"YOU WILL ALL STOP THIS INSTANT!" came the unseemly roar from the usually quiet and gently spoken ghost.
"You two have behaved badly for a start," the phantomess said, pointing her wand to the pythons above the door. "You were supposed to stop any of these three-" here she flicked her wand at Dante, Sen, and Roan. "-from leaving, not stop people coming in."
When the snakes seemed to be properly apologetic for having gotten it wrong, the dead girl turned her attention again to the live, or mostly alive, ones.
"Get up Miss Hayzie, the Head Girl shouldn't be on the floor," she started as the wheelchair scooted over to it's owner, waiting to be occupied again.
"Now then, I'll tend to Roan in a minute. First I would like a word with you two," said the specter flicking her ethereal wand between Dante and Sen, causing them to rise from the floor in much the same way as the bottles of potion and jars of balm floated around administering to everyone's burns that moment.
Her voice was not yet returned to it's usual calm, quiet, caring tone, though the rage was gone. It was more clipped, slightly harsh, spoken like a mother who is very annoyed at her children and is doing her best to refrain from going so far as to speak slowly and carefully and give them a spanking. The truth was that the ghost felt very inclined to give all three of the girls - Sen, Dante and Roan - a spanking. They seemed to be rather fond of yelling at each other and trying to be tricky.
While she had a moment and was still quite angry about all this stupid violence and attempted misbehaviour in the Wing, the ghost sent a strong sleeping potion to pour itself down Roan's throat.
"You will sleep until next Wednesday Roan. Whether you like it or not you will not budge from that bed," she said quietly as she resisted the urge to grind her teeth in frustration with the Hufflepuff girl.
"As for you two," she said as she neared Sen and Dante. "You will drink this and you will sit quietly and you will behave like good little girls until I am satisfied. Don't you worry, I'll be doing the same thing to Roan as I'm about to do to you, only neither of you will have the pleasure of watching me do it to the other," explained the dead girl as a series of sarcastic smiles, angry frowns, and stern lines played across her face.
Funnels stuck themselves into Dante's and Sen's mouths and one potion bottle poured itself down each funnel, followed by a little powder and something that appeared to be water. Sen also received an extra potion that was roughly peach in colour.
The first potion was one to help the girls sleep, the powder was so that they would speak in their sleep, the stuff that appeared to be water was in fact truth potion, and the peach coloured stuff that had gone down Sen's was to help her to regain her memory. Once these potions were down the girl's gullets, the phantomess layed them down on a couple of beds.
"Now, Miss Hayzie, I'm sure you have questions for them, but I want to know first; girls, Dante, Sen, why did you want to leave the tender and genuine care of the Hospital Wing?" she asked. She knew they would answer her, the potions she had fed them ensured it.

Help had arrived.
Hayzie breathed a sigh of relief as Shae's suddenly loud voice echoed through the Wing, bouncing off all four walls and leaving none unwise to the ghost's presence in the room. Smiling gratefully as Shae moved the wheelchair closer to the blonde girl, Hayz used Roan's wand again to levitate herself into her only mode of transport. If Sen did anything to her own wand, boy would the girl live to regret it.
Provided Shae didn't lose her temper to much beforehand that was. Listening to the one sided conversation as she settled herself back in, wheeling backwards a little to give Shae the space to work on the two girls who were still awake.. or rather they were still awake until the purple-haired ghost sent funnels in their direction and filled them with potions and powders Hayz didn't recognise.
Glancing over at Roan who was pretty much under bed-arrest, the blonde wondered how it would be if she hadn't collapsed just then. What would have happened if she had gone to the Graveyard. There was no way she would have lasted long, no way at all. But... if the sparks shot up into the morning sky, who would Hayzie be able to send for help? No one else had arrived in the Entrance Hall, so there was only herself and Roan left to perform the backup team.
Great.
Could she really wake Roan up again when it was clear she needed rest? Could she really go against Shae's prescription of five day's sleep? The jump as the ghost called her attention again gave away that Hayz was the tiniest bit scared of her, or rather her sterness. Then thee was the question of how Roan would get out with those ghastly snakes above the door.
Noddint to the fact that she did indeed want to ask some questions of her own, Hayz abandoned the idea of hiding Roan in a nearby laundry trolley until later. After all, without answers to many questions running through the Head Girl's mind, how were they supposed to help at all?

