:22 PM Maggie: Maeve: DK: ::she's wearing a dark purple dress and wearing a rather somber expression. She watches the floor as she walks, not sure what she'll even say to the woman::
6:42:57 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::has a weary, resigned look in his red eyes; he's holding Olivia close::
6:44:17 PM Julie: OL: ::is fussing a little::
6:45:54 PM Maggie: MV: ::she looks up when she hears Livvy fuss, and fresh tears immediately fill up her already red eyes. She slowly gets up from the bench. Her arms ache from being cuffed behind her for over four days now:: I...I thought...maybe you'd be taking her away? She can't stay Isaac...
6:47:06 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::softly:: They're going to remove her powers before they --- :stops, wincing::
6:47:40 PM Julie: JH: ::steadies himself against two of the jail bars, biting his lip so hard it almost bleeds, trying not to cry::
6:48:15 PM Maggie: MV: ::she cringes and looks away:: That's good...
6:50:24 PM Quantum Catz: IS: There are guards watching all of our friends, in case they try to help you
6:51:14 PM Maggie: MV: ::she cringes again:: I didn't expect them to risk it anyway.
6:53:27 PM Julie: JH: ::whispers:: They all wanted to say goodbye, but they weren't allowed in.
6:54:38 PM Maggie: MV: ::she leans up against the bars; softly:: Then you can tell them I said goodbye?
6:55:24 PM Julie: JH: ::squeezes the bars harder; just nods::
6:57:35 PM Quantum Catz: EK: ::comes into the room, watching leyla as she walks::
6:58:22 PM Maggie: LA; ::she's tired but any soreness she had Isaac fixed. She nods at Eli, silently telling him to stop worrying::
7:01:26 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::looks over at Eli for a moment as he comes in and then turns back to Maeve:: I'm sorry, there's nothing i can do to stop this
7:02:16 PM Julie: JH: ::whispers:: We tried so hard...
7:03:41 PM Maggie: MV: :;nods; sadly:: I know... I'm sorry too.
7:06:46 PM Quantum Catz: EK: ::there's a sad look in his eyes but he doesn't say anything::
7:08:18 PM Maggie: LA: ::she stands beside her husband, looking just as solemn.::
7:11:32 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::shakes a bit as he looks at Maeve; there's so much he wants to say but he can't bring himself to voice what's going to happen::
7:12:02 PM Julie: : ::a rough-looking guard in the corner grunts:: Visiting time's about over.
7:12:13 PM Julie: JH: ::shakes his head, unable to restrain the tears::
7:13:12 PM Maggie: MV: ::she winces and inches closer, softly:: It could be worse. Maybe... maybe this is the lesser of evils that could be waiting for me? We know I don't have the best of luck. ::smiles weakly::
7:15:11 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::blinks back tears:: I don't want to lose you
7:15:56 PM Julie: JH: ::reaches through the bars, trying to hug her::
7:17:25 PM Maggie: MV: ::she bites down on her lip to keep from whimpering when Josh inadvertently knocks her sore shoulders;:: Take care Josh,,, ::her voice breaks over his name::
7:18:36 PM Julie: JH: ::shivers, pulling back; he reaches out for Livvy; whispers:: I can...take her...
7:19:47 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::hands livvy over to Josh and then reaches for maeve, healing her shoulder as he touches her::
7:20:28 PM Julie: JH: ::heads towards the door, not wanting Maeve to see him cry any more than he already has::
7:20:30 PM Maggie: MV: ::she watches her daughter sadly then looks up Isaac; softly:: I'm sorry...
7:23:19 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::softly:: I love you
7:24:21 PM Maggie: MV: ::she takes a deep breath, trying to stop her tears; softly:: I've missed you so much.
7:25:12 PM Quantum Catz: IS: I've missed you too. If i...if i'd only gotten home a couple of days earlier...
7:25:28 PM Julie: : ::the guard grumbles:: All right, you two. We've got to get her ready.
