Underground mysteries¢ÀIzzie

[Jax Fiend]

(Heads up: I¡¯ve never been to London, so this may not all be accurate).

Once Jax knew Izzie was ready, he closed his eyes and focused on the place he¡¯d just shown her a picture of. In order for the apparition to work, she¡¯d had to know where they were going, so he had just shown her a picture of the Tower of London. He hoped she wasn¡¯t too freaked out about going there, but he¡¯d reassured her that it was alright. At least they were going during the daytime; the building was pretty daunting at night.

He felt a sucking sensation in his bellybutton as he took off. To most, it felt uncomfortable, but Jax honestly felt a rush in being squeezed and pulled. It ended suddenly, and he felt a soft breeze blowing across his face. The air was different too; less pure. He opened his eyes and looked around.

He and Izzie were standing at the bottom of a bridge in London. Ahead of them stood the Tower. There were people milling around the vicinity. Some were coming, others going. A few guard were posted at the entrance. He grinned and looked over at his companion. "Here we are love. I know this probably isn't the place you wanted to go today, but I promise you, there's more to it than you think." He had a mysterious twinkle in his dark eyes. "There are some things about the Tower that only wizards are aware of...secrets." He tickled her playfully. "I'm sure we can go shopping later on if there's time." He took her hand and took a step forward. "Are you ready?"

[Izzie Jacobs]

(I've been to London, Ontario but not London, England so I'm in the same boat haha)

Studing the picture Jax had showed her, Izzie gathered a clear image in her head. She believe she had walked past it on her tour but she wasn't sure. The place seemed rather mysterious something that made Izzie uneasy as she usually found herself in weird situations often playing the damsel in distress and in a new environment, this may be worse. Closing her eyes to take a deep breath before she would apparte as she hated the feeling. It made her feel sea sick in way but it still was better than side appariation.

The feeling stopped as suddenly as it began and she found herself standing next to Jax at a bottom of a bridge and infront of them rested the Tower Of London. It was bigger than she thought it would be. Smiling at Jax as he grinned at her, Izzie thought this would be an interesting day. "Here we are love. I know this probably isn't the place you wanted to go today, but I promise you, there's more to it than you think. There are some things about the Tower that only wizards are aware of...secrets." Giggling a little as he called her love, Izzie gulped, "Secrets, huh? Why do there always have to be secrets?" The nervousness in her voice really shun though but she began laughing again as Jax tickled her slightly and told her that they could go shopping later if they had time.

Izzie nodded slightly with a smile and felt Jax's hand mold in to her own, "Are you ready?"
The blonde nodded again, "As ready as I'll ever be. Before we go, I'd just like to say I'm sorry for all my talking and if I trip over something, fall down something, crash into something, bump into something, hurt you somehow and just overall cause any trouble. It seems to follow me wherever I go. But other than that, I'm all set." Leaning into to give him a quick peck, Izzie smiled, "Okay, so let fun begin."

[Jax Fiend]

Izzie seemed a bit nervous, but Jax knew she was brave enough to enjoy her time there. She nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be. Before we go, I'd just like to say I'm sorry for .....any trouble. It seems to follow me wherever I go. But other than that, I'm all set.". Jax laughed and gave her hand a squeeze. "You know something- you worry to much," he said. She gave him a quick kiss, and then they were off to, as Izzie put it, let the fun begin.

They walked up to the entrace of the tower, which had a short line of tourists. Jax wished they didn't have to wait in line with all of the muggles, but at least he had Izzie with him this time. After five minutes, it was their turn to enter. Jax paid the lady, and they were told to go with a group for a guided tour. Jax took Izzie with him and pretending to go with a group, but cunningly managed to avoid getting too close or noticed.

"Don't worry; we'll get a fine tour of our own," he whispered to her as he began walking in the oppostie direction of the other tourists. Inside the Tower, it was very cool, and their footsteps echoed against the stone. They were going down a dark corridor with stain glass windows. If Jax were the romantic sort, which he wasnt (mostly), he would have enjoyed the view, but he'd been there on a few occasions, and didn't take much notice.

They came to a stone wall near an armory display. Jax withdrew his hand from Izzie's and tapped lightly on a series of stones. Slowly, they began to dematerialize. Jax grinned at Izzie. "Bet you didn't know this was here. Do you want to go in?"

[Izzie Jacobs]

Jax laughed a bit and squeezed Izzie's hand, "You know something- you worry to much"
Izzie corrected him, "No, I don't worry too much. I'm just prepare for me to do something stupid."

Waiting in line to get in with other tourist, Izzie sensed his impatience and gave his hand a slight pulse. Finally get to the beginning of the line, Izzie smiled at the women who Jax paid their admission to. At first, they followed the group but Izzie knew that with Jax, they weren't going to go on some boring tour. And sure enough, Jax whispered to her, "Don't worry; we'll get a fine tour of our own.". It was almost like he had read her mind of something. They began to walk in the other direction the tour was heading. She found them in a dark corridor alone with some beautiful stain glass windows. Gazing at them, she didn't notice they had stopped in front of a wall. Izzie was fairly confused but knew something had to be magical about it because she really doubted they just were going to look at the wall.

