If someone had come out by the lake that afternoon to watch the sun go down, they would have seen a young girl of 15 standing at the edge of the lake. Her hair was pinned back into a bun on her head, and the long black robes she wore were gently flowing in the soft breeze.
Roan Aliagh had come out despite the ending day to listen to the water of the lake and think a bit. She held a few stones in her hand which she threw into the rippling water every few minutes with soft *plunks*. Her face was hard and cold as steel and she took no notice to the beautiful colors that stretched across the sky heralding the days end. She was too lost in thought to pay much attention to anything right now.
It was her first time out of the school since the attack in the library. She had recovered physically, all she had were a few broken ribs and numerous bruises. Luckily the crazy lycan who attacked her had knocked her out quickly before there was a real fight. Roan hadnt recovered mentally and emotionally, not for a long shot, though. She still didnt know why she was attacked, she didnt do anything. Although she was in her 4th year here at Magic Horizons the young Hufflepuff had lain low and avoided contact with anyone. She had spent most of her time in the library pouring over books. That was a hobby she knew she would never do again, she would never ever enter that place. The lycan had attacked her though, without real reason, leaving the normally quiet and calm girl angry and resentful.
The thing that bugged her most though was her inability to react to the attack. She had pretty much stood there with her wand out, the narrow shelves in the library didnt hold much room for movement so she didnt have time or space to move out of the way of Fenris. But still, she didnt do anything. She was weak. At that thought she threw another stone into the lake as hard as she could and watched the ripples go out and out in a beautiful pattern.
She knew though, that now her days of sitting back and keeping to herself were over. From now on she needed to learn how to fight, how to defend herself, so she would be ready next time. Never again would she be caught unawares, and she would never be so foolish again. That was over. So Roan threw the last of her stones into the lake and crossed her arms, eyes focused forwards. Then with one last thought she let go of who she used to be, and embraced the path before her.

The girl by the water was not the only one outside the grounds that day. Another girl, from her house, had been walking among the trees a good way from the water. The golden, red, and orange maple leaves looked very beautiful to Rezna and she couldn't help herself if not walk among them, in peace.
The fresh air and the smell of dry leaves had placed her in a better mood then she had been all past week. So, even hearing the splash of poorly aimed skipping stones didn't bother her. Looking up carelessly, Rezna noted that a lonely figure stood along the water's edge.
The lake. It was ironic how both times she had visited it, she never planned to stay. This time, deciding to challenge irony, the girl made her way to the waters on her own will.
After a while, she came to stand before the golden waters, a few feet away from the other girl. Once in a while, Rezna's green eyes fell on the solemn figure and she wondered why the other did not enjoy the beautiful sight. It was then, while looking at the brown haired girl, that Rezna noticed the color of her robes.
"I've never seen you around the common room," Rezna voiced her thoughts without thinking. Biting her tongue, she decided it was best that she let the statement hang. Perhaps the other girl didn't even hear her.

Roan was deep in thought, and the voice of Rezna nearby startled her. She jumped a bit and stared at the brown haired girl, realizing that she had seen her before. Somewhere… Shaking the thought of out her mind, she returned to her focus. A slight smile crossed her icy expression, which looked odd upon her usually cheerful face. “The common room isn’t exactly a place I visit often, the library used to be my haven. Common Room is too noisy.” She said in a soft voice.
That was true, Roan wasn’t the most social of the Hufflepuffs, since most of them were unusually hyper and happy…all the time. Books were better company than people in her opinion. It hurt her deep to know she would not return to her haven of the library were so many tomes of knowledge were held. With thoughtful eyes the young Hufflepuff looked around at her surroundings again, taking in the beautiful autumn atmosphere. This was what was worth living for. The soft and gentle wind on your face and the majesty of nature itself.
Shaking herself out of thought, she turned back to Rezna, her eyes and face softening. Roan didn’t wish to scare her away with her looks of anger and frustration. She knew this girl was nice, and she had met her before. Her mind just couldn’t recall when. “Sorry, my manners have been a bit lax of late. I’m Roan, Hufflepuff 4th year.” She said softly, loud enough to reach Rezna’s ears, but no further. “Pardon me asking, but I think Ive met you, somewhere before…Its like a shadow in the back of my mind.” The last part she said with a laugh and credited her weird language to all her reading. Sometimes she got a little too…into…the words on a page.

