Bloody Barnet
With a Redbright presence coming into Haringey, there was cause to act swiftly and decisively. The werewolves could be of little help now. Their own political upheaval and the coming Blood Moon meant that they couldn't throw their support behind any one faction of witches, not if they wanted the best chance of protection during their vulnerable hours. Who knew if the considerable truce Midnight had enjoyed with them would even hold after this.
Either way, it meant Enfield might soon have Redbright control to two of their borders within the city. That was an uncomfortable place to be. The situation called for drastic measures.
Which was why Abigail Widdowson had decided that the only safe thing to do -- dangerous as it was -- involved spreading their influence. They had to move, and it couldn't be against the werewolves. There were no direct hostilities with them, and she wasn't going to be the one to fire the first shot. However, Redbright had already made their move in taking Barnet. They could be struck back at.
(An open post for the failed Midnight territory claim of Barnet! I will post a few sub threads that can be used either generally or for threads with Abby. Feel free to post your own headers, too!)

Preparations - (Shadow Coven)
She'd called them together.
"If we don't act," she said, voice low, "we run the serious risk of Redbright blocking us in. The Night Council doesn't care about the werewolves, and they might well take the Forest just to have us surrounded."
She thought it was a serious possibility that couldn't be discounted.
"We have to try and expand. Now."
They'd taken Enfield, but it hadn't had a strong presence either way. This time, they would have to strike at Redbright directly. Because she wouldn't risk the tenuous alliance with the werewolves. Which meant it had to be Redbright. And they had justifiable grounds for doing what she wanted.
"I want to try and take Barnet back."
Back. As if it'd ever been theirs in the first place. But it might as well have been. It had been a haven of neutrality before.
