Quentin knew that there was nothing that he could do to stop Mrs Laderman, she was just too powerful, all he wanted to do was protect Claudia from her. Every time he tried to save Claudia, every time he stepped in front to stop Mrs Laderman, she always found a way to hurt the girl he loved. She was always there waiting for them, never letting them leave.
It got to a point where Quentin was so frustrated by never being able to leave and protect Claudia that he took his anger out on her, they argued - much to the glee of Mrs Laderman who could see that the fighting was tearing them apart and making Claudia vulnerable. As the days wore on and they fought even more, Quentin could feel something different start to happen, he was no longer tied to Claudia as much which meant he could leave if he wished to. As he was so sick of the arguments he decided to leave Claudia in his past and move on. However when he took one step out of the door, Mrs Laderman was laying in wait for him, it only took a small amount of her magic to propel him down the back stairwell of the apartment block and into the unkept garden area where no one dared enter.
As Quentin fell further down he thought about Claudia and how much he wished he hadn't left and how sorry he was for arguing with her, until his thoughts were broken by sharp stabbing pains all over his body. He didn't want to move, his eyes stayed closed hoping and praying that nothing was broken, all he could hear around him was the rustling of the trees until Claudia's screams broke the silence. He bolted straight up, he didn't care about the pain any more, all he needed to get to was Claudia. He opened his eyes to look up at her but everything was clouded. Bringing his hands up to his eyes he felt something protruding from them, not thinking he pulled them out. He thought this would make things all better, he would be able to see again but as soon as he pulled them out everything turned to darkness...
