*tiredly steps into the great hall, though exhilerated to be back ``home``**sits at the Slytherin table*

[Kiara Johnson]

*Looks over at Zack*  Hey.  *smiles*

[Sabastian]

*Sits silently at the end of the table, watching as Kiara talks with her friends, he too wounders what will happen to the lot of them this year, after his deception to Voldem0rt, he hopes he can stay with the living as he chooses, ~Thinks, that would be too good.~ Narrows his eyes at Kiara with the same hatred that has always been there, but is now, somehow, more subdude.*

[Kiara Johnson]

Dumbledore stands and announces the feast over, they all head back to their dorms, listening to the storm out side.  It's the bigest storm in over 100 years and things are going wild out there.  Moves closer to Max as they walk along, past the, what Kaira calls, the evil West tower.  She shivers a bit as an icy chill sweeps down from the staircase and over her*

[Zack]

*doesn`t know why, but stops, halfway up the stairs with his friends**goes back down to the doors and stares at them, strongly drawn to something outside**pulls cloak tightly about him and opens the doors quickly, shutting them behind him**is immediately tossled back into the wall, but gainsm footing agian**slowly makes way across grounds to the lake, where the waters waves raise and fall, swirling to a deathly black**takes off cloak so is in robes only and stares for a moment at the water, then dives in, heading straight towards the bottom, searching for something*

[Zack]

*keeps searching the bottom, preying he finds what he was looking for, then has to go up for a breath**his head breaks the surface and gets a small gasp of air before being swamped by water on the head**looks around at the quickly darkening water and looks around frantically, then sees a gold chain twenty feet below**looks up and sees swirling, but takes a chance, swims as fast as can to the spot and pulls on the chain, finally pulling it out, seeing a small (fingertip size) gold claw holding a red stone as a pendant**ties it hurredly around his neck and starts for the surface, but is grabbed around the ankle, feeling whatever the thing was` claws sink into his skin**sees blood start up towards the surface, and knows thats not a good thing**fights desprately, but can`t escape**feels another claw peirce his skin on his upper arm and struggles gharder, but starts to loose conciouysness from the lack of air**instinctively opens mouth for air, but only gains water, filling lungs**feels the thing pull him farther under, and acan nolonger see anything, only blackness, before passing out completely*

[.:isis:.]

*is outside joging around. is breathing heavily as she has been out there for some time now. passes by the lake, although she stays a ways away from the edge*

[Zack]

*the thing runs its claw in a line up his arm deeply, and sees the blood rise thickly**it grins in satisfaction*

[.:isis:.]

*continues to jog, not aware of anything go on below the water's surface*

[Zack]

*the pendants red stone glows sudenly, and dissapears from the necklace, reappearing in front of Isis`s face, still glowing**it circles her head, then hand, then starts back toward the water, then makes a mirage of th ``thing``, a completely black creature with six inch claw and fangs, red eyes sticking out from its head, looking like death itself**the glowing stone moves back to her head, the mirage dissapearing, and starts to circle her head agian*

[.:isis:.]

*stops dead and gasps at the creature. before can do anything it is gone, and remains there, and looks at the pendant. reaches hand up and grabs it. holds it in hand and looks at it closely*
