HEBB: The Garden

"Okay," Dancing followed her. "Wise move, although I was thinking that if we went throught those bushes we could lose anyone following. But this is much better."

"Okay," streams murmured. "now, I have an idea that if there's a break anywhere in the wards surrounding the garden, this rat--" and she pulled a large rat out of her pocket--"will find it. Rats always know the way out," she said and changed its fur to bright blue, then dropped the rat over the garden wall.::

Rai saw dancing and streams moves very carefully
~they're ip to no good~

"But if it does find something, what if it's so small that only your rat can get through, and none of the escapees can follow. What if your rat doesn't find a break or if something gets to your rat before it can find a break?" Dancing asked there were many problems with this plan but if it worked then it would be the prefect plan...

::Ginny saw Rai sneaking and grinned. She tiptoed behind him and poked him on both of his sides and said::

"SURPRISE Rai!"

::streams watched her rat skirt around outside the wall, edging back every time he sensed a ward. She noticed at one spot he could go a bit further, but he still couldn't get through. Then she heard BB's voice booming through the garden.

Holes...why would BB want us to avoid...oh! Moles, holes...

"Dancing," she whispered urgently. "What do you know about tunnels?"

::Ginny skipped happily into the garden...and then tripped and fell face first onto the pavement. She gingerly felt her forehead and when she looked at her fingers she saw blood. Sighing the red head stood up and looked around, she was dizzy and bleeding...and in bad need of a bandaid.::

"Does anybody in this place have a band aid?!" ::she shouted. Immediately Ginny cursed herself for leaving her wand in her other set of robes and began walking in a daze around the garden.::

Dancing smiled, "Tunnels well, they are dangerous unless built right. They are dirty and hard to built even with magic it's difficult. But if your rat can find a tunnel we could enlarge it and sneak out. But depending on weather it goes under the wall or not, or if it is blocked by a wall then we're out of luck."

~Brunette walked into the garden and suddnly her foot caught and she tripped and fell right on the grass. She sat up and massaged her foot, glaring at the big hole in the ground.~

"Now who dug this hole here?" she said, taking some dirt and filling it up. Just when she was half way done a mole popped it's head up and chattered. "Nice mole...niiiice." she stressed bringing her hand to it. It clamped it's teeth on her finger. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! It bite me!!! Get it off! Get it off!!!!"

"A mole!" streams exclaimed, and grabbed it firmly.

"I wonder how deep these walls are in the ground," she whispered to Dancing. "Let's see if this mole can make it out of the garden," she decided and after placing a tracking spell on the mole she let it go, it immediately burrowed underground.::

~Brunette had finally gotten rid of the stupid rodent and put a huge cast on her finger~

"Moles...who needs them" she muttered and once again tripped over another hole. She let out a screech of frusteration.

"Moles?" Charmed exclaimed, "Real moles or a mole working for big brother?"

"I don't know," Brunette said shurgging. "Maybe they are working for him.."

Haha, clever, streams thought. But I don't really care, moles will be moles, she decided and tracked the mole as it dug deeper and deeper.

Unless...is BB saying that one of the HOUSEMATES is a spy?? When I finally abandoned that thought? But why...that doesn't make sense, BB wouldn't TELL us that...weird...

"What are you up to this time?"

"Could you STOP poking into my thoughts?!" streams shouted. "Bad enough that BB does it...don't you know the MEANING of PRIVACY?? Apparently not," she finished disgustedly and turned her back to him.::

Brunette couldn't contain her laughter. "Apparently BB must have let his secret slip on how to read minds."

"I don't see anything REMOTELY funny about this situation," streams grumbled.::

"Of course, you don't!" Brunette said, grinning.

::streams shook her head and backed away. Why was Brunette grinning so widely? Maybe she was drunk...or insane. "Are you feeling okay?" she asked carefully, planning an escape route as she spoke.::

"Who me?" Brunette asked, shrugging. "Oh, I'm fine. Are YOU okay?"

Traci walked outside letting her dog run around her she laughed and played with it it was getting big fast

Dancing nodded. "Streams look that mole it's resurfacing..." She whispered.

