Forbidden Forest

Lily almost let out a sigh in relief but didn't dare. They still might here her and Oddie.

She listened yet again.

Sky smiled at Jaden. "Well that look was all it was, a look." She sighed for a moment and took a deep breath before she started talking again. "You were gone quite a while. Fated came back from his mission the Dark Lord sent him on and the Dark Lord sent me to him. He knows how well we work together. I will admit that Fated and I have been getting closer these days."

She took the bottle of meade from his hands and took a long haul from it. She felt his hand come up to her and as he brushed the hair away from her eyes she got chills. His touch was always so gentle with her, not something you would expect for someone that was one of the Dark Lord's most trusted Death Eaters.

She listened to him as he told her that he had felt things for her that he had not felt for anyone else. It was a start but it was still not the words she expected to hear from him, especially where he had saw the eye contact between herself and Fated back in the room of requirement.

She turned her head quickly around as she thought she could hear someone near them in the forest. She stood up quick and grabbed her wand out of her robe and pointed it towards the sound coming from behind them. "Reveal yourself." She said loudly in a sinister tone.

"crap!" lily said in barely a whisper dryinh to remain silent.

She slipped and fell.

she stopped herself from moaning in pain.

"So it was." He sighed, leaning forward. He was bad at these things, something that had bothered him on and off his whole life. He wasn't saying the things she wanted to hear, which could end up being ill in his favor.

Fated was the best frined he could ask for. One of the few that knew of his lycanthorpy in their younger years and the one who had taken Aiden's place. Sky had broken him out of Azkaban and had her husband murdered just so she could be with him. He didn't know what to do.

"I lo-" He quickly leaned around the tree he was sitting against as he heard the voice. Bloody hades, someone was sneaking around...and interrupting. He got to his feet and strode around the tree, wand in his hand. "I'll take care of it." And growled, following after the person.

"Damnation...." He muttered, dodging behind a tree as they stopped, holding his wand over his head. Just as he was about to yell Stupefy he stopped, focusing his eyes on none other than Fated. "Fatey?"

~Fated spun around looking from the dead rotting weasleys to Jaden and Sky who had noticed him.~

"Oh...hey Jaden, hey Sky uh- sorry to interrupt you two, I just came to see if those two had decomposed yet." His voice faltered a bit but he simply blew it off.~

~He then cleared his throat, lowering his own wand that he'd drawn when he'd heard someone and then sighed deeply.~ "So, what brings you two out here this late at night?" He raised a brow.~

Sky smiled as she saw Fated was the one who was near them in the forest. She walked over to him and narrowed her eyes at him a bit. "You know better than to go sneaking around two powerful Death Eaters." She gave Fated a playful smile and locked her green eyes with his blue ones for a moment before looking away. She did feel attracted to him and these past few weeks where the two of them had been together practically every moment of the day was not helping her to not feel anything for him. She did like Jaden. She had for a long time but it bothered her so that he never really could admit his feeling towards her. Maybe she was foolish for thinking that way but Sky was a very passionate person and enjoyed knowing when she was loved by someone.

She cleared her mind of these thoughts and spoke to Fated. "I have a bottle of elven meade here. Since you are here in our company, you mine as well enjoy it with us." She gestured for him to sit down and she sat down next to Jaden and took the bottle and took a long haul of the very strong meade and passed it over to Fated. "I think we could all use a little loosening up." She laughed and then looked at Jaden. "I am sure we can continue our conversation later because I still need to get your answer." She gave him a quick smile and then layed back on the forest floor and looked up at the dark sky, her long, blond hair spread out across the ground. She folded her hands around one another and breathed deeply, taking in the night air.

~Fated locked eyes with Sky for a moment, thinking about the time they'd spent together then blinked and cleared his throat~ "Meade eh?" He said now smiling slightly. "Yeah, I think I do need to loosen up. Especially with all that has gone on in battle and training." He replied as he sat down on the other side of Sky.~

~He took the bottle and began to drink. The warm liquid soothed his throat and he let out a sigh as he started to relax a bit.~

He barley heard the conversation between the two and simply nodded. Maybe it was time for Jaden to step out. He followed the two back over to where they had been sitting and kicked back on the floor, leaning back against the tree. He didn't know what to do anymore. His whole life things had been snatched away from him. He shrugged to himself. No matter, he supposed. Something he'd just have to deal with.

