The Ghost of You (Nedea) (Unfinished)(Forbidden Forest)
Nedea Zobelle
"YOU MONSTER!" she screamed as she ran and tried to tackle him. With just one shove, she was thrown back to the ground. As he slowly pointed his wand at her, she braced herself for the excruciating pain that was to come.]/i]
Nedea woke up with a start, breathing heavily and sweat trickling down her temple. She looked around frantically, searching. She breathed a sigh of relief as she realized she was alone... in the Forbidden Forest, that is.
She looked around and her brows furrowed, wondering why she was there. She felt a sharp pain on her temple and felt dry, crusty blood when she placed her hand on it. She must have tripped over a protruding tree root and passed out. It was getting dark so she stood up and brushed off the dirt off of her uniform. She took one last look around, then proceeded to head back to the school.
Not soon after, evening came and she pulled out her wand and said, "Lumos". Nedea was tough but with the nightmare she just had earlier, she was a bit jumpy. The sounds of nature didn't exactly help such as owls hooting and trees rustling.
Nedea froze when she thought she heard a twig snap nearby. Her hand slightly shook as her grip tightened around her wand. "Is anyone out there?" she called out. When no one answered, she moved her wand from one side to another, checking her surroundings.
"I'm almost there" she thought to herself as she continued to make her way back. Just then, she felt some sort of movement behind her. She whipped around quickly, her heart was pounding and her eyes darted around trying to see what was around.
Brennan Dawson
Brennan was making his final rounds before heading to the meeting of the new Headmistress Sasha McChey. Smiling as he knew how Sasha felt about the position. The thing was Sasha had been acting Headmistress since right before Joseph's death two years ago. Bren chuckled as he thought, “Get used to the position my friend.”
He had the same problem when he got stuck with heading the security team here at Hogwart's. He was young, only twenty-two so most of the older Aurors and Hit wizards thought they didn't have to listen to a “cub” as they called him. He chuckled again as he remembered back to the day last term that Seth Wright had sent Martin, Max and several other Aurors to back him up. Of course that was after they had debriefed him about his run-in with Shadow.
As he saw a light up ahead, Bren also known by his Caretaker codename Profiler started towards the light at a dead run. His wand slid into his hand as he went, thinking, “That better just be a lost student or an Auror making their rounds. This is one day that the Number's Dark Sect better stay clear!” Brennan Dawson was in no mood to play the Dark One's games.
Brennan got to the light and gasped, “Nedea”. He could not believe his eyes. Nedea a girl that he had not seen since she graduated from Hogwarts. He had heard that she had disappeared right before he arrived two years ago.
Brennan grinned as he said as he walked up to her, “Nedea, It is me Brennan.” As he reached her, Bren noticed that she had a head wound saying, “Nedea, what happened? You been gone two years.”
(OCC: Had Nedea's permission to state what Bren said about recognizing her. The info about Bren and Shadow has been threaded in Door to Destiny and other threads that are now Archived.)
Nedea Zobelle
It was there, she could feel it come up her throat.
Something was approaching her and she couldn't take it any longer. She let out a scream. Her eyes were wide in fear. Every step it took towards her, she stepped back. "Don't come near me!" she warned.
"Who?" she asked, not recognizing him.
Her brows furrowed. Two years? She had been gone for two years? That was impossible! The last thing she remembered clearly was being in the Hospital Wing with Will Rikard. They were catching up with one another over tea and biscuits. She tried remembering other things but it couldn't come to her at the moment.
She looked back at him. "What are you talking about? Who are you!" she demanded, stepping back again. Her wand was still pointed at him.
Brennan Dawson
Brennan watched her carefully as she thought of what he had revealed. She had not changed much from the girl he had admired as he had grown up. He had wanted to join her circle of friends. Then as he got the courage to talk to her and William Rikard about their next meeting, his friend Jake had shook his head. It had been rumored that the whole group had been attacked. It was because of what happened back then that made him want to protect The Core. Revolution had failed but he was determined to see The Core succeed.

Bren smiled as he realized she had not remembered him. He grinned as he saw the wand thinking, “That won't do. She could injury herself worst.”
He really hated frightening her even more but he had to defuse the situation. With real hurt in his eyes for what he had to do, The one known as Profiler said silently in quick succession, “Expelliarmus”, “Petrificus Totalus”]/i] followed by, “Pulvinus”]/i]
As he retrieved her wand, Bren said, “Sorry Nedea. You are confused and in that condition your wand best not be in your hand. As for who I am? I am Brennan Dawson, head of Security at Hogwarts.”
Taking his Caretaker globe, which looked like a small marble, from his pocket Bren thought, “Don't worry Nedea you are safe and help will be here shortly.”
He held the globe as he said into it, “Sorry to interrupt the meeting but Lance you are needed, Forbidden Forest, bring Max, Nedea has been found, Hurry! had to remove her wand and bind her.”
After putting the globe away he said to Nedea, “The last time I saw you Nedea, I was a fifth year Hufflepuff and you were graduating from Hogwarts. When I came here two years ago to escort the third years to Hogsmeade, I heard from the then Deputy Headmistress Sasha McChey that several of the staff had gone missing and you were among those missing.”

