Ready to Pounce

[Adira Ater]

Adira lurked in the Shadows at the entraces to bleak street she knew atleast one of her brothers had to be leaving bleak street soon, she would be ready to scare him.
Decked out in her Green Skinnys, Black Converse and Deep Purple ripped shirt tied up in the front as usual, Adira wore her Dark Green Cloak with the hood up so her brothers wouldn't notice her if they saw her, she would seem like an average bleak street lurker she waited for her prey to emerge.

 

[Audel Lesley]

Audel swept past the usual undesirables in Bleak Street as he neared the entrance to Brightstone village. Some moaned at him for a Knut or two, but he simply continued to walk. The smell of cast-out mudblood was everywhere, and he couldn't help but wrinkle his nose slightly as he swept his cloak out of their clutches. Audel resolved to one day hire a pair of 'street cleaners' to remove the filth of society from the alleyways. It was bad for business.

He was not expecting to see anyone he knew around here, nor was he expecting an attack or suchlike. His father was the only one whose bad books he had gotten into, and there was no point crying over spilt milk. That chapter was done. So he was relatively unprepared for what was coming his way from a very vindictive sister. Audel had always been the least prepared of all of his brothers for fight, but that didn't mean that he would hesitate to turn his wand on one of his own. A good hex would do some of his siblings some good. Now he moved into the shadows as he entered upon the sunlit streets of Brightstone, and blended in well with the wall in his dark jacket and cloak.

 

[Adira Ater]

Adira saw her eldest brother move out of bleak street, Perfect.
She grabbed her wand out of her pocket and moved behind him, she was getting quite tall now she was atleast just passing Audel's Shoulder.
Adira Jumped behind Audel and Wrapped her arm around his throat, her Cold Aura surrounding him as she pushed the tip of his wand into his throat.
Adira made her Voice was low and sounded like an old hag, "Don't Try anything sweet's if you know whats good for you, i was looking for a nice peice of man Candy like you, were going to have some fun" she said.

 

[Audel Lesley]

Suddenly, every hair on his body stood on end, and Audel felt that he wasn't as alone as he had anticipated. He made a half turn but found himself in a headlock with a wand jammed into his jugular. Then came a hideous voice in his ear, and Audel winced, his heart thumping like a jackrabbit's. His first instinct was to panic, his second was to keep silent and the third was already in motion before the first and second had even reconfigured themselves.

Audel's fingers snapped up like a snake's and jabbed the wand hand that threatened him. He didn't wait to see if their grip was relinquished before his right arm swung around and gripped the person around the waist and swung them around to face him. The voice had been husky but distinctly female, and the waist he had grabbed was too slender to be a male's. He had no time to pull his wand out so he simply pushed the female down, dragging himself after her as her arms were still locked around his neck. They were both on the ground, Audel reached out wrap his hand around the girl's neck before...

"Adira!" he yelped, before regaining his composure. "You little brat!"

 

[Adira Ater]

Adira Felt Audel Move and she tensed up a bit ready for something. She Felt him grab her wrist which was holding the wand and wrap his arm around her waist.
Once he pushed her down and reached to wrap his hand around her neck she laughed.
He realised who she was, she Pulled herself up and tucked her wand back in her pocket. she smirked "i got you, and i'm not going to let you forget it" she said.

 

[Audel Lesley]

Audel swore under his breath as he pushed himself to his feet. He did not offer her a hand up but simply continued on his way, muttering about 'Annoying little sisters.' It was true that the brothers had spent almost every moment since Adira was born teasing her mercilessly, but it seemed that she had finally learned to give as good as she got. Audel found himself being caught between pride and irritation. "Next time you try that, I'm going to hex your forehead to a door so it'll knock some sense into you every time someone opens it," he told her firmly, giving her an exasperated look as he turned around.

"And what the heck are you wearing?" said Audel, stalking over to pull the knot on her shirt down to cover her stomach. "Little babies like you shouldn't be showing so much skin, otherwise they'll take you back to kindergarten." Audel cast a baleful eye over the ripped material. "Or the pound,". He reached up to mess her hair up, which he new she hated, and smirked at his little sister.

 

[Adira Ater]

Adira looked at him when he tried to warn her "Bring it big Boy" she said smiling darkly at him and patted his stomach.
Adira knew that all her life her brothers would be out to get her, but just wait, one day she would get them all back horribley.

