A Portkey Amongst the Trophies? -continued- [Tag: Aimee, Scarlet, Aurora, Jason, Akasha, Todd and Moses]

Aimee took the chance to defend Moses since he had defended her and she was no longer afraid of the peculiar noise, animals she could deal with easier than humans anyway. Stepping forward closer to Jason and away from Moses and Scarlet, he hair turned red again. "Don't! He is only trying to make light of the situation, what good does it do anyone to argue?" She frowned at his attitude and the fact he had insulted Moses.

Scarlet looked at Aimee when she walked to Jason. She walked behind her a bit, wanting to stop her..What if the man would hurt her due to his anger. She bit her lip, "A-Aimee.."

Aimee just shook her head and stepped forward a little as her hair grew a deeper red, she couldn't draw her attention off of Jason, he was frustrating her and she couldn't believe he had the nerve to be so rude to others. "Scarlet, I'm alright," She smiled back at her. "It's just not ... right." She looked back at Jason with anger. "Do you think your bigger than everyone else? Do you think it's okay to be mean to others? In this sort of situation? Because it isn't!" Her voice rose, she could feel herself getting emotional and she tried to be calm but everytime she tried, Jason wound her back up.

Moses frowned as Jason directed his anger at him. Of course, mister uptight would reject jokes. He opened his mouth to say something, but closed it as Aimee walked over to the other and... scold? him. "Joking is a little better than being stressed out in this kind of situation." he explained. "You can't think straight with all this tension." At least, he couldn't. it bugged the crap out of him.

As Scarlet tried to get Aimee to calm down and back off, Moses began to relax a little. Only to tense up when the HufflePuff girl continued to chew the other out. Frowning deeply, Moses finally couldn't take it. "Everyone just- essere tranquilla per favore!(be quiet please!)" he hollered, closing his eyes and massaging his temples. "Too much tension. Too much negativity." he said as he opened his eyes again. he looked over at Aimee before speaking again. "Aimee, thank you for defending me, but please. Now is no time to argue si?"

He then looked over at the furious Slytheirn. "And you, quick snapping at everybody! You keep treating as all like we're idiota but you aren't exactly showing much genius either. Get off your high horse and calm down for merlin's sake." he said, snapping a little. He really just couldn't take this anymore.

Aimee nodded, understanding Moses' intentions, she hadn't wanted to argue but she couldn't help defending her friends. "What I really need is just for him to be quiet," Aimee sighed and rolled her eyes at Jason before temptation rose over her and she grinned. "Silencio!" She whispered and aimed the spell directly at Jason. That should do it! No more irritable comments from him and hopefully it may draw a smile from the others.

Jason began to speak before he felt his voice just...

Gone.

that was the last straw. He didn't need his voice to growl animalistically at her. He seemed like a moment where the world was suddenly brighter, smelled clearer, sounded louder, felt more... more powerful as it pressed around him. He let out a largely loud roar and he took his paw and batted Aimee away from in front of him. she was a disgusting human, the world would be better off without her. He moved forward, he was large. Ten feet of pure muscle and raging anger. That could do some damage.

Scarlet's eyes widened when Moses and Aimee insulted and silenced the man. Her eyes then widened more as she saw the man turn into a tiger. She backed up, before screaming when he attacked Aimee, "Aimee!" She shrieked. Scarlet then looked back at him as she backed up more and turned around, running off. She didn't want be near him anymore. She had to get away.

Aimee felt her arm crack a little as the claws seared her arm and chest, she gasped and collapsed on the floor, her face contorted with pain, she was losing some blood and felt herself slipping in and out of consciousness. It was Scarlet's shriek that brought her back to reality for a moment, seeing her blurred figure begin to run. "D---Dont----Stay----Still----Scarlet!----" Aimee managed to shout, knowing creatures well. The shout used the last of her energy, she passed out bleeding on the forest floor.

Todd's eyes doubled in size and he took out his wand. A shocked yell escaped him when Jason turned into a tiger, of all things to be at the moment. Fear and anger bubbled up inside him, mixing into something sharp and cold. He rushed forward, pointing his wand at the beast. "Dude, if there's still some human mind in there, it better calm down or I'll stupify your arse!" He heard Scarlet shriek somewhere behind him and heard footfalls going in the opposite direction. He could only hope she didn't get herself killed.

His eyes clicked to wear Aimee lay on the forest floor. Horror creeped up inside him at the sight of her blood all around her. Her eyes were closed, but he could see her chest going up and down with each breath, so at least they knew she was alive. He'd have to trust Moses or Aurora to check on her.

