stands alone!

[Joel Shibby]

Joel had been in bed for sometime just watching the stars out the window, when he saw what looked like shooting star enter the Astronomy Tower, jumpping out of bed he made his way towards the Astronomy tower.

Fanilly making it he looked around nothing was to be seen in the darkness, grabbing his wand he spoke the words "Lumos" and a bright light shone from the end of his wand.

Noticing that there was nothing there, Joel just sat down by the window looking at the moon and stars wishing he had someone there to share it with.

[Dante Rose Black]

She was tired but she couldn't sleep, the blind girls hand ran softly along the walls of the stairs up to the Astronomy tower, she felt lost again now that her master had gone and she had been deserted by most of her friends for joining with him so she was alone again. She had not a person to tell her joys or her sorrows no one was there to care anymore.

Dante opened the door and an aura hit her a male alone, so strange she usaly found other girls on the tower but this was a guy how strange.

"Um hello..." Her voice was quiet and small from a long period of not really talking. "Am I dusturbing you?" She asked the boy, she began slowly to recognize him as Joel, she had only talked with him briefly.

[Joel Shibby]

Joel had been thinking about his sick mother and how his life was some how getting better while hers could end at anytime. Joel thought by coming back to the place he loved to call home it would change everything and it had the people he cared most of all where either leaving or gone already he now found himself Standing alone.

It was not long after Joel began to think that someone enter a girl whos voice Joel remembered turning around with half a smile placed on his face "No Dante you are not dusturbing me at all, please come and join me I could do with alittle company" Joel said looking into her eyes.

"May I ask what brought you here?" Joel asked wondering

[Dante Rose Black]

"Thanks I needed someone you know, I haven't been able to talk to anyone really since the Master left all my friends have left, but I had reasons you know, for doing what I did." She said walking in to the window wishing she could see the stars she used to love so much. Joel was a nice young man and a wonderful friend, one of the few who still stood beside her.

"How are you doing." She asked her silver hair abscuring her face. A cold silent night a perfect night to start life over.

[Joel Shibby]

Joel lost colour "You didn't need a master and I must say he is no master if he believes in the wrong things" Joel said looking at Dante "I am always here for you if you ever need or want my help or just someone to talk"


Joel looked up at the stars as Dante asked how was he going "I am alright no sorry I just told a lie" Joel said he sometimes had trouble opening up to people "I am not okay, I am worried about my mum, I know it sounds funny but she is sick and I want to be there for her but she doesn't want me to, she can't stand me watching her as she maybe dieing" Joel said trying to be a guy and not let the tears fall

[Dante Rose Black]

"Oh thats horrible, my mum died when I was born and my father left before I was born,why is she sick." Dante like Joel he was kind and alot like her. She took his hand to lead him to sit on the window sill with her.
"You can tell me anything as well you know I'm here." She didn't really know what to say about the master.
"The master was kind when he wanted to be he could also be very cruel, I guess though I was stupid to follow him." She sighed. Maybe she was foolish to follow him who knew.

[Joel Shibby]

Joel shook his head "You are not stupid for fellowing him you thought it was the right thing to do and what would you have done when everyone turned on you for not fellowing him?" Joel asked he hadn't been close to someone in awhile and he liked it, he liked Dante she was a beautiful and careing person.

"Well she is dieing of Cancer, she thought it was gone but it came back again so she is fighting for her life again, I couldn't stand seeing her laying in bed looking worse everyday that is why she told me to come back here but I can't stand not seeing her next morning"

[Dante Rose Black]

"Thanks really Joel, my mother died just cause she was to weak to take it the birth, you live through you'll survive because your a strong person your mum would want you to survive, I want you to survive." She smiled at him wanting him to know she was there for him to talk to. She wanted him to survive.

"If you ever need me I'm always here, always here with you." She said smiling even more.

[Joel Shibby]

For some reason the words that Dante was saying hit Joel hard, Dante really meant what she was saying not just what he wanted to hear.

Joel grabbed Dante's hand and kissed it softly "You are one of the most sweetest people that I have ever met Dante, you are careing, and you do like to share, you are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you differently" Joel said smiling still fighting the tears from his eyes

[Dante Rose Black]

"No ones ever called her beautiful or caring I was the cold hearted Slytherin that followed the Dark Lord." Dante smiled sadly. And she was surprised when he kissed her hand. She let her smile fall and moved her head down. If her eyes could see she would be staring at the dragon patrened kimono she was wearing. She let her blind eyes look at his.

"You know I don't think anyone else thinks the way you do, you a probaly alone in your thoughts, she pulled the black scarf around her a bit tighter.

[Joel Shibby]

"Well then others just weren't looking at you, because anyone that can't see your beauty must be blind" Joel said smiling still looking into Dante's eyes

"I am glad no one thinks like me or we would have alot of crazy people walking around, I like being different I knew I would never fellow anyone or be like anyone else, I am me and I will always be me, maybe it is time to show yourself who you really are and not who you should be or even fellow" Joel said

[Dante Rose Black]

"I guess I've been trying to hide myself from the world to long." She smiled,

"I'm glad there arn't lots of people like you cause then I wouldn't be able to pick wich one I like the best." She had let that slip without meaning. She gasped bringing her hand to her mouth.

"I should not have said that." She said blushing a small bit of color to her otherwise very pale face. She smiled shyly playing with her hair. "I'm really sorry about that."

[Joel Shibby]

Joel smiled "Sorry about what, that you are glad there is only one of me because then you wouldn't be able to pick wich one I like the best, because I am glad there is only one of you best then I wouldn't know which one I would like best either" Joel said going red in the cheeks

"I like you Dante, I like you alot" Joel said hoping he was not just making a fool out of himself and that feelings would be returned

[Dante Rose Black]

"I like you. you are the nicest man I've ever meant really, every guy in my life wanted me to kill someone for them." Her pale cheeks got even redder as she blushed.

"Thanks Joel for everything you are one of a kjind, a sweet person with a caring personality, don't let anything ever change you please, I would be a very sad person if you did." She blushed even more probaly making an idiot of herself.

[Joel Shibby]

"Well you have nothing to worry about because I don't ever want to make you sad, so if you don't want me to change for you I wont" Joel said Kissing Dante softly on the cheek hoping she would understand how he felt about her after only a short time of knowing her
