Tomb of Predilection

I try to bite into her again.

OOC we need to wait on ray, her interwebs is down but she'll be back on wednesday. I gtg anyways bye

OOC: Ok, and see you

IC: I jump back, but keep my wand pointed at him. "Don't think so, buddy."

I walk into the cave, dragging Phoenix by her hair, not caring to be gentle or merciful.

Pixie: "Nice of you to join us," I say coolly.

I throw Phoenix to the ground harshly, then step on her back. "You are going to regret everything you've done!" I say to Pixie.

Pixie: "Here's the thing. Harm one more hair on Phoenix's head..." I point my wand at Crouch's head. "Bye-bye Bad Guy. You, too. I won't hesitate." As if to prove my point, I cast another powerful crucio on Crouch.

"Or, you do that to Crouch again and I'll snap Phoenix's neck!" I place my foot (wearing combat boots) on Phoenix's neck, not putting any pressure on... Yet.

Phoenix: I stare at Pixie. Do it. Do it anyway. Kill Crouch. Do it.

Pixie: I ignore her. "Stalemate. Lovely," I say sarcastically. "How 'bout this... we switch hostages, Phoenix and I skedaddle, and we forget this whole business?"

"Not until you give Crouch his power back."

Pixie: "To be perfectly honest, I don't know how. I guess it'll just fade back into him after a while. If you've got any Veritaserum I'll drink it and say that again, if you want. I swear on Phoenix's life, I don't know how or when it will go back to Crouch."

"No... I need to know it will go back to Crouch. You have to be completely sure..."

Pixie: "Do you really think one body could hold the magic of two wizards for long? Use your common sense!" I make a tsk sound. "I'd give it until sunset, at the latest. Odds are he'll have it again by then. Well, I hope. It's a tad uncomfortable having this much magic in me."

OOC: Gtg, sorry

"Then we'll stay here as long as it takes!" I wonder if it would go back to him if I were to just kill her...

OOC It's fine, bye!

"Well done Raven... I knew I could count on you..." A coughing fit erupts.

"I don't... have much time.."

I look at Crouch with concern. Dragging Phoenix with me, I walk over to him, holding out my wrist. "Will blood help?"

"It's... past that now..." I cough violently.

"Damn..." I mutter. There MUST be a faster way than just to wait... We don't even know if Pixie's right and it will just go back to Crouch eventually. "There must be a faster way..."

"Raven... should... the worst happen... after killing them.... help... Amy take care of Alexis and Ben..." I cough more.

"No... Don't talk like that!" I say to him, not wanting to believe there's such a possibility that he won't make it. "You're going to LIVE, Crouch!"

OOC Omdl, now I'm imagining Ray's reaction if Crouch were to die... ( Hell would unleash on the earth... )

OOC I think the world wouldn't be safe EVER!

IC

"Should I not... I... have to kno... know they're safe."

OOC Yeah, Ray would make sure that NO ONE is ever happy agian... (except Crouch's family, of course)

IC "No... You're NOT going to die! I would make sure they're safe, but you're going to LIVE!!"

"Thank you..." I cough more viciously.

I tense up, planning every single little thing I'm going to do to those Flame sisters and whoever else helped in this in my head... They're going to face an EXTREMELY PAINFUL death...

"And Raven, should I go... please, beg the Dark Lord to forgive me for my failure..."

I start to shake a little, wishing he'd stop talking as if he is going to die... "Fine... But you're NOT going to die, Crouch! I won't let you! And believe me, these people are going to pay for doing this to you..."
