Night

((OMG  I think she actually deleted it! This is a major break through! Oh, by the way Isabelle, I don't want to be mean, but I'm gonna ditch you.  Leah can't be sure that you were giving them privacy!))

"Charms is good.... I like that class too!"  She chuckled.  She frowned in confusion at his sudden wariness.  She too looked around and then nodded.  She put her finger to his lips and motioned for him to follow her.  Then she moved stealthily into the darkness.

[Seth Lockhart]

Axel nodded, staying quiet and crept along into the darkness, just as stealthily as she did before him. If Isabelle really was a wolf animagus, then she would be able to hear the slightest sound.

[dobby888]

Leah decided that they were far enough, and broke into a dead sprint.  She still moved quietly, it was part of who she was.  She dodged the trees with ease, checking back once and a while to make sure that Axel was following.  She was heading towards the far side of the lake and was planning to skirt around the outside, then weave towards the school, then back into the forest.  That was where her plan ended so far, and it already involved a lot of walking.

suddenly DEMENTORS!!! o m g this is not good "run!" she shouted.

[Miss Xantier]

(AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! another newbie like Thailia! Maybe it's her! Great, someone to ruin my summer vacation!)

[Seth Lockhart]

"Where are we going?" Axel asked as they ran, not one bit out of breath. He was used to running great distances at a great speed. He glided past the trees with ease as he held onto his hat to keep from losing it.

[dobby888]

"I'm not completely sure!" Leah responded, continuing to dodge around the trees.  She had come to the lake and was now running along it's outer edge, her feet occasionally splashing the water.

[Seth Lockhart]

Axel stopped abruptly, his feet splashing some water around. The giant squid had stuck one of its tentacles above the surface, making a motion similar to a wave. Axel smiled and proceeded to walk at a decent pace.

[dobby888]

Leah noticed Axel slow to a walk, and she slowed down too.  She backed up and walked beside him.  She didn't really know what to say, so she didn't say anything.

[Seth Lockhart]

Axel adjusted his hat and moved a piece of hair out of his eyes. "I really need a haircut." He said, examining his long, spikey, red hair with a grin.

[dobby888]

A bright glow came into Leah's eyes as she had an idea.  She began to mumble to herself, slightly,  "...never work... bad job... uneven..." 

She looked up at Axel and smiled.  She bit her lip and then said, "Do you think you would ever... let me... cut it for you?"

The last words came out in a rush, and she looked up at him uncertainly.

[Seth Lockhart]

Axel raised his eyebrows, surprised that this girl he just met would want to cut his hair. He didn't mind though. He had full trust in her.


"If you promise not to slice off my ear." He said jokingly. "I dunno how short, so you can surprise me."

[dobby888]

"Really!?"  Leah nearly screamed.  She did a double take, realizing how much he trusted her.  It was strange for someone to trust her so completely, and so quickly.


"Okay, well I promise not to take off your ear, and I will surprise you, I promise! I'll make it cute don't worry!" Leah said, wondering when they would do the haircut.

[Seth Lockhart]

"Er...cute?" Axel repeated the word with the same raised eyebrows. He quickly smiled though and began twisting his finger through his red hair.

"I think I'm getting split ends."

[dobby888]

Leah paused and then realized her mistake.  "No! No, no cute... what I meant to say was... uhm..."

She racked her brain for a better word, but couldn't think of one.  "Man pretty?"
