Alexis looked around. It was a gorgeous bright sunny day, and on days like these she couldn't hardly stand to be inside. It seemed like too much of a waste. Alexis kicked a small rock that was in front of her as she walked aimlessly around the grounds of the school. She wore her thrashed, skinny jeans, and a blue tank-top. It was warm enough to dress lightly.
The wind blew around her lightly, making her long hair to flow with it. She sighed softly, and layed down in the grass. Alexis glanced up at the sky, and watched the clouds.
(PM to Join.)
Josh appeared over her his long hair flowing down like a red waterfall. "Whatcha doin?" He said smiling down at her. He had just a plain black T-shirt on and a loose pair of jeans on and some old ratty shoes.
Alexis looked up at the sound of a voice. She looked at Josh, and smiled warmly.
"Eh, nothing really. Enjoying the weather really. What are you doing all the way out here?" She asked. Alexis kicked off her shoes as she leaned up against the tree.
He backed up so she could lean against the tree. " Well i decided to take a little stroll on the wonderful day." He said in a tone that made it seem he was half joking. "I can tell your liking this weather." He said looking at a rather relaxed Alexis.
Alexis giggled softly, and looked up at the sky before looking back to Josh.
"Yeah. It's really nice. But I wish there was something else to do." She pointed out as she shrugged her shoulders.
Josh put his hand up on his forehead as some kind of visor and looked off in the distance. He could see tree for miles and it brought back memories of when he used to go exploring in the forest. " How long you been here for?" He said curiously trying to get to know this girl.
Isabelle walked down from the castle towards the lake. She saw two people a red haired boy and a black haired girl. Alexis and Josh. She ran towards them, and said "Hey guys."
Suddenly the wind sped up, and got stronger. It swept her hair around more, and she had to move it out of her face.
"I've been here since I was 12." Alexis answered him. "What about you, before you dropped out?"
He did not hear Isabelle." I was here when I was at 11 til about 13" HE said "then I dropped out and now Im back" He looked at her and smiled.
"Hello?" says Isabelle and she started to tap her foot.
Josh turned to Isabelle. "Sorry I didn't hear you.How are you?" He looked at Isabelle then at Alexis. THere was something about Alexis that kept his attention but he couldn't figure it out.
Alexis nodded thoughtfully. She tilted her head to the side.
"Oh okay. How old are you now?" She asked before adding. "If you don't mind me asking."
Alexis turned toward Isabelle. "Oh, hey Isabelle." She smiled warmly.
"17" He said shortly."What about you?" He said observing the more than clear sky.
Alexis turned her attention back to Josh as he spoke.
"I'm sixteen, almost seventeen too actually." Alexis answered with a soft smile.
He noticed her smile and then began to smile. Josh couldn't help smiling when he would see someone else smile. "That's cool." He said casually. "I haven't done this for a while. Just sat out here and relaxed." He said as he laid down to look straight up at the sky. His hair spread out all on the ground and his hands on his chest. "Last time i just relaxed i was the last time I was here." He remembered always hanging out around school with his friends from the past. Most of which were gone now and he didn't even say bye to any of them.
Alexis watched Josh as he layed down to relax in the grass. The cool breeze slowly swept around them as if some sort of silent dance. The leaves from the trees slowly blew by them. It was peaceful out here. Very peaceful.
"Do you think that you could ever meet up with your old friends again?" She asked quietly as she hugged her knees closer to her chest.
He started to remember all of his friends. "Maybe a few if I'm lucky." The grass against his skin felt absolutely euphoric. The blue sky above him was like a blue abyss ready to be searched. It looked as though it could go on forever and ever. Josh rubbed his eyes and stated "Almost everyone i knew before has left except three maybe four people." Then it hit him like a brick wall. He hardly new anyone. It was like he was in a whole new school. Do people here even know elemental powers now? Are there anymore Animagus wizards? It began to make him panic a little inside because of how different everything was now. He closed his eyes and said "This is going to take some getting used to." It made him cringe to think of how alone he was now.
Alexis watched him thoughtfully. It almost looked as if he was in pain, or he was lonely. She wanted to reach out, and give him a hug to comfort him, but she didn't know how he would react to that. Alexis had the ability to read one's mind, and now she was very curious about what he was thinking. However, she hardly used it. It seemed like an invasion of someones privacy. And she didn't want to invade his.
"I'm sorry. But, maybe this happened for a good reason. You can make new friends, and meet new people." Alexis pointed out softly.
"Yeah i know." He said softly. "Im just trying to think positive now." He closed his eyes to see swirling colors as if he had been rubbing his eyes for a long period of time. He opened his eyes and looked at Alexis. Maybe it was a good thing he thought to himself. "Thanks." He said smiling at her again. He sat up and rested his arms on his knees. "Man everyone here still seems nice and thats a good thing."