"What ya, doin out here, Fatey?" He inquired, quiriking a brow to him. "Not the best thing to be doing, lurking around in the woods, you know." He removed a flask from his pocket and took a drink. His own special little "blend." Wolfsbane was a wonferful thing.

Sky saw the look on Jaden's face and could tell he wasn't happy at the moment. She really didn't know what to say to him. Her and Fated had gotten so close these past weeks and her connection with him was something she could not ignore. But she also was connected to Jaden. She had killed her husband. Not only to prove her loyalties to the Dark Lord but to be with him. It was too much to think about right now. She was swinging in one direction more than the other but was not going to say anything to either of them just yet. No matter what she said, who she chose there would be tension in their once perfect group. At least they were all fighting for the same side. That made it a bit easier to deal with.

She took another look at Fated. He was sitting there next to her and had just took a long haul off the elven meade and sat back a bit and relaxed. He let out a sigh and smiled a bit. She looked over at him and looked into his eyes for a moment. His blue eyes were always so full of thought, so intense looking. She locked her green eyes onto his for a monent before turning to look at Jaden. He was leaning up against a tree and had just started speaking to Fated. She looked at him for a moment and then decided she was going to bring a new subject up.

"I spoke with our Lord earlier today. Kylee Kingsbury, the daughter of one of our Lord's most trusted has joined our side just today. She is a lot like me. Very willing to fight for our cause. She is a risk taker and is quite good at her Dark Arts training. I met her while attending Hogwarts. You both will find her intruiging, I am certain. She is on our side and the three of us together can make her just as strong, powerful and sinister as we are. I am going to get her and bring her here to meet you. The Dark Lord wants us to take her under our wing and show her the ways of his servantry."

She smiled at the two fellow Death Eaters and stood up and transformed herself into her owl animagus and flew off into the night. She headed to the edge of the forest where she was meeting Kylee. She asked Kylee to come and meet her back in the forest and she gladly agreed. Kylee knew all of Sky's secrets, all of them. She had been close with her for a while now. She even knew that Sky was struggling emotionally inside to decide which heart she was going to follow and whos heart she would be breaking.

Sky looked at Kylee and asked her if she was ready. She saw that Kylee had already turned into her fox animagus form and Sky jumped back for a moment. She had forgotten that Kylee's animagus was a fox, like Jaden's. She quickly changed herself back into her owl form and the two of them went into the dark woods. They stopped not to close to where Fated and Jaden were sitting. Sky changed herself back into her human form and walked over to the two Death Eaters and took a seat next to Fated where she was sitiing before. "This is Kylee." Sky spoke to them, her usual evil grin placed on her lips.

Traci ran through the woods "ahh they are going to eat me EW cky man eating spiders" she yellled as she ran into..sky. "hi sky ahhh death eaters" she began to cry she was weak at the moment and she wished they kill her since no man ever seemed to love her and her friends werent that close expect one and she stood before her. "you can kill me i bet no one would notice" she mumbled as tears ran down her cheecks

Sky smiled up at Kylee. Fated and Jaden were talking so their minds were busy and she figured she could quietly talk to Kylee without them hearing her. She moved from her spot next to Fated and sat very close to Kylee.

"Well, you know what I have been going through trying to decide which direction to swing in." Sky whispered to her friend. She let out a sigh and then started whispering to Kylee again. "I have told you all about Jaden and the brief times we have shared together. I have also told you about me and Fated becoming quite close during the past few weeks. I met Fated back when I was in school, back when I was fighting for the other side, he had the chance to kill me right then and there but did not. Now that I am on the same side as him, I think back to that time quite often. The way he looks at me, the passion and intensity in his eyes, the evil grin he has when excited about doing something great for our Lord. It just does something to me. Something I can't explain." Sky looked over at Fated and got a glimpse of his eyes and locked her eyes with him for a moment and flashed him a quick smile before looking at Kylee again.

