Relaxing at the lake cont.

[Brendan Makintyre]

Brendan walked in to the shallows of the forest with Allure. Just a few metres away from them was pure darkness. You could hear calls of cretures and the chirping of birds. Bredan was used to it. He sometimes came here for an escape from everyone. He often climbed this tree by the lake and watched the sunset by himself. The tree was a fare way into the forest and it sat on the edge of the lake's bank.

"We can go to this tree, if you like? I sometimes go there and it's not that far from here." He smiled.

He pulled out his wand from his belt.

"Lumos." He muttered.

A brilliant light came out of the tip of his wand and lit the area around them.

[Allure De'Long]

She didn't answer rigth away she was walking ahead a bit looking around. She muttered the same spell and her wand lit up as well. She smiled. "this place is so..serene..and yet its dangerouse and that seems so hard to believe, btu so does being a whitch" She smiled turning around. "Sure, thats fine" she said reffering to his Tree questions. She jumped suddenly started by the sudden movement of somthing small on the groud and she saw somthing rush off to anotehr bush./ "Probley should get out of sight of the school" She said walking farther ahead. she was so adventrouse at times. though being ahead soon wasn't the best idea for her. As she saw somthing far in the distance go through. whatever it was she didn't know but it freaked her out and she returned to Brendans side. "I hate being scared of somthing yet so intrested in it that i have to go through with it" She said quietly.

of course she was very happy to come in here, btu it still freaked her out.

[Brendan Makintyre]

Brendan smiled at Allure.

"I agree. Come with me and I shall show you this tree. You can't see the castle from there either. Oh and - erm - watch out for the security beasts the place around here. They try and stop people like us from entering." He laughed, walking into the dark forest.

[Allure De'Long]

She smiled and followed him closly while looking around. She spotted many animals. And she heard a couple of them following which was the reason she continuously looked back. "this place doesn't seem very dangerous any mroe' She said quietly and smiled. But the smile dissapeared the moment she tripped over an unseen log and fell flat down on her face. "uuhhhggg" She said, muffled by the ground and got up. When she did she was covered in so much debris, but she was laughing quietly. She looked at her sweater, which was white, and completly stained with green and brown and was a bit wet. "d**n.." She muttered. 'oh well" She said wping the dirt off her face and picking the stuff she could see out of her hair. She stood up using a tree for a support. "well now your not the only one with mud.." She said quitly. She saw her wands light opff in the bush and just left to go get it. She picked it up and when she stood up straight a cenatar was right infront of her and she screamed backing into a tree. "oh..my..god" She panted still trying to recover. It just watched her, with a glare, they weren't suppose to be there of cours.e but it wasn't going to hurt them. It just looked more annoyed.

[Brendan Makintyre]

Brendan didn't notice that Allure had fallen over untill she something but before he could ask if she was alright she was gone. He looked around him and saw nothing but the light of Allure's wand. He walked over and found her pinned to a tree by a centaur.

"Leave her alone!" He shouted at the centaur.

The centaur turned around and snorted at Brendan. There was a look of rage and disgust on his face. Brendan stood there his wand still up high in his and and his other hand was clenched by his side. He just stared into the centaur's eyes with blank expression.

"How dare you speak to me like that." The centaur said with rage.

The centaur reared up at Brendan. Brendan still just stood there, he wasn't going to show that he was afraid of a silly centaur like this one.

In the distance, he heard few sticks crack and he felt the earth being beaten hardly. In monents another centaur came and reared at the other one.

"Leave the foals alone. We can't hurt them." He said deeply.

The second centaur looked old and like a leader. He was going grey in some places on his coat. The first centaur snorted and trotted away, the other, just stare at them both.

"I - I - I think it's time to leave Allure." He said boldly.

Brendan walked over to Allure, took her hand and started to back away.

[Allure De'Long]

She watched quietly. She still was hodlign onto Brendans hand but she wasn't moving. She was looking in the background at all the tiny glints of ligth here and then. 'whats that" She asked quietly. Apperently teh cenatar heard her and glanced back, the movement made her jump a bit. But he turned back. She noticed that there was a whole bunch of them just watching.

"Probley one of the worst times to go on a 'midnight stroll'. And probley the least romantic" One just appeared off to the side glareing at the two friends. "Just get rid of em!" One shouted in the back.

"Curiosity" Allure said. "Curiosity?" He replied with a rather large sneer. "you two are both wandering on the path of death, you won't survive here at all" he growled at her. Allure was pressured so bad to ask anotehr question. the 'why not?' question, followed by tons of others. but she caught back on that brendan wanted to drag her out and that she still had his hand for proof. She watched them for a second before turning and following.

"How come this place is so dangerouse?" She asked him. Though her voice quivered. From being cold, frightened, and excited and happy.