7:27:18 PM Maggie: MV: ::she glares at him:: Get me ready for what? You're only leading me to those lousy gallows! ::she turns back to Isaac, her eyes desperate:: You know if it wasn't this it'd just be something else. And if you had come any earlier you might not have made it.
7:28:09 PM Julie: : ::the guard narrows his eyes::
7:30:00 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::softly:: Just...just give us a minute. I'd do as much for you
7:30:43 PM Julie: : ::the guard frowns:: All right, Mr. Kindall. But the rest of you, out!
7:32:14 PM Maggie: DK: ::sadly:: Goodbye Maeve. ::she squeezes her brother's arm as she heads out::
7:33:02 PM Quantum Catz: EK: ::softly:: Bye, Maeve
7:33:21 PM Maggie: LA: ::she nods and quietly but tearfully murmurs her own goodbye::
7:33:40 PM Julie: JH: ::is in the corner by the door; looks up; whispers:: Say "hi" to Mom for me.
7:35:20 PM Maggie: MV: ::she nods her head in farewell, unable to even mutter another goodbye then turns to Josh and nods:: I'll pass the message along. ::though she doubts she'll be anywhere near his mother::
7:36:15 PM Julie: JH: ::nods; quietly:: See you later, then. ::swallows, and walks out::
7:36:30 PM Maggie: MV: ::she winces and looks away::
7:36:39 PM Quantum Catz: EK: ::looks over at Isaac for a moment and then turns to go::
7:39:11 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::takes a deep breath, trying not to cry:::
7:40:05 PM Maggie: MV; ::she looks up at Isaac, sadly:: Don't Isaac, please? I feel guilty enough.... and you have Livvy. She'll be fine now that you're here.
7:41:23 PM Quantum Catz: IS: She should have you too. It shouldn't be like this
7:43:29 PM Maggie: MV: I know... but it's not like I'm innocent Isaac. ::she smirks:: Well, at least not on one account.
7:44:49 PM Quantum Catz: IS: I just don't want to lose you. You were only trying to protect the others
7:45:53 PM Maggie: MV: ::she nods:: But they don't understand that Isaac. ::she shakes her head:: Anyway there's no point on dwelling on something we cant change.
7:48:55 PM Quantum Catz: IS: I just...i wish... ::sighs:: I'm sorry
7:49:43 PM Maggie: MV: ::softly:: It's not your fault Isaac. ::she leans closer, wishing she could have her arms free if only for a moment::
7:50:30 PM Julie: : ::the guard clears his throat:: They'll be coming for her.
7:51:28 PM Maggie: MV: ::she looks up; pleading:: You could let him in...for a moment.
7:51:46 PM Julie: : ::the guard shakes his head:: If something happens, it'll be me on that gallows.
7:56:29 PM Quantum Catz: IS: Just for a moment, please. It's not like she can get away
7:57:42 PM Julie: : ::the guard winces, not looking too happy with himself; whispers:: Two gold.
7:58:31 PM Maggie: MV: ::she cringes:: Oh lovely. Make a profit off of it why don't you. Going to charge for a front row view of the hanging as well?
8:00:16 PM Julie: : ::the guard's eyes go cold, and he flushes:: Never mind, then.
8:03:13 PM Quantum Catz: IS: I'll give you the money if you'll let me in with her
8:03:52 PM Julie: : ::the guard glares at Maeve:: Sorry. I wouldn't want anyone thinking I was corrupt. ::turns to Isaac:: I'm going to have to ask you to leave, Mr. Kindall.
8:04:30 PM Maggie: MV; ::she pales:: They haven't come for me yet! I still have time!
8:07:17 PM Julie: : They'll be here any minute, and it won't go well if I've let him stay until then.
8:11:30 PM Quantum Catz: IS: I can't leave her...not like this
8:12:34 PM Julie: : ::shakes his head:: I'm sorry. You can kiss her if you'd like, but then you'll have to leave.
