Nate took off his thick black shirt from his sticky skin and stared up into the sun. The sun was bright as ever and the rays were killing his back. He blew at his dark hair, getting it out of his face and braced himself to jump off the dry bridge and into the cool blue water. As he dived in, making a perfect dive he made a big splash, spraying up into his face as he came back to the surface of the water.
Stacey was just walking around and saw someone dive into the Lake. ((I`m assuming you`re in the Lake because that`s the only body of water at Hogwarts))She walked over and sat down at the edge of the water, waiting for the person to surface.
As nate came to the surface he felt as if someone was watching him. with his black hair no plastered to his face he turned around to see a girl looking at him. He swam closer to get a better view until his feet were barely touching the ground. He put on a bright smile and said,"Hey," to the girl he couldnt figure out was.
"Hi." Stacey replied. "I haven`t seen you around here very often. Are you new?" She asked. Her eyes where a bright blue that reflected the sunlight.
He smiled shyly,"Nah, i just kinda keep to myself alot of the time." "Im nate and you are?"
"Stacey." She answered sweetly. "What year are you?"
(is it bad that i dont remember how long ive been here?)
He smiled at her. His face blushing, Well hell stop acting like a freak, he thought to himself. He looked into her eyes,"Um.. about my third. What about you?"
((lol, yea. especially since i know i`ve been here for a shorter time than you, and i have 3x as many posts as you.))
Stacey smiled. "Third. I`m thirteen. I can use your powers. And many other guys are chasing me the same way you are." She answered, reveling what she knew.
(ha yeah... my internet stoped working for 3 months and then once i got it back, i kinda stopped goin on here.)
Nate shook his head trying to stop getting distracted by stacy. He only heard part of what she had said so he just smiled a bit and said,"Thats cool. Im just a wizard and..." he paused wondering if he would scare her if she knew he was an vampire, he decided not to say the next part.
Stacey looked at Nate curiuosly. "And...?" She asked. Whatever he said couldn`t be that bad.
He shuffled his position and looked into Staceys eyes seriously," Im..uh a vampire. I mean you probably have friends that are vamps but i just..tricky subject is all." He said the ending in more like a mumble.
"I guess I don`t see why. Why it`s a tricky subject I mean." Stacey said. "Yea, I have quite a few vamp friends." She added. "Isn`t the water cold?"
He smiled," Nope, well...kinda..just depends."
"Depends on what?" She asked, swirling her hand in the cool water.
"It depends on you really. I mean ifthe water is cold..and all," he said feeling a little confused.
Stacey laughed. "You the one getting yourself confused." She smiled.
He smiled,"Yeah i realized that. You wanna come in or are you just gonna stay on the sidelines," he asked.
"Nah, I`m fine here. Not much a swimmer." Stacey said smiling. She hld out her wet palm and shot a stream of fire into the water. It came up to the surface and made designs in the water. "I like fire much better. It won`t hurt you, my fire doesn`t burn skin unless I make it." She said, staring into the dancing flames.
Nate was fascinated by the fire, he looked at it wishing he could do that. "Now thats a cool power."
Stacey flicked her wrist and the flames disappear. "You really haven`t seen major power have you?" She asked. "There are people that can do anything and everything with fire." She blew on her left index finger and a firey butterfly flewo out of her fingertips.
He smiled crooked, feeling a little stupid. Of course hes seen powers that were powerful but he just wished he had them. "Ehh somes but yeah i like your power better," he said whiling swimming a backstroke.
Stacey flicked her index finger and the butterfly disappered. "So what can you do, beside being a vampire?" She asked.
"Ehh nothing as powerful like that. I can just do the easy simple stuff that you usually use with a wand. I guess you could say im still looking for my power that will define me but til then im just sticking with the ones i know."
Stacey tilted her head. "Then what do you do all the time?"
Nate put on a grin,"Well i study and read...lotz. But then again i go to school and do all the vampier stuff tooo."
Stacey let out a giggle. "I`m sorry, I don`t know why I find that amusing."
Nate grinned. He put his hand out and swept up some of the water and splashed her with some sparkling white water. "Your just jealous," he said jokingly.
Stacey raised an eyebrow and grabbed his wrist. Her eyes and nails grew black. "You`ve forgotten, I can use your powers at free will." She said in a serious voice, although she was laughing histerically inside.
Nate put on a seroius face,"Oh really." He pulled her closer by gripping her hand and pulling it in.
Stacey`s face was less than six inches away from Nate`s. Her teeth grew longer. "Yes." She whispered.
Nate slid his hand onto her face and looked into her eyes and pulled her even closer, his body touching hers. His breathing less and less as he looked at her.
Her teeth shrunk to normal size and her eyes shot an unnatural blue. She raised her hand to his shoulder, looking up at his eyes.
HE said with a shaky voice," You have no idea how much i want you right now." He hissed.
Stacey couldn`t control the overwellming power of being so close to a vampire. The teeth grew again. She closed her eyes and moved her lips millimeters from his ear. "You don`t know what I`m going through just to be standing here." She whispered.
((Uhm, I know you`re new, so I won`t hold it against you or anything, but if two people are kind of having a moment, ask before joining. I`m just going to ignore your post, ok? But just so you know in the future. p.s. I`m not mad at you or anything.))
Nate pressed her body to his. His breathing heavy as he brushed her hair behind her ears,"I know, but i promise i wont hurt you. I love you too much," he whispered back.
Stacey closed her eyes and ran her hand along along his shoulder. "I know you would never hurt me."
He looked at her, his eyes lighter than usual. He wanted to kiss her but there was something in his gut telling him he shouldnt. He sighed quietly,"Are you hiding something," he whispered.
Stacey sighed and opened her eyes. "Yes." She whispered, not able to meet his gaze.
Nate sighed lightly,"You know your going to have to tell me sometime," he said softly, still in the same spot.
Stacey pressed her lips together and gently touched his cheek.
He closed his eyes, letting her kiss him on the cheek. He slid them open slowly and stared at her sadly," Why do you have to be so nice, cute, and perfect," he asked , his voice soft.
Stacey smiled sadly. "Beacause no matter what happens, I still love you."
Nate smiled back sadly,"I knew that..i guess i just needed to hear that from you." His stared into her eyes and just felt even worse. He looked away fastly and looked down, hoping his dark hair would block his eyes.
Stacey stared at Nate with intense blue eyes. "No matter what."
Nate looked at her intently and said below a whisper,"No matter what."
Stacey nodded. "Forever."
Nate added,"Not even until we die."
Stacey gently slipped her hand in Nate`s. "Exactly." She whispered. She squeezed his hand lightly and pulled away.
After she took her hand away from his, he could still feel the warm spot of her skin still on him. He shuffled around making sure she couldnt see his sadness," Well now that we've got over this..do you want to go or..." he stuttered.
Stacey shook her head. She didn`t know what she wanted. She felt so confused right now, she couldn`t get anything straight.
Nate sighed sadly,"You know i will always love you." He put on a sad smile.
Stacey looked up and had to fight the impulse to reach out and put her hand on Nate`s arm. "I know. I hope you know the same goes for me."
He turned his head to the side looking into the used to be well lit sky to the now dark sky,"I think i should leave."
