The Mask (open)

[darkfall]

Allison rose her wand as well, kicking the Death Eaters Mask away. She spat in its direction. "There's your precious future Bells. And guess what? I never wanted to be a princess. I only wanted to be myself." she hissed.

[[OOC: Okay, this has gone far enough. Had you read the first post, you would know that the Death Eater Mask is well hidden in a box, wrapped up and closed. Therefore, Allison wouldn't know about it, or be able to kick it. Secondly, Bella never hated her sister, she's just mad at her for leaving her with their parents. She's not evil, she's just pissed.]]

[[OOC: I know, but Allison had a hunch, followed it, and turned out to be right. And I know Bella doesn't hate Allison. I never said she was evil! And she kicked the box, not the mask.]]

[[OOC: Well, alright then, I shall now proceed with the fun]]

Bella watched in slow motion as the box was kicked away, opening back up again, the tissue paper falling out. But before the mask could become unraveled from the paper, there was a blast of fire that burned the whole thing. Ashes lay on the Slytherin floor now and Bella looked back up at her sister, wondering what she had said.

Allison was slightly stunned Bella would burn her gift. Shaking her head, she looked back at Bella. "Well then." she breathed, holding her hand to her chest. Her pulse was racing, and she needed to catch her breath.

Deep down in the depths of Bella's mind she remembered that her father had told her that the masks couldn't be burned. So that meant that it had gone somewhere else temporarily. Bella pushed the thought aside, she would find it later, not that she wanted to, but it would show up at the exact wrong time. Bella's temper had been slightly quenched by the burning of the mask and she now looked at Allison. "What did you say?" Bella asked.

Allison shook her head. "Nothing." she replied, sitting down in a loveseat, breathing deeply. "And before you ask, if you ever do, I'm fine." she replied sarcastically.

"Good," Bella replied, her voice even. She suddenly had a strong desire to leave the scene and just be alone. "Well, I'll be going to bed now," Bella replied, walking to the stairs and then hopping up, taking two at a time as she usually did. She was in her dorm soon and the same box was on her bed. "Great," Bella said sarcastically as she stuffed it in her drawer and locked it up.

Allison watched her sister leave, a rancid taste on her tongue. She knew she could never have the same relationship with her sister. Yes, it was bad before, but now? Now it was going to be even worse. Allison sighed and leaned her head back on the couch. Somewhere in her range of sound, she heard a rustling. She didn't think anything of it at first...

Bella put a few basic spells on the drawer, but anyone who really wanted to get in there could probably break the spell, as long as they were at least a sixth year or so. Bella plopped back on her bed, wondering why Allison was being so weird lately. The way Bella saw it, Allison was the one at fault, not her. What had she ever done to deserve all of this? She had been good, she had been her sister's best friend until she started at Hogwarts. That was back when they're family had still been together, though. Now things were different, and Bella couldn't quite figure out where she had gone dramatically wrong.
