Nearing the opening, a sound started to register in Nate's ears. It was a sharp, peircing sound. Peeking around the doorframe to see what was dying inside the Room, he saw that the thing being mauled was Jez. Being attacked by Jez.
Nate's dueling reflexes kicked in the moment he saw blood on Jez's face: someone was going to pay. His wand whipped out and pointed at the Jez on top. "Stupefy!" he yelled, aiming carefully. This wasn't a time to take any chances.
Jez was screaming hell bent - or trying to - when she heard a familiar voice shouting something. Jez_2 rolled off her, and Jez backed up, panting, glancing around for her saviour. Her eyes fixed on Nate, standing there with his wand out. Oh. Jez was about to explain when Jez_2 jumped to her feet. Apparently she'd only been stunned, not knocked out. Damn.
"Nate!" Jez_2 sounded as shocked as the real Jez felt. "What're you
doing here?" She bit her lip in exactly the same way Jez often did.
Jez stood up too. "Pam gave you my message?" she asked. Thank Merlin she had.
Jez_2 rounded on her. "My message, I think, since you're technically a product of this room." She narrowed her eyes and pointed her wand at Jez. "Want to help me take her down?" she asked Nate. "I think we both hold a grudge."
Jez's wand was in her hand and pointing at her double before she'd even finished the question. "No he won't," she snarled. "Our fight, Jez." Ack, shouldn't have called her Jez!
