That feeling

A light summer mornings breeze swept through the open window, as a little seven year old awoke from her bed, glancing up into the bunk above her which was empty, of course. The sun was shining brightly, not fully risen into the sky; it was early, probably somewere around five in the morning.

Yawning, Savannah pulled her black and gold trimmed throw blanket from her bed, throwing it over herself and began dragging her feet across the floor, heading out of the room. Her arms held the blanket away from her face, enough so she could see her feet; having had grown up in this house since she was born, by now she should know her way around without watching.

For being the Mae's house, it was quiet. That was because the three oldest children; Emmylyne, Nikolas, Regina and Madison, weren't home. They were at Grandma Angelina's for a week or two, Savannah didn't remember the exact time. With them gone, that left Conner, Herself, and the six month old twins at home with mum and dad. And today being a saturday, both their mother and father didn't have work.

Her and Madi's room were the first to the right of the staircase. She had left that behind, now passing the next bedroom door; her two older sisters. Continuing on her way, peeking her head out every now and then to be sure she was going the right way still, the little girl finally reached and stopped infront of a closed door. The yellow 'CAUTION' sign was ignored, as always, as she turned the knob, quietly creeping inside.

Again, since Nik wasn't home, that left only Conner in their room. He was an early bird at times, but this wasn't one of them. Short, dark curly hair even messier then usual, the nine year old rolled onto his side, yawning as he woke. He was a light sleeper, so whether or not his baby sister had woken him up wasn't much of a question. He didn't mind though. "Morning Anna Banana" Conner murmured, smiling once her head came back into view.

"You messed it up, my plan!" She sighed, head-hung in sincere disappointment. "I was going to scare you.." Her soft tone so innocent, with that silly sentance it was hard for her brother not to grin.

"Go back and we'll try again," Conner faught a laugh, rolling back over and closed his eyes while Savannah ran to the door, tripping over part of her blanket and handed hard on the floor but didn't let that faze her any.

Once more outside the closed door, Savannah beamed excitedly, one hand ready to push it open. After making sure she was hidden under the black and gold fabic she inched into the room, making a rather sad attempt at spooky noises. Conner played along, yawning a pretend yawn then 'acknowledged' the 'monster' (or whatever she was acting as); the boy gave a mock-gasp, which caused the little girl to cover her mouth, muffling a giggle.

Composing just as quickly, Savannah neared her big brother's bed, waving her arms about, breathing lowly "WOHAAAAAAA!"

"What are you suppose to be?" He asked, purely for the sake of knowing.

"Dementorrr! Silly!" Savannah responded, sticking her head out for a brief second.

Lips forming into a sort of 'O' shape, Conner mouthed an 'Ohh!' deciding how to react to her little game, "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He yelled in alarm, fake of course. Little Savina was pleased though, her giggles shown that.

"Okay! No more Saviiiees Dementor!" She said, quickly, tossing the blanket away from herself. "Help, help! the floor is gonna turn to lava; I'm notta monster now!" It was obvious to say, imagination was not something Savina Nicole Mae was missing.

Having abit of help from her brother, she stood on the bed, sighing in relief as she plopped down onto her bottom and gave her brother a tight hug. "Goood morning Con,"

After ten minutes of a silly discussion on whether or not to go downstairs then, or figure out what they would do today, their father had come to check on them after not finding little Savina in her bed, nor hearing her around the house.

With the twins still sleeping, Lorraine was able to come downstairs and eat the breakfast Scott had cooked, with what was left of her family, in peace. Conner and Savannah on their own, were very well behaved and quiet. They kept eachother entertained; or that might just be abit one-sided, but Conner didn't seem to mind his little sister's clinging.

As time passed, hour by hour, sunraise beat down on the Mae's backyard; windows and backdoor opened to keep the house cool with the help of the small occasional breezes. It wasn't a dry, humid heat. Perfect for the two kids to play outside, which is exactily what they did; kicking the soccor ball around, Conner teaching his little sister a thing or two he had been taught by Nikolas and Emmylyne.

By the time the diningroom clock chimed three, Lorraine called her children inside. Scott retreated upstairs, taking care of babies Julian and Kaitlynnh.

"Go change into your swimsuits," Their mother spoke, ushering both inside, brushing her daughter's bangs out of ocean blue orbs with a gentle finger.

