TESTIMONY || DANIELLE HARPER [ 29.04.18]
Dani: [ sits, forcing herself to not look at the bastard who´s not only done awful things to innocent people, but who´s also trying to weasel his way out of it. She´s not a violent person, but if she could get away with it she´d punch him in the face.
Sadly she can´t. So instead she swears on the magical laws ( because she has to ) and focuses on the people questioning her. ]
Dani: “My name is Danielle Harper and I live at #502 Scircon Square at NYADA. I´ve been attending the school as a 1st year since November 2017. I´ve known Kurt Hummel, one of the missing Lusus Naturae who were found at Brownstone, from my time before NYADA and when he went missing I was worried. My friends and I went looking for him and discovered that he wasn´t the only one missing. “
Dani: [ thinks back on all the victims, the names and the pictures she´s got memorized and she swallows, wishing there was more she could have done ]
Dani: “We entered Brownstone on January 26th to look for Kurt. The walls in the hall were covered in pictures of different Lusus Naturae in…explicit positions. I was close to Quinn Fabray when we were separated from the rest of the group and ended up in a room together. The room was filled with fog and we only later discovered that it was the Aviary. There was something in the fog, at first we couldn´t make out what it was, but there were voices saying things and singing something that sounded like a lullaby. It wasn´t comforting at all though. It was painful. To me it felt like all the pain and despair I had ever felt was coming back to me and it took all my willpower to not… [ She cuts herself off, shaking her head. ] It was hard to focus. I had never seen creatures like this before, it´s what I called them before Quinn Fabray told me that they were Nephilim. They were in pain and they couldn´t free themselves. They were stuck floating just above the ground in that Aviary. The voices and song we were hearing were in Enochian. A language I didn´t speak, but Quinn did. She cast a spell to help the Nephilim. It calmed them down a bit, enough for Quinn and I to find our way out of the room.”
Dani: [ takes a breath and suddenly wishes she had talked to Quinn a little more. Luckily Dani´s got good control over her facial expressions because otherwise she might have frowned at herself. Rreally, why would she care about talking to Quinn when Quinn clearly didn´t care much about her? ]
/ Get it together, seriously./
Dani: “When Quinn and I got out of the Aviary the fire had already started and I found myself trying to get out of the house as fast as possible. The smoke was starting to fill the corridors and I did get out eventually. And that´s all I saw at Brownstone.”
Dani: “Thank you, your honor.”
