SUE, YADA, YADA, YDADA. Yea QeM
Nukpana walked down the dark hallway. She felt as though she was being followed and started to become wary. At first she figured it was Arelen trying to play a joke on her, but when she turned around quickly no one was there. Her eyes darted around the dark hallway looking for some sign of someone having been there, or an area where someone could have ducked. Not much but a wall, and even that wasn't big enough to hide someone. There was nowhere to veil yourself, and she was far into the hallway by now. Just as she was about to turn and run the rest of the hallway, she felt something wrapping up her leg. She let out a sigh, she knew who it had to be.
"Elennar! I swear if you ever do that again you'll be a bald cat instead of a furry one!" She scolded her kitten, who blinked at her as if to say 'so?'
"First of all, the only thing I did was follow you. Second, why should it matter, you told me I could if it were at night. Oh, and where's my fish?" He asked quietly.
"Oh yea," she had almost forgotten. She reached in her pocket and pulled out two pieces of wrap. "It's covered, are you going to be able to unwrap it?"
"Yes," Elennar snapped with a quick flick of his tail and a hungry, greedy look at the fish in Nukpana's hands.
"Then be nice to me and don't try to eat Arelen again, OK?" She looked at him sternly as she bent to put the fish down, but didn't yet.
"Sure thing! The last time was an accident, and plus, I've learned from last year, I know not to go after birds anymore." He jumped and snatched one piece from her hand, holding it to the floor with one paw and using the other paw as a type of tool he mumbled to Nukpana, "Please put the snother bune tin cure pocket?"
"What?" Arelen walked into the corridor. "I thought you said you weren't bringing him?" She eyed the kitten warily and inched around him, "You're awesome, you are, but you tried to eat me the last time you came out with us." She gave Elennar a final look as she turned to her friend. "Hullo."
"Where'd you come from?" Nukpana walked over to the dead end of the hallway. "There's absolutely nothing in this hallway, and I know you weren't down here, I would have smelled you first. Which brings me to another point, are you wearing perfume? You know it makes my eyes water." She blinked a couple of times, "And hullo to you too."
"Ravenclaw commons, no and what about Nari?" Arelen answered the quick question with ease.
"Oh, he promised not to try to eat you this time, plus, he shouldn't be hungry. He's eating fish right now. Two right big chunks for him," she pointed at the fish Elennar was commencing in showing the insides of. Both girls let out a slight "ick" noise.
"Mfarg jldoung, brdnong" Elennar spoke with his mouth full.
"Nari! Don't talk with your mouthful, how many times have I told you!" Nukpana rolled her eyes then bent and stroked his back, from head to tail. Elennar swallowed.
"What I said was, I'm going to go back to the Gryffindor place and I'll wait outside the door for you." Elennar nodded and grabbed the fish with his teeth and stalked away, then turned around quietly and came back. "An tur otter om." He looked at Nukpana who blinked at him. He spit the half eaten fish out and tried again, "And the other one."
"Oh, right," Nukpana smiled as she placed it on the ground and Elennar picked both up to trot away with his tail in the air.
"Right fine catch he was," Arelen smiled at the disappearing cat, "And to think the owner didn't even know that he spoke!"
"Yep, he's really alright isn't he?" Nukpana turned and Arelen nodded.
"Now let's go, I'm really itching to fly!" she smiled at Nukpana and began walking down the hall.
The two girls walked slowly together at first, then Arelen broke into a run, tapping Nukpana playfully on the shoulder, "TAG!" Nukpana took off after her yelling, "Not fair! You took me by surprise." She lost track of Arelen as she turned a corner in the hallway, and when she eventually turned the corner also, no one was there. Slowly Nukpana looked around the room, her cat's eyes working fine in the dark. She knew there was something wrong, there was a wing on the floor, Arelen had already shifted and flown out the window to Nukpana's left. Nukpana took her lead and shifted into her white tigress form. In front of her green eyes she saw something glinting in the corner of the room. This was a red eye. She stopped cold. Arelen came back to the window squeaking and squawking and basically calling Nukpana all sorts of bird names that are unspeakable on human tongue. Nukpana turned to the eye, which had now multiplied. Suddenly a large paw came through the wall, the creature had apparently hidden in it. She glanced at Arelen, she could tell the creature was bigger than her and to try to run or fight would be ludicrous. She stood her ground and Arelen came to perch on an unlit lamp next to the large tiger. Now two paws, a torso, and it seemed to look like wings coming through. Arelen gave a little chirp of uneasiness but stayed where she was. Eventually the creature was all the way through the wall. It straightened to its full height and it dawned on the girls, they were in the presence of a dragon. Not a large one, it probably was only a teenager, but just the same, it was dangerous. The dragon was a dark green color with sharp teeth and iridescent wings. It had two black horn-like appendages growing from its head and a spear shape at the end of his tail, which lay rather limply on the ground. Arelen, none-the-less raised her talons for an attack and Nukpana let out her nails and brought a massive paw up, snarling. The dragon seemed to look from one to the other then backed off towards the corner of the dead end.
It caught the girls off-guard so Arelen lowered her talons and Nukpana took a step forward. The girls stayed in their animal forms, they didn't feel as though they were in danger anymore, but for precautions sake. The dragon, on the other hand, decided not to. It's light green scales started to fade. The eyes became pleading and white, instead of cold and red. Its wings began to crack and they saw the pain in the forming human face. The wings folded into the back as a wave of fleshy color swept over the dragon from the top of his head, to the tips of his toes. It's nails clicked and clacked as it fell to all fours and stared at the ground. The two watched as the dragon became a full human again. They were amazed. His clothes were damp looking and he was holding his head as though he'd just been whacked by a bludger. They couldn't quite tell who it was, as he leaned back against the wall for support.
"I told you I knew." The voice was so familiar it shocked both girls as they returned to human form and stood staring in disbelief. It was the voice of someone they knew. Arelen looked at Nukpana who blinked at her, mouth slightly agape.
"Draco?" Nukpana whispered.
Yes, this chapter is very short, I admit it. I wrote it during a summer session of web page design. Boring! Makes a face, well, I hope you liked it, I do. I think it's fun nsnuff. yea, well, class gets out in, like, thirty minutes so I had best be going and making it look as if I did SOMETHING to my obviously finished sight. Much luv and warmth to the Mysterious Mish! QeM
