The Bite

Birdy brushed herself off. "Er, sorry, no, I'm not sure EXACTLY where she is, but I DID HEAR her earlier," She paused and hissed, "In the forbidden corridor... but sh! I'm not supposed to tell anyone I've been." She shifted her sweater-covered in front of her body, "By the way..." she rolled up the sleeve to reveal two deep cuts, "Any idea what this is? Woke up with it this mornin' and I haven't a clue..."

Lightning's eyes widened as she looked at Birdy's 'cut'. She gently grabbed Birdy's arm and moved it closer so she could see it. After a few seconds of examining, Lightning rolled the sleeve back down and dropped her arm. "Keep that covered," She said softly. "That's a wer...bite. You should come with me to see Prof. Chateaunoir." Lightning turned away from Birdy and started walking down the hall, hoping she'd follow.

The Strange Man

She woke up in the Headmaster's office. Sliver was watching her carefully and smiled when she opened her eyes. "How are you feeling?" Adara was still too shocked and scared to answer his question. She simply nodded. "I'm sorry it had to happen to you Adara... We didn't want that, but now you know."

"You mean it was real?" the student questioned, eyes fixing Sliver. This time it was the Headmaster's time to nod. But "Shhhh", he said, bringing a finger to his lips. It's between you and the other teachers. The students don't know and they are not supposed to know, unless we really have to tell them. Besides, you've been chosen by the light. You are to help us now... It was decided."

"I don't understand..." Adara whispered.
"Yes you do..." he interrupted. "The answer to your question is "Yes, you are"...
"Which question?"
"The most important one" Sliver smiled and simply vanished. Adara opened her eyes again. It felt like a blink but now she was on the same corridor where she'd been struck by the light. Selkia was next to her, calling her name. What has just happened?

The Feeling

Birdy swore, then mumbled a bit about the soggy oatmeal, "Bloody hell, WHAT?!" She asked as she jogged to keep up with Lightning.

Aylin was still lying in her bed. She had a weird feeling at a moment... As if she could smell something approaching, something powerful. Something that felt her presence as well. She couldn't see anything but she KNEW that something was there. Someone was looking for her. "Do we have any intruders in the castle? I feel someone's presence"

Selena winked. "How can you sense someone's presence, Aylin? Your body is still recovering, so is your mind..."
"I think it's the hat... We have an Animagus among us, in the castle. And not ANY animagus but..." she stopped watching the others carefully.
"I want my hat" she ordered in an attempt to stand up. "And Mel... Your creatures should be brought to Kwadleigh..."
