Figure in the Shadows

[Adhara Naunet]

"Hayz, I'M on rounds now," the brunette shot her friend an odd look,"What's gotten into you? Come on, let's go before one of us gets turned into one of those baneful lycans or something."

She looked around quickly, as if expecting one of the slobbering demons to leap out and take her by the throat. Adhara had been raised in an old pureblood family that, while they didn't hold any of the prejudices against muggles and muggleborns that many other old families had, she'd been taught that lycans and other half humans were entirely unnatural, and that they ought to be feared and hated.

"Actually, Miss prefect, I asked Miss Roberts here to give me a hand with rounding up the stdents, that is what she meant by her "rounds"."

Ash nodded towards the others,

"I will leave you two alone for the time being. I will grant you safe passage today, no being in this forest, save perhaps a demon, will hurt you now. Come to me in the Meadow, when you are done, Miss Roberts."

with that , Ash bowed and turned, walking straight into a tree, and disappearing through it.

[Hayzie]

Spotting this odd look, Hayz looked towards the dark forest floor again. It seemed she was doing this a lot lately. As her friend mentioned being turned into a lycan again, butterflies seemed to dance around.

However luckily, Ash saved her the trouble of having to lie to what she considered being one of her best friends. Nodding as he told her to meet him in the Meadow, she couldn’t help but wonder why…<br>
“So, I’ll catch up with you in a bit, okay?” Hayz told her friend, beginning to scuff a hole in the ground and still not looking up to her. However, she knew Addie would end up talking her in to going with her back to the castle. But then, there would only be a repeat of last time.

The temptation to walk off and leave was there, and a thread was tugging at her to follow that temptation, but she was rooted to the spot.
