Nerezza v Jaquellene

((Okee then, thanks for clearing that up guys. =) So Nerezza, beat up Jack all you want, but she has to be healthy enough to get down to the kitchen))

OoC:Matt can rescue her if you like. Just let me know when I should post.

Nerezza cackled wildly as she watched the younger girl in front of her. It was simply baffling as to why Jess had thought it wise to bring in students to battle for him. Did he not realize that she and most of the other Death Eaters would kill them without a second thought? It would be no matter if they were children. They had made the mistake of fighting on the wrong side anyway. She would slaughter them just like the Aurors had slaughtered her parents. The Aurors were cowards, fighting those that had been unarmed. She would teach them all a lesson in death. But, she was unsure if they would actually learn anything. One had to be willing to listen to be taught a lesson. Nerezza doubted that half of them knew the difference between their elbows and their foreheads.

Angry that the student had been able to dodge most of her spells, Nerezza stopped for a moment, panting. It didn't take much breath for her to gain her stamina back. She had learned many years ago how to keep her strength in check when she fought, especially since she knew that she didn't want to lose. The girl was obviously brave, but how courageous could she be in the face of Nerezza Ferruccio, famed witch of bloodlust? The Italian would go to any means to gain her ends, especially if it endangered herself and others. Watching in pleasure as the girl fell to the ground in pain, simply on one knee, emerald eyes began to glisten brightly. There was no scream, but the agony was clear on her face. She had been stronger than Nerezza had initially thought her to be.

Caught off guard by her sudden movement, Nerezza heard the spell but was not quick enough to dodge it. She flew into the wall behind her, laughing wildly as the pain ripped through her back. She could feel the blood oozing out, but she simply slumped to the ground, eager for more. Standing up slowly, Nerezza suddenly felt a pain announce itself along the crown of her head. Reaching up and then bringing her hand back down to eye level, she saw crimson liquid trace her fingertips. Feeling just a tad lightheaded, she simply chuckled darkly and stood her ground once more. She may have looked more demented then usual, but she didn't care. It was her turn. Waving her wand in the air, she screamed, "CONFRINGO!" Eager for a scream, she threw the blasting spell that caused the opponent to burst into flames and waited for her victory.

Jack's chest was heaving from the effort of dodging, but she knew that was what she had been reduced to. She considered herself a bright witch, but there was no way she could compete with grown Death Eaters; particularly one as manic and crazy as the woman before her, looking as though she was as happy as can be.

Jack's sell hit, but it seemed to boost the Death Eater's morale more than anything it seemed. When Nerezza realized she was bleeding, she chuckled, the mad gleam in her eyes again. Jack swallowed. It seemed that pain kept her going. Her only hope was to actually hurt her enough for her to be unable to fight, though that was probably not going to happen. And she could not let on that she was in pain.

The best way to do that was to keep herself from getting hit. She was ready and as Nerezza waved her wand, she dove to the ground, though the force of the spell threw her back. Rolling over onto her stomach, she pointed upward at the woman and yelled "Stupefy!" The trusty spell was the first that came to her mind, and after she said it, she began to stumble to her feet.

Nerezza could see that she was tiring the younger girl. It was simply alleviating to know that she was close to victory. She could smell the triumph close by, but how much longer would it take until she received the grand prize of this girl's death? Actually, even a scream would suffice if it came down to it. Nerezza just wanted her pain to flow through her as it so happened with every other victim she encountered. This girl was not stupid, as Nerezza had hoped for, but she would die, just like all the rest. The Italian was going to make damn sure of such a thing to happen. Growling, she slashed her wand in the air and bellowed, "FURNUNCULUS!" It wasn't much of a dark spell, but Nerezza wanted to make her suffer. Boils all along her skin could do for now.

Watching as the girl swallowed, Nerezza simply chuckled darkly. The fear was evident in the girl's posture. It may have been slight, but she seemed to have realized that she was going to lose. By what shape and what form, Nerezza didn't know, but she wanted a lot of blood. She couldn't tell if the girl was hurt or not, but she figured there must have been some pain in her strides. They just didn't seem as energetic as before. Such a shame, really. Shrugging, she screamed, "IMPEDIMENTA! Hoping to cause more agony to the girl, Nerezza waited for a single moment, eager for a scream. Rolling her eyes as she through a spell at her, Nerezza easily dodged it, her movements to the right causing a torrent of blood to crash to the floor. But, she didn't seem to notice.

