Kristi sat silently in the compartment with Marcella. She was amazed that they hadn't been accosted by any other students, yet. They were usually so loud and nosey. |
The train rattled along on the rails and as it did so, Marce heard a knock on the door of the compartment. Whoever it was opened it and came inside. "Yo Kristi. Archie wants you." said Darrin, casually throwing an apple up and down in his hand as he said this. "Something about Snape or whatever." he said. |
Kristi sneered at Darrin and then looked back at Marcella. "Are you going to be okay?" she asked. With a nod from Marcella, Kristi pushed past Darrin to get out of the compartment. She found Archie staring out the window a few doors down. She plopped down in the seat across from him, "What's up?" |
"what do you mean?"Archie asked . |
Kristi looked at Archie, questioningly. "What do you mean, 'what do you mean?' I thought you wanted to talk to me about Snape," she said. |
"A little birdie has been telling me that you went to go see darling Severus yesterday." he sneered, sitting next to her. Marce moved away from him slightly as he sat a little too close for comfort. "I went to see him, so what." she said, staring him defiantly in the eyes, holding her head high. "I needed to see what it was like for him in there and now I know, I know he cant stay there much longer." "Scum like him should be locked up and have the key thrown away," retorted Darrin, taking a chunk out of his apple. "Why do you defend the filth that made you dirty?" he snarled, rolling his apple along the table, leaning over her. "Because, I love him!" she choked back, cold tears clinging to her eyes. She lifted his hand from her thigh and threw him off, anger weling in her eyes. "And this..." said Darrin, flicking a strand of hair from her face and delicating enveloping her neck with his hand, "Is because I love you." And he proceeded to force his lips onto hers, holding a firm hand against her side, meaning every movement in his kiss. |
*ANdriel was searching for her friends and couldn't find them, "Where are they all?" sha wondered. After a while she gave up and found an empty compartment. She walked in and sat down.* |
Hearing a compartment door slide shut, next door to theirs, Darrin sprang from her in naieve panic. Composing himself, running a hand through his hair, he gave her short glance and read the dishevelled, confused look upon her face. "I meant it, you know. I may not be exactly straight about where my loyalties stand, but I do love you." "That's all fine and well, but I dont care Darrin. I dont love you, not since you became this!" she shot back, shoving his hand from where it had been locked over her own. "This!" spoke Darrin, slamming his fist upon the table and then opening his palm in frustration. "This! I am what I have become because of you! You broke me Marce. I loved you, I rescued you at the Durmstrang Massacre and still, when you awoke, you ran into his arms and not mine!" |
*ANdriel could hear a boy talking a bit loud and then suddenly Marce. "Who is the boy that love MArcella and why is he shouting?" She stood up and walked to the compartment next to hers. She opened the door and saw Darrin, "Woah! I didn't know that Darrin was like that...", she thought.* Eh...so Darrin love you Marcella? |
Darrin's fist flinched, as if it were going to hit the girl but he was refrained when he caught sight of Marce firmly shoving her hand over his. Clenching his teeth, he forced a polite smile onto his face and said, "Maybe I do, maybe I dont. Now would you mind leaving, I'd like to talk to her alone." |
"So you see..." finished Darrin, some minutes later, "you really dont have a choice. It's your father's wish, my dear," he sneered, somehow giving her the impression he were receiving the utmost pleasure in doing this. "But, I can make things easier on you, you can make it easier on yourself. If you just love me. Then I swear, on pain of death, to never lay a harmful hand on your body again. It pains me to have to hit you Marce." Swinging her balled fist, that had been quivering for the past ten minutes, she smacked him full force in the face, angry tears threatening to spit from her face. "I wouldn't love you if you were the last living male creature on the planet!" she spat ferociously, her arm falling to her side. "How can I love you when you treat me like dirt? You're despicable!" she choked out, her voice breaking. before he had chance to grab her, she left the compartment and sat in the toilets, washing her face. |
*Andriel went back to her empty compartment and sat down thinking very hard after what she just heard and Darrin's act against her. She thought he was a nice guy, but she was wrong* |
Sitting behind one of the many sinks, she ran her hands under the ice cold water, numb to the coldness, the temperature not affecting her bones, muscles, nerves or skin. Finally wretching them from the liquid, she doscovered just how cold they were as she scrubbed her face free of the red anger, cooling her cheeks with the icy substance. |
"well no I didn't ask "Archie replied to Kristi |
*Andriel had a feeling of that something was wrong, she walked to the toilet and found Marcella* What's wrong? |
"Nothing..." she replied, taking a piece of tissue and dabbing the water from her face. "Darrin just wound me up a bit and I needed to come in here, somewhere alone where I could vent off my anger without hurting any of my friends." |
"Oh," Kristi said, a little flustered. "Well, then let me ask you something. Why are you helping Snape? I mean, really, why are you helping him? You don't like him, that much you've made more than clear in the past. Is it Marcella? Do you love her?" |
*Andriel's eyes became ocean blue and she looked at Marcella* You can tell me everything...I am your friend and I will always cher you up...I thought that Darrin was a nice guy, but I think I was wrong |
"He is nice." she shot back, not quite sure why she were defending him, but knowing that the spell enforced upon her meant no-one could find out what he had done. No-one. |
Archie raised his eyebrows at the last question at how Kristi just came out with it "well as for the research question it is for a number of reasons ,i have realised that snape has done nothing wrong he only loved marcella "Archie said "and-that-is-what-I-do "Archie said very slowly as this registered with him . "well I suppose I still do"Archie said . |
*She looked at her in disbelief and knew that she was lying, afterall she was a vampire and could read peoples thoughts and feelings and such.* Why are you lying MArcella? I thought we were best friends... |
"I'm not lying." she gasped through her teeth. "I cant say, cant you see." she stated, her patience wavering. Getting up from her seat, she excused herself and wandered down the hallway. Running a hand along the wall, she stopped and stood quietly as she heard the voices of Archie and Kristi. Catching Kristi's last question, Marce felt the blood pumping through her hands ominously, for some bewildering reason her heart began to beat faster. As she heard his feelings coming out, she cringed and cursed herself mentally for landing herself in this rut again. Knocking on the door, she awaited an answer. |
Kristi just looked at Archie as he thought out loud. Then, she nodded and got up, "I'm going to go check on Marcella." But, before she could move to leave, there was a knock on the door. She opened it to see Marcella standing there and her eyes widened. Had Marcella been listening to their conversation? |
Archie looked out the window immediatly at this declaration and fell silent . |
"Hey Kristi." she said, more sounding like a question than a greeting. Edging her way in, her eyes diverted from Archie, she sat opposite him, looking toward Kristi, wondering where she were going. |
