Unafraid *open*

[liveitup]

Belle poked her eye in the back of her head, all that could be seen was whitness. Good, she wasn't being followed. Her eye returned to its normal postion, and she continued on. She paused about ten yards from where the tree stood. She wasn't afraid of it, she'd used the passage under it many a time. And lately it hadn't been putting up much of a fight. It was getting older... Belle walked silently to its roots. The tree swung a few feeble attempts, none of which worked. Belle ducked into the passage, then ontinued down it. She emerged in the shreiking shack, but heard voices... That was odd, nobody had done that before... Normally it was just Belle snooping around in there. A hand was pressed over her mouth. "Gotcha." whispered a voice in her ear. Belle bit the hand which covered her mouth, the man yelled and let go. Belle started screaming as loud as she could. "Shut up you idiot!" Snapped another follower, who then hit Belle firmly over the head. It hurt, but didn't knock her out as intended. Belle pretended to be unconcious as she was carried up the stairs, then thrown onto the floor in a room. She felt tight chords bind her, a gag stuffed roughly into her mouth. Great, her wand had been removed from her pocket. She couldn't transform into a dove form! Her telepathy had been blocked! Then the beatings started. There were only two followers, but the damage they were doing was immense. Belle felt terrible, she was bleeding, several of her bones felt broken. Belle then resided in her last resort, her electric elemental. She managed to take out one of them, but more joined the rankings. Belle saw they had all donned rubber boots, she couldn't shock them. The beating continued, then with one blow to her head, Belle was knocked out as they continued to harm every bit of Belle they could reach. She continuosly slipped in and out of her conciousness, pain inudating her. A follower grabed her leg, twisted it backward and put pressure on the knee. A loud crack rang through the silent and disrepared house. Belle was stuck, she was going to die... Another follower seized the ankle of her broken leg, then pushed it forcefully to the side. Another crack. Followers snickered quietly. Belle saw a follower back up, run forward, then jump onto her stomach. Belle's eyes watered, she couldn't breathe...

Jasmine had been sitting in the raftersof the shrieking shack in hawk form. She transformed and lept down her gun ready. She had trained to be a sharp shooter. She shot evry follower in sight and kneed and c=kicked any that came near belle. She finnaly used the barrel of the gun to knock one out. She began to heal Bell as she regained conciousness.

Belle was dizzy, her vision blurry... Dried blood was stuck in some of her hair, a deep cut was along her cheek. Her already pale skin was even whiter than normal...

[popprincess1995]

"What a mess" She muttered. She used water from her wand to watch all the blood from her. She then began to heal the bones. She sewed mucscle and then sealed the skin. She helped ehr sit up.

Belle felt just plain awful, she could barely move, despite Jasmine's kindness, she was still stiff, it was still a challenge to breathee normally... "Thank you." Belle said weakly.

[popprincess1995]

Jasmine nodded. She sat against the opposite wall thnking. She always seemed to be in the right place at the right time but she was also a follower magnent, she wished everything would stop

Belle sat up, leaning against a wall for support. She was stiff, she positively ached. Belle sat for a moment, then decided she'd go and lay down for a bit... "Thanks again, you saved my life." Belle said softly, then opened another passage and disappeared into it.

Jasmine sat there. A follower emerged from the shadows. Jasmine stood up and bowed but kept her eyes on him. "Proof enough for you?" SHe asked. The follower nodded and tossed her a mask.
"Find Cici and get her in the entrance hall tomorrow at sundown" He said in an icy voice.
"And my name is?" She asked.
"Gren, like your aunt that was killed" He said. Jasmine nodded and bowed again. The follower dissaperated. Perfect, she was on the inside. She ran to go tell Cici

Belle went through the passage and opened it up, directly into the Gryffindor common room. She didn't msake it to her bed, Belle lay down on the couch, then crashed.
