RPG from the Harry Potter World Club
Anne looked at Mistikal.
'Earth doesn't exist yet,' she said. 'It will only exist when either side will win. Meaning, either when Tom has everyone on his side or we defeat Tom. Not an easy job to do either way.
'I don't know what to do, and since we're the two living elements, we're the ones to decide.'
She looked at him again.
'What should we do?!' she finally exclaimed.
At that moment, Crono walked in and said. "Anne, I'm sorry about running away from you. I'm not scared of you, not at all. To be completely honest, I really like you. But I have to go. If I die in the battle, then I wanted you to know."
Anne looked at him, slowly understanding what he had said.
'There is no way you're going to fight this battle,' she said glancing at Mistikal for reassurance. 'This is a battle between Tom and us. The battle of elements if you want. I'm not going to let you in. It's too dangerous! Please promise me you won't try to interfere.'
Tris walked out of the great hall and felt as though someone had placed a brick wall in front of her. She looked up and saw none other then Tom... He had his wand pointed at her and started to mutter words under his breath. Suddenly she felt as though some one had complete control over her....
"What is going on?" She thought to herself.
'Come with me young lady,' said an evil voice in her head. This startled her so bad that she almost screamed.
'Listen, you scream and I kill you on the spot! So come on!'
Tris felt herself moving, walking most likely.
Tom gave her a pen and made her write a note... it said:
Dear Anne and Mistikal,
Tom has taken me captive, he will not let me out of his control unless you come and turn yourselves over to him... PLEASE HELP!
Terisa Ann Morgan
The writing was so shaky that it was barely legible. Tris herself was shaking from head to toe. Tris started to scream and Tom knocked her out. Just as she was losing consciousness, Tris felt herself moving again.
Marsea stopped dead in her tracks.
"Tom's taken a captive." she whispered. "Follow me."
Marsea and Draco left the headmistress and walked down an empty corridor. They heard noises up ahead. They turned another corner and saw Tris walking like a Zombie.
"No!" Marsea screamed. She Rushed toward Tom. She didn't know how or why it happened, but Tom was knocked immediately to the ground. Marsea looked around. Had someone else cast a spell? No, there was no one there but Draco, and he was standing as though frozen with fear.
Marsea turned on Tom again, who was beginning to stand.
"Oh no you don't!" she yelled and pointed to Tom. A large blast of wind rushed out of her hand, slamming him against the stone wall. He stood.
"You're crazy if you think you can defeat me!" Tom spat. "I now have your powers."
He pointed his wand at Marsea and shouted "Tempestio!" but nothing happened.
"You fool." said Marsea. "What you fail to realize is that you only had my powers when I was on your side." she smirked, and pointed again. A large tornado swirled around Tom, capturing him in its vortex.
"Even fire cannot defeat wind, my friend." Marsea smiled again. "Draco," she turned. "I believe we should inform the others of this recent 'development.' I believe I now know how we can defeat our little 'friend'.
Daunte came rushing down the hall toward Draco and Marsea.
"What's happened? Someone stole my wand! I tried to stop him, but he locked me in a closet, I only just got out, where is he?"
"Calm down, we know how to defeat him. I can overpower him now," Marsea said.
"Ok, ok, so--." He stared at Marsea. "Hey, I thought you were on his side! You're trying to trick me! I'll show you!" He reached for his wand.
"You haven't got a wand," Draco said with a slight snigger. "Tom still has it. And besides," he said, before Daunte could lunge on Marsea, "She's on our side now. That's how she can overpower him."
"We need to find CC, Anne, and Mistikal." Marsea pointed at Draco and Daun. "You two, go after CC and Mistikal, I think they're still to. I'll go find Anne. Meet back here in two hours at the most."
They split up.
"Well," Daunte thought. "It seems we may finish Tom off after all, before he can do any more damage."
"What the heck!?" said Todd, standing next to the Headmistress. "Did you hear that!"
Todd broke away from Headmistress Stone and started running down a hallway. He turned a corner and saw a ghost trapping a man in a tornado.
"Too weird," he said. "Hey, is that that Tom person that the Headmistress Stone was talking about?"
