Fin was working the bar, and actually smiling for once. He had a date, with the most beautiful woman he knew. He had made a promise to Maureen that he would take her to get new robes, and the like. He never could have guessed what was going on at the school at this moment. What at this instant was happening to his sister. Had he known, he would not be standing there, smiling, and laughing. It was the perfect night, he had spent the time before opening talking with Ana, and relaxing, just biding time until he could see his sister. Looking up he saw Ana on the stage singing, and smiled as she blew him a kiss. However this merriment, and happiness could never last it was not, it would never last, not for Finley O'Brien. Not for the man cursed such as he was.
When the doors of the Underground flew open, and someone started shouting, Fin drew his pistol, and leveled it then froze in place."And tortured Maureen... Maureen something. I can't remember. Please, help." Th words that just assaulted his ears. He couldn't move, couldn't breath, it had to be a mistake, he misheard. "And tortured Maureen..." Fin felt every eye in the bar turn to him, the staff, and most of the regulars knew what this mean, and to just seem him standing there unable to move, it was like he was frozen. "And tortured Maureen..." The glass in his left hand slipped from his fingers and shattered on the ground. The gu in his right hand seemed to tumble from his grip, and onto the bar top. He couldn't breath the words echoing in his head, this girl hadto be lying, it had to be a trick. Why couldn't he move!? No matter what he did it felt like he was trapped in mud and couldn't get away.
Just then an owl flew through the open door and landed, Fin seemed able to move again at the presence as he snatched from the bird and read it carefully. Aedan's hand writing. It confirmed what he had been told, and Fin felt his legs collapse under him, crumbling to the ground on-top if the glass. Slowly he stood, and gripped the bar, "I... I need to get to her...." It was all he could manage before he was gone.
