Dublin, Ireland

I start sending curses to aurors in my sights, killing them.

-All sides are fighting epically, waves of waves of aurors try to attack Crouch but even their best efforts are as nothing before his magical might-

-Continues to fight-

"His magical might"? Bit arrogant there aren't we

OOC He's Crouch... need I say more?

IC

-Eventually I'm backed against a cliff over the sea-

Crouch: -Crazy Grin at it's widest- THE GAME BELONGS TO ME!!! -I use my Wand Hand and start firing curses at them-

I continue to shoot curses and defeat aurors, when I notice Crouch nearing a cliff. I look at him worriedly, but immediately focus on the task at hand.

-More and more aurors drop but eventually they keep rallying and start pushing back-

-There was only one way I was going to ensure the success of our mission at this rate. I point my wand down at the ground and fire one large spell-

-A large green explosion engulfs the cliff, taking all the aurors attacking me with it and I'm sent flying off the cliff-

-As I'm falling, I cast the Dark Mark in the air. I can't help but think about how close that was, even I was starting to get tired from that. Well no matter, it's the result that counts... I'll just cast a protego on myself, swim to shore, report back to the Dark Lord, maybe treat Amy and I to a gourmet meal...-

-I cast the protego but it's shaky, I must've used more magic than I thought... but fortunately it holds to weaken the impact of hitting the water but it drops close to immediately afterwards. Then all of a sudden I'm being taken further into the ocean. A rip tide! Now... I have to be strong enough to swim back. -

-I try to swim back but my muscles aren't cooperating... Prodigium Lassitudine... it must've taken effect! Dammit!!-

-I am taken out further and further and further into the ocean until I'm out of sight-

My eyes widen as I see what happens. I kill off the rest attacking me, and walk across all the dead bodies to the edge of the cliff. I look as hard as I can, but I don't see Crouch anywhere. I start to shake a bit, feeling the anger rising.

-I keep fighting Jaq and notice Crouch has fallen off the cliff... could he really be...?-

OOC BRB folks!

He can't be... He's Crouch for goodness sake!! I sigh with irritation, wanting to take the anger I'm feeling out on someone...

It's over Raven... just surrender now...

I turn to face Artemis, a burning anger and hatred showing in my eyes . "Who are you to say it's over? And why on earth would I surrender? Do you really think I'm the kind of person to give up so easily?!" I raise my wand, shooting a number of curses at him.

-I block the spells, but it proves difficult, she's strong... Crouch probably had a hand or two in that...-

-I send my own curses at Raven-

I block most of them, a couple hitting me. My eye twitches in anger. I point my wand at him, sending a powerful curse at him.

-I can't control this one and am knocked back several feet by it and have some new cuts on my chest, I stand back up-

Raven please... don't go down this path. There's still time!

"Time to do what?! I've chosen my path, Artemis, knowing the things I'd have to do!" I stand and raise my arm once again, the dark mark showing on my arm. I send another curse at him.

-I counterattack with a curse- So then, you've become like Crouch... a remorseless monster! What happened to the girl who regretted her role in Liria's abduction?!

"So you think I don't regret that? I never wanted to do that! I was forced by that bastard Eleazer!" His curse hits me, knocking me back.

Raven, you still have your humanity... don't lose it!! If you continue down this dark road, you will! Please, for your sake more than anyones!

I sigh, "It means a lot that you care, Artemis, a lot more than you know... but... I know what I've done. I know that I've killed innocent peope-not counting Jerome- and I never knew I'd be capable of doing it... But I've already signed up to be a Death Eater, and there's nothing that can change that..."

Yes there is! Face up to what you've done! I can help you... Raven, Crouch went down the dark path and it caused him to die! You can turn your back on them!

I hold back tears, not wanting to show weakness. "How?! I've taken lives, Artemis... How could I live with myself if I turn back on them now?" The tears are starting to show in my eyes.

-I offer my hand- Just trust me... I can help you...

I bite my bottom lip, so hard that it starts to bleed. I'd be betraying Crouch... My first ever friend... But I'd be guilt-free... I start to shake, not knowing what to do; my breathing is getting a bit uneven; my mind is racing everywhere in confusion.

-keeps hand out- Raven... do what you know in your heart is right...
