*sinks her foot into yet another mud puddle, the hemm of her robe skimming the waters surface, rippling in the harsh wind and rain of a strong, unmerciful winter storm. walks on, wandless and unreachable, as a curse had been bestowed upon her, making her as powerless as a muggle, unreachable to her friends**her green eyes dont have their usual cheeriness, but have a tired, angry look in them, the tiredness from the many days` travel in, and to no where, the anger because she doesn`t remember at all how she got there**falls to the ground weakly and curls up in the mudd, pale, and closes her eyes, seeing flashes of the ministry people, running every way, dealing with the latest breakout of Voldemorts plan**blackens out, the only memory of her past life vanishing*
*wakes up hours later, the next morning**lifts her head and narrows her eyes toward the beaming sun**stands and looks around, trying to pick a way to go, and heads toward the sun, into a feild of tal grass and murky mudd...*
~*~Hours later*~*
*walks through the last patch of tall grass and steps into a wizarding town, and reads the sighn, Hogesmeade**sits on one of the benches, exhaussted, and confused, as has no memory of the place, or any wizarding things at all**looks arouind, slightly overwhelmed*
*wakes up in her bed, eyes focusing on the dark room around her, the only light comes from a crack in the curtains where the sun shown brightly in her waking eyes. She gets up and streches, not knowing she wasn't at home yet. Soon, her eys adjust to her surroundings. As she realised where she was, she gasped and darted ehr eyes around.*
Good morning girl" Her father said to her.
Father? Where am I?
*sudden;y shakes as sees a flash of a familiar girl with brilliant green eyes and black hair and a man, with the looks of a dead man, flickering before her eyes, and closes her eyes, straining to see more, but none comes**opens her eyes and stands, walking, trying to see if can find this girl....*
*Sudden;y remembers walking with Lavender and then gasps once again.* Where's Lavender? I didn't kill her did I?
Voldem0rt laughs* That girl is gone, she doesn't remember you any longer, forget about her, forget about your past, all that matters is the future.
*Kiara's eyes glow slightly green and she smiles. * Yes father. What do you need from me?
Voldem0rt grins in the dark, thinking his battle for his daughter over, thinking his Reign of power has begun.
*she walks areound aimlessly still, lookiung for the girl, but cantfind her**doesnt know why she even cares for this girl, but fells that has to find her**sits down at a table in a shop, and stares ut the window*
*Rises and walks out of the room with her father out to the drawing room of the mannor they are in. Kiara takes a seat on an old arm-chair facing the fire, her exestion lost in the flames*
*leans her forehead on the wet window as it begins to rain agian, and looks out, seeing another flash of the black haired girl*
WE'll start tonight, you can show my Death Eaters why it was so mportant for me to have you by my side, show them why so many died to have you here today.
Ok, father
*stares quietly out the window, growing paler by the second, then feints, her head falling onto her arms on the table*
Kiara takes her father's hand as she stands up from the chair and they walk from the mannor and out into the forest beyon, they reach a clearing as the sun begins to set.*
Look child, they come to gaze upon you, my Shadow.
*Kiara looks about in the failing light and can see torches illuminating the forest, heading towards them. Just as the first few Death Eaters apear, it can be seen they are holding a terrified Muggle male between them, he is bound and gaged.*
*a terrible pain runs through her heart, and at that same instant does it in Kiaras**jerks awake, gasping for breath because of it and is suddenly crying, though doesn`t understand any of it.....*
*Gasps slightly at the pain she fels, but swollows it own and stands straight at her fathers side as the las of the death eaters come into the clearing. They hold the Muggle before her.*
Voldem0rt steps forward* Now is the time for me to show you why I have worked so hard to gain control of this scorceress!
*sees the mans face before her eyes, she is seeing everything through kiaras eyes, and her head begins to spin, and is somehow sending all the pain to kiara**collapses to the table agian, straining to see more, to understand what she cant remember*
*Continues to shake off the total feeling of despair, holding it down, knowing she can't show it in the presence of her father. Voldem0rt turns to her then and smiles a dark, evil smile upon her.*
It's time, show me our loyalty, kill him..
*Gathers her will and lets loose a force, greater than normal, due to her pain, and sends the Muggle to air, where he screams out in pain quickly then is gone. Nothing left of him but a peice of his clothing falling to the ground, smouldering at her fathers feeet.*
*watches the man dissapear, and she cant take it anymore, feints* G2G, sry
(k)
*Stands up straight, her eyes taking on the redish glow of her father*
Voldemort starts a low menacing laugh* There you have it, so much power and it's MINE.
*The death Eaters all back away slowly from Kiara and look around for further traces of the Muggle. Murmers begin t be heard and then, Voldem0rt calls for silence. Then dismisses his death eaters and takes Kaira with him back to the Mannor*
*after many minutes of quiet unconciousness, awakens and sits up, still confused about every thing**stands up and exits the shop, then sees the castle**her mouth drops in awe at the sight of iot and she starts toward it, but is stopped abruptly by a blonde haired boy with a smirk on his face*
Draco: what are you up to Potter?
me:excuse me? who?
him:*seems to realize her confusion and slips his hand in hers, taking advantage of another attempt to get back at her friend Kiara* nevermind, hun
me:*looks confusidly at him for a moment, then accepts and follows him hand in hand into the castle*
*Sits quietly in the chair facing the fire once again. After a while, she closes jer eyes and falls asleep*
*she suddenly sees the girls face agian as they step inside te castle, and down to the slytherin dorms**sits on one of the couches, still not knowing where she is at all*
*As she sleeps, flashes of ehr friends faces and teh School, run through her mind like a picture book.*
*her eyes fix on draco as he sits next to her, and leans over to kiss her**something just doesnt feel right, though and she rises before he reaches her**she closes her eys and tries to think, of something, but nothing....then the girls ace floats before her eyes agian, and she is suddenly, somehow next to her**her mouth drops and she gently pokes the girl in the forehead to see if shes real or not, a quite funny sight**when the girl slightly shudders, she is spooked, and she lunges behind some furniture**braving it agian, she walks over to the girl and pokes her agian* (LOL)
(LMFAO!!! LOL)
*Opens her green eyes and they fix on Lav's face, seh tilts her head to the side as if trying to figure out who she is. She straightens her head again and stares at ehr.*~~Who are you?~~*She can remember faces now but no names come to her, she's forgeting her past.*
*she opens her mouth to answer, when she realises she doesnt know* I....I don`t know.....who are you? I`ve been seeing like..vision thingys of you...
*Waits for a moment* Names Shadow
oh...I would say nice to meet you, but I feel like I already know you shadow....
*Raises a brow* How intresting...I feel I know you as well. Perhaps, you are one of my enemies? If so, what is it you are doing in my dream? Perhaps...no, you are not a frined, The Shadow has no friends. I think I will have to think on this for a while, I don't wish to kill one that I am not angry with, for now.
*she doesnt seem scared, for some reason, a natural calmness seeming to pass through her* but why and how could I be one of your enimies if I dont even know who I am? And you have friends! *she says this last part without even knowing it, and doesn`t get why she said it*
I do? How incredibly intresting.
*her head begins to pound from all the frustration, and at that same instant, Kiaras does also**closes her eyes, not noticing Kiaras expresssion*
*Closes her eyes again, thus cutting off the connection to Lav. When she opens them this time, she is awake.*
*she opens her eyes also, the pain obvious in them* how am I doing that?
*As her mood turns to anger, the clouds form in the sky, soon, a massive storm sweeps the country. LIghtning hits the womping willow out side the school and starts it on fire*
*she stares at the girl, and suddenly realizes they are in that castle* where are we Shadow?
