Stacey climbed up and hooked her knees over the branch. She sighed as she leaned down up hung there. "Why must all things be so hard?" She asked, looking towards the moon. She heard a twig snap and she took out her wand, looking around as best she could while upside-down. "Reveal yourself." She bellowed.
Billie cmae from behind a near by tree. "Wow whats up with you Stacey, why so jumpy?" she asked as she tilted her head to try and look at Stacey.
Nate closed the book he was reading when he heard some people talking from a distance away. He weaved through the trees, feeling the wind press against his face as he ran, and the trees swishing as he caused the wind to swirl. He always loved running, it was his secret. He slowed down has he came near, and then came to a walk. He looked through the trees, looking hard trying to see who it was before he inturrupted or anything. He smiled as he spotted Stacey and Billie. He walked up to them and right off the bat he noticed that Stcey was hanging from a tree. He smiled,"What happened to you Stacey," he asked joking.
Stacey put her wand in back up her sleeve. "I`m not jumpy, Billie, just angry and tired." She turned her head to the sound of someone else walking closer and Nate appeared. She looked at him with dark green eyes. "None of your buisiness." She said rudely.
"Why are you angry?" Billie asked. "Who did what?" She asked. Then added. "You need me to hurt anyone?" Billie asked. She doesn't like it when her friends are in pain.
Stacey let out a small laugh. "NO thanks Billie, I can handle it. And I`m not hurt, just a little mad."
"Who or What made you mad?" Billie asked her.
"Just forget it Billie, I want him alive." She smiled. She thought it was so great that she had good friends.
"So its a him?" Billie said then turned to Nate and remembered that Stacey was rude to him. "Was it you? Did you do something to her?" Billie asked.
"BILLIE!" Stacey exclaimed loudly. "Just drop it, he`s not even in this school anymore." Stacey said. "He graduated." She added sadly. She turned to Nate. "I`m sorry, I didn`t mean to be rude."
((we should wait for him))
(Okiee day!)
Billie turned around and sat on the ground. "I'm sorry Nate" She said. She felt like a complete jerk now.
Nate looked quizically at both of them," What did i do? All ive done was walk in on your conversation, ill leave if u guys want me to so u guys can have one of those girl talks, or..whatever their called?" Then he turned to Stacey," Wait..whats a matter?" He asked suddenly, changing the subject.
Billie got tired of looking at Stacey with upside down and tucked her shirt in her pants, and stood on her hands and looked at Stacey. "Do you think you like not be upside down. It will make all the blood go down to your head and could drown you" Billie said.
Stacey decided to answer Billie first. "You can`t drown in your own blood, if I were going to, one of you would save me." She said, glancing at Nate. She sat up and climbed down the tree. "Nothing`s wrong with me, Nate. I just can`t believe why every thing has to be so hard." She leaned againt the tree the had been in. "And you don`t have to leave."
He leaned against a tree staight across from her, putting his hands in his pocket. He asked in a serious voice,"Whats so hard?"
Stacey sighed. "It`s so hard to get someone to notice you. It`s hard to believe, I know. But I find myself lost in the group." She answered.
Billie was a little upset. "Stacey, yes you can drown in your own blood. When you are hanging upside down all the blood runs to her face thats why it gets all red, and after that it gets harder to breathe. Then the blood goes into your lungs and drowns you. As soon as the blood there, theres a chance you can't be saved" Billie said. She had learned this at least 50 years ago. When she was younger, her mother had told her about it. "Can't be hard for you to get noticed Stacey" Billie said with a small smile. "Most the guys at Hogwarts already like you" Billie said.
Stacey gave Billie a look that said Shut up. She glanced over at Nate to see if he noticed.
Billie got the message and hid her small smile. Then realized something. "Aww" Billie said out loud and covered her mouth. She let out soft giggles and tried to hide them. *You like him don't you?* Billie thought to only Stacey.
Stacey rolled her eyes. *What does it matter to you? You don`t have to worry about me, you know I can take care of myself.* Stacey glared at Billies with grey eyes, she wasn`t mad, just warning.
Nate looked down feeling a little lost, and dissapointed. He shuffled his feet but tried at the same time not to seem the way he felt. Well hell he thought to himself, and only to himself.
Stacey smiled and turned to Nate. "So, have you been to Hogsmead lately?
