Steppe was fuming. A furious mix of embarrassment, shame, anger, and resentment, her mind was all a frenzy.
A small nagging voice in the back of her head named intuition was telling her maybe facing Hallie in this condition was not a good idea, but Steppe didn’t care, Steppe in no way took her time to listen to that voice. Ever.
She had walked for a considerate amount of time. Despite the fact that she hated winter, she harshly disliked taking the bus, so she would only take the bus whenever it was forcefully necessary, for the meanwhile she would just apparate or walk. She preferred walking most of the time, except right now she was specifically strutting. Her heels firmly kicking the snow with speed, her hands deep into her pockets, her posture straight and head held accordingly she was a woman on a mission. Due to her fury she couldn’t even feel the cold, her angry march continued, a determined look stiffened her face.
Out of my way morons! she glared at a few children that suddenly crowded the small sidewalk she was on. She didn’t voice her opinions but if she found any other interruption she was going to do so. Stupid people! she thought. If someone so much as cuts my path or try’s to bug me I’ll- I’ll hit him! Her eyes were drills. Yeah I’ll sock it to him in his face! No idiot should try and mess with me. The muscles in her neck and jaw were working. If anybody paid attention to her they would be able to see the by the way she was walking she was not a happy camper. Of course people were to oblivious to care, it was smack in the middle of winter and most people just wanted to stay warm at home, while most people were in a hurry to their destinations.
Steppe stopped once she got to the corner.
Hallie’s mother cottage… well it had been a while sense she read the article, then again despite the description she had no idea where to go,Where was The Lakes? she had never been anywhere near Hallie’s home before.
Steppe’s mind clicked fast back to a summer day when she saw Hallie in the street with who she assumed was her family. They looked happy. She wanted to stalk Hallie, she thought about following her home, but went back on the idea after realizing she had no way of achieving that goal without being seen. Steppe regretted not having followed her, but she was only fourteen back then, and had been a shrimp and wimpy girl. I am not who I used to be... she thought. The memory sped though her mind considerably fast, but still lingered in her brain. For a moment she had sort of forgotten she was angry.
So is Hallie still at her mother’s cottage? the gears in her head turned.
Either way she is going to end up at St. Mungo’s… especially if she had an infection. her mind analyzed. So I will wait for her at St. Mungos.
She turned left, and continued walking. St. Mungo’s was not far from there. After twenty minutes of a reduced amount of furious marching she made it to the entrance, and stopped. Her breathing panted but steady.
There was a mess of all sorts of people had filled up the lobby, and also a mess of emotions. Some waiting in line. A mother holding her crying daughter in her arms, an elderly couple, a boy with a broken arm, a man who had some sort of head injury who was already being taken in by the nurses, a particular girl with crutches who was standing there.
Well I am just going to wait right here in the entrance until she shows up. she thought firmly. A small voice spoke into her brain. What if she doesn’t show up today? Her anger boiled. So I will come back here tomorrow, and wait. I will wait! And wait until she comes up! her fury calmed some, she crossed her arms and reclined against the wall. She had to show up eventually…
Steppe continued to observe how the girl had no leg, it was odd. On the other hand Steppe envied her yellow hair.I will dye my hair blonde one day.. she thought. This girl was incredibly skinny not in an unhealthy manner but still so thin.
Steppe eyed her face.Wait a damn minute! It couldn’t be could it… Her eyes narrowed as she tried to get a good look at her. Steppe kept her distance on seeing one of the nurses approach the girl.
((OOC: I left my Steppe confused for a moment. Haha. Do you want Steppe to recognize her right now. I can always change the post. C:))