Alexis smiled gently. She tilted her head to the side as the strong breeze slowly died down.
"Thats good. Theres alot of nice people here. You'll get along with everyone easily." Alexis told him as her grin widend.
She gently leaned back so she could lay down in the soft, lucious grass. Alexis sighed softly, a happy sound as she looked up at the clouds.
"Yeah, so anything been going on around here lately." He said looking back up at the sky. A few small clouds were starting to pass through his vision. "I mean i couldn't have missed too much." He stated trying to re-comfort himself. He looked closely at one of the clouds and it seemed to make a slow swirling motion. It fascinated him how things worked without it being untouched by anything.
Alexis shook her head briskly. She then followed his gaze to the sky before looking back at him.
"Actually you haven't missed much of anything. It's been very boring here..." She said with a small frown on her face. Alexis moved her arms, and put them behind her head as she layed down in the soft grass.
He closed his eyes again trying to relax. He felt restless like he had to get up and move, but at the same time he wanted to stay where he was at. It was a frustrating feeling. He started moving his legs back and forth and fidgeting with his fingers. He gritted his teeth. He hadn't slept in four days, and even when he did it wasn't for very long. It was a total of two maybe three hours. For a short moment there were no thoughts. It was peaceful for once. He stopped fidgeting, ungritted his teeth, and his legs stopped moving. He felt good for a moment. Maybe it was because of this new friend he had just met. Maybe it was just pure luck. He didn't feel alone andymore and that was a good feeling. Good feelings were very rare for him now. Then the frustration hit him again like a wall. He began fidgeting, gritted his teeth again but his legs stayed the same.
"God, i can't stand this." He said through his teeth.
Alexis looked at him with a soft expression on her face. She eyes dropped, and she bit her lip, it was one of her habits.
"Are you alright?" She whispered to him only loud enough for the two of them to hear even though they were the only ones around.
The wind suddenly picked up again, but Alexis payed no attention to it. Right now she was worried about Josh, and what he was going through now.
He opened his eyes and looked at Alexis. "Yeah, I'm fine. You really don't need to worry about me." He said trying not to sound as though he were offending her. He continued fidgeting with his fingers but un gritted his teeth. He stretched his legs out, letting his legs feel a little better. He had that restless feeling in his legs as well. He looked down at his feet for a moment then back at Alexis. His bags under his eyes and his half-opened eyes showed that he was sleep deprived.
Her frown deepend as she saw how bad his condition was. It looked as if he hadn't slept in weeks. She leaned forward closer to him.
"If you want, I'll walk with you back to the castle to get some sleep." Alexis offered quietly.
She took a deep breath of fresh air as the hot, booming sun hit down on her eyes. However, it didn't make it difficult to see. The tree she sat under helped with that.
"Trust me it wont help." He said hopelessly. He rubbed his eyes again. They were bothering him again. It may have been allergies he thought. He stood up and turned to Alexis. "When was the last time you climbed a tree?" He said smiling at her and looking at the tree behind her.
Alexis turned around quickly to look at the tree. She had to look up to see how tall it was. Then she looked back at Josh, and flashed him a bright, brilliant smile.
"To tell you the truth its been awhile. I would love to do it again. If your game." She said playfully. Alexis leaned forward to stand up.
Josh ran over to the tree. He jumped up and grabbed the lowest branch and pulled himself up. He sat on the branch and let his legs swing down. "Man, your pretty slow." He said half laughing.
Alexis giggled, and stuck her tongue out at him as if she were a little kid again. She quickly grabbed hold of one of the lowest branches, and lifted herself up. She sat gracefully on a strong, sturdy branch of the tree.
"Nahh. You're just pretty fast." She teased him.
Josh smiled. He grabbed the branch above him and pulled himself up to that one. "Well it used to be my specialty." He said joking with her. He threw an stick at her. Not a hard throw just a soft lob. Just to startle her.
Alexis quickly caught sight of the branch, and ducked before it hit her. She suddenly began to laugh, so she had to hold onto tighter to the branch.
"Hey, that's not nice!" She teased him again.
Alexis grabbed onto another branch, and pulled herself up. Then she pulled herself onto another higher branch, and looked down at Josh. She smiled widely.
"You think your funny but your not." He said laughing again." He pulled himself up to the same branch she wa son and looked down. They were pretty high up but it wasn't high enough. He then flipped backwards and hung upside down on the branch as if he were a monkey.
Alexis's body shook as she giggled. She tried to keep still so that Josh wouldn't have any trouble as he hung down from the branch. She genty leaned back, and forth while moving the branch as little as possible.
"This was fun. I needed this. Thanks." Alexis said with a grin.
"No problem." He said coming back up next to her."I needed it as much as you did." He said smiling at her. He then looked up and noticed they weren't even halfway up." We still got a lot of tree to go." He said to her looking at her again.
