Topic: Stranded

[LavyBrown]

Lavy sat up straight, looking all around her. Though the dense fog she could make out trees but not much else. She stood slowly and promptly fell back down, to dizzy to keep her balance. She pressed her forhead against the cool grass for a moment before trying again. A sharp pain went though her whole body,making it near impossible to think clearly.

She made it to a close by tree and leaned against it, trying to figure out where she was. It had a sense of familiarity and yet seemed completely changed. She touched her leg and when she brought her hand to her face she saw it was covered in dark red blood. She sighed and slid to the ground. There was no use trying to walk around in the state she was in.

She took off her thin jacket and tore it into long strips. She wrapped one of them around her bleeding leg and pulled it tight, causing another sharp pain to go up and down her spine. She stood again, ignoring her throbbing head and started hobbling forward, looking for familiar landmarks or better yet a person.

"Lavy?"

Her voice was shaky and rushed, and Stacey slowly walked out from the darkness. "Lavy, what happened?" She wasn`t going to ask if she was okay; it was obvious she wasn`t.

Stacey immediatly gently pushed Lavy against a tree and pulled a knife out of her side. She tore a strip of farbic off of her shirt and splinted her friend`s leg. "What hurts?" she asked, totally ignoring everything.

[LavyBrown]

"Everything," Lavy said trying not to try start crying, "My head the most."

Lavy let her head fall backwards against the tree and relaxed slightly. She tried to focus on something other then the shooting pain in her body but there wasn't much to think about, "Keep talking please, it helps with the pain."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey clenched her teeth, her eyes spiraling dark green.

"What were you doing out here? This place can be dangerous if." She turned and pulled of a small packback and rumaged through it. She pulled out a sheet of white cloth and a small bottle. She wondered if Lavy noticed that her jeans were muddy and stained and her hair was a mess. This place wasn`t exactly welcoming.

"Here, take these." She opened the bottle and handed two little pills to Lavy. With a flick of her wrist a glass filled with water appeared. She handed it to Lavy and started tearing the cloth into strips.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy took the pills and swallowed them. She took a deep breath but caught herself, realizing that that only made the pain worse, "We have to get out of here, they might follow me."

Lavy slowly pushed herself up, using the tree to brace herself, "Come on," She said stepping forward and almost falling face first into the grass. She sunk down to her knees, "We have to get out of here," Lavy repeated.

[potter_fan122]

"Yes, we have to get out of here, but we can`t do that if you can barely walk." Stacey knelt down beside Lavy and rested hre hands on her shoulders. Her hands grew warm and started to glow slightly.

"You said that they might follow you; who`s they?" She asked, her eyes staring into Lavy`s eyes and hoping that Lavy wouldn`t have the sense to ask why ehr hands were glowing.

[LavyBrown]

Lavy shook her head trying to clear it. It only made a spinning worse, "Some Russian mobsters. When Neo and I were still together they tried to cut some shady deal with us but I wanted to look into it. I found out they were trying to put some people in our organization to try to work in laws to make human and drug trafficking easier. So we cut them off."

"They've had it out for me ever since. And now that Aiden, my Aiden is out of the country for a few days, they thought now could be there only chance to make an example of me."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey nodded, chewing the inside of her lip for a moment. She tilted her head to the side until her neck popped, closing her eyes.

"Is there anything else that hurts in particular besides your head?" She asked as she opened her eyes again. "And if you want to get out of here, where do you propose we go and how we get there?"

[LavyBrown]

"We need to get to the school. If we go to the hospital everyone will hear about this and there could be more attempts on my life or someone I care for. The school would never release information. We may have to walk part way depending on where we are and if there is magic preventing...well magic."

She stood, again, slower this time, using a tree to support her. She focused hard on staying upright, "We need to get out of here as soon as possible. I don't want them to find us here completely defenseless."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey couldn`t help but roll her eyes, crossing her arms and shifting her weight to one foot.

"Seriously, Lavy. I mean, I know it`s been a while, but do you really think I`m defensless? And especially since I have an over protective dad that married a Muggle, I know how to shoot a gun." She leaned just sligthly to the side, her shirt pulling tighter on one spot where a cluster of weapons was hidden. "I`ll take you to the school-- we can Apparate, if you want-- and I`ll take you to the hospital wing." She tilted her head, standing up straight.

"You know, you look like crap."

[LavyBrown]

Lavy started laughing but realized it was making everything hurt more. She forced herself to stop, "You don't want to play with these guys. You can see what they did to me, since according to you I look like crap."

She felt her face. Both of her lips were split and bleeding. Her eye was almost completely shut it was so swollen and she could feel a huge gash right above her next were she vaguely remembered be bashed over the head with a pipe and then a spell. She could only what the rest of her body looked like. She leaned towards Stacey for support.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey hook her arm under Lavy`s, hunching over a little to hold her up.

"Whatever. You do look like crap, but I`m still sure I could do a few things they can`t." She smiled, her eyes glimmering to an emerald green. "Come on. If you want to get out of here, are you okay to Side-Apparate? You don`t look like you`re up for much."

((Shortness, but I don`t care. =P ))

[LavyBrown]

((S'ok))

"I can try. If I focus just right when we do it I'll be fine. If not it looks like we are walking. Do you know how far into the forest we are. If it's far we might have to take a lot of breaks."

Lavy tried to stand up straighter with very little success, "Good, those Russians really know how to mess you up. I can't even stand up straight, let alone walk properly.

[potter_fan122]

"We`re about... thirty miles into the forest. Not even on school property anymore, I don`t think. And it would be absolutely no good to walk. We would be making a lot of stops." Stacey frowned, her eyes darkening.

"We really should get going. I`m going to Apparate us to the edge of Hogsmead, just past the Three Broomsticks. Can you imagine that?"

[LavyBrown]

Lavy closed her eyes and thought hard, trying to imagine everything from the sights to the sounds to the smells of where they were going. For a moment she could almost hear drunken men singing happily she was concentrating so hard...

And then her leg started hurting. More then hurting. It felt like she had been hit by a car while at the smae time being ran over by an airplane. She collasped onto the ground taking in deep breaths so she wouldn't puke. It take all her strengh in that moment to stop herself from passing out.

"Sorry...."she gasped.

(time to bring in Neo?)