Rezna looked at the other girl for a long time, trying to remember where they could have met. "I know what you mean, but I can't remember either. It probably was the common room, or maybe in a class. In any case, I'm Rezna."
Now that they had begun to talk, Rez got up and walked over to lean against a tree a little bit behind where Roan stood. Letting the silence hang around them for a while, she tried to think of something more to say.
"Wonder why no one is out tonight," she finally said softly. "It's a pretty sunset, you'd think someone other then us two would come out here to enjoy it. Then again, considering my friends, they are too busy playing Quidditch, or doing homework, besi-.... besides other things."

OOC: Ack...another crappy post...*goes and crawls into a hole but then realizes she has karate in 10 min...*
When Rezna said her name, something itched in the back of her mind. Then it hit her, she had met this girl before. A long long time ago. She couldnt believe she forgot the first person she had ever met at Magic Horizons. A soft smile crossed her face as she remembered that foolish day. She had also met some other people, but their names escaped her troubled mind for the time. She turned to Rezna with a smile. "Well Miss Rezna, its nice to meet you again. I dont know if you remember me or not, Im Roan, Roan Aliagh. I met you when I first came here, a young girl with her nose stuck in a book." she said half-way cheerfully. Her gaze then returned to the lake in front of her.
Silence was a beautiful thing, and the one that hung between the two students wasnt uncomftorable for Roan. She enjoyed it. If she had been around a more hyper student it probably wouldnt had bothered her, but Rezna for the time was calming to be around. She let her mind detach for a moment from the dark and painful thoughts of the library. She closed her eyes for a moment and let the soft breeze caress her cheek and whisper in her ear. The day was wonderful. Then Rezna spoke again and she opened her eyes and looked back over to the Hufflepuff by the tree.
"I dont know why nobody else is out. Who would want to miss this. Sunsets and days this wonderful are rare things, that should not be missed." Roan said dreamily, her voice trailing off. She couldnt help but let her mind wander when she began to speak, a flaw she wasnt that proud of. "Psh, who needs Quidditch when you have this?.............What brings you out here, also interested in the magesty of nature?"

As if on cue, after the words, 'a young girl with her nose stuck in a book' Rezna remembered meeting Roan in the entrance hall. To her it seemed as though it had been a life time ago, like something in a dream.
"Yes, now I remember. You were reading on the stairs. The entrance hall was empty too, I think. Then I was in a hurry from breakfast, don't know where, and I met you," she smiled a small and gentle smile. Yes, back then she had very little worries. She was probably off with a snack for her cat, or to read a book, or to meet a friend. Now things were much more complicated for her, and she was having difficulty not meeting a friend who would be in -. She forced herself to not finish her thought.
"I... I came out here for a bit of fresh air. Besides, if anything, it's the fall that I like the best. And seeing no one, well hardly anyone, outside, I decided to use the moment. It's different, nature as you call it, when you see it with silence. With noise, it loses it's majesty," she said, her voice growing softer and softer until finally, her last sentence was almost a whisper.
Again silence followed Rezna's words, as she gazed over the golden waters and the flaming trees along the water's edge on her left. She kept her mind blank as her green eyes followed a large red maple leaf as it fell into the water and caused small ripples to spread into the lake.
"And yourself?" she finally asked, her voice back to her regular soft tone that was loud enough to hear clearly, "are you here just to view nature?"
Rezna's voice carried hints of worry to it, as the last statement was spoken, for she had seen that Roan was troubled over something. The blond had no difficulty noticing her stress lines on her face and the serious drawn face of the girl before they began to speak. Looking at Roan with hidden concern, the blond Hufflepuff waited for the other's response with a look of indifference. The last thing Rezna wanted to do was to make Roan uncomfortable because of her prying questions.

