Day 1 – Part 2

~~~

. . . A shadow in the form of a wolf plunging an icy-blue knife into Ruby’s heart. Ruby screamed, and the wolf howled a bone-chilling, truimphant howl, and stepped into the shadows, fading, until it was no longer there.

Nebula stared in horror. All she could do was stare. Even when she heard the sounds of other CBers coming, she remained paralyzed. She could see the scene so vividly, it seemed it was coming back to haunt her again. All she could do was fall, fall, fall back into the memories and darkness.

~~~

“Nebula! Nebula, wake up!”

Nebula opened her eyes, to see the concerned faces of Leeli and Elementgirl. “Ruby,” she croaked.

“She’s, um, uh, dead,” Leeli softly confided.

“Oh, I can see twelve gems. Emerald, sapphire, obsidian, diamond, topaz, a tourmaline, ruby, an amethyst, pearl, an-a-an opal, jade, and a-a piece of jasper. The ruby’s faded as if . . .” Nebula raved on and on in a half-awake trance, soon her eyes glased over and closed, faint sounds of slow breathing emitted.

“She’s shocked,” Elementgirl announced to nobody in particular, “She’ll need to recover.”

~~~

The CBers were gathered in the kitchens, surrounded by house elves offering them tea and biscuits. When Leeli and Elementgirl came down from the hospital wing where Nebula was resting, they were rather disconcerted by the news.

“Somewhere out there, Ruby is floating around in the void,” The Riddler remarked.

This did not add to the optimism of the CBers.

~~~

“So, it appears we have a murderer in our midst. This isn’t exactly surprising, since that happens every time you try to go on a wonderful vacation. This time, I was hoping that all of you would at least have a conscience,” RP sighed.

“Well, you guys have to get informed of where you’re staying anyway. Take your pick of the Slytherin, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff common rooms, the Hufflepuff common room is the pile of barrels, tap on the one nearest to the right in the rhythm of Helga Hufflepuffs name. The Slytherin’s is behind the painting of Merlin in the entrance hall.

~~~

The CBers headed off to their rooms. There was a great scramble to discover what the Hufflepuff room was like, so nobody knew where anyone else was going.

~~~

Aaaaaand . . . I just crushed your hopes and dreams (more like fears and dreads) of Nebula getting murdered

*Blinks*

What??? Wow, that was unexpected. Great writing.

Ah… ski lodges are always so amazing.

Sorry I haven't posted recently. I've been caught up in other things, like making my own M.U.D. game.

Day 2 – Part 1

~~~

The CBers in the Ravenclaw room, and there were quite a lot, woke up to a fresh morning and a dead body. Bookworm stared down at the dead CBer. "Who would do this?" she exclaimed in horror and shock.

The dead CBer was lying on the floor, face down. Bookworm carefully flipped her over with her toe, and more screams came from the Ravenclaws. The CBer's face had been eaten away by a vile liquid, presumably burning oil, or acid.

"Let me through!" RP yelled.

RP stared down at the scene. "Ashfang is dead. Seithr oil," she said, flatly.

"What?" More gasps came from all of the CBers, who were now gathered.

"I think I'm going to faint,"  Treble Clef whispered.

"She isn't lying! Catch her!" came a yell.

Pepper Star lunged forward, only to topple onto Ashfang's body, along with unconscious Treble Clef. "Arggh!" Pepper Star groaned in disgust and disappointment.

"There's been enough business here. Let's go to breakfast," RP announced, quite officially.

~~~

At breakfast, people sat at the Hufflepuff table. They laughed, and joked. In the hospital wing, it was a different story. "Nebula? Wake up! Breakfast," Leeli said.

Nothing happened. Nebula lay there, in a coma. "At least get some water down her throat," Elementgirl sighed.

Nebula had lay there, as if dead. Or, the CBers hoped, in a deep coma. Leeli and Elementgirl were acting as the nurses, trying to get her up, but she just lay there, frozen.

~~~

The murderer slipped out a surgery scalpel. They had easily stolen it from the hospital wing. What a bunch of pathetic mudbloods, they thought. 

They headed to the quidditch field, where the other CBers would be heading in a few minutes. They would be playing a quidditch game, or simply flying on broomsticks. But the murderer knew that two of them would end up on the ground . . .

Sorry I haven't posted for so long!