We are in my home, *The thunder roars out side as Kiara looks out the window, the flash of lightning hitting the Womping willow set it on fire and a red glow can be seen flickering across her face* And in your home as well.
this is my home? you dont seem to like it..why do i think this is my home?
this is the school you attend, is it not? Or have ytou forgotten that too? I do't like this place, it is full of people who don't want The Shadow to exist. *She has changed, both in voice and in looks. Her once redish black hair is now jet black, the white lock glowing brightly, hjer eyes have lost all green and now show only red and her skin is as pale as a ghost.* That one that Kiara used to call godfather looks over this place....He needs to die*
*she doesn`t understand it, so she joins her* I`ll help you if you want me too, to kill him
*Laughs a hollow spine chilling laugh that sends unwanted shivers down Lav's spine* You think yourself strong enough to kill him?
I said help shadow. *she also begins to grow angry, ignoring the feeling*
*Smiles an evil smile* Yes, help you can and will. All you need do is lead him to me, on some fools earand to help you stop some foolish students from doing evil deeds and I will be there and that is where the end of the all mighty Albus Dumbledore will cease to exist.
where is he?
*Smiles* Look out side, he';s extiguishing the flames from that old tree.
*goes over to the window, and looks at the tree* It moves?!
*gaze fixed on Dumbledore* Yes, the tree moves, it is a womping willow and that ld man seeems to like the stupid thing.
*now notices the man, and looks at Kiara* Who is that man?
*Sisghs irratibly* Dumbledore
o...ok..*walks out the door, to the grounds, and approaches the man*
*Dissapears from the window and is now waitng in a clearing in the forest for Lav to bring him to her. Hoping Lav. doesn't have any flash backs as to the fact that she is not evil*
Dumbledore turns to Lav.* Mss. Potter, what are you doing up this time of night and out here in this storm.
Hello Dumbledore...there some hurt animal in the forest..a unicorn I think, can you please come take a look?*she doesn`t wait for an answer, but starts into the forest, making him follow until they reach the clearing...*
*Steps out from behind a tree and smiles at Dumbledore* Thanks you Lavender...
Dumbledore stops and looks from Kiara to Lavender* What have you done....*To Lav* This is not suposed to happen so soon, not yet.
I have done nothing but take you here, man. The rest is the Shadows business. *she smiles an unknowing, dark smile, as she walks over to a tree and leans aginst it, watching*
*Dunbledore shakes his head slowly* No Shadow, it's not time, you know it the same as I do, you act against your father's wishes...He would not permit this fight to happen yet. You know you can't act with out him, there are still things I must compleat before we meet. Kiara, come away from there..*Using her name now.* Kiara, your father cheated, it is not he who brings out the Shadow, you know it, come back, Shadow, release her, it's not your time...
*Kiara's smile fades and is replaced with a frown that tells stories of hatred.* Kiara no longer exists old man, I will kill you, ---
*Voldem0rt shows up standing next to Kaira, his expresion less than jovial* Shadow, not now! *Grabs Kiara by the arm and together they disapear form the forest.
Dumbledore looks at Lavender.* Miss. Potter, you and I need a talk....
*she suddenly grows angry with him* WHY do people keep calling me that! *she then dissapears, reappearing in the common room, not knowing how she`d done it**she doesn`t understand why the shadow hadn`t killed him as she said she would**looks around to all the people in the room and frowns, walking over to te window*
*Kiara sits again in her chair next to the fire, he father pacing the floor next to her. His anger reflecting in her.* I had him, I could have destoyed him forever, why did you stop me. *Says angrily*
Vold - Because it's not time, you still have to do a few more things first and I need him for now, he's the key to the destruction of your former self, he and that BOY *Snarles when he thinks of Max*
*as she sits on the windowsill, she can sudden ly see the girl agian, the Shadow**stares at the man as if seeing out of her eyes**her head begins to pound, and she winces, trying to under stand again, what was going on*
*Looks at her father a red haze covering him through her own eyes. She stands and this is what Lav sees...*
A flash of red light and then darkness, then a forest, although it is covered on a red haze, it looks like the forbison forest, sudenly there are flames and again darkness. She can see Voldem0rt again. He is standing over her, then darkness again then nothing more.*
*she seems comfused at first, but has an urge to go look for her, and runs out side the common room and halfway down the staircase recklessly, before toppling headlong into Dumbledore*
Oh there you are Miss. Potter...*takes a hold of her this time, and brings her to his office and closes the door, knowing she can't leave his office he lets her go.*
It would seem we have had a little acident this winter. Do you even know who I am? DO you have the slightest idea where you are and what you're doing?
*Kiara screams which makes Lavs. ears ring painfully. *
*she places a haad n her ear for a moment, lettiung the ringing slow just a bit, before look up at him, speaking in a kind of off, curious tone* no....I know your name, buyt I do not know who you are, and I was helping the shadow, whats so wrong with that?
*she folds her arms and stares at him defensively, waiting for the old mans reply*
Dumbledore walks quietly over to a cupboard and opens it. He takes out a caldroun full of shining silver liquid and sets it on the desk. He then moves his wand over it and the stuff begins to swirl.* Take a looke in hear Lavender, then you'll see...
*she stares at the bowl for a moment, before a sudden curiosity gets the better of her, and she cautiously places the tip of her finger in the liquid*
*enters dumbledores office* *slams door behind him*You.*to dumbledore*Why didn't you tell me?!*things begin flying around the room,and candles blow out as Max's Anger rises.**flames rise in maxes eyes* SHE'S GONE TO HIS SIDE!AND YOU CAN'T EVEN OFFER ME A WORD OF COMFORT.
*Dumbledore looks quietly at Max for a moment then turns around and watches as Lavender looks into her life.* Are you quite done throwing your fit? It's too early for this MAx, you know as well as I do that the Shadow isn't ready to be drawn out yet. Do you honestly believe Kiara will let it take over now?
........-*is silent* *the objects stop moving,and the candles resume burning* *sits down calmly*sorry...I'm just...worried...is all...
*Smiles slightly* No worries Max, it was to be expected. I had no idea what had happened either until this one lured me intot he forest to the Shadow and , well, that's not important. Look, we've got to find her. Voldem0rt is having some trouble controling her so we might just be able to draw her out and then well, I guess it would be up to you to bring Kiara back to us. I only serve to further her intrest in killing, it would seem...
I heard him.*voice is cold when mentions v0ldmort*saying that...'we were the key to getting rid of her old self' anyway...what shall I do to find her?I could send her a thought....
You could, only be carfull, Kiara is in there, some where, but the Shadow controls her thoughts mostely and she'll be looking for a way to trap ou, don't believe everything you hear. *Loks worredly at Max for a moment.* She looks diffrent Max, don't get caught off guard by how she apears to you. It's not Kiara you will see, it is the Shadow.
*after some minutes of watching, she pulls herself out of the pensive before seeing it all* why did you show me this......?
For ou to find yourself. If it did not help, I am afraid more drastic measures are to take effect now. Who are you?
I-....I don`t know!! *closes her eyes and thinks, hard. but doesn`t remember a thing from her past*
*on the verge of sending kiara a thought* *stops/*Lavender?That stupid Bast*rd.hmmm...*looks to be thinking.*
*Shadow, paces the floor in wich her father had ordered her to stay. She is angry and waiting for a chance to again, seek out that which her father took away from her....the death of Kiara's godfather and the other one.*
~What was his name? Oh, Max, that was it, I suppose he too will have to go..~
*She looks even angrier as she feels the emotions of Kaira trying to push to the surface, a tear runs, unwanted, down the Shadow's face and suddenly the room catches fire, erupting in flames that surround her. The Shadow only laughs and the flames dissapear.*
~Stuipid girl~
Lavender?...*she falls silent, knowing that must be her name, as everyone is calling her that*
*feeels a sudden burst of sadness,and klnows that kiara is still in their*I think...I think I've got a better plan.Dumbledore.I'm going to find kiara.*dissapears**is on a street* *looks around* *sends a thought,directed at kiara,not the shadow*kiara?