"Marsea?" said the Headmistress coming after Todd. "What are you doing? Ok, I know you can't die again, but hold on."
She put Tom under her control even though he was still in a tornado. She had him walk towards her.
"Ok, I'm gonna end this for a while. I will take him to Azkaban myself. I know that I can do this. Marsea, please show Todd to the Slytherin common room so he can get some rest. Tris is fine now, because Tom is unable to control her right now. And some one make sure that Anne and CC are doing fine."
She walked with Tom down to the front doors.
Crono, not hearing Anne's words, ran out of the room.
He found Tom and started blasting him.
"Uh, Crono, Tom is under the control of the headmistress," said Marsea slowly. "She's going to take him to Azkaban."
Draco sniggered. "He's a little overexcited. I think. He wants to be the hero."
Marsea smiled. She still didn't like Crono, no matter what side he was on.
Marsea turned to Todd. "I am to escort you to our common room." she smiled again and turned to Tom. She released her tornado spell and Tom slumped to the ground, still under the control of the Headmistress.
She looked back at Draco, who was glaring at Todd as though he'd just stolen his Nimbus 2001.
"Oh calm down." she said to Draco. "Let's go, Todd."
"Shut up Malfoy." Crono said to him and cursed him.
Todd suddenly pointed his wand in front of Malfoy and shot a deflecting shield, so that the curse Crono launched at him bounced back at Crono. Then Todd followed Marsea.
Crono blasted it away, and it hit Malfoy. "Stupfy!" Crono yelled stunned Todd and left.
Todd suddenly spun around before the Stupfy could hit him. His eyes glowed red and a red aura surrounded him, destroying the stupefy. Then he returned to normal and just left muttering.
"Stupid Idiot," he said. "Shooting curses at defenseless ghosts and attacking someone just because they defended him. If the headmistress wasn't right over there and it wasn't my first day, he would be very sorry. I'm gonna get that @$$."
Marsea glared at Crono, but now was not the time for vengeance. He would pay, though. NO one cursed Malfoy in front of her, and now he'd done it twice.
She turned to Malfoy, who was reeling from his curse, but looking as though ready to retaliate on Crono. "Draco, don't." she said softly. "You just hurt his ego. Poor little Crono." she hissed, as Malfoy grinned.
"Come on Todd, let's go to the Common Room." Marsea said and began to walk off, followed closely by Draco, who was smiling now.
After walking for some time, Todd said - "You know, I really hate that guy. All I did was try to stand up for a helpless ghost and what did he do? He tried to curse me!" he smirked. "I'm gonna get him back so badly."
And he followed Draco and Marsea.
In the Hospital Wing, Mistikal and Anne were still talking. "Why is he running around looking for fights?" Mistikal asked Anne about Crono.
"It just seems that he is always in the wrong place at the wrong time or that he goes looking for trouble. I'm not saying that I don't do that sometimes but man...he must be a natural born fighter." Mistikal said to Anne as he took a look into the Entrance hall.
"Wonder where he went" Mistikal said as he returned to Anne's bedside.
Crono walked up to the hospital wing where he Anne and Mistikal talking. He stuck his head in through the door. "May I come in?" He asked
"Yeah sure, come on in Crono" Mistikal said to Crono. "Me and Anne were talking about Tom just a minute ago." Mistikal said to Crono.
A witch with wild red hair flew into the corridor at that moment and looked at the Headmistress. Picking up her broom in one hand and sighed.
"all the way here Stone." She said. "Can't apparate you know. Looks like you have Tom under control." She added her own spell too. "The ministry won't like this at all."
"Oh, hi, Vanessa," said Headmistress Stone. "Good to see you again. But I would have rather seen you in Hogsmade then in this situ. But oh well, we have to deal with it right?"
Vanessa and she walked towards the front doors, which took a while because they were almost at the Slytherin common room to start with.
So after they got there, and opened the front doors, Headmistress Stone suddenly said, "Wait. We need to check on two of my students who are in the hospital wing and see how they are doing. I don't think anyone but Poppy has been there with them."
So they walked a little while longer over to the Hospital Wing, the door was open so they went in.
