Alone..

Sky · October 23, 2008, 07:45:19 AM

The common room was dark. It couldn't have been any later than 3 AM. Sky found herself sitting quietly in front of the fireplace, her knees pulled up to her chest. The fire warmed her skin as her red flannel pajama pants and black t-shirt weren't so warm. The fire reflected in her gray eyes, dancing. She couldn't sleep. She had tossed and turned from the moment she went to bed. She had only an hours worth of sleep. She could live off it.

She sighed deeply, but quietly, careful not to wake the sleeping students from their slumber. She put one of her arms on the ground and gently ran it across the smooth crimson red carpet of the room, it's texture rough on her fingers. She heard a sound...the creaking of the fat lady painting opening. Sky stayed silent, curious to see who was there.

Jackie was sneaking out into the common room, to hunt. She slipped downstairs silently and almost fell over backwards when she saw Sky. "Um.. Hi?" She said smiling slightly, then she was over by Sky in the next second. "You're awake?"

Aiden · October 23, 2008, 08:13:23 AM

(Mind if I join?)

Sky · October 23, 2008, 08:22:08 AM

((Go ahead ^^))

Sky · October 23, 2008, 08:24:55 AM

Sky simply nodded, still watching the fire. "Very." She mumbled.

Lola_La_Fringe7 · October 23, 2008, 08:27:36 AM

"Hm... may I inquire as to why that might be?" Jackie asked sitting on the ground and curling her knees to her chest. A very child like posture it was, but it was comfortable and comforting.

Aiden · October 23, 2008, 08:28:08 AM

(Sweet)

Aiden entered the common room just comming back from a walk outside since he couldn't sleep. He looked and saw Sky and Jackie hanging by the fire. "Uh...hey..." Aiden mumbled embarrased since he wasn't supposed to be out this late.

Sky · October 23, 2008, 08:32:44 AM

Sky shrugged. "Just couldn't." She said, mumbling again. She looked at Aiden. "Hi." Sky said. She finally let her legs down. "Ugh...I hate it when I can't sleep." She jumped up suddenly. "Let's go outside."

Aiden · October 23, 2008, 08:34:52 AM

Aiden nodded. "Sounds good to me" he said. He walked backwards right out the door he came from. "So why couldn't y'all sleep?" he asked them casually.

Sky · October 23, 2008, 08:39:12 AM

Sky followed him to the door. "I was just thinking about things. Plus...this is the best time of night. When everything is quiet. I love it." She said, still quiet.

Aiden · October 23, 2008, 08:41:47 AM

Aiden looked at her. "I agree. I prefer the quiet and that darkness of the night compared to the day." he agreed. They continued to walk around. "Where to?" Aiden asked.

Lola_La_Fringe7 · October 23, 2008, 08:46:28 AM

Jackie easliy kept pace (way to wait for me) them and when she went outside she realized the reason she had come out here, hunting, thirst. She looked at Sky, her eyes black. "I-I'll be back after a couple minutes." She stammered out before inhaling their blood, her throat burning.

Then she sprinted into the woods at top speed which would be just a shadow to human eyes.

Aiden · October 23, 2008, 08:52:01 AM

Aiden saw Jackie leave. She seemed extremely anxious and worried about something. He watched her run towards the woods with a curious expression on his face.

Sky · October 24, 2008, 03:24:09 AM

Sky shrugged. "Wherever you want, I just need some fresh air." She looked up at the clouds.
"I'm really sorry. I'm such a crank butt tonight..today...whatever." Then Jackie came along, her eyes black. As she ran off, Sky looked over at Aiden.
"I've seen that expression many times. I believe I know what she is after, but I don't know for certain." Sky said to Aiden as they walked.

Aiden · October 24, 2008, 04:04:09 AM

Aiden looked at her questionably. He kept his pace to match hers as they walked out of Hogwarts into the cold, dark air outside. "After? Whats your theory that...she is?" he asked,clearly confused. The moon was high in the sky, showing that it was clearly close to midnight.