*Although she sounds far away and tired, she answers* ~Max? Help me, ~ *She sends a picyure into Max of an old country farm and a Large Manner*
*dissapears again*
*The Shadow continues to pace, she feels the sudden stillness of Kaira in her mind.*
~What are you up to...~
*appears inside the mansion,as a golden retriever**walks into the room kiara is in* *barks,and wags tail*
*The Shadow turns and frowns at the dog* What are you? Some sort of watcher for Voldem0rt? *You best not shed all over the place, i'll shve your hair off if you do....
sends a thought, carefully to kiara*I'm here...what should I do to get rid of her?
*Sudden'y the Shadow cringes and holds her hands to her head.*
BitC h!
*Kiara figts for control over herself and after a few items go flying across the room and a few fires are set, The Shadow slowly dissapears and Kiara stnads looking at Max.*
Ok, now chnge back. I need you to help me get the hell outta here. My fathers coming and...
*Voldemort strides through the door, furious looking.*
What have youdone Kiara!
*He reaches for his wand, not noticing Max as of yet...*
*turns into self, standing in front of kiara*
*Voldemort raises his wand and yella* CRUCIO
The spell flys toward tehm, all seems to go in slow motion then Kiara pushes Max out if the line of the speeding surse, she falls to the floorand rolls the other way. Voldemort readies yet again for another attack....
*looks extremely angry...*You...*pulls out wand*
*Voldemort growls and sends yet another Crutatious curse towards Max.*
Kiara stands shakily againt the opposite wall form them. Drained of power, both physical and other.Seems to be fighting her own battle inward*
*sweeps away the curse*getting stupider?
*Voldem0rt growls again then smiles, Raises his wand towards MAx then with lightning speed, changes direction and sends the killing curse towards his daughter...*
Kaira looks up in shock then her face turns to exceptance...She looks apologeticly at Max as the curse hits her in the chest, but at the same instant, a blackness surrounds her and when it goes, Kaira still stands, although, a bit less lively looking than before. She falls to the floor and is out.*
NO! It can't possibly! *Voldem0rt looks on in terror as he realises his daughter took his spell and lived, he dissaperates and is gone.*
*looks a bit confused*okay...*checks to make sure kiara is okay* *picks her up,and dissapears*
*Comes to shortly after max reaches the school. She opens her eyes and smiles* I knew you'd come....*Puts her arms around his neck as he carries her.*
*smiles* *kisses her* *they reapear in the ofice*
*Max still holding her Dumbledore looks startled*
Welcome back Kaira..Max? *Dumbledore notices the change in Kaira right away. She seems...diffrent, missing something.*
*Kiara smiles* You can let me down now Max, I'll be ok.
*senses this to,but feels that whatever she's missing is something thats okay to be missing*
*Kiara now sits on the chair, waiting for someone to ask her what happened. She is smiling broghter than ever before.*
Dumbledore: Well? What's going on ?
*looks at kiara*
*Looks happily up at the two of them* She's gone. Voldem0rt killed the shadow.
*looks suprised*
*Laughs slightly* Well, that's why he was so angry. He personaly killed his one chance at total domination over te planet. Stupid git, should learn to control that temper of his.
*she stares at the girl, and her expression becomes deathly cold* What?
*smiles happily,and,though he knows lavender can't help it,shoots her a cold look*
Lavender, The Shadow is dead. Voldem0rt killed her. You, need to remember who you are. You are a Potter and Voldem0rt also killed your parents....
*Looks sternly at her then turns a thankfull look to Max.*
I don't mean to sound ungrateful...but their has to be some sort of catch.Our children...or something...
*Sighs* I know Max...I, I am afraid of....*Pauses then turns her face to him, she is smiling*
Did you say our childreN?
*Blushes slightly*
So, how many we gonna have>
I dunno...maybe 3 or 4?
*Giggles and looks at Dumbledore then back to Max*
When do we start?
Dumbledore:*chuckles slightly*Perhaps you should wait a bit....
*Grins* Ya, I think we should however...*Starts to giggle again* Nevermind, we'll talk about it later.... About this Shadow thing...What do you suppose will happen now? I know he she wasn't supposed to die and somthing has changed because of it. What do you think will happen?
Dumbledore:I have a hunch...*pulls out a book-* *opens it up and gasps slightly*Your prophecy...Its chnged.
*Looks curious then stands and walks over to stand next to Max.
*Waht? I don't get it, the prophacy changed, in the book even? What does it say?
*dumbledore reads aloud*Slytherins decendent will have two children,a boy and a girl....etc,etc,etc...Both will be his downfall. The daughter...will have the ability to turn into an arch angel. together the son&daughter will destroy the dark lord.
*Raises her brow* Archangel? But doesn't one have to die to become an angel? Hum, what's going to happen? d**n!
*Covers her mouth as she realises she let slip a curse word*
Sorry but, I just don't get it.
*she remains silent mulling it over, then slips out of the room as the others are in thought of the prophecy, and leans aginst the wall outside of the door, forcing herself to remember something-anything**her body suddenly becomes overthrown in pain and she falls to her knees, screeming, remembering everything in such a rush her head begins to pound*she remembers everything agian, up untill that point, remembering the reason she was forced to forget everything, being litrally cast out of her mind with the Cratactis curse and she alls to her side, still screaming, feeling the serious amount of pain that had been bestowed upon her, as if she should have felt it when she didn`t, as if it was punishing her**she hugs her ribs tightly, untill the pain finally subdues, leaving her in a small heap on the floor, tear streaks running every which way down her face, and she falls quiet, silently weeping under the curtians of hair sheilding her face*
well...this is just a guess,but,maybe since a part of you died....
*Thinks about it for abit then looks at Max* Perhaps it does make sence..I hadn't thought about it like that but ya, and just so you know, it does feel strange with out her there.
it does,how?
*She looks at max then sighs* well, its kinda hard to explain. You know how I am usually realy uptight and get angry fast? well, I feel at peace, almost as if, nothing could bother me. I also, feel, well, sorrta numb inside like empty, it's odd but, I think I actually miss her in there....
dumbledore:*nods head in understanding*yin and yang. All things usually have to have good and bad. She kept you on balance.but,perhaps,its better this way.she was going to take you over.
smiles yet again* I know, and don't get me wrong here, i am glad she's gone, I just fell empty with out her, that's all. perhaps thia Archangel...*Shivers at the thought of becoming a worrior angel* will be a little less, shall we say, aggressive?
*snorts slightly*an agressive angel?
*Laughs* Have you ever read the stories of th eArchangels of heaven? they are not excatly the nicest. Although seldome did they ever get abgry...
*laughs to*well,thats the point of an arch angel,isn't it?a warrior.
ya, I wonder when she'll show up? Hey, are we finished in here yet godfather? I thnk I really need to go lie down for a bit.
D:yes,I believe so.
Thanks. *Stands up and turns to leave but stops and turns back around....*
That Prophecy, does it say anything about what might happen now that Voldem0rt can no longer take control of me? Does it say anyhting about what he might try to do now?
No,It doesn't...but I am going to look into it.
*Gives Dumbledore one last thankfull smile then turns and walks out*
*she remains where she had fallen, as she had fallen into a slight daze*
*Steps out the door and sees Lav. Goes over to her and sits on te floor next to her*
Are you going to be alright?
*she looks up and ijmmediately hugs her friend, sobbing into her shoulder* I`m so sorry K...
*Hugs her back* Lav, it's alright hun, no worries. i'm just glad we've got you back, it's not your fault
*after her sobbing finally ceases, she finally, lets go* thanks..*she forces a watery smile, and stands, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand*
*Stands with her and taes her hand* Let's get to the kitchen and get you a drink.
*Wonders when Max is coming out of the office but decides he can find her, Lav needs her just now*
k..*she smiles at her, and follows her to the Kitchens quietly*
They are greeted by several house elves and Kiara askes for some butterbeer*
*after she recieves her butterbeer, she thanks the elves and takes a sip, and smiles thankfully at kiara*
*Returns her smile and sips her own.*
Man, this stuff tastes good, seems even better when one doesn't feel 100%
*she smiles at her and nods* cheers to that *she takes another sip*
Yes, cheers to that. *Drinks along with her.*
*she smiles, then reaches out and hugs her* thanks K...