"I want to be with Fated." She said quietly, her eyes lightening up with the thought of being with him. "I do love Jaden but it's different. I have to go with what I am feeling now and that feeling is so strong when I am with Fated. We are so much alike and together we do great things for the dark Lord. We are and unstoppable team."

Sky bit her lip for a moment. She knew Jaden cared for her but she never was told by him how much. Maybe it was just the kind of person he was, Sky didn't know but she did know who she wanted to be with, that was a certain. She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. The three of them together were one of the strongest forces, unstoppable really when it came to planning and acting out their evil deeds. She just hoped that it would continue to be like that. Now she had Kylee to go with them and help them in doing work for the Dark Lord. The four of them would do wonders for their side.

Sky looked up and saw Traci coming over towards them and then bumped into Sky. "What the hell." Sky said out loud, her eyes narrowing on Traci who was crying and rambling about them killing her. An evil grin played on Sky's lips. She was ready for a distaction and a fun one at that. She nodded to Kylee and stood up and wrapped her hand tightly around her wand. She looked at Kylee. "Ready to have a little fun?" Sky asked, her voice hinted excitement.

Zexion entered the forest. It must have recently rained, drops were still dripping down from the leaves. He sighed, pulling up his hood. Oh how he hated being wet, with a passion.

After wandering the woods for a long time, he heard some voices, and walked up to the group of, Kylee, Fated, Jaden, Sky and Traci. The most recent thing that transfered to his ears were, "Ready to have a little fun?" He saw the sight of Sky, with a malicious grin on her face and some girl he didn't recognize. And of course, Traci, who always seemed to be getting herself in trouble.

'I wonder if she likes suffering...' he snickered, thinking to himself.

He approached the group, pulling down his hood.

"How barbaric.."

Lily lay on the cold, wet ground. She kept her mouth shut even though she was in extreme pain. She had broken a few bones.

She closed her mouth, keep herself from crying out in pain and listened. Being a Death Eater kept her on her toes. She moved quickly and silently when performing.


She tuned out the odd loudness of the forest and listened to the other's conversations.

After Oddie was sure she would be able to climb down the tree without being noticed she quickly descended to see if lily was ok. When she was on the ground she got close to lily and whispered in her ear "Are you ok" Hopeing that she wouldnt be heard.

Lily finally moving shook her head slightly to say no and then put her finger over her mouth.

The ground made her injuries hurt worse. The cold made her stiff. She patted the ground next to her to tell oddie to get down as close to the ground as possible.

Oddie saw her pat the ground so she flattened herself against the ground. All she could think about was what pain lily must have been in

"I think i broke like 4 or 5 bones," lily hissed quietly as she tried to shift her wieght. She winced.

"We'll have to wait until they leave, so i can get out of here," she said.

Lily gave up on taking the wieght off one of the broken bones and just lay there, pretty helpless.

"Do you want me to heal them for you" Oddie whispoered to her pulling out her wand not caring weather or not lily wanted her to. She whispered the spell and lily's bones healed themselves

Lily's icy expression came back. Pain made her more awake and aware and she really didn't mind it. She sighed lightly and mouthed thank you.

She felt uneasy with out something there to keep her aware of her surroundings. The pain was good, refreshing and absolutly nessicaroy. She cringed at the thought of pain, but loved the feeling of awarness. It was almost worth it to falll out of that tree.

she tried to listen to the other's conversation, wishing the pain was back.

"Who are they" Oddie said noticing Lily was trying to listen in on the conversation. "We might have to move" she added not wanting to be spotted

He nodded yo Kylee as she approached, a daek look in his green eyes. So thus was how it was, eh? He refused the bottle that was handed to him. He'd be damned if they were going to get him drunk. The two girls began talking and he muffled most of it out, but his keen ears caught one sentence: 'I want to be with Fated.'

"That's how it is then?" He ignored Traci as she ran past like a mad woman, narrowing his eyes slightly. He didn't blame anyone but himself for this, but, naturally, he'd huff off like it was everyone else who had done it. There were no charming smiles, no sly winks as he took to his feet.