OOC: Prepare for probably my most crappiest post...ever...that I worked on for 2 hours...lovely...
Roan eyes dropped a bit when Rezna spoke of the first time they met. That was one of her past memories that couldn’t pain her. One of the few. That meeting had been so long ago though, and she was happy that the other Hufflepuff could even remember it. She herself could only remember glimpses and flashes of it. Then when Rezna spoke of why she was out by the lake, Roan couldn’t hold back a smile. “Nature is wonderful to observe. But silence, I believe, is not the way to see it. Its only half as beautiful if it isn’t accompanied by the sounds of birds, wind in the trees, rustling reeds, chirping of insects. All make up the wonder around us.”
The young girl’s eye followed Rezna’s as the leaf fell to the water. Slowly and slowly, drifting down to its final resting place in a watery grave. As the leaf light touched the surface of the water, Roan closed her eyes again and held back her breath. If only every day was this simple. But even the beauty and simplicity of a day such as this could not remove the traces of anger and sorrow from the past. As much as she tried Roan still couldn’t force the memory of fear and helplessness from her mind. Even the prescence of Rezna could not distract her enough. Then the other Hufflepuff asked the question she had been dreading.
She didn’t want to lie to Rezna, but she didn’t want to say what had happened. Roan didn’t know how she would react. So she tried to say what she could without revealing too much. “Im out here….to…well…forget. When things go badly, the best thing to do sometimes is go somewhere, where you can find only good. To forget pain…to go where its absent…” She said quietly, trying to mask her true feelings. In reality, she was out here to be alone, to find some peace for her heart where right now hatred was present. It wasn’t natural for her to feel this way.
Turning to Rezna to keep her gaze for the first time, she smiled softly. Her eyes threatened to spill over with tears and her hands shook slightly. “Im sorry, Im ruining the mood. You don’t need to hear about all this.” Roan whispered softly. Something in the back of her mind was itching to just tell Rezna about the library, and get it over with. But she didn’t want to. That would be painful. Tucking a strand of her brown hair behind her ear, she returned her eyes to the lake, struggling to gather herself back to normal.

The blond Hufflepuff listened patiently as Roan told her about the peace that was centered around nature and it's sounds.
Agreeing, Rezna felt a small smile curl the ends of her lips softly. It was easy to relax with such simpicity in mind. But, seeing large tears welling up in the other's eyes, the happy feeling flew out of Rezna in seconds.
As her eye brows raised themselves involuntarily, in a questioning manner, Rez moved a few steps over to where Roan stood. "Forgetting is sometimes harder or simpler then you'd expect. It depends on your disposition on the topic in question."
'I'm sorry, I'm ruining the mood. You don’t need to hear about all this.'
Rezna knew it was true. She had enough to deal with on her own without having to carry the troubles of others on her shoulders. Still, as she remembered all the times she encontered such situations, Rezna found herself harboring only good memories of those encounters. Besides, she couldn't live with herself if she left this girl among horrible recolections without even extending a helping hand.
And as Rezna's green piercing eyes gently focused on Roan, she began speaking in a soft, yet strong, tone.
"The mood doesn't matter. The sun's almost set anyway. But, I've heard, and seen, more then you could imagion. I don't want to pressure you into telling me what it is that is bothering you, because it is your business entirely. I just want you to know that it is always easier to breath when those horrible memories are spoken and stop pressing on your chest. If you just forget them, then they remain inside your mind. But, if you get them out, on paper or otherwise, a part of that pain should go away."