"Hello Anne... Mistikal," the Headmistress said. "How are you two doing? Feeling better I hope?"
CC woke up again and saw that she was still in the Hospital Wing. There were lots of people in there now.
"Hello, who are you??" CC said to the stranger with wild, red hair standing by the Headmistress.
"My name's Vanessa, I'm a witch from the Ministry of Magic." she replied.
"Oh, are you here to finally take Tom away to where he deserves to be?? A cell in Azkaban??" she silently hoped that Vanessa would take Tom away and for all of this to be over.
"Yes hopefully. And you are…?" She asked CC. She looked at Stone then turned around making sure Tom was still there.
"Oh so you are awake again I see." Mistikal said as he walked over to CC's bed. "I think you were telling me something before you fainted for a second time?"
Then she turned to say to Mistikal, "I think all that I needed to tell you, I did. That Tom was armed with 2 wands and that he was going to try to get you, Anne, and the other elements on his side again."
"Poppy," said the Headmistress. "Can I have a word with you in your office?"
"Oh sure, of course" Said Madam Pomfrey. "I'll only be a minute everyone. Vanessa, you watch after Tom for me ok?"
Madam Pomfrey and she walked into her office and shut the door behind us.
"Poppy, how are they all doing? Any real damage?"
"Oh no, they are doing just fine. Anne is still having dizzy spells I think. But CC could leave first thing in the morning. Maybe Anne can too, after you get that Tom in Azkaban. But what they really need right now is a good night's sleep."
"Great, well just keep an eye on them while Vanessa and I take Tom, ok?"
"I'll be sure of it. Hope to see you in the morning then!"
"Yes. Bye Poppy."
"Bye."
Headmistress Stone opened the door and went out into the hospital wing again.
"Well, you are all doing great. Anne and CC will spend the night here and Mistikal you can sleep in your dorm. Vanessa and I will go take Tom to Azkaban. I'll see you all tomorrow at breakfast."
Vanessa and Headmistress Stone went towards the front doors, out and on the way to Azkaban on their brooms with Tom floating behind them.
"Once we get far enough we can apparate."
"Uh...I gotta go...see ya tomorrow CC. Bye Anne," Mistikal said as left for the Hufflepuff house.
Just then Madam Pomfrey came in and said,
"Anne and CC need some rest now. All of you should go back to your common rooms. And CC you can leave in the morning, because I think your pretty much fully recovered. Anne, I think you may be able to leave too, but we'll have to see in the morning. Now everyone chop, chop, up to your common rooms."
So CC laid down hoping that Tom was gone, and this all would be really over. Madam Pomfrey then gave both of them some of that potion for dreamless sleep. She took the golden goblet, gulped it down, turned over, and fell asleep, only to awake1 the next morning.
"Man am I tired" Mistikal said to himself as he climbed the stairs to his dormitory. He finally reached his bed and totally collapsed on it immediately. He fell asleep right away.
"Hahaha!!! You think you are saf, but mark my words, I will get all of the elements and destroy whole world.... Hahaha!!!"
"Whose voice is that?" thought Mistikal in his dream. "It has to be Tom's, but how can he visit me in his dreams? Wait, I remember Anne telling me about how Tom visited her in her sleep. Maybe he is doing it to me. I know that it weakens her...so he waits until we are weak from the day to finish us off. But...it just doesn't seem right. But then again, not many things are logical."
Suddenly horrible visions about what could happen to the world, to anyone and everyone and everything and anything filled Mistikal's mind, and he knew that he was weakening. Tom was taking effect on him. But why never before?
"I might never live to know" Mistikal said to himself. As he slowly woke up, shivering and sweating. So this was what it felt like to be nearly scared to death.
As if his memory was more open all of a sudden, Mistikal could remember this happening more than one time. It had happened ever since Tom knew who he was. For some reason, Tom had either forgotten him, or he had temporarily erased Mistikal's memory. But now Tom remembered. And Mistikal was not sure that he was happy that Tom now did remember. Mistikal sat up in bed breathing rapidly, for in every direction he looked, he thought that Tom was lurking around the corner. He couldn't help the fact that he seemed insane. But no matter what anyone would do, he knew that this was a permanent effect. And it would not go away until Tom was dead. For good. But that was not going to happen, because Tom was going to Azkaban. And he wouldn't die. He would escape. And destroy the world. Yet Mistikal could do nothing about it. Not him alone that is, because they need the 4 elements that Tom doesn't have to unit and destroy Tom. But in his state, what could he, Metal even do?
