Shrieking Shack

She also left, glad someone finally listened to her.

gonna call it a night, bye!

Okay! Night Mer, it was fun!

Ooo... When is Crest going to see Sam?

I arrive with Sam, I promised her... no, I OWED her this much.

Sarah: I'm in the Shrieking Shack, running a frustrated hand through my hair.

Sam: I arrive, seeing Sarah and smiling, "Sarah!" Not able to help myself, I run up and hug her.

Sarah: "Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?!" I push her off of me, glaring at her and Crest.

Sam: "Sarah, listen... Crest and I were only pretending... He's doing this to protect his family..."

"Let me explain. A few centuries back, my family had a plan to overthrow the Ministry. This plan was later stopped but not destroyed. Some death eaters found out about it and used it to turn the Ministry against us."

"The only way to ensure my family's freedom was to harbor all the blame on myself."

Sam: "I went along with it so he wouldn't have to go through it alone... So he could be happier."

Sarah: I just stand there, shocked, and a bit hurt. "... And you couldn't trust me with it...?"

Sam: "No, Sarah... I promised I wouldn't tell ANYONE..."

Sarah: "But I'm your sister! You can trust me!" Tears are starting to fill my eyes; I'm VERY hurt.

Sam: "I've been wanting to tell you, Sarah! I've been so worried about you!"

Sarah: "Well, you certainly didn't do ANYTHING about that, did you?! I've been in what feels like a living Hell, worrying me SICK, while you've been off with your damn boyfriend endangering yourself!! YOU COULD'VE TRUSTED ME!!"

Sam: Now tears are filling my eyes, sliding down my face. "Sarah..."

Sarah: I'm silent for a long time. "Forget it... Go live your damn life with your damn boyfriend... Just forget about me..." I stand, walking away.

Sam: "SARAH!" I walk after her, but she pushes me away.

Sarah: "JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!" I run.

Sam: I just stand in my place, shocked.

I look at the floor, what had I done? I've hurt everyone. I don't deserve life.

OOC Dammit, I knew Crest would start feeling like that. I feel so guilty!

IC I just stand there, starting to shake, walking over to Crest, and hugging him, needing him. "I... Can't believe it..."

I hug her back, but stay silent. What could I say? Nothing I could say could justify this. Nothing I could do would ever make amends for this...

"Sam..."

I look up at him, wiping my eyes, but looking at him lovingly. "Yes?"

OOC I g2g now. Night!

"I... can't...." my voice, usually controlled and even was shaking profusely.

I hug him tightly and comfortingly, knowing he needs it now more than I do. "What is it?"

"I can't continue hurting you like this... I'm stepping up the plan."

"Crest, NO! If you want to continue it, then continue! Don't let my little fight with Sarah stop you..."

"No... I'm not doing it anymore." I look at her, "You're much more important than any one plan. We'll be out of this faster."

I don't know what to say... But I feel really guilty about this. I feel like I've hurt him... "But then what will we do? What about those other people apart of this?"

"We get my family to find us, they defeat us, I explain what I was doing, and we'll be free. And so will Axel."

I think about it, a bit excited, despite the loss I feel at what just happened between Sarah and I, at the fact that we'll be free to go do whatever... Relax... I look up at him, "Are you sure you want to do it?"

"Yes, I can't stand seeing you like this, it's paining me how much I'm hurting you. I was selfish of me to do this."

I shake my head, "Crest... I was the one who wanted to come, remember? You're not hurting me at all... I'm just shocked by what Sarah said..." I hug him, shaking a little bit, but trying to stay up for him.

I hold onto her, "I know, but I made you have to choose."

I give him a small smile, "And thank you for letting me choose... It's nice, knowing that you have freedom..." I look up into his eyes, mine filled withhonesty and earnestness, "I would've wanted to go with you either way, Crest. It's hard, being without you..."

"I knew I never couldve gotten this far without you." I hug her.

I hug him back, smiling a little, almost forgetting about the whole argument with Sarah. "I love you..."
