"Morning." Alison muttered as Greyback stalked by giving her only a growl in return as she stirred the potion in front of her. "Damn werewolves." Alison muttered a little too loud and Greyback turned around, a scowl of his face, "Watch it...'Beau'iful'." Greyback made a mocking voice at the name Scabior liked to call her. Alison scowled back at him then looked back at her potion, counting the stirs carefully. "'Get off me! Stop it!'" Greyback mimicked again and Alison felt her jaw clench as she stared down at the potion, "'Nt tha' right?" Greyback laughed and Alison lost control, grabbing the spoon she was stirring the potion with and flinging it at Greyback's smug face, "Shut up you animal!"
Greyback let out a shout as the spoon bashed him right in the forehead, the potion splashing on his face. Alison gave a laugh as she realised the unfinished potion was giving Greyback boils across his face as he yelled in confusion, not sure what was going on. "What the hell is going on!" Joshua stepped out of his tent with his wand pointed in front of him. "This idiot just made me ruin my potion." Alison pointed to Greyback who snarled at her in pain and anger, "You threw spoon at me!"
"What?" Joshua looked at them in confusion, taking the scene in.
"Ugh, never mind, the potions gone." Alison stood up and kicked the cauldron in anger causing the liquid to spill out of the toppled container, sizzling as it hit the forest floor. Greyback growled again as he scratched his face causing the boils to burst into blood, "Wha' i' dis?"
"Oh get over it! It's only some boils!" Alison glared at Greyback who had his hands in front of him trying to see where he was going. "I'm getting away." Alison waved her hand and started walking into the forest away from camp. "Hey hey! You stay here Rosewood!" Joshua followed her but Alison ignored him, walking faster.
"I have orders to keep an eye on you and to watch you so get back to camp and brew another potion or sumthin' eh?" Joshua shouted, still following Alison further away from the tents. "Screw orders Joshua!" Alison shouted back at him, frustration getting the better of her. "Rosewood I've got to keep watch!"
"Why Joshua? I can't get out so what's there to keep watch on, and my name is Alison!" Alison waved back at him and he ran towards her, "Fine then Alison, do as I say and get the fuck back to camp! Scabior m-"
"Scabior? Screw Scabior Joshua!" Alison turned around quickly to face him, "You know what? Screw the whole lot of 'em, Greyback's gettin' screwed by those boils right now, Bowdon, oh I hope he got screwed over just like he screwed Cordelia over...!" Alison raised her arms in the air with a sigh, "Screw everything Joshua! The whole fucking situation, screw the camp, screw snatchers, screw the Ministry of flipping Magic..." Alison racked a hand through her hair, "...screw DeathEaters, you know what? Screw Lord damn Voldemort! Sc-"
Alison's anger rant was suddenly interrupted by a loud Pop! and she jumped as Joshua raised his wand, looking around them.
"Vy do ve 'ave to alvays leave ven some idiot says ze Dark Lord's name? Vot-" A woman's voice spilled out into the forest, echoing a strong Russian sounding accent.
"Shh!" A man's voice followed, silencing the females, "We know you're here! Somebody saying the Dark Lords name?" A hand pushed aside some branches leading them into the clearing that both Joshua and Alison were standing, Joshua with his wand pointing at the man and Alison looking very scared beside him. "Who-? Joshua? Joshua Berlinide?" The man stood out from the branches and Alison saw straight away that he was a snatcher, not only was he a snatcher but the snatcher that had threatened her more than two weeks ago at the snatchers office of the Ministry of Magic. "And...? You?"
"Who?" The owner of the woman's voice stood out from behind the man, looking very curious. She was tall, not much shorter than the quite tall man in front of her and she was young, probably not much years older than Alison, maybe mid-twenties. She had long blonde hair and blue eyes which only added to her beauty as they stood out on her lighted tanned skin. Her lips were painted a dark red and as she stood out into the full light to get a better view of Alison and Joshua she smiled slightly and seductively. The woman was wearing a very tight and very revealing black dress and shoes very similar to the ones Scabior had given Alison.
"Joshua! It 'as been too long...and your...friend?" Joshua smiled at her and looked slowly to Alison, not sure what to say. Alison mimicked his actions, feeling the pressure of him, the other snatcher and this very beautiful woman staring at her. "I..." Alison barely whispered and the woman smiled at her fully, "Awh, we scared ze poor girl Landan..." She smiled at the other snatcher and walked around Alison, looking her up and down, "Vot are you, Joshua my darling, doing in ze forest vit such a pretty little zing and saying ze Dark Lords name!" The woman laughed.
"It was a mistake, I don't think Alison her knew it was tabooed..." Joshua nodded towards Alison. The woman clapped her hand over her mouth in pleasant surprise, "Alison! Not ze Alison Rosevood?" The woman pronounced her name like Aleeeeysun, she grazed her arm against Alison as she reached the front of her, looking straight down at Alison's face wo was wondering how exactly this woman knew her name.
"Very nice to meet you..." The woman extended her arm and Alison took it and the woman shook it firmly, "...Scabior did tell me you vere very nice to look at but I did not realize 'ow nice exactly! I am Anabella Nik..." Alison opened her mouth slightly as she realised, this was the prostitute Joshua had told her about a while ago and the one Scabior met with the snatchers in Diagon Alley!
"...and zis is my...acquaintance...Landan, Landan zis is Sacbior's girl Alison!"
Landan nodded at Anabella, "I know, we met at the Ministry of Magic once...didn't know at the time though that she was Scabior's girl..."
"I-I'm not..." Alison said, "...I'm not Scabior's girl."
Anabella bent down slightly and brushed a piece of Alison's hair behind her ear, "To Scabior, I zink you are my lovely..." Anabella looked at her for a moment and with a quick smile looked back over at Joshua, "Vell, you still 'ave yet to answer my question! Vot are you doing 'ere?"
"Oh, our camp is just over there, there's not much there but everyone should be back soon." Joshua pointed back towards camp where smoke could now be seen rising up from it.
"Your camp! Ve must go and see everyone Landan." Anabella took hold of Alison's arm and started walking towards the camp confidently. Landan went to Joshua and the started talking far behind Alison and Anabella. "So you stay in zis camp vith Snatchers Alison? I 'ope ze only girl 'as her ovn tent?" Alison shook her head and Anabella frowned, slowing down. "I share with Scabior."
"Ahh, zat is not very nice...such a man like Scabior vit such a girl like you...zon't get me vrong, I adore Scabior, but some of 'is methods Alison...I 'ave known 'im for quite a vile and-"
Pop!
Anabella and Alison both jumped as half a dozen men apparated right in front of them who looked equally surprised. "Anabella!" Scabior said, a very obviously aroused smile on his face as he look Anabella up and down along with some of the others snatchers who looked very nervous at her presence. "Scabior." Anabella let go of Alison's arm momentarily as she gave Scabior a short hug, "Landan is vit me, Alison 'ere said ze Dark Lord's name so he 'ad to apparate."
"You said the Dark Lord's name eh?" Scabior glanced at Alison who was looking a little embarrassed. "Ah do not vorry, she did not know ze taboo, be nice Scabior..." Anabella put her arm around Alison's waist, "...and speaking of being nice, I 'ear you are 'aving Alison 'ere share a tent vith you!"
"Wha's wrong with tha'? You share tents with men all the time Anabella." Scabior said, twirling his scarf around his finger.
"Yes, but I am not an innocently beautiful lovely like Alison!" Anabella said back waving her hand at him as she stepped into the camp slowly. "At least I don't have to share a bed." Alison muttered as she stepped in after Anabella.
