Brianna smiled joyfully, it seemed as though everyone was out....then her smile dimmed, Where was Shai!? She couldn't think about that now, she had to check on the ones she could see. Turning off the jet of hot air, she turned to Jayden. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry I couldn't get you!" She turned to Tonya and patted her arm. "Shai is the only one of my people left in there, Corranda is somewhere in that mess too." She walked quickly over to Jeremy and conjured blankets for everyone that had been in the snow. She wrapped one around his shoulders and leaned over him, "Thank you so much...Without your help we'd all have died in there." She had no other way to express her feelings of gratitude, so she leaned over and hugged him. Then pulled back, slightly embarrassed about her display of emotion. She pulled her red hair back from her face and turned to the other's in the hall. "We have to get Shai..."

Shai was groggy and her head was pounding tremendously. Where am I? she thought. It seemed as though she was up to her nose in white stuff...snow. Slowly she started trying to push her way out, but it was to no avail. She rolled her eyes over and saw fingertips, her fingertips. If I could just..., she thought. Her head was pounding, her vision was blurring, she was feeling weak.

Trying to remember what happened, she could only see fuzzy parts. So much for being a gifted seer, she thought. She concentrated, everyone was sick...from a drink...Corranda...disappearing...getting hit on the head with a table...that was it! She was hit in the head with a falling desk because of the snow. Shai must've passed out from the blow.

Shai somehow worked her fingers free and dug a deep well around her face. She was having trouble finding her voice, but when she did, she screamed, "HELP!!! HELP!!! I'M STILL IN HERE!!! HELP!!!"

She was starting to feel desperate, like she couldn't breathe, then she started to fade away again...

Brianna gasped as she heard Madeline's voice and turned to explain the events when she heard Shai. "Shai! Hold on, we're coming!" She conjured a jet of hot air out of her wand again and tried to make her way back into the office. She was weighed down by the blankets she still had in her hand. Turning, she quickly draped one over Madeline and put the rest by the door, then turned back into the office. Shai's desk hadn't been that far from the door, so Brianna thought she could make it.

It took a few minutes, but she finally found the air pocket that held Shai. "Shai! I'm here!" She turned and directed the jet towards Shai's body, quickly melting the snow around her. "Are you awake?" She asked, knowing she'd never be able to carry her out.

Shai was slowing beginning to stir. She felt something warm and it was stimulating her. She opened her eyes, vision blurry, and saw Brianna. She tried to muster the strength to say something but couldn't. Listless, it was all she could do to lift herself up.

"Mmmmm, I'm up," she managed to mutter, "Just help me, I cant...my legs...I can't feel them..." she trailed off.

She reached out for Brianna's arm, for her legs were far too wobbly for her to carry herself.

Believe me or not, I actually tried to quote everything. And it got messed up, all of it. >_> Too many posts. -pokesy'all- =p
Gah, no! It was all going wrong, wrong, wrong, everything was going just the way it shouldn't, absolutely against her. Corranda was infuriated. And mad. VERY mad.

At first, things happened too fast for her to do anything. But then, just as Jeremy and Brianna returned for Shai, she had her chance. "I'LL TEACH YOU NOSY IDIOTS A LESSON," she shouted, clearly frustrated, forgetting all magic and, instead, grabbing the back of Jeremy's robes. "You foolish man," she spat through gritted teeth, shaking poor Jeremy so hard, she was sure his very brains were shaken. Then, abruptly leaving him and vanishing in the snow, she raised her wand and waved it all over the snow. The mounds of white began to melt, flooding the place.

"Idiots, trying to ruin my plans," Corranda muttered, still very, very angry that the balance had nearly tipped in their favour. She spotted Royda, and cackled loudly.

"I hope you're having fun, Dames," she barked, regaining some of her old eagerness to cause as much wreck in the place as possible. "Ha! Bri and Levy-ness and you fatso -" this remark was for poor Jeremy - "you're all going to pay. Drown, drown, drowwwwwwwwwwwwwn now." The water was up to her own knees, now, but Corranda clearly did not care. "REPEEEEEEEENNNNNNNT, YOU THIN, SICK, PRETTY MINISTRY PEEEEEEEOOOOOPPPPPLLLLLE."

Clearly, Corranda's thirst for mayhem was not yet quenched.

Brianna nodded and helped Shai move enough so that Jeremy could pull her from the room. They were all completely exhausted. Then Corranda grabbed Jeremy and the snow was melting. This was their chance! As the invisible Corranda turned him loose, Brianna grabbed Shai and helped push her to the door. The snow was gone, now it was water, icy cold water, but still-it was easier to walk through than snow. She turned, looking for a disturbance in the water and found it. A list of possible spells were running through her head, but she couldn't quite focus enough to pick one that would stop this madwoman.

Tonya Anne stood at the door waiting for people the last people to get out of the office as the snow melted and the room began to flood. She spotted the man nemed Jeremy and hollered, "Jeremy! I"m coming in to help." as she dove into the freezing water. She swam toward him and the girl and took the girl. "You get out. I'll take her you've been dealing with this longer than I have if you don't get out you'll end up with hypothermia." she said as she pulled the girl toward the door.

Piper took Jermey's hand as he helped her go inside the office. As soon as she was inside, Piper looked around her...
"Corranda we can do this in the nice way and we can do it in the mean way... And believe me a hundred and nine year old witch won't like the mean way... And Corranda maybe they haven't told you about me... But I'm an exceptional charm creator and can surely cast a million charm with ease... So you choose... Do you want me to show you what Piper Underwood can do?" Piper asked as she circle around herself... "Do you?" she repeated.

Brianna had made her way back to the door, stumbling through the water. She wasn't feeling very well all of a sudden. The tiredness was overwhelming her and she couldn't focus. She looked over at Madeline and tried to say something, but nothing came out when she opened her mouth. She felt slightly faint and was having problems thinking. Suddenly, the lights seemed to dim around her and she collapsed in a heap next to the wall.

Shai was suddenly awakened by the cold water around her. It was awakening, yet startling. After a few moments of well deserved grogginess she found herself laying over Brianna and Madeline. "Owwww", she groaned, "What's going on?"

She tried to sit up but it was to no avail, her head was pounding, and she was cold and shivering. After a few moments of deep concentration, she found herself reliving the past few moments, in a vision. Then, she snapped out of it, startled, and realized: a) her boss was passed out and b) the woman responsible for it was still on the loose, inside the office somewhere.

Alright, Shai, you gotta snap out of this girl! she thought panicking. She did the first thing that came to mind...lit a blue fire out of her wand next to Brianna in hopes to wake her up.

"Please let this work...please!" She howled to no one in particular.

Then her thoughts turned to the office, and she saw Piper and and ministry security man in the office rooting around for Corranda. Just then she saw a ball of flames erupt from out of nowhere heading straight for Piper! "Piper! Watch out!", she shouted, but it was too late, her robes were already on fire. "Aguamenti!" shouted Shai, and a stream of water erupted from her wand as she rushed into the office to try and save Piper.

Then in anger she shouted, "Show yourself you coward...also know as Corranda Melvicks. Can't win in a fair fight can you?" She felt anger taking over, not good for a seer. Calm down, she instructed herself...it would not be good to go into prophecy mode here...
