Curtis crept quietly towards the forest one evening. He glanced up at the moon, thnakful that it was only half full. He slowly went deeper into the woods, ebcause he wanted to find a good spot to stay when the moon became full.
Sarah was laying in her favorite spot right at the edge of it drawling. SHe loved the moon this was a perfect night to drawl.
Curtis almost stepped on Sarah and instead side stepped, tripping and landing on the ground beside her.
"ow!" He said, rubbing his side where he had landed, "Sarah, what are you doing out here? Isn't it dangerous?"
"oh hi." Sarah said smiling.
"Ya but I mean who wants to mess with me. I mean I can fight and have elemental powers." Sarah said laughing and putting her pad down.
'
"I come out here a lot."
"It's not very safe. This forest has a reputation throughout the world as one of the most dangerous." Curtis said, remembering a study he had read in a magizine years ago. However, he smiled at her, although it was rather stressful.
"oh so is little Curtis scared." Sarah then laughted she was joking with him.
"I'll protect you till I find something to drawl then you are out of luck."
"Scared? Maybe, a bit. But not for myself." he said, smiling. "I have no reason to be scared. I don't fear death, death fears me!" he laughed at his false front. No, he wasn't scared, but he was careful.
"oh okay." Sarah said as she set up.
"SO what brings you out here to night any ways." Sarah smiled she really like Curtis as more then a friend but she was not going to tell someone.
Curtis frowned. He should have known she'd ask sooner or later.
"Nothing," he lied, "what about you?"
"well because I hate being in the castle. That and I would rather not listen to the teachers." Sarah siad as she stood up.
"I don't trust you should I." sarah then got in a tree and smiled. She was just playing with him.
"No." He told her. Without another word, he reached up, grabbing a branch just above his head and swinging up into the tree beside her. He smiled, his teeth glimmering in the low moonlight. His teeth that got sharper and sharper with the coming full moon.
Cho was walking and saw what seemed to look like Sarah. She went down to where Sara was. "Hey Sarah."
"hi." Sarah then turned to Curtis and saw his teeth.
"Curtis what is going on don't lie to me. I know something is up. I mean your teeth are changing." Sarah then put her hand on his.
"I want to help you."
Cho took a step back and said,"Whoa Curtis...Curtis you're...you're a werewolf...."
Curtis rolled his eyes and turned to Cho, for once losing his temper, "Can't you ever keep your mouth shut?" He asked.
((LOL....sorry I don't even know why I'm in this rp...))
Cho said,"Sorry...Sarah was worried and so I thought it would be easier if I told her...."
(i'm not really mad at you. dont worry about it)
"You thought it'd be easier to tell her that I turn into an animal and rip things apart?" He frowned at Cho, her logic confusing him beyond belief.
"Hey there. Ya know that I'm here." Sarah siad as she looked at them.
"Curtis I still like you. I mean I'm just upset. I told you about my powers and your keeping things to me. I'll leave though." SArah siad as she got out of the tree she was sort of upset.
"Wait, Sarah, you don't have to leave." Curtis said, jumping out of the tree and landing beside her.
"I mean, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But I have a good reason, ok?"
"Fine." Sarah looked at him.
"You did not have a good reason. I mean come on. Maybe I could help you if you would have told me." Sarah then grabbed his hand she liked him.
"I mean Cho knew before me."
"I do have a good reason. If I had told you when I first met you, how long would it have taken for you to trust me? You can't say you wouldn't have thought something was up. Werewolves have a bad rep, and for a good reason." He kept a hold of her hands, firmly, yet at the same time, softly.
He smiled at her, looking her in the eyes, "And I didn't tell Cho."
Sarah had tears going down her face.
"Curtis I know but come on. I mean I know other werewolfs." Sarah then hugged Curtis.
"I mean my teacher was one."
"That's diffrent. With me, you could be in danger. I don't want you or anybody else in danger. Especially of me." He told her, hugging her back.
"Curtis I really like you. I mean really. I think I'm falling in love with you." Sarah then turned to not face him and just sit there.
"now I don't know how to feel I was not wanting to be mean but how can I trust you."
"You shouldn't fall in love with me. I'm not an easy person to love." Curtis said.
"fine i won't but it will be hard to get my heart back." Sarah siad as she grabbed his arms and looked him in the eye.