Lily sat up and nodded at oddie. "sky, .....his name's....Jaden. I think, Fated, and a girl i don't know at all."


She layed back down and rolled sneakily into the bushes, scraping herself, but she didn't care. She was able to sit up and look through the bushes.

She didn't know how she suddenly knew who the other guy was but she did and that was all she knew. She sighed lightly and peered through the bushes again.

Oddie followed Lily into the bushes and asked her "What should we do now". She looked around to make sure no one was near enough to hear them wishper

Lily sighed again.

"We can either wait here until they leave, or," Lily got an insane look on her face, "we can make ourselves known."

Lily put the icy face back on and made to get up.

'wonder what Oddie will make of this." She thought and stood full up.

"Hello!" she shouted loudly

"OK" Oddie whispered and stood up beside Lily. she just hoped that she wouldnt mess thgis upp for lily

~Fated was staring at the ground in thought when he heard part of Sky's conversation. "I want to be with Fated." She had said. He bit his lip and ventured to lift his head. As he did so his blue eyes become locked with a pair of green ones. He noticed the uneasiness of Jaden shifting and finally standing up. Fated had been friends with Jaden for a long time and he'd never dreamed of meddling into his life. He feared a strain in their friendship but said nothing as he watched Sky. She had caught his eye long before, though he'd not persued her for he'd had missions and orders to carry out before and his friendship with Jaden prevented him from doing anything sneaky. Many times he'd restrained himself from moving in on Sky in respect of his long time friend.

But now, hearing what Sky had said, he wondered if perhaps this time, he'd take the chance.~

Zexion turns his head towards Lily and Oddie.

"You two..must be the /stupidest/ girls I have ever met."

He looks over at where the rest of them had been, noticing Jaden's disappearance. He looks at Fated and then sees Sky and Kylee whispering about something in the distance.

"Honestly.."

He sighs, and then goes to stand next to Fated.

Lily laughed. "Stupidest ever," she hissed. Lily climbed out of the bush and walked behind Zexion. She didn't care if she got cursed. Pain was good. She caught up with him.

"I am definatly the stupidest girl you'ver ever met," she said cooly

He nods.

"Yes, yes you are. So, why don't you leave before you get yourself killed?"

He blows some hair out of his face.

"My life is a mess anyway. If i die there may be one person in the world who gives a dang. Besides, i don't mind getting tortured. Pain keeps me aware."

she sighed. The ground was hard as she walked on it.

"Hmmhmm!"He snickers to himself,"Aren't you just a little morbid tonight...?"

she shrugged. "Pessimistic." she said.
"A brand new out look on things,.....again." she said looking at the ground.

He black hair got into her eyes.

Sky watched as Jaden shifted himself and then stood up. She frowned for a moment. He must have heard what she told Kylee. She wanted to be the one to tell him, she just wanted to wait until they were alone. Then the thought crossed her mind that if Jaden had heard her then Fated most likely did as well. She turned her eyes away from Jaden and then looked over at Fated.

She saw that Fated was looking at her and she locked eyes with him for a moment and flashed him a slight smile. She decided that now was a good time to talk to him. She needed to tell him what was going on inside her head when she was with him. The way he made her feel simply by just talking to her. The chills she got when they locked eyes on so many occasions. Watching him as he did wicked deeds for the Dark Lord just simply drove her wild with this burning feeling of passion.

She stood up and brushed her robes off and slowly walked towards Fated, careful not to look at Jaden. She approached him and leaned over and whispered into his ear. "Come follow me deeper into the woods. I need to talk to you."

She straightened herself back up and gave him a slight smile and locked her green eyes onto his blue ones for a moment before slowly walking away into the deeper part of the forest.

Kylee heard Sky explain that she wanted Fated, and replied in barely a whisper “Well I guess that leaves Jaden for me then, now doesn’t it?”, a smirk playing on her lips. Out of the corner of her eye she glanced over at Jaden, then leaned back against a tree trunk.

