Karen was about to respond to Bishop that a stubborn horse was actually comparatively more difficult than learning how to ride a broom when the trait abruptly screeched to a halt. The vehicle began shaking and Karen could only look around, wide-eyed and confused as to what was happening. The lights went dark a the sounds of students screaming pierced the air, accompanied by flashes of light. 

She had suspicions on what was going on behind their compartment.

A shiver ran down her spine as she realized that this was a very, [i]very[/i] dangerous situation. Her body began shaking in fear as Karen slowly inched away from the door, unable to think of anything else. That was when she caught sight of Bishop, crouched by the door and shaking. He was afraid, but still ready to confront whoever was there to threaten them. It was then Karen realized how despicable she was acting.

Karen pulled out her wand, a red rage building up inside her. How dare she! How dare she cower and hide without so much as trying! 

[color=92278f][i]No no no no NO![/i][/color] she roared internally, her ears pumping with blood. She was just so [i]angry[/i] with herself right now! 

The wand began to issue small sparks from its tips as Karen lost her cool and crouched right next to Bishop. Her eyes blazed and she had stopped shaking. Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she readied her wand.

After awhile, things settled down, and it seemed the hijackers had been repelled. Karen settled back down into her seat, agitated, but not shaken - not anymore. She was too angry to be scared. 

[color=92278f]"Darn it all,"[/color] she cursed. The incident had embedded itself into her memory - not for the terror it brought with it, but because it had made her feel so [i]spineless[/i], and she found that she absolutely [i]loathed[/i] the feeling. [color=92278f]"Never again, never again."[/color]

She looked up, finally feeling a little calmer. [color=92278f]"How are you feeling, Bishop?"[/color] she said perfectly collected by now.
