Tess wondered how she even knew she was a healer. She dodged it barely and glared at the woman. Her blood was beginning to pump, and the fact that members were turning for the other side. This was a disaster and she began to think what would her father do. At that, she decided to just work with what she knew.

Trying to first create a distraction she murmured her spell "Avifors" and moved her wand around to create hundreds of different types of birds to create a distraction for all as they flew over head.

"Confundo!" She cried towards the woman.

Alex smirked if this woman thought distraction was going to work on her, she thought wrong Alex sighed and dodged the spells " Reducto!" she shot at the woman's feet and she hoped the ground would collapse under her and the woman would fall through.

Alex glanced and at Sam and hoped she'd be okay Alex sighed and pointed her wand at the woman's face " And by the way, Sam's not betraying you I would know if she was" Alex said coldly to the healer Alex knew who she was because she had seen her one time Alex sighed.

Tess felt the ground fall from her and with a squeak she fell. It seemed that it was over for her, but with a moment to concentrate she immediately popped it now in her animagus form. Grabbing her wand with her mouth, she used her paws to climb out easier than she would as a human. She rolled and took advantage of her animal form to dodge any more attacks that came her way.
Her white fur fox was now covered in dirt and she gnored how her paws were in pain from the ground's little pebbles under her.

She was growing frustrated at the whole thing. How the hell did this woman think she was, jumping into presumptuous comments that she'd never said aloud. Her mind was closed off, that was easy enough to understand, and she wondered how she was even responding. She moved a few feet avoiding the various broken pieces of the building and found herself without her cloak as she returned to be human once more.

Away from the crossfire, she let her emotions take over, her body humming with power. She was, for the first time ever, going to use her handicap as a positive thing.

"Obscuro" she growled out.

Everyone not on her team suddenly was overcome with a blindfold. She didn't know how long it would stay but she'd try, hoping to help her fellow members get one over them.

Alex smirked and shot a spell at the fox Alex couldn't help but laugh " An animangus I should've known considering my cousins one as well" Alex said and she shot a spell at the fox she did a smal back flip on case the fox came toward her.

Alex hated this woman and couldn't wait for her to leave Alex growled and popped her back and she waited for the fox lady to attack.

Sam sighed and noticed Tess and Alex were duelling than Sam's eye's widened as she saw Tess turned into a whie fox Sam growled and ran she knew Alex wasn't an animangus so Sam decided That Casey and Alex were more important at the moment.

Sam ran an ide than she turned into a white wolf she growled at Tess and Sam stayed in front of Alex and growled she wasn't abot to let her family get killed.

Sam continued to growl hoping to scare Tess off she didn't care if anyone thought she was a tratior she didn't care what people thoght anymore.

Caitlyn was stunned to say the least. She stopped her advance on Roxie, knowing that Nora would probably want to take her on, and began to circle towards Sam instead. Traitor, she saw it now. First, she had blocked her attack on the man and ensured that her dagger went into her. Now, she was growling at Tess - who she'd seen turn into a white fox - and protecting the enemy? If there was one thing Caitlyn hated more than anything else in the entire world, it was traitor's. She ran at Sam now, star-throwers drawn. She threw one at the white wolf, and then slid one into her pocket and retrieved her wand. She aimed it at the wolf, and a series of hexes and spells poured out of her mouth, accompanied with some non-verbal ones.

"Traitor!" She cried angrily. Over in the corner, she saw Nora seemed to focus and felt a weight on her shoulders briefly, but it was lifted as Nora ensured that only those who were the enemy were pushed to the ground. She shook her head and looked over at Nora, a small smile on her face before she looked back over at Roxie.

Roxie's whips collided with more flesh and pulled away, suddenly colliding with another set of whips. "Oh, darling," she cried. "I'm glad we agree on something." Roxie yanked the tangle of whips, pulling it out of both wands. The green rope was now battling each other gruesomely on the ground, tearing at each other's threads.

Roxie's wand was now free to do as she pleased. She watched curiously as two women duelled fiercely, one of her own side, the other on the enemy's side. They were quite a match. She paused for a moment and watched in amazement as Casey was pushed out of the way by the enemy. Ah, betrayal, how sweet is was to see the enemy's defences break down.

