Ravenclaw Tavern [2]

Jackie

I find Rayah behind the bar, downing a whole bottle of Whiskey, and I take it away from her before pulling her away. She's obviously already wasted, and she stumbles, "What the hell are you doing?" I ask her.

She doesn't answer, blinking, and I shake my head at her.

Nic

I get down there and see that everything's under control. If someone who was a little girl five minutes ago being wasted is under control.... Shaking my head, I bolt back upstairs and find Jace gone. Give me an 'effing break.

Jackie

Rayah collapses and I scoop her up, carrying her back upstairs and setting her down in the bed. I look at Nic afterwards, "Where's..."

Nic

I shake my head and glance back at her, my hand slightly shaking from the fear of what it might be, "I have no idea..."

Jackie

I nod, "Oh..."

Nic

I can't feel him either... I sit down where I stand and take my head in my hands, trying to figure things out.

Jackie

Thinking Rayah might have a vibe, I look at her, "Where is he?"

"Downstairs," she mumbles in her sleep, cuddling with a pillow, "Jacey is downstairs..."

Nic

I jump up and bolt downstairs, scanning the room for Jace.

Jackie

I watch Rayah and sigh, A kid? She's having a kid?

Nic

I find him and drag him by the collar back to the room, locking the door behind me and I sliding down it. I take my head in my hands and fist my hair to keep from screaming at him.

Jackie

I lay beside Rayah and wrap my arms around her stomach, sighing. She opens one of her eyes and looks at me, "What...the hell are you doing?"

I shrug, "Your warm."

Nic

I look up and find Jace curled up against one of the walls, his eyes squeezed shut in fear.

Jackie

She looks at Jace, "I'm so confused...will it seriously happen?"

Nic

I study Jace before he covers his face with his arms, shrinking back. Looking at Jackie, I take a deep breath, "He doesn't know. He's not a prophesier."

Jackie

I nod, Rayah sighing and running a hand through her hair while closing her eyes again.