Lifting her shirt, not to reveal her tummy, but the purple fabric underneath, Savannah smiled proudly up at her mum. "Already done, Mummy!" She said, her natural soft tone of innocence bringing a smile to both her mother, and brother's faces. The little girl was already one step ahead of them.

"Come along then; Conner, go change, dear."

Following her mother into the livingroom, the young girl gasped in surprise. Savina; her mother's closes friend and someone the Mae children could consider another aunt was waiting with open arms and a warm smile. Two packed backpacks left on the couch, she didn't even notice at first. "Auntieee Savinaaa!" Savannah squealed, running into her mother's friend. Clearly, very happy to see the woman. They hadn't as often as normal lately, Savina had been engaged now through a year, they were getting more serious with the planning, which between that and work left little time for her to come and visit.

As Conner strolled back in, shorts switched with swimtrunks, the boy was ready to go to swim class. "Viny is going to be taking you two, for afew days. You'll still be attending your swim sessons, and I expect you both to behave yourselves, and listen to her; Viny's incharge." Lorraine said, helping her son get his backpack on while Savina held Savannah.

"So we're going to stay with Auntie Savina?" Savannah asked, ocean blue eyes traveling onto her big brother, whom wore a wide grin.

"Wait, what about Terence?" Conner asked cooly, eyebrows raised questioningly on Savina. Terence was the woman's fiancé, and he wasn't afraid to show he didn't like the guy.

"Terence won't be around, right now, just us three and Zephy may drop by at somepoint." Savina responded to both, gaze locked with her dear older friends for a short moment.

Within the next five minutes the children said their goodbyes to their mother and father, before allowing their god-mother to get them situated in the car. Halfway to the activities center, Little Savina had fallen asleep. While Conner went through his bag, wanting to know what his mother had packed for him. An hour later they were pretty far through their swim class. During free time, their swim instructor, Neil, had commented on Savannah being a natural guppy. And the little girl being..well, Savannah, protested, saying she was not a Guppy, but however a Ducky.

Spending an extra hour tacked onto the normal three of the session, the last without everyone else except Neil, wore both children out quite alot. Also making them rather hungry, after swimming for four hours without stops.

Before dinner, Savina's thirteen year old nephew had come, like his aunt had suggested. He too had been invited to stay the night, and in the morning the twenty-eight year old would be taking them to Diagon Alley!

Bouncing about on a high-sitting bed in the guest room, Savannah finally stopped infront of Savina, whom began to brush through dark brown locks, brushing bangs from her face while she was at it. They talked about the possible things they could do tomorrow, and what stores they would need to visit first, all that sort. Saying her goodnights to both Conner and Zephyrus, Savannah was tucked into bed, and almost immediantely after her head hit the pillow she fell into a deep, peaceful, sleep.

Just like planned, they had left reasonably early in the morning, and were going to be in Diagon alley all day. Zephyrus needed to complete his unfinished school shopping anyways.

Around noon, or a little after, the four had gone to the leaky cauldron for lunch, afew hours after and a trip to Madam Malkins where they had picked out afew things, Savina had insisted that Savannah needed robes for wizarding outtings she would like to take her to, they picked out two sets, an emerald green that she adored on the young girl and then dark blue that had caught Savannahs eyes. Both very pretty, on the little girl; they went to Florean Fortescue's ice cream parlor located right across the street from the shop they just exited. Savannah had stuck to a simple vanilla, her favorite, while the others took on flavors she would consider abit scary; wizarding ice cream sounded funny to her, truth be told. Even though she was a witch, she couldn't feel less like one despite the few abnormal 'incidences' she might have caused in the past couple of years. There were only a couple of those anyways, maybe when she turned eleven things would change? Part of her hoped so. She didn't want to be different from the others, her siblings..

Somehow on the way out from a crowded Flourish & Blotts, a store the young girl was utmost thrilled to visit and look around curious ocean blue eyes gazing around at each and every aisle of books, Savannah was seperated from her mothers friend, nephew, and her own brother. This was not good. She was a small seven year old. Possibly abit smaller than her sisters were at this age, and no matter eitherway, the shoppers would still tower her still. Being bumped into and having to push through people, not being able to see where she was going was making her heartbeat race, growing more nervous and afraid she wouldn't find her group, therefore she wouldn't get home.

