Wincing, she felt pain curse through her as she witnessed Snape being thrown against a wall, metal irons being casted around his hands. Sharply, she awoke and panted heavily, sweating dripping from her face. For a moment, she looked around, thinking she were in the cell with him, but seeing the darkened room and the pitch black night sky through the window, she sighed and bit her lip in worry. |
Archie grabbed Marcella by the shoulders and looked in to her eyes "hey ,hey it's ok "Archie said comfortingly |
She squinted in the dark, her heart had mislead her. On first hearing, she had thought it were Snape, but then came to realise it were only Archie. Shuddering, her shoulders shook as she cried long and hard. |
"come on, come on"Archie said through breathas he rubbed marcella's shoulder so as to comfort her. |
She knew what Archie were trying to do, but his attempts of comfort weren't doing a thing. She feigned a smile and nodded her head, wiping away her tears reluctantly as she thanked him and gave him a short hug. |
Archie smiled slightly "hey i know i'll get that potion for a dreamless sleep for you"Archie said as he got up slowly. |
"Would you?" she asked, knowing Archie would do more or less anything for her. Feeling a little guilty, she tried to come across as grateful and settled her head back down onto the arm of the sofa and trying to close her eyes peacefully. But everytime she did, her lids would become bursting with images of him, sat lonely, cold and bleeding. |
Archie sighed in pity as he walked out of the room ,he turned to the left and walked down some steps into a small stone room with walls lined with potion vials .He picked up a purple one and walked back to marcella he poured small dose into marcella's mouth "there "He said. |
Snape sat in a corner of his cell, collecting himself. He'd been treated badly, yes, but he'd experienced worse in his life. As the guards left and he was completely alone, he felt a brush on his mind. It was Marcella and she was pained with grief. He tried to send her calming thoughts. "I'm fine," he whispered to the dark. |
Marce caught Archie's hand as he were about to tip the vial into her mouth and shook her head. Raising a hand to it, she uttered, "Snape..he's talking." Sje closed her eyes and forgot all sense and reason. She cried out to him mentally, telling him she had felt his pain, seen what they had done to him, witnessed him in his solitary cell. |
"Shhhh..." he thought. Snape didn't want her to spend her time grieving over him. He wasn't in very much pain at all and it was only natural that he be treated this way for the charge that had been brought upon someone who had once stood accused of other, more hideous, crimes. He whispered again to the empty cell, "Rest." |
Resigning to his words, she thought one last thing. "You wotn be alone for long. No matter what it takes, I am going to see you again." With that, she took the vial from Archie and swallowed the liquid in one go, her headed dropping dramatically to the pillow, almost as if she were dead. |
Snape closed his eyes and leaned his head upon the cold stone wall. Exhausted from the day's ordeal, he feel into a deep sleep. |
Part way through the night, she awoke rather abruptly. Staring out of the window, she could see the sun creeping up on the horizon. Looking to her left she saw Archie, his head drooped to one side, sleeping. Getting up, she rubbed her eyes and stood by the window. |
Kristi hadn't been able to fall asleep so she busied herself in the kitchen. She didn't think anyone would be up for a large breakfast, but she needed to do something to keep herself busy. With the breakfast finished, she wandered into the living room to see if Archie and Marcella had awoken, yet. Seeing Marcella standing by the window, Kristi walked over to her, "I've made breakfast, if you want it." |
"I'm not hungry much." she said, clinging to the drapes, as if in some mis-guided hope that snape would somehow escape from Azkaban and may walk up the street any minute. She felt somewhat guilty for not appreciating Kristi's attempts to help but at the same time she could not eat when her body was so consumed with worry. Changing the subject, she asked, "Has Dumbledore returned yet? I wish to speak with him." |
"Yeah, he got back about an hour ago. He went up to talk with, Darrin. He hasn't been down since," Kristi said, contemtuously as she plopped down into a chair and began playing with the ends of her hair. She wondered what Snape was doing now. Being locked up was going to drive him to insanity. |
"How convenient for him." she added, angered that he had gotten attention before she. He was supposed to be her God-Father, not his. Exasperated, she said, before leaving the room. "I'm going to go speak with him now, it wont wait and if Darrin's there, well, all the better as far as I'm cocnerned." ith that, she exited the room quietly, running over, in her mind, what she were to say to him. |
Kristi turned her head and watched Marcella leave. She sighed. Being locked up in here was going to drive her to insanity. Like father, like daughter, she supposed. |
He watched her as she stormed from the room, her facing reflecting anger like he'd never seen before. Creeping after her, he took her by the arm and spun her around so she faced him. "What's wrong, didn't like hearing what your precious Dumbledore had to say, did you?" he snarled, his grip becoming painfully hard on her wrist. Struggling beneanth his hold, she hissed straight back at him, "He may not see through you and your hidden agendas, but I do! Now, for the last time, take your filthy hands from me!" she bellowed as she wriggled helplessly beneath him. Darrin sneered and held her harder, taking her by the arm and throwing her into a room, which he slammed the door hard upon and locked it magically. |
Kristi had been sitting in the chair, staring out the window, when she heard a door slam upstairs. She got to her feet and climbed the stairs. Seeing the shut door, she knocked upon it, "Marcella? Is that you? You okay?" |
Archie woke abruptly ,noticed Marcella gone and hearing the slam from upstairs he flew out of the chair and raced up stairs he came to a door where Kristi was standing next to "Marcella? "Archie called curiously "Darrin"he said Darrin's name dangerously. |
Darrin heard her friends outside and paniced slightly. Taking her up from the bed on which she had sat, he held her arms behind her back and snarled in a whisper, "You dare say anything about me and I'll hurt you." Marce knew this were not a shallow threat, she could clearly feel his wand jabbed in her back. Shaking his hand from her mouth, she said, calmly, "I'm fine. I just decided to come up here and rest." |
"Are you sure?" Kristi asked suspiciously, her ear pressed against the door and glancing at Archie with raised eyebrows. She had a funny feeling about this... |
"I'm sure." she breathed easy as he let go of her, apparently trusting her a little further. "I will be down in about an hour, you two have fun, alright?" she called trying not to come across pushy. |