Mistikal was scared of Tom lurking around a corner, yet he and the others had to face Tom directly. He wasn't sure that he could do it.
Mistikal slowly got up and stumbled over to his barn owl and scrawled a note to Tom:
Why are you doing this? To destroy the world, or what? Because I can't take it anymore. If you try to turn me to your side, I will destroy myself, and you will never win. And just so you know, I am crazy. So much as one measly attempt will destroy your chances for domination of the metal element.
Goodbye, Mistikal.
After the letter was written, Mistikal tied it to his owl's leg and sent it off. He lay back down but could not sleep; he just lay there, shaking until morning. As he saw the dawn's early light, he slowly and stumbling went to the Hospital Wing to ask Anne some questions. But once he got outside of the Hufflepuff hidden house entrance, he collapsed on the ground and lost consciousness.
Anne took the goblet out of madam Pomfrey's hands. The room was getting empty as everyone was leaving by the orders of the Headmistress.
Now she was alone in the room. CC was already asleep in the bed next to her. Anne looked at the goblet.
'Dreamless sleep?' she said with deep sarcasm. 'The last time I had that was when I was 12.'
She drank the goblet, put it on the bedside table and lay down into her bed.
She stared at the ceiling thinking about all the happy people who didn't have her life.
'No one has my kind of life,' was the last thing she thought about when falling asleep.
She had an uncomfortable sleep. She didn't dream, but in her sleep she could feel something was wrong.
Suddenly she woke and knew what was wrong.
It was Tom. He turned towards Metal now.
Mistikal's thoughts and emotions were so strong now that she could not only feel them but actually hear them.
He thinks he's going crazy. She had to stop him! She had to help him! She was the only one who knew what to do!
'Come here, come to the Hospital Wing, Come here!' she thought trying to send her thoughts to him.
Finally she could feel it work. He was trying to get here. But Tom had weakened him. He couldn't walk.
Anne could feel herself panic. She had to do something!
Then it hit her. Let him know there's someone there.
She concentrated hard again. She tried to send all of her Fire and heat towards him. She could feel it succeed.
Moreover, she could see it. She could sethe flames surround him; she could see the hot air lift him up as if he was nothing more than a feather. She could feel him 'drinking' her energy.
'If I can get him here everything is going to be all right,' she thought. 'If anyone tries to interfere we're both lost.'
She tried not to think aboutthat, but only concentrate on getting Mistikal to the Hospital Wing. She didn't even notice small flames coming out of the tips of her fingers.
In another part of the castle Marsea, Draco, and Todd were walking down the corridor to the Slytherin Common Room.
Todd had mentioned something about getting back at Crono.
Marsea looked at him. "There's nothing I want more than seeing him beaten down, Todd. But don't do anything too drastic, cause in the end it means my head if Slytherin gets in trouble." Marsea smiled.
"I think you'll like being in Slytherin," she said. "It's much more fun than the others."
Draco turned to Todd "We're not really very supervised." he smiled. "And our House is great." he lowered his voice, and Marsea could barely hear what he was saying. "I wanna show you a great secret passage my dad told me about. It goes right into the g-"
"I know about it," said Marsea quickly. "You don't have to whisper."
Malfoy grinned. "It goes from under my bed right into the Girls Dormitory."
Marsea smiled again, looking at Draco. Then turned to Todd. "Last year. Draco and some of the guys pulled a pretty mean prank on Millicent Bulstrode. They bewitched her toothpaste so that when she brushed her teeth they turned green. She had to go through a whole day of school with her teeth all Slytherin-colored." she giggled.
Malfoy grinned broadly. "And we had double potions that afternoon, with Potter."
