Once the mind of the being realized Zara's nose was in her business, the monster started to press back. Her thoughts spewed out and literally filled the room, shrouding the woman in every evil little token. Zara's body jerked and started to spasm as it rejected the dark creature. Her eyes darted to the young girl and she heard the little girl practically screaming in her head. Squeezing her eyes shut, she leaned against the wall and tried to steady her breathing. She didn't want to scare the young girl any more than she already was. Besides, at this point, Zara was pretty sure she was the only one who knew about the mother's death.

She slowly made her way over to Emory and Nickie as they made their way to the door. Cringing slightly as the door exploded off, she sucked in a quick breath and stood close to Emory. As they made their way outside the room, the air continued to grow more thick and smog-like. Zara continued to twitch as she heard the evil being in her head- the thing was practically taunting them. She tried to steady her breathing as she dragged her left hand against the wall as they walked. With a tilt of her head, her eyes rolled back slightly as a shudder ran through her body.

Zara moved her right hand in front of her, lightly brushing Emory's back as it made its way in front of her chest. She opened her palm to the space in front of her and cried out. [color=teal]"Protego Totalum!"[/color] Watching as the light blue mist covered herself and her company in their entirety, she was finally able to suck in her first clear breath in what seemed like ages. Her eyes quickly cleared from the shrouded fuzziness and were once again bright and open. The protection spell would only last for a short time, but at least it was proving itself effective enough that the monster was out of Zara's head.

Moving to Vespa's other side, she gave a small grin to the girl and gently ran her hand over the girl's locks. She cleared her throat and slipped her hand into her free, open one. [color=teal]"It'll be okay, little fruit. We've got you now. Nobody's going to hurt you anymore."[/color] Zara glanced up at Emory and caught his eye.
