everything around me falls apart [ active, open ]
Characters: Fred, open
Time: After the vanishings have begun
Location: going toward central Chicago
Content: This is what Titania had meant?! Oh, and disappearances, too.
Format: Prose
Warnings: Fred's freaking out a little :D
The wanton destruction was damn near terrifying, even for a proud member of Gryffindor House. Fred Weasley raced through the streets of Chicago, eyes wide and wand in hand, surveying the damage.
"Bloody hell," he whispered. It seemed a decent summary of it all. Before him, a building exploded into flames and debris. Another suddenly found itself encased in ice, windows and metal frame alike cracking and shattering into pieces.
This must have been what Titania had meant when she'd said Summer and Winter were on the brink of war. He hadn't even begun to imagine the sheer scale of it, though, and how, exactly, did this factor into his debt? Honestly, he was starting not to care about that anymore in the middle of all this. People were disappearing, for Merlin's sake! And who was to say they were even still alive after they did? He had to find Harry, and Tonks, and Fleur, before they all vanished, too. He had to be sure they were all alright.
A little part of him, way in the back of his mind, wondered if his hand on the clock at home had turned to "mortal peril." Mum would be having a fit about now...
What did I get myself into? Fred wondered. He shoved the thought from his mind a moment later and forced himself to focus on just continuing on and looking for his friends, or someone.
