tr-e-mbling (Levi)

[broadway]

Raychel didn't need to read Levi's mind to know what he assumed. She shook her head, her voice rasping. Her mouth opened an closed slowly, a fish looking for water. "Not splinched.... parents." was all that came out. This had to have something to do with her parents deaths. How she knew, was a mystery. Even to her.

"Okay, then." said Levi, focusing more so on getting the both of them up four flights of stairs safely than on what was being said. He still wasn't sure what was wrong, but as far as he could tell this wasn't normal in any sense of the word. "Don't talk, okay?" Levi said as he reached the first floor landing. "You ought to save your energy." Levi then resumed climbing the stairs. Since everyone was in their classes, the halls were mercifully empty.

((OOC: Would you mind if I brought Isabelle into this? She's been kind of dormant lately and I would like to have some fun with her.))

((OOC: Sounds good to me. What do you have in mind?))

Raychel nodded silently, clinging to him tightly. Her eyelids began to droop, but she was determined not to pass out. She was going to remain strong. Her only fear was that she would fall asleep, and never arise again. Never see Levi again, or Gabby, or Angel. Something in that sense kept her from passing out. The hallways were peacefully empty, but all Raychel could think about was death, and her ever-growing fear.

[imadecoy]

Levi kicked open the door to the hospital wing, only to find it empty. He was now faced with a dilemma. A professor was required to stop by every hour to see if anyone was there, but Levi had no idea how soon the next round would be. Dare he wait for a teacher, or leave Raychel by herself while he went for help? "I'll be right back," said Levi as he laid Raychel on a bed. "I'm going for help." He then turned and bolted from the room, the less time it took him to find someone, the better.

Raychel watched him go fearfully, but smiled weakly. As soon as he left, the pain contracted in her stomach once more. She screamed, unable to stop herself. It was contracting more and more, her breath catching in her throat with each twist. Her eyelids grew heavy, but she fought to stay awake. Raychel soon lost the battle however and she was unconscious within a matter of minutes. In her mind, she was fully conscious, fully active. Her mind raced along with her pulse, trying to find a solution. Something was terribly wrong, but she didn't know what. That made her terrified.

[imadecoy]

Levi sprinted through the corridors, looking for the first professor he could find. His mind was overwhelmed with fear and worry, logical thinking was hardly something he was capable of just then. All of a sudden, he met a rude stop as he ran into someone. Because of the sheer speed he was going at, Levi fell to the stone floor, smacking his head on the way down. He blinked forcefully and few times and rubbed the spot.

Carrietta had emitted a loud, rather high-pitched scream as a student ran bluntly into her, knocking her to the floor. But she was able to land gracefully. "Mister Weasley!" Carrietta began to scold, but then saw the look on his face, pure worry. "What is it? What is wrong?" She prided herself on reading emotions with relatively good accuracy.

[imadecoy]

"Professor- North!" Levi said, hardly realizing that he was out of breath from sprinting and then trying to talk. He took in a few deep breaths, but was still struggling with words. "Raychel- something wrong- dunno- have to- help!" Levi was finally able to sputter out as she got to his feet, knees trembling. He helped Professor North to her feet, and then they bolted to the hospital wing. Levi began to pace nervously as Professor North tried to make sense of the situation.

Raychel slipped in and out of consciousness periodically. Professor North was busily making haste of the situation. Levi was pacing. Raychel slipped back under again. Frustrated with her inability to be strong, she found herself gripping the sheets of the bed tightly. Another wave of pain washed over her, throwing her back into an unconscious state.

[omghprp]

Carrietta emitted a noise of frustration, none of the spells she was performing absolutely flawlessly were doing anything. "I know that I haven't been trained in healing, but I just don't know what else I can do!" Carrietta said, worry now showing through her voice, in spite of how hard she tried to keep it out. "If her condition does not improve within fifteen minutes I will take her to St. Mungo's."

[gaspevil]

Isabelle sat in the corner of the room, staring unblinkingly at Raychel. She kept herself invisible, and unless she messed up, no one would be able to see her. In her mind, she was running a curse through her mind to render any enchantments used on the girl useless. Isabelle, trained as a healer, knew whatever was ailing the girl would kill her soon if treatments couldn't get to her.

[imadecoy]

"Fifteen minutes?" Levi said, eyes wide. This seemed serious, and with things like these, sometimes only seconds could be the difference between life and death. He didn't want to risk that with Raychel. He restlessly sat on the bed beside his girlfriend's and took her hand in both of his. Levi continually said her name under his breath, as if fooling himself that it would bring her back to him.

[broadway]

Raychel was awake once more. She had been awake for Professor North's declaration. She felt Levi's hand grasp her own, and she squeezed it lightly. A sudden presence wafted into her brain. It was the strangest sensation. It felt as if someone was entering her mind. 'Who are you? What do you want? Why me?!' she projected boldly.

[gaspevil]

Isabelle scarcely heard the girl's projection, being so focused in her curse, she didn't move an inch. She intensified her spell, if it went correctly, Raychel's condition would worsen tenfold. Her currently invisible eyes were fixed unblinkingly on her form. The death of a student by apparently natural causes would rock the balance of Hogwarts, making her plot to take over the school possible. And with Cici gone for another week... Hogwarts would be a good point to start with her eventual domination.

The pain intensified greatly. Raychel was fully concsious now, but all she wanted was sweet slumber. Painless slumber. Raychel screamed loudly, her freehand clawing at the sheets. She looked up at Levi. "Either... Take me St. Mungo's, or find whoever is doing this!!!" She shrieked angrily. "They are here, in this room, I know it! I can feel them!" She shrieked once more. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, each painful twist of her stomach bringing on a new wave. 'Stop please, I'll do whatever you want! Don't hurt Levi, whatever you do. Spare me, and I will be forever in your debt.' Raychel projected loudly to the stranger. If she were to die, Levi's heart would be shattered. She couldn't let that happen. The only thing she could do would be to sell her own life away. Anything for Levi's safety.