Jax dropped her head and tapped on the wall. It slowly disappeared and a new room rested in front of them. He grinned at her, "Bet you didn't know this was here. Do you want to go in?"
Izzie playfully scratched her chin as she pretended to think hard, "Well, I'm not sure what rest in there but I'm sure I don't really have a choice and you're probably going to make me go in there anyway. Saying that it's safe and blah. But I'll know in the back of my head that something will go wrong and you'll just do your Slytherin charm thing and make everything better somehow. So I'll just say.. I guess I'll go in."

[Jax Fiend]

Izzie pretended to be thinking, but Jax knew she'd give in. "Well, I'm not sure what rest in there...you're probably going to make me go in there anyway. ...I guess I'll go in.
"Slytherin charm?" Jax scoffed. "I have no idea what you mean Blondie." His eyes twinkled.

By then there was a significant gap in the stone wall broad enough for two people to go through snugly. Jax stepped foward. "Alright then, here we go." He gave her a rare reassuring smile. "Trust me, it's not so bad." They entered, and immediately the wall shifted back to its normal position of bricks. There was a winding staircase that led downward. Because it was dark, Jax took Izzie's hand again as they began the steep climb.

As soon as their feet hit the steps, torches lit up along the way, creating shadows and light. Jax walked slowly and carefully, unlike normal. It took awhile, but Jax tried to make conversation. "My uncle told me that this basement goes back to the wizards during Henry VII's time. He said that one of the prisoners was a wizard, and he escaped from the guard, then used it as a potion room and lived here until he could get out unnoticed." He took a second to brush dust off his arm. "Another wizard found it later during a tour, and we've kind of been coming down here since then." They finally reached the bottom. Jax looked around, his eyes finally accustomed to the dim lights. It wasn't the most romantic looking place...In fact, it was a bit eerie. But, this wasn't his main destination.

[Izzie Jacobs]

(Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry.... I keep not posting and I feel so bad. Sorry again.)

"I have no idea what you mean Blondie."[/]
Izzie took on a child like presence as she stuck her tongue out at him. Giggling to herself, she nervously followed him into the unknown room. Her eyes met everything in the room and they did a double take on the long winding staircase in front of them. Her trouble eyes met Jax who gave her a reassuring grin. Izzie cursed his charm that automatically made her fell calmer. "Trust me, it's not that bad"

Once they fully entered the room, the brick resembled into the wall that was there before and with every step, a torch lit in front of them. "Eerie," Izzie thought to herself. Feeling even calmer as Jax's hand found it's way into her own, the blonde smiled to herself. There was silence for awhile until Jax made or atleast tried to make conversation. He discussed the history of this place that his uncle told him and Izzie nodded polietly as he talk to keep him talking. She didn't want to do all the talking today, it was nice when she heard someone other than herself talking for a change.

Jax was done talking when they hit the bottom and they were welcomed by dim lighting. Izzie looked at Jax confused. This is where he led her... a badly lit room that some guy used to hid in. If this was any other guy Izzie would have been upset but she was with Jax, he always had something more to him. So maybe this place had something more to offer. Izzie gave a smile to Jax and joked to him, "So I know there must be something more to this place or I misjudged you, Mr.Jax Fiend. Unless you led me down here for reasons that don't include talking," Izzie leaned closer to him and smirked, "Though I highly doubt that because you don't seem like that kind of guy though I know you try to look that way sometimes." Izzie grinned and looked around at the room, "I can't believe someone lived here but than again, I could so make it work."

[Jax Fiend]

So I know there must be something more to this place ...Unless you led me down here for reasons that don't include talking, She made some comment about him not being that kind of guy, and Izzie leaned closer to him. Jax leaned in to whisper, "Maybe I have...But not now." He grinned at her cunningly and stood back. He wondered if something inside him had changed, because just a few months ago, he hadbeen that guy. Now, he felt different, and he knew he wouldn't do that to Izzie.

Jax tried to regain his air of mystery as he strode over to and old desk. "Ah, you know me too well Miss Jacobs. No, I do not dissappoint. I would never bring a lady down to this dingy room unless their was some quality about it of interest...which there is," his dark eyes twinkled.

After a moment's pause, he strode over to an old potion container. It appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary, but once his hand went over it, that all changed. The empty bottle became a brilliant blue color and made a soft, high pitched noise. Jax dropped it, but instead of shattering, it became a blue door. He grinned. "It's the last door, I promise," he said taking hold of her hand.

He walked her over and opened it slowly. The scene before them was completely different. They were outside in a wooded area, a castle off in the distance. There was stream trickling by, and the scent of horses in the air. Jax stepped through with Izzie in tow. He took a deep breath, enjoying the familiar smell of horses and knowing a certain sport that went with them. "Care to guess where this is?" he asked her.
