Things you don't want to wake up to.

[Ashley Godfrey]

Ashley had unintentionally fallen sleep in Soleus' arms at is house in his room, blinking as the sunlight crept through his large window pane she sat up as cautiously and slowly as she could without waking Soleus, staring at the door leading out of his room she chewed on her lower lip nervously, she knew he wouldn't want her venturing out into the large house herself but at the same time she was in her fiancé's bed after unintentionally spending the night when she was supposed to meet with her mother in an hour "broomsticks" Ashley mumbled to herself, taking a deep breath she crept out of the silk sheets and slowly tip toed to the door, she was sure she remembered the way out, praying that it was too early for the gruff and intimidating death eaters that lurked through the house, or that perhaps she would run into someone who wasn't interested in hurting the youngest Lestrange's betrothed. She took a deep breath and slipped out of the room streamlining for the first staircase, her steps were light and cautious barely making a sound, she was both grateful and worried by the darkness she was shrouded in the dimly lit house, it wasn't a place she was just going to call out lumos and use as a light drawing in mosquitoes. She rounded the second set of stairs when she heard something, inhaling softly she closed her eyes and bit on her lower lip, standing on the spot she clutched her wand tightly preparing herself for the worst, which is what she got when she cautiously turned the corner and was practically nose to nose with Greyback, Ashley stumbled back quickly and pressed herself against the wall eyes wide in horror, a low growl and twisted smile curved onto Greyback's features "who do we have here?" he asked although it came out as another growl, Ashley stared with wide eyes her mouth opening but no sound coming out, when assigned an essay on werewolves in her 3rd year this particular one popped up through out various texts about his savagery and borderline cannibalism, not to mention his affinity for biting children in hopes of them joining his pack, "I-I'm Ashley Godfrey" she managed to stutter out praying that he would know why she was there, or who she was there for, and that she wouldn't have to attempt to fend herself off with magic, having Fenrir Greyback as a enemy was not that best thing for anyone. Unfortunately for her he didn't appear to be aware of her reason for being there, and took a step in closer to her sniffing at the air like the over grown animal he was, his lips upturned into another sinister smile revealing his sharp teeth, Just as Ashley was about to pull out her wand Greyback was joined by another man, this one much younger and not nearly as intimidating but for all she knew just as threatening, she didn't let go of her wand, "s'all right love" Emmett chimed out as he clasped Greyback on the shoulder with a wrinkling of his nose, Greyback snarled at Emmett then turned back to Ashley "mine" he growled. Emmett chuckled and shook his head "actually she is the youngest Lestrange's fiance but hey if you want to cross Bellatrix Lestrange and the dark lord for contaminating one of the only purebloods we have left be my guest" He cocked an eyebrow at the uncivilized man gesturing to the tiny blonde who stood there with wide eyes, Greyback instantly sunk into his shoulders like a scolded dog and snarled but did retreat and walked off grumbling to himself. As Greyback retreated Ashley sheepishly sunk into her shoulders looking guilty she really should have just stayed with Soleus. Emmett cocked his head to the side with a smirk "you alright?" Ashley snapped herself out of it looked up at the man who saved her "yes I'm fine" she smiled sheepishly "thank you..Mr..." Emmett shook his head "Emmett Avery Jr" he grinned charmingly then his expression faded to serious "you really shouldn't be wandering around here by yourself I'll take you where you need to go" Ashley eyed the man for a moment then softened a friend of hers dated Emmett "thank you" she mumbled shyly looking grateful. Taking a deep breath when she reached the front step of the large home she turned to Emmett once again and thanked him for saving her and helping her find her way out, she apparated as soon as she could and went to her own cheerful an brightly lit home with cupcakes and lacy tablecloths.