The puppy noticed the mole and went chassing after it barking and all. "sorry guys" traci said as she ran to catch her pup

"But I don't think it even went beyond the wall, streams said disappointedly. "I can't STAND this...maybe I should just leap over," she mused. "Someone's gotta try."

"Well, go on Silvers." Brunette said, edging her on. "You first."

Brunette stood back with Dance and Trace

"I'll be your someone," Dancing said and took a step forward. She grinned at the others and put her hand on the wall, as if to test it. "Ah! My hand" She joked and smiled. "No I'm kidding, I'll be back in a flash." And she leaped over the wall.

"Don't scar me like that, Dance!" Brunette cried after she had let out a small shriek. "Careful!" she called as she watched her friend dissappear over the wall.

"No! You weren't supposed to...oh great," streams murmured, her face white. Then she cast a spell that caused her to glow a weird shade of blue before vaulting over the wall after her daughter. She hadn't been planning to leap right then but since Dancing had gone she had to go after her.::

"Hey, wait for me!" Brunette exclaimed and jumped over too.

"NOBODY ELSE JUMP!" streams shouted. "YOU MAY BE RISKING YOUR LIFE!"

Oh forget it, she thought despairingly. that'll just make them all want to jump even more...

::she realized that the air around her was pitch black and tentatively reached out with her arm, trying to feel something or somebody.::

Dancing crashed down on the other side of the wall and let out a squeal of shock when her mother landed next to her. "Nice to see you mum," She smiled. "And look only one head. hahaha but you turned blue." She pointed.

"Oh Merlin," streams said hoarsely as the air around them cleared. "are you all right?"

"Well, since were here, we may as well test the wards," she said, looking resolved.::

"That was a big jump.." Brunette said shuddering landing next to Silvers and Dance.

"Of course I am," Dancing said her immaturaty over powering her sense of logic. "Now why test the wards, we made it this far, there should be no need now."

"Brunette! Are you okay? Merlin, this is not good," she muttered, and slowly walked farther and farther away from the wall.

When she was about ten feet away there was a buzz and she was slammed back and landed hard on the ground next to the wall.

When her head stopped hurting enough so that she could talk, she asked slowly, "So...do I...have three heads?"

Dancing looked at her dear mum flat against the wall. "No but that looked so cool." She said "Wait damn, Streams your turning orange."

"Are you okay, silvers" Brunette cried in shock. "What happened?!"

"Trust me, that was NOT cool..." streams moaned.

"Orange? I suppose I'll just worry about that later...but since we're here, and we'll get into huge trouble for crossing the wall, may as well get hanged for a dragon than an egg...

...so maybe we can find some breaks in the wards."

"Yeah maybe.." Brunette said, shivering. "Is anyone else feeling a bit chilly?"

"I laugh out loud," Dancing said. "Actually that looked like the muggle movie, I think it's the Matrix, but oh well."

"Where did that rat go?" She said looking around.

"Look, over there by that strangfe treee..." Brunette said running to the rat only to have it slipped through her fingers and she fell flat on her face.

"I hadn't thought of that," streams murmured. "The rat is gone...and hold on a minute...I can't find him with my tracking spell either! That means he's more than 500 feet away...there's probably a rat-sized hole in the wards! It might even be larger than that..."

~Brunette lifted herself off the ground and leaned against the tree. ~

"Sooo, what now?" She asked

"Apparently there are two rats," streams said, shaking her head slowly...it was still pounding. "I wonder why only one of them got through..."

"It is strange." Brunette said softly. She itched her leg. "Maybe we should go further?"

"Wanna risk it?" streams said doubtfully, but a little smirk curled on her face. "It sort of hurt quite a bit when I was hurled back from the ward...but just think...we might find a hole!"

::she stood up looking wistful and scanned the air where the ward apparently was, though it was invisible, she tried looking for a break by instinct.::

"Count me in." Brunette said. She loved the rush of doing something against the rules. She followed Silvers eyes and could only wonder what was beyond. "Let's do it." she whispered.

"Lets do it," Danicing said.