Kylee was quiet happy about Sky’s choice, leaving Jaden for herself. She had only just met him yet something attracted her to him. She instantly fell for his bright green eyes and blonde hair, and his somewhat shortness didn’t bother her at all, for she herself is only 5’4.

Something- or someone- had caught Kylee’s eye, pulling her out of her thoughts. Her face seemed to scrunch up when she saw this girl run into Sky. “Ahh deatheaters” She heard the girl cry. “That is the worst thing to ever say to a death eater.” She said smirking. “you can kill me I bet no one would notice" “Well I sure wouldn’t.” Kylee muttered and stood up. "Ready to have a little fun?" She heard Sky say, with enthusiasm in her voice. “My dear friend Sky, when have you known me to be not ready?” She said, a smirk tugging on her lips again. She then turned to the girl and said “From what I’ve heard of you, I would’ve though you would have learnt your lesson about not playing with death eaters by now.” She reached into her back pocket and pulled out her wand and casually held it in her right hand. “So you want us to kill you, huh?” She said. “Well even I wouldn’t stoop that low to kill you before you do something worthy of it, but I will do this- CRUCIO!” She shouting, pointing her wand at the girl’s chest. Kylee smiled in satisfaction as she watched the pain shoot through the girl. She was definitely evil, and she wanted to make this known. After all, first impressions mean everything, right? “No need to hear you scream out in pain all night, and we wouldn’t want you running away and telling someone would we?” She said, and once again pointed her wand at the pathetic girl. “Petrificus totallus.” She said lazily. “Well that takes care of that problem.” Kylee said, sitting back down.

She saw Sky and Fated lock eyes, and Sky leave. Kylee knew Sky needed to talk to Fated, but she also new Sky had a way for matchmaking, and wanted to get Kylee and Jaden alone. Once those two had left she lifted her head and spoke to Jaden, who was now standing, “So, you’ve been for the cause for a while now? What’s the den like? My father’s been for the dark side for a while now, but never ventured to take me there. Maybe you know him, Christian Kingsbury?” She said, trying to start up a conversation.

"Was that....traci who that girl cursed?" Lily peered through the darkness.

'Yup it's traci!" Lily said.


She shook her head. Traci shuld have known better then to try to go through the pack of death eaters.

~Fated watched as Sky walked off into the forest and slowly found himself rising to his feet. He was sure that she could take care of herself but had a strong urge to follow her.

The forbidden forest wasn't any place to take lightly, with it's gnarly trees and twisted paths. Even the most experienced hunter would get lost in such a mess. There was also the issue of the type of creatures that inhabited this place. Dark, sinister, blood-thirsty monster prowled this forest.
And though Fated knew Sky was powerful, he knew that even she would not be able to fend off a hoard of Acromantulas.~

~A couple of minutes went by, and the uneasiness began to hit him hard. Dead silence always meant trouble and so unable to fight the unnerving feeling any longer, Fated walked into the forest.~

~He was no stranger to this forest as he'd hidden out many times and knew how to defend himself. He stopped for a moment at the hoot of an owl and then took a deep breath as he continued on.~

~The chilly wind beat against his slightly pale face, and his bangs fluttered lightly. His shimmering blue eyes were keen and very alert.~

~Then he saw a darker part of the forest where the moonlight could not follow and guide him. He'd lost sight of Sky a few feet back and wondered if she were okay. He stopped in his tracks and looked around slowly, listening for any sound of danger.~

Sky continued to walk deeper into the forest. She wanted to make sure she found a spot where no one would hear what she wanted to tell Fated. She needed this to be a private moment, their moment to talk without endless interuptions. So many people were in the forest on this chilly night. Sky thought that was a bit odd where the forest was usually such a quiet place.

She held her wand tightly and pointed it ahead of herself careful to be aware of her surroundings. Many dark creatures inhabited the forest, especially in the deeper part and she would be ready to defend herself if need be.

She stopped quick and heard footsteps coming up from behind her. She spun herself around quickly her wand pointed towards the noise. And then, she saw him. Standing there, his face illuminated by the moonlight. It was Fated, just the one she wanted to see. Her heart raced and she felt excitement run through her body, the excitement she always felt when they were together, especially when they were alone.

