Time stood still, but not for her child. The creature grew and developed inside her, providing a reassuring sense of... something. Leanne still wasn't sure of her opinion on it... (eight months later, and the quandary still plagued her so), but it was here to stay. She closed her eyes, trying to think of a plan. It was as if when she placed her hand closer to her child, her mind got clearer. Thoughts made sense again. Leanne knew that whenever the thoughts were triggered, the pieces came together. She knew what questions to ask, the sense of deja vu filling in the gaps. Leanne only needed to create something that would give her that spark of recognition. Unbidden, a man's voice came to her. "Play to yer strengths, Mags. Yeh only get one shot in this world. If you drop yer wand for a second, it's over. Yeh don't need flashy motions to win. Yeh need a few simple spells, good spells, reliable spells. That's all." She could feel the flagstones beneath her feet, smell the burning straw from the incarcerated training dummies, hear the shouts of the squads around her, see the grizzled man in front of her, looking twice her age instead of the four years older he was supposed to be. "My strength is fire," she had responded with. "Prove it." Leanne held a fire ball in her hands in both worlds. She lifted it into the air, bringing it down upon her other hand. In the other world, a ring of fire whipped through the training arena, concentric walls travelling ever outwards. In this one, her purpose was much simpler. A tattoo. Remember what Evan told you. It was small, on the inside of her forearm. She wouldn't be able to ignore it this time. She didn't care. "I won't forget," she said again. One name on the wall stuck out to her. In all her time at the house, she had never heard anyone mention a Connor. [Read more] |

"I'm not going to forget this time," she whispered, vowing to herself that she wouldn't. [Read more] |

"So when do I forget? Is it as soon as I leave the room? When I go down to the village? Overnight? And how do you remember?" [Read more] |

"Have you told me this before?" It was the strangest question. She hoped Evan would laugh it off, call her crazy for a change. [Read more] |

She thought this house was chance to live a life in peace, her biggest mistake buried like it never existed. Escape had never been a thought to her. She had always assumed when she wanted to go home, she'd be taken back. (After all, when she'd wanted to be away, she'd been taken here. Somehow. Her memories were still strangely fuzzy.) Because escape sounded sinister, like there was something to run from. [Read more] |

She paused, thinking about his words. What if they were all dead and this was some twisted afterlife? Did that mean that she had failed- Leanne looked down instinctively. No, still there. What kind of life was she to leave? "Tell me Evan... what was it like when you came here? Was there a house yet?" [Read more] |

"This house warps us. They're young and idyllic. But a gilded cage is still a cage. I- I don't even remember how I got here." [Read more] |

Or they were both crazy, and could only see in each other. "Hm. What are you working on right now?" [Read more] |

There were a few things in her old world she missed after all. The cameraderie of the squad, the purpose, the danger... Yet it had become too dangerous. The man may have defeated him, but there was more darkness brewing in the vacuum he left behind. Leanne shivered. Until all of the sudden, her lovely nap was interrupted by a frustrated shout. Why did she have to share a wall with Evan? Aleks had warned her not to disturb him. What about when he was disturbing her? Leanne, by definition, liked to play with fire. She was very good with it... Seventh year duelling champion because of it. Most of the time, she could keep herself from being burned. She stood, exiting her room a little annoyed, and knocked on Evan's door. [Read more] |

"That makes two of us. Madness would be quite inconvenient to have to deal with. And you know how I hate inconvenience. She turned, sidestepping him to walk back up the stairs, pausing to see if he would stop her again. It was times like these when Leanne realized how little she knew about this strange new world.

When the man with the maniacal smile didn't move, Leanne sighed. "Just give me three more weeks. Then I can do your activities again." She refused to use her condition as an excuse in a sentence, and it was making everything harder. Eight months in, and she still wasn't sure how she felt about the small human growing inside her. She didn't speak of it, didn't change her life to revolve around it, nothing. But she sure thought about it. A lot. [Read more] |

"See... it's never just a stroll with you, Aleks." She finished the tea, setting the mug in the sink. "I know enough not to trust that smirk on your face, my friend. So really, if it's all the same to you, I'm taking a nap. Go and have fun with the children without me." [Read more] |

There were no chiefs here. This wasn't the squad. There was no wild haired squad leader barking orders at her. Leanne frowned. She was really quite tired. "Your idea of relaxing certainly doesn't match mine. Pardon my scepticism, but I'm not sure if I'm in any state to make that journey today." Her clipped accent emphasised her words, making Leanne sound like she was back in Britain. The North-Londoner came out when she was too exhausted to somewhat conform. "I might just go back to bed..."

She sipped her tea, lost in thought for a moment. Then she finally asked, dreading the answer that she knew was going to somehow terrify her, or at the very least, fill her with dread. (Just think, she could have a moment longer of peace before asking.) "What did you plan for today, Aleks?" [Read more] |