8:13:14 PM Maggie: MV: ::she pales more, shivering::
8:14:36 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::moves closer to the bars, leaning his head against them:: I love you
8:15:16 PM Maggie: MV: ::she closes her eyes, whispers:: I love you too.
8:18:13 PM Julie: : ::the guard softly says:: I'm sorry, Mr. Kindall.
8:19:35 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::leans forward to kiss her through the bars, closing his eyes, his heart aching at the thought that will be their last moment together::
8:20:26 PM Maggie: MV: ::she kisses him back, wishing the moment would never end::
8:21:14 PM Julie: : ::the door opens, and another guard comes in:: Ed! What are you letting them do?
8:21:29 PM Julie: : ::Ed winces, taking Isaac's arm:: Come on, Mr. Kindall.
8:22:58 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::back up, rather hesitantly::
8:23:33 PM Maggie: MV: ::a tear rolls down her cheek:: Isaac.... ::she follows until she hits the corner of the cell::
8:23:49 PM Julie: : ::the interrupting guard glares at the lot of them; grumbles:: Get him out of here, Ed.
8:24:54 PM Quantum Catz: IS: Maeve...
8:25:17 PM Julie: : ::the guard pulls Isaac out::
8:25:30 PM Maggie: MV: ::hurriedly:: When...when she gets older... tell her I'm sorry. And I loved her....
8:26:11 PM Quantum Catz: IS: I will, i promise
8:27:22 PM Maggie: MV: ::she rests against the bars, watching him go::
8:27:56 PM Julie: : ::the other guard comes in to watch Maeve::
8:28:20 PM Maggie: MV ::she glares at him::
8:29:27 PM Julie: : ::the guard mutters:: We're not going to take any chances with you.
8:30:00 PM Maggie: MV: ::coldly:: If I could do anything I'd have already done it.
8:30:46 PM Julie: : ::the guard shakes his head, waiting::
8:39:21 PM Julie: : ::finally, one of the head guards comes in, frowning:: The baby's powers are gone. Let's take her.
8:39:55 PM Maggie: MV: ::she cringes and moves away from the door, looking sick::
8:41:28 PM Julie: : ::the guard who interrupted comes forward, taking Maeve's arm:: Come on, now. Don't fight.
8:42:35 PM Maggie: MV: ::she bites her cheek, trying to curb the impulse to kick him:: What would be the point? You sissy's still have me cuffed.
8:43:58 PM Julie: : ::the guard shrugs, dragging Maeve out::
8:44:18 PM Maggie: MV: ::she doesn't fight but neither is she in a hurry::
8:46:18 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::is standing holding Olivia tightly, shaking a bit; tears in his eyes when he sees Maeve::
8:47:05 PM Maggie: MV: ::her eyes search out Isaac's and lock. She tears up more when she sees Livvy::
8:47:12 PM Julie: JH: ::looks at Maeve for a moment, then lowers his eyes, not wanting to see her like this::
8:48:42 PM Julie: LB: ::is at a fair distance from the gallows, wringing a handkerchief::
8:50:33 PM Maggie: MV: ::she looks up at the noose and has to bite her cheek again to keep from fainting. She's trembling, not caring for how many people are here to witness her final moments::
8:53:24 PM Maggie: LA: :;she's gone home to be the twins, unable to stomach the idea of watching Maeve hang and being unable to stop it::
8:53:52 PM Maggie: DK: :she's standing by her brothers, pale and teary eyed::
8:55:34 PM Quantum Catz: EK: ::is standing next to Dolly, having been told to stay by Leyla when he worried about letting her go on her own; he's not crying but he looks sombre::
9:00:21 PM Julie: : ::Harry's not in the crowd, but almost everyone else who's ever cared about Maeve--and some who didn't--are there. Toby is watching in disbelief, and Guy's hands are balled into fists::
9:01:17 PM Maggie: MV: :;she pulls back when she reaches the noose, gulping. Her eyes scan the crowd briefly, cringing at the look on everyone's face. She silently mouths an "I'm sorry"::
9:02:50 PM Quantum Catz: BM: ::is standing near the back, holding Ben, feeling rather nervous after having had guards watching her all day::
9:04:50 PM Julie: : ::the executioner brings Maeve to the noose::
9:05:08 PM Maggie: MV: ::she takes a deep, shaky breath, resisting a little::
9:07:04 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::lowers his head down to Olivia's, closing his eyes, not sure if he can bring himself to watch::
9:07:48 PM Julie: : ::the executioner's grip is tight, and he puts the noose around Maeve's neck::
9:07:58 PM Julie: : ::a guard nearby lists off her crimes::
9:09:03 PM Maggie: MV: ::she gasps, and tries to duck away from it:: No....
