HEBB: The Garden

"i curse the green never to grow here again!"

traci looked at ginny "me i'm the matter i need to get over amber leaving but i cant" traci sighed and looked down

::streams paused in her meditating and opened one eye. "Rai," she said, smirking slightly, "there isn't any green here now...it's winter, remember?"

still smirking, she closed her eyes again and took deep, relaxing breaths.::

::She thought for a moment.::

"Well, that's okay that you're sad. We all are."

"no it's not okay gin" she shook her head " i need to get over it people get evicted it happens" she let a few dead tears slide down her face she was ashamed of herself

::streams, a.k.a. era--mistress of wind and water, was still meditating on the icy pool when she heard a sharp crack suddenly from beneath her. "Oh Merlin...I forgot that my powers will melt ice...dammit..." she muttered, slowly beginning to slide back to shore.::

"okay I'm here! show me what you got!"

::The ice groaned and cracked suddenly beneath Era, and she flew into the air gracefully, avoiding a wet and cold dunking.

As she came down, a light drizzle began coming down over the garden, turning into fluffy snowflakes in the cold.::

"Clumpsy" Todes muttered

::the light snowstorm started strengthening, becoming more intense. snow was falling thicker and faster now, there was already an inch of snow covering everything in Tode's vicinity.::

Todes waited patiently...

Hehe you underestimate me. your loss, Era thought happily, and without warning, the light snowstorm turned into a blinding, freezing snowstorm.

the kind of storm that made you see only white all around you, that drove snow and sleet into you, stinging your skin and forcing you to squeeze your eyes shut. the kind of storm that nobody in their right mind would go out in.

but Era made exactly such a storm pound itself on Todes, but the way it differed from natural storms was that it was centered on him. no matter which way he went, even if he flew straight into the air, the storm would surround him from all sides until Era removed it.::

Todes waited till she finished with his eyes clised. No cold in the world could veiled his flaming aura that kept him warm. Then he opned his eye an evil red light bursted through them, he then started to walk around like a beacon he did that till the stromed stoped he looked to see Era petrifyed only some meter away. "That's what you get for messing with me" he said that and left the garden

Traci sniled and alked around it was a nice winter day

::Shining Lady flew out into the garden and landed on a tree, watching the battle below her end with a little bit of interest.::

::Era shook herself and stared disgustedly at Todes' back. "I didn't take you for a coward, Todes," she called after him. "Why didn't you stay and fight?"

::shaking her head, she turned and headed for one of the many benches that scattered the garden and brushed some snow off before she sat down.::

Todes had just passed the door when he heard Era. He stopped looking angrily he then calmly went back

"Don't you ever learn?"

"Don't start with me now, Todes," Era said, holding up a hand. "I've just gotten comfortable on this bench." Tilting her head, she gazed at him for a moment and added softly, smirking, "Don't worry, I'll try not to spread the word about what a coward you are."

"Excuse???? I didn't wanted to finish you while you were down, and I'm the coward?"

"You can delude yourself into thinking you're noble." streams shrugged. "But you will never convince ME."

"I do not need to convince you royal blood runs through my veins you peasant!"

"Oh, so now you're a prince?" streams laughed suddenly. "Oh, it's good to have you around, you take my mind off more serious things..." she murmured.

"So where does your royal family reign over?" she asked, smiling as she made room on the bench.::

"Are you calling me shallow????"

"I do not recall saying that." streams frowned. "I said it was good to--you know what? Nevermind," she said angrily, and stormed towards the wall of the garden.::

"Wait are you actually saying you were being nice to me?"

"Could you STOP following me?" streams yelled angrily when Rai came up behind her. "I said no such thing. Leave me ALONE."

and she began running back towards the house, but slipped on a patch of ice and sprawled on the ground, her cheeks flushed, clutching her wrist.::

"hahahahahahaha" Raistlin couldn't help himself from laughing

"PAhtethic you're so pathetic!"

"It's never a good thing to laugh when your fellow housemate is down," streams said coldly. "I'm going to make you regret this."

then she strode towards the house and vanished inside, still clutching her wrist.::

"hahahaha" Raisltin continued laughing for a while

"Geez i was needing a laugh like this. there's no class in this house however."

::Ginny jumped out of the tree and folded her arms.::

"Got anything better to do than torment her, Grandpa Diddles?"

"Not really, besides it's fun did you see that fall? mwhahaa. You loony stop calling me that!"

::streams stalked outside to walk her dogs, ignoring everybody and everything, but staying alert for anything unordinary.::

"look it's miss owner of the Fall of the year hahaha"

::streams clenched her teeth and pretended not to hear Rai as she took deep breaths to calm herself, releasing steamy clouds into the wintry air.::

"Is she smoking?" rai asked to no one

"No, her breath is fogging in the cold you silly..." ::Ginny said as she rolled her eyes.::

::streams walked to the wall and stared over the edge to the world beyond, clutching her dogs' leashes tightly.::
