A Series of Unfortunate Events

[Adara Snow]

Adara was retreating into the safety of her mind, and Emilian's spell blasted through what was left of her quickly fading shield without so much as slowing. But she paid little attention, only wincing slightly at the harsh sound of the spell he'd used and knowing that things had only begun.

[Chase Firebrand]

A wild sound of pain tore from Chase's throat as his right shoulder exploded, momentarily blinding him to everything else. He released Dru and turned to Emilian again, raising his wand in his left hand. He didn't take the time to correct his aim; he likely had little time before another spell was thrown at him, and shock and fury demanded he act now. "Confringo!"

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru gasped as she was sprayed with blood and fell from Chase. It took her a second to catch her balance and then she stood in shock, staring at Chase. She shouldn't have distracted him, she shouldn't have stopped him, she should have let him go through with it. Thoughts ran rampant through her mind and she drew her wand shakily.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian grinned bitterly in satisfaction when he heard Chase yell, but he victory was short-lived when his left hand exploded in pain, bringing a yelling scream from his lips. A quick glance revealed fingers hanging on by threads and white bone showing through. He tucked his hand to his stomach and focused his wand through the haze of pain. Diffindo

[Adara Snow]

Adara had shut down, her mind protecting its fragile state by refusing to take anything in. Blood and flesh clung to her clothes, but she paid no attention, focusing far away into the darkest recesses of near-unconsciousness. It was a defensive mechanism she'd learned as a child, and it had yet to fail her.

[Chase Firebrand]

Thought was hazy, and the pain from Chase's shoulder so great that he hardly noticed the gash that tore across his abdomen from right shoulder to left hip. He grimaced, squinting against the sunlight, but kept his wand up, determined to destroy, or to take Emilian down with him. He was losing blood quickly, and dizziness began to set in. He had to make each spell count. "Sectumsempra!"

[Druscilla Grace]

"Chase!" Dru gasped when she saw the rip in his shirt and skin. She raised her wand, unsure, and then pointed it towards Emilian. "Stupefy!" It was a simple spell, but she wasn't actually in the fight, and she hoped that it would take him by surprise and that it could end the fight. Her main thought was to stop before Chase was hurt any more than he already was.

[Emilian Sota]

Gashes opened up, one across his face, the other across his torso, nearly mirroring the one he had inflicted on Chase. Emilian gasped and collapsed onto his knee, his damaged arm tight to his stomach. A haze was coming over his eyes and his breaths were hard coming. He struggled to think of a spell as a strong breeze flew over his head, Dru's attempt just missing him. "Reducto!" His eyelids fell closed as soon as the spell was out from the tip of his wand and his head and arm fell, even as he struggled to keep them up. It faintly registered that he was loosing too much blood.

[Adara Snow]

Adara's wand fell from lax fingers into the blood-stained sand at her feet. In her mind, there was nothing but silence, emotion and reaction nonexistent.

[Chase Firebrand]

Chase's left leg gave out as muscle and tendon severed. He could no longer see through the blur of pain-induced sweat and tears in his eyes, but blindly cast one last spell as the world tipped beneath him. "Relashio." He didn't have the strength for anything more powerful. Chase's wounds were large and deep, sapping his strength, until everything went black and he slumped to the grass.

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru fell to her knees beside of Chase, murmuring "no" over and over as she wracked her brain for any spell that could help him enough for her to be able to get him to the hospital wing. Tears ran down her face as she grasped her wand weakly, "Episkey," she whispered, her voice threatening to break. But the spell didn't help much with the severity of his wounds, barely even slowing the blood. She looked up, "Adara!" she called, her voice breaking. She tried again, "Adara!" she called louder, both Chase and Emilian needed to be in the hospital wing, and Dru couldn't do it by herself.

[Emilian Sota]

Emilian couldn't distinguish the feel of Chase's spell pushing him onto his back from the pain of his other injuries. As the world turned black, he saw Adara's wand fall to the ground. If he had been more conscious, if he had been able to think through the blanket of blissfull unawareness, Emilian would have wanted to hold her, to explain and to say that everything would be fine. But as it was, his eyes closed and he relaxed against the sand.

[Adara Snow]

Adara heard Dru's voice as if from a tunnel, faraway and barely distinguishable. Even so, she recognized the tone, the near panic, and she struggled toward the surface of her mind. The first thing she became aware of was the coppery smell of blood, and Adara's eyes widened as consciousness crashed like a wave. "Emilian!" Adara fell to her knees beside him, scooping up her wand out of the sand, her gaze darting over him before she began to attempt a healing spell, her wand waving in trembling arcs as she crooned the spell beneath her breath.

[Druscilla Grace]

Dru looked back down at Chase before rocking back on her heels and using her wand to levitate him, "Adara, the hospital wing!" she called, looking down to where Adara was kneeling beside of Emilian's still form. She looked at Chase again and brushed the hair from his forehead, trying to fight back the panic that had gripped her throughout the fight. She stood and gestured slightly with her wand, testing out how he would move.

[Adara Snow]

Adara paused just one moment, bending to press a soft kiss to the corner of Emilian's lips. Then she stood, a flick of her wand gathering Emilian's wand and her journal. "I'm coming," she said, though the words likely went unheard. "Mobilicorpus." Emilian levitated, and Adara sent him just ahead of her as she made her way toward the school.
