"Aiden got off my foot." Nessa said shaking him off. He persisted and nudged at her foot until she moved it out of the way. She gasped. "Draco!' Draco ran over quickly and looked down at what Aiden had found.
"The charm I gave her." He said quietly.
"She has to be close." Nessa said looking around franticaly. She took in a sharp breath when she saw the spider Aiden was growling like a mad dog and Draco held Less's charm tightly. "This is fantastic! Why wont they leave us alone?"

Lessien shivered, cold in the darkness of the night, "This is just great. Just frickin' great." Slamming her hand down on the nearest tree she gripped her wand tighter. Spinning around she pointed it at the Thestral. "You. This is all your fault! I realize that a werewolf was coming, but you could've waited for Draco to get on." She sat down with a muted sob, "Draco. I swear if he's hurt I'll...I'll...well, I don't know what I'll do honestly, but it'll be drastic." I've never done this before, what if it doesn't work? Closing her eyes she tried to mentally reach out to Nessa. Ness? Are you there? When nothing but silence reached her she curled into a ball and held her wand out preparing for the worst as noises started coming from all around her.

Nessa paused and looked around. She heard her! Where was her voice coming from? Draco had his wand out Aiden was low and growling feircly ignoring his injuries. And what was she doing? Trying to figure out where she had heard the voice!
Less! Less where are ya?! She waited, the voice had to have come through her head.

Ness? NESS! Can you hear me? Lessien's voice echoed in her head.
Yeah, now where are you? Nessa almost rolled her eyes at the sigh she heard in her head. Lessien what is around you?
I don't know. All I see is trees and some bushes and of course this damn thestral. Hmm, I think I'll call him Smoky.
Umm, Less, focus here. What else do you see?
More trees and...I think some caves. Wonder what those are for?

Caves? In the forest? Nessa watched while trying to concentrate with Lessien as Draco and Aiden dealt with the spider. They looked at her more than once but she ignored them put her hands up to her head to help her keep the noise out and concentrate.
That's what they are. She heard Lessien say.
I wonder if Aiden or Draco know where those are.... Nessa said.
Ask them. Lessien urged, Nessa sighed.
We are having a bit of trouble at the moment. Nessa told her.
What?
Spider
Oh...
I'm going to help them and then see about those caves. Nessa said.
All right. Please hurry.
I'll try. And then the connection was broken and Nessa took out her wand to aid her friends hoping that she would be able to get a hold of Lessien again when she needed to.

"Balderdash!" Lessien spit out angrily. "They're in trouble and I'm stuck here. Just perfect." Looking up she noticed the thestral coming closer, "So Smoky....it's alright if I call you that right?" Laughing slightly at herself, she shook her head, "I'm loosing it little by little. I honestly don't care if you think it's alright because quite frankly I do blame you for this whole frickin' mess. Well, that's not exactly true. This is actually my fault. I should have pretended not to see you. Or I shouldn't have gotten on you. Or...well...ARGH!" She closed her eyes briefly and prayed.
Nessa took in the picture before her and rolled her eyes. They are both going to get killed and then Lessien is going to be pissed, and I...I... She shook her head to stop the thought pattern and aimed her wand at the spiders, "Immobulus!" As the spiders stopped in their tracks she grinned broadly. That works for the moment. Now to get Lessien.

"All right boys lets get out of here!" Nessa shouted. They were quick to reply and when they were far away enough Nessa stopped them. "All right, either one of you know where some caves are in this forsaken place?"

Aiden walked over in wolf form and nudged Nessa's leg.
"Yes?" She looked down and shook her head, "Sorry. Forgot you couldn't answer. I take it this means you know where some are?"
He nudged her leg again and started walking North, deeper into the forest.
"Oookay, let's go then," Nessa grinned as she watched Aiden scamper slowly in front of her. "Draco?" She glanced back, "Hurry up."
"He really knows right?" Draco asked quietly.
"Aiden wouldn't lie. You should know that since Less says the two of you are friends of sorts."
"It's...it's just hard to trust others," Draco frowned. "I'm..afraid we won't find her."
"We will," Nessa smiled softly at him knowing he was worried. "I would've thought you'd be more positive about it though. You were pretty darned determined earlier."
"I'm not really much of a positive person. Or I wasn't until.." He looked behind them for a moment, "I am determined to find her. I'll die in here before I go back without her."
She nodded, "I pretty much figured that. I'm not leaving either." Walking faster to catch up with Aiden she whispered, "She wouldn't leave me."

They went on for a while and Nessa was afraid that Aiden might have misunderstood about the caves, but with her wand lit up dimly she was finally able to make out some shapes that indeed looked like caves. She almost leapt with joy, but she stopped herself knowing they were still in a shaky situation.
"Are these it?" She asked. Aiden made a grunting noise that she decided meant yes.
"No what?" Draco asked.
"Just wait." She told him patiently. Lessien?

Nessa? I can feel you. I think you're close....can you feel me? Lessien stood with determination and looked around her. Maybe you should say something out loud?
I don't know...should we really do that and risk getting some unwanted attention?
Lessien did a mental sigh, I don't know. Maybe Smoky would give us all a ride to the grounds. It is uh, definately big enough to hold us all.

Nessa laughed out loud puting a hand over her smiling lips and Draco and Aiden looked back at her. When she noticed she cleared her throat and whispered "O...K..."
I'm going to try it. Answer back if you hear me. And pray nothing comes after us.
All right, be careful. Nessa nodded her head and looked around.
"Lessien? Lessien are you here?"

Lessien smiled with relief as she heard Nessa's voice coming from somewhere to the left, "Nessa! Can you hear me?"
"LESSIEN!"
"Draco!! Merlin, ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"
"Yes, keep talking, I'm getting closer," Draco shouted as the trio moved closer.
Well if he didn't just steal my thunder.
Nessa! Lessien laughed in her head and out loud. We both know if you couldn't hear me then I probably wouldn't have been found. Thanks.
Hey....you would've done the same for me.
Damn straight. The girls laughed lightly.
"Less, keep talking!"
"I thought you said I talked too much?"
"Lessien!!"
Now who's being a smartass?
That would be me Nessa. I'm just...so relieved you're all here and okay. Or almost here as the case may be. Is...is Draco really alright?
I think so. I know he's better than Aiden is at this point.

It took them a minute but they got each other in sight. Draco was running to Lessien like a madman and Nessa and Aiden both decided to stay back and let him attack her. Nessa looked down at him worriedly and knelt down to put a hand on his head softly stroking it. She needed to know he was ok... for at least right now until they could get him help.

Once Lessien spotted Draco she gave a triumpant cry and flew at him jumping into his arms, "You're alright!!" She gave a sob as she ran her hands on his face, "You're really safe."
"In a manner of speaking. I'm just glad you're alright," he said as he held her in his arms. "I was so afraid."
"Me too. I was bloody terrified," she admitted whole heartedly. "Now are you going to kiss me soon or what?"
With a grin he gladly followed through with her request, swinging her around. "Thank God you're alright," he whispered once they parted.
"Ditto," she placed her forehead on his. Remembering her friends she looked around, "Ness! Aiden!! Are you guys alright?" Instead of running over to them, she opted to walk quickly while holding Draco's hand in her own.

Nessa glanced up at Lessien then looked down at Aiden sitting next to her still in wolf form. As she ran a hand over his head he sat still his eyes half closed. She looked back at Lessien her expression decieving her worry.
"We need to get Aiden help." She told her quietly. "I'm worried about him."
