Deja Vu all over again

The day was windy and cold though it was middle of March though it only rained it didn't snow like last couple of days. Mariana got out of castle after putting a jacket over her robes since it was freezing outside.She looked dreadful these only few weeks after she left the Ministral Ball and didn't see anyone from Order members ever since.Fortunatly Khaat haven't objected yet about her sneaking out of the hospital though she knew that it won't be long. She had recieved an annonymus note taking for granted it was probably from Matt though in realitty it wasn't.

Note asked to meet her here at this our.Dark was already falling it was middle dark in Hogsmeade. Edge of the Hogsmeade forest. What a spooky place for meetings. The only thing which was visible in the dark was her skin that was pale as snow at the moment. She arrived at the place and looked around a bit more paranoic then she wanted.No one was there yet so she sat down on the wooden log and coughed a bit still holding to a thought it was only a harmless cold.

Spoiler:

Gabrielle hoped that Mariana had recieved her note and that she would be there in despite of the fact she left it without a signature on purpose. She had finished her work for the day and took her jacket to cover up considering it was particulary cold today for some unknown reason. It was a few years since she had a proper talk with Mariana though it was better late then never. Rumors had reached her ears that Mariana had sneaked out of the Hospital and that she was on some way sick though she had no idea from what.

She observed her as she arrived from the shadow.First she had to see what was she dealing with before she would start a talk. If it wasn't for her sunglasses Mariana's face would look like a ghost in the dark. In her mind there was some sort of picture what she would do though now she hoped she hoped there was enough patience left in her. "Hello Mariana!" she said deadly serious as she walked towards her from the back of a tree.

Mariana was too disorientated at the moment to notice Gabrielle who was there all along looking at her observing how pathetic she was. Suddenly someone walked out of the woods so she stood up to face whoever it was. She stood up too quick making herself a bit spinny.Her head was spinning like a wheel. "Gabrielle..." she said widely opening her eyes.Now this was the person she least expected to see today. "What are you doing here?" she asked not sure what was happening. Herself and Gabrielle were a bit distanced nowdays.

Gabrielle looked as Mariana was rather surprised to see her. It was supposed to be unexpected though she just approached closer as Mariana turned her head around. "Yeah Gabrielle in corpse and flash.." she said raising her head to look at her very well before she would do anything else. "What am i doing here? Well i came here to help you so let's talk a bit shall we?" she asked using her calm tone as she was now standing face to face with Mariana. She did look dreadful.

Mariana looked at Gabrielle shrugging her shoulders. She sat back on the wooden log hoping she would eventually give up. Her head still felt like a spinning wheel. "Help me Gabrielle?" she asked lauging like it was a practical joke. It was mad laugher. "I don't need yours or anyone's help Gabrielle. I never did and neither i need it now.It's not like you care anyway..." she said returning to her normal state though not taking her sunglasses off to look directly at Gabrielle.

Gabrielle sat in front of her on another wooden log having clear this matter may take a while. "I don't see what's so funny about helping you Mariana. We all need a hand sometimes and it seems you are the one that need it the most at the moment." she said with her silent tone though it seems Mariana least cared about about her tone. "If i didn't care i wouldn't be here. I want you to tell me what's wrong with you because if you could look at yourself you wouldn't say you were fine.." she said looking directly at her lowered head.

Mariana just shrugged her shoulders not in the mood to talk to her or anyone lately. "I wish people would stop helping me. If you want to help me then take your wand and kill me that would be of much help." she replied to her sending words that first popped on her mind. "And no i don't say i am fine. I simply don't care if i am fine or not. My life is like disasters coming one after another.So anless you want to finish off what's left of me then go..." she said removing her sunglasses looking directly at Gabrielle with the most strength she had before she stood up.

Gabrielle looked as Mariana was a stubborn girl.Why was she even surprised about that? After all she knew her pretty well. "So that's what you really want? To die?Have you ever though what would happen to people that care about you if you do something reckless as that?" she asked as she realized Mariana wasn't paying attention anymore and stood up. "Expeliarmus! Levicorpus!" she said as she suddenly drew her wand out pointing it at Mariana. She needed to talk to her even if it's against her will.

Mariana's wand flew out of her pocket towards Gabrielle while she felt her hands being trapped without possibility she could move them without being able to take her wand. She just turned to Gabrielle wondering what was she doing. "Gabrielle what are you doing? I don't understand why are you doing what you are doing at all.." she asked yelling at her. Her reflexes were too aweakened so she could deflect the spells. She just stared at her not sure what was going on in her head at the moment.

Gabrielle released Mariana from the chains on her hands once she had her wand in her hand. This wasn't the favourite part of her being here though it was the only way to retain Mariana from leaving. "You can't leave Mariana. I came here to talk to you which is precisely what i am going to do. If you want to go then you'll stay without your mother's wand." she said looking at her without changing her expression. "So are you going to talk yes or no? There are other ways to make you talk just so you know.." she asked as she sat back on the wooden log waiting to see what would Mariana do.
