Loose Ends (Carmen and Eric)

[Eric Draven]

The beast continuously tried about three or four times to get to her but still was unable to fit, he was only able to slide the bed around a bit due to his strength. The force of his strength trying to fit through left him wounded, as he dislocated his left shoulder blade.

Unable to walk properly and whimpering in pain, the beast fell helpless to the floor for a brief moment. He lied there while he watched the frighted woman try to get away. He watched as she fell to the floor like a stump that hit the ground. She was wounded herself, and quite badly.

The beast was gaining some strenth just as she was heading out into the hall. He growled loudly in anger, and started making his way towards the hall. He started to sniff for her, as it was dark but yet fairly quiet. He put his beak to the ground, and while in so much pain started again hunting for the woman.

He went a little further still sniffing for her crimson scent, and yet how familer it was to him. It had a feeling of extreme hunger, lust, and excitement for her but yet he wanted to rip her face off. He then got a whiff of that crimson scent he was lusting for.

He noticed near the base of another door she was lying there scared stiff. He could smell the fear, her sweat and her presance. He then cracked his neck and then slowly crawled to the woman. She wasn't moving at all..she was no threat to him. He then took his snout and snuffed at her leg with it to see if there was movment. There was nothing fun about hunting for someting if it wasn't giving you a reason too.

[Carmen Erickson]

She felt the nudge of her leg and Carmen opened her eyes only slightly. She looked slowly at the werewolf. Carmen was not thinking of him as Eric anymore. He was the beast. Did that make her Beauty? She chuckled a little at this. It was shock from the head injury and the pain. She was too tired to fight anymore and too hurt to run.

Carmen was done. What happened now would be what happened. She slowly slumped to the side. Carmen was exhausted. The stress, the chase, and the emotional strain had proved to be too much. She was not thinking clearly or she would never have done it, but as it was, Carmen leaned right over until her head litterly rested on the back of the wolf.

He was strangely soft and his fur smelled clean. "beast..." She whispered. "I'm sorry I got you into this." Carmen was vaguely aware of the fact that he could rip her in half at any moment but a part of her just wanted to stay there.

[Eric Draven]

The beast awaited for a slight bit of movement from her, as he then nudged her leg again with his snout. Snorting and sniffing all around her now, he seen her move over to her side and slowly lean onto him. Even as a wolf he loveed her scent, as it was all so familiar. He could smell her hurt as he too was injured. She then spoke to the beast with barley any breath.

"Beast......I'm sorry I got you into this.", he heard her say to him so weak like. The beast let her lie there, resting on his as he know started to change back. Exhausted as he was, he let out a loud howl and then slowly his long animalistic hair disappeared, his appearance was becomming more human and his eyes became normal. He then lied there almost asleep next to Carmen completely naked and then quickly snapped into reality and broke the spell.

He looked over and seen again the love of his life hurt very badly, and was unable to move and was very very weak. He moved over to her rapidly and picked her up and held her in his arm as he forced the hurt shoulder to aid her weight. He held her lifeless body in his arms and started rocking her gently. He looked down the hall and then looked at the other side and then back at Carmen.

"My love if I have hurt you please forgive me" he said to her as there was no response. He then shook her a bit "Carmen..can you hear me...we have to get out of here...before I kill you...this is our chance...we need to go..I need to get you somewhere safe...". He realized that plan was not going to work as she was practically unconcious.

[Lord Voldemort]

Tom had not moved very far from where the two had left him. He was listening though and listening hard. Voldemort was silent as numerous bangs, thuds, howls and screams filled his home. Really, he did not want the female dead. He just wanted to teach her a lesson. Then again, he did not want to loose him either. Although Eric was a werewolf and werewolf's were impure, Eric was a powerful member. Tom could not afford to loose members. Not with all that he had planned for Harry Potter.

And so he started forward now. It did not take long for Tom to find his two followers. He walked down the steps and then stopped. Halfway down the hallway stood a very much naked Eric with Carmen in his arms. At first Tom thought that Carmen was in fact dead. Then he saw her move. Tom sighed. "Take her from here. Never return to my home. Unless you are summoned." Tom looked once m,ore at the woman with scorn and then turned.

Weak... he was so weak. Tom could not believe that he had let a woman enter his life like this one had. He had never let anyone get so close to him and everyone knew, Bellatrix had no hidden her feelings for him lie unnoticed. Tom moved back upstairs and when he reached the top floor, he found the snake waiting for him. "Back to normal." He said to the pet and then the two moved down the hallway towards his office.

[Eric Draven]

Eric was walking woundedly with carmen's almost lifeless body in his hands, when he had seen the dark lord comming towards him. Eric was in pain as was she , as he looked at the dark lord and muttere some words. "My lord..has our lesson been fulfilled?", he asked hi with all seriousness.