She lowered her wand and flashed him a smile and walked over close to him, her eyes locking onto his. "I really need to talk to you, and it has to be now, where we are alone. So much to say, and so much to show you." She walked a bit closer to him so the two of them were not too far apart, just a few feet seperated them. She looked at him with that alluring look in her eyes.

~Fated saw Sky and sighed in relief that she was okay. He lowered his own wand that he'd drawn only a second before, and placed it into the pocket of his robes. He smiled slightly, a rather strange calm washed over him as the beautiful woman approached him.~

" I really need to talk to you, and it has to be now, where we are alone. So much to say, and so much to show you." She had said, her voice sounded of great urgency yet soft, like the gentle coo of a dove which almost took his breath away.~

~And he eyed her curiously as she moved closer to him. He cleared his throat then broke eye contact with her long enough to take a quick look around and then turned back and locked eyes with her again, catching the alluring look she was giving him~

"I see..." His voice was just above a whisper and his tone held a bit of confusion, yet at the same time interest. His blue eyes twinkled with mystery and suspicion. "So, what do you need to talk to me about?" He asked in a low voice.~

"So, what do you need to talk to me about?" Sky heard Fated say and she knew it was now or never. She smiled and took a deep breath and began talking to him.

"We have known eachother a while now. You even knew me back when I was fighting for the other side." She cringed a bit at this thought as not too long ago her mind was so set against the death eaters. But now, seeing the power they posess, seeing the reasons behind the Dark Lord's ideas she just felt crazy for not joining them sooner. She shook her head a bit and continued.

"Back then when we first met during the final battle, you could have killed me, should have, but, you did not. I will always remember this Fated. Seems funny that you not killing me ended up being such a good thing. I am on your side now and the two of us as a team are unstoppable." Sky paused a moment to look into Fated's eyes and then continued to say everything she wanted to. She needed to tell him everything.

"I have felt a connection to you, always have since we first met. Something about you just has always intrigued me. I tried to shut it off, especially when I grew closer to Jaden but I couldn't and it has grown much stronger since the two of us have been together so much lately. We never seem to be away from eachother. I love our time together. We are so much alike and united imagine what we can become."

Sky paused for another moment and looked at the wand in her hand and twirled it around in her fingers before looking up at Fated again. This time staring deeply into his blue eyes. "What I am trying to say is that I want you. I want to be with you in every sense of the word. I want to feel your arms around me, feel the power you posess more than I have ever wanted anything before."

~Fated nodded slightly, remembering their first encounter and he had indeed spared her. Though at that particular time, he didn't even know why but she was captivating and intrigued him quite a bit. He merely stayed quiet as she continued on. Her words were astonishing and especially the last bits.~

"What I am trying to say is that I want you. I want to be with you in every sense of the word. I want to feel your arms around me, feel the power you posess more than I have ever wanted anything before."

~He could feel the sense of need in her voice, something he'd not been prepared for yet was not a bad thing. He'd had an interest in Sky for a while, though with his constant missions and duties to the Dark Lord, he hadn't been able to stay around very long. Of course upon his return, he'd been ordered by the Dark Lord himself, to work with Sky and essentially become partners. He could handle that as he'd pushed any emotional attachments to anyone aside. But he hadn't counted on actually letting those feelings come out upon his return.~
~He lowered his blue eyes, a softness twinkling in them as he smiled slightly.~

"I never imagined you would feel such a way about me, especially from our first meeting." He mumbled thoughtfully. "I was supposed to kill everyone who crossed my path, back then. You're one of the few I spared..." ~He stepped closer to her and reached up placing a hand on her check gently, first letting his fingers trace her cheek and then finally glide through her hair. His heart was racing and he breathed slowly, having never been so close to her before.~
"I do feel something for you...I have for a while." ~He said gently. Then continued~" But I was not going to do anything to hurt my friend Jaden." ~He added.~