*Suprisingly, Kiara hugs her back, snuggly* you are more than welcome..sis.
*she squeezes her tightly, then finally lets her go, a warm smile curving on her lips, but fading quite abruptly* what did I do...to everyone...when I couldn`t remember, I mean...? *she looks a bit scared to know, and it suddenly becomes obvious that it wasn`t the first time this has happened*
Lavebder, you did nothig that was as ba das what I did, you meerly got misslead by the Shadow who used you the way m father uses all his followers, that's all hun
*she sighs in relief, and her smile plays true this time, a relived happiness emitting from her eyes**she takes another sip of her drink*
*Smiles and winks at her* Besides, you couldn't ever do anyhting too bad, I'd have to smash htat cream cake over there in your face if you did.
*she giggles, glancing down at the cake in her palm, and she instinctively smashes it in Kiaras face* HA! *she then turns away and runs, knowing fair well she was going to be caught anyway*
*Is stunned for but a second then laughs and just as Lavender expected, she is suddent drenched, from hea dto foot is wet, sticky Pumkinjuice.*
HA! Take that!
*she gasps, and stops running, then turns and throws more cakes at her*
*laughs again and takes the cake she indicatred earlier and tosses it to smash in her face*
*she gasps agian, then begins to laugh*
*laughs again, or rather, still.*
I needed that.
*she finally calms* ya...me too... *she smiles at Kiara* thanks agian
Any time hun, any time
*she smiles, then hugs Kiara agian* c`mon, lets get back into the common room before Filtch catches us*
*hugs her in return then smiles*
Ya, just what I don't need, is yet another detention.
*she smiles at her, then starts out of the room and toward the common room*
follows, keping an ear out for any foot steps*
*she turns the knob of the common room and enters, relieved that they weren`t caught, and she plops onto the couch tiredly, exhausted from the day`s happenings*
*Follows suit and then closes her eys and in imeadiately aslwwp*
*she sleeps on through the night, and wakes up before the sun does, and, seeing she is the only one up at this hour, she throws on her cloak and heads out to the grounds**she welcomes the quiet, brisk air, which alone seems to calm her as she stands near the lake**a small smile forms on her face as she stares across the surface, glad to be home agian, and tears begin to run down the curves of her cheeks unchacked, her mind lost in the brilliant geenish-red glow that appears over the mountians*
*Wakes with a start, feeling odd and a bit diffrent than ever before. Something burns inside her, she has no idea what it is. She sits up, putting her head in her hands and doubles over at teh incredible pain in nit only her head but her heart as well. She feels a great sorrow and does not know why*
*her eyes widen slightly as she feels a cold item in her pocket, and she retrieves a gold watch, from the Death Eater that had captured her that night**she angrily throws it, watching as is plunges into the water, sinking to the depths of the lake, never to be seen agian, and she falls to a sitting position, bringing her knees up to her chest and locking her arms around them**she rests her forehead on her knees and cries harder, out of anger and hurt, of being taken advantage of, and of being used only to create havoc around her friends**her shoulders shake as she sobs openly, her cries lost in the mornig breze flowing throughout the grounds*
*Sudden anger replaces that sorrow and her eyes begin to change for the first ime, into the deep, endless blackness of the Archangel. Kiara stands and then falls foward on to the ground as her mind wheels, memoris flashing in her head, not just hers though, these memories are ancient, of places she's never seen before, momories of an ancient evil and the destruction of a planet then she transorms totaly into the Angel, a large smile spreading across her face, showing rows of sharp, perfetly white teeth and she laughs*
Alive at long last, my maker wll be glad......
*she shivers a bit as she sences the Archangels power, but she remains still*
*The archangel loks about the common room with disintrest then walks out of the porthole and down the halls, ignoring all the eyes and whispers concerning her*
*she stands quietly, knowing something is definately wrong, and she wipes the tears from her eyes in annoyance*
*Continues to walk about the school, exploring her new surroundings, facinated by the way tings are, she's been sleeping for millions of years and it's all a bit diffrent now.*
*she stare after the angels form for a slight moment, then looks back out over the lake, at loss for words*
*Collin snaps a picture of her and the Angel looks at him, he floats momentarily in the air then she lets him back down again*
Intresting....
*walks on*
*she walks over to the Angel and taps her on the shoulder in annoyance, not caring how stupid she was acting, but hating her for all she was* excuse me MISS. May I help you? *her tones dripped in angry sarcasm as she folds her arms across her chest waiting for a responce*
*she taps her foot angrily onto the ground, waiting for whatever may come*
*Turns an intrested eyes on lav.*
Yes, human? What is it i might be able to help you with?
((Remember, the angel has not done a single thing bad yet and this is the first any has seen f her so Lav has no real reason to hate her.))
(that was the Shadow...oooo....and then yes, lavenders moody little ways..lol)
*her eyes grow curious, as she realizes this is not who she thought it to be, but she locks up her mind, just in case* yes, I see you are new....do you need help with anything? *she searches for something to say*
*The ANGEL regards Lav. for a moment then a small smile crosses her features, showing the tips of her long, sharp fangs*
As a matter of fact, human. I might at that.. MY name is Lalista, I have been awakened and I must know what place this is. It has been thousands of years since I last laid eyes on this world and I have little knowledge of what has transpired.
Have all the non magical humans died? It would seem that this place is onlt full of those with limited, to high, magical talent...and like you, most seem to be very young.
*she ignores this last comment* My name, is Lavender.
No, the non-magical people have not yet become extinct. This is Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where magical people may learn to weild their talents; to find where some are unique, or not...What would you like to know about the lands? I`ve spent time liv-- going through them, I may be able to help. *she looks straight ahead of her, from where she walks, at Lalistas side*
(LOL, OOps, that was Kalista. heehee)
What has changed? Are there still Monarchies through out the world? Has the Rivan Line been succesfull in bringing forth the Prohecies? I sence Salazar Slytherin here, perhaps he has not perished?
(lol, I thought sumthin was wrong..*giggles*)
The monarchies of the world before have since become olmost completely obliverated. That was before the Great Wars of Man and Wizard. Now, there are new ways of ruling. Quite plainly, the governments of now are hell. They do not know how to understand and overcome this new evil. They are spread; more than they think they are, really. The prophecies are stores in the Department of Mysteries, in the Ministry of Magic, `round London. Salazar Slytherin no longer romes this earth, but his direct decendant, Voldamort, does.
Perhaps that is what I sence. You have a strong hatred for this one they call Voldem0rt, do you not? Also, Kiara, the one in my mind, she seems to hate this person with more pasion than any I have felt before....
Voldem0rt...*Wispers his name*
yes...*she growls* Kiara and I have similar feelings toward this man. If you can even call him that.
*she shakes her head in discust*
*sees lav and the angel on her way out of the forest. Runs up to them*Hey lav? *looks at the angel with curious eyes*
Yes? *her tones are flat, condemning the aroused anger within her at the thought of Voldem0rt*
*Kalista looks down at Ginny and a curious expresion crosses her features.*
Hello, little one. You smell of the forest animals, do you speek with them often?
*takes a step back, becoming defensive* Yes, I speack with them, I compleatly understand them. Who are you? *looks at kalistas eyes, trying to figure if she is evil or not*
*Kalista's eyes are as unreadable as her mind and body language. There is no telling rather she is evil or good, for she is neither, she is a true nutral when evil and good come into play, not caring either way as to what end is met.*
You seem a bit taken aback at my statement, little one, I just speak what I know, nothing more. I am Kalista, and you are?
*looks at her suspiciously* I'm Ginny Weasly. How do you know that i spend time in the forest?