"She has a huge crush on him," said Marsea. "You should have seen her face! She never even found out it was him" she pointed at Malfoy. "But I knew, cause he." she stopped, her face flushing. "Uh, never mind." she began to walk quickly.
They had escorted Todd to the Slytherin Common Room, and Draco had shown him to the Boys' Dormitory.
Marsea had seated herself in the middle of the Common Room, wondering why no one was there.
"It must be nearly 3AM," she thought, sighing. She wasn't tired.
Shortly, Draco came sauntering out of the Dormitory. Marsea looked up.
"How's Todd doing?" she asked.
"He fell asleep already" answered Draco. "It's weird though, I'm not tired."
"Me either." said Marsea, looking around. She closed her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a searing pain in the back of her head. She tried to open her eyes, but couldn't. All she could see was. Flames. She could faintly make out a boy's face. "It's Mistikal," she thought. She then saw a girl with fingertips ablaze. She could see so much fire; it was hurting her head to think of it. So much fire...
She sat up with a start. Draco was leaning over her, touching her hair. He looked very scared.
"Marsea," he stammered. "Wha - what happened to you. You were shaking, and it got so cold in here, I could see my breath."
Marsea shuddered. She had never had dreams like these before, not since her Mother had died. She felt cold, remembering the strange nightmares she had had shortly after her mother's death. Fire and Ice had been all she had dreamed. Her mother's death had been hard on her, she had cried day and night for months and suddenly had stopped. After that, Marsea had vowed never to show emotion again. She had become cold, cruel. Determined only to achieve the power she deserved the power that should have been hers long ago.
But she had shown emotion recently. She had felt rage, love, and hate. Death had brought her emotions back, and with these emotions returned the nightmares.
Todd went to his room and went right to sleep. 5 minutes later he's tossing and turning.
In his dream, someone spoke to him. "Tttoooddd."
"What!?" Todd answered. "WHO'S THERE?!"
"It's me Todd, your father."
"My father's dead. Get out of my head!"
That's where you're wron. I'm very much alive... now."
"Oh yea, then who are you?"
"All in time, all in t. Hahaha!"
Todd woke up in a cold sweat, shaking all over.
Todd's stomach growled.
"Man, I haven't had anything to eat all day," he said. "Maybe they have a kitchen around here or something."
Todd left the common room and started roaming the halls, making sure no one found him, hiding behind statues when he heard a noise. Todd suddenly saw a student floating towards the hospital wing. Todd started following the person to see what was happening.
Liz awoke suddenly not able to sleep and went to get a glass of milk from the kitchen. Then she saw some one, maybe a Hufflepuff, floating on flames, another guy following him.
"Is he controlling him?" She thought. She ran back to the Ravenclaw common room to get her wand. Just in case. Then she followed them.
After Vanessa and the Headmistress had gotten off the Hogwarts grounds, they disapparated and apparated at the Azkaban doors. They opened at once and they walked inside with Tom behind them. The wizard at the door greeted them and asked how he could help.
"Well, we have here Tom," said Headmistress Stone. "Well, he has the element of ice & water and has killed two of my students, Marsea Brooklyn and Draco Malfoy. So I am turning him over to you and please let me stay to make sure he is taken care of right. He is under my control right now. And I don't know how you would keep him in a cell with his powers. He might escape. So if you would let us in, by the way this is Vanessa Bolt from the ministry of magic who knows that he belongs here. She is in the department that helps decide if people should stay here or not. And you can ask her if you want, but I know that she thinks he should stay here. He will keep killing off my students if he is set free, or if he escapes. So let's go in and deal with this, shall we?"
"Yes, Miss Stone. Right this way."
She, Vanessa and Tom went in to settle it all. They went to a type of courtroom, and set the date for Tom's trial; they were to keep him in a special cell where he wouldn't be able to escape, even with his powers. So Vanessa and Headmistress Stone left and headed back to Hogwarts where they would spend a few days there and then go to the trial.
"The press will have hay day with this," said Vanessa. "Have you told Draco's and Marsea's parents yet? Howlers will probably come pouring in." Vanessa sighed then noticed an owl flying past. "That's odd. That owl looks like it's heading for Azkaban."
