 Phase 1 and onto Phase 2: #Post3 Little Fox | ½ of Lauralie | Ravenclaw with a Hufflepuff heart and a Gryffindor soul | #HouseNATARIANA
So many insects, EVERYWHERE, but where was Rooney?
"ROONEY?!"
Where was the kid? Clara was pretty sure she could still hear him, but she definitely couldn't see him through the thick swarms. Luckily, her spell 'Avis' seemed to be working, but not quite as effectively as she'd hoped it would be. Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic, she chanted to herself mentally, despite being exhausted and dehydrated. She could do this without panicking; she wanted to prove herself to, well, herself.
She fired off another Avis and another few Immobilus charms, a couple of which didn't worked because she wasn't concentrating properly. That didn't matter now, though, as she could see the end to the foul insects' terror. The mosquitoes and locusts were mostly eaten or immobilised and the swarm was considerably less dense. Time to get out of it. "Rooney, follow my voice," she called back, hoping he was still in hearing range, before shooting forward and jogging the rest of the way out of the bug-cloud .... but now that she was free from that, her mind was free to think about other things ... such as how tired and thirsty she was.
And, very conveniently, there was a pond.
........ That wasn't suspicious at all.
At first glance, nothing appeared to be wrong with the pond, but Clara knew that that couldn't be the case. Not in this place, and especially not when they were likely being tested at every point. Carefully, she crouched next to the pond, peering in, before looking around for something. A stick. Perfect. She held it at the end and dipped it in the water, swirling it around. Nearly immediately, there was movement below the surface and Clara freAKED OUT. She hated fairly large bodies of water anyway, but now there were Piranhas!?! Involuntarily, she let out a small scream, propelling herself backwards and landing on her gluteus maximus. Faaaaantastic. |