~He then smirked~ "Well we do make a great team, and it's true, I do possess a lot of power...sometimes too much." ~His expression then darkened a bit and he looked deeply into her eyes as he slid an arm around her waist. "But I must warn you that getting involved with me can be dangerous." He said in a more firm tone. "My animagus is dangerous, and I still can't control it even as strong as I am. And I don't want something to happen where you get hurt. So..." He took a step back from her. "So, I just want you to understand the complications that you might face with me." ~There was genuine concern in his voice. He did want her but he also wanted her to stay safe.~

Sky stood there and listened intently to what Fated was saying to her. Chills ran through her body as he reached his hand up to her and touched her cheek softly. He then ran his fingers through her hair and her whole body trembled. She had never been this close to him. His touch was gentle yet she could feel the power he possed.

"I do feel something for you...I have for a while." She heard him say and she smiled at him, her eyes lighting up as his locked softly into hers.

She continued to listen to his soft words about hurting Jaden. She nodded when he spoke of them making a great team. They did make a great team. Both powerful and both fighting for the same side.

He slid her arm around her waste and his expression darkened a bit when he told her about his dangerous animagus form. She had learned about this from the Dark Lord. He had warned her to be careful if Fated started transforming. She looked into his eyes and began to speak to him again.

"Fated, Jaden and I are over. It is true that I did find myself getting close to him but all those feelings vanished as you and I started getting closer. I realized what I should have before, that you are the one I want to be with." She gave him a slight smile and then continued. "I know about your dragon form Fated. I know what happens to you. I am going to be close to you anyway where we have been getting missions assigned to us, so it really doesn't matter if we persue our feelings further. I will be careful and watch you closely for signs of change. Just tell me what I have to do to stay safe and I will obey." Her smile returned to her red lips, this time a little more playful than before.

She took a few steps forward so she was only inches away from him and gently moved her arms around his neck. She looked deeply into his blue eyes and leaned into him, her lips close to his. She could feel his breath on her face.

~He relaxed a bit at her reassuring words of everything she had with Jaden being over and that she wanted to be with him no matter what. It helped him relax even more.~

"I'm just glad you understand and that it doesn't change how you feel about me." He replied with a relieved sigh. And then he watched as she got closer to him and put her arms around his neck. He slid his arms around her waist, his eyes were twinkling with warmth as he looked at her. Then slowly he leaned in and kissed her lips lightly. As he did so, he felt a slight tingle rush through him as well as a flood of emotion that he hadn't felt before.~

~In the back of his mind, he knew that they would have to be careful but in this moment, everything seemed perfect.~

Sky looked longigly into Fated's eyes. "Of coarse that wasn't going to change what I feel about you. The feelings are there. I can't change that, nor do I want to." She knew now that he must be feeling somewhat towards her what she felt towards him. She knew that this may cause a bit of tension amoung the group that had run so closely together for so long, but right now she didn't care. All she wanted at this moment was to be with Fated. She had wanted him for so long and now was their time, alone in the dark forest with no one around them.

Sky's heart raced even faster as Fated's arms slid around her waist. As he leaned in and kissed her she felt a burning passion throughout her whole body. She knew their first kiss, if it ever did happen would be amazing, but she never thought he would make her feel like this. She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck and returned his kiss, first gently and then with passion.

~He kissed her with the same passion enjoying the feel of her warm body cradled in his strong embrace.~

~ But suddenly a hissing noise brought him from their tender moment and he pulled away from Sky and looked up~
~Descending rapidly from above was a very large spider~

"Sky, watch out!" He gasped as he lunged at her and knocked her to the ground just in time as the large beast made an attempt to attack her. He shielded Sky's body with his own and then whipped out his wand to blast the spider but the arachnid knocked it from his hand at the same time as it lifted him up and sent him hurling into a tree~

~His body collided against it with a brutal force and then he rolled about two feet as he hit the ground. He let out a low groan as he lay there,blood trickling from his temple and not even noticing that scales were started to form beneath his eyes and underneath his neck~

He smirked to himself as Sky and Fated walked off. He couldn't blame them really. He hadn't been around and he'd much rather lose her to his best friend than some bloke off the street. He couldn't help but be happy for them...even through all the...whatever it was he was feeling? Malice perhaps? He didn't know for sure.