Roan was taken aback by the attempt to comfort her, nobody had ever given a hand to the young girl. Not even in her old home, but then again, she never had a reason to be comforted in her old home. The Hufflepuff tore her gaze from Rezna, battling with herself. Should I tell her? she thought, then she shook away all traces of doubt. There was no room for it where strength was needed. She would get this venom out of her system. It took a few long moments and even more deep breaths before she could calm and center herself enough to begin.
"I...I guess its best to start with the beginning. I am, well, used to be, a book worm. Always had my nose in a book, and isolated myself in a corner of the library. Its where I spent all my time. That was my life, all I had." Roan said slowly and clearly, a soft smile flashed upon her face as she began to think about her old habits. But that smile left her quickly, her mind entertained darker thoughts. "I will never go back there again."
"About a week ago, I was in the library, which is nothing new. I walked into a book aisle to find something new to read. There for the first time in all my time living here, I was confronted someone. A lycan. 8 foot, giant thing, with silvery fur. The image of my most recent nightmares." The young girl said "lycan" with venom and malice in her voice. It angered her so much that she had been attacked for no reason. She took another deep breath before continueing. "It started out just trading words, but then I guess I angered him, because he transformed. Another lycan came, female this time, tried to stop him from attacking me. But...."
The silence of the afternoon was deafening. Roan was finding it hard to continue. To keep telling this story. It seemed almost silly to her that she was so upset about this. But you dont walk away from a battle with a lycan and a couple of demons, and then be rescued by a faerie without some reprocutions. A few tears leaked from her hazel eyes as she proceeded again. ".....he charged me, knocked me against a wall, which should of been it. But no, of course it wasnt. When I woke up from being unconcious, I find myself in the company of two demons. It was like a nightmare that I was living, and it wasnt going to end."
Roan took another moment to pause before she finished. She had told almost her entire tale, but felt no better. It was still like a hole in her heart, and a shadow in her mind. Almost done... "I think only luck got me out of there. A faerie came and removed me from the presence of the demons, brought me to the hospital wing. There I was treated for fractured ribs and a concussion, nothing really horrid in the magical world. But all the same...Its not the physical injuries that hurt Rezna. Its the fact that what was his name....Fenris...attacked me for no reason. And that I didnt do anything. I just stood there as he ran at me. I will never forget that, and I swear he will pay." Roan almost whispered over the wind.
Dropping her eyes a bit, she let a couple of tears roll down her face. That was hard, but she felt no better. It was still there.

'A lycan. 8 foot, giant thing, with silvery fur. The image of my most recent nightmares.'
'Its not the physical injuries that hurt Rezna. Its the fact that what was his name....Fenris...attacked me for no reason. And that I didn't do anything. I just stood there as he ran at me. I will never forget that, and I swear he will pay.'
These two parts of Roan's story had the greatest impact on Rezna. Her eyes focusing on the golden water of the lake, the blond girl tried to picture this event at the library. She was sure, almost positive, that the lycan that attacked Roan was the same that she had encountered in Divinations. After all, as far as she knew, there weren't too many eight foot lycans dwelling on Magic Horizons' grounds.
And what worried Rezna most were the affects of Roan's attack. She was hurt much more mentally than physically. Of course, that had to be because she did not expect the attack, she never asked for it.
That was where the experiences of the two girls diverged. Rezna came into her encounter, only half understanding everything including the danger she was putting herself in. However, Roan never wanted any of that. It must have been a horrible ordeal to live through.
"I don't blame you for not being able to get over what happened to you, Roan," Rezna finally told the girl softly. "I don't know if I would have been able to handle all that at once. However, I fear that you're not the only one to have suffered the wrath of both, demons and lycans. I must say, I've never heard of anyone having to face both at once. However, you've been strong enough to come out of it, at least physically strong. "
"I understand your situation more than you could know. I now know what it feels like to be defenseless when you need the strength, the power to fight. At the moment, I know I'll be facing great dangers but am unable to find the means to defend myself. I guess I draw courage and strength from the power in my wand- that is I used to, for it's gone now."
Seeing that her senseless rant wasn't getting them anyplace, she tried to reiterate. "Roan, I see why you're angry. The lycan- or Fenris rather, is not someone either of us could handle on our own. I don't want you thinking that you're weak because of it. There is a small number of spells that can hold one off, and knowing his style, I can tell you that he doesn't give you much time for consideration. The pain and perhaps fear of the attack will not go away easily. I only hope that you will not punish yourself for doing nothing, seeing as there was nothing to do."

Something hit her mind. She speaks as if she had met Fenris before…has she? Mentally noting this, she turned back to Rezna, wiping the tears from her face. “I’m not physically strong. I had to be carried out of the library, just because I survived, I’m not strong. Not mentally, not physically, not emotionally. I didn’t deserve to get out of that, I deserved to rot in the dark corners of that library. At least I wouldn’t have to face my shame now.” Roan said with a hint of venom in her quiet voice. Right now she didn’t know what she was supposed to be feeling, but her mind was raging at the moment. “Why! I want to know why! I just don’t understand. He had no reason, no purpose, nothing to gain. I didn’t do anything! Im so confused, I don’t know what to do.” Roan rambled, her anger growing, the girl’s soft face becoming tense. Her breathing had become more shallow as the Hufflepuff’s emotions rose up. Then she put her head into her hands for a moment, and responded in a quiet voice with tears streaming down her face. “Im not like you Rezna, Im not strong. I don’t just rebound from things. Right now I’m just…so confused. How can I not punish myself, if I don’t who will. At the moment, I think I will never learn. This was my fault, if I had kept my mouth shut and not let fear take over, this would have never happened.”
Roan knew she was just ranting, that right now it was just emotions spilling over. It was nice to vent some of it out now that she thought about it. The Hufflepuff knew she would regret those words in the future, but right now she didn’t care. She didn’t care about anything.
OOC: Too many posts to update…ugh…*groans and crawls into a bed*This is crappy, good way to vent emotion though….

