::The Hag shrieks and the Wolf roars something incoherent as the shock passes through them, while they visibly smoke until they fall to the ground in mangled heaps. Clive and Ierys are almost to the staircase when they feel a slight tremor in the ground. Then, one by one the stairs vanish, leaving them stranded at the bottom. They turn slowly to find the Hag and the Wolf staggering back to their feet::
Wolf: You can't leave now.
Hag: Those who stray fall in flames.
::By the firelight, a glint of metal can be seen in the Hag's hand, held between her still writhing fingers. The blade of the athame in her hand comes out to a cruel curve with a jagged edge::
(OOC: Hmm... no staircase, no visible way to the door, I wonder how you guys are getting out of this? *cough* Ierys *cough cough*)

Clive pulls Ierys behind him, raises his hand and a field of electrical energy envelops them both. The mildly glowing sphere seems to push-outward with energy, like trying to put two magnets of the same polarity together. The metal blade in the Hags hand feels as if it wants to fly out of her grip, the force is strong and stepping toward Clive and Ierys with the blade is impossible.
"Yea, nifty trick but we got to run and you have little German children to eat. And you Wolfy, you go take a bath."

::The Hag wails and flails her other hand to motion to the wolf who steps in front of her and takes the entire spell for her. Freed from its grip, the Hag mutters some kind of incantation in a guttural language until the electricity dissipates. The wolf falls again, his cloak hanging in tatters and his scorched fur filling the chamber with a pungent stench. But once again he pushes himself back onto his feet::
Wolf: You can't kill us. We are you.
Hag: We are the avarice and jealousy of all mortals born into flesh and bone.

((OOC: Her GEM can get her out of trouble as well as in trouble it seems Sorry I took so long, LURVE my Dads cooking ) The glow surrounding them flicked momentarily and the GEM on Ierys's hand began to make a static-like sound. She glanced at it. -GEM activated- -verifying coordinates-This is what happened when I.... -coordinates valid- Oh no.... -innitiating sequence-Ierys wrapped her arms around Clives waist and squeezed her eyes shut. Please don't be in a wall! -process succesful-After a moment Ierys opened her eyes and found herself, and thankfully Clive, in the courtyard.

(OOC: That's what I love about writing about magic. It's usually not good or bad. Especially in the hands of a young protagonist who doesn't know how to use it. By the way, this might be a good time to tell y'all that I'm leaving in about a half hour and I won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. But it looks like you guys can take it from here until I get back)

Clive breaks away from Ierys, stunned as he gazes about at the sky and feeling the freshness of the night air. "Wha...t? Just happened?" He asks, stunned and confused.

Still stunned, Clive clamors about, checking his body, staff, the ground, anything. "No seriously... what happened? People just don't blink around from place to place without reason and our friends in the basement certainly didn't do it. Oh gods..." He exclaims. "What about them!? Should we confront Lillith about it? You know what, screw it, I'm throwing Garret and Serena down there and closing the door, it was their idea."

"Actually, it was your idea to go down there!" She said, stamping her foot childishly. "And about the whole, suddenly being somewhere else thing...lets say we just leave it alone, yeah? Higher forces at work or whatever." She bites her lip and looks at him, seeing his reaction.

"If you say so..." Clive says, shooting her a suspicious glance. "As for my idea, I wouldn't have known about it if not for them. They said there would be something down there to help me control those EMPs you so hate, I wasn't expecting the Big Bad Wolf and the old Hag. I mean seriously, who would expect that in a school basement!? Seriously!" Taking in a deep breath of cold air. "Well now what? Back to bed and pretend it never happened?"

"I hate so much??? me??? How the hell can you pin this on me?!" Ierys was trying her hardest not to yell. Yelling woud be good, strangling Clive would be better. She jabbed a finger at Clives chest "Somehow, I don't think Serena and Garret knew what was down there, so it all on your decision to go explore! You know what?" She pushed past Clive roughly and crossed her arms as she walked away. "Do what you want, Im going for a walk."
((ooc: Somehow, he always makes her so angry she walks away lol))

"Hey! You're the one who came to my room in the first place!" Clive scolds as she turns and begins to walk away. "Fine, go, but don't say a part of didn't you enjoyed what we just did! We're not all that different, you and I. You could of said no but you didn't! Walk away..." He flicks his hands as if to brush her away. "I'm going to sleep, see you in the morning."
Turning the other direction, Clive walks away.

Ierys gritted her teeth and stoped. Condescending pig! She picked up a pebble from the floor and turned around, hurling it at Clive, hitting him on the shoulder. "Stop trying to blame someone else! Yes, your right, I put myself in that situation! I'll admit that, now why dont you just admit you did EXACTLY the same! And FYI I also got us out of it!" She clamped a hand over her mouth, realising the last comment and wishing she could take it back.

"AH-HA!" Clive turns around confidently and proud. "You did do something!" He marches up to her. "Spill it, what you do!?" Prodding her shoulder with his furry, clawed finger.

Ierys swiped a hand at his finger and took a step back. "I dont know what I did ok?" She put her hands behind her back again, holding the hand with the GEM in the other, and looked up at him defiantly. "So just leave it ok?"

"Oh no, you spilt the beans now, I want to know what happened." Clive states, crossing his arms as he looks down to her. "That was some powerful magic mumbo-jumbo and I want to know what is happening here. There's obviously something you're hiding."

Ierys scowls at him. "Who do you think you are, my father?" She sidesteps around him and smirks. "Face it honey, you dont scare me."

"Well a Wolf certainly scared you. Sounds like a father too." He states, defiant but obviously curious and concerned. "Seriously, what is the problem? I know this can't be all me."
