Adrienne walked along the edge of the gorgeous river, staring into the water and watching the little creatures swim along. She was in an odd mood...just the night before, she had another one of those dreams...the awful, horrible memory that she was forced to live with. She woke screaming, worried that someone had heard her. However, no one came, so she tried to go back to sleep. It came again, overpowering her every muscle. There was no way to wake up until it was over...
She had gotten no sleep that night, as many nights before it. She considered just laying down and falling asleep right here by the river. She put down her bag and lowered her fragile body down to the ground. She took off her cloak and used it as a blanket and laid her head down on a patch of thick moss. She was asleep in seconds.
[glow=red,2,300]"No! Please, No!"[/glow]
The nightmare was back, harsher than ever, never quite clear...but still, a memory.
[glow=red,2,300]"Please! No! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"[/glow]
The screams were loud enough to wake the dead. Adrienne sat up swiftly, voice acheing from her screams. She tried to calm herself down and almost succeeded, when suddenly....she fainted, falling back on the moss.

Lynn: (wow. you like to use long posts. Awsome!) heard the screams from the tower where her room is. runs down to the river as fast as she can, thinking maybe it was one of the students. She spots Adrienne, curled up on the moss. she leans carefully over her to look for injuries, finding only a small scratch on her elbow where she landed on it. pulls out wand. "Enervate."

(What can I say? I like to write...lol)
The blackness was starting to fade, and Adrienne could barely make out a figure leaning over her. She tried to sit up, but a splitting migraine prevented her from doing so. She layed her head back down and managed to say "Thank you."

Lynn: gently smiles. "Good. You're alive." conjures up a damp cloth and places it on Adrienne's forehead. her expression changes back to concern. "What happened?"

As her headache begins to dull, Adrienne tries to explain what that whole thing was about. "Well, you see...I've been having these dreams - nightmares, really - ever since...well...since something happened to me awhile back. I'd rather not talk about it..." Her voice began to break up, and she decided that she had better stop.

"It's okay. I understand it's personal. Feel up to walking? I'll help you to the Hostpital Wing if you want." ~maybe that's not such a good idea..~ "Of course, if you're not up to it I can try to find Caith."

She smiled weakly at Lynn, then said, "No, no...I can walk...". However, when she tried to get up, the headache was back, worse than ever. It felt like someone had plunged a knife through her head. She screamed and fell back to the ground. When she finally was able to speak, she whispered, "Or not...maybe you should find Caith...although, I'd imagine he's sick of seeing me! I've already had an accident involving a curse and a wall..."

eyebrows crease. "Who cursed you?" ~how did she get all the way out here when she's hurting that bad?~

(got it, thanks) Adrienne blushed a little. "Actually, I cursed myself...I was practicing resisting the Cruciatus curse. I've done it before, but this time I guess I just didn't have enough strength to resist it fully. I'm having my class study them in detail, for Dark Arts, you know."
(BTW, she was fine, until she got to the water)

~Why in the world would someone want to put a curse on themselves?! even for class?~ (Lynn was just assuming she was already hurting and maybe trying to get away from everyone so she didn't show weakness. that's probably what Lynn would do..) "Sounds like you got a little carried away." (fyi, Lynn almost never uses her left hand for anything except around Caith, cause he already knows her secret. *wink*)

(the Dark Mark secret?) "Well, no, actually. I've taught the Dark Arts for many years, at Durmstrang. But lately I've just not gathered enough strength to resist even my own spells...it's quite discouraging..."

(yeah, but Adrienne doesn't know that, does she? ^^) "Well, I imagine it's rather difficult to concentrate on casting a spell and resisting it."

(nope, she has no idea...just like Lynn doesn't know about Adrienne's past.) "Amazingly, it usually isn't," Adrienne paused awhile and breathed out slowly. Her head was swirling and she was beginning to get nasous. (sp?) "Usually, I just imagine that i'm placing it on someone else...I have a rather vivid imagination...comes in handy for a Dark Arts teacher!"

(just making sure she didn't use Legitemends (sp?) nauscious?) "I imagine so." ~she seems suspiciously good at Crucio...even for a teacher~
