The Yule Ball

"Does he have somewhere to stay? I mean besides here?"

"Yes, Elrohir, where am I staying?" Aslan asked him.
"Far away from here..." Elrohir grumbled.
"Where?"
"At MY apartment." Elrohir said more clearly. "Where you won't get into trouble."
Aslan just laughed. "Elrohir, there isn't a place on Earth where I can't get into trouble."

"I am so very sorry, Mr. Aslan." Sonia says. "I didn't mean to put you out."

Aslan waved his hand dismissively. "It's no trouble. I'll be fine."
He poked Elrhoir. "you want to help me with my stuff?"
"What stuff? You don't have any.." Elrohir began, then caught the look on Aslan's face. "Right..your stuff. I'll help you with that."
He asked Sonia to wait a minute then followed Aslan back to one of the bedrooms.

Sonia nodded and watched the two leave. She sat on the couch and waited patiently.

"Explain." Aslan began once they were out of earshot.
Elrohir sighed and explained everything that was going on making sure not to forget anything.
"So let me get this straight." Aslan said after Elrohir had finished. "You brought your girlfriend"
"She's NOT my girlfriend." Elrohir corrected.
"Who's parents were involed with death eaters," Aslan continued as if Elrohir hadn't spoken. "To the home of your twin sister who hates death eaters and whose husband was murdered by a death eater, the same death eater which your girlfriend.."
"Not my girlfriend!"Elrohir said again
Aslan ignored Elrohir and continued "Touched and recieved some if not all of his memories, possibly including his memory of a certain person's murder. Did I miss anything?"
"No." Elrohir replied "Are you satisfied now?"

Sonia sat quietly before a fit hit her and she ended up on the floor crying as Alex's death played through her mind.

"Do you hear something?" Elrohir asked. Aslan shrugged and they went back to where Sonia was.
"Sonia!" Elrohir cried and ran over to her. "What happened?"

Sonia couldn't respond. She just covered her eyes muttering what happened the night.

Elrohir's eyes widened with fear. He'd hoped this wouldn't happen. Maik had never told him what had happened, but he could guess she had a very good reason for that.
"Aslan, send Maik an owl. Now."
Aslan nodded and went to find some parchment whil Elrohir took Sonia's hand and tried to calm her.

Descartes head snapped up when he heard an owl fly in. "Maik, it's for you." he says. "I have no contacts."

Maik frowned and grabbed the letter the owl was carrying. "Can't imagine who would write me, I told them I was going on vacation."
She opened the letter and scanned it, her face suddenly turning pale.
"Descartes, I'm going to have to take a rain check on the vacation."

"What's wrong?" He asks worried about Maik.

"Sonia's had another attack. I have to go home." Maik explained. "You'd better come too, I think."

Descartes nodded. "Okay, let's go." he says.

Maik grabbed her things and called for a cab, fidgeting impatiently as she waited for it to arrive.

"Why don't we just teleport once we're out of the thicket, you can."

"Dounds like a good idea." Maik said, and moved out of the thicket. "We're going to my apartment, by the way."

Descartes nods. "Okay." he says. He didn't know that SOnia was there with two older men, then he would have freaked.

Maik took hold of Descartes then waved her wand, sending them to her apartment.
