Bellatrix Knight sat cross-legged on her sofa, drinking some hot tea. She had been thinking a lot lately, and was giving her brain a break by watching some well deserved telivision. The show was a American show, 'How I Met Your Mother' and it was hilarious. She was ready to double over laughing on the inside, but not letting that effect her on the outside. And while she was keeping a cool composure, and laughing in her mind, she was also stay etremely alert. Her wand was right under her cloak, and she had learned some new spells. She was prepared.

//Prepared...?//
Shane walked up to the door of the house, sighing. It seemed like forever since he had last seen Bellatrix, but it really wasn't that long. He didn't really remember what had happened: just that she had found out about the whole murderer thing...that hadn't gone so well. He knocked on the door, wondering how she would take seeing him again, if she even wanted to, and if she would hex him the moment she opened the door.

She jumped, not used to hearing the door being knocked on. She cautiously walked towards the front door, wand at the ready for some murderer. She looked out the peep hole to see Shane. She sghed, and open the door. "You almost gave me a freakin heart attack!" She said, in a harsh whisper, opening the door enough for him to walk inside. //Prepared for some killer after her because she learned too much. Paranoia//

//Ah...I knew that.//
"Sorry," Shane said, and he wasn't just talking about knocking. As he stepped into the house, he added, "So...about the whole mass murderer thing..." he trailed off, wondering why he hadn't sugar coated the sentence. Yeah, that's easy: So, about the whole thing I told you about last time involving Azkaban and Avada Kedavra... he thought sarcastically. "Well...uh...I quit," he said simply. He was still jumpy after the experience. All he had done was sent an owl to his 'employer' saying that he was done. She hadn't responded yet. And it was more than likely that her response would involve a few killers.

Her eyes widened. "So...you just, uh, walked up to her and, just flat out quit?" She asked, not believing that for a second. The way he talked about that witch, she was worse than Voldemort....not that she really knew. She wasn't born until after the whole Voldie thingy, but still. She crossed her arms, and looked around, making sure he wasn't followed or something. Basically so she wasn't just standing in the entry way doing nothing.

Shane glanced nervously out the door, but no one was there. "Well, no. I owled her, actually..." he admitted. "She hasn't sent me a response yet, so I don't know how she's gonna take it. But...to be honest...I doubt she's gonna take it all that well," he added. "So...I might...you know...not be around after a while," he said slowly, trying to steer clear of the one word that he was hinting at: dead. Shane glanced up at Bellatrix, looking in her eyes for a reaction.

She wanted to do....something. She felt so close to him, yet like she never met the real him. She waited for the tears, yet she felt like she couldn't cry, for her options weren't all gone. She grabbed his hand, and dragged him to the couch. First, she kissed him. "We can trust each other, right?" Not waiting for an answer, she said, "You can go into hiding. That's what your gonna do. We can hide you in America. Like, Texas. No one would suspect Texas. And I will go with you, and we can get an apartment, in the capital, so it will be harder to find us and we can make a quick escape."

Shane felt like his head was in a fog. Not only had she kissed him, but right after that she had plunged into rapid speech. He simply nodded dumbly, not quite sure exactly what she had said, but understanding the overall idea. "Texas...America...apartment. OK," he said, then realized what that meant. "You're going to leave your whole life to go to a foreign country with an almost stranger that lied to you and is wanted by assassins?" he asked, finally able to put words together into sentences and complete thoughts.

She looked down. This had not been thought through. She was never the type of person to really think things through. "Do you trust me?" She asked, looked up at him, grabbing his hand. She knew things would be fine, they just had to lay low. After that she knew she was lieing to herself. What would you do if you knew you and this stranger that you really liked, found out that you had a small amount of time left?

"Yeah," Shane said after a second. It was hard to say. Trust had never been his thing. Never. He hadn't even trusted his family. And here was this person, practically a stranger, that he could honestly say he trusted. Weird. "But..." he continued. "If something happens and I tell you not to get involved, you have to listen," he said, scrutinizing her carefully and hoping she wouldn't protest. He didn't want any more innocent blood to be shed on his account. He was done with that.

"What, like leave you alone? No. I am now just as much involved in it as you. Or at least, most of it." She said, squeezing his hand, trying to reassure him. "I don't care if I die anymore. I'm living in the now, and I have decided that I...really like you." She couldn't say it. She was ready to actually slap herself. How could she not say it? "I mean, I think I love you, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life, wondering if I should have stayed with you."

//Don't worry. I'm reading a 'horror' story that turns out to have some romance in it...So I'm along the same line of thinking recently. lol//
Shane almost laughed and said, 'Yes, Madam Corny.' But he resisted the urge, knowing she was fully serious; the time for jokes was long gone. Sighing, Shane thought over her response and tried to think of a way he could change her mind, at least a little compromise. Finally, he came up with something.
"You can come with me. I'll be glad if you do...but, if it comes down to a duel between me and either her or one of her workers, I want you to remain invisible if at all possible. If they can...can take me out, they won't think anything of one more person," he said simply. He made a mental note about her admitting to something more than affection, but wasn't sure if he could return the feeling...not yet. He had to know before he said something as serious as 'love'.