You smell like the forest. *Sayas it so offhand, like any one would know that it is almost funny. ZShe then turns to Lavender and tilts her head.*
So, wolf,shoul we walk? Or is there nothing else you want t otell me of this earth?
*looks at lav* I don't care if you want to be alone with her. I can't trust her so if you go somewhere I'm coming.
alright Ginny...yes, let us walk...*she begins to walk, slipping her hands beneath the folds of her pockets, her eyes gently, lovingly running over the earth before her, and she sighs, her eyes showing the first bit of such strong emotion since months ago; a pure sadness. A knowing look crosses over her features, so strong that even the angels heart is touched in just the slightest by her love for the land, then it is gone,replaced by a blank stare. The hated secret, brought up again. Yet it seemed sadder, in fact, that all knew of the secret, but they are ignorant, and they don`t see what haunts so near them*
The earth dies, beneath our feet. Man began and remain ignorant to its needs. To the needs of those there before us. Where once lay a flat, grass plain, holding a sea of secrets of its very own, now poses a river of machinery, or there lay no land left at all. Forests of old, drenched in the past, growing for their own, die as we speak in the hands of others, the poisons that pollute our old home-*she pauses, her voice breaking for a moment, then she finds it again, starting off in a different direction, not wanting to speak of that*-sainctuaries. Magical creatures once roamed these lands in many. As you and I both know, that is not the case, now. *her voice remains cold and tired. Olmost drowning in weariness, her eyes blankly lost over the area before her*
*frowns* Fortantly, there are people like me and Lav that still care for the Earth, though what little we can do will almost never catch up to the destruction. Thats why I'm always in the forest, as it is one of the few magical forests left...*looks at the ground*
As I have feard, the magical world is being taken over by the machines of man. Have no worries though, it is said that the world will take back it's lands from the machines, one day...
*Her expresion is quite unreadable but her gaze is not ficused on anything of the earth.*
*apears*
*Kalista turns an odd look about the angels face as she sees Max.*
I, know you, do i not?
*lets his wings appear,and his hair turns gold*Yes,you do...*bows head*we've met before...
Awe, yes..I do remember, seems to me, the last time I saw you, you were impaile don the end of my sword.
*The angel grns mischiviously*
How's the wound, I trust you healed well.
*scowls*Of course I do...where,exactly is kiara?
*she nods toward Kalista, then raises an eyebrow toward Max, but remains silent*
*grins an almost too sweet grin*
Sleeping.
*laughs hollowly*sleeping? *looks at kalista as though she is an intruder*
*Is quite indifrent to his wmotions and then turns to the forest*
Yes, sleeping.
was it,by any chance...a forced sleep?
You hurt me? Would I EVER do anything like that? I just simply woke up before her this morning, that's all.
*Looks both unhurt by his words and seems to mock him at the same time*
*stares at her so coldly she feels it*well,then,why don't you just take a little nap then?*says in an extremly low dangerous voice,a burning coming from his words,that she can feel*
*Smiles anoyingly at his anger then tilts her head to the side.*
What, is the little boy missing his playmate? No, I am not ready to sleep yet. You can always play with me...I am much more entertaining than the little princes Kiara.
*She grins, letting her fangs show and her black eyes flicker with electicity. Her whole being sugests that she has no intention what so ever of letting Kaira come out, any time soon.*
*flashes his own fangs,angrily*
*Begins to laugh, well, not really a laugh, it's more like a spine chilling evil, grating sound, very unhuman. Even the surrounding trees shake at it's feel. She then turns and jumps into the air, spreading her wings wide and saors to the clouds and looks down at Max.*
Did I get you all excited? I am so sorry, I have no time for your games to day little one. I must find my old master, first....
*follows,to her annoyance*
&Annoyed at firsdt but then smiles*
I welcome the help but, I think i can repay my oewn debts, thanks...
I'm willing to come any way*smiles smugly* *looks a bit pissed off with her still about tricking him before*
*Laughs a little*
Are you still angry, after all these years?
*laughs again and flys further to the West*
*catches up to her with great ease to her suprise*wow,you've got a bit of kiara in you,you know?well let's head off then...*flys in the exact direction she wants to go-*
*Pauses in the air at his Kaira comment then shakes her head thinking it's impossible then takes off after him, catching up easily enough*
You love her don't you? Don't worry...I'm not around to take her away from you, I 'm not like the shadow that sleeps with in her.
*smiles gently,then flinches at the shadow comment*what?!she's still in there?
*Looks sadly at Max then smiles, a truely angelic smile that could melt an ice-berg.*
The shadow sleeps with in her yes, but she is not the sme. She seems to be changing, I fear soon, even i won't be able to fight her off. She's turning into something...almost as if she waiting for something to happen. No Max, she never did die, you can't kill a shadow, only block it from the light for a time....beware the future, something will happen to set this new creature alive, and am afraid of it, do not tell Kaira, she needs not to worry about htis just now, she's too happy. Let her dream for a while longer.
*Kalista turns from Max then, ending the conversation and dives toward the great gate of hadies and burst through it's doors, knocking the great guardian, Cerubus to the ground all ion one fell swoop. She pauses and turns to Max and smiles*
I always hated htat Dog.
*smiles a smile usually reserved for kiara*You are so compatible...I understand why you are within her...*follows her*
*Raises a brow, much the same as Kaira would have then shakes her head and smiles*
I'll take that as a compliment.
*She lands gracefully on the ground and walks, her bare feeet making no sound, her wings folded neatly behind her, into a cave, leading down to the devil's lair
*follows suit* *looks around,a horrible memory creeping into his mind* -*shiver slightly*
*as they walk down the corridor of the cave, hands seem to shoot from the walls, trying their best to grast hold of the intruders. Kalista finaly tires of dodging them, stops, growls then the walls suddenly burst into flames.*
There, much better...
*Walks on*
*smirks slightly*excellent...
*Smiles, although Max can't see it then turns a corner and stops, just at the entrance to the devil's lair. He is sitting on his dias and he looks very displeased to see her.*
*Kalista walks, uncaring and unfrightened to the foot of his throne.*
I do belive you have something that belongs to me.
*looks at the devil,a bit afraid but holding his gorund*
D- No kalista, what I posses is mine, not yours. You lost it the moment you decided to turn away from me. I killed you then, what makes you think I will not kill you now?
*His voice would send chills down the backs of normal men but Kalista growls.*
No old man, you will not kill me, I posses somthing that you desire more than anything else. Look inside of me Devil, finsd what i posses then tell me you won't give me my soul back.
*stares at kalista*wh-*stops in mid sentence*
*The Devil hisses in anger and Kalista is thrown into a wall, pinned to the spot. She laughs*
You found her, didn't you old man. You found what you seek. nOw, give me what I want, and I'll go away.
*sends her a thought**you didn't mention that he took kiara...*
*Returns the thought* he doesn't get her
he better not.
*Gives Max an anoyed look as and thinks "AS IF!" Then grins at the Devil.*
Give me what I want and I'll not darken your steps again, old man.
D-Chuckles evily.* No Kalista, what's mine is mine and I am afraid, unless you do something for me, you shall not recieve your property.
K- *Slides down the wall, as he has released her then stands in front of the Devil, his horned head and his massive structure tower over the 6 foot angel. She glares at him, total resolve, unafraid and angry.*
What is it you want this time. *Growls*
*stares at kalista*
D- Stares at his former slave and growls likewise back at her, Kalista holds her ground and stares steely into his burning eyes.*
D- There's a golden trinket in Kiara's room, bring it to me.
K- Why?
*The cavern shkes sluightly at the Devils anger.* Do not question me Kalista, I only keep you alive for the sake of my bride, but if you persist in questioning me, that won't matter any longer and that one...*Turns and looks at Max* Will be the first to go.