In that small moment in which Roxie had paused, a heavy weight bore down on her. The weight increased and pushed her to the ground. Her lungs struggled for air.

She felt a sudden weakness in the distracted minds around her, but one in particular. Roxie's conscious shot forwards and immediately invaded their mind. Names flooded through her, memories.

Alcyone, she called telepathically as the name sprang forth unto her. Darling. How's your little Capella? Images of a bright-haired little girl misted into view. Roxie twisted the image, showing a dark room pulled from some other memory, but then suddenly knives flew out of nowhere and stabbed the girl in numerous places.

The girl keeled over,blood pouring from her wounds. She tenderly placed her hands on the holes, instantly having them drenched in blood. It trickled out her mouth and she gurgled and coughed, spitting some of it out. Tears sprang into the child's eyes and slid down her dirty cheeks. "Mam-" she started to say weakly before she hit the floor.

Behind the girl's body was a shadowed, faceless, laughing and cruel figure. He cackled and Roxie drew the false memory to a close, switching her attention to the swirling darkness across the hall from her.

Without leaving Alcyone's mind, she flicked part of her consciousness to the swirling darkness and jabbed at it, hard. The pressure on her body was growing inbearable, and with one last effort, she shot a non-verbal curse to the woman holding the dark mind.

Caitlyn whipped around as she saw Roxie being pushed to the ground by Nora - surprise clear on her features. She hadn't expected Nora to be able to do that, but she supposed being a Mistress of Darkness meant you had to be rather powerful. She felt a smirk curl on her features and she pointed her wand at Roxie, ready to stun her and let Nora deal with her. That was Caitlyn's honest intention until Roxie called out to her. A false memory flashed through her mind, a girl on the floor, and in turn Alcyone returned to the surface. Alcyone gasped out in pain as she recognised her baby, Capella, dead on the floor. She screamed in agony and crumbled to the floor, sobbing hysterically as she blindly groped. The memory suddenly shifted and was taken away, but Roxie had complete access to her thoughts now. Another, real, memory came up and it was one of Capella's namesake.

Alcyone's sister gurgled on the floor in agony, the slash in her neck killing her slowly and painfully as she lay naked. Caelum struggled in Alcyone's grasp, before they both ran forth and battled, murdering the tutors and then being knocked out by their parents. "No, no, no, no," Alcyone chanted repeatedly, sobbing as the memory flicked from the real one of her sister to the fake one of her daughter. She looked to Nora desperately, her hair changing from dark back to the lighter, caramel-blonde of Alcyone and her eyes switched form striking green to blue and grey swirled together. Her form changed, from incredibly athletic, lithe and flexible to normal Alcyone - not bad, but not quite as advanced as Caitlyn. "N-N-Nora!" She cried out desperately. She sent her thoughts weakly to her friend. C-c-c-can't, Capella, Capella, she's making- make it stop! She called out desperately to Nora, not caring if Roxie heard her thoughts. She grimaced and tried to change back into Caitlyn, but she couldn't. Not when Roxie had attacked Alcyone. Alcyone looked up at Roxie, her eyes haunted. "You bitch, you'll pay for this." She growled, before she was attacked by a fit of hysteria and she curled into a ball.

Sam growled as Caitlyn threw a star thrower at her Sam dodged the spells completely but as soon as she turned to attack Caitlyn the star thrower hit her straight at her shoulder Sam howled in pain and her vision was fading.

She ran behind a wall and turned back into Sam her leather clothing now stained in blood she leaned against the wall and winced before she shot a spell at Alex than at Caitlyn " I am not a traitor!" Sam yelled to Caitlyn angirly.

Alex gasped as she saw a woman throw star throwers at Sam Alex couldn't move she was watching the woman that turned into a white fox than she heard Sam howl in pain.

Alex saw Sam run behind a wall and quickly turn back into her human self she saw all the blood on Sam's clothes and saw the star thrower in Sam's shoulder Alex's eye's widened " Sam!" Alex yelled.

Alex was furious she shot a million spells at the woman that threw the star thrower some were verbal spells and some were not.
