Little Miss Misfits (Desirae) -- Level One

[Deleted]

She was up here for no particular reason if someone was to ask her.
She was just up here to be up here. To enjoy her time between classes with a friend. That was all.

Of course that was far from the truth. She was up here to see if there any mischief to make. The last time she had been up here outside of class time or an assignment that was due was when she had attacked that Ravenclaw boy. Oh that had been a marvelous night as far as she was concerned. No she hadn't taken him out but knowing the Unbreakable vow he was under--and seeing the fear of her in his eyes every time they crossed paths (which was in most of their classes actually)--it was like sugar to her. As twisted as that was -- it was just how she was. She could care less what his opinion of her was. She could care less of what anyone's opinion of her was really.

She was also looking for a way to see if she could take out her anger on something (or someone she was not picky here). She was not a happy Slytherin woman right now. Theo did not finish the job she had given him. he was supposed to have killed the charms professor for getting too close to the truth. Her truth! But did he? No! He must have chickened out when he heard the headmaster coming. Bah! She should have done the job herself darn it! And now they had to keep him under the Imperious Curse to make sure that he didn't talk about the incident. If it was her personally she would have used a memory charm on the fool -- but he was not she of course. Ohh she didn't know why she put up with him at all! His cockiness and better then thou attitude annoyed her fiercely. Of course she realized that this was the kettle calling the pot black here but at least she didn't flaunt it all around for everyone to see and here about.

Ahh but he had his muscles and he had his knowledge and he had his uses she supposed and so she supposed she would keep him around. For now. How long would that go on? Well only time would tell.

For now though she was walking alongside Desirae--and wondering what they were going to do today. But then she heard it--yelling and screaming. Oh what was this? She turned towards Desi with a 'let's go see' kind of face and she led the way as they got closer and closer to the commotion. They didn't get much further before she heard the explosion and felt the rumbling and saw the walls shaking.. "What in the...?" she was confused. What was this? What was going on? And why did she not know about this? Was someone planning and plotting without her? How dare they?!

"Let's go see if we can stir the waters some eh?" she asked her partner in crime unaware of the danger she was in--the both of them were in really.

Desi giggled her oh-so-innocent little giggle at Elaines words. "Clearly someone is throwing a temper tantrum. Should we loosen things up a bit?" she lifted her wand to the ceiling, muttering a little spell as she did. It would loosen the beams in the ceiling, making it more susceptible to collapsing. She grabbed Elaines arm and pulled her away from the exact area that she had targeted. "Now, I guess we should help him a long a bit," she muttered. She was worried about their safety, but mainly she just hoped that a small circle of ceiling would collapse and whoever was throwing a fit about would be the only one affected. Falling through the ceiling with wide eyes, it sounded hilarious!

Suddenly, however, she saw a blast from above and the floor started to crack. Her eyes widened and in a second she raised her wand "bombarda!" just helping the collapse along. She wasn't really prepared for how intense the person above hers attack was going to be, and a lot more of the ceiling fell around her than she was expecting. In an instant she was pushing Elaine behind her and shouting a shield charm into the air...

The Slytherin laughed softly, "Sounds like it." someone was having a temper tantrum up there indeed. She of course couldn't tell who was up there or who was having anger issues at the moment but that mattered little. Details like that did not matter to her. All that mattered was causing trouble They were the troublemakers that no one knew about. That no one suspected. And with all the hub bub going on above them--no one was suspect of them...helping out a little bit. She watched as her compatriot loosened up the beams in the ceiling--making it more likely to collapse in on itself. Elaine couldn't help but smirk at the trouble in the making. It would be rather entertaining if the person causing all the commotion upstairs fell through the floor and then was aghast with themselves. That look would have been priceless--she almost wished that it would happen just so that she could see that look.

Elaine froze for a moment as she stared at the ceiling with a concerned look on her face. Something wasn't quite right here. Didn't feel right rather. Something felt---dangerous about this. And not dangerous because of them dangerous. She felt like she herself was in physical danger. Ahh but she was being crazy. Paranoid even. It was just her being her and Desi being Desi. They caused trouble and mischief and mayhem -- that was all there was to it. She had never been worried or concerned before hand and so she had no reason to be this time either. She chuckled to herself--she was just being silly...

The floor began to crumble as as there was a blast from above. And Desi wasted no time in using a spell to help it along. Elaine was right behind her. "Deprimo!" the explosive spell hit home as one of the supporting pillars was blown to bits. Then came the trouble. Apprently the blast from above was way more powerful then they had thought. Elaine gasped as she realized that the floor above them was coming down as a result of the attack above and their attacks from below. She felt a sudden flash of fear as she was pushed back and she yelped as she tripped over an already fallen piece of the structure and grunted as she hit the ground. Things were still falling around her and she didn't have much time to react or to think before she felt an immense weight falling onto her and pinning her to the floor. She couldn't help but scream in surprise more then anything else as she threw her arms over her head to protect her brain and head from any hits.

Soon there was a moment of calm and it was in that calm that she came to a horrible realization. That immense weight was a piece of the ceiling and it had essentially pinned her to the ground from the waste down. She was so hopped on adrenaline that she wasn't sure yet if she was injured but she did know one thing -- she was trapped. Trapped like a rat in a maze. And with her wand in her robe pocket--she wasn't getting out of this by herself. She heard the ceiling crumble again and suddenly a genuinely terrifying thought came to mind. What if more of the ceiling fell down? Onto her? What if she got--buried alive? She gasped softly as panic overtook her and she fought to calm herself. No--no she was not scared. She was okay. She was going to be fine. But what about -- "Desi? Desi are you out there?" she said and she couldn't help the fear creeping into her tone. She did not want to get buried. She did not want to get buried. She wanted to get out of here...

Okay Elaine--breathe---breathe---you are going to be OK? All will be well?

Desi clearly passed out for a few moments because she didn't remember anything that happened in the last few minutes. Her eyes flickered open and she found herself pinned to the ground. Her entire right side was trapped while the rest of her body seemed to be functioning all right. She heard a voice beside her and turned, seeing Elaine pinned as well from the waist down. "Lainey?" she whimpered, her voice quivered as she spoke. She swallowed hard, coughing as she breathed out. "Hey, I'm going to get you out of this. Just... stay calm," she was having a hard time staying calm herself as she moved the best she could, trying to reach for her wand. "It's somewhere... just-are you okay? Can you move?" obviously Elaine couldn't move, but what else was Desi supposed to do?

"Got it!" she said, pulling her wand out of her robes and lifting it triumphantly into the air. 'Okay, okay. There's a possibility that the stone on top of you is the only thing keeping you alive, keeping you together. If I get rid of it we won't have much time to assess the damage..." she was trying to think logistically, about the safest way to get Elaine out of this alive... losing Elaine would mean a lot of bad things. "Elaine, what do you think?"
