Silent Screams (Gabriella/open) -MATURE CONTENT-

[igloogirl]

Gabriella followed her sister down the stairs, her every sense on alert as to not let anyone hurt Emily again. She noticed the pale white of Emily's knuckles on the railing. Gabriella would probably stay outside the Slytherin dorm all night to make herself feel better.

Emily stumbled several times on the stairs, but was able to recover her balance because of the handrail. She didn't bother trying to make herself stop crying, she knew it was no use. Her dreams would be full of nightmares... Emily might as well not sleep at all. She wished that Gabriella could come into the dorm with her, but she knew that was against the rules, and Gabriella was rather like Hermione in that sense. Emily whispered the password to the portrait and slipped inside the common room, with a nod of goodbye to her sister. Not bothering to go to her dorm, Emily laid on the couch before the dying fire, crying silently.

"Bye," Gabriella said after the portrait had already closed and her sister was already in her own common room. With a muffled sigh, Gabriella slipped to the ground beside the entrance to the Slytherin common room. She buried her head in her hands, wishing she could cry.

Emily was probably doing more than enough crying for the both of them. She had placed her face straight down in the couch to muffle her quiet sobs. She was so scared and she didn't want to be alone. But Emily didn't want to be a burden on her best friend, Allison, so she remained where she was.

Isaac didn't know why, but he had actually decided that he would try to sleep. It was impossible. He could lie in bed, eyes closed, but he wouldn't fall asleep. Well, it had been worth a try. He could smell Emily on the air as he walked down the stairs, but something didn't smell quite right about her. She was sobbing, and she had a strange smell hanging about her. Isaac's eyes widened when he realized what must have just happened. He sat beside Emily on the edge of the couch and placed a hand on her back. "It's okay," Isaac whispered, still freaked out. "Nobody is going to hurt you anymore,"

Emily looked up at Isaac, he was so kind, hard to believe that he wanted to be in Slytherin. But then again, his father might have killed him if he was in Gryffindor or something. Her eyes were stinging. How could Isaac be so sure? She barely trusted anyone now. "Are you sure?" Emily whispered.

[malfoy]

"As long as I'm here I'm very sure," said Isaac, trying to be comforting, but he wasn't all that good at the whole thing. Gabriella was, not him. He gently rubbed Emily's upper back, then whipped out his wand and conjured a blanket and pillow. He gently tucked her in.
