POV (ALEC) The smell of smoke and ash coated the air before we even saw, what we could only assume at one time had been the Elderwood's manor. The ghostly black frames of burnt wood and metal stretched to the heavens like skeletal fingers of a deadman begging for salvation. It was a horrible and gruesome scene because there were no remains. We had searched for over an hour but could not find any bodies. It was as if they had vanished or the flames had eaten them alive. I had never seen anything like it before, no that was wrong. There was only one other time I saw something similar to this. "The cabin." Oliver gasped, causing a chill to go down my spine. He was right, the last time I had ever viewed such a scene was when I threw the witches lighter at the cabin, and it burst into flames
