Midnight {open}

Indago wandered down the corridor, it was the middle of the night, but Indago didn't care if she'd get detention. Indago sighed, shoving her hands in her pockets, she knew that she promised Azul to never go anywhere alone, but was there really a danger to walking around the CASTLE alone? The answer was yes. A dark figure popped out from behind a suit of armor and bound and gagged her so she couldn't scream, nor move. Then all she saw was blackness as she blind-folded. "Someone! Help me!" Indago tried to project, but all she heard was her own thoughts echo in her head. A spell had been placed upon her to make telecommunication impossible. She tried to kick the person, but he sight being blocked made it impossible. She felt something sharp get pressed against her neck. "If you plan to live longer than three more minutes you'll stop fighting." said a female voice in her ear. Then some male laughter was heard, then Indago fell still, tears welling in her eyes. She used to hate life, but now she didn't want to die, there was still so much left to do, and she didn't want Christina to grow up without a mother... Some crying was heard, Christina! They had her too! "Now, if you do as we say, then we'll spare your child, and think about sparing your life. We don't like being child killers, but we will if you don't cooperate." said the male voice. Indago nodded slowly, crying silently. "Good, I'm going to untie you, if you decide to run away both you and your child won't live past tonight. Got it?" snapped the female voice. Indago nodded yet again, scared for her life and Christina's. She was untied, then forced to stand up. She was still left gagged and blind-folded, what was the point of running, it's not as if she could scream or even see where she was going in the first place. Although she couldn't project to others, her mind was blocked from being telepathically tapped into, she began to formulate plans, but none of them seemed to be able to work in the slightest. She was forced down some stairs into a room, and heard a lock. There was crying, and the sound of a match being struck. Then came the sickening smell of burning tobacco. "Don't smoke Redlum! It will give us away!" hissed the woman. "Right, sorry Greene." said Redlum. There was a soft noise as the cigarette was put out. The smell of tobacco still hung glumly in the room. The crying of Christina eventually fell silent, but there was the noises of her coughing on the remaining smoke. The poor child, it was hurting her growing lungs, she just wanted to smack the guy, but she wouldn't be able to locate his face while being blind-folded. Then came the pain. They began beating her exsessively, not pausing for a moment, they should've just used their wands... At least her death might've been less painful... Then it stopped, there was stream of cusses, then Redlum and Greene disappeared as the doors creaked open, then Indago felt herself slipping into unconciousness... Then it all went black.

Jasmine heard some slapping noises. She turned and used her magic to see a door. She pulled out a wand."Alohamora" she muttered. The lock clicked. She was in! She crept in and saw two shadows over one and a small shadow on the floor. She cast a silent spell to keep the baby quiet as she scooped it up. It was christina! "I have your baby, She will be fine with me, I will tell Cci right away." she projected to Indago. She crept out. She ran down the hall. She sped into Cici's office. She was at her desk. "Indago... Kidnapped...Redlum, green...saved baby...beating indago" she gasped for breath as she cradeled Christina in her arms. Cici stood up in shock.

Indago gasped in pain as she was continually beat, she was losing her conciousness that she had just recovered... Redlum and Greene seemed not to notice the absense of Christina, they were too preoccupied with beating Indago to care.

Cici looked at Jasmine, eyes widened. "Stay here with Christina." was all Cici could say before she bolted to the door. "Meet me in the Hospital wing in an hour." Cici projected as she began running down the corridor. She slid into the classroom undetected. "Bind." She whispered and both Redlum and Greene, fell, bounded. She magicked them out to the grounds, then apparated with them to Askaban, then came back, and bolted back to the classroom, it had been nearly an hour. She gently picked up the unconcious Indago, then walked up to the Hospital Wing, laying Indago gently on a bed. She found that it would be much to risky to use magic at the moment, then took the muggle approach and binding Indago's numerous wounds.

Jasmine came in with Christina in her arms. She was still asleep. She pulled out her wand with one hand and waved it. A crib appeared as she lay Christina in it. "It wont be long before they get revenge on me for messing up their plans AGAIN." pointed out Jasmine. "Indago knew she shouldnt of gone by herself, I heard her thoughts and followed her." she explained.

[* JAQI]

Cici's eyebrows narrowed as she attended to Indago, and listened to Jasmine. "Miss Renthlow, I don't want you going anywhere alone anymore, You're to sleep in my office at night, it's not safe. Anyone who has been involved with these people needs to be protected. I'll do the best I can, but you guys need to be extremely careful." Cici warned. Cici then put a splint on Indago's leg, then straightened her postion, she had a fracture somewhere along her spine and this angle wasn't helping it.

[popprincess1995]

"I have to what?" asked Jasmine incredoulesley. "Who will take care of Christina?" She asked. "Indago is out cold and you need to tend her, besides, kI can protect myself, I have done it a million times" She said stubbornly. "Besides" she said with a shrug "Where woulsd I sleep in your office." She said, trying to convince Cici. "I only interfeared a couple of times..." Jasmine trailed off. She realized that she interfeared more than once. "And they are in Azkaban" she added.

"Miss Renthlow, Redlum and Greene are the smallest of our worries. June will be furious, she'll try and get in here any way possible, plus, I'm decent at Transfiguration, I'll transfigure my desk into a bed. Please don't argue with me, I can handle Christina." said Cici, then bit her lip, she blocked her thoughts, why was Jasmine being so stubborn? All Cici was trying to do was save her life!

[popprincess1995]

Jasmine heard the stubborn thought. "I was able to fend for myself since I was two" she said furiously. "Now, I know magic, why do I always need people breathing down my neck. Everybody is so pushy and protective" She said angreley as her voice rose. "I am not a child!!" She yelled as she turned around andstarted to walk out. Cici layed a hand on her shoulder.

[* JAQI]

"I know you're not. I'm worried about you Jasmine. I've been through all this crap, now for the third time. I was about seven, this was when Voldemort had risen again, he killed my family before my eyes, and nobody ever looked out for me, I was alone all the time, everybody else was too worried about themselves to care about me, even after I started Hogwarts. I just didn't want you to feel the same way." Cici said, eyes tearing.

[popprincess1995]

Jasmine felt bad but she didnt want people protecting her, she was independent because she wanted to be, not because she had to be. She bit her lip and looked at her feet. Cici had to be independent, Jasmine was still independent because she wanted to be. She didnt want any ones help with anything. No one understood why she was the way she was. She didnt want or need sympathy either. Anger swelled up inside her, Cici was just like everyone else! Pushy and protective and sympathetic just because she was an orphan. "I dont need your help!!!" she shouted as she turned away and tears streamed down her cheecks.

[* JAQI]

"Miss Renthlow! If you're thinking it's just because you're an orphan, you'd be terribly wrong. I'm naturally protective. I understand you're an independant person, but please, there's a fine line where independance meets risking too much. I don't want to lose you." Said Cici, tears flowing softly from her cheeks.

[popprincess1995]

"Well maybe I dont care of I risk to much!!!" she yelled. "I dont want anyone risking their life for me again. I am sick of it. I caused my mom to die, I dont want anyone dieing for me again. I was here the whole time wandering the castle and I was never caught!!!" She yelled again. She sat on a bed on the other side with her arms crossed and her back to cici.

Indago had been awake for the last five minutes, she'd heard everything. "Jasmine, you know full well it isn't your fault." Indago said quietly, laying flat on her back. She was unable to sit up straight at the moment.

[popprincess1995]

"Yes it was. If I was not born she would be alive. I am nothing but an orphan slytherin. She was a Gryffindor with tons of trophys. I am worth nothing." She cryed into her hands.
