Sirius breaths in deeply as he over looked the forest below him thinking if it would feel any different if he walked threw it a free man. Then he morphs into his black dog form and began down towards the town.
About an hour or so later he began his way back through the woods when the dementors spotted him. He quickly began racing for his cave, just another mile. He ran through a stream then made a sharp turn as one came at him, then another and another, then he didn't know what direction to go in. He could feel them taking his life force as he began to get tired and collapsed on a large rock by the water fall and changed back into human form. Then suddenly they began to leave, their screams echoing off the rocks. The last thing he saw was someone standing on a higher rock looking down at him.
Sirius later woke in a cave. He could hear the water crashing against the rocks as he regained continuousness. He looked around still laying down under the wool blanket that covered him from the abdomen down. Then he looked over and saw her sitting there, calm on the other side of the fire. On the fire was a pan, in it some sort of meat was simmering and it filled his nose with the most wonderful smell.
"You're finally awake." She says looking over to him, "You're Sirius Black aren't you?"
Sirius nods as he began to sit up.
"I thought so. I saw some pictures of you in the last town I passed through." She tells him, "I'm Maxine Lasher, you can call me Max." She tells him, taking the pan off the fire and setting it on the rock next to her as she began to fix two plates.
"How did you get rid of the dementors? You have no wand." Sirius asks, "Not that I'm not grateful, I' am." He tells her.
"I have a wand; I just don't use it much. The dementors are scared of me." She tells him.
"I don't think I understand." He tells her.
"I'm of demon descendant." Maxine tells him, "A dementor is no match for a shadow demon even against one such as me."
Sirius sat there for a moment thinking about what she had just said.
"I thought our world is-"
"Separate, yes, it is but I can jump from realm to realm as I please." Max tells him, handing him a plate and a fork, "My mother was a half breed of Wiccan and demon, my father was a pure blood." She explains to him.
"Thank you Max." Sirius tells her accepting the plate. "I probably shouldn't ask, but what is this?"
"Rabbit." Maxine answers blowing on her meat.
Among the meat there were some pork and beans, and carrots.
It was the most Sirius has had in one sitting in a long time. He tried to eat calmly but decided it would be okay since she herself ate fast.
Maxine was a dark haired girl with dark brown eyes to match, and had a smooth even tan. She had brushed her bangs back out of her face to eat. Sirius could see her unusually sharp k9 teeth similar to a vampire but not as sharp looking, possibly her demonic heritage. She was dressed in a pair of loose fitting black pants that rose up over her ankles as she sat in Indian style, and wore a black semi loose fit shirt that fell around one shoulder. S he wore black boots and her hair back in a braid. Sirius wondered why she was on her own; she looked very young, but might have been older than she appeared also due to her demonic heritage. She also had many tattoos. One above her left eye just above the temple, and had one on her right ankle that looked like a chain. Just below her right eye in the corner was a small star, on her right ear lobe was a small black heart, and on her right elbow was a spider web. Among the tattoos she also had her eye brows pierced, the left one twice and the other one once.
Sirius was dressed in some cloths he had stolen. What were once black were now grayish colored pants, and a white shirt that was now stained and dirty. His shoes were stolen as well. He hadn't bathed in a while, nor has he washed his cloths, or completely brushed his hair that had grown down past his shoulders. By the time they finished the meal he began to wonder if he stunk.
"What are you doing out all by yourself? Are you traveling?" Sirius asks her as she took his plate.
"No, I'm just wondering. I enjoy being alone, my own sense of freedom I guess." She tells him. "I'm going into the town to get a place to stay your welcome to join me if you want."
Sirius thought for a moment but smiles at her in agreement. Even though he was a wanted man he still had his dog form that came in hands when he traveled in the towns, and now he didn't have to worry about the dementors as long as he stayed near her, but that wasn't the complete reason why he was going with her.
She had invited him so what was the harm in that? And he thought it would be nice for her to have a companion.
He rolled up her wool blanket and stuffed it into the sack that clipped into her book bag but he insisted that he carry it until they reached the town where he would turn into his dog form and she would only have to pay for one person stay than two.
