HI! Sorry, I uploaded a post but I forgot to add it to the story!! –Doh!- Anyway, I got a chance to alter it a bit.
Okayness... what's this room?! They will never find out but you can figure out what it does...
Post 59
My eyes fluttered open. I lifted myself from the ground a little to take in what was around me. It looked like paradise. The sky was a pastel of colour with magical pink and green auroras darting and carving its way across the sky.
A thought fluttered into my mind like a stray butterfly. Was I dead?
All around me, the ground was filled with flowers bending gently in the wind and the lushest green grass that I've ever seen. I blinked a couple of times to make what I was seeing was real. A short gush of cool air blew across my face, catching at my hair, pulling back.
The field of flowers faded away into what seemed like mist that covered like a perfect circle around me a distance away. Chains of waterfalls in steps were all around us, coming from steep cliffs. The water that plunged was unusually mesmerizing and rather serene to watch.
All around me, floating at its own leisure, were tiny balls of light... like sparkles that seem to have a life of its own. I looked all around me.
Where was I? Where was Sirius?
I couldn't possibly be in the castle anymore... could I? As I got to my feet, another rush of wind blew past me carrying with it the little balls of light and flower petals.
I turned around on my feet looking for any sign of life. A tinge of fear stabbed at my heart. What if I never find a way to get back out? What if I had to stay here forever? I took out my wand... just in case.
I wondered around, the wind was unusually cool against my cheek and it changed directions so often and suddenly.
And suddenly I saw a dark patch... contrasting with the lush green grass and pastel coloured flowers. My heart tugged against my chest sharply as fear pierced it. I rushed towards it, dreading what I might find. My breath got caught in my chest as I stared at the lifeless body of Sirius Black. My legs buckled under me and I fell to the ground next to him.
He was lying on his back, his head was tilted to one side, his legs were apart, one of them bent. I stared at his motionless body in confusion... what could have happened? My mind was a blank, my eyes darted blindly across his body, hoping to see some form of motion... a twitch of a finger, or a nudge of his arm... nothing.
His heart... it wasn't beating... no familiar dull thump when I pressed my ear to his chest... nothing... just empty silence...
I turned his face towards me. His eyes were simply closed. I leant towards him hoping to hear any faint form of breathing... again, nothing. My heart starting racing like a speeding train. No... no... it couldn't be... why... why did this have to happen! Why did he have to come into this wretched place...
Now he was gone forever...
He can't...
Not now...
It's too early...
I suddenly felt the greatest pain that I've ever felt in my entire life... worse than any physical pain or any emotional pain put together. It scratched at my heart like razor sharp claws and ripped it to pieces... that was the pain I felt.
I looped my arm under his head and hugged it close to me. Hot tears burst through my eyelids and I let out a tortured wail to the world...
"Don't go..." I muttered bitterly, my words coming out in choking sobs as though it would do any good. "Don't... leave me... please! Not... yet... Please come... back..."
Then I heard the soft tapping of footsteps. I ignored them... if the murderer had come to kill me next, that'll be a blessing.
"Reine?"
I jumped. That voice. I whipped around sharply.
There he was... standing before me... with a worried look plastered over his face. My mind wheeled. No, but... it was impossible...
"S-Sirius?" I asked, furrowing my eyebrows weakly.
"Why... why are you crying?" He asked, squatting.
Without a single thought, I flung my arms around his neck and hugged him tightly like I've never did before. I didn't even spare a thought to the dead body that was on my lap a second before. All that mattered was him.
He almost overbalanced on his feet when I hugged him and he flopped down onto the grass, stroking my back as I laid my head on his shoulder.
There was never a time I felt more thankful he was there, he was mine. I savoured the feel of his warmth against my body, unlike the icy coldness before, his familiar scent floating back into my nostrils.
"Why are you crying?" He asked again.
"I thought... I thought I'd... lost you forever..." I choked.
"But I'm right here, baby..."
"I saw you! You were... dead! Right there... on the grass..." I turned, and pointed to the exact patch of grass his body had laid on... so stiff and cold. But there was nothing there. Even the grass there seemed undisturbed. It all seemed impossible... but I remembered it vividly... I remembered the pain that had struck my heart like nothing ever before. "...there... dead..."
"Reine, I saw nothing there..."
"I was sure! You were lying there... motionless... dead!" I muttered weakly as fresh tears clouded my eyes again.
He pulled me towards him. I laid my head against his chest, unable to stop the flow of tears, unable to recover through what I had just experienced.
"Shhh... I'm here, now," he cooed warmly, cradling me in his arms where I began to feel calm again... the shock and fear faded away.
"I was... so scared... I thought I had lost you forever..."
"You really saw me... dead?"
I nodded. "It was the worse feeling ever..."
"It's over now... and I'm here..."
"Why was it there... was it an illusion of some sort?"
"I don't know... I don't know where we are... or what this place does."
"Any idea how to get out?" I asked.
"Nope," he replied calmly, digging his hands into his pockets.
How can he feel as if nothing's wrong? As though this was a ride that will end soon. I was thinking of the worst. Whatever this fantasy place might be, real or not, I wouldn't want to stay here forever.
"We have to find a way then!" I said.
"How?"
"I don't know... some way," I replied. "We got in, there must be a way to get out..."
"Right..."
But I was completely lost. Where do I start? What should I do? There doesn't seem to be a path out of the field. Nothing seemed to be happening. Nothing came along. The waterfalls continued flowing, the auroras continued its stellar journey across the heavens, the sparkling balls of light continued drifting dreamily and the flowers continued to bend gently in the wind.
"What if we never get out of here?" I moaned mournfully.
"We will..."
"How would you know?"
Sirius shrugged. "Someone will notice we're missing and come look for us... either that or someone else will fall through. Or we can always start a new civilization right here!"
"Sirius..." I wailed begging him to be a bit more like his name...serious.
And then suddenly the whole world faded away. The wind stopped dead and the sound of rushing water ended abruptly. We were now standing on a blood red carpet along a dark corridor. The surrounding waterfalls faded away to be replaced by wooden walls.
