"Upstead, you have to listen to me," Bunz tried again more loudly, bounce/levitating Jake just a bit so he'd pay attention. "You are never to come near me, my greenhouses, my garden, or MY cat ever ever again. Do you understand that? I don't care about truth potion or WHO you THINK you will tell because NOTHING can be proven."
And it couldn't. She had done nothing wrong. He had sat on the plant. The plant had strangled him. All she had done was talk to the boy and confiscate his wand. Annie's hands were literally clean of evidence... why, even Jake's wand had done all the spellwork today.
All at once, the unfairness of the situation combined with the stress of his encounter with the devil's snare, and the exhaustion of the scavenger hunt all took it's toll on Jake's poor little mind and... well... he snapped.
Now, you maybe be thinking you've seen him snap before.
Lies.
His body going rigid as a board, Jake's eyes were compelled to be forced to rol back into his head about 25 times a minute, his fingers made strange claw-like shapes out of pure habit, and limbs twitched. After his head threw itself backwards a few times, the boy clicked his own jaw over and over again. He stood as much as he could on the floor of the greenhouse and stared up at the roof, letting out hisses and spits like a cat, before a great high-pitched scream came forth that lasted at LEAST twenty seconds. Then, Jake's entire body relaxed and he lolled there, having finally passed out. A little blood dripped from his nose.
