Welcome to Gaia! ::

*Faith turned and glared at the elder wizard, the fire glowing in her eyes* You know as well as anyone else I can't easily be contained. *She sighed in surrender. She respected to the man far too much to challenge his authority* Just make sure she stays safe. I want her back as quickly as possible...

*Faith returned to the bed to lie down. Ares fluttered over and perched on the footboard of the bed* Watch over her Ares. *With a shriek the hawk took flight. Faith closed her, hoping McKenzie's interrogation went much more smoothly than hers did*

"I don't know what you're talking about." She gave her interogator an even stare, but had enough of a desparate tint to her voice and eyes that it made it seem like she actually didn't know the answer. So far she hadn't given them the real answer to anything.

Fudge gave a grunt of anger and slammed his fist on the desk. "Do you take me for a fool?!"

McKenzie faked being afriad, cowering back in her chair briefly before the words hit her. A bit of anger flared in her voice. "Do you take me for a liar?! A Slytherin I may be, but I'm not as underhanded as most in my house!"

"Calm yourself Ms. Wallace."

Fudge jumped at the voice and spun around. "Dumbledore, she's clearly-"

"I think this interogation is over. From what Minerva has told me, you've been asking her the same set of questions for the last 3 hours. Obviously it has gotten you nowhere." There was a twinkle in his eye. "Let her go. If she had been lying you would know by now."

Fudge's eyes buldged in anger. He pulled out his wand and made a swipe in McKenzie's direction before turning to leave the room.

Mckenzie felt her invisable bonds loosen and she fell forward. She caught herself just short of the floor and stood. "Thank you Professor."

"I believe someone is awake and wishes to see you. She seemed concerned when she found out you were under interogation. I don't know why." He gave her a wink before turning to leave as well.

McKenzie smiled and ran back to the dorms, glad to be stretching her limbs. She slowed when she reached the dorms, waiting to catch her breath before entering her room.

McKenzie saw the Irish girl and gave an nod of acknowledgement. Then answered Faith. "It's me." She headed toward the bathroom, the smell of vomit burning her nostrals and turning her stomach. She poked her head through the door, concern on her face. "Are you okay?"

McKenzie went over and took a seat on the floor next to Faith. "It went well I guess. Nothing compared to what you had to endure. They got nothing out of me. As far as they know, I found you." A grin spread across her lips and she gave Faith a wink.

Ah, from what I overheard, there's some fighting going on between the school and Fudge. Seems they aren't too happy about your return condition. And no worries. I didn't make you out to be a fugative." She gave the girls leg a soft squeeze. "I made up some bullshit story about how you admitted in your delerium that two of the guards took you out to have their way with you and a beast of some sort attacked. You ran in a panic since you had no wand to fight with. That would explain both a) your escape and b) the bodies they found."

McKenzie watched with an arched brow. It was only when Faith was in her bed that she spoke. "You haven't had any of your 'meds' in a while. Did becoming the pheonix nix your..." She searched for words. "Are you like me anymore?"
