For some reason it actually stung Gabriella that Cassandra said she was sorry for befriending her, no matter how illogical it was, the statement couldn't be directed to anyone else, she had been the only one close to the young 'Enyo'. "I always though you were worth talking to, and loving and trusting, none of this was necessary," with this sort of talk, the woman would not make any allies with anyone, it would scare the Ex-Blacks and anger others, they never knew how to deal with Cassandra.
"The world is fine how it is Cassandra, whatever your aim is, it is not worth it, why should people have to die for the twins?"

"The world is not okay Gabriella. We are dying...one day, all of our families will have run their course. This I can not allow. Play time is over. It is time to weed out the disloyal and execute them. Only then will we all be safe"
She looked up at the light hanging above them, and squinted

For a moment she stayed silent and merely watched the woman in mild interest, what had happened to turn her into this? Gabriella had always thought her harmless and misunderstood until she had almost killed her by bringing back her best friend and sending it to attack her. Frowning slightly again she considered her reply. "Who are the disloyal exactly? They were safer before you sent people after them, even if you told them not to harm them, those people don't think like that, they enjoy killing and will probably make some excuse afterwards." Her mind flittered to Marcello and her eyes narrowed slightly, already one of the escapees had infiltrated their home.

“YOU FOOL!” Enyo howled furiously, spit flying predictably out of her mouth. The light overhead swung and flickered, and the stone walls around groaned as is they were ready to come down on top of them “It’s so obvious! I've heard many things....they are promiscous, they didn't attend school, barely capable of any real magic to note. Do you remember what I was capable of at their age? Tell me again that they are better off. They were destined to do great things, but I see now that they can only grow into this if all destructive influences are removed. That is who is betraying me...and by extension them"

The first thought to fly to her mind was digust, followed by anger as she wiped her face dramatically. This was not a good time for her to lose her temper, the last time she had, she had fallen out with the closest thing she had to a sister, it never boded well to unleash her feelings... and people wondered why she bottled things up.
Tautening her jaw she got past the 'fool' insult, Cassandra knew how much she hated being patronised or have her intelligence insulted. "So you intend to kill all their family? You intend to kill me?" Surely she counted as a destructive influence. "They are teenagers Cassandra, they act like them, it is a shame they have no love of learning, but it is who they are."

Thanfully she as she seemed to slip back into a placid, quiet mood the walls stopped shaking. It was no coincedence, her power had grown exponetially, but it was also unstable. A war was raging not just in London, but in her own mind, so many voices fighting for control of this perfect weapon
"I have to Gabriella. He wishes me to train them. They are the start of a new army, one that is not poisoned against him. Things will be different now"

As the walls stopped shaking she relaxed her face, now content that her anger was withdrawing. For some reason she still didn't feel any fear being in the woman's company, but she never had, even when she had found out the girl version had tried to kill her. Though she was hardly overjoyed the girl had just said she was going to kill her, and her lips pouted slightly in annoyance as she tried to think of anything else to say. Cassandra had a whole story and reasoning behind her plans, well behind the made up guys plans, how could she convince her other wise? The woman had spent 10 years believing it.
"I've met your neice," it was totally the opposite of what she had intended to say, the little girl hadn't even popped into her mind, but the words had jumped from her lips.

"Oh?"
That was all she said for a moment, as she clasped her hands toghether and rested her chin on them. For somebody who has just casually admitted she would have to kill Gabriella eventually, she certainly seemed to have no fear of being attacked "She's a special child. A miracle really, in so many ways"

Pursing her lips again she remained silent for a moment, trying to ignore the niggling feeling telling her that she wouldn't be able to see her child grow up, that was if Cassandra left her alone long enough for the child to be born. Taking a deep breath and trying to push the upsetting thoughts away she met Cassandra's eyes. "She's sweet, idolises you of course," she gave a sweet smile at this, which was of course forced and changed quickly back into her 'annoyed face.'
"I hope you don't mind, I'm looking after her," once again she wasn't sure what made her say it.

She would sound like a broken record if she said oh again, so she sat there, as if in deep thought. Truth was, the hamster was spinning the wheel but not a whole lot was going on up there. After all she hadn't even expected the child to still be alive....apparently she had left her on the verge of death, and always believed it so until she had met her some months back at St Mungo's. She'd then said she'd come back for her one day, and had promptly forgotten about her, until....
"It's good that she is with you. Maybe you can protect her from him, I certainly can't."

Brushing off her lap again, mostly for something to do, she spoke again. "She thinks you are coming for her, and it seems, as my death is expected, she will have no one once again," her voice was slightly snippy for someone in her position, it would probably have been better to grovel and ask for mercy, but Gabriella had never been that kind of person, and Cassandra would not listen, she'd respect someone more who wasn't terrified.

"Don't pity her too much. She is fortunate simply to be alive. She's supposed to be dead you know, buried alongside her sister and mother" She sighed at this, and closed her eyes. With her wand laying on the table, and her not paying attention it would be a rather simple matter to finish her off, something she almost half hoped that Gabby would do
“There is much more you know nothing about, than things you do, Gabriella Lestrange. Your wealth and meager knowledge cannot protect my niece outside this cave, nor can Bellatrix and her so called Order protect any of you for that matter. I shall be fine. The Dark Lord’s followers do no seek my death"

Throughtout all that had been happening lately, she hadn't even considered asking the original Death Eaters their opinion on the matter of 'Lady Enyo,' she had naturally assumed they would be outraged, though with most of them pushing 80, they were hardly a threat. Pursing her lips again she looked at Cassandra's wand, maybe if she had been Bellatrix she would have made a grab for it, but it was dishonourable and that was something Gabriella was not.
Taking her eyes away she spoke, intending to scold the woman for once again insulting her knowledge, did people really thing she had grown up with Bellatrix Lestrange and been left to play with dolls and run wild? She had spent all her childhood being mentored harshly, just because she chose not to try and rule the world didn't mean she should be underestimated. "You always told me family was the most important thing, and you are prepared to see your neice die, wasn't Flower and her sister enough?" she was prepared for Cassandra to explode at her again, but didn't care. "What happened to you? Taking orders from some man who if he even exists, will not show himself?! You're no better than my Mother!"

"Like I said, you speak of things you do not know. I am the heir to the Salvatore name! For dozens of generations the Salvatore's have been foremost in the command of the arts of the dead. In years of the Earth perhaps I am young. But in my heart and my mind - I'm old. I’ve just begun to scratch into the empire of death, but yet am far beyond the simple tricks for children that Hogwarts taught us! Flower betrayed that legacy, so my father asked that she be purged. It is an army that I am building for him. Always for him. I have to, or he will kill me as well. After all, I am the one who sent him to Azkaban in the first place"

No shock appeared on her face at her old friends words, of course she had never suspected such reasoning behind this whole thing, why on earth would an old Greek man want the Jackson twins? It made little to no sense, couldn't he have used his own twins to lead the world? Frowning slightly, she thought things over, all insults ignored. Even the statements about necromancy didn't bother her, Gabriella had never seen this as a skill, it wasnt hard, but it took a screwed up person to dabble in it and therefore it was not commonly practised, this was enough to make those that did, feel superior.
Wringing her hands slightly, she forgot that she was having a conversation, that she was required to speak, but there was nothing insightful or even sarcastic to say, no questions to be answered, that she wanted to hear anyway. "Cassandra, if you disobeyed him, we could help you, one man against us all is nothing." Bracing herself for more of the 'you fool' behaviour, she watched the woman with her calm black eyes.
