Wandering aimlessly

[Kai Kratos]

Kai's eyes narrowed as he moved to the side pulling Storm along with him, he could feel the spell cut his arm the blood tricking down his now cut shirt he smirked. "Why isn't this a special welcoming present." he pushed Storm to the side with too much force. His wand pulled out, he looked around, no one was present as he sighed and shook his head. "I don't wish to play silly games with you girl, lest of all I do not wish to start a fight so early." he raised a brow trying to determine what move she would use next on him.

Vannah had been wondering down the corridors looking for someone for a few moments. As she turned into a specific corridor, she stopped when she raised her head. She saw Storm, Pandora, and a guy she didn't yet know that looked like he was bleeding to death. Vannah stopped dead in her tracks. "What the..." She said looking at the scene. The guy must've been new for Vannah not to have known him. "Er....hey guys..." Vannah said a little questioningly, walking up to Storm and Pandora. Pandora was holding her wand and pointing it at the boy. "So...what's going on?" Vannah tried not to look disgusted at the sight of blood pouring out. It didn't bother her as much as other people, but she tried to avoid it if she could.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

Storm was shoved to the side he knocked the air out of her. She didn't feel much as she felt numb, she hoped it wouldn't result to this, but there was nothing much to do about it anymore. At first she felt something warm across her shoulder, when she turned her head she noticed the gash left upon her arm. Surprised as the pain came rushing, she thawed out of her state of numbness and was gritting her teeth keeping herself from yelling out in pain. behind her she heard the sound of Vannah and turned toward her biting her lip holding back her cry.

"Vannah." she whispered the feeling of dread creeping up on her and she pushed it aside. She was getting desperate now, looking from one to the other. She turned to Kai, she pulled her wand from her ankle and with a shaky hand aimed it at the back of Kai.

"Kai stop now." she said scathingly, she knew she would regret this, but for now she would deal with what was present

[Savannah Brooks]

Vannah immediately grabbed her wand from her pocket. "Expelliarmus! Petrificus Totalus!" She shot quickly and silently pointing her wand at the guy. She looked from Pandora to Storm in both shock and confusion. "What the hell happened?" She insisted on knowing. Vannah crouched down to Storm and pulled her wand forward before muttering various spells to try and heal Storm.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

Storm growled in frustration, this would bit them back sometime, she gave Vannah an appreciative look.

"It's ok don't attack, I'll be fine." she pulled herself up her wand still in hand as she walked closer to him her breathing getting heavier.

"It's been a while and your already stirring up some trouble, please don't get them involved in this." she said her voice turning angrier for every word uttered.

[Pandora D'Winter]

Pandora smiled happily "Yay Storm's back. Scared really isn't a good look for you, I vote that you lose it completely and never use it again." Actually seeing Storm like that had scared her more then she cared to admit. If something could happen to one of them it could happen to anyone. Especially because most of the time a guy would be listened to over a girl. Stupid social structure.

Pandora let her arm fall to her side but didn't put it away in case she needed it. She half looked over at Vannah but didn't completely take her eyes from Kai. "Great timing."

[Kai Kratos]

Kai turned towards the girl behind him, through the corner of his eyes he coudl still see Pandora and Storm. He watched as the girl sent spells hurling at him, he shook his head at her blunt performance 'pathetic' he thought to himself. He watched Storm advance on him and growled at his turn of bad luck. He was arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. Turning around he folded his arms gritting his teeth, he did not surrender nor did he give up, he was simply implying that he wasn't looking for a fight. He turned to Storm stooping to her level and placing a tender kiss on her lips, he stood straight up turned on his heel and strode away passing the new addition with narrowed eyes, he had already found his next target.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

Storm did not move as he placed a kiss, it wasn't a normal one either, it had no compassion, no feeling behind it, it was merely contact between there lips, she leaned against the wall and slid down taking deep breaths. She could feel herself shake in rage as she shut his eyes, but somehow his image still lingered behind her eyelids.

"I'm absolutely pathetic, it's not fair, I should be able to steal something of his." she knew that Pandora and Vannah didn't know what she was talking about so she looked up at both her friends.

"I have a lot of explaining to do don't I?" she said as she looked from one to the other.

[Pandora D'Winter]

Pandora crossed her arms "You think." She said sarcastically looking at her friend's face, this had better be good and if it is Storm had a lot more to explain like why Pandora hadn't found out about whatever was going on a very long time ago. "And if you want to steal something go for the pride, he seems to care a lot about that." She looked at her friend and sighed "Begin."

[Savannah Brooks]

Vannah glared at him as he passed her shooting daggers at him with her eyes. Once she was gone she looked at Storm and crossed her arms. "Shoot." She said lifting her head a little bit, ready to listen. Vannah hating the feeling of not knowing what was going on and along with a lot of people, she was a very curious person.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

She glared at Pandora.

