adam hauptman, arrival, complete, day ten, hermione granger

WHO: Adam and OPEN
WHAT: The arrival of a very displeased werewolf
WHEN: Day Ten, dusk
WHERE: Middle of the amusement park
WARNING: TBA
STATUS: Incomplete

Adam hadn't entirely figured out why he'd been kidnapped. Oh, there were lots of people who wouldn't be upset if he disappeared, but no one had killed him. The only one who'd died was that young, newly-bitten werewolf. And, he was sure he'd taken out some of the people who had come for him, which he'd taken a certain grim satisfaction in. Other than that, it was all a puzzle, and he didn't like things that didn't make sense. It offended him. If things were going to be done, they should be done for a reason.

What infuriated him more was when they brought his daughter, Jesse, in, and he couldn't do anything to help her. He was so drugged he could barely see straight, could barely make his eyes focus, but he'd recognize his daughter's scent anywhere. And he was caught, chained up with silver chains, helpless. If anything had ever been intolerable, this was it. Drugs weren't supposed to work on werewolves, but apparently, someone hadn't gotten that memo.

But someone had made a mistake. He didn't know how or why, but no one had been in to tranquilize him for several hours. He could feel the haze of the drugs wearing off. This was good. Despite the crippling interference of the silver, he flexed his muscles. He would be ready, and he would find a way out of this. The door opened, and a guard he recognized came in. This one was particularly mean, took pleasure in hurting him. Well, the tide was turning. His smile was almost a snarl, and a low growl left his throat. It took a lot to make him lose his temper, but kidnapping him, and more important, his daughter would definitely do it.

It seemed to him that he just closed his eyes for a second, just to blink, and everything changed. The chains were gone, and he was free. But he was also in the middle of an amusment park, and that just didn't make any sense. Had he fallen asleep? But he didn't see how that was possible. Hallucinating from the drugs? Maybe, but it felt like they'd mostly worn off. Large, dark eyes narrowed, and he looked around. The first person he saw, he was going to get some answers out of.

“I suppose you do” Hermione tutted as he tried to lift himself up “Theirs no need for that, you should stay down and rest instead of acting all macho” she sighed and propped herself under his arm to help him up the best she could, with him being so much bigger then herself.

Helping him over to the stand she sighed “More like living in it or so I’m told” She laughed “In my world they do..” She paused for a second, turning around wondering how was the best way to explain his new world to him, when she was hit with a droplet flying sliver “Let me help” She drew her wand then pointed it at the spot of sliver on her cloak and it vanished completely, then turned to the werewolf man doing the same getting the sliver off his skin before it could do more damage.

She nodded, lifting up her wand once more “Episkey” She waited wand ready for more sliver to come out. “Yes I’m Hermione Granger, I know its going to sound weird because I’m apparently from a book in your world…” she paused combing through her hair with her hand, looking for sliver she thought might have flew in. “You see your no longer in your world, you in his world, Jareth’s world”

“He must process some very powerful magic if he can just make a whole world and snatch people from the own to live in it.” She pointed in the direction of the labyrinth “The Labyrinth is over that way, you would have to get passed it to see him” Hermione guessed that he should know that, he seemed like the type that would not take being kidnapped lightly.

“This is the amusement park as you can tell, this area changes through when I first arrived it was a renaissance fair” Pointing towards the dorms she went on “the dorms are over that way, you should be getting a key for your room and a journal soon” She smiled, stopping and letting him soak in the info also giving him the chance to speak his mind

Most people, of course, would be a little weirded out by the fact that she just waved her wand, and the silver disappeared. Adam was merely curious. He'd seen witches in action before, and none of them had done things in exactly the way that she was. It interested him, and of course, as the dangerous metal disappeared, he was feeling more and more healthy.

It seemed to him that the flow of silver from his pores was speeding up as his body recovered. His own natural healing ability was taking over, aided by her magic. The cuts and bruises on his body, much of which was revealed by his ripped clothing, started healing on their own. Although he would have killed for a cup of good coffee, he felt nearly normal again.

As she kept talking, he nodded his head. "Alright, then. I'm talking to Hermione Granger, in a world that isn't my own, and was apparently brought here by someone named Jareth." The disbelief was clear in his tone. "I don't know why you people are doing this to me. No one's even asked me any questions. Explain."

Again, the tone wasn't a request. It was clear that he expected to get answers, despite the fact that he was still very, very weak, and poisoned by the silver. But then she waved her wand, and more silver came pouring out of him, this time in a positive flood as it was aided by his own healing factor. It would take time to get back to normal, but at least the silver wasn't in his body anymore. Of course, if he shifted, he would heal faster. But it was harder to communicate while a wolf, so he just dealt with it.

He fixed her with his dark eyes, willing her to speak, and to make sense this time. "Miss Granger, stop toying with me. I wish to know who you really are, why I've been brought here, and where my daughter is."

Hermione looked over the stranger, with some of the sliver gone the man looked better but defiantly not fully back to normal. He also looked like he was from a more modern time the most of the others she had met here. “Well I know it may be a bit hard to believe but you are” She sighed taking a few steps away, sweeping a stray piece of hair out of her face. “I had nothing to do with you being here…I’m a victim just like you, snatched form my own world and brought here”

“I asked you one and never got a answer” she corrected him “I asked you what happened and never got one word of an answer, any others could have waited till you were better” She looked him over once again, noticing only now that he was not really wearing much for being outside in the cold and snow. She opened her mouth to say something about this but said nothing about it. “Anyway what’s your name then?” she asked pulling her cloak tighter around herself.

She waved her wand, once again at the sliver coming out of him, making it vanish before it even hit the ground. She looked around his feet for any she missed, cleaning it up. “I really am Hermione Granger, In no way am I toying with you nor do I know why you were brought here…I was thinking about finding Jareth and asking him that very same question…Why do this? Why take people from their homes…”

Hermione fell silent for a few seconds, looked the werewolf straight in his brown eyes “I’m so sorry about your daughter, she’s not here that I know of…the people who did this to you don’t have her do they?” her tone was light, full of concern and sympathy. She hoped with all her heart that the answer was no, that the sick people who done this to him, would never get their hand on an innocent girl.

The werewolf simply looked at her, but when she stepped back a few steps, a slightly predatory look came into his dark eyes. Injured or not, he was still an alpha werewolf, and it was seldom a good idea to show any weakness in front of one. Still, he was far too hurt to do much more than smile, but it did help him form his opinion of the girl.

"Alright, then. Let's say, for the sake of arguement, that I accept you as Hermione Granger." Which he was far from convinced of, but it made more sense than any other explanation he could think of right now. "We've been kidnapped. Fine. Now, I just need to see about being sent home." After all, he most certainly had unfinished business there.

"My name is Adam. Adam Hauptman." He eyed her once more, and then smiled slightly at her. "Thank you for your words about my daughter. Unfortunately, yes, she has been taken, and she isn't a werewolf." Still, if he knew Jesse, she'd give her kidnappers hell. She might not be a werewolf, but she was spunky as hell.

"I was tied up, they shot me with something, drugs aren't supposed to work on me but these ones did." He eyed her levelly as he spoke. "And that, I fear, is the entire story. I ended up here. So." He raised an eyebrow once more. "now what?"