Adira looked at when Audel Pulled her shirt down, she Snarled at him and quickly kicked him in the shin swiftly hoping to hit him. Beofre she tied her shirt up again "Piss off" she said swiftly. Knowing that having her shirt down wouldn't make a difference, there were alot of rips over the stomach anyway.
"Should i tell Dad about you calling me a baby, he would show you what being a baby was really like... ey" she said smiling before she pulled out her wand and tapped it on his nose. "Unfortunatly i can't use magic outside of school yet, but just wait" she said "but i don't need Magic" she said as she went to give him a round house kick right at the head and stopped before she hit him.

 

[Audel Lesley]

Audel simply shook his head at her. He didn't like being touched in the slightest, but he would just barely tolerate being patted by his little sister, especially after what was being implied. Adira managed to kick him directly in the shin, and he scowled deeply at her, shaking his leg out a bit. "Maybe I should tell our father about the smart mouth you've been developing lately, and perhaps how you dress like a cross between a french maid and a hobo."

He batted her wand away casually as if swatting a fly, but a rush of air warned him to a greater threat. He threw his arm out instantly to catch her leg, but she had pulled her kick at the last moment and remained, poised there. Audel pressed his finger to the sole of her foot and pushed, sending her stumbling back. "I'd prefer not to bully you until you begged for mercy, sister, but do remember that there's more than one of me," he smiled slyly, shaking his head to himself. "Now why don't you head back out to look for fairies or something, pull the wings off them or whatever you normally do. I have work to do." Audel's cloak rippled slightly as he spoke, and he turned to leave.

 

[Adira Ater]

Adira smirked "Go on Tell him, he won't care, he knows what i look like, better then you" she said as she glanced at his clothes.
Adira's Father Adored her, Only Daughter, completely dark whats not to love.

When Audel pushed her back she put her foot down to balance and not fall over. "I can handle all of you Big Boy" she said "Why would i go and look for Fairies when i can take you now" she said "pull your head out of the clouds" she added.

 

[Alden Ater]

Alden was, for the first time in his life, going for a walk without being yelled at to do so. Well, ok.. He was out food tasting. But still, at least he was walking? It was on this very walk that he heard the two voice of his brother and sister. they must be at it again he groaned to himself with a slight roll of the eyes. Well... better go see what going on. With a sigh he moved down to where the voices were coming from.

As he moved closer he only gained snippets of the conversation but caught onto Adira's interesting use of vocabulary. A slight chuckle escaped him as he stopped besdie his younger sister. "Come come kiddies, play nice?" his voice had a layer of humor to it as he said this. His eyes flickered to his angered brother for a moment. "Oh, did miss the notice for 'Taunting Audel Day'?" The humorous smile never left his face as he said these comments yet you could still see his slight boredom just underneath it.

 

[Audel Lesley]

As soon as Alden arrived, Audel's mood mellowed and he paused in his exit. Finally he turned and decided to acknowledge Adira again. "Every day is tease Audel day, remember?" he sighed to Alden, and nothing on his face showed that he was glad to see his brother, even though it was so. "You would've been saying the same things had she leaped out at you from the shadows, like the rat she is," Audel grinned as he ruffled Adira's hair energetically again. "Kitten's finally grown claws, and we're going to have to sharpen them." said Audel, though the pride in his voice was kept well hidden. "I think we just need to point them in the right direction," he said as he discreetly rubbed his sore shin.

Audel folded his arms and regarded his siblings with the usual impassive and absent look. Adira was becoming such a pain in her early teens, but he could still see potential lurking in her actions. Calculated revenge was a good sign, as well as a good kick, however if she continued to practice on him he'd eventually end up hexing her.

 

[Adira Ater]

Adira looked at Alden when he appeared and smiled, Finally someone with some sense had arrived.
Adira had to agree, "Yeah its always Tease Audel day" she said slyly.
"I'm not a Rat, or a Kitten" she said she she folded her arms. and scowled at Audel. before she fixed her hair again and put her hood back on which had fallen off before to hide her face, Her Emerald Green eyes still rages brightly from under the shadow of her good.

"Yeah i hope that hurts" she said as she gestured at Audel's shin.