Jason looked at Todd, before the tiger's eyes flickered to the retreating figure of Scarlet, there was a low set growl that rumbled through him as he quickly chased after her. He quickly caught up and pounced on the girl. His paws were placed on her shoulders as he growled into her. He poised one of his paws in the air to beat her face, claws extended. He paused, for moment. He knew it was wrong but by God the urge to continue with the action was... thrilling. It was egging him on.

Scarlet's screamed a blood curling scream, her eyes looking up at the man in horror. She then screamed more when he raised his paws to attack her, "HELP!!!!" She screamed as she couldn't get away from him.

Moses opened his mouth to protest, thinking silencing the other was too far, when suddenly Jason began to change. Dark eyes widened as a tiger too his place, growling silently with rage and power. Shit, he's an animagus! he thought before he saw a mighty paw swing at Aimee. As if in slow motion, he watched her body fly to the side, blood seeping out of the newly formed wound. "AIMEE!" he yelled out, his eyes wide with shock and fear.

He vaguely noticed the tiger running as his own body moved towards the fallen girl. When he heard a shriek of terror, he turned his gaze to see Scarlet on the ground with the tiger on top of her. Shit he thought as he took out his wand. "Stupify!" he yelled out, waving his wand at the tiger as a red light left his wand and sot out.

Moses's arm shook with fear and rage at all that transpired, but he tried to make his mind focus. Todd was there, he would help handle Jason the tiger and scarlet. There was still Aimee. Aimee was hurt. Shit I'm no good at healing spells he thought as he looked at her form. "Aimee. Aimee wake up." he said, his voice breaking as he felt tears well up in his eyes. His friend was hurt, and he felt so powerless.

Jason felt his body tense he was stunned. He let out a loud rumble of a growl in his chest. But, he felt the rage and anger he felt bubble down to a simmer, he was still angry but not as much. He didn't just see red-rage any longer. He could think..

What had he done?

Todd rushed forward, shoving the stupified tiger off of Scarlet with all of his might. He glanced down at her, eyes checking for any wounds. "Y-you okay?" he breathed, struggling to regain regular breathing patterns. His adrenaline was still off the walls. He couldn't even bring himself to look at the huge tiger - he didn't trust himself not to do something bad to Jason while he was helpless like that. He'd just attacked two - two - people in his animal form. Disgust at his actions filled him to the brim.

Scarlet was shaking as the tears silently fell down her eyes, "I...I..." She couldn't even speak right..only shaking her head no.

Off in the distance, Akasha walked calmy through the forest, avoiding the random branch now and then, and growling playfully at creatures that wanted to scare her. She felt...at peace. An effect which happened when ever she was in the forest by herself. This time she wasn't by herself, but still, she doubted anythng would happen to them as long as they followed her instructions...

For a few minutes, she continued down the road, humming to herself, but then she heard the roar. And the Shreik. And the cry for help. She glared in the direction of the sounds. "For fucks sake, can't you humans obey two simple rules!?" SHe yelled. causing the birds in the trees to fly away swiftly.

In an instant, she was back with the others,and the new scene disturbed her, the blonde triplet on the groud wounded, Scarlet on the ground being aided by the red headed boy, and Jason Todd who she smelled in a stupefied tiger form. 'What the he- I was gone for 20 minutes!'

She snarled, her eyes tinting red in anger. Looking around at the others, she demanded loudly, "What the fuck happened here?! I was gone for twenty minutes! Are you people so panicked and fucking scared that you can't sit and be patient for twenty fucking minutes?!" She ended with a shreik, once again causing the birds in the trees to fly away." Someone explain to me what happened right now." She growled lowly, glaring at the all.

Todd narrowed his eyes at Akasha, slightly unnerved by her blaming the whole group for Jason picking a fight. "Stripes here lost his cool and started going jackshit crazy, that's what!" he exclaimed, gesturing to the two blondes on the ground. "Totally blew his fuse and starting rampaging around."

Akasha's angry gaze swiveled on the parylyzed tiger on the ground, her eyes now completely red. She stalked over to the enormous being, and waved her hand over him while muttering a spell and the parylyzation spell was gone.

She raised the animagus up in front of her so that he could see the anger in her now red eyes. She glared at him with all the anger she had, "Did you cause of all this, Todd?" She whispered dangerously calm. "Hmm? Because if you did, you are in a shit load of trouble once we get out of here. Oh, did you hear what I just said? Once we get out of here! Not before we leave, or during our stay, AFTER! So whatever stupid bullshit pissed you off enough to transform and harm two innocents, you need to get over, and fast! Anger and tension between us will only get us killed, do you understand me, boy?"

