Traitor {Arden}

[Logan Andrews]

"And I'm offering you my hand, come on, get up," I say, without emotion or infliction in any of the words.
Is this your apology? It's laughable.
No, this is your getting her back on your side. Your compensation for losing your temper.
Shut up and leave me alone for five minutes, both of you.[/i]

[Arden Patricks]

I shake my head again, harder, slowly edging away from him and starting to stand up on shaky legs.
I have to get out of here, I think, inching slowly to the side as if I won't provoke attack until I run. Not that I probably can run at the moment... and the first voice throws out the inane excuse that maybe Logan did that so I'd get used to it, rather than falling apart like the first time I was crucioed. But the rest of my head doesn't buy it, so I continue inching away.

[Logan Andrews]

"Don't walk away from me, Arden," I say, and I'm not sure if it's a warning, or a plea, or a request or an order because once again there is no expression.
This time it's mostly because I can't think what expression it's appropriate to add right now.

[Arden Patricks]

"Or what, you'll curse me again?" I say before I can stop myself, turning toward him.
Don't you stop to chat, just get out of here and far away from him!

[Logan Andrews]

"If I have to," I reply unflinchingly.
No you won't.
Do not tell me what I will and will not do.
Or what? You'll curse the voice inside your head genius?

[Arden Patricks]

I nod, eying him fearfully. "In that case I think I'll keep going," I say half under my breath, still shaky but backing away faster, not wanting to turn my back on him. Like it makes any difference. Going to curse him back? a voice asks with a derisive sort of snort. Not likely.
And besides, you deserved it.
Doesn't mean that I'm sticking around to say something else that will make me deserve it again.

[Logan Andrews]

I don't make any move to draw my wand, despite saying that I would curse her, just watch her back away without saying a word.

[Arden Patricks]

I continue to eye him cautiously as I edge down the stands, tripping over some seats at one point and nearly breaking my neck before finally reaching the bottom and looking one last time.
You know that he didn't mean to hurt you, Arden.
But I'm not taking chances.
And I walk quickly toward the castle.

[Logan Andrews]

I watch her until what I can see of her is completely swallowed by the shadow of the castle, then sit back down.
You've made a mistake, Logan.
Story of your life.
No, I mean a real big one, this time.