As Roan screamed, yelled, and ranted, all that Rezna could do was take a step back from the girl. The anger, fury, and hate that the other demonstrated scared the blond more than her words did. She didn't understand the other's self hate. Sure, she had not been able to defend herself, but either did Rezna. The other did nothing for the lycans, Fenris's hate, but either did Rezna. So if both were so alike, why were they looking at it so differently, which one was right.
Rezna wasn't sure anymore. She had been confused, and had come out there to think, but somehow she never expected to think along these lines.
"Roan," she began, but her throat closed up on her words. "Roan," she began once more with her voice less kind than before, "you don't know how weak or strong I am. Quite frankly, either do I. And why do you need someone to punish you? For what? For not defending yourself. What could you have done? Charged at the eight foot lycan with your stick of a wand when he has brute strength? If you need someone to punish you, go find him, I'm sure he'll be glad to oblige."
Now Rezna was angry. She was angry at the other's self pity and hate. Maybe things were centered around her. Maybe she had just been an innocent passerby, one that got into things that were larger than her or even her books.
"Roan, if you think you're weak because you needed help getting to the hospital, than I'm more of a weakling than I ever expected myself to be! If you think you could have prevented your own attack, then I guess I'm just as stupid as you for having gone to a place I like, a classroom! Roan, don't you see? None of this is your fault. Why he attacked you? I don't know. I'd have to get into his mind, a scary place, and figure that out. Along the way, I'd look myself up while I was at it."
Taking a deep breath, the girl focused her shining, piercing eyes on Roan's own. "Now tell me, why don't you deserve to live after that? Tell me, what shame are you facing? But know this first, I know people who are worse off than you. Who might as well be dead, and all you can say is that you should have died! Well, if you don't value life, not after all that, then maybe there is no point to you living! Those people would gladly get back to living, but here you are, wishing for it!"
Tears from anger and the pain that she had earlier experienced filled her eyes with emotion. She was angry at Roan, at what she said, at herself for saying what she did, for letting her emotion show. She never cried before anyone else before. She never let others see her weak, her downfallen, not if she could help it.
Turning away from Roan, she closed her eyes, fighting her self. She brought up thinks she had hoped to hide withing herself. Her fear for their lost Professors, her confusion over Angelus Mortis, her own weaknesses. She knew that she hadn't really let any of that out before. She indeed had pretended to have simply rebounded from her attack easily. But that was false. She was just as confused as Roan. Only Rezna had no time for thought, she had been moving through life too fast lately for that. Perhaps that was what was helping her now.
"Well?" she asked Roan more calmly, "Answer my questions, as well as your own."

Roan was shocked at Rezna’s outburst. But it also refocused her anger. Everything the Hufflepuff said hurt her deeply, but that should have been expected. Roan herself had lost control, it was Rezna’s turn. The only difference is that Roan would not be responding to this. Her gaze became hard as steel, and she felt fury rising up in her chest. Not directed towards Fenris, but Rezna now. The girl knew it would do no good to fight with the other Hufflepuff, she was older and probably more experienced with verbal warfare. So Roan knew she had to leave before things got worse.
“I have no reason to answer you Rezna, nor shall I".She said calmly and with venom when Rezna had finished. Roan was done, this had made things worse and she would not deal with it. Shooting Rezna one more glare for her words, she turned her gaze. Each phrase that was aimed at her was going through her head, like a knife. But the Hufflepuff was stubborn, too stubborn to admit she was wrong. A major flaw.
Taking long strides away from Rezna, she attempted to bury all anger and contempt for the moment. She was too furious to do much of anything, and the young girl didn’t even know where she was going to go. Home. You should go home Roan, leave this place for a time, leave Fenris and all your mistakes behind. That thought ran through her head, and she knew it would probably best if she took her leave of Magic Horizons for a short while to visit family. She would return of course, very soon, for Fenris still had to pay for his attack on her. But when she came back, she would be ready.
After she had put a small amount of distance between her and Rezna, she turned around and tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ears. “Rezna, here is what I can tell you. It is better to die standing, than to live on your knees” She said loud enough so the girl could hear. Her eyes still bore no sign of calmness or kindness, just fury and anger.