"This could be over quickly, girl, if you simply let me win! I promise I shall make it quick . . . but maybe just a little painful." Her smile became poisonous.

Jack dove out of the way of the first spell, knowing that a he like that was sure to cause her to be weakened long enough for Nerezza to do what she pleased. But Jack was hit full in the face by her second spell. When thought in a defensive manner, the spell was used to slow down an opponent. When thought offensively, it was known to throw the target back.

Jack flew backwards, slamming into the wall. She felt the wood splinter around her and the drywall sunk backwards. Nerezza began taunting her and Jack's anger flared. She refused to be made a fool of. She hated being taunted. "SHUT UP!" Jack flung her arm out of the rubble and pointed at Nerezza.

"Bombardo! Engorgio!" She aimed the exploding spell right at Nerezza, but with the swelling charm, she pointed at the first visible hand, hoping to impede the Death Eater. She yanked herself from the broken in wall and straightened herself off, rubble falling around her and off of her clothes.

Nerezza sighed loudly, annoyed that none of her spells were hitting this girl. Her body shook violently as the anger swelled inside of her. She had never felt such a rage for the girl before her as she did now. Furiously, she screamed, "AVADA KEDAVRA!" A flash of green light shot from the tip of her wand, flying towards the girl scrambling to dodge all of the spells flying at her.

Giggling as the girl flew into the wall, Nerezza's eyes flashed black with excitement. Watching as the pain spread across the girl's face, the Italian woman jumped up and down, her blood splashing all along the floor. But, she didn't care. She wanted to win and was willing to do anything to achieve her ends. Then, her eyes lit up in their unnatural brightness as the girl's anger exploded. It was amusing to Nerezza. The girl didn't even understand the meaning of fury. Smirking at being told to quiet herself, she tilted her head to the side and whispered, "Oh, I'm simply terrified. What are you going to do to me?" Her voice grew higher as she spoke, the smile upon her lips turning vicious.

Rolling her eyes at the girl’s attempt of spells, she cart wheeled out of the way, giggling crazily as she did so. The second spell nearly hit her, barely grazing her left arm. It burned slightly but didn’t leave a mark. Smirking as she stood straight backed once more; she pointed her wand at the girl, her crimson eyes ablaze with Hell’s Fire. “CRUCIO!” The green light flashed through Nerezza’s eyes as it sped towards the girl. She was eager to hear a scream for she had yet to have the pleasure. And, because of this, she was growing rather antsy about it.

Jack gasped as the Killing Curse incantation left the Death Eater's lips but she flung herself out of the way just on a time; a hole in the wall accounted for where Jack had been just moments before. Jack panted as she rolled to her feet, her chest heaving and her body aching from throwing herself about.

The woman screamed that she was not afraid of Jack and Jack saw the frightening ecstasy in the woman's eyes. She fed off of Jack's negative emotion. Jack's heart pounded with hatred and fury but she forced a smile on her face, though it was a little twisted with pain, so it came out more as a smirk. She panted, "I'm not trying to scare you."

Jack knew that she was basically taunting the woman. She was denying her what she wanted, which was pain and suffering, but Jack was determined not to lose. But then there was a flash of light coming twards her, and even with her Quidditch reflexes, she could not escape it.

She let out an involuntary scream but forced her teeth into her lips, closing her mouth so that all that could be heard was a muffled cry. Jack's body thrashed and convulsed and she felt like every hair was being tore from her body, every organ was being pushed inward, and she would fall to pieces at any moment.

And then it was over. Panting, eyes watering from pain, Jack made herself stand, even though her body screamed in agony. She gasped for air and then forced that terrible smile onto her face. "That kind of tickled."

She would pay for the comment, she knew, but it was her turn. Flourishing her wand, still smiling, she said, "Avis Oppugno!" A flock of birds materialized and dove at Nerezza, beaks and talons open. "Relashio!" Fiery sparks flew towards Nerezza. With a touch of irony, Jack yelled, "Rictusempra!" sending the tickling charm right towards the Death Eater's midsection.

