Too Exhausted -open-

[Prudence Campbell]

Too stressed, tired, exhausted… no words would be enough to describe how Prue was feeling. For the first time in her life, she felt like her head was filled with nothing but air. Her eyes were open and were focused on her Charms book but she was definitely absorbing nothing. The young Ravenclaw rubbed her eyes and yawned, slamming her book shut as she reclined on her bed. After a few moments of idleness, she started fixing her things for the following day. School had been hectic enough lately… Her extra investigating activities seem to throw her life out of balance.

The girl tried lying down to snatch some sleep but just as she was about to get into the deep slumber she so badly needed, Peter the Ripper ruined everything. He did not do much, his face just appeared and all her chances of rest that night diminished into thin air. She felt goose bumps on her arms, back, and she shivered. Shakily, she got out of bed, raked her hand through her blonde hair and made her way out of her dormitory. She was unaware of what had happened after that for she walked in a trance-like manner… until she found herself standing in the middle of Godric’s Hollow… with a dark figure standing not very far away. She blinked and stared for a while before tasting the bitter taste of apprehension rise up in her throat.

Christian found himself blinking back some dust as he walked down Godric's Hollow. He could not understand why he decided to go there; he really did not have any business going there. All he knew was that he needed some time alone from all the distraction he was facing and after hastily deciding, he grabbed his coat and dashed out of his dorm room and into the chilling night. Now that he was spending his idle time staring into the open space, he could not help but think of the many things that happened to him the past few days. He could not understand how his simple, ordinary life could turn very chaotic and troublesome.

He crossed his arms and wondered how cold it had gotten already. Maybe I should get back, he thought as he felt sick so suddenly and maybe some rest is what he needed. However, as he turned around the opposite direction, he spotted a very familiar figure not very far away. His keen eyesight told him who it was. He started to walk small, quick steps towards the person until he stopped a couple of inches in front of her. "Don't you know how dangerous it is for you to be here? What if the ripper finds you here? I can't protect you here alone," he rambled on in one breath. When he had finally calmed down, he looked intently and saw that she seemed apprehensive. He then sighed and looked away. "You seemed to be in a trance. Is there something wrong?" he then asked softly, not wanting to startle her at all.
