The Yule Ball

Elrohir jerked awake, not realizing he had dozed off. Seeing Sonia walking towards the door he got to his feet, looking worried. "Sonia? What are you doing?"

Sonia didn't answer. By the looks of things, she was in a daze-like state.

"Sonia, what's wrong?" Elrohir asked, taking hold of Sonia's arm. She was really starting to worry him with this trance thing she was in.

Sonia's eyes returned to normal. She looked at Elrohir. "How'd I get here?" she asked. Taking a look around, she couldn't remember standing up.

"Well, you walked." Elrohir replied, still looking worried. "You were in some sort of funny trance."

Sonia blinked. She quickly hugged Elrohir not letting go. "I. . .I'm so scared. I don't remember getting up or walking."

Elrohir hugged her tightly. "It's ok. You weren't under the imperious curse I don't think. You want me to get my mom?"

"No, please, no. Elrohir, I can't take being here. I'm only staying cause you're here. If they found out about this, they would send me to an asylum." Sonia says blinking back tears.

"They're not sending you anywhere." Elrohir insisted. "How about I get Aslan? He's a bit more relaxed than my mom about these things."

"Maybe, I mean it's up to you. I really don't know anything about this."

"Aslan's a good healer, I'm sure he'll be able to figure something out." Elrohir replied confidently. "Will you be ok if I go and find him?"

"Uh, I. . .I. . .uh should be." She stuttered. She looked over to the bed and silently wished she were home.

Elrohir raised an eyebrow slightly. "Are you sure?"

Sonia nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure. As long as you hurry." She says smiling brightly.

"I will." Elrohir promised. He kissed Sonia quickly on the cheek then walked quickly from the room, heading to Aslan's office.

Sonia sat on her bed. She knew something was definitely not right.

After a few minutes, Elrohir came back with Aslan, then left again after a minute to get something to eat, leaving Aslan to look after Sonia.
"Hello Sonia." Aslan said, waving slightly. "Elrohir said you were in a trance or something."

Sonia nodded. "I don't know what happened. I fell asleep and when I woke up at was standing up over there." she pointed towards where Elrohir woke her up.

Aslan frowned slightly, scribbing some notes in a small notebook, then waving his wand around, first over Sonia, then by the area she had walked across.
"Heard about your dad." He said converstaionally as he worked

Sonia blushed. "You did?" She asks watching Aslan. His frown didn't help.
