*A chilled breeze swept through the undergrowth and high up into the canopy of the Forbidden Forest. The silhouette of a woman floated slowly up ahead, her pale skin glowing in the moonlight. As she stepped forth under a hole in the canopy above, she paused, looking up at the inky opaque sky.
It was midnight, exactly a year since she had left her body. Her eyes were no longer emerald, instead they were a ruby-red and her ankle length ivory hair glistened under the many stars.
Ella sighed lightly, a small, tired smile tugged at her lips and she allowed it to twist them into a mysterious smirk. The Forest Enchantress, the veela, had returned from a year of resting in peace. She was ready to visit her friends once again, and wondered how the school was coping under the constant wrath of the Lord.
Her mind wandered to whether Dumbledore would still be alive, to whether her friends would still be at the school, her sister, her love. Sebastian...she pondered over whether he had been loyal to her deceased self, or had moved on and was now happy with another woman. So many places for her mind to wander, such a little path to the end of the forest.
Ella thought about Kiara, Max, Sebastian, Isis, Lavender, Zack, and all the others she had entwined into her life, through the hard times, the happy times, the sad and the lonely. They had always been there for her, and now her spirit had returned, once again to lay eyes upon what she once called her home.
The corsét situated at her chest was laced up tight, as was the black and magenta dress that hung around her thin frame. She had a very different appearance now, and wasn't sure if any of the others would recognise her. Her knee-high lace-up black boots thumped gently on the forest floor as she walked down the path towards the castle, and the secretive tattoo of the tiny black rose rested atop her breast.
Oh, how she had missed everybody, how she had missed having her body, she missed breathing, feeling and laughing. Most of all she missed laughing. Gone were the days where her Lavender, Kiara and Isis would scream in hysterics after having pillow fights in the common rooms. Gone were the days when Bastian would whisk her away to some secluded place and show her how much he loved her.
Love...
'Twas a beautiful thing while it lasted. The veela with the somewhat demonic appearance looked up from her boots and out at the castle. She had reached the end of the forest path, but the path to her past had only just begun. The spirit of Ella Black Rose had returned, and she was ready for another lifetime here at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry...
She awaited her friends, for she knew they would feel the urge to enter the forest on this eerie night, she knew they would have recieved the silent message of the unknown she had passed through them...She waited...*
*Looks around the common room, her now blackend eyes seaching for wat had awakened her. The Devil;'s angel rose from her bed and streached her wings. She smiled as this was the second time she had beaten her inner self to awake. *
~~Sleep well Kiara~~
*The Angel arose and then stepped to the window, opened it, then jumped lightly out, not bothering to close it again. Her feet landed lightly on the lawn, the feel of the wet grass beneath her beer feet sent a feeling of pleasure through her. Oh how she loved the eath.*
~~Ok, where are you, caller~~
*She turned and the light from the moon reflected from her black eyes, turning them temperarily to silver, only to revert to their balckness, seconds later. She walked towards the forest*
*awaks, feeling a new mind wonder into the grounds*No, it can't be her...*whispers to self, then stands and without even a cloak runs outside*
*senses a great power approaching and stirs from sleep*
~Where are you?~
*she rises from where she had slept, near the lake, and soundlessly sweeps into the forest, dissapearing within its depths, searching for.....for the source of the strange feeling*
*jumps out the window and soft ly lands on the ground* HEads toward the are where he feels the new force*
*The angel turned her head to se otherscoming now, she feels the presence in the forest, and knows rihgt away who it is, a smile sreads accross her lips, once again showing her glistening fangs as she waits for the others to catch up*
~how'd you get out?~
~~what ever do you mean, Brian? I got out of there, oh, I awaoke faster than Kaira, that's how.~~
~does that happen often?~
~Not as often as i woul dlike, no. Why so many questions, young mortal?~
No more I hope*steps into wiew. Glares at the angel* Hello Kalista
*Nods in welcome to Ginny*
Welcome to the fray, young Weasley
*nods back, but dosn't say anything to Kalista. Turns around and surrvays the area* Any idea what happened?
~something powerful entered the gorunds.~
Wow you think? (are you bir, or Harry?)
(brian)
~wanna search the forrest?~
You mean to tell me you haven't senced who it is yet? Let me give you a hint...She used to be like a sister to kiara...
*frowns* It can't be though....Why would Ella come back? How?
It's her, trust me, for once, Weasley.
she stayed...but why?
Who knows....
I suppose it has something to do with the forest she loves so much and, perhaps her friends....
*Leaves it hanging in hthe air, KLalista knows, she was partialy responsible for killing her in hte first place, but what other choice did she have...*
Well where is she ms. All knowing?
Shut up Bri!
Kalista turns and glares at Brian, sending a most unwanted chill down his back and the air about them goes colder than dead winter.*
She's in htere, find her.. *Says between clenched teeth then spreads her wings, knocking Brian aside with one of them and flys off*
*hits him hard in the arm* Idiot!
It's not my fault she thinks she's something special!
