The truth unveiled

[Ginny Weasly]

Cody smiled, "Bell'Amore..." He repeated, committing the name and the poem to his memory instantly. He nodded at her, "An appropriate name for it, wouldn't you agree?"

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie smiled. "Yes, actually I would." She said repeating a few of the lines in English. "Itself a mirror in the sea, and it brightens ths sky." She repeated, lilting the words a bit, but only giving them a loose translation.

[Ginny Weasly]

Cody listened to her recite in English, nodding his head slowly. The poem was interesting, but his mind had drifted from it. He thought of his mother waiting on the edge of the forest, where he had left her and felt guilty.

Nevertheless, he attempted to try and pay attention to Jackie.

Jackie looked at him and raised her eyebrows. "Other things on your mind?" She guessed, assuming the source. "We should hurry back."

[Ginny Weasly]

"Yes." The small boy answered both her question and her statement with the single word. He remained silent as they reached the edge of the forest, a blank look appearing on his face. He made himself expressionless as they came through the last row of trees and burst onto the school lawn.

Not far off, they saw a figure standing, back to them. Ginny's red hair gleamed in the moonlight, and she seemed to be looking at the school itself. She could hear them as they approached, but did not turn to see them.
She knew who it was.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie walked next to Cody, almost as silent as he was, though she wasn't able to make her face blank. Her father always called her his open book because her face showed her expressions so easily. She wasn't a reserved kind of person at all.

As she approached Ginny, she was aware she was human and the temptation of who she was grew stronger than before. She deeply regretted not hunting now.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny turned as they came closer, tilting her head to the side. She recognized the look in Jackie's eyes but did nothing about it. She did not fear vampires. They were of little concern to her, even with their advanced speed. She was still capable of being faster when she wanted to be.

She nodded, "Thank you, Jackie. For returning my son to me."

Cody frowned, "I came back of my own accord, mom."

Ginny simply looked at him for a beat before looking again to Jackie, "Nonetheless, I thank you."

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

"No need." Jackie said, smiling corteously. "I should be thanking your son. He helped me to get my head straight, involving a few... things." She said somewhat softly, gratitude clear in her voice.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny cut a look at Cody, nodding very slightly. She reached down and ruffled his hair, causing him to scowl.
"He's smart." She said blatantly, "Too smart for his own good."

Cody narrowed his eyes at her, stuffing his hands into his pockets angrily. But he gave no retort, simply glared off into the distance.

"Jackie, would you like to join us? We were going up to the astronomy tower when Cody stormed off in his little tiff." Ginny smiled thinly. She was annoyed, but not at Jackie.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie smiled and nodded, "I'd love to come with thank you." She said, looking down at Cody. A normal five year old would look ridiculous with that expression of anger on his or her face, but she knew Cody was no normal five year old. So she made no comment whatsoever.

[Ginny Weasly]

Cody rolled his shoulders, trying to work out the kinks that were associated with keeping his wings hidden. But he rarely showed them, knowing that he scared people. He knew full well out demonic he could look. He clenched his fists inside of his pockets and began walking towards the school.

Ginny let out a soft sigh after him, shaking her head. "Let's go." She said lowly to Jackie.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

Jackie nodded and began to walk after COdy and alongside Ginny. She tried to think of something to say, but for a first nothing came to mind. So she just said "Ok." and quietly followed.

She softly sighed as the breeze hit her face. And looked up at the stars, having no fear of tripping or misplacing her feet. She loved stars, but never could find pictures in them as so many people say are wonderful.

[Ginny Weasly]

They went into the school, passing through the now dark hallways and going to the topmost tower, the astronomy tower. Once there, Cody went off to use the microscopes pointed into the sky. Ginny simply stood there, looking up at the never ending night sky.

"I love to come up here on nights like this." She murmured softly.

*Ginny?  Is that you?* Leah said stepping out of the shadows.  Her eyes danced when she realized who it was.  *Oh I'm so glad it's you! I was afraid a teacher had heard me.*  Leah said, though she knew that was really not possible.  If she didn't want to be found, she wouldn't be.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]

"Yeah, it sure is." Jackie murmered in agreement. She stared at the open sky smiling at the stars, but jumped Leah stepped into the room. "Leah!" She gasped, in somewhat shock. "Oh, you sacred me a bit." She said.