"Sarah, I'm seriouse. It wouldn't be good for you..." He avoided her eyes. He couldn't bare to look at her right now. She was very pretty, and he liked her alot.
"Fine I won't but leave me alone and never mess with me." Sarah siad as she got up and walked farther into the forest.
Curtis sighed and scratched his neck. He still wanted to be friends with her, if nothing else. He shot a look at Cho, "Thanks." He said, sighing.
"no I mean leave me alone forever. Atleast till I can get my heart back. I broke up with Siruis because of you." Sarah siad as she turned to face him. Tears covering her face.
Curtis jumped.
"Sarah, I didn't want you to break up with Sirius. You were happy with him..."
"Fine what ever." Sarah siad as she looked at him.
"He don't like me so I am alone. I don't want you messing with me." Sarah siad she stood there staring at him.
"Messing with you?" He raised his eyebrows, "How was I messing with you? Sarah, I told you how I am."
"Ya and you told me that I could not love you because of what you are. You did not give me a chance to show you how I feel." Sarah said as stared at him looking in his eyes.
"Not because I'm a werewolf. No, I don't think you should love me because of the way I am. I'm not used to liking just one girl. It's confusing and hard. I'm too used to hitting on alot of girls. I don't know if I can stick to one girl, even if I do like her more than anyone else." He took a step towards her.
"Fine. I will." SArah then looked at him before she turned to walk away.
"I will leave but don't try to get me to talk to you right now. I need my heart back frist." Sarah then went to the lake and layed there crying.
Cho shook her head in disbelief and said softly befroe going to console Sarah,"Sorry Curtis...I didn't know, honestly, it escaped my mouth.....I think you should stay here......until Sarah stops crying a bit."
"No, you think?" He asked her sarcasticly.
Sarah said there as she used her powers to move the waves on the lake and letting the trees move with the air.
"Why did I fall for him."
(we going to hook up in this one)
a horned owl soars through the air and lands on Cho's shoulder, by now she would easily and quite quickly recognize the markings on the owl, it was Devon.
Cho smiled and softly stroked his feathers.
Curtis went and leaned against the nearest tree. He put his hands in his pocket and starred at the ground.
He hated feelings. Alot.
Sarah looked over at him. Then she formed a protective bubble around him. "Now you can be a werewolf and be scared of hurting me."
"I won't be a werewolf for a few more weeks. The moon is only half full."
He said without looking up. He couldn't bare to. He hadn't meant to hurt Sarah in any way, and never wanted to. As much as he hated to admit it, he was falling in love with her just as she was falling in love with him.
"Oh okay." She lowered the shield.
"I will put it back up in a few more weeks." SArah said laughing she had falling in love again.
He still didn't look at her. He cleared his throat and pushed away from the tree. He faced her, but didn't look at her face.
"Sarah, I'm so sorry." He shook his head, then started walking up the path, towards the school.
Sarah ran up to him.
"Curtis what are you sorry for." SArah then thought about something.
"I will not leave you alone till you tell me and look me in the eyes when you say it."
"Go back to Cho, Sarah." he said, not even turning around.
"NO. She don't need me. You do." SArah then grabbed his arm and she was not letting go.
"You are the one that needs the friend."
Curtis stopped, but only because he didn't want to end up dragging her. He turned very slowly, looking up at her. He looked into her eyes and closed the gap between them with one step. He leaned it and kissed her on the lips, then stepped back.
"Go back to your friend. I don't need freinds." It was hard, but he kept his eyes on hers. His throat closed up, he felt dizzy. But he knew he had to be mean. he had to let her get on with her life.
He wasn't worth her love.
"Curtis. No I'm not going back to them. I had my heart broke once. You like me you know it. You would not have kissed me then." SArah let go of his arms.
"I'm going to let you leave but I'm not going to go back. I want to be with you. I don't care about them." SArah then kissed him back before she headed towards the quidich pitch. Sarah knew that if Curtis did care he would follow her.
(Iv been practicing my RPing skills, haha)
Curtis stood there for a long time, watching her walk away. He was fighting with himself, to be truthful. He wanted to follow her. He really wanted to follow her.
But he knew if he did, she'd never be able to get over him. He had to find a way to make her think he didn't like her. He didn't want her to be draged down with him when the time came.
So he stood there. Thinking those thoughts. Over and over in the few seconds. He couldn't choose one or the other.
