Acquintance [Keegan]

[Shelby Crescent]

"You know Draven, the kid can go anywhere if he's trapped underneath me." she smirks down to Keegan, giving him a wink as if to say that they would be in this predicament again. "Draven... I think you should let me go. You're hurting Shelby and we wouldn't want that would we?" she adds a few seconds later as she looked back towards him, kissing his cheek lightly. "You know you two could share. You could have Shelby Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Keegan Monday, Wednesday and Friday. What do you say?"

A weak smile appeared on Keegan's face as Ruby winked at him. What? He couldn't help it. It was those crazy, eighteen year-old hormones. If anything, he would definitely blame those. To be honest, he couldn't even remember how he had gotten into this predicament in the first place. Actually, it probably wouldn't have even been a predicament if Draven hadn't bursted in at the wrong moment. A crazed grin made its way onto his features a moment later, liking the way she was thinking. "Yeah Drave, what do you say?" He draped his hand around Ruby's waist, giving her a little squeeze.

This time, his jaw did drop. All he could do was stare at the two of them in shocked horror. What was wrong with them? Well, obviously Rubalyn already had something wrong with her, he knew what from the beginning. But now she had gotten some kind of sick, crazy ideas into his brother's head. Ones that definitely didn't belong there. Like the fact of the two of them sharing his wife. "You're sick." There was no emphasis in his voice whatsoever, "Both of you. You're both sick." Share her? Shelby was his wife, dammit. And even though she slept around, he wouldn't let anybody else have her willingly.

At that moment, he didn't know what else to do. The only option he was thinking of was just a sacrifice he was going to have to make. Draven closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Imperio." He muttered, and a dark spark jutted out of his wand, pointed right at Ruby.

Ruby smiles a little at Keegan, when she felt his hand wrap around her waist. Just twenty minutes with him and he was already under her spell, not literally but still. "She's not your wife anymore love. Remember? You were supposedly dead and well. That makes you two not married." she says with a nod before feeling him take control of her. She tries to move her arms or anything for that matter but nothing was moving. Now Ruby was under his spell, literally.

[/literally]

[Keegan Slayter]

It was true. Keegan had barely known this woman (though technically it was Shelby's body, and he had known her for quite a few months now) for more than twenty minutes. Of course, he wasn't even thinking about this currently. If anybody wanted an explanation, all they had to see was the fact that he was a Slytherin. And the fact that Ruby was a Slytherin. It was just automatically natural for Keeg to get along with her.

"Hey!" Keeg shouted at his brother. His eyes grew wide at the sound of the words escaping Draven's mouth. The Imperious curse was, well, forbidden. And he certainly wouldn't have expected his own goody-goody brother to use one of them.

[Draven Slayter]

This was insanity. Well, of course it had been from the beginning. But the part about Keegan and Rubalyn wasn't what he was talking about. It was as if he had stepped outside his body for a moment, and looked in at the scenario before himself. What was he doing? He just used an unforgivable curse on someone, and even though it was Rubalyn, it was still wrong. His eyes flashed to his younger brother. His poor, naive younger brother, who wouldn't have understood even if he wanted to.

Draven flicked his wand, and Shelby (well, Rubalyn) moved over to another chair in the room. Another flick, and all of her clothes flew back on. He sat himself down in a different chair, opposite hers. That was all he did. He could do nothing else but sit and stare.

That is, up until she had to open her bloody mouth again. Rubalyn was a master at provoking someone, she wanted a rise out of the person. Draven knew this, and reacted anyway, because it was the only thing he could think of to do. "Shut up!" He screamed at her, flicking his wand and sending her soaring backwards across the room. Drave watched with no empathy as she hit the wall with her back.

{i think it might be a good idea to bring Shell back now? Lol}

[Shelby Crescent]

What the fuck.... my back really hurts. What happened now."
Shell blinks her eyes a few times, her vision coming to but still slightly blurry. Looking around she was on the floor, all sprawled out. Trying to move to her feet to see what was going on, she screams out in pain her hands instantly flying to her back. "Fucking Merlin!" she whines, as the tears were already making their way down her pale face.

"Someone, help. I need to go to St. Mungo's. Now!" she yells, finally seeing Draven and Keegan sitting or standing there as she continued to cry and hold her back. It felt as if someone had thrown her against the wall with a great amount of force intentionally. Just trying to move her legs and causing that small motion to surge pain throughout her body, mainly her back made her think something had to have broke.

[Keegan Slayter]

At this point, Keegan suddenly felt like a very small child. It was if it had finally hit him that he was messing with things far more powerful than he thought. Seeing Draven this way had really opened his eyes to the whole situation. Draven, in the short months that Keegan had known him, was a very calm and level-headed guy. Something big and important obviously must have provoked him for him to turn around and change completely, like he had now. For a moment, it left Keeg awestruck. All he could do was sit back and watch his brother work the curse in silence. His eyes shifted from his brother back to Ruby, almost as if he were in some sort of trance.

Almost immediately after she hit the wall was when Keegan snapped out of it. His eyes grew wide at the shock of everything that was being absorbed into his brain. "Shit!" He mouthed, frantic eyes flickering from Draven to Ruby. Once more, his eyelids pulled back, revealing wide eyes that looked at the crumpled girl on the floor. Flying off the couch, he knelt down by Ruby, "Jesus, are you alright?" Glaring eyes flicked back up to his brother, "Christ, kill her, why don't you?"

[Draven Slayter]

The past few moments were quite literally silence. It was as if Draven had gone deaf. For a brief second, all of his other senses were heightened to a razor-sharp point. He could feel the tension in the air like electricity running through the tips of his fingers; he squinted his eyes; the light in the room seemed too bright. And as sudden as the peculiar event occured, with a snap it disappeared. Sound flooded back into his ears like a gushing faucet, nearly causing him to wince at the intensity of volume. All he could do was take in the frantic noises around him: Shelby's cries of pain and Keegan's shouts of worry.

Eerily, Draven was still in that calm-like state. In what felt like a giant step, he slid almost fluidly toward Shell. Clapping a hand on Keegan's shoulder, he gave him an extremely stern look and growled, "Upstairs. Now." His attention flipped back to Shelby, who lay moaning in agony. Oddly enough, his wand was still clasped in his hand, knuckles snow-white from the tight grip. "I'm apparating you to St. Mungo's." Was all he said to her, pointing his wand at her for what had to be at least the third time tonight, not that she knew it.
