Cindy shook her head. If they would all just stop TALKING to her...UGH they were making this WORSE! She finally let out a jinx, aimed randomly, and took off running.

Reia looked at her, then told the others, "Stay here. There are only two people she'd listen to now." She took off running after her. When Cindy finally stopped, she stopped a little ways back. "Cindy, it's not real. Whatever it is, it's just fake, just a dream.."

Cindy looked at Reia, who slowly approached her. "Come on....you know me. You know I'm not going to hurt you." She reached her hand out. Cindy eyed it warily, then cautiously took it.

"Reia?" she asked, suddenly understanding.

Reia nodded. "Come on. We can get you out of this."

She nodded, and followed her to where the others were.

((Ok ))
Devon starined her eyes to see in the dark. She hadn't been successful. She had let all her friends down, and one of her best friends, Cindy. Goodness knows what could have happened. She was just about to give up and leave when she heard a rustle in the trees behind her...

Reia looked over at Devon, then nodded. Cindy followed her into the clearing, a little ways behind her.

((Btw Devon wasn't with the others...))
"Cindy?" Devon called,"Is that you? Reia!!" she shouted,"What happened? Nobody told me what had happened!"

[Sorry. Edited that.]

Reia hugged Devon while Cindy, still feeling uncomfortable and guilty for what she had done, stood behind, arms crossed, and smiled softly at Devon. "It's nothing...they just messed with her head a bit," said Reia.

((That's ok ))

Devon hugged her back,"I'm so sorry I didn't come! I was looking for you everywhere! Who are they by the way?"

Reia shrugged. "Don't know...he're too elusive." She looked at Cindy, then said, "Let's go find the others..." She leaned closer to Devon and said, "Maybe Harry can help."

"Yes," Devon said, glancing at Cindy.

Reia nodded, and said, "I mean...he loves her, doesn't he? And she loves him...he could get through to her."

"Yes...She was talking to me aout him a few days ago...Anyway, any idea where they are...?"

Reia nodded and pointed straight ahead to where they were standing together.

Cindy looked up at the others and recognized one of them immediately - Harry.

((gah!!! i'm gonna bring Izzy into this if that's ok))

Mandy lay on the ground breathing heavily, she was being dragged slowly through the undergrowth, the man grunting and panting as he pulled Mandy by the arms across tree trunks and roots.

He stopped suddenly, dropping her arms, them landing like lead on the groud.
"Who's there?" he called out in a gruff voice, there was a slight movement a little off the the right, Mandy groaned and rolled over, her eyes open a crack.
"Stupefrey!" called out a voice that was sharp yet gentle at the same time, the man fell to the floor landing somwhere near Mandy's feet.
She then let out a sharp breath as she saw feet coming toward her, a shadow of a girl bent down beside her, checking her over quickly.

"Come on up you get" the girl whispered sliding her arm under Mandy to help her up, and Mandy willinging trusting her instinct let the girl help her.
"This way" said the voice leading her back through the bushes.
"Who are you?" Mandy asked in a rather thick slurred voice.
"Izzy Tonks" the voice replied as they came out into a moonlit lawn, facing the castle.
"Almost there" the voice said again, as she led Mandy over to the stone steps were she helped her sit down.

Mandy felt slightly better, a little dizzy and very grogey, but then she had been hit on the head twice in 24 hours.
"Scoufigy" the voice said, a sudden sensation went over Mandy as the spell Izzy had cast cleaned away all the dry blood.
"Where's Cindy?" Mandy asked, Izzy stopped what she was doing.
"You know Cindy?" she asked, Mandy nodded.