Alexis smiled playfully. She suddenly pulled herself up onto the branch, and she went onto a higher branch. She swung back, and forth on the branch.
"You're slow." Alexis teased him playfully.
Josh sprung up to grab the branch above him. When he tried to jump to another branch he completely missed. he was swinging wildly as if that was going to bring the branch closer to him. He looked down and notice he was further up then he thought. He fell on another branch making his abdomen hit a branch and breaking that one as he began to fall to the ground. He landed with a loud thud and was knocked unconscious. Blood began to trickle out of his nose and down the side of his cheek.
Alexis watched Josh fall horrified. She instantly gasped, and jumped down from the branches. She climbed down quickly, and landed on the ground. Alexis hastily ran towards Josh.
"Josh are you alright? Please wake up, I'm really sorry!" She said panicked. She couldn't tell if he was unconcious, or dead.
Josh seemed to go into a deep sleep. All that was around him were swirling colors. It felt as though he had just entered some new world. He felt more alive than ever he tried to look around but couldn't move. Then all of the colors stopped it was pitch black as though he were in some kind of bottomless pit. A man appeared out of nowhere and beckoned Josh toward him. Josh didn't know what to do so he tried to turn around and run. Everything then slowly turned white. He had no idea what was going on. Then the next thing he knew his eyes were barley open and everything was out of focus. He tried to open his eyes even more but nothing happened. He tried to move his arm but it hardly even twitched. Was he paralyzed? Even if he was he was at a wizard school something could be done about it. It still made him panic inside. The worst feeling was not being able to have control over yourself.
Everything was beginning to come into focus better but there was a black spot in the middle of his vision. This indicated that he had a concussion. He tried to talk but nothing came out. He could feel his lips moving but nothing else. He tried to find Alexis in his eye sight but he couldn't, all he could see was this big black spot in front of him.

Josh turned to Isabelle. "Sorry I didn't hear you.How are you?" He looked at Isabelle then at Alexis. THere was something about Alexis that kept his attention but he couldn't figure it out.

Alexis nodded thoughtfully. She tilted her head to the side.
"Oh okay. How old are you now?" She asked before adding. "If you don't mind me asking."
Alexis turned toward Isabelle. "Oh, hey Isabelle." She smiled warmly.
"Hello! I forgot to tell you Josh, but I'm a shapeshifter and death eaters are after me." says Isabelle smiling and turned into five different animals, cat, rabbit, frog, bear, and a flying fish.
Alexis gently pushed Josh's shoulder. She looked up, and down him to see if he was moving. He only moved a little.
"Josh, where are you hurt? I have to bring you back to the school." She said. Alexis gently attempted to pick him up, but she wasn't strong enough, and she had forgotten her wand back in her room.
He could hear Alexis but couldn't respond to her. His eyes still had a black spot in it. He still couldn't move. His vocals came back though. "I can't move." He whispered very softly. "Go get your wand and run back here." He said softly again. His began to have a terrible headache and became very ill. The pain was unbearable and he just wanted it to stop.
"What happened! I have my wand here." says Isabelle pulling out her wand and giving it to Alexis, and she looked worried to Josh.
Alexis looked at Isabelle, and gave her a look of relief, and thankfulness. She quickly took the wand, and pointed it at Josh. Alexis held the wand steady, and murmered a spell quietly. She gently waved the wand, and a bright light appeared. She held her breath incase it didn't work. It had been awhile since she had practiced any healing spells.
After the flash of light nothing happened at first. The slowly the pain started to go away, as if it were leaving his body. He slowly got to his feet making sure that everything was alright. He took a hankerchief out and wiped the blood from his nose and cheek. "Thank you." He said looking at Alexis. He then looked at Isabelle and said "And thank you for having your wand with you." He smiled at the both of them unsure of his surroundings. It was one of the effects form the spell. Everything seemed familiar but he couldn't place it. He knew the people but not the place he was in. "Where are we exactly?" He said stupidly.
Looking around Isabelle she noticed that they were somewhere different then at Hogwarts. "Where are we, Alexis?" asks Isabelle thinking Alexis apparated them away from Hogwarts. Then she remembered that you couldn't apparate in or out of Hogwarts grounds unless the enchantments broke.
Alexis looked around cautiously. She sighed quietly, as almost if she were panicking. Apparently the spell didn't work right. She knew it the back of her mind this would happen. It was her fault.
"I- I don't know." Alexis stuttered. She almost felt like she wanted to scream. She might have doomed them all.
"Calm down, so far no one is hurt. We just kinda apparated to somewhere none of know." says Isabelle and she sat down on the ground and started to silently meditate to calm down.
Then a little girl started to appear with black shiny hair and a blue headband.
'Hello have you seen Riely around here I'm his cousin and I just arrived'.
Then she paused and looked around.Why do you look so.so.so.so......
Terrified?'.She asked with a gasp.