//Lol. Horror.....got it....*laughs*//
She listened, and wanted to protest some more, but decided against it. She could just jump in at the last minute, she could just blame instinct and adrinalin or something...She sat back on the couch. "Do you want to pack up and leave now?" She asked, looking back at the front door. "I don't think we exactly are swimming in time." She wondered what she could bring. A bunch of clothes, a lot of her money. "I want to have a secret name. I want to be....Charlie Brown...wait, its taken. How about Charlie Jones. You can be John Tucker." She said, jokingly.

"Must die?" Shane asked, recognizing the name from some movie. "You know, this person DOES have a sense of humor. She would probably look into that name just because it's something I would use...No, something even more discreet. How about...you be Emma or Margaret or Jane or something common like that...I'll be John or Brandon. Then we need last names...Smith and Johnson?" he asked, laughing slightly at the idea of anyone being name Emma Smith or John Johnson...that's about as common as you could get.

"Or Kaitlin, its a very popular name. But I want to be Jane Smith. I'm married to Captain John Smith." She said, proudly. "I actually love that movie. We will have to watch it on the plane ride over or something. Wait, are we apperating? Like does she monator the apperation lines for fun?" She asked, smiling. She didn't really think she had enough money for a plane ticket, either. "Oh, and you should totally be Connor Johnson. Very popular name, Connor." She always loved the name Connor.

//I would pick Connor, but I rp a Connor and that would get confusing. lol//
"Sorry, but no. I knew a Connor once, and we didn't get along all that well. How about Matt?" he asked. "Matthew Johnson..." he added, considering the name. "And I doubt she would monitor the Apparations, if that's even possible. But...I've never Apparated overseas," he said sheepishly, looking down. "Would you be pretending to be married?" he thought of suddenly, fully taking in what she had first said.

She slapped his arm playfully. "I was jokin'! I don't think I would want to marry John Smith, he did too much traveling on dangerous boats. One of them could have crashed, and I might have been up the spout with his child....not the life for me. I much prefer the life of running away from an evil lady, out to kill." She said, smiling sarcastically.

"Wow, am I perfect or what?" Shane asked, just as playfully. Suddenly he turned serious and said, "OK, I'm Matthew Johnson and you're...Jane Smith?" he asked, making sure. "You should probably start packing if you're sure you want to go through with this..." he added, giving her a look that clearly said that if she came, she better be ready for one helluva ride. And if she didn't, he could handle it. Probably.

She turned serious with him. "I'm fine with it. I pretty much came up with the idea, if we are being straight forward." She joked. "But, seriously, I'm with you." She said, squeezing his hand a last time before running to her room. "What do you think I should pack?" She asked from the next room over, her bedroom.

"Clothes, money, and small items with sentimental value," Shane said expertly, as if he had done this many times before. Which, of course, he had. Running from the law did that for a person. "Avoid too much metal, because if we take a plane and you have something in a pocket or anything like that, it takes forever," he added, shuddering at a memory. Never again would he attempt to go near Washington D.C. by plane...
"Don't bring anything that will draw attention. Jeans and t-shirts are good, maybe some dresses and skirts. Jackets if you have any you want to bring, otherwise we can buy them there." He had pretty much summed up the answer.

She looked around the room. Quickly changing into some jeans and a light sweater, she threw some clothes into a small suitcase. "Are you packing, or can yuo see the future, and saw that we are leaving, so you already packed?" She asked, while grabbing some make up and putting it in the case. She looked around and found a picture of her family, put it in there, but looked back at it.
Quickly, she grabbed some paper, writing down a note. Dear Mum and Dad, I love you guys. I just had to run away. I might be back soon, but I'm not sure. It's like a vacation. I will be out of range, so you can contact me, so I can't give you any numbers. Ummm, I hope you guys know how much I love ya'll! Oh, and I'm taking the spare key, so I'm sorry but yo can't come into me house. I just didn't want those stupid robbers that have been going up and down my street to get in while I'm gone. Tell Robbie I love him, too! Laters! Love, Bellatrix Knight
After sending that by a flick of her wand, she stuffed some more needs. She grabbed her purse, and a couple of book and magazines, ready to leave. "I got the money out of my dresser, but I have more in the muggle ATM machines, and some in Gringotts."

"I packed all ready...although I thought I would be going alone, so my clothes are mostly just casual," Shane said, watching as she scribbled a note and sent it. He felt a sudden heart wrenching emotion when he realized that she had a family. Like a real family. Parents, grandparents, maybe brothers and sisters and pets. That had never been part of his life.
Looking at the floor, Shane nodded even though he wasn't really listening. "OK, I all ready have all my money, so if you want to go to Gringott's, I think we have time," he said, picking up that part of the conversation.

"It won't do us much good. Gold isn't something an average muggle has, and we don't want to be in the wizarding world." She said smartly. "We want to lie low for awhile, right?" She said, not really knowing if the American wizards had any idea who Shane was along with his past.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. She might have some people in America..." Shane trailed off, wondering how he had ever gotten himself into this. He wondered if she might even just let him go. Then this would all be for nothing. Shane almost laughed. Yeah, that's definitely gonna happen, he thought sarcastically, shaking his head slightly.

"What?" She asked, looking at his smiling face shaking. She stood at the doorway to her bedroom. "I think my parents are going to think I'm writing a suicide note instead of a note saying that I'm running off to America. Which, I didn't tell them anything in case the evil lady finds out I'm with you, and that my parents have information." She smiled at her smartness.