Rezna was shocked by Roan's words, and hateful glares, as well as her own emotional loss of control. But the next thing she knew Roan was leaving, probably because of what she said. Rezna couldn't exactly blame her fellow Hufflepuff, for both girls were emotional wrecks.
With a sigh, she let the other walk away, while she turned back to the lake, and pulling her shoes off her cold feet, she dangled them in the water. The cold water helped the numbness from her heart spread across her body.
The tears she had held back since her attack and the fear that she had experienced finally broke through her barrier and she quietly began to sob, as her hot tears poured down her cold cheeks.
Resting her elbows on her knees, Rezna covered her face with her hands, quietly sobbing out all that she felt. She needed to pull herself together. She needed to be strong, to be able to fight and to aim her anger at people who deserved it. Her outburst toward Roan was accidental. But Rezna did not have the strength to fix it.
The tears stopped as quickly as they began. Crying was going to do her little good. If she was to face the attack of Angelus Mortis, she needed to be strong physically and mentally. For that she needed to pull her thoughts together.
She had lived, when she wasn't supposed to. She healed much sooner then expected. Now people had been taken who weren't supposed to. She needed to gather her strengths to fight. And fight she would. For people who were all ready attacked, like Roan, for her friends who'd been hurt, like Anna, and who could be hurt, like Ondrea and Aylen, and for the many others who lived in the place she called home.
Wiping her tears, Rezna looked around, making sure that no one had seen her. Luckily, Roan and her had been the only ones outside.
'Rezna, here is what I can tell you. It is better to die standing, than to live on your knees,' ran through Rezna's mind. 'It's true,' she told herself, 'and you will be standing the next time you see anyone associated with Angelus Mortis.'
Looking at the golden lake once more, an ironic smile lit up Rezna's pale, tear-streaked face.
'First two times, you had great fun here. The third time it was not so. I guess your, third-time charm thing works still,' she thought, letting the smile drop.

ooc:*titters* Sorry m'dears; I simply couldn't resist. IC: The Sun is setting in the sky
Studious students; say 'good-bye' But that wasn't the case in this scenario; where other students might have returned to the Castle for the evening; two stayed near the edges of the Lake. Two that Fenris Fenrir recognized from the edge of the Forest. Smiling with inner amusement, Fenris straightened from the tree that he had been leaning on and started to walk with a casual air towards the two girls. This would prove to be a most interesting engagement; unless the two girls decided to make things turn sour; in which case Fenris would simply overpower them. The first girl that he recognized was the one from the library; odd, that she could have escaped what happened to her had she not tempted him when he turned to let her live. He gave her the option of life, of happiness and yet she repaid him by taunting him; flaunting her new-found freedom. Had it not been for Sealla; the girl would have died that day, but it was also Sealla that stopped him a second time from harming the girl. And Fenris would have acted on it too, had she tried not to call out to his human side; the one thing that Fenris couldn't abide. And then the second one; the blond, she was a interesting case. She had more backbone out of the two and for her to recover from her wounds showed resolve. But as all terrifying experiences are prone to do; the memories of plummeting from such a height and the pain that her mortal body endured would surely haunt her. She challenged his authority and she had paid the price; for he couldn't have let her off easy by simply knocking her about; not in front of the Demoness or the class. Terror and Fear; those were weapons that were essential to Fenrir's arsenal and they were powerful weapons indeed. Terror froze people to their spots when they beheld an image they feared and fear; fear was the weapon that was whispered throughout the halls and in the classrooms; fear was ubiquitous. Stopping at a point where he was only 50 feet away from the now seperate girls, Fenris said in an eerily cheerful voice, "Well, well, well. It would seem that tonight is a get together of sorts, is it not? Here assembled are those that I have hurt and those that would desire to do harm unto me. To what do I owe the pleasure of stumbling on such a convient gather?"
