#beck 002

where: beck's home, 2.15 am

nothing about tonight had gone as expected. evenlyn had been feeling restless and decided to chase on a lead rather than staying home with a book. she also left cassian behind, which in retrospective, it was a good thing because who know what would've happened to him. the lead took her to a small town in the scottish highlands. it was dark and cold, and it pretty much looked like it came out from a horror story. her gut told her to run, but instead of listening, evelyn got straight into it.

it didn't take long before running into them, not one, not two, but five death eaters. in her defense, she held her ground admirably and even knocked out three of them, but recieved way too many hexes. evelyn barely managed to create a distraction before apparating away to the first place that came to her mind. no, it was not st. mungo's hospital, but a private residence.

she collapsed against beck's door and groaned painfully. "motherf---" she hissed in pain as her bloodied fist banged on the door urgently and loudly. "c'me on, c'me on..." she closed her eyes, sobbing quietly. everything in her body burned and hurt, every bone, every muscle. there were broken bones, cuts, and most definitely some dark margic wounds.

and then, the door finally opened and evelyn choked out sob. "please it burns..." evelyn barely managed to whisper before everything went dark and passed out right onto beck's arms.

where: the carrow manor

Alecto stared at her father's room door, her breathing ragged. There was a knife buried in the expensive mahogany wood. That door had remained closed ever since her father died and she hated herself for not being able to open it and set everything on fire. Angry tears rolled down her cheeks as she reached out for the knife again. It was when she was struggling to pull it out that her house elf, Mindy, appeared.

"Miss Alecto, you have visitors" the elf bowed and the red head's attention snapped to the small creature. "Mr. Beck Selwyn, Miss", her tone was warm and gentle and Alecto felt unworthy of it. "We'll have tea outside" the young woman finally said. What the hell was he doing here.

She quickly changed her pajamas into something more decent, but she didn't put too much of an effort. She felt comfortable enough with him to not go around pretending. The witch made her way to the garden and found Beck already there. "Well, this is a nice surprise" she greeted him with a sincere but tired smile. "Hello, darling" she said warmly, giving him a brief but affectionate hug.
