What's In A Name? -open-

[potterfreak14]

Indago sat on her bed, flipping through a book. Originally, the book had been titled; 1,000 and Some Names if You Can't Decide What to Call Your Baby, but Indago had changed the name of the title, to prevent snooping. It now read In Depth Transfiguration Procedures, which made sense, since Transfiguration was the one magical aspect Indago struggled with. Christina sat beside Indago on the bed, leaning her head on Indago's hip, sleeping. Picking Christina's name had been easy, Evan had liked it, and so had she. Indago felt a terrible pang in the pit of her stomach. Evan. She missed him so much... Indago felt tears stinging at her eyes again. She wiped them away, but the pain in her soul was still sharp. Indago blocked her thoughts, you never knew who could be listening in on them these days. She turned her attention back to the book, although it did nothing to numb her pain. Her eyes traveled the page and rested on a name. Pansy, Indago rather liked it. That's what she'd name her baby if it were a girl, it was still to early to tell. Then she thought she looked for a boy's name, just in case, you never could tell. Somehow her fingers stumbled upon the S section. Indago then knew the boy's name she'd use. Simon. The door creaked open, Indago snapped the book shut and looked up to see...

Aly. Aly was not in a good mood. She had been thinking hard lately and had come in for the comfort of plopping on her bed. She saw Indago sitting there with a book in her hands. "Hey Indago," she said dully.

[potterfreak14]

"Hi, Aly." Indago responded, she got the hint Aly wasn't in a good mood, so she decided not to pursue further conversation. Should I tell her? Indago thought. She quickly blocked her thoughts, recalling Aly was a telepathic. Indago didn't feel like having someone find out her secret by themselves, she'd rather tell them herself...

[girlingreen]

Aly read the single thought without even thinking about it. "Tell me what?" she asked, sitting on her bed. She didn't want to pry, the words just seemed to come out automatically. "Sorry," she said quickly.

[potterfreak14]

"Well, maybe I ought to tell you. I really haven't got a clue how to go about telling you..." Indago said, telling Minnie had been hard enough, but telling Aly? That was a whole different story...

[girlingreen]

"If you want to tell me, start at the beginning," suggested Aly. "And if you don't want to tell me...well, I'm a little tired anyway." Aly could see Indago's frustration. The curiosity was nearly killing her, but she remained calm.

[potterfreak14]

Indago rubbed her temples, no matter how hard she worked her brain, she couldn't seem to find words. She left the book closed on her bed and stood up, gently laying Christina in the crib beside her bed. "Maybe some other time, I just can't..." Indago whispered.

[girlingreen]

"That's okay," replied Aly. "Like I said, I could use some sleep." Aly blocked her thoughts and leaned back on the bed. She wasn't about to tell anyone that she couldn't sleep anyway.

[potterfreak14]

Indago sat up in her bed, and stuffed the retitled book back into her trunk. She leaned against the post, she was tired. How am I supposed to handle this? thought Indago. She had enough on her plate as is...

[girlingreen]

Aly rubbed her temples, trying to make her headache go away. It was no use. The headache wouldn't go away. She groaned and burried her face in her pillow. Why was life so difficult? Everything always managed to go wrong. It wasn't just a headache.

[potterfreak14]

"Kill me, you're going to kill me?" said a voice, coming from a shadowy figure, it was followed by a high, icy laugh.
"As a matter of fact, yes." Indago snarled defiantly, grasping her wand, pointing it at the figure.
"You're messing with a Riley, you're going to get hurt." The figure said, rolling its eyes.
"Oh shut up June, throw your worst at me." Indago taunted.
The figure cast a bright blue ball of magic, it missed. But the spell hit a table, which exploded and sent debris everywhere.
"The best you've got?" Indago asked sarcastically, then sent a spell at June, missing, seeing as June had disappeared.
Indago sank to her knees and screamed. A knife had been plunged through her stomach. The knife was wrenched out, then thrust though her chest, Indago fell onto her back, alive, but barely. June's face appeared in her line of vision.
"No, this is the best I've got." said June, pointing her wand at Indago's throat. "Avada Kedavra!" June yelled.
There was a bright green light...

Indago sat bolt upright in her bed. Beads of sweat tickling her forehead, her breathing heavy and coming in sharp bursts. It was only a dream, she was in her bed, safe...

[girlingreen]

Aly was wrenched out of her own horrible dream by Indago's scream. She bolted up. "Indago?" she whispered, not wanting to wake anyone else. She walked to Indago's bed to find her breathing heavily with a look of horror on her face. "What happened?" she asked.

[potterfreak14]

Indago took a moment to calm down. "It was all a dream, forget it. Just a dream..." Indago said, breathing finally slowing down. She was unable to return to sleep, there was too much adrenaline in her system...

[girlingreen]

"Okay," said Aly, a bit unsure. Indago had looked scared out of her mind. Aly crept back to her bed. She laid down, but couldn't sleep either. The silence enveloped her as she thought.

[potterfreak14]

Indago felt a bit queasy, whether it be from the dream or the two human beings in her womb, she didn't know. But, Indago did feel a lot like throwing up. [/i]Damn this... Indago thought, laying down and closing her eyes, but not really sleeping.