*Cho I'm fine. I don't want you to come find me when I feel like it I will find you.* Was all Sarah sent to her friend.
"I'm not calling for her. I think I might leave hogwarts. I mean I have that job and they will let me keep it." SArah said as she curled up into a ball crying. She knew that Curtis liked her but he was to afraid. Sarah then spent some time crying but she was using her elemental to make it rain around her.
Sarah loved the rain it seemed to soothe her and that was all she wanted. If she was calm maybe she could forget about him. Maybe was the really about a 5% chance.
(I see I'm proud of you)
Curtis kicked the dirt with his shoe and looked up into the sky. He sighed.
"Mom...I don't know what to do anymore. Please help me." Curtis sincerely believed in angels, and believed that his mother was one. He also thought his mom could hear him.
"I hate this feeling, Mom. I think I love her. But you know I can't tell her that. You of all people know what happens when someone in our family loves someone else." he sounded so confused and hurt. And sad. He was very sad.
Sarah feeling bad for herself decided to use the one spell she had gotten great uat. She summoned her self a butterbeer.
"Well I can have on. No one cares. That and no one will find out." Sarah then got up and heaed down to the broom closet.
"Now lets see how did you get this opened." SArah said to herself once she got it opened she grabbed herself a broom and hurled herself onto it and up in the sky.
Curtis caught a glimpse of Sarah, but didn't know it was her. He had gotton a lot better at riding a broom, and thought about going for a ride. Instead, he turned towards the school and went inside. Immediately, he went up to the tallest tower he could think of and came out on the roof. He sat down on the edge, his legs over it.
"I wonder what would happen if I jumped..." He said, softly, then smiled weakly, "I'd make a nice big splat, I guess."
(lets put some shock in it.)
Sarah was up pretty high. She was starting to feel wozy from just the one butterbeer.
"He don't care about me." SArah said to herself. Before she relized it she was slipping off her broom.
Sarah was now holding on with one hand. She tried to hold on longer but could not and was sent falling from about 20 feet up.
Curtis saw her falling. And had no clue how to stop it. He couldn't apperate, and he had no special powers. he also had no clue that it was Sarah. So he did the only thing he could think of. He pulled out his wand, made a quick prayer to whoever was listening and jumped.
Curtis had jumped from high places before. he had amazing agility, and almost always landed on his feet. But this was a very large tower, and he had never tested his ability.
Luckily for him, he landed and rolled, causing little damage. Then he ran. very fast. Along with agility came speed. he had strong legs from running around as a werewolf. he was almost below her, just a few more feet.
Sarah landed in his arms but was unconious because of how far it was. She was sweaty because of the fact that hse had fought so hard to hand on.
The broom had fallen down next to the stands where the bottle of butterbeer was.
He went to his knees with the impact of her. But he held on. He blew his hair out of his eyes, and simply starred at her.
Sarah slowly started to stir.
"Were am I'm." Sarah did not open her eyes she hurt to much.
"What happen." Sarah then opened her eyes and saw curtis and was smiling.
"Are you okay?" He asked, gently.
"Ya I think so. What happened." Sarah siad sitting up.
Cho didn't hear the message and enjoyed the soft gentle breeze. "Devon...why do you always think they leave us alone most of the time."
flutters off her shoulder and changes into his human form. "I think they mean to try to set us up together."
Cho softly laughed and shrugged.
laughs..."not that i mind"
Cho blushed slightly and laughed nervously.
"How should I know? I'm no psychic. All I saw was you falling..." He paused, placing her gently on the ground.
"I'm glad your okay, Sarah."
"thanks." Sarah then looked away from him she remebers the fight before and drinking the butterbeer. She did not want to look at him.
"Thanks for making sure I was ok."
((ooh....when are you guys going to hook up?))
((When it happens. Jeeze, why hurry something like that?))
"Yeah. No problem..." he was quiet for a moment then nodded.
"Well, take care of youself..." He said slowly.
"okay." Sarah then got up. "thanks"
Sarah then turned to walk away but then turned back and kissed Curtis.
"Sorry." Sarah siad.
"Yeah...me too..." He swalloed and walked slowly back to the school, going to his dorm and laying on his bed.
Sarah decided that she did not want to fly any more but she did not want to go to her room so she conjured a blanket and layed there on the ground.
((why on the ground.....))
"So what do you want to do now.....because I'm bored...."
