Bound to the Memories

[Deirdre Shantina]

A young girl sits at the feet of an angel statue. Her amber gaze rests on a lone tombstone. A tear slips down her cheek as she whispers to herself.

[~Bella Rose~]

Bella was walking through the grave yard, as was usual for her, and she seen a young girl sitting by a statue talking to herself. "Hello, my name is Bella. Is there anything wrong?" she asked hoping that the girl would reply, there usually weren't that many people in here.

[Deirdre Shantina]

"No life that breathes with human breath,
Will ever be able to outrun Death," she read from the tombstone. "A very dark epitath indeed..."
She looked up with a small smile. "Alright? Well, compared to any other day yes, I'm wonderful."
She looked back to the headstone and gave a short, rather dry laugh. "Better than her..."

[~Bella Rose~]

Bella just looked down at the girl and then at the tombstone. She knew exactly how she felt, she had been there before. But she didn't fear death, rather she embraced it with open arms. She couldn't wait to die she was going to be rid of all this misery. She bent down and put an arm around the girl trying to help her up.
"Come on it's getting late, let's go back to the castle and get something to eat. You can sit with me."
Hoping, that she would come with her. Mabey slytherins have hearts... but she did know what the girl was going through.

[Deirdre Shantina]

"Wait," she whispered, slipping away from the girl. There was something she had to do before leaving.

She knelt beside the tombstone and closed her eyes. She started muttering as she clasped her hands. It was as if she was praying. Then, a small vine sprouted from the ground by the headstone. It twined around the it, obscuring the name and dates. Just as she stopped whispering, a bud bloomed. The black rose rested next to a small cherubim, creating an eerie, very unsettling picture.

The girl stood up and turned from the grave. "Alright, I'm ready," she said quietly without looking up.

[~Bella Rose~]

Bella watched the girl as she was whispering and just stood there waiting for her to be ready to go back to the school. When the girl got up she and Bella walked to towards the school. Bella waited a while before she said anything to the girl. Finally she had to break the silence, which she could no longer stand. "You never told me your name. I am in slytherin and you can sit with me at Dinner if you want to."

[Deirdre Shantina]

"You never told me yours either," dhe pointed out. She sighed before replying, "I would, but I'm in Ravenclaw."

[~Bella Rose~]

"Oh, I am sorry I didn't know, but I am sure that they probably would not care if you did or not. My name is Bella." She said but she didn't know if anyone would care. She was new after all and a few mistakes wouldn't hurt, or at least she didn't think it would.

[Deirdre Shantina]

"I think it would be best if I didn't..." she replied looking away. "My name is Deirdre, by the way. However, I do think you should come to the Ravenclaw table. Ravenclaws tend to be more receptive of other houses than Slytherin."

[~Bella Rose~]

Bella thought about it for a minute, and decided that she was right, Slytherins don't really accept others as well as Ravenclaws' do. "Okay, I'll sit with you." she replied as they began to reach the castle.

[Deirdre Shantina]

"Good, it should be interesting to see the reactions of my fellow Ravenclaws," Deirdre said with a small laugh. She brushed her black hair from her face with her hand, revealing a black rose tatooed there.

[~Bella Rose~]

"oh my gosh, I love ur tattoo, it's like mine. But it's on my left shoulder, and there is a snake going around the stem. It's going to be very intresting to see there faces." She said sighing, knowing that they probably will be staring at her. Well let's give them something to look at, she thought to her self.
"Can I go and change first... there all going to be staring at me, and I want to give them something to stare at. I have this red dress that will catch alot of stares. Come eith me to my commonroom, you can wait for me in my room."

[Deirdre Shantina]

"Oh, alright..." Deirdre replied,more than just a little startled. It was rare to find a Slytherin who would invite someone from another house to their Common room.

She pulled off her robe as she walked and rolloed up the sleeve of her shirt, revealing the rest of the tatoo. The black vine twined around her forearm and on past the sleeve.

"My tatoo goes all the way around my arm, down my body, to my right ankle," she said, pulling her robe back on. "So, have you gone here since your first year?"

[~Bella Rose~]

"Wow, that's really cool. I just started going here last year. I am in my fifth year." She said with a sigh, she missed her old school, her old firends, and more importatly her Darien.
It was kind of unconventional for her, a slytherin, to ask a Ravenclaw to come to their commonroom, but she was doing it any way. Who knows mabey they could be friends, She had never had a friend in a different house before.

The two of them walked into the commonroom and everybody looked at them but never said a word.
Bella went to her trunk and pulled out a red dress the was cut so the it showed her black rose tattoo, with the snake going around the stem and the words "live evil" written down the side of the rose.

Bella showed Deirdre the dress.

[Deirdre Shantina]

"Wow, that's hot..."Deirdre said, admiring the dress. Then she smiled a rather mischievious smile. "I prefer darker colors myself..."
She pulled her wand from her robes and tapped her chest, muttering a few words under her breath. Her robes melted away to a black tank-top and black pants. Sequin spiders flitted down her arms, covering them in fine navy spiderweb sleeves. A silver streak appeared in her hair that hung down over one eye. A small spider appeared on the rose tatoo on her hand.
"I prefer something like this," Deirdre said.