K- *Growls* You touch one hair on htat one's head and I can ,....*Stops, thinking better of it then simply nods her head.*
It is done then, Master *She says this last like she had just bitten into a rotten apple. then, she turns towards Max and the entrance and walks out, taking her steps backwards, not trusting to turn her back on the Devil*
D:He will stay here. As Collateral. A just trade,don't you think?
*Stops, puts her arm ion from t of Max* I don't think so, what assurancedo I have he won't be harmed...
D:well,then why don't I take something he doesn't need. *he moves his septor,there is a blinding flash*
*Flinches*
*after the flash,max is still standing,but he seems un human. power is eminating from him* *looks arouind*
*Hisses and glares at the Devil*
You better put him straight when I return....
*She growls once more then is gone*
*dissapears after her* *reapears close to her*
*With out looking at him, she wlaks up the stairs to the girls dorm and opens the door, walks in and to Kaira's bed side, she opens a small chest and reaches in, grasping a blood-red gem from it's inners. seh sighs then looks at it and then once again, she dissapears*
*appears next to her*
*Holding the stone in her hand, she apraoches the Devil, her head bowed in submision, one last time. Her eyes glinting with a hatred not known to any mortal.*
Put him right.
d:you don't even know what I've done to him.*laughs,knowing she knows*
Put him right or I'll destroy the link between you and your wife. You'll never even have a chance after that and you know it. Put him back.
*Her voice gains power as her anger grows.*
devil:*laugfhs at the wife comment*You mean the sweet angel who was sent out of heaven for falling to temptation,and giving birth to demon spawn?
*With clenched teeth* The same, now put him back!
*bows head mockingly*as you wish.*waves septor,there is another flash and max is back*
*looks around*what happened?
Max. leave, now...
*Her tone leaves no room for argument and she will not give up the stone until he is gone*
*dissapears*
*Holds her hand out and the stone flys to the Devil, Kalista growls and then steps back from the dias, her eyes glowing whith her pure hatred.*
(g2g)
(K)
d:*smiles sinesterly*thankyou.
*Glares at him* Now give me what is mine.
oh,but you seemed to be enjoying spending time with the boy.Why don't I let you have him all to yourself?
he's not mine, he belongs to Kaira and you know that. It is not your time yet. With out Max, kaira would....*She trails off knowing well what he means*
Just give me what is rightfully mine and I will leave.
*laughs*fine,if you must have it. *kiaras spirit appears on the wall,chained,looking angry*
*Growles* You got what you wanted, I ..Leave them alone. Give me my soul back you pumped up bloated old goat!
D:Fine as you wish...You free her yourself,I grow weary.
I will find a way to keep her from you, you know that, don't you...AMx holds her away from you and I..Never mind, I think you can hold my soul.
*Thinking, knowing that if she becomes free, she would no longer be a part of Kaira and that would leave Kiara unprotected. She turns to leave but pauses, not looking at him again but in a quiet voice*
Listen to me well, Satan. For thousands of years I killed and gained souls for you to play with. For thousands of years ou have punished me, held me under the world, away from hte stars and still, I did your bidding with out question. Now, I am afraid i am through with you, nothing you can do to me now will ever make me do one single thing for you ever again. Mark my words, Satan, I WILL be your destruction, even if it means rendering the earth usunder, I will defeat you.
d:*rolls eyes,and releases kiara* *kiara flys back to her body*
*Nods her head, still not looking at him and walks out of his den*
*max stands waiting for kiara*
*Kalista's form shimmers then dissapears, Kiara walks to Max, looking around at the desolate plain they are treding on. She shudders a little and then looks questionaly at Max.*
What are we doing here?
*explains to her what happened,and how the devil took her*
He's got my stone then. *Not a question but a statement.* Very well, so it starts.
*raises a brow*what,exactly are you going to do?
Anything I can to keep him from gaining total control over me. I beat my father, I can beat him too. The dark Agel gave up her soul to keep me protected, it's the least I can do to make sure I hold up my end...some how....
*smiles half heartedly*yeah,I'm sure you will.
Not with out your help.
*smiles*I'd be glad to help you.
Let's get outta here.
*Looks around nervousely*
*nods*good idea...*grabs kiaras hand,and they dissapear,and reappear in the slytherin common room*
*is sitting on a chair talking to a slythirn first year, then jumps up and grins at them* hey, Kiara, your back! Where were you guys?
*Sits down on the couch and stares at he fire*
This is diffrent Max, My father wasn't this strong, I don't know how long I can hold him off....If I..
*Trails off.*
*shakes head*your father is the least of your worries...
No, I mean The devil, his power is so much stronger, I, can feel him tugging at me even as we speak. The more I try to ignor, the stronger it gets. I don't know Max, I , I'm trying. Don't loose me, ok? Why did she give it to him?
*shakes head*I can't get that....
I'm not expecting you to get the stone for me, I don't want you to even try. He'd take you away from me at his pleasure then, I would be left alone. i can't do this alone...
(Sorry,wrong one....ignore ythe last post...)She gave it to him,because the devil was holding you hostage...
*Sighs* But now, he holds me hstage in yet another way, one in which I am afraid can be even worse.
But,you've got kalista to help you...
yes, indeed I do, the only problem with that is he too, holds her soul......
...not quite as much...*looks a bit unsure*
*ods her head* Ok fine, we play it that way. Kalista against him.. No she can help but we can not pit them against each other, you heard her, did you not?
She;d gladly destroy the entire world just to destroy him.
*raises a brow*You heard that?
*Nods* I was begining to wake at that point.
wake?
Ya, come back to conciouseness. You see, Kalista takes over when I am asleep. I wil stay asleep until she thinks she wants to go away or, until I want out. It's kinda hard to explain. So, what's she like Max? This is the first time she's made herself present...what's she like>?
She's Like you...
*Smiles* Really?
*nods*Yeah....But she convienently forgot to tell me,that the devil had you.
*Shakes her head.* SOunds like something I would have done....Is she pretty?
*raises a brow*How do you want me to answer that,exactly?
*laughs* Is she pretty? That's how I want you to answer that. *Laughs some more* Don't worry Max, I won't go all postal on you if you tell me she's pretty.
well,she's as pretty as you...
*SmilEs than thinks* Cool. Hey, it seems that I need to go do something to get my mind off things, any ideas?
...how about you pick your favorite spot?
*Flashes a smile* Ok then...* in a flash they are up in the mountains and Kaira has swung her legs over the side as soon as they apear.
*looks down*amazing...
I know...come sit with me
*puts his legs down**scoots closer to her*
*lays her head n his shoulder and crys silently
8
*puts an arm around her*
I don't want to ever forget this place, you either, remember it, ok? Even if I'm gone, remember to come jhere for me, k?
*nods*I'll always remember...
*Cuddles in closer to him and just stares out over the forest below* I love you.
I love you to...
Hey, *sits up* want to go for a flight?
a flight?oh...sure!*turns into a phoenix*
*Smiles and for the forst time ever, turns hersefl into a phoenix too, only her form is black with metalic looking green edges She flys off*
*flies after her*
*Flys around for a bit then dive bombs him and takes off again*
*flys fastly toward her,then dissapears*
*spreads her wings out far and comes to a compleate hault and looks around. Then shimmers and fades from veiw and reapears far off the the right of her last postion*
*appears just ahead of her*
*Stops abruptly, just before running into him, winks then after flying circles about him, takesoff yet again*
*looks dumbfounded for a moment,then,speeds after her*
*Swoops towards the ground*
*explodes in fireworks,leaving no trace except a feather*
*Looks as shocked as a bird can, then hovers in the air, looking about*
*another boom,and apears a few feet in front of her,then takes off*
*Takes off after him then slows, her image fading to human again, against her will and she starts to fall, uncontious*
*flies down after her*
*Opens her eyes and sees him coming down after her, but transforms again and lands*
*lands,turns human*What happened?
*Shakes her head* Not sure, it felt like something reached in and ripped out my life for a moment then suddenly put me back....*Looks confused* I really don't know.