All he knew at that moment was that he had been left with Kylee. He had seen her before, never paid her much mind though. She seemed to genuinely have an evil side. He looked over at her as Sky and Fated walked away, rolling up his sleeves as he stood there. Nervous habit really. He traced a finger over his Dark Mark as he stepped around her, looking at her closely a moment before he stopped infront of her and put on his trademark smirk. "I suppose Sky told you about me, didn't she?"

So, you’ve been for the cause for a while now? What’s the den like? My father’s been for the dark side for a while now, but never ventured to take me there. Maybe you know him, Christian Kingsbury?”

"That I have. Few years now. Good for nothing Order." He frowned, thinking of his brother, bloody traitor he was. "Nothing too special really, the den. I'll take you there if you want." He knelt down infront of her, green eyes locking onto hers, little emotion shown behind them. "Name sounds familiar." He thought a moment, crinkling up his nose. Something didn't seem right, but he didn't quite know what. He shrugged to himself. No matter.

"Why wouldn't he take you to the den?" He brushed a few greying hairs from his eyes, quirking a brow at her.

Sky continued kissing Fated and then he pulled away suddenly as a hissing sound could be heard. Before she knew what was going on she was being knocked to the ground by Fated and he was sheilding her body with his own. She reached quickly into her robes and drew out her wand.

Everything was happening so quickly. The next thing she saw was the large spider knocking Fated's wand out of his hand. She had to act and quickly.

She watched as the Spider threw Fated into a tree hard. She couldn't waste anymore time. She stood up quickly and pointed her wand at the spider and screamed, "AVADA KEDAVRA" She watched as a jet of green light shot out of her wand and the killing curse hit the spider. The spider collapsed on the ground.

Sky ran to Fated. She saw that he was bleeding from his temple. She pointed her wand at his wound and quietly uttered "evenesco" causing the blood on his temple to vanish. She then uttered "sealius" and his wound was completely sealed off and healed. As she looked closer at him she noticed the scales that were forming around his eyes and neck. She took a step back. She didn't know what to do when he got like this. All she knew was that she had to be careful. She didn't want to leave him alone like this but she had to get help, someone that would know what to do. She leanen in close to him and whispered to him, "Your dragon form is starting, I need to know what to do?" She asked with worry in her voice.

Traci came out of all the spells still crying "screw you people" she shouted and ran but then ran into the tree and was knocked out cold once again but not before muttering a quit "bloody trees"

~Fated's wounds healed with Sky's help but as he tried to push himself up off the ground, he felt a pounding in his head. He also could feel that fluttering stirring feeling in him and realized what was happening. He looked down at his arms where small scales were forming and overlapping one by one. A panicked look appeared on his face and his eyes widened~ "Not again...not now. I can't control this..." He muttered. He knew that though part of his will was to bring the dragon forth, he couldn't control it and so he shot a pleading look to Sky.~ "This...is what I was telling you about...what I was afraid of happening..." His words were cut off by a low growl, his form beginning to distort and grow larger. He could feel horns beginning to cut through the top of his head.~

"Sky..." He mumbled. "Help me.. You have to stun me or put me to sleep before I lose complete control..."

Sky watched as Fated quickly started to change into his dragon form. She knew about this condition he had as she had been warned but she never dreamed it would be happening so quickly after they had just talked about it. Her heard pounded with fear, she had no clue what to do. She heard his pleads and whispers and he told her she would have to stun him or put him to sleep. "Wha..." She started to speak but she had to focus on what was going on. She quickly pointed her wand at him and spoke in a chant like tone focusing all of her energy and power on what she needed to do.

"Sleep shall come to thee
A dreamless sleep envelops you
Silent as the grave
Sleep shall come to thee
Awaken not before
rest has restored you"

She repeated the chant over and over, putting all her energy into making it work. She would do all she could to help him without having to hurt him. That was the last thing she wanted to do. She waited and watched and continued chanting. She would keep trying until that worked or she had to use a different method.