"Shut it or lose it." she muttered darkly, pouting at Pandora's tone. She then leaned her head on her knees inhaling deeply then slowly exhaling.

"I thought I was over it, I knew that I was fine, but he just came so abrupt it took me by surprise I wasn't ready." her lower lip trembled slightly as she stood up composing herself. She put on a blank expression as she spoke, her eyes open but unseeing, as she submerged herself in her own story.

"It was two years ago at a ball in Ireland, I think you were there Pandora, Lafra was too, but I told no one I couldn't bring myself to admit such dishonor." she remembered telling Brenna about how Ireland brought back bad memories.

"He told me my mom wanted to privately speak with me in the guest room, he told me my mom wanted me to give my father my wand because he needed to check to see that it was working perfectly fine, my father always did that, but I wondered why he would do that during a ball, my father, but then again my father loved to show off my custom made wand." She played around with her wand remembering that after the events of that day she never left it out of her sight, that she continuously strapped it either on her arm or leg.

"When I walked in I realized that it wasn't the guest room, I had never been to his home so it was only natural for me to trust his guidance." she felt a tremble ripple through her body as she remembered the way his blue orbs froze over, his intentions were not in the right place.

"My mother was no where near the room, she happened to be in the gardens marveling at the beautiful flowers, I was scared at that point, to be in a room belonging to a wizard that you barely knew, he forced himself on me, I protested, tried to run, but he kept pulling me back, I lied about having tripped down the stairs when I came back with a broken leg, he did it to me." she remembered how people looked confused when she lied, she was so used to the dresses they never would imagine her falling over in one.

"He took away something I could never get back, something I wanted to save for the man I fell in love with and married, I felt so confused, so surprised, and that turned to anger frustration, in turn leading me to fear, why me, I've done no wrong, I wanted to crawl in a hole and die, I've tried to take my life, but my parents were already ashamed of me as it is, so I would bare with it." she sighed looking from one girl to the other trying to calculate there thoughts, she hoped they wouldn't be appalled by her, she felt tainted as it was, she didn't want to be abandoned.

"I can't remember the last time I slept since then, when I close my eyes his sadistic look lingered behind my eyelids, I was insomniac since then, the bruises under my eyes only got darker." she stroked the dark bags biting her lip, holding back a scream her disheveled dark hair mixed with red matted her cheecks and forehead.

"I'm sorry I never told you I feared he would come after you next Pandora, he never went after his fan club, it was always the ones that were hard to get he targeted, I feared you and Lafra would be next." she sighed her shoulders slumping as her already pale skin turned paler, her eyes still inseeing as she finished her story.

[Pandora D'Winter]

Pandora couldn't help but stare in shock for a moment, how had she not known, sure she hadn't seen Storm very often except during breaks but she still should have known that something was wrong. But no Pandora had written it off to unrequited love or just chosen not to notice. "He seems pretty set on you, and Storm you have to know that you can tell me stuff like that. Staying silent isn't going to stay his hand its only going to make everyone else unprepared for his next strike. We fight together or we all fall." Admitting weakness was never easy, especially for them but it was sometimes nessisary for survival.

[Savannah Brooks]

Vannah nodded even though she knew and hoped that she could never truly understand it. Vannah nodded. "Yeah, I'm here whether you need or want me or not." She tried to slip a small smile in there to break the ice. "Holy sh--." Vannah shut her mouth at the risk of making things worse. "Er...that's a lot to go through. I'm so sorry for you.....who is that idiot, to put it ever so nicely, anyways?"

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

Storm sighed and looked at Pandora and Vannah.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to get you involved, understand that if you were in my position, would you jeopardize the safety of the people you care about?" she then turned to Vannah, remembering that she probably wasn't sure about what was going on.

"One of my suitors." she muttered coldly, her eyes had darkened in contrast her stare hardened while her lips were set in a hard line, barely managing to let the words pass.

"Mother and father's favourite in fact, they worship the ground he walks on." a look of disgust was evident on her face.

[Pandora D'Winter]

"One year." Pandora said looking over to Storm knowing she would understand the meaning. "Our parents have the greatest tastes in guys." She added for Vannah's sake. It was almost if they looked at the list of the wizarding worlds greatest and richest losers. It made scaring them off easier, it also made it more necessary but this was one who did seem to scare as easily. Her eyes got dark at the thought, if he refused to give up things could get very ugly.

She wanted to tell Storm that she wouldn't be in that position but knew that she didn't know that. She also knew that her reasons would be different for not telling if she didn't. It would have made her look weak and Pandora almost always believed that she could take care of it by herself.

She thought for a moment, she probably would have told Storm though, and maybe Michael if she had known him the way she did now, probably not Ryan though no matter how good he was at getting her to spill her guts.