Sen was about to say something to Hayzie for her "Gryffindor" comment but instead flames were sent at her Sen maneged to keep Dante away with her free arm.Sen didn't scream tears streamed down her face not in pain but anger,She bit her lip as the fire faded leaving burns on her body yet again but the nurse had come back and Sen put the wand in her pocket she could have had the perfect chance to finish them off but no someone came to save the day again.
Sen was put on to a bed she looked at her arms there were no more bandages on her arms just terrible burn marks. Sen was bleeding again but it was slow bleeding Sen had the urge to scream in pain but she just kept muttering to herself not to.
A funnel was put in her mouth and disgusting liquid was poured into it. Sen coughed as the liquid seized itself and Sen slowly removed the funnel she felt drowsy yet the pain and anger was keeping her awake for now. The same stuff had poured in to Dante's mouth as well. Sen was lucky enough to keep her Friend un burnt and alive,It finally hit her she helped her Friend. Before Sen laid her back on to the bed she mustered all the energy she could to speak. "I saved a friend from yours i was loyal enough to not kill Roan in her weakest state of mind i was brave enough to go into the forbidden forest for someone dear to me i am loyal to Anguls Morti."Sen said as the sleeping potion took effect almost immediately.

ooc: I'm so sorry if I'm repeating anything from previous post in this one... I'd written it all out before, then the phone kept going, and I pressed refresh which deleted it ><
bic: I am loyal to Angelus Morti.
Those words, combined with those the Gryffindor traitor had spoken beforehand made Hayzie's stomach churn considerably and left the blonde feeling ill. Sen's retort had struck home. She was a Gryffindor, held all the attributes, just in a different manner to the way some others in the house did. Dammit Hayz thought, relieved that all three girls were now asleep even if it was slightly nerve-racking to be the only concious one in the room besides a very stern looking Shae.
The blonde leaned her head back and sighed in near frustration. This morning really was not going well at all. No one else had arrived in the entrance hall... which meant Roan and herself were the only two resistance members left in case backup was needed. Not good.
How she hoped Sylph and the others were okay.
It was there and then she decided. Ennervate woke a person up as well as recovering some of their energy... surely a well directed, very quiet, spell could give the girl at least enough energy to get her through a few hours in the Graveyard?
How was she going to explain to Shae as and when she saw what was going on? Hayz definitely didn't want a talking to if she could help it. But for now, the blonde decided to wait for the signal and find out as much as she could beforehand. After all, that was what she had been assigned to do, wasn't it?

Burn balms applied themselves to Sen, and the treated areas were wrapped in bandages to make sure that none of the cure was wiped off. Just because she was furious with all of them for creating hurt in the Hospital Wing did not mean that she would not treat them.
"You will answer my question, ladies. What is so important that you would risk your health and safety to leave the my tender care out the window?" the ghost asked again when the girls were definately under.
They were all good girls, in their own way, and the dead girl knew it. They just acted in such silly ways it nearly drove her mad with frustration at them.
"Sen, I know you can hear me, and I know you will answer me, and further more I know I just gave you a potion that would restore your memory. You will tell me why you would risk your life, and the life of every other student in this school, by following someone whose very name means 'Death'," the ghost said, brushing hairs out of the now sleeping girl's face.
She was almost calm again, but there was definate authority in the dead girl's voice, authority that would not stand to be disobeyed, and communicated consequences if it was.
Sleep was a good enough consequence. The phantomess had made potions that would cause a person to sleep for hours, days, a week, it wouldn't be too difficult to find a way of making the effects of a sleeping draught last for a couple of years, and she didn't really mind feeding people through a silly little tube while they slept.
"Answer me, why?"

Dante couldn't move she had seemed to be frozen her sickness taken hold of her body in the one time that she had truly needed it the one time she would have been useful to someone. Faintly she heard the ghost ask Sen many questions, about the master. Dante gathered what little strength she had and moved, with power unknown to her she moved to her last friend. And slouched beside her.
"Sen no matter how much you want to no matter what their offers are or how good they seem, you must not tell them anything." It was all she could get you her breathing was heavy and she was gasping for air. Her eternal darkness seemed to getting darker, but she refused to give up. She said a strange little prayer between her teeth.
"Dear god master, help us." She held on to Sen's arm trying to reassure her, whatever hope she could give her she would give. The potion taking affect she could no longer move. She cursed in her mind the ghost the others and prayed for the master to come.

((ooc: I would like you to read again the first post on this page. CAREFULLY and notice that I fed everyone except for Hayzie a sleeping potion, and I poured loose-tongue and truth syrum down the throats of Dante and Sen so they can't help but answer.))
"If I have to wrap you up in your bed sheets to keep you still do not think that I will not," the ghost warned as the top-sheet wound around Dante's wrists and ankles, pulling her back onto the bed.
Once the sleeping potion took effect on Dante - it was a surprisingly delayed reaction on the blind girl, she must have had quite a lot of will power to still be awake - she would sleep halfway into next week.
"Your words won't stop her from answering, she doesn't have a choice, niether do you, neither will Roan when I get around to her. I intend to get answers from you all tonight," the phantomess informed Dante, her fury beginning to bubble again.
She forced herself to close her bright green eyes for a moment and count to ten as she breathed deeply, trying to calm herself.

