Face Your Fears (Angel/Gabriella)

[gaspevil]

"Not so fast," Isabelle snapped, snatching Emily back and teleporting on top of the roof of a nearby building. With a quick spell, a fair-sized gash appeared across Emily's stomach, it spurted blood, Isabelle's eyes faded to black, her blood was especially appealing. "I'll stop it, if you go and find her." said Isabelle. If she did not heal the wound, the girl could bleed to death in less than ten minutes.

Unfortunately for Isabelle, Gabriella was smart enough to grab her cloak before the other vampire had teleported away. So now who was the dumb one? That had been the expected move. Gabriella wrenched the knife out of Isabelle's hand and looked at her square in the face. Her free hand was still clutching the vampire's cloak.

Transferring Emily to a position on her back, Isabelle jumped to the next roof easily, turning the both of them invisible. She knew that Gabriella would still be able to smell them, but it would hinder her spell casting. The girl was not heavy, it was that there was so much difference in their heights that made it hard for Isabelle to carry her. She jumped the next seven roofs, and then teleported back to where she started, visible once more. This time, she used her wand to make a cut across Emily's abdomen. "Ten minutes, Weasley!" Isabelle yelled, teleporting away once more.

The first thing that Emily noticed was that she was in a whirlwind of colour, second, she was unable to breathe, and then third, she was bleeding profusely from a gash across her stomach. Emily took in a sharp breath, the colours had stopped, it was dark. She was in so much pain... Her eyes watered, what was happening to her?

[igloogirl]

As Isabelle came back, Gabriella's hand reached for a piece of her cloak, knowing she would be teleporting soon. Instead she caught a strand of Emily's hair, which she clung to as all three of them were whisked away. Isabelle was really losing her touch. Coming back to the same roof Gabriella was standing on? Really? Expelliarmus, Gabriella thought fast, a beam of light shooting for Isabelle.

((OOC: Could Gabby not tag along this time? I have a plot idea in mind for this thread...))

The spell hit Isabelle square in the stomach, she clung tightly to Emily as she flew backward. They were on collision course with a nearby tree... Isabelle and Emily disappeared in mid-air, a fraction of a second before they would have crashed. Isabelle opened her eyes, they were back in the lair. She could wait.

Gabriella swore under her breath as Isabelle got away at last. Her fingers had slipped by the fabric and it seemed the other vampire had won at last. Gabriella felt like crying, but she still had a chance. She just had to find Angel. Gabriella Apparated into Diagon Alley and opened the door to Ollivander's.

Angel had been whittling a wand in the back room, a fine one, dragon heart string core, juniper. She loved the smell of the wand-making room, all the different wood aromas. She looked up and stopped her work when the door opened. Angel got up with a little bit of difficultly and walked to the front, only to see Gabriella, but her heart sank, just by her expression. "What is it?" Angel asked, striding to her elder cousin. "What happened?"

[igloogirl]

Angel had always had that ability to tell when something was wrong with Gabriella. She took a deep breath. "Isabelle came, she took Emily and teleported away," Gabriella explained. "She wants you, obviously. But she keeps cutting Emily's stomach open." They needed a plan, and fast. Hopefully Angel would think of something.

[calcetines]

Angel thought quickly for a moment, then pulled out her time-turner from beneath her robes. "Quickly, change your appearance so you won't recognize yourself," said Angel. They were going to do a little time adventure. Just to be safe, she put a few charms on herself. She now had black hair and pale blue eyes. She put the chain of the time-turner around Gabriella's neck too. She noted the time. "Remember, we have to be back here exactly at three fifteen." said Angel, then turned the turner once to go back one hour.

[igloogirl]

Ah, a time-turner. Gabriella had supposed Angel had one for all the classes she had been taking, but she had never been one hundred percent sure. Now she was. "Alright," Gabriella replied, turning her hair blonde and her eyes bright green before Angel turned the turner. Then they were no longer there.

[calcetines]

They were now in Ollivander's one hour before Gabriella had came in with the news about Emily. "Three fifteen," Angel repeated. She thought a moment, the Healer had told her that apparation should only be used in emergencies given her condition. "I'm not supposed to apparate," said Angel. "I'll meet you behind the Three Broomsticks."

[igloogirl]

"Um, right," Gabriella replied. Great, now she was on her own again. Hopefully two of her would be enough to drive Isabelle away. With a sound like a whip, she apparated into an alley in Hogsmeade. Then she started creeping toward the train station, smelling for Isabelle.

[calcetines]

Angel walked over to the grate and grabbed a small purple jar. Some of the employees at Ollivander's commuted by means of the Floo Network, and the Healer had not said anything about that. She threw some into the fire and stepped in. "The Three Broomsticks!" Angel said clearly. After a moment of intense whirling, she found herself in the grate of the pub, where she was also working, wiping off a counter. Quietly, Angel sneaked out the back door, then saw Gabriella. "What time did Isabelle show up?" asked she, looking down at her wrist, only to find she no longer had a watch. Wolfgang had given her one, but when he had broken up with her, Angel had tossed it into a fire and watched it burn.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella started to shrug, but then refocused her brain to remember the time when Emily had dropped to the ground and Isabelle had picked her up. "I think it was around 2:45," she replied. She peeked out at the train station. Even Emily wasn't there yet. "Should we just tell Emily and me to go back to the castle, or something?" Gabriella wasn't so sure about this whole messing with time thing. And what if they messed up?