....*looks confused*what?uh...Normally,I would say we should do something...But if you have no idea why....
*Shrugs8 Well, I guess could chalk it up to the devil doig smething...If it was him then I think we do have a problem, or atleast I do. I don't think I'll fly for a while until I'm sure though. *Smiles weakly*
*nods sadly*
*Goes aver and puts her arms around his shoulders and looks at him, her emerald eyes full of thought*
*kisses her*
*Kisses him back then pulls away* I think we should get back. It's starting to get dark and we are a ways from the school grounds....
yeah...*holds her hand,and they dissapear*
*gives him a sa dloko just before they dissapear. The arrive on the school lawn and Kaira, still holding his hand, begins to walk towards theschool*
*looks at her*whats the matter?
*Shrugs* I just realised that it was the devil who did that, he was jelouse of you and I haveing so much fun...I think I'm going to have to put an end to that.
*Her eyes flash in a sudden anger and once again, the air about her goes turbulant as she walks to the door, it flys open before her and she marches, angrily in*
er...kiara...
*Turns half way and regards him* what?
are you sure about this?
No one, and I mean no one, i odn't care who it is... will stopme form being with you all i can be. Yes, I am sure about this. *Her words are calm and steady and she doesn't even look angry but everything about her shows she is.*
okay...how about you bring some help?
what ever you wish, I'll meet them down there....*Dissapears but not before kissinghim lightly n the cheek and smiling, like she was actually goint o enjoy this.*
*sighs* *turns into an angel and grudgingly mutters his worst enemys name*Evan...
*Arrives on the barren plains of hell and walks towards the cave ashe knows shelters the devil. Suddenlt a shape of a man apears, his hair is long and almost silver and his eyes red, he's dressses in ld gothic stle clothing of a nobal man, he bows and smiles at her. kaira narrows her eyes, he anger still welling with in her but she's put in check by the pure power eminating from this character.*
Lady Kaira..
Yes?
*max and evan appear behind her*
*the man's eyes show a glint of hatred at he sight f the two males and he steps forward, taking a stnned Kaira by the arm and walks her away from them.*
Max,...Evan, what ever ar eyou doing home? *the man glatrs at Evan then at Amx.* I do believe this is between Kaira and me. Did you honestly think she'd be yours forever Max? And tsk, Evan, a fallen angel you can become with those feelings for her. She 's not for you sin, run and play now.
*Kiara doesn't move she's still shocked. But her words do come to her*
I, don't belong with you, I belong with amx.,,,
*evan pushes max aside,to maxes annoyance* *he puts his hand out,and kiara flys out of his clutches and holding hands with Evan* Evan:Leave her alone.
*No expresion*
D- *Laughs* I don't know why you try so hardt o have her for your own, Evan, but if that's what you want, it makes no diffrence to me, either way, she'll stand at my side when I take over the upperworld. You with her, or not....
*pushes evan of her* *whispers in kiaras ear*I won't let that happen...
*Closes her eyes then when she opens then, she fixes them on the Devil.* You will leave me alone, you will NOT try the thng you tried today again. I know why you did it, you knew I'd come down here...
D- Cuts her off with a sharp look* You Will NOT talk to your master on that manner...
*Kiara falls to the ground, doubled over in pain and the Devil laughs*
Silly little girl, you are no match for me(Not yet) he reminds himself.
Maybe,You've been paying too much attention to her...*his hair glows,wings unfold,and a Lion appears on his forhead*
D- *Looks between the two guys am angry look on his face* Take her, I can alway bring her back when she's alone...
She won't ever be...And Give me her stone..Now..
D- *Smiles wickedly* That, young angel, is not yours, it belongs to me and it will not, fall into your hands, nor will it ever fall into the hands of you, Evan..Kiara's powers are what i'm after and they WILl aid me when the time comes, I tire of this conversation...
*The three of them are pushed out of the underworld and it seals shut behind them, all they can hear is the lingering laughter of the Devil*
K--*Stands up shakily* Sorry....and, thanks
Evan:your welcome and...*moves in for a kiss*
*pushes him to the floor*Not...so fast...
*Looks between the two* Hum, *Clears her throat* Guys?
(lol you guys!)
Wait for me guys *runs in*
Evan and max as one*What?!
*Shakes her head* Knock it off...k?
Fine..*glares at Evan*
*sighs* Evan, Max, look, right now, I need you both so please..try to get along and Evan, stop trying to move in on me, it's not nice. You're lucky Max didn't blast you into oblivion.
Evan:*Laughs hystericaly*
Max:*sighs*shutup...Theres no time for laughing at the moment....
*Shakes her head* Ok, now, we know that he doesn't care who I go to, but he seems to think that when he wants, I'll stand with him, he must know somethng that we don't and I don't particulary like that..*Glares at the two* Stop sulkking and pay attention. Now, any ideas?
we could try to get your stone back...
Evan:*laughs coldly*And how do you expect to get it from the devil?
*glares*YOU haven't any Ideas..
*Shakes her head again* Look, we've tried that one, but I don't hink in all honesty that wed get it from him. There has got to be something else. I don't nessasarily think it has to do with the stone at any rate. He seems to be powerfull enough to do as he will with out it. We can't defeat him in a straight out battle, he let us go this time. He let us go almost too easily....
*Thinking*
*thinks*Eyes widen....*what if...Well,Not evreyone has a stone like that,right?Its got to be controlling you with a spell of some sort,Maybe if you find a way to break the spell,The stone won't control you anymore...
*Thinks then smiles* Perhaps you're right...I don't know,....It's worth a try, most definately.
*Evan:wow,Johnson,You've actually had a good Idea...*he folds his wings,and normal street clothes appear on him*
*Shakes her head again* Ok, now, what kind of spell would be used for something like that?
Evan:Very,dark,ancient magic...
guess it's out with the books again then....
Evan:Its not in any book.......On earth.....
*Raises her brow* Well, if you know something, spit it out Evan.
Evan:*he makes a book apear* *hands it to her* It's,The book of darkness...
*Takes the book, a strange smile pasted on her face, she runs her hand lovingly over it's cover and then looks at Evan* Thanks....*Sits on the grass and opens it*
Evan:*smiles*No problem...My father gave it to me...to get me on his side...He won't be very happy i gave it to you though...
*With out looking up fro the pageas*
All the better then....
*mumbles a curse word about evan under his breath*
*The smile on her face fades as she reads then she stops and then reads out loud, what it was she found...
...The soul atone, makde when some one makes a pact with the devil, can not be destroyed, it is a binding pact and shall never be destroyed, however, only the holder of the stone has and power over the soul stone.
Have not fear for there is a spell that can banish the stone. Look further to find it but beware, the spell is powerfull and if the devil is still in Possession of said stone, he will fight the spell caster to no end. Also, hte one who's soul stone is possessed, may not fight to banish it, only one who is trusted and loved, may preform the right of banishment..
*She continues reading silently again.
Well...I'll do it,kiara...
*Looks up from her book at MAx, her expresion grave* I don't know Max, I can't think, what if...*Takes a deep breath* Ok, thanks you. *She uncharacteristicly closes the book and shoves it back into Evans hands*
DOn't let anyone else, no matter how hard they try, get hold of this book... *She looks at the both of them*
The stone can still be retrieved, if some one wants it bad enough, anyone, but the one we banish it from. You never know.
*shakes his head warily*
*Looks at the two of then seriously.* Now, when I said I can't help to banish it, I really meant that. Evan, you'll have to protect Max when he's doing this. I can not interfere, my only part is to let Max cut my hand to get the needed blood....
*Gives a kinda sorry look at them both*
Blood?what?Why is there always blood in spells?
because amx, it's a binding thing and ones blood is the perfect way to bond one thing to another. Just, promise you wont cut too deep, although, I only hope I don't heal to quickly and have to be cut twice.
*Gives a half laugh* Oh, and don't enjoy it too much. *Winks*
Evan, I nee dto be able to know that you will not let any thing happen to Max. I nee dto trust you in this. Otherwise, I'll find another way.