((ooc: I was working on modifying you got to it first my comp is being slow. -_-))
bic:
Dante wondered why she could still hear it seemed so wrong. Her mind was still awake aware to everything. Answers from us. Dante thought. Not having a choice. There was death in that sentene. Dante wanted to speak out to tell the ghost that her plan would be the death of the two girls. But she couldn't they would be questioned and then when The Master infiltrated the school they would be killed. It seemed that her path no matter what road it turned on led to death. She willed the ghost to know these things and knowing all the while she wouldn't hear a word. There was no hope in this place, either way the girls would more than likely die.

The ghost stood/hovered over the girls, waiting for them to be truly asleep and in a state to answer her questions. As well as Hayzie's questions too of course.
"Miss Dante, do you wish for death to decend upon this school?" she asked, it might have been the first question she had asked directly, but it was calm, quiet, and softly spoken.
The dead girl had calmed down at last, though for how long could be anyone's guess just now.

The first question...death...dripping with death a poisen...death...life...freedom...death.
'Death upon the school?' She scarcely thought, incoherent thoughts running through her mind things that just didn't make sense. Thoughts of everything that she had done. Why, betrayed, sickness, blindness, sudden hope. A life an animal. Incoherent answers and the truth. A single word a thousand deaths. Could emotions be seen in blind eyes, hers would betray hopelessness, fear...and death. A single word was death a single word...
"Yes..."

Flashes of memories her own everything that happened was unfolding before her,Sen saw a mangled body on the ground Aylen and Fenris,Trajan it was true she was a traitor to the school. Questions floated through her mind like crazy her mind was awake her body was asleep for awhile. Sen couldn't help it she had to answer something inside her made her want to but Shea wouldn't b able to hear her would she?
Sen remembered everything the grave yard the great hall most importantly Angulus Morti. Sen opened her mouth to speak her breath was calm yet she felt angry like she had all the wind knocked out of her yet she couldn't feel the pain now not in this sleep she couldn't. "He will rid the school of the low life trash who are to cowardly to fight for themselves i risk my life to escape her to help him he will bring death to the weak students and i am willing to risk my life for that."Sen answered she felt better as she closed her mouth watching the memories.
Not all the memories she wanted some she had tried to forget. Sen stood in the forest bloody and battered crying over the dead fox...she stopped this memory she rid herself of remembering it. Sen's breathing grew shallow as she took a few deep breathes. There was pain in this sleep the pain of memories and nightmares was here soon her dreams would be everyones nightmares if Anguls Morti Succeeded like Sen knew he would.

"You would wish death on the school, you would be glad of it if those who are weak died," the dead girl repeated, utter disgust falling in her voice. These were the sort of answers that made her want to hit people more than anything else, she had once recieved a punch from a stranger for talking like this. It had been a very important wallop in her life.
"Who decides which people are worthy of life?" the phantomess asked, her tone far more venomous than any snake, for all that it was calm and quiet.
"What makes a person weak?" added she, leaning in over each girl in turn, squashing the urge to give them a further potion so that their dreams were of themselves in a giant space of nothingness, where they would be confronted by all those whom they had ever wronged as the voice of the questioner resounded through the space.
She had no idea how to create such a potion anyway, though it was an interesting fancy.
Without really thinking about it, the ghost picked up a quill, inkpot and writing pad from her office, set them on a lap-table and sent them to Hayzie. The Head Girl would want to take note of some of the girl's answers eventually.
"Why does your master want to kill the students? What makes you think he will stop there?"

((OOC: I know you probably meant the first few questions as rhetorical but I wanted to be mean and answer them anyway.))
bic: 'What makes a person weak?' One of the first questions the blind girl heard out of many. The second was 'Who decides which people are worthy of life?' And so many thoughts so many things at once, emotions and a stabbing feeling in her hear one of so much pain it seemed to be unbearable. 'What makes a person weak?' A lot of things floated through Dante's head and she tried to pick out the answers.
"Emotions make a person weak, every human has emotions therefore every human is weak, love, hate emotions," That was the girls initial answer but the truth soon surface,"People are weak because they are lead to believe they are weak, they are told this over and over again by different people and themselves, they are weak because they have limitations, many of them, we all do, I serve a powerful master, and yet here a I am weak, probably the weakest of them all, I will be dead soon, death makes a person weak, and the fear of death makes them weaker, ghost I am afraid to die, afraid of the death that awaits me so soon, because of this fear I am weak" Though the blind girl could scarcely even feel at the moment she did feel the silent tear row down her check, the purest truth from un-pure lips, a curse and a blessing spoken at the same time. Emotions...weakness all portrayed for the world to see.
"People decide usually for themselves they throw themselves into the danger and therefore they die, there just has to be somebody out there to kill them.
And again more questions about the master now. 'Why does your master want to kill the students? What makes you think he will stop there?' She didn't know the true answer but an answer was demanded none the less.
"I do not question what my master does I simply do as he tells me, and thats all he ever tells me, I only know i serve him loyal until I die, the Angelus Mortis is my family the one I never had, if he wishes to kill the students then I will stand behind him and he won't stop there no he wont..."
