Weak (Family)

[calcetines]

Angel shuffled down the corridor, she still felt ill. After the incident at the Halloween dance, she had been unable to recover fully. She never had quite enough stamina to make it through the day. Angel sighed, she wished that this all had never happened. Maybe this occurred for a reason, just fate tossing a really crappy game of dice. Angel thought. She leaned against a wall in the empty corridor, completely exhausted. It had been a very long day. She wondered how she possibly could drag herself up four more floors to get to her dormitory, crap.

Ariana had been skipping through the castle, something she did when she was bored. As she leapt down the stairs she found Angel leaning on a wall. "Hi!" She jumped to a stop in front of her sister. When her sister didn't smile she frowned. "What's wrong?" She asked, bouncing on her toes from pent up energy.

[calcetines]

Angel slid her eyes closed, she wondered if it were possible to fall asleep while standing up. That would be nice, then she wouldn't have to drag herself up five more flights of stairs. "I'm just exhausted, Ari." said Angel. She assumed that her sister knew about the poison at the ball, the whole school did.

[lily]

Ariana folded her arms. "I guess this isn't a good time to ask what happened at the ball? Everyone keeps saying something about you at the ball, but I never listen to the whole story." She bounced energetically on her toes. All her pent up energy had to be spent somehow. Maybe she could lug her sister up five flights of stairs.

Angel sighed, it was just like Ariana to not listen to a word that anyone was telling her. And of course, she would have to explain. She was just so tired... "All right, at the ball, someone poisoned my punch and I blacked out." Angel said, then paused. "But apparently what happened was Isabelle, the nurse, aided the poison, trying to kill me. So she and Gabriella had this big duel and Isabelle vanished. I was saved from the poison, but because of the dark magic Isabelle used, the damage done cannot be fixed."

Ariana nodded. "So you wanna get to your dorm?" She asked. "Well to bad, I'm taking you up anyway" She grinned and pulled out her wand. "Is it OK with you if I levitate you?" She asked, rocking back on her heels.

[calcetines]

Angel bit her lip, she didn't like the idea of being levitated. She preferred to keep her feet on the ground, she didn't even like being carried anywhere. It freaked her out. But it was a kind offer, and Angel did not have the stamina to get herself up there. "All right, thank you." Angel said, closing her eyes and bracing herself for getting magically lifted off the ground.

[lily]

Ariana conjured a floating stretcher. "Climb on" She told her sister. Her mind was still streaming with images of Jake. She tossed her wand in the air and caught it with one hand. She put her wand out in front her and pushed the stretcher with magic. She tried to keep it steady, and kept it from dragging on the stairs.

[calcetines]

Angel had to close her eyes as the stretcher began to move, directed by Ariana's wand point. It wasn't that Angel didn't trust her little sister, she just didn't care for moving without her consent. It felt like going up the stairs was taking forever...

[lily]

Ariana made it up the first set of stairs. She lifted her wand higher to lift the stretcher higher off the ground up the next pair of stairs. Even though she knew it was stressing Angel out going so slow, but if she went any faster Angel would be dragging against the stairs as she went. "Half way there" She assured Angel as she started up the next flight of stairs.

[calcetines]

Angel gave a faint groan. She was never going to let herself get this tired again. Her energy and getting around without assistance was one of the very few things she was stubborn about. Sure, she was permanently weakened by the poison, but she would have to deal with it.
