The Beach, Early Morning

It was early morning and Savannah had gone for a run on the beach. She had an intense work-out routine that she kept to and she always ran along the beach at the same time every morning. She liked being out when the sun was first starting to rise over the ocean and she could smell the breeze and feel the ocean spray against her legs.

After the run, she took the time to walk along the beach toward the town so that she could cool off and get her mind focused on her plans for the day.

She certainly didn't expect to feel a force bolt slam into her side and push her towards the water.

Sean strode towards Savannah, hand still up and another force bolt at the ready. There was no way he was letting her get away easily, and certainly not without a fight. He didn't care that she was his sister, not at this moment.

"Hello, Savannah," he greeted levelly.

"Good morning to you, too, Sean."

Savannah didn't let the emotions she was feeling show on her face. This was not altogether unexpected. Painful, but not unexpected. Her own hand clenched at her side, ready to release the force bolt spell she had started when she was first hit.

"So, what, they decided to send you as their bomb to try and take me out in some defiant idea of poetic justice?"

"I volunteered," Sean said. "You're family. Family takes out family, that's how it should be."

She was his responsibility. If he couldn't help her, then... well, best not think of that. It hurt too much.

"You look good, by the way. Evil apparently agrees with you."

"And you Nasts are all about family, aren't you?" Savannah couldn't help the bitterness in the tone. "You just don't like it that Umbridge and her people took me and accepted me for everything I am. They made me feel like I was a part of a family."

She shrugged. "I keep in shape every day."

"You're fucked up, Savannah," Sean said. "Your own mother is in detention, do you even give a damn about that?"

"Gods, save me the morality speeches, Sean. If Eve were out here, she would tell you the same thing."

Sean opened his mouth to say something else; what came out was song.

Savannah, at last,
We see each other plain
`M'sieur le Mayor,'
You'll wear a different chain!

Oh, damn the island. Damn it all to hell.

Savannah would have laughed, but she found herself singing, too.

"Before you say another word, Sean Nast
Before you attack me like a villain again
Listen to me! There is something I must do.
These people are suffering children
There is none but me who can intercede,
In Umbridge's name, a few days are all I need.
Then I'll return, I pledge my word.
Then I'll return..."

This was so not how her day was supposed to be going.

You must think me mad!
I've hunted you across the years
Women like you can never change
A woman such as you.

Sean really, really hated the island right now. Even more than he usually did.

Savannah brought her hands up to let loose the spell she had been conjuring up. However, before she could fire it off at him, she started singing again.

"Say of me what you will
This is a duty that I'm sworn to do
You know nothing of my life
All I did was strive for the light
You know nothing of the world
You would sooner see me dead
But not before I see this justice done
I am warning you Sean Nast
I'm a stronger witch by far
There is power in me yet
My race is not yet run
I am warning you Sean Nast
There is nothing I won't dare
If I have to kill you here
I'll do what must be done!"

She managed to throw a force bolt spell at him before she was forced to sing again.

The force bolt hit Sean square in the chest, knocking him back several feet. He managed to fire one off in response before he was singing again.

Men like me can never change
Women like you can never change
No,
24601
My duty's to the law - you have no
Rights
Come with me 24601
Now the wheel has turned around
Savannah Levine is nothing now
Dare you talk to me of crime
And the price you had to pay
Every man is born in sin
Every man must choose his way
You know nothing of Nast
I was born inside a jail
I was born with scum like you
I am from the gutter too!

Oh, he was so getting drunk as all hell later. Really, really drunk.

Sean's attack threw her down onto the beach and damn it, she was not getting killed in the water by her damn brother. She just wasn't. The water was her peace, not her grave.

She managed to get back to her feet and reacted with a knock back spell.

"And this I swear to you today...."

Sean stumbled and went down, falling flat on his back even as he fired off a knock back spell of his own that went wild and missed his target.

"There is no place for you to hide"

Savannah managed to dodge out of the way of Sean's spell and send another at him.

"Your fate is one more will share..."

"Wherever you may hide away"

Sean was struggling to his feet, before getting hit by her spell and getting knocked back down again. This was not how this was supposed to go!

Savannah shot out her hands to attack Sean with the suffocation spell she had been readying.

Of course, she wasn't going to be allowed to attack him without singing one last verse it seemed.

"I swear to you, I will be there!"

After the last note of the song, the suffocation spell snapped around Sean from his throat up. She would feel really bad about killing him later.

Sean's hands scrabbled at his throat, even though the logical part of his brain knew that it wouldn't help. The not so logical part of his brain was just grateful that he wasn't singing anymore.

"No!"

The scream tore from Annja's throat even as she was scrambling down the rocks away from where she had been hiding. As she ran toward Sean, she summoned her sword and pulled a knife form the sheath at her hip. She paused only long enough to aim and throw the knife at Savannah before she was running to Sean again.

The spell broke and suddenly Sean could breathe again. He was torn between gasping for breath and staring at Annja. She'd been watching them? For how long?

It didn't matter how long she had been watching, what mattered was that the second knife that appeared in her hand was making its way at Savannah to pair up with the first one. As soon as she saw Sean move and the second knife hit Savannah in the shoulder, she was grabbing Sean and tugging at him. She knew the first knife had distracted the witch when it sliced against her side, but it had only done enough damage to cause Savannah to drop the spell. Annja knew that they had only a short amount of time before the witch recovered and attacked again.

Sean struggled to his feet, clutching at Annja. "Get me out of here," he rasped. "Now. Before I do something utterly stupid."

Annja could have retorted that he had already done something stupid, but instead, she wrapped one arm around him and started tugging him up the beach to her escape route, Her sword was flashing as she kept it going in an arc to deflect any spells that might be thrown at them.

Sean had just enough strength at this point to throw up a shield spell around them as they moved. "Am I allowed to pass out once we get home?" he asked, entirely serious about the matter.

Savannah let them go, busy with pulling the knife out of her shoulder so that she could slow the bleeding until she could get the wound taken care of.

She had learned something from this fight, thought. Sean wanted her dead and she was truly capable of killing him to protect herself. The thought alone made her feel sick as she turned to return to the town.

The next time she saw Sean, one of them would die. She could feel that within every fiber of her being.