"
Billie smiled at Stacey. *I'm was just wondering and who said taking care of yourself was part of you likeing him?* Billie asked Stacey through thought.
*Billie, please.* Stacey thought to Bilie only. *Yes, I really like him, happy?*
Billie sqeauled. "Tehe yes" She said and hugged Stacey then let go. "Umm sorry I have bad mood swings and I have weird moments when thigns happen I can't control" Billie said making upsomthing for the reason she sqeauled and hugged Stacey.
Nate looked at Billie weirdly but then decided to let it go. He turned to Stacey,"Um.. yeah a bit." He could feel something was going on but he didnt know what, and he was beginning to get a headache from thinking too much about it.
Billie couldn't stop smiling and her grin went from ear to ear.
Nate looked at Billie mysteriously, yep she definately knows something i dont he thought sheepishly to himself.
Billie lost her smile and winked at Nate then slightly poked Stacey in the side hopeing that would tell Nate and Stacey wouldn't get what Billie was doing.
Stacey glared at Billie. *Stop.* She thought sternly to Billie. *You don`t know how much experiance I`ve had with this.* She added. "So, were haven`t you been?" She asked Nate.
Bilie smiled and rolled her eyes. "Okiee day then" She said and looked around.
he smiled a bit,"Umm..dunno," He shuffled his feet, reciting a poem in his head that reminded him of right now how he was feeling. He didnt know what to say next...
"I've had more" Billie said out loud on accident. *I mean I've had a lot more experince then you would think" She thought to Stacey.
Nate looked at Billy oddly. This is becoming very awkward. He turned his head to the side. He was begginning to feel may too uncomfortable. He leaned his head downward, looking at the golden leaves laying gently on the forest floor,"Umm.. im gonna go."
Stacey looked at Billie first, reciving her message. *Yes, I know your old enough to be my ancestor, but that`s not what I`m talking about.* She looked at Nate when he said he was leaving. Her eyes burnt into a sad blue. "Why?" She asked.
Billie looked at Nate. "NO! Don't go because of me I'm sorry" She said.
Stacey looked at Nate with deep sadness in her eyes. *Did you hear us? Please, tell me.*
Nates hands still settled in his pockets as he looked stacey in the eye. " No i just..i dont know. I just need to go do my homework is all." He lied sweetly but in a way he didnt. He was going to do his homework. He thought to Stacey, *and no i didnt hear you guys. Im just tired.* He thought hoping that he was doing a good job at lying even though it hurt his insides like he*l.
Stacey closed her mind to Billie. *I can tell people are lying, you might as well just say the truth.* She thought to Nate.
Nate sighed, feeling his stomach hurting with pain. He said outloud in a soft apologetic voice,"Im sorry. I know you can tell im lying. But i just need to go." He wanted to tell her.
"Okay." Stacey said in a soft, sad voice. She didn`t want him to go, and she could tell he didn`t want to go just yet, but she felt his pain. "Go." She added.
His throat dry. His heart pounding so hard that he could hear it pulsing in his ears. He was begining to feel the piercing jolt in his stomach. His voice scratchy,"Im not feeling too good. I got to go." he said with a final gasp,"Im sorry." He ran through the trees as fast as lightning, using his vampire powers to get as far as away as he could so she couldnt see him like this.
Stacey didn`t even look at Billie as she ran the opposite direction. She climed to the top of a huge tree and waited. She waited for a sound, anything. There were tears in her eyes. "Please." She said outloud. "I`ve seen vampiers!" She yelled, making an echo. "I know what they`re like." She yelled a bit quieter.
He turned around feeling a pulse of sadness run over him. A tear ran down his face, his face straight and pale. He looked towards her direction and sad with a soft voice,"I love you." He knew she didnt hear it but it felt better saying it out loud. He ran farther and farther until he knew that she couldnt see or hear him. He got a sudden chill run down his back, as he transformed into a vampyre. His sharp teeth forming, his nails sharper, and his eyes piercing. A wash of the taste of blood came over him. He felt angry at himself for not saying how he felt about her but he couldnt do anything about it now.
Stacey felt something, she didn`t know what, but she felt it. It was like a ball of yarn hitting her in the stomach, but it was still there. A single tear ran down her face. She clutched the tree and pierced it with fire. It left large scratches in the bark. "I love you." She whispered into the dark. Stacey had a sudden idea. She jumped off the brach and landed on the ground. She ran off in the direction Nate had gone.