Anne concentrated harder and harder. She could sense people coming near Mistikal. She had to do something to protect their connection.
A little more power into it and she surrounded him, and without noticing all the other elements, with fire. That meant no one could get near them and nothing could hurt them.
She continued to pull Mistikal towards her.
After some time she saw flames start to eat the Hospital Wing's doors and after about 2 minutes they were ashes and Mistikal floated in.
Anne released him on a bed and collapsed into hers.
She was only half a wake when she realized what she has done. Not only that she pulled Mistikal towards herself, she pulled all of the elements together. She had also provided them protection.
Her tired mind reached a late conclusion- Tom could be out of Azkaban!
She sat up in her bed. She had to tell the Headmistress!
Todd felt the flames around the guy suddenly get hotter. He dropped back but continued to follow. He saw the student go into the hospital wing. He followed.
Mistikal was slowly feeling like he was floating.
"Oh no. Tom has got me and he is getting me away. What's this? Flames...it's Anne!" he thought.
Mistikal suddenly sat up in his bed. "Where am I? Anne? Is that you? Thank you for saving me!" Mistikal said all at once and fell back on his bed.
"Man am I tired," he said as he dozed off again.
That morning CC woke up and thought. "Wow, that was the best sleep I've ever gotten, maybe I should get more of that potion from Madam Pomfrey!"
Then she got out of bed because Madam Pomfrey had said she could go the next morning when she saw Mistikal floating in through the doorway of the hospital wing. There was fire all over the place and she was gettinconfused about what was happening. It sounded like Mistikal had just thanked Anne for saving his life!! "Where was I when this happened??" she thought to herself.
Then she saw Anne sitting up in bed.
CC said, "Anne, what's wrong??"
Anne said, "I think that I pulled all of the elements together I was saving Mistikal. But this also means that Tom could be out of Azkaban now! I have to tell the Headmistress!"
So she said, "Do you want me to get her? I need to get my wand back still anyway."
Anne turned to CC.
'Yes,' she said. 'Please call the Headmistress.
'And - em - Madam Pomfrey too. I don't think Mistikal is in a - er - good condition.'
CC turned to go, but Anne stopped her again.
'Tell her that I might have 'saved' Tom from Azkaban, all right?'
She nodded and went away.
Anne lied down on her bed, closing her eyes.
She of course knew what's coming-
'Thank you, dear,' said Tom in her head. 'Like always, you save my life.'
'Oh, for crying out loud, Tom,' Anne said. 'You know it was an accident.'
He smiled. 'Was it?' he said. 'You're that sure that you wouldn't have saved me otherwise?'
He took a step towards her. They were standing so close now they had no space between them.
Like always, Anne couldn't move.
'You & me,' he whispered. 'We're special. Not like others. Not even like the other elements.
'You know it as well as me. And, like me, you know how this is going to end.'
He paused.
'You know you'll give up.'
And he faded. It was the first dream in a while that didn't make her jump.
She slowly sat up in her bed.
"Uhhhhhhhh. What happened?" Mistikal asked as he tried to sit up. But his head was really hurting so he just relaxed. "Um Anne, are you still here?" Mistikal asked out loud. "Because if you are, there is something that I need to tell you. It is really urgent!" Mistikal said out loud and shut up.
Daunte woke with a start. He wiped the cold sweat from his face. It was only a dream. Or was it? Could he have seen what was to come? But if Tom had escaped Azkaban, why wouldn't he have attacked Daunte, instead of just lying on the couch?
He walked down the halls, when he met Draco.
"Draco, I just had this dream that Tom escaped Azkaban, and I went to kill him and he was lying on the couch when something hit me and I woke up. What does it mean?"
"I don't know," replied Draco. "Maybe Marsea knows. We should ask her.
"Ok."
They ran to find Marsea. They turned the corner, when they ran into the Headmistress.
"Sorry, Headmistress," Daunte said. "We were looking for Marsea."
"Why?"
"I had this really weird dream, like Tom escaped form Azkaban, but he was sitting on the couch of the common room, and I tried to kill him, but something hit me."
"Let's go find Marsea. She may have the only answer."
