 Fluttery Pegasi
Hadley did not react at all. Not when Penny chided her. Not when she closed the gap or drew her wand. It was entirely as if Hadley Denaker had no idea Penny was even there. She just continued to absently pull books off the shelf, stare at the cover and drop them before moving on to the next one.
Then the ropes happened. And the placid, docile mindless Hadley was gone. She trashed and strained against the ropes with a gurgling sound escaping her throat that may or may not have been "Boooook!" The trashing grew more frantic. She had to be free. Had to find the book. Had to bring it to the forest. BOOK!
Free. Book. Get book. Free hands. Get book. BOOOK. Hadley Denaker was thrashing to free herself so hard that if she hadn't hurt herself already she would soon. Not only that, but she had been tied up over the books on the floor, many of which already suffering damage from the girl's wild attempts to free herself. "BOOOOOOOOOK!" It was more a moan than a word.