She didn't wait for an answer, but acknowledged the whole group, while still glaring at Todd, " I found a path not long from here. It seems we're deep in the forest, but thankfuly the path leads somewhere to the middle. I don't know about you all, but if being in the middle is as cloe as I get ot gettng out, then I'm taking it. So I need every to calm down!" She looked at them all sternly "Calm your emotions before we leave, because the creatures in this forest are treacherous and can smell fear. They will take out anyone showing immense fear. So as soon as everyone calms down, we're moving out. Understood?"

[WE NOW HAVE AN ORDER :3 Which is the one in the title above <3 Since Akasha was the last person to post, it is now Todd's turn, then Moses, then Aimee (But she's currently unconscious so skip her for now), then Scarlet, Aurora, Jason and back to Akasha. Hopefully this will keep you all posting! ]

((I'm going to assume by 'Todd' Akasha meant Jason Todd?))

Todd pursed his lips, watching as Akasha screamed at Jason. He wasn't sure exactly how he felt about either of them, but he knew the Slytherin was getting at least some of what he deserved. "Someone'll need to carry Aimee for now. Moses?" he asked, hoping he wasn't being to forward in assuming Moses would help out.

He glanced in the direction she said her path was, and contemplated the logic in that. If they were near Hogwarts, they'd be going away from it, but at least they'd have an idea of where they were if they found a middle. Whatever the situation, they'd at least be in better shape once they knew they stood.

He nodded, gesturing towards the trees. "Okay, if you're sure. Lead the way," he said. He hoped the creatures in the forest couldn't smell anger, or else they'd all be in danger. As if they weren't already.

Scarlet froze when she heard Akasha yelling at the man who attacked her in his tiger form. She slowly sat up as she was still shaking, and was trying to regain her calm feature..But she couldn't she had almost been injured by that man. She looked down as she didn't like him very much now..But she also knew he was frustrated and was angry, but it would take a while for her to actually be able to talk to him like he was a human.

Scarlet got up as she did not speak once again, nodding to Akasha, before looking at Aimee..She could probably use a healing spell on her, but she couldn't focus. And that would mean she would end up hurting her more.

Moses flinched as Akasha spoke, now taking in that she was there at all. His focus had been on the unconscious Aimee. The poor blonde girl looking more pale from the blood loss. Blood loss. "Aimee is bleeding badly!" he spoke out, his voice cracking. "I can't stop it." He looked up, looking at the others with a pained expression. "Can any of you?' he asked as he held the girl close. He vaguely recalled someone saying something about caring her. He would do it. But her wounds needed to be treated. Quickly.


(I know she isn't that badly injured. it just looks like that to him and his stressed/freaked brain atm. Someone jsut needs to heal her and tell him it isn't as bad as it looks)

Aurora watched the whole scene unfold as everything just became worse and worse. She raised an eyebrow as this woman who she has seen in the train throwing threads towards Jason. ''Hold up there my dear. No need to cause worse than already has happened.''
She said as she raised an eyebrow. ''Besides, Who has put you on the leader ship in the first place? Instead of commanding us like sheep's you can look at the other girls who are wounded? I am going to look how Jason is doing..Because I know how to care for others. '' Without even waiting for an answer to that as she walked towards Jason. ''Jason are you okay dear?''

Jason let out a half hearted growl as his chest rose and fell on the ground. He didn't bother turning human right now. He knew what he had done. He deserved the yelling, the hate he could smell coming from the people. Except from Aurora. She wasn't scared?

Jason tried to lift his head but it fell back to Earth a few moments later. He was tired but that usually was the way he felt after changing in rage. He should have had more control over the situation. He really should have.

Akasha raised an eyebrow at the blonde girl. She had the sudden urge do something violent to her, but she kept her horrible temper in check. Instead, she said calmly, "Well, Ms. Scrimgeour, I'm not the 'leader' as you say, but one would think it'd be logical to have the person with the most expirience and knowledge of the forest to 'lead'. " She made quatation marks in the air. Sh never liked to lead others, because being responsible for other people, especially humans, was never her cup of tea.

She walked towards Aimee, who she heard whimpering softly, "You say you care for others, and yet you went to help someone of your own house, instead of helping the person who is truly injured." She glanced at the ministers daughter. "Oh yes 'my dear' , very caring indeed."

She knelt down next down next to Moses and studied Aimees wound with calculating eyes. She game Moses a warm smile and said, "She's fine, it's nothing too serious. Here, I can stop the blood flow, but I can't heal the wound completely." She took her crystal off of her neck, and placed the stone on the broken flesh, muttering incantations. Aimees arm glowed for a brief second, before it went back to normal, and her wound stopped bleeding. She grinned to herself, 'Damn, I'm good!'

She stood up and placed her necklace back around her neck, "I think you'll have to carry her, Vargas, since she knows you the best."
