Escape!

[escape_x]

Jacob turned to look at Willow, climbing to his feet. A frown had formed on his face as she muttered nonsense about her coming back. She wanted him to stay here? What was happening? He arched an eyebrow, hicupping quietly. "Where are you going?" He snorted, glancing up at the shack. Note to self; don't return to this place. It was a dreary dump. Not a place where one would like to get drunk. He sighed and waved his hand, passing her statement away. Whatever she was determined to.. do.. he'd go with her. It was the gentleman thing to do.

When she pulled her wand out, he instinctevly drew his wand out. He wasn't sure if she was going to do something to him or if she was going else where to fight invisible monsters. He stared at her for a moment, sobering up a bit. "What are you planning on doing?" He arched an eyebrow, clutching his wand.

"Listen to me, you don't know me." Willow frowned looking stressed out. "Stay put." She walked past him and walked into the shack walking up the stairs slowly. When she turned the corner she waited steady on her feet. She smiled feeling the all to common chill of the Neomanets. Willow braced herself bargging into the room. A talk dark figure stepped out of the shadow, three more followed behind him. "Well well, hello princess." He bowed his head and step forwards his large claw like hand at his side.

"You shouldn't be out alone at night." He snickered and moved closer to her. Willow laughed "Oh come of it Ari, You never win." She waved her wand so the man was rooted to the spot. Ari growled "Princess half the Neomanters are after you, there's a bounty on your head. The king himself has put a bounty on your head to see your dead before the eclipse." Willow nodded "Well the Neomanters have always wanted me dead. I'm not afraid." The man snickered "You should be, we have your sister. The older twins are both dead." Willow froze loosing her cool slightly "Lies."

Jacob rolled his eyes at her comment. He had to stop that; rolling his eyes was such a feminine trait. One he had picked up from Charlotte. He tucked his wand back into his jacket sleeve, turning his back on her and wondering back to the little pile of rocks he'd been sitting on with a heavy sigh. No, he didn't know her. But he might of given the chance. Might of.. He drew his knees up to his chest, yawning. The alcohol was starting to make him sleepy. He was actually beginning to drift into a small slumber when he heard voices upstairs. His eyes flew open and he growled quietly, taking out his wand.

Jacob crept quietly up the stairs, making sure to position himself out of sight from those who were in the room. The air was chillier up here. A shiver ran down his spine as he found a stair to sit on, trying to ignore the fact he was sitting in an inch of filth. He strained to hear the conversation that was taking place, none of it making sense. There was a males voice though. He scowled, clutching his wand tighter.

[Carly]

"Oh princess if only you knew." Ari laughed and took a step closer breaking her curse. Quickly he draw his hand across her face. The claws digging in left blood marks. Willow scolded and kicked him in the chest so Ari fell to his knees. The other two advanced forwards. Willow grinned "Try your luck boys." She ran her hand through her hair and braced herself wiping blood from her face.

Ari growled "Bad move princess." Willow shook her head leaning against the wall. "I think it was a good move." Willow sighed "If it helps I'll just give up the throne just stop trying to kill my family." Ari laughed "Well I still have reason to kill you sweet heart. The bounty on your head is pretty big."

[escape_x]

Jacob stared blankly at the filthy railing of the stairs, his mind racing with thoughts. Princess? He tried not to laugh. This situation wasn't funny in the least, so he had no idea why he was about to laugh. He held it in though. When there were a few loud noises from the room, like the thump, he took the chance and crawled up the stairs where he saw Willow, and a room full of other strange men. He watched her wipe blood off her face and he frowned, clutching his wand. He was in distance where he could easily kill those surronding her, but her being a Slytherin, he was sure she knew those killing curses as well.

He told himself he wouldn't do anything; he wouldn't shoot any spells at anyone. This wasn't his battle. He knew nothing about these people. He was about to crawl down the stairs when he heard something about a bounty on her head. That was when Jacob snapped. Carefully aiming his wand, he performed his favorite thing; a silent curse. 'Avada Kedavra' he uttered in his head. A green jet shot from the tip of his wand, hitting one of the apparent leader's henchmen straight in the chest. His heart started beating faster; it had been very..very long since he had used that. He stared at the falling body, time suddenly slowing down. He thought about getting up and moving, but his body just laid glued to the floor.