 

[Alden Ater]

Alden watched with a chuckle as Adira went back on the offensive against his brother. As he chuckled he slowly brought out a packet filled with sweets, ok to be more truthful it was a back, and tried to discreetly eat them. Of course he failed at this and just looked like a little kid by trying. Alden had noticed his brother rubbing his shin and realized adira must have hurt it when she made her comment.

"Adira, lets not beat up poor Audel.. He has a tough time this poor guy" Alden couldn't seem to keep his serious voice for the entire sentence and the humor once more seeped through. "Anyway.. can't we go home? I've been walking around for aaages and there hasn't been a decent meal in town" Alden put on abit of a pouty face to the both of them.

 

[Audel Lesley]

Without another word, Audel reached onto his business coat pocket and removed a perfectly wrapped raspberry pudding cake that seemed to be calling Alden's name. It was always suspiciously convenient that Audel always seemed to have food on him whenever Alden wanted it, but neither brother questioned the serendipity. When Alden was hungry, Audel had food. Perhaps it was the fortune of being a chef; Audel always had his newest creation within reach.

Audel simply shook his head at his siblings, rolling his eyes outwardly but cursed inwardly. His siblings were relentless with their teasing, and he honestly believed that one day he'd drop his gentlemanly manner and simply Crucio them all. "I've got somewhere else to be other than home at the moment. Adira can slink off to a homeless shelter or wherever else she finds those ridiculous outfits." Audel resisted the urge to massage his temple. At the end of a long day, the interruption had been the last thing that he needed.

 

[Adira Ater]

Adira rolled her eyes when Alden said that he was hungry. "i'm surprised that your not Fat" she joked.
When Audel said that he has to be somewhere else other than home, and that she can go slink off into a homeless shelter.
"Oi" she said as she walked over to him as if she was going to yell at him some more, but once she got close enough she swiftly tried to kick him in the shin again, and hoped that it hit him again.
"These aren't ridiculous, your bloody ridiculous" she said.

 

[Alden Ater]

Alden's eyes suddenly widened as his brother, as usual, pulled out something for him to eat. If there was one sibling he relied on most, it was his chef of a brother Audel. It's true he teased him a fair but, but nit was always lazy, rarely harmful and always in good humor. Alden slinked over to Audel and took the perfectly wrapped packet out of his hands. "You know that question the muggles always ask.. 'If you were trapped on a desert island and could only bring one thing with you, what would it be?'", Alden paused for a moment to unwrap and pop the pudding into his mouth contentedly. "I believe it would be you my dearest brother, No offense Adira" He noted quickly as this.

When Adira went to kick Audel once more Alden quickly moved in the way of the attack, easily using his palm to turn the kick off to the side and send her off balance. However useless muggles may be, their fighting teachings were worthwhile at some points in life, "Must we...really?" Most of the humor had faded away from his voice to be replaced by the boredom that came with breaking up a fight.

 

[Audel Lesley]

"You're got a crumb on your cheek," remarked Audel boredly in reply. Secretly he was slightly flattered, but if it wasn't for his fortuitous ability to create food from just about anything, then he'd be back at home while Alden took a refrigerator instead. "I could probably pull cake out of a coconut," he mumbled to himself, shaking his head at his own ridiculous talent.

Audel stepped back as soon as Adira came forward, but he needn't have bothered; Alden stepped in himself (with his cheeks stuffed like a squirrel's) and turned her attack away in a disinterested fashion. However, Audel's hand was itching towards the wand stashed on his inside coat pocket, longing to at least put a body bind on Adira who had pushed him that little bit too far today. His head twitched once, and he turned away again to stalk up the street. If she did not leave him alone this time, Audel would probably resort to base violence or suchlike. He really was rather busy, and didn't have time for her stunts.

As he walked away from his siblings, Audel quietly removed a thin scroll of parchment which he scanned carefully. He was just close enough for his siblings to spot a map, dotted with several glowing red markers and revolving script. It looked oddly clinical to the point of appearing from the government but of course it wasn't. Whatever the case, Audel was never spotted with more than a cookbook, and he tucked it away too quickly for it to be anything less than important.

 

[Adira Ater]

Adira looked at Alden and then Back to Audel and scowled "Oi" she said at Alden when he blocked her kick.
"you suck you know that" she said

When Audel walked off she shot a glance at Alden, before looking back at Audel who held something out, she Quickly lurked into the shadows again she snuck right infront of Audel just as he pocketed the parchment "what was that?" she said as she looked at him.
