Clinging On (cont. from wounds don't, open)

[Gabby Brocklehurst]

Gabby clutched at her stomach, the pain indescribable. She staggered out frmo between the trees in the forest, her gaze fixed on the castle. Her chest heaving, trying to draw in breath. Gabby's sight grew hazy and the castle became a blur. She was a few yards out of the forest now. Suddenly, Gabby stumbled and sank to the ground. A moan escaped her lips and she felt the darkness enveloping her. Before she was fully unconcious, a stray thought entered her mind. ~I hope someone find's me, or I won't be around for long.~

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

Storm was swaying she emerged after Gabby, she didn't spare Gabby a second glance before sitting on the ground she leaned against the tree. She was not tired from the spell, but from the internal struggle that was suffocating her. She had to get up, she couldn't be found like this, her parents would hate to see their daughter looking weak, then again they did abandon her. She turned her head seeing the body of gabby, wondering if she was dead, however she was too tired to see.

Storm held her wand in the air, sparks shot out from it, making the sign of her family crest, she knew Pandora would see it, she would have to.

Vannah began to walk down to the lake after dinner as usual. She was just about to reach her favorite tree when she heard a moan. Her head shot to the side where the sound was coming from and the saw two people: one was lying on the ground and one was sitting against the tree. She took a step forward and squinted at the familiar outline of the one against the tree. This is odd. She thought to herself as she looked from one figure to another.

Vannah took a few more steps towards the two people, now noticably girls, and that was when she confirmed the one against the tree as Storm. Vannah broke into a sprint and eyed the girl on the ground more carefully. The girl looked smaller, but couldn't see her face or determine who it was. She looked at Storm and was taken aback. She had never seen Storm like this. She looked at her blood-stained robes and messy appearance and sighed.

"Storm?" She asked as she took a few steps closer to her. She looked at the smaller girl as she let out another moan and then back to Storm.

It was beginning to vaguely make sense now. She concluded the the smaller girl must've been Gabby. She misinterpreted the bloody robes to be something that Gabby had done. The child was in obvious pain and Storm didn't look well enough to do much more damage. "Storm, what happened? What did she do to you?" Vannah asked looking at the blood stains. Vannah fingered her wand to make sure it was still there in case she needed it.

[Gabby Brocklehurst]

Gabby shifted, her movement increasing the searing pain in her torso. She cried out, unable to control it. Gabby curled her arms around her stomach trying to protect herself from an unseen danger. Gabby wasn't even aware someone else was there as her mind was in turmoil. Gabby coughed, every time the pain growing worse.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

Storm looked up, the look in Vannah's eyes made Storm wince, she was misinterpreting what happened, but that didn't matter at the moment. She slowly got up, still drained from her own mind tormenting her.

"She wouldn't shut up." Storm groaned a hand to her head. She could really use pepper up potion, she felt like she just had a major hangover, not something she enjoyed much.

[Savannah Brooks]

Vannah stood up and took a step back. "That's it?" She asked incredously. "Well...that certainly makes sense, I suppose. The little girl is a bit of a loud mouth." Vannah muttered to herself. "So the...the blood isn't because of her?" Vannah waved the question off after she said it, understanding that right now might not be the best time for an explanation.

"You look awful." She said pulling a little vile out of her pocket. "Here take this, it should help with the head." She said handing Storm a small grayish-looking potion. She had almost forgotten about Gabby lying in agony on the ground until she let out a moan.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

Storm looked at the potion, it looked harmless, she drank the whole thing, throwing the vile on the ground, the taste foreign and odd, but welcomed, better before she goes crazy again.

"No, it's from..." she couldn't tell Vannah about what happened at the Hospital wing, if Chase wanted to tell then it was his choice, not her's she would hold her silence, only for him. The moan caught Storms attention, it looked like the girl wasn't dead. She flipped the body over with her foot to see Gabby clearly.

"We shouldn't leave her here." she sneered, although she wouldn't like to make another visit to the hospital wing.

[Gabby Brocklehurst]

Distantly, Gabby heard voices.She felt herself being roughly tunred over and tried to see who it was but her vision was too blurry. Turning over made her groan again as the pain deep inside her continued. She tried to speak, but her mouth couldn't form words. Gabby's chest was heaving as she tried to breathe.

[Savannah Brooks]

Vannah eyed Storm curiously figuring there was something she wasn't telling her. Vannah sighed again and looked like the almost lifeless body. It suddenly sounded like the girl was hyperventilating, or having trouble breathing. "Right." She said. "I suppose I could do that. You should probably get headed up tp the castle and clean up or something. I can take care of her." She said drawing her wand out slowly.

[Gabby Brocklehurst]

Through the darkness that enveloped her mind, Gabby thought she recognised the voices, but she couldn't figure out who it was. She eased her body round a little and her breathing calmed. Tears from the sheer pain of her situation ran down her cheeks, and Gabby could do nothing to stop them.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

She felt relieved, she wouldn't have to face Chase again, she looked over at Gabby once more before loking away again. Looking at the body brought on more waves of hate.

"I used a dark curse on her, the nurse should recognize the internal symptoms, the girl has a little time left to live, I recommend you get her there quickly or Ryan will be saying goodbye to his precious girlfriend." she said in a dark tone.

[Savannah Brooks]

Vannah nodded. "What a pity that would be." She said surpressing the sarcasm in her voice. Vannah knew that she wouldn't have much time when they got to the Hospital Wing to alter much of Gabby's memory, so she decided to quickly get that out of the way. Vannah crouched down to Gabby's level and flicked her wand while silently muttering the charm that would make Gabby's memory fuzzy and unaware of what really happened.

"Okay, up you go." She said lifting the body with her wand. "See you later." She said to Storm as she began to take the body to the Hospital Wing.

(((ill make a new thread asap but it might not be until later))

[Pandora D'Winter]

Pandora heard the commotion and ran out to the lake. There she saw the aftermath of what looked like a pretty nice fight. That she got from the fact that Gabby was passed out on the ground. "How could you have a fight without me." The next thing she thought of wasn't quite of the same tone because she saw Vannah taking the Gabby's limp body somewhere. "She walked over to Storm and sat down "Bloody hell, what happened?"

[Gabby Brocklehurst]

Gabby lost conciousness again and was totally unaware that it was an enemy who was saving her life.

[Lucretia 'Storm' Seyrrou]

The corner of Storms lips twitched in a grin. She could put off a shower just to stay out and talk.

"Sorry Pan, you were just to late." she teased watching and Vannah left with the girls body. Her head was getting better, but the odd voices were still their, distant, but not gone.

"Let's just hope this doesn't end up in the gossip column." she teased. Looking at Pandora remembering what Chase said. She frowned and shook her head clearing that thought.

"So what took you so long to get down here?" she asked curiously.