[Carly]

Willow looked around pure fear hitting her face. She ran infront of the door and turned to face the other two men. "Jacob leave please." she growled and kicked high as one of the men advanced. Catching him straight on chin he fell to the floor dead. Willow looked at the last man and ducked from one of his curses. She hopped down on the stairs. Willow fired one of her own curses screaming "Avada Kedavra." The man toppled down. She turned down the steps and grabbed Jacobs hand.

"Let's get out of here. I'll explain in a minute, we're not safe outside." The alcohol still in the system she slipped down the stairs and caught her blanace before falling properly. She kept moving not looking back once. Jacob had come even when she'd told him not too. Why? Because he cared or because he heard the commosion and just wanted some fun.

[escape_x]

[ I just realized what time it was.
And I have to go D;
I shall reply later today. ]

[Carly]

[Haha, okay see you.]

[escape_x]

Jacob continued to stare at the man for what seemed like hours after he had fell. His heart felt like it was up in his throat, pounding away. Rapidly at that. When Willow spoke to him at first, asking him to leave, her voice sounded very faint; distant. When she screamed the killing spell though Jacob was brought back to reality. He jumped to his feet, his wand at the ready. That was until she grabbed his hand. Scowling, he ran down the stairs after her. The alcohol was still in her system; he could tell by the way she stumbled down the stairs. He wasn't the most nimble of his feet either, but he could sober up fairly quickly when the situated presented it. It was from years of drinking probably. Plus she had had at least two more than he had managed to drink.

"You'd better." He growled, glancing over his shoulder. He wanted to go back and kill some more. He wanted to take their lives; how dare they gang up on one person like that. Especially a girl. Jacob was a bad guy most of the time, yeah. But ganging up like that on one little innocent girl? Not happening. Plus he'd been looking for a good fight for a while. Now he could tell his Mummy he killed someone recently; she'd be pleased. Perhaps she would reward him. His Mother's rewards were always the best. Money. He shook those thoughts from his head, trying to focus on the current situation. He stopped running and yanked Willow back to stand still. "Think about my house." He muttered quietly, knowing she'd hear it. He closed his eyes and held her hand tightly, Apparating outside his little rundown house. He'd almost never been happier to see it. He pushed the door open, shoving Willow through the door first. He stepped inside and shut the door. He held his wand and flicked it a few times, obviously performing nonverbal incantations. When he was done, he shook his head and sat down on the couch, staring at Willow.

[Carly]

Willow sighed deeply a frown on her face. "I'm not exactly a full witch. I part os something else, a race called Fay. I'm a princess." She smirked slightly at her words. "A Princess of darkness. My family are royals of the night world. They control everything from the talking tigers and wolves to the vampires, werewolves and dragons." She looked at her feet not a single part of her wanted to look at him or see his reaction. After all he probably wouldn't want anything to do with her anymore. "I take my place rulling on the next eclipse. It's two days from now. Our enemy race, the Neomanters want me dead before then. They want to take over the night world."

She looked at him and quickly pulled her phone out dialing Jasons number remembering what Ari had said about Star and him being dead. She paced the floor nervously as the phone wrang out. Finally voice mail. She looked up at Jacob fear swollowing her hole. "I have to leve. Somethings wrong." She headed to the door."Jacob you'd be better not get any more involved with me. It will only put you and your family in danger." She sighed knowing that it may already be to late. She changed into her fox form then changed again. This time the fox grew a lot bigger, about the size of a bear. It's canines became eight inches long and her eyes lightening green, out of her back sprout two leather white wings which she tuck firmly at her sides. This was no fox, this was a winged wolf. She sat down waiting for Jacob to open the door for her so she didn't break through the wall.

[escape_x]

Halfway through her explanation, Jacob snorted quietly and stood up. He took the blanket from the couch and laid it across his bed, trying to block out what she was saying. He didn't want to hear this anymore; Jacob was.. intolerant of those whom were not pureblood. It wasn't anything personal; just how he was raised. He had been trying to change that belief for sometime, and boy had be gotten better. But this girls explanation; a race called Fay? He shook his head, folding the sheets back. He was cleaning to occupy himself. He held back his disgusted expression when she mentioned an enemy race; another race? He sighed and walked back over to the couch, untying his shoes. He wouldn't be going anywhere else tonight.