Nedea
His smile, since she didn't know him, it frightened her. Who could blame her? She woke up in the Forbidden Forest with a dried head wound and no recollection of how she got there. Panic was slowly starting to course through her body. Her basic instinct was to fight always but at this time, the most sensible solution to her was to run. She was about to cast a disarming spell when her wand suddenly flew from her grasp and the next thing she knew, she was petrified!
As her body stiffened and fell, she felt like everything was in slow motion. She wasn't sure but was that her heartbeat that she was hearing? She braced herself for the pain that was to come when her body would hit the ground but she instead, bounced lightly. For a second, she marveled at the softness of the ground. It felt very nice.
"Head of Security?" Nedea thought to herself. This was all the more confusing. She listened as he spoke and called for back up and hoped that things were not about to get worse.
"Sasha McChey?" Who was she? What happened to Witchard? Why had she gone missing? Why couldn't she remember anything before now? She had so many questions and she wanted answers now.
Lance Kildare
Lance felt his message ball vibrate in his pocket. Taking it out and putting it up to his ear, he heard Brennan's message.
Bren smiled as he realized she had not remembered him. He grinned as he saw the wand thinking, “That won't do. She could injury herself worst.”

Lance Kildare
Lance felt his message ball vibrate in his pocket. Taking it out and putting it up to his ear, he heard Brennan's message.
… “Sorry to interrupt the meeting but Lance you are needed, Forbidden Forest, bring Max, Nedea has been found, Hurry! had to remove her wand and bind her.”
"Nedea," he thought, "she has been missing for two years. Standing up he turned and tapped Max on the arm, saying out loud, "come on Max, Brennan needs us. I will explain as we go." He looked at Sasha, and silently asked for permission to leave, which was readily granted. Calmly he walked out the door. As soon as they were out of the main office, Lance explained as much as he knew of what was happening and they picked up the pace. When they were out the main entrance, both men took off at a dead run, allowing their wands to drop into their hands.
Max was the first to pick up the slight movement just inside the perimeter of the Forbidden Forest. He had not opened up mental communication with Brennan, because he was not sure who else would be able to listen in. . As they came to the point where Brennan was standing, they found the girl Nedea, bound and lying on the ground. Lance immediately went down on one knee and started to examine her. Most of the time he preferred using his Muggle doctoring skills, but the wand was quicker under these circumstances. Quietly he said, "It's ok Nedea, you are safe. Relax and let me check you. My name is Lance and I am a doctor. You are going to be alright, I promise." The only injury he could see was from a cut on her forhead, and that had stopped bleeding.
Max , a Psy-healer, would take over as soon as Lance was finished. While Lance continued his exam, Max turned to Brennan and asked, "What happened? When did she get the cut on her head?"
Nedea
Nedea lay in the ground. She stared at Brennan as it was the only thing she could do at the moment. She was stunned and her mind went blank. "What the bloody hell just happened? Did he just bind me?" she thought to herself. She couldn't explain why but she felt very peeved at Brennan. "Oh, he is going to get it when the spell wears off." she made a mental note.
As Lance and Max arrived, her eyes darted towards them. She swore in head as she panicked again at the sight of more people she didn't know.
She watched him as he examined her. She overheard Max ask Brennan when she got her head wound. Randomly she thought, if any of them was a Legilimens then maybe he could go through her mind and see the things she could not remember.
If she could only let out a sigh. As her eyes moved towards the night sky, she began to calm down. She finally decided to surrender to these people. She also realized she was tired. Her eyelids gradually opened and closed as the fatigue settled in her body
(OOC: Both Lance Kildare and Maxwell Sinclair are my characters)
Brennan
Brennan watched Nedea and was really concerned for the woman. He saw the puzzling look in her eyes and said, “Don't worry Nedea, we will figure out where you been. The two I called will help.” Profiler had not want to total bind her but the lady was scared and confused. He had not wanted to take the chance of her bolting before they could help and figure things out.
He smiled as he saw both Lance and Max come into view. He said still worried about how Nedea felt about his binding her, “Help is here Nedea. If you promise not to take off and let us help you? And if Lance and Max agree then I will release you. I promise Nedea.”
Profiler felt uneasy as he scanned the area as he said, “Lance, Max. Hope things are okay in the meeting. Max can you sense him? Is it okay to unbind Nedea? How soon can we get her to the Hospital Wing, Lance?” Bren did not like being so close to the Number. Either he had been feeling the Protector or the Number and that meant trouble. The Number had invaded his thoughts before and that was something Bren was not wanting with Nedea so confused already.
Brennan switched between watching Lance work and protecting Nedea by scanning the area. He had hated binding her and swore he would make it up to her as soon as she was safe.
Bren shrugged as he said, “Max, I was doing my final check before heading to the meeting. Saw a light, and came a running. Found her, confused and with little to no memory. Max, when I told her that she has been gone two years, we'll see for yourself?”
Lance Kildare
Max held out his hand to Brennan, to hold him off for a moment. When he made sure Lance was not going to need his help with Nedea, he turned in Brennan's direction. "Easy Bren, the meeting is going fine… everyone is still arriving. As far as feeling evil around, this whole forest in permeated with evil. As far as anyone in particular, I am not feeling anything at the moment, but stay on alert."
Max looked down at Lance and Nedea. Catching Lance's eyes and his slight nod, he nodded back. "Bren we will be able to move her in a few moments. Unbind her. Lance can keep her calm and a little groggy until we get back inside."
Max knelt down by Nedea, still lying on the ground. "Hello Nedea, my name is Maxwell Sinclair. I am a Psy-healer. We want to take you to Hogwarts Medical Wing to see how you are doing. When you are comfortable there and are ready, you and I will talk and see if we can figure answer some of the questions I know you have." When Brennan had removed the bindings, Max looked at Lance and then back to Nedea, "Let's see if we can get you up and moving toward the school. If you can't walk that is all right, because we will carry you." Max smiled at the girl, trying to reassure here with his manor that everything was going to be all right.
Still seeing some fright in the girls face, he added, "Brennan there is going to watch around us as we go. You are safe. Ready?"