9:09:43 PM Julie: : ::another guard grabs her to hold her still::
9:10:21 PM Maggie: MV: ::she stiffens and for a moment it's clear they're the only ones holding her up. She's nearly as pale as a sheet::
9:10:40 PM Julie: : ::as they put the rope around her neck, Maeve suddenly vanishes::
9:11:01 PM Julie: : ::one of the guards holding Maeve up falls off the platform::
9:11:21 PM Maggie: DK: ::she gasps and grabs Isaac's arm::
9:11:35 PM Quantum Catz: IS: What...what happened?
9:12:00 PM Quantum Catz: EK: Looks like someone helped Maeve after all
9:12:14 PM Julie: JH: ::looks up, blinking::
9:12:32 PM Maggie: DK: ::she glances towards Becky then towards Libby:: Yeah but for how long?
9:12:43 PM Julie: LB: ::gasps, going rather pale::
9:21:27 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::looks rather in shock, his face pale::
9:23:11 PM Julie: : ::the guards glare, taking note of who's there; one yells:: Who did this?
9:24:05 PM Quantum Catz: BM: ::starts to move towards Libby::
9:28:22 PM Julie: LB: ::swallows hard, not even knowing what will happen to Maeve if she *did* send her forward::
9:29:08 PM Quantum Catz: BM: ::softly:: Libby...did you...?
9:29:58 PM Julie: LB: ::in a tiny voice:: I don't know...::doesn't admit she had wanted Maeve out of there, more than anything::
9:31:23 PM Quantum Catz: BM: Maybe we should...get out of here
9:32:17 PM Julie: LB: ::winces:: Then they'll be sure...
9:33:43 PM Quantum Catz: BM: Considering how determined they were not to let her escape, i'm not sure what they'll do if you stay
9:34:38 PM Julie: : ::one of the guards is already approaching::
9:34:40 PM Julie: LB: ::reaches out for Becky's hand::
9:37:01 PM Quantum Catz: BM: ::takes her hand, though she hesitates to teleport and prove them right if they don't have to::
9:37:44 PM Julie: : ::the crowd gladly parts for the guard, who looks at Becky and Libby, clearing his throat:: We have a few questions for you.
9:41:11 PM Quantum Catz: IS: ::pushes through the crowd to Libby, looking at her rather desperately, desperately wanting to know where Maeve is but not wanting to ask in front of the guards in fear they just arrest her too::
9:41:41 PM Julie: LB: ::softly:: I don't know what happened.
9:42:08 PM Maggie: DK: ::she follows behind him, looking worried::
9:42:33 PM Julie: JH: ::is with them as well::
9:46:49 PM Maggie: : ::another guard approaches:: You are the only two that could get her away that fast. Where is she?
9:47:17 PM Julie: LB: ::shakes her head:: I didn't do anything.
9:47:29 PM Julie: : ::the guard yells back to another:: Bring her!
9:48:42 PM Quantum Catz: BM: Wait - you don't have any proof of anything
9:48:52 PM Julie: : Proo