[Brendan Makintyre]

"Because beasts like them live here. Oh and don't worry there is things way more dangerous than centaurs." He whispered, still taking hold of Allure's hand but squeezing tighter.

He didn't want the centaurs hearing him just incase one of them took offense and attacked. He stepped back again forcing Allure to step back with him.

"They want us to leave. I think it's the best thing to do, or...... Oh don't worry it's a silly thought." He whispered.

[Allure De'Long]

She smiled slightly. "I DOn't want to go back yet." She whispered back looking behind them. The cenatars weren't following thank god but she was sure they were still back there and could probley see them. She looked back to him. "i'm to riled up anyway.' She smiled slightly. 'Come on, lets just take a different rout like around them then when we get to your tree everything will be ok" She said hoping to persuade him.

he really was somthign.

"plus" She continued to whisper. "We made it this far without them noticing us. but I think the lights and me tripping caught there attention." She suggested.

[Brendan Makintyre]

"Right well we will have to go back and walk along the edge of the lake. Oh and a brief warning, the ground isn't stable so hold onto trees and rocks, or me if you want to." He said, looking down at his hand.

He started to walk backwards and into the shallows of the forest again. The centaurs were nowhere to be seen and he was sure that they would of gone back deep into the forest.

"Nox." He muttered, and the brilliant light slowly died into nothingness.

He noticed that his hand was getting sweaty. It was the hand that was holding Allure's. He let go, wiped the sweat of his hand and said "Sorry 'bout that. I forgot."

The centaurs definitely wouldn't be in the shallows were they now were standing.

"Stupid animals really. Think they know everything, them lot." He said taking a turn.

[Allure De'Long]

She made no comment on what to hold onto she just held onto him. besides, she'd probley run into a tree holding one. She followed and agreed quietly. "yeah" She said quietly. "BUt they probley do know everythign about the forest. they live in it" She said. "But I bet someone culd get on there good sides. " She said quietly. "this is kind of random. but do I seem spacey?" She asked out of the blue

[Brendan Makintyre]

"You not supposed to admit it." He joked

He put his wand back into his belt and started to walk a bit faster.

"What do you mean spacey?" He asked, confused.

They had now come to the shore of the Black Lake. It was, as Brendan said, unstable. He grabbed a tree and started to make his way through the windy trees going slower, just incase anything happened.

[Allure De'Long]

She laughed. "And spacey as in like..I don't know" She ended and chuckled. She just shook her head and continued to walk carefully paying close attention to the ground. "So you stay out here until the sun rises?" She asked grabbing a branch before she slipped. 9Which she caught on before she did) Her grip was rather tight on his hand but she wasn't paying attention to that. "nice place" She added with a smile and looked back into the forest. nothing was following. she saw somthing now and then but she got used to it.

[Brendan Makintyre]

"Nah, untill it sets and then some. Otherwise people might gets suspicious and then they might send out a search party. Well maybe, that's if people love me enough." He laughed.

Brendan concentrated on the ground really hard. Steeping on some earth and giving it a little push before every step. The creatures in the forest didn't really bother Brendan unless he was facing one up close. He could see the tree in the distance. He stopped and pointed at it.

"Look there it is."

It was quite a big oak tree, with many branches and hidey holes. You could see the way Brendan gets up everytime, as it had smaller branches on the trunk leading towards a big thick branch. That is where Brendan would spend some of his free time.

[Allure De'Long]

"thats like the perfect tree" She smiled and chuckled. She tripped a bit being sidetracted by the tree and fell into him but she caught one arm the the branch so all her wait didn't plummet down on him though she immediatly went scarlett and stood back up straight. "Sorry" She said standing on a rock that kept her steady. "It must be nice" She said quietly. "And I'm sure all the girls would be whining say 'oh please Bring him back to me" She said in a high pitched girls mocking voice. "And then one woudl be like 'bring me back my boyfriend!' then all of them would get jelouse and so on and so forth" She laughed.

ooc: ah i must go see ya tomarrow probley

[Brendan Makintyre]

Brendan had a strong physique so he didn't really move when Allure fell on him, actually he didn't move at all.

"It's fine." He smiled.

Brendan started to laugh at Allure's last remarks. He thought they were quite funny, but the truth was he had never brought a girl here. Maybe he should do?

"You reckon? Well it's not much really. I just like it here. You can laze around without anybody disturbing you, it's fantastic!" He said enthusiastically.

He walked over and reached the tree. It was righ on the lakes earthy banks so you still had to be careful. He was stepping on a large sturdy bit of earth and he made sure Allure was stepping on it too.

"Well ladies first." He said, putting his hands in his pockets and waiting for Allure to climb the tree.

It wasn't hard to climb the tree, the minature branches were pretty basic.