Here's what we need:
A feather from an owl///Fire of the pheonix..and my blood...then, well need a cauldron, that ones easy...and one other thing...a golden box.
*Evan nods*Evan:okay,kiara.
*lays her hand on Evan's cheek for a moment then let's it fall back to herside* thanks Evan. *Turns to Max. It says there will be a point when the stone is actually in your hand, you have to put it in the box at that time. It will only stay for a mometn so you'll have to hurry.
Evan, that si when your father will most likely attack us the hardest, be prepeared.
*Takes a deep breath,* Ok, lets get the thign swe need.
well,You don't have to go far for one thing.
ya, I know The cauldron and the golden Bx, I know just where to get one of those... the Pheonix fore...I'm not so sure of or , you can do it huh?
yeah,of course...Besides,It'll save some trouble.
*Smiles half-gheartdly* Ok, I'll be back with the other things in a momn=ment. We have to do this out side...I'll explain once we get it all set up.
*With a slight snile she walkss to the school to retrieve the ther items*
*turns into a phoenix,and lands on her shoulder*
*lays an affectionate hand on his soft feathers then continues to the West Tower, hoping, she cab get in to retrieve a golden box.*
*looks around,keeping an eye out*
*Comes to the door, it is not open and will not easily open for her, but after much fighting, it finaly opens up an dthey walk inside/*
*points out one*
*walks over and picks it up, opening it to be sure it's empty when sastisfied she carries it out and goes to the common room and aquires a cauldron then heads back out side*
Evan:did you find the box?
*nods her head* oK, now, this is whay we do this out side.
Once you've put the stone in the pot Max, it is going to explode, be sure to jump away as soon as ithe stoen leaves your hand. Oh, and grab me while you are at it. I'll have to be next to it the whole time, but one you start chanting the spell, I'll kinda be out of t, you know.
okay,anything else?
Hum, no, I believe thats it. Hands him a slip of parchment* OH, i had it written as I read..* It contains the words he is to speak* Oh, and keep repeating them, you;ll have to actually take my hand to cut it, I'll be out of it by then. But other than that, lets get this going. *Sets the cauldron on the ground and the box next to it then kneels down next to the cauldron.*
I love you...
You know I love you...*sighs* *looks at the paper and starts chanting the spell*
*As soon as the words start, Kiar's eyes close, she remains knelt beside the cauldron but is asleep. Also, the air about them begins to turn up a few degrees as a slow warm wind begins to blow.*
*slashes her wrist,a bit unwillingly*
*As her blood spills into the cauldron, a black mist begins to sworl around inside and a shield developes around Max and Kiara, just as it starts, several zombie like creatures rise from the ground, the smell of their rotten flesh hanging in the ar about htem., they begin to bang on the blockade, making it rattle as MAx continues to speak.*
*looks at his hand* The stone...*looks at the blood red stone that appeared in his hand* *quickly shuts it in the golden box*
*When he shuts the box, the cauldron shudders, waiting for him to drop it in*
*drops it in,closing his eyes*
*As he drops it in, they hear a great scream of anger, the ground opens up and the cauldron explodes, throwing both Max and Kaira away from it, the Devil too late in his attack, closes the rip ion the earth and everything goes still, the zombie like creatures dissapearing*
*opens his eyes,checks kiaras wrist,and it is healing*kiara...
*opens her eyes only half way and winces.* Man, my head hurts
Thats to be expected...you want to go to the hospital wing?
*Starts to laugh then stops as it hurts to do so* No, nothign she can do for me there. *Sits up and looks at him.* you ok?
yeah,besides the fact that I'm still nervous..
ya? About what, you did it. Now, it's gone. Thanks. Are you sure you're ok?
i dunno..I feel,sorta drained,you know?
I know. It took a lot more than it seemed outta ya, huh?
*Kisses his cheek.* Really, thank you. It could have kille dyou if...I love you.
*shakes his head,not looking the least bit concerned*I love you to...SO,do you feel any diffrent?
No, not really. I mean, I feel better, knowing it's not in the hands of anyone but as far as feeling doffrent otherwise. No, just a bit relieved, rather, a lot relieved. The stone still exists, nto even I know where t went but, just knowing that no one else does eitther, is a great feeling.
*Closes her eyes and smiels*
yeah,but evans dad didn't sound to happy..*smiles*
*opens her eyes.* Where did Evan go any way. HE did a wonderfull job keeping his father at bay.
*Looks around, a little concerned.*
ya now...*looks around*he kinda disapeared after we went up to your fathers room...
*Raises a brow* Come to think about it, you're right, hmm..well, thanks Evan, whre ever you are.
*Goes to stand then sits right back down.* Perhaps standing just now isn't such a good idea. Laughs half-heartedly and winces*
That's ok, It's a nice day.
wanno go inside?I can carry you,if you want...
*Shakes her head* no, I think I'll just stay here for a bit. *Lays back and looks up at him from the ground now*
*tilts his head slightly,smiling at her*
*Smiels at him then looks away, up at he cloudless sky* I personaly can't think of a nocer day....
*gets on his knees and kisses her*
*Smiles an dkisses him back, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him down*
*smiles,and kisses her deeply*
*Retrns, happily, kissing him with more paison than ever before then stops and smiles at him*
what?*grins at her*
*holds his eyes, looking in them with ehrs and just continues to smile. Kisses him again.* you really have no idea what you have just done for me, do you...*kisses him again*
Yeah,of course I do.But do you know what you;ve done for me?
What's that?
You've given me a reason to live...-*kisses her*
*Retunrs his kiss and kisses back pasionately, not caring who sees tham, she'd take a world of detentions for being caught "making out' in the middle of the school yard just now. amx had just freed her f all control from the out side and right now, nothing seemed to matter other than being as close to him as hse could possably be*
*Kisses her deeply*
*After some time, Kaira starts laughing*
*raises a brow*what?
*Shakes her head then kisses him again* I just imagined what his face looked like, once the stone had gone. Sorry. *Kisses him again*
Me thinks,we should head inside ma' lady...*smiles*
Ya, you are probably right....*Grns* Kind sir, where ever thou shalt lead, I shall follow.
*smiles broader*Thou doest but flatter me.why wouldst thou want to be with me?*smiles,and picks her up,since she mentioned that her leg hurt*
*slides her arms around his neck, not objecting at all to his picking her up* I thinkest that thou hast cast a love spell upon me. however, I woulds follow you even have you not. *Grins and kisses his cheek as he carries her to the castle.*
And I thinketh thou ist a witch...*abruptly stops talking in shakspeareian*A beautiful one,at that...
*Laughs* Why thank you.
*just winks,as they reach the common room*
*Sitting on the couch now; She looks around and smiles* Things seem to be looking up now. Only one I need to take care of from here on, is you. *Giggles* And trust me, that won't be easy. *Winks at him*
*smiles*I'd love if you'd take of me...But,right now,I think I'll take care of you...*a bag ice appears in his hand*need it?
*Smiles at im* you bet. *Takes the bag from him an dputs it on her ankle.* Ok, but still, there is the matter of keeping you awa form malfoy and out of trouble there. i think that perhaps you shouldn't "play" with him anymore. *Giggles* remember last time. He turned you into a three year old.
oh,I don't know,you seemed to think i was cute until I regained my memory and starting plotting to get back at him...*winks*
*Laughs* Ya, You were an adorable child, you know. One of them kids that you just want to squeeze really hard because they are so cute. *Smmiles then sets her foot on his lap.* Gotta keep it elevated ya know.
*smiles*yeah,I know...
*Leans back on the arm of the couch an dlooks at him* I love you.
and I you...
*Smiles palyfully* I know...
*winks*so,do you want something to drink?
*Smiles* ya, actually, that sounds great. i am a bit thirsty.
what d'you want?
*Thinks* Perhaps a soda?