Shoving her way through as she somehow manged to spot a bulding wall, the seven year old escaped to it, resting against it for safety from the crowd. Ocean blue eyes were wide, she was feeling unusually claustrophobic. That probably came naturally with feeling lost, though.

Deciding to start walking again, hoping to end her endless wandering and find Con, Zeph and Vina, Vannah swiftly moved around groups of people, going through crowds and gazed around for any sign to tell her were she was. As if her wish was granted, at part where it was optional to keep going forward or turn left, Savannah spotted a sign that read 'Knockturn Alley'. Vina had mentioned that name, but She couldn't recall exactily what was said. Would that get her back to them? Was that the right way? Thats what she wanted, desperately, so she chanced it and took off running down the street; ignoring the uneasy air about the place. It was almost empty, compared to the main street. It made it slightly easier, but the awful feeling she had didn't decrease, if anything it became stronger.

Running, especially in an unknown place, lost, was not a good idea. Not for a seven year old, clumsy, girl. She smacked into someone, whom seemed to just appear out of nowhere. Savannah dismissed that, regardless of how odd it was. The man wore a cloak that kept him hidden, his face barely visible from the shadows. He extended a hand to her, offering to help, because it appeared to him that she was lost.

Vannah hesitated.

He was a stranger..by why would he hurt her? The seven year old couldn't answer her own question, she couldn't come up with a reason he would be tricking her. If he could help her find mummy's friend, she would be safe again..she would get home.

"Y-yes please, sir.." She stuttered over her words, her voice so low, so gentle, she wouldn't have been heard if others around were chatting. Smartly, she moved her hand away when he tried taking it. Pulling them into her sweater sleeves, "I'll follow" Vannah said, wondering if his gesture was because he thought she'd get lost again.

Vannah did as she said she would; he guided her down the street, not towards where she entered but in the direction she was already headed. She was silent, the whole way. Her gaze moving curiously around her afew times trying to catch the man's eyes with no luck. As the alley started getting darker from lack of sunlight hitting the area and more narrow, the atmosphere noticeably growing tense and a darker by the seconds. Something clicked inside her head like puzzle pieces being put in their place; Savannah wanted to run, run as far and fast as she could away.

The cloaked figure seemed to notice her alert expression almost right away and made to grab her. He was leading her the wrong way the whole time, he wasn't helping her get back to her family at all and he had no intentions to.

She ran, but didn't get far before her foot tripped the other, causing her to tumble onto the ground. Savannah, not wanting to worry about the pain, rather than finding real help, scrambled to get right back up. Dusting the dirt off her jeans and tossed her pigtail braids over her shoulders.

He was too close, he was advancing on her, and Savannah could only back up. If she turned around to run, he'd grab her. Her breathing was unsteady, actually rather heavy. Despite the situation she didn't let herself feel defeated. She was not going to let this mistake be her last..

Doing the only thing she could possibly think of without trying to defend herself by harming him, which even she knew was a long shot since he was a fully grown wizard while she was only a tiny child that couldn't control the magic within her, inhaling as much air as her lungs could possiblity hold in one sitting and then some, She ducked down, covering her own ears and let out an ear peircing, eardrum imploding scream that sounded like it came from a feirce, angered, banshee than it had a scared, little girl.

It didn't last forever, unfortunately and it didn't stop the man. However as soon as her voice trailed off, she screamed again, matching the same high pitched level, if not higher. Before she opened her eyes again, she screamed out of fright, as someone picked her up, she almost smacked her brother, hard. As soon as she realized they found her she stopped screaming; Savina went after the man, but he disappeared. Tears were streaming down the little girls face, the whole time they had been, she just hadn't had enough time to notice before being rescued.

After that they went right home, Conner either carried her or held tightly to her hand, wrist or arm. He didn't let her go, not once. Savina wasn't mad, she was..they all were, but not at little Savina. She had gotten lost, seperated from them, and trusted the wrong person.

Later that night, Savina left Zephyrus, Conner and Savannah to play exploding snaps, while she went to call Lorraine and tell her what happened. Vannah had troubles paying attention to the game, and wound up forfitting. Her vision blurred again, thinking back to earlier. She had been so scared, so helpless..Savannah, above all else, hated that feeling.
