Lacuna | George Weasley (COMPLETE)

~ 10 ~

George walked down the staircase to see Mariana walking towards the door. He immediately popped in front of her, giving her a fright.
"We need to talk"
"I don't have anything to say to you, you won't understand how important this is..."
"I know who you are!" He blurted.
Mariana wasn't sure what and how much he knew but she didn't want to take any risks."What do you mean?" She asked.
"I know you're not human" he replied, "I know you have wings. Why have you been lying to me? Is anything you told me the truth? Are you the same person I knew a few days ago?"She was shocked. Did he hear her last night? She hoped not.
"It's none of your business"
"Is your name even Mariana?" George was pushing her buttons.
"I don't want to talk about it George!"
"Are you the same girl I fell for?" Everything inside of Lacuna froze. She didn't know what to say but quickly realized that it was wrong.
Lacuna turned around on her heels and walked away from him without another word."You can't just spread out a new pair of wings and fly away from this conversation!!" George told her. "Actually I can!" She was furious. Her mind wasn't working properly. Lacuna spread her wings and flew out. She didn't know what to do, she didn't know what to feel. She had gone crazy and that was fact.

George watched her leave, he saw her go up to the sky and fly away.
He stood there for what seemed like hours just looking at the sky, questions popping in his head by the second. His mind was racing and his confusion only increased. He wasn't sure who she was.

Suddenly w woman, short, with short brown hair popped in front of him. "WHERE IS SHE!?", she asked. George was taken aback and didn't reply. He blinked a couple times bringing him back to his senses. "Where is Lacuna!?" The woman was urgent. She was terrified but George couldn't get words out of his mouth. He stood there unfazed for a few seconds before the woman put her hand on his shoulders and shook him."Weasley! This is an emergency! Where is the girl!?"

"I- w- who are you!?" He managed to say.
"I'm her mother!" She was furious, "And she's about to face death ! Stop being so daft and tell me where she went!"
"I don't know! She just flew away!" George replied.
"There must be some place shady where he took her, where no one goes anymore" the woman thought out loud, "Somewhere wizards don't go"
"Knockturn alley" George said, "But who are you!! Whats happening?"
"I'm Inara, Mariana's mother! She is in danger and I don't have enough time to explain anything else to you!" Inara spread her wings and was ready to take off. At this time she didn't care who saw her and who didn't, she had to find Lacuna.

"Wait! I want to come!" George pulled his wand out of his pocket, "I want to help her, if she's in danger"
"No!" Inara shouted, "You are Not going anywhere, stay here!"

"You're early" Death stood before Lacuna, leaning on the wall behind him in a completely empty knockturn alley.
"I'm here. Part of the deal" Lacuna went straight to the point, she had to get this over with as soon as possible.
"Very well." He pushed himself off the wall,"You've kept your part of the deal and I'll keep mine." His hand reached out to Lacuna, "Now give me the cloak"
"Only if you prove your word first" She told him, she was smart enough to know that there was always a catch when it came to Death.
"Smart girl, but you'll have to give me the cloak first because I don't trust you" This would've gone

"No!" Inara "don't do this Lacuna!"
"So you did bring other people with you...I guess you didn't keep your word after all"
"I don't know why they're here!"
"You lied!" He raised his arm and shot a spell at Lacuna causing her to fall back.

Inara sent death flying back into the wall with her magic only causing him to get more aggravated. He stood back up as Lacuna opened her black yet magnificent wings zooming towards him and knocking him down again.
