Good deeds prosper

[Thomas Strangeheart]

Alli stuttered, pushing her blonde hair out of her violet eyes.
"Well, you see, Cross is big on blood lines. Pure bloods only for him. And me, well, I'm pretty much the furthest from pure blood that you can get. My father was a vampire. My mother was a muggle. When he found this out, he took any excuse he could to get angry with me. And then he snapped. He ran off during a dance, and we've been on our guard ever since. He hasn't tried anything too extreme until now. I.." Alli looked down, a red streak of hair falling into her face.
"I loved him," she pushed out. "I just... Thomas!!"
A bloody Thomas stumbled into the room, coughing up blood.
Strangeheart looked at Thomas in complete awe. "How is it possible?" Thomas' body shouldn't be able to move, let alone live.
"Where's Cross?" Blood spat out of Thomas' mouth as he talked.
"He's right over there-" Alli was interrupted by shock. Cross' body was nowhere to be found.
"Get Alli into my office, everyone, into my office! Now! I'll find Cross!" Strangeheart was screaming now. He had just died, been revived, and witnessed the murder of Zenfare. He was going to deal with Cross.

Alli helped Lyla off the bed and they were ushered into a small room that branched from the bedroom. They all piled in, strangeheart shut the door behind them and waved his wand in front of the door a few times. Alli held lyla up by her good arm and lyla swayed from the pain in her bad shoulder. Zenfare looked horrified, Thomas was trying not to leek blood all over the floor and strangeheart was busy on the other side of the small room.
there a few clicks and the sound of keys and zaps and metal and odd noises coming from where strangeheart was standing. The next thing Lyla new, she was being ushered down a tight hallway that seemed to appear out of the wall and then it was dark. Alli kept the passage lit with her wand as strangeheart led the way. Zenfare kept Thomas aloft as he limped and staggered his way down the corridor, banging the walls with his stiff shoulders.
Eventually light could be seen towards the end of the corrider, and when strangeheart stopped he was towering next to a small lock towards the bottom of a solid wall. He taped a combination of random bricks that even a smart sober person couldnt remember, let alone 4 people scared and 2 suffering from blood loss. the wall to the right shifted behind Alli and Lyla and the almost fell backwards but strangeheart caught Lyla with a soft touch, and started leading the way down a larger corridor.
several minutes later they came to a wooden door that once opened revealed a small study, walls lined with books and several stacks of parchment paper. couches were scattered everwhere, lyla and alli chose the closest one and sat down. Thomas layed down on the one opposite them, and zenfare took the chair. in the center was a small table that strangeheart waved his wand at and four cups of a steaming substance appeared. none of them questioned it, but picked them up and drank quitely. strangeheart took a seat behind his desk, closed his eyes and rubbed his temple.
