An: YAAY! Thanks sm-ellie!! My first "I want more!" review! Anywhoo, to my one and only reviewer, thankies loads.
Also, a message to kimi-kins: "NYERRRRRR" grin.
Disclaimer: If I owned them, do you –really- think id be sitting in a moth-eaten swivel chair and typing down all my latest works whilst staring vacantly out the smudged window?!!
Actually…
Hi my names Jo!!
Naah; just kidding.
Voldie's acq: Aea.
Aea struggled, the skin on her bound hands becoming more and more soar. How on Earth had she been so stupid! She would never have forgiven herself if Lyra hadn't gotten away.
A squeak; scurrying footsteps of a murtlap heading for more damp.
An overhead vent creaked and scraped.
The ceiling dripped its response.
"Aea! Aea it's me, Lyra!" A voice whispered from somewhere high above.
"What are you doing? You'll get caught!" Aea groaned, twisting around in the splinter infested chair to face her little sister.
"No; I'm going to get you out! "Tollo oculos obligo". She muttered.
Aea's blindfold contracted then fell to the floor, where what looked like a Pogrébin scuttled forward, snatched the tattered cloth and fled from view.
She blinked a few times then looked up to see the smiling face of her sister.
A sudden thought occurred to her.
"Take the salmo-rideo from me, or He will have it, and we will fail."
A scrape echoed through the prison, then a mutter and a gasp.
Aea felt a weight lift from her most inner pocket and saw a glint of moldy light shine upon her most precious possession as it flew up to the overhead vent and safety.
A clink of glass echoed through the prison.
"Got it." Lyra whispered.
"Good. You must go now. You know He will sense you before long."
A door slammed somewhere close by.
"Go! Now!" Aea whispered desperately.
"I shall never forget…" Lyra muttered.
"…Nor will I want to."
A key scraped the lock.
The vent creaked and Lyra was gone.
Soft footfalls made Aea look towards the doorway.
One tall, thin shadow flanked on both sides by two of His minions.
"Search her." Came a hiss from somewhere inside the depths of His hood.
The two obediently lumbered forward, pulling her roughly from the chair; making her wince in pain. They searched thoroughly; found nothing, then traipsed clumsily back to their master.
A murmur was shared.
"Very well, you may go." came the cruel whisper sharply.
A smirk planted itself firmly on Aea's mouth.
His eyes flashed dangerously.
The two left.
A door slammed.
Silence.
Aea glared into the scarlet eyes, which glowed, penetratingly,in the utter darkness.
She felt something serpentine trying to awaken in her mind.
You are –not- going to control me! I shall not allow it! I forbid it! Her mind screeched to the snake.
It winced and left.
He took a step backwards as though pushed.
Aea's smirk grew slightly.
"Your worthless life is nothing to me. Tell me where It is and I shall spare it."
The hiss was full of annoyance.
Aea laughed coldly.
"Don't you know? I am certain you have sensed her, otherwise you wouldn't have come so quickly, I'm sure." She trailed off, leaving him to his own conclusion.
After a few moments of drip-filled silence, He growled.
"So; I was correct. One of your associates has crept into my domus and taken it from me. I should have been more careful." He spoke, more to himself than to her.
"Very well. Not that it matters. We shall have to think of another way."
He took out his wand as he spoke.
Aea's blood froze; a resigned look on her face.
He twirled his wand idly in his long fingers, a look of great satisfaction upon his lipless mouth.
He muttered something.
Her senses were utterly obliterated by green light apart from a pair of scarlet eyes penetrating the light.
Her body slumped, lifelessin the chair.
His cloak billowed slightly as he left.