Nerezza smiled as a gasp flew through the other girl's lips. Watching as she hurled herself out of the way, her black eyes zoomed back to watch her spell fly through the wall and hit an Order Member, one who she didn't really recognize. It didn't matter really, they would all die eventually. Whether it be at the hands of another or by their own stupidity, it would all end the same. Zipping her midnight eyes back to the younger girl, Nerezza smiled cruelly, noticing that she was becoming weaker and weaker as time went on. It was quite apparent that she was slowing down, that her body was eager to rest.

Rolling her eyes when she felt the contempt practically radiating off of the girl, Nerezza smirked back at her. It was all just so amusing to her, this little duel. She knew she would win. She was ranked higher and obviously more powerful. How could this girl believe herself to be capable of beating her? It was simply preposterous. When the girl denied that she was trying to frighten the Italian, Nerezza merely shrugged. Then what the hell was she trying to do? Change her mind and believe this girl to actually be a threat, even in the slightest of ways? She laughed coldly but said nothing.

Finally! Reveling in the scream, Nerezza's body shook with excitement as the girl's yell of torture reached her ears and calmed her senses. Her eyes faded into their original glistening emerald, tinged with victory. Her hair returned to its n0rmal volume, its waves full of energy. Her skin darkened into the sweet caramel, the cuts disappearing. She could only make them fade, the pain was still there. She would find a way to get rid of the bullets once she got out of here. She had many things in Italy that would treat such wounds, but she could survive without the healing for a while. Allowing the dried blood to continue to remain on her skin, she looked as perfect and flawless as ever, as if she had healed everything on her body. She doubted the girl would think of it as anything but healing. Most considered her to be quite good at that, for she was simply excellent at hiding her pain, mainly because she enjoyed it immensely. Continuing to smile at the girl convulsing on the ground, Nerezza felt her heart beat returning to its normal beat. Such torture was calming to her unstable nerves. She was sad when the spell ended.

Chuckling crazily at the girl's words, Nerezza took a step closer to her, eager for her blood now. She had weakened her, for there was a slight pain in her movements, something that she was trying desperately to hide from the waiting Dragon. She was ready to pounce the moment the girl showed any sign of defeat. That was when she would strike with her final blow. Timing was everything. "Ah yes, nothing but a good Cruciatus Curse to relax your mind and ensnare your senses." She smiled again. The grin grew as she watched a flock of doves head towards her. Waving her wand in the air quite quickly, the doves hit a shield around her and then flew back towards the other girl. The shield easily caused the sparks to rebound upon their master as well. Because she had not heard the last spell that had been cast, it hit her square in the stomach, making her double over in laughter. Her screams of delight rippled through the room and she jumped about wildly, eager to make herself a hard target while she was currently in no shape to send an aimed spell at the girl.

Jack shook with anger as the woman spoke. Was there no way to faze the maniac into losing her cool? Was she just so bonkers that all pain, even blows dealt to her, seemed to cause her untainted glee. It was sickening, the craze that Jack's pain sent her into. It was simply just not normal or even human.

Nerezza was distracted by the tickling charm for the moment being. Jack pointed her wand at herself and said "Episkey." She was not great at healing, but the charm helped some of her pain ebb away and cleared her mind a bit. It would help her keep her senses after everything she had been through. She needed her wit to beat Nerezza.

In a way, what she had said was right. After the Cruciatius Curse, Jack was not as afraid of being hit by charms. They would not hurt that much. She was terrified to get hit again by the painful curse though. The fear was enough to motivate Jack to stay alive and to keep fighting. And now she was ready to serve revenge.

It was not noble to send a curse at the woman while the other spell distracted her, but it was not wise to leave the opportunity untouched either. Jack would not survive if she questioned and second-guessed herself at every turn during this duel. She had to let everything come naturally.

And anyway, the Death Eater was jumping around so much that Jack did not know that she would be able to hit her. "Impedimenta!" she yelled, blasting the spell at Nerezza several times to try and slow her down so that she could get in an offensive curse or two. She aimed and said, "Diffindo! Deprimo!" She hoped that either the cutting charm or the blasting spell would hit the dodging woman.