"Take her from here. Never return to my home. Unless you are summoned.", he said to Eric as he glanced at Carmen once more and then turned away. "My lord....", Eric asked with hesitaion as he didn't want to push his luck. "May I go to Carmen's room and grab her belonging's as that is what she came here to do?" he muttered.

There was no response from the dark lord, so Eric took it upon himself to find her room and grab her things. He looked at Carmen and tried to get her attention, "Carmen...Carmen honey...where is your room...we need to get you things......CARMEN!!", he shouted at her to get some kind of reaction so they could get the hell out of there.

[Carmen Erickson]

She could hear him calling her name. It was as if he were very far away. Carmen felt sluggish and heavy. Slowly Eric;s voice seemed to get louder until he was screaming her name. Carmen let out a small moan and then her eyes opened and she looked up at him. Eric was carrying her in his arms and her head rested on his very bare chest.

Slowly, everything came back to her and Carmen looked away. Her body began to tremble slightly. Where was her room? He was asking her. Carmen raised one thin arm and pointed upwards. "Top floor." She told him softly. When they reached the third floor, Carmen directed him to her room. Eric placed Carmen gently on her bed and she got her first view of the naked man. Carmen let her eyes move over his muscles and limbs slowly.

Shaking her head, she chastised herself. There were more important things to do right now. Standing was a little tricky. Carmen's vision was a little blurry and her balance was off. She sat once more and then removed the heeled shoes. That helped a little. She did not speak as Carmen moved to the closet and removed a duffal bag. Once she lifted the bag, she lost her balance slightly and fell against the door frame. She steadied herself moments later.

She slowly and clumsily began to move around the room taking her possessions and clothes and the placing them in the bag that was now on her bed. It was only after she was all packed that she thought of Voldemort. Carmen paused looking down. He was jealous. She understood that. No mater how much Voldemort said he wanted her gone, he did not mean it.

"This is not right." She said softly. She glanced at Eric again but she was not really thinking about him. She had a concussion and she was not thinking right. But Eric would have no way to know that. "He's angry at me. I should apologize." This was her fault. She should never have brought Eric here. "I should not have brought my new boyfriend to my ex's house. I should go make amends." She turned towards the door.

[Eric Draven]

Eric was searching for her room since she was able to speak, as he again shouted her name. "CARMEN...WAKE UP...please" he said. "Where is your room?" he asked her again hopeing for a response. He had seen that she had moved slightly, as her eyes opened for a bit and she muttered her answer. "Top floor".

"Really?" Eric responded to her, as he had to go all the way to the top floor buck naked. He started heading towards the staircase while still carying Carmen, since she had passed out again after she spoke. Ericc just wanted to get the hell out of there before the dark lord had changed his mind, and wanted to again play one of his sick games.

Eric finally made it up the stairs and searched for Carmen's room imediatly. He came across a room that resembled her taste. "This must be it!", he said to himself. He went inside and noticed her coat hanging in the corner of the room, as he reconized it from their forst meeting together. He put her on the bed as his arm ws aching so bad, and quickly made his way around her room packing up anything in sight.

He turned around and noticed that carmen was becomming more awake, and was moving around a bit. Eric went over to her imeediatly to give her a hand. She was seriously injured, he could tell that just by her actions as she wanted no assistance. eric watched as he sat up and took off her boots, and stumbly moved towards her closet to pull out her bags. Eric watched as she had fell a bit and wennt over and helped her up.

Eric watched as Carmen obviously wanted to pack her own things by how much she wanted to get up. "Carmen..what can I do here?" he asked her standing there buck naked. He could see her eyes glance at his body and even in that time and place, it still gave Eric a warm feeling. Then came the worst of all things too happen.

"This is not right." she spoke outloud and it shook Eric's eardrums. "What's not right?.." he asked her in confusion. "He's angry at me. I should apologize." Eric could not believe his ears when he heard those words comming from Carmen's mouth. Was she hesitating on leaving him?. Was she rethinking their relationship?. Eric grew furious with her.

"Are you fucking kidding me Carmen" he said to her in a loud tone , as his eyes shifted to a dark red. "Appologize??...for what?? for him setting me after you and try to kill you?..do you not realize what he ha just done and put us through?" he said to her shaking her a bit as he held her shoulders tight.

"I should not have brought my new boyfriend to my ex's house. I should go make amends." She turned towards the door. Eric grabbed her again, "Carmen...we are getting the hell out of here now...what is staying and what is going because I'm ready to get out of here NOW!!", he said to her as he then grabbed her things off the bed, and took her by the hand and dissaparated with her, and got the hell out of that house.