He pulled his shoes off gently and set them down while she attempted to connect with her siblings. He yawned and checked his watch. It wasn't even one yet. Well at least he'd be awake for work tomorrow. He glanced up at her when she said she had to leave-he waved his hand as a gesture of goodbye. He didn't want to say anything for fear nasty slurrs might poor out of his mouth. He watched her transform into a fox without surprise but when she changed again, he raised his eyebrows and stared at whatever she was. He wanted to kick it he was so angry. Jacob waited a minuet or so to see if she left but she sat down at stared at the door; like a stupid dog. He muttered and stood up, wrenching the door open only to slam it shut behind her. This was not the day he wanted. He took out his wand and took off the enchantments to his place so Andrew could find his way home. He walked slowly towards his bed where he changed into more comfortable clothes and laid down, not even tired. He sighed quietly and burried his face in the pillow.

[Carly]

Willow sighed as she heard the door slam at least now he would be safe. So now she had to get to the castle and take on half the Neomanter race if not all of them. Who'd help her? No one unless Grace was already there. The chances of them winning even with the two of them were next to zero. She'd never asked to be born what she was, infact only till a few days ago she hated it. Living her life in Hogwarts as a lie just something to do till she could take her place on the throne.

She forced herself to stop thinking about Jacob and concentrate on looking for her siblings. This fight was not going to be easy. She lept onto the ice and as it broke underneath her it's bone chilling water brought her back to attention. Swimming through the water she reached the other side and shook off. Her paw marks were clear in the snow, she only hoped no one would follow them back to Jacob's house. Thrusting herself forwards she jumped up onto and roof of a building and jumped from roof to roof as fast as she could.

[escape_x]

Jacob laid in the silence of his creaky house for what seemed like days, but it had only been a few minuets. Why was he so bummed about Willow leaving? Maybe his subconscious was craving human affection, which he tried to deny. But it was probably true. The idea nearly made him sick. He muttered something and sat up, shuffling towards the kitchen when the front door burst open and Andrew shuffled in, wasted. How did he manage to find his way home. Jacob watched Andrew walk towards the couch and fall down on it, laughing and muttering something about being ready for bed. He rolled his eyes and waved his hand, a blanket covering him up. Now that Andrew was back, perhaps it was time to put the enchantments back on. He thought for a moment, slipped his shoes and winter cloak back on and stepped outside the door. He waved his wand, putting heavy enchantments on it and then closed his eyes, apparating the nearest he could to Hogwarts. He was sure she would already be there.

He found himself just outside of Hogsmeade where he would have to run up to the castle. This should be interesting. A smoker and a runner. He sighed and started sprinting up the hill, surprising himself. He was still in fairly good condition and almost forgot how much he enjoyed running. He got to the gates of Hogwarts and stared in, knowing he couldn't pass unless a student from the inside opened them. Well he totally forgot about that. He thought about writing a quick letter to Charlotte, but would it reach her in time? He paced back and forth in the dark, trying to think of a plan.

[Carly]

Grace spotted Jacob and snortted. Back to steal his sister again was he. "What do you want?" She asked glearing out the gates towards Jacob. Her sister might of liked him but the rest of her family didn't besides it was forbidden. She sighed not waiting for an answer she opened the gates. "This better be good..." Of course Willow had already been to the castle and once she'd saw her sister was safe she darted off to the caves. She'd save Star and Jason or dying trying. She swore loudly and she turned into her human form and ducked into the shadows as a Neomancer almost spotted her. Silently she crept up behind them and broke his neck swifty.

(Sorry It's short I'll make it longer on my next post)

[escape_x]

Jacob stopped pacing when he heard a snort. Someone was outside. He grabbed the bars again and spotted who he assumed was Grace. He narrowed his eyes at her when she asked what he wanted. What did she think he wanted? To help Willow. He pushed through the gates when she unlocked them and raised an eyebrow, trying to say thank you. He always had a problem with manners. "Uh.. thanks." He finally managed to mutter. Jacob scanned the area quickly, feeling his senses we more alert now. "Where's Willow?" he glanced down at Grace.

He had no idea what was going on, or what he was supposed to do. He just knew that he had to help her. There was no way she could take on that many.. whatever they were without help. Why wasn't her sister helping her, anyways? All this was so confusing, but he had to keep persevering.
