Memory Lane (Shadow and Holly)

"I suppose it is last resort time..." Shadow muttered.

Holly nodded and took out her wand. She poked her dark mark, which instantly seemed to burn.

Shadow felt her mark burn and snarled slightly.

Holly ignored the pain and looked around, waiting for Voldy to appear.
There was a cracking sound from behind them, and Holly turned.
Instead of seeing Voldemort, all pink and pretty, she saw a Pirate looking man, with a firm hold on Voldemort's shoulder.
Pirate looking man ... Evil had mentioned him. AHA! Smaaaaart.

Shadow groaned. This was not good...

Armen stood up.
"Identify yourselves." He said clearly.

"Yar." the Pirate looking one said.
"Tom." Voldemort whimpered, looking at the wand the Pirate was holding to his temple.
"Holly Bristol." Holly said, not understanding that Armen meant the newcomers.

Shadow got, shakily, to her feet, glaring at the pirate one.
"You gonna leave our friend alone?"

"Friend, yar?" the Pirate asked, looking down at Voldemort, "Strange choice..."
"How did you know they were going to summon me?" Voldemort whined.
"My friend, yar, Evil, yar."
"Would you stop saying that please, you're annoying me!" Holly said.
"Yar..."

Shadow gritted her teeth, and summoned her magic, even through the strain on her energy was evident.
"Let him go."

"In exchange for you two, yar," the Pirate said nodding and looked mostly at Holly, the more helpless one, "Whaddya yar say yar?"

"Leave Holly alone then, and you get me." Shadow said.

"Hey, hey, I didn't agree to any of this!" Holly said looking from the Pirate to Voldemort to Shadow and back again, "If we go anywhere, we're going together. No questions asked. Tough."

"No Holly." Shadow ordered, looking rather scarily like Raven before turning back to Pirate Dude. "You let them go, and you get the harder one to catch without a fight."

Pirate Dude considered for a moment.
".....I need two though yar.... how about I leave shorty, but take you and this one,"
He jerked his head towards Voldemort.
Holly coughed, sounding like Umbridge.
"S'cuse me ... Dont I get a say in this?"

"No." Shadow snapped.
"Fine, leave Holly." She said to the Pirate Dude.

"Y'know someday," Holly said, "You will need me. Like, actually need me, to help you or something ... and Im not gonna be there all because we got seperated at this moment, all cause you had to be decent."

The Pirate hesitated, looking from one to the other.

"Holly, shut up." Shadow said.

"You shut up!" Holly said, hurt.

"Look, who am I taking?" the Pirate said, without a hint of Pirate in his accent, "Im on a tight shift here!"

"You're taking me, and leaving Holly here." Shadow said.

"Right." the Pirate said, "Come here then."
Holly looked in the mood to protest, but Voldemort cut in, "Better one than both...."
"No!" Holly argued, "Look, we should all-"
"Lets go!" the Pirate interrupted, beckoning to Shadow.

Shadow walked forwards to stop in front of Pirate.

"Fine, dont even say bye then." Holly muttered, folding her arms and looking rather child-like.
"Ready to go?" the Pirate asked Voldemort.
Voldemort shrugged.
"I kinda dont get a choice here. Im on the ground with a wand to my head."
"Right you are sweetums."

Shadow was grinding her teeth, thinking of several very painful ways to kill Pirate.

Holly had been distracted by the thought of Pete Wentz and Adam, and so didnt notice Voldemort mouthing something to her.
She made a quizzical look in his direction and realised he was holding his wand out.
Holly took it in one quick gesture, and then looked back at Pirate, totally normally.

"....We're early!" he was saying happily, "We could stop on the way ... by the way, where we're going magic doesnt exist.....Well ... say your goodbyes Voldy."
"Bye." Voldemort said meaningfully to Holly, who nodded.

Shadow was thinking, as usual. She had ideas on how to escape.
