OOC: Now, before you read this, you should cue up 'Burn' by Three Days Grace.
The doors to the Great Hall slowly opened, then, as if the person behind them had decided that they werent moving fast enough, and hit them again. Hard. The doors positively flew open, crashing as they banged against the wall, nearly being torn from their hinges. Isaac stood quietly in the doorway in all his demonic glory. As he had walked up from the forest after his 'Transformation', he had made the change to full Demon, something he had only done once, when he had been sired. He had not held the urge to kill, as Michaela, now his Master, had implied, rather, he had the urge.....the urge to burn.
OOC: Now you foolish mortals will play that song.
BIC:
Isaac stretched his arms out to either side of him, clenching his fists, and twisted his arms up towards the sky. The veins, threading along the length of his rippling muscled, bulged like so many angry snakes as Isaac roared, a sound that caused the enchanted ceiling to seemingly tremble in fear. Fire boiled forth from Isaac's clenched fists as they lowered again, jumping around, as if of its own accord, and igniting the end of each House Table closest to the door. Isaac roared again, and with the gesture of a maestro commanding his orchestra to reach a crescendo, raised his fists again and opened his fingers. Instantly, the flames raced in an eerie sense of unison towards the High Table. Isaac laughed, a chilling sound, as he walked slowly towards the High Table, intent evident in his bloodred gaze.

Eleanor leapt up from the end of the Hufflepuff table, nearly knocking over the bench in her haste...haste for what, she did not know - fight, flee, or something unplanned? She heard herself scream as she began to beat back the flames that had crept towards her sagging bag. Fire, fire, why fire?! She looked around with desperate brown eyes, feeling ice cold fear seize her heart and mind, seeping through her nerves until the dumbest of trolls might have responded better than her. A trickle of sweat ran down her back as she fixed her gaze upon Isaac, silently pleading. Her mind wrenched out of its daze, screaming at her to run, get away, run! Her legs might have been lead for all the good it did her. The girl found herself only able to watch in terror, heart beating madly in her throat.

From across the room, Michaela sneered with sadistic delight. She was glad the Innocence Lost had turned him to her will, instead of killing him. He would prove most useful. She now turned and stalked out of the Great Hall, pain and passion driving her steps. Behind her, flames sprung up across the tapestries and paintings, tailing her down the hallways. No sooner had she turned the corner then the cover of night blown. She heard screams far above as the dormitories emptied. Frenzied students spilled out into the hallways, scattering in every direction. Michaela allowed herself a moment of grim satisfaction as she saw the first of the students entering her own hallway. He was so panicked as he ran he did not even look to see who she was, but kept right on running. A second before he reached her, Michaela's new sword flew from its hiding place beneath her shroud and caught him the chest, engulfing him in that same red light. A moment later the now red eyed boy was running off in the opposite direction, wielding a flaming picture frame. Michaela pressed on, holding the sword out to one side, scraping it across the wall. She turned the corner to see her newly possessed student launching another screaming out the window. She smirked... but the amusement was cut violently short. Voices welled up in the back of her mind... "Rhea..." passed her lips once more. The world around her vanished. She now stood in a very different place... Marble floors..... The light of a moon which hung in a sky unpolluted danced on it's smooth surface.. Then she saw it... Deep red... Blood... running hot, over the marble. Whereas usually this would have enticed her, it now repelled her. Made her sick. Her eyes followed it upwards to find a figure, consumed in shadow, blood dripping from its lips. And two pale, yellow, cat like eyes staring up at her. In its hand... a girl, choked of life, blood streaming from her childlike neck... Reality came rushing back to Michaela and she found herself in the hallway, now humming an eerie lullaby, just beyond memories reach... The student was gone... The hall was now empty but for one person who she now saw standing, gazing out the broken window. She began to walk towards him... voices playing in her mind like a record. Michaela..... Her view was now clearer. He wore large black garments, obscuring his form. Why do you call me that?.... His skin, even more pale then her own. It is your name.... Deep blue veins, she could see, running beneath it. The name you are to have.... His hair, black as a starless night. No... My name is.... "ORIS!" she called, finally reaching him. "Your name is Oris!" she cried as he turned to face her, "Why do I know that!?"

Isaac glanced at Eleanor, then, with an air more of curiousity than concern, he walked over to the bag and calmly tore it open, looking inside.

Eleanor stiffened, expression outraged as the boy who had so carelessly set the Great Hall to pandemonium and worse began to rifle through her things. She took in a deep breath and stepped back, fishing inside her robes for her wand. What good it could do...she had no idea, but it felt a lot safer to her than being "up the creek without a paddle", as they said. What her goal was she had no idea - she could clearly not stop Isaac, but had no desire to flee as a coward would. But perhaps that would end up being her only chance for survival.
"Don't," She breathed, feeling her muscles tense. There was obviously something wrong with the boy; what it was the Hufflepuff couldn't tell. Eleanor cast a quick glance to the High Table, hoping that at least one Professor would know what to do.

Isaac idly flicked his hand, lighting the tip of her wand aflame. Then, losing interest in the girl, he glanced into the bag, looking again for anything that seemed of remote value.

'Aquose!!!' Came a loud, clear voice that shuddered through the room as a large jet of water suddenly began to issue from the wand of a rather pale figure. Professor Astraea Romani stood before the High Table with her wand held before her, doing her best to exstinguish the growing inferno, but the flames were almost to the middle of each table. Seeing the demon who had done this had undoubtedly shook her, giving her a feeling of light headedness, but she had stood and immediately tried to stop the creeping flame.
'Accio Eleanor's bag!' Romani also called with anger, her cheeks beginning to color, which was a rather remarkable thing for her. The bag tore from the demon's grasp and flew to Romani's open hand as she glared at the insolent demon.
"What business do you have here creature?" The porcelein doll-like woman demanded in a voice that didn't match her demeanor. "I demand that you leave at once and end your havoc."

"How dare you." Isaac spat. He flew at Romani, lifting her easily with one arm and, turning and flying towards a wall, slamming her against it. "Simply because I look different than you, does not mean you have the right to attempt to demean me by calling me creature." Isaac said, his voice edged with fury, his face inches from hers.

Romani gasped in pain as she was slammed into the wall, crumpled and bruised like a flower petal. Compared to the dark demon, she did in fact, now look like a creature of moonlight.
Opening her eyes through a grimace, she looked back directly into his maddened eyes. "And what gives you the right to come in and destroy our home?" She seethed through cleaned teeth. Her beautiful sapphire eyes were painfilled and glistened with unshed tears, and her fragile, pallid skin already bruising.

His harsh laughter, right in front of her face, caused a string within her to tighten in anger as she continued to hang there, completely supported by his vice like grip against the wall.
"You're horrible... and not only of redocorating. I've heard of you, Isaac, and what I've heard, certainly didn't include this." She whispered, using her eyes to glimpse back at the burning table.

Isaac blinked. NOW he was confused, "Heard of me?What have you heard?" He said, his grip loosening lightly.

"I've heard that you came to be what you are through love," Romani replied softly, easing back into her normal coutenance, even though he was still in the position to kill her. "That you're blind, but you see... and that you're one of the few people ever to leave the Vampire Liar with a vein intact."
Raising her once limp arms, she place her hands on his arm to pull herself up slightly, so that she didn't hang so painfully.

The young Professor never let her eyes leave Isaac's as he slowly, almost gently put her back on her feet.
"It's true... isn't it?" She asked softly, continuing to look at him even though smoke was beginning to encircle them. Romani knew that her weak health wouldn't put up much with this risk... but she stayed her ground.
