Secretly Reading ~Isaac~

[malfoy]

Isaac could hear his sister's heart beating frantically. She must be really nervous. Allison needn't be. Isaac could support the both of them and run at the same time. Sure, he was faster when not carrying anything, but it was still fast enough. Isaac only stopped when a strip of pink appeared on the horizon. He set Allison down, ready to catch her if she should pass out or something.

Allison stumbled a bit, but regained her balance quickly. She looked around. "Where are we?" she asked quietly. She couldn't really see straight, but what she thought she was seeing she wanted confirmation before freaking out or shouting with joy.

"A forest in the southern part of Wales." said Isaac. e would run to Hogsmeade after Allison had rested, but for now, they needed to be far away from the manor. Isaac would have apparated them there, but Allison was underage, and would have gotten followed. Besides, he liked running.

Allison shook her head, she was beginning to get sleepy. Using her bag as a pillow, and a woolly afghan she had brought with her, she curled up into a ball at the base of a large tree and looked back up at Isaac, eyes blinking sleepily.

[malfoy]

"Sweet dreams. I'll find someplace nice for you to sleep tomorrow, I promise." Isaac said softly. When he was sure that Allison was asleep, he used his wand to build a fire, to keep away the animals. He sat up, knees pulled to his chest. He watched Allison sleep, feeling envious. He had not been able to sleep in a very long time.

[darkfall]

Allison was soon asleep, she could see the flames flickering behind her eyelids. Dreams ceased to follow, she hadn't had a dream in forever. Then again, who needed dreams. Allison's head was her own safe haven, her place to think.

Isaac got up, noticing a limp in his left leg he had not noticed before. It was most likely because in the attack he had broken his foot, and had been unable to set the bones in the correct position before he blacked out. The venom had healed the fractures, but they didn't seem to be quite right... Isaac fingered his wand, loosely grasped in his fingers. He would keep watch, in case any muggles were to stumble upon them.

Allison wandered through memories, coming across more recent ones. Meeting Gabriella. Relieving the tension with her brother. Finding out he was Turned. All of that seemed dreadfully exciting then, but it slowly got less and less thrilling the longer she slept.

Isaac decided he would practice a nonverbal spell or two. He amused himself by levitating dead leaves with magic. He looked down at his sister, and the leaves fluttered to the ground immobile once more. He wondered if she was cold. Isaac flicked his wand at the fire, it warmed a bit, but did not get any brighter. He smiled, satisfied.