*hits him harder* Just shut up, I'll get some traspotation*whistles, and two unicorns apper* They'll take us to her
*Hovers above the tree line*
~I don't think i'm something special you mindless idiot~ If you opened that pethetic mind of yours every so often, as you claim you can, you'd know it is Ella too. Furthermore, ...~~
*Cuts it off, not wanting to dresge up the memory of what she had to do to Kiara's closest friend*
~Just shut up okay?~
*ignors Kalista and whisteles and the bushs beside the trail bristl and the unoicorns wait to leave* Get on, dork(I gotta go!)
~Fine~ The sky begins to darken as clouds roll in, Kalista looks down upn the students and grins, deciding to be the evil little Angel she can be and it begins to pour down rian, harder than anything else, intantly soaking them. She winks then rises further into the air and plays amongst the clouds, eventually, Lightning starts to strike the ground, all around them*
(ohkay bye) *get's on unicorn and follows her into the forrest*
~Sends a thought to Brian~
~What are you doing? I'm not stupid, I can see you from the castle window~
~Hey, I know I look really gay riding a unicorn, but Ella's spirit is somewhere in the forrest, so we're trying to find her.~
~I'm coming harry~
:: Teleports herself but ends up on the same unicorn as harry::
Sorry! I didn't mean for this to happen
That's alright, but the unicorn doesn't seem to happy, I think I'll get another ride...*whistles a very high tone* any second now, *A black thestral rides out of the trees and Brian jumps onto it's back from the unicorn* There we go. C;mon!
If you realise it, I can't see them..*Jumps anyway*
Alright, let's catch up with Ginny!
*talking to thestral* ~follow the unicorn trail as fast as you can, NOW!!~ *The thestral speeds up to a remarkable pace*
*turns and smiles at the threstal reaches her and the unicorn* I see you caught up. Finally
*Feels it speeding up and grabs him for support*
*Sits on a cloud, watching the ppl below and crosses her arms waitng to see if Ella will EVER show herself*
~The unicorn was lazy.~
OCC: Bri, are you Harry or Brian in rp's now?
*smiles*
Hey Gin
(both deppending on wheather or not the Potter 130 person is in the RP or not I guess. I dunno.)
(Oh I see)
(uhh, so where is ella anyways?)
*Shrugs*
{ooc}: I'm here. Hum...Forgive me for I don't remember...'Brian'? :-\
{bic}: *Ella's deep eyes lifted from their perspective on the Forests earth to the grown images of her friends. The gentle gallop of hooves could be heard, approaching with determination, along with the evoked beginning of a storm. The veela gazed up towards the sky, raising her hand and catching a bolt of lightning as it threatened to strike her.
She twirled it as a staff, before re-forming it as an orb and holding it still as a light for her friends to find. She smiled a small smile, something she hadn't done in a while. They really were coming back, she was really going to see her friends again. The rain poured down over her from above, echoing on the walls of her mind.
As she gazed ahead she not only heard, but saw the unicorns and thestral heading her way. Her lips broke into a grin and it took every ounce of ladylike attitude in her to stop her from charging her friends into a rugby tackle of a hug. She missed them so much. Her heart had yearned for them beyond what any words could describe and yet here they were, being reunited again in the Forest she loved so dear.
Ella sighed, not in a distasteful manner, but in a relieved way. She looked up to the heavens once more, silently thanking them, but paused as she saw a sillhouette seated on a cloud, not to far away. She narrowed her eyes, ignoring the raindrops that pelted her vision, and gasped with delight. It was Kalista, the angelic form of Kiara. Black wings and a powerful appearance greeted her grin, there was no doubt about it.*
She was home.
*Rinding on a ball of flame, Sebastian flew towards the light in the forest, his flaming mount, not daring to burn one speck of the forest folige. He wears a sollom grin, although he is happy, it is not seen on his face.
It has been entirely too long since he had last seen his love, entirely too long since she left him alone in a world of humans and as he aproached, his pace lessend, untill finally, he stopped alltogether, his ball of fire dissapating to cover him now and ward off the water from the clouds over head.
Sebastian wasn't sure rather the others would truely wish him to be there, he wasn't sure how he would be greeted after what he tried to do to Kiara and Max. so, instead, he stood not 200 yards from his beloved Ella, wrapped in a comfortable blanket of flames and watch with baited antisapation for the reunion.*
*Kalista looks down from her cloud and nods in greeting to the Veela then smiles and the rain suddenly stops it's fall from the sky and the clouds open up to emit a ray of sun light directly over Ella, to further mark her position*
*The clouds part and a golden ray of sunlight streams down over her figure, warming her immediately. Ella sees Sebastian and smirks. 'Well are you just gonna stand there, or come and give me a hug?' Her voice echos in his mind playfully, while she begins walking towards him slowly, the ruby-red in her eyes sparkling.*
*Casting away his flame rain caot, Sebastian walks towards her, his expresion is still, quite unreadable but his eyes, alight with the flames of his home tell tales of longing and a happyness unknownst to any before him.*
*Ella throws off thr powerful act and grins happily, showing her all to familiar cheeky attitude. She stops about a meter away from Bastian and pouts sheepishly.*
"I missed you so much..."
*Her eyes flash a steely silver colour and she spots the dancing flames in his eyes. With another small grin she leaps into his arms, twirling, his body against hers in the deepest denial of seperation. She didn't want to let him go ever again.*
