Where ever I was, I was in this large dark forest, it was cold and rainy. I made my way though the thick brush to a small cave made of an overhanging cliff to get out of the rain. I don't know where I am. I awoke up to find myself in the dirt as my snake form. I slithered through the forest for hours looking for cover. Now that i finally found cover, I was able to transform back into my human form. Before I could settle on making a fire and drying my clothes, i noticed a man in black robes limping through the forest past the cave I was under. I decided to make my way out to him.
"Sir! Sir! Do you need help!? Please it is raining too hard out here to continue. I found a cave not too far."
The man pulls out a stick and points it at me.
"Who- Who are you?!"
"Sir! Please come under the shelter! You seem hurt! It'll be better to wait out the storm!"
"I asked who are you!"
"Sir! We will discuss this under cover!"
I held out my hand to him. I watched him look at me in confusion before he lowered the stick. His body began to sway. Before his body could hit the ground, I shot toward him, grabbing him in mid fall.
"Let's get you out of this rain, Sir."
I helped the poor man under cover and laid him on the ground. I started a fire and removed my outer robe to dry. I turned to the man laying unconscious on the ground. I quietly and quickly removed the man's outer robe as well. Then all I could do was wait for the storm to clear.
An hour or so passed and the rain had yet to stop, when the man stirred.
"Where am I?"
"You are still in the forest. You fell unconscious, so I helped you to cover. How are you feeling?"
"I..I..."
The man hunched over having a coughing fit. Once the fit was over, I helped him move back into a comfortable laying position. I frowned.
"You may be sick Sir."
I felt his forehead to find him burning up.
"You have a fever."
The man glares at me and attempts to move away from my hand. I smirked.
"Well at least you are well enough to show me some of your character. Hm? I suggest you get some sleep. I don't think the rain will stop anytime soon."
Using a cloth from my robe pocket, I wet the cloth with rain water.
One thing I'm known for where I live is my power. I'm a master of fire in all forms, yet I live for the dark, I reign under the light of the moon.
I heated the wet cloth to a warm temperature and laid it gently on the man's forehead. The man sighed in relief.
"Sleep."
And the man closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
I have come to a conclusion that I am not relatively near my home. If I was, this man would have recognized me. He would have feared me. I have been alive for a long time. I have watched people grow and die for centuries. I don't have many friends. Those who are, are like me...immortal. That's right, I'm immortal. If you want a second opinion, ask my sister because so is she. I'm not even referred to as human. I'm known to everyone as a demon. It's why I'm feared.
Another hour passed and the rain began to lighten a bit.
"Who are you?"
I turned to face the man, who was finally awake; fever broken. I smiled at him.
"My frien-many call me Chaos."
I approached the man.
"It's much shorter than my full name...and easier to say. How are you feeling?"
The man watched me warily
"I...feel better."
"How is your leg? You were limping before."
"I will be fine. It was a side effect from a spell."
"A spell? Are you a spell caster?"
The man looked at me in confusion.
"I'm a wizard...yes."
"Ah, wizard, spell caster, same thing.
Then something dawned on me!
"That stick! That was a wand then?"
The man's eyes widened as he searched for his wand.
"What? ...my wand?! What have you done with it?!"
"Calm down. Was it in your outer robe?
I walked over to where I put the robes and fished through the pockets.
"Is this it?"
"Y...Y...Yes."
I hand the wand to him and he gives me another wary look before putting the wand on his person.
"Thank...you."
"No problem Sir."
"My name is Severus."
I smiled.
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
I held out my hand to this man, Severus. That's when he noticed the tribal like tattoos on the back of my hand going up my arm and disappearing under my sleeve, along with my black fingernails. I continued to smile.
"My appearance can be scary sometimes, but I assure you it's mostly just appearance. "
He shook my hand
"Mostly?"
"Mostly."
Severus struggled to sit up.
"I need to get back."
I helped him as he tried to steady himself on his feet.
"Let me help there. You are still weak from the fever."
"No. It's fine. You've done enough."
"It's quite alright. I have nowhere to be."
Severus looks up at me.
"Nowhere to be? Where are you heading?"
I shurged.
"I don't know where I am. I don't live around here."
Severus made a confused face.
"Alright. You can come with me. I can at least give you a place to stay."
"That would be kind of you."
"We will have to visit the Headmaster first."
"Who?"
"The headmaster. I live at the school on the other side of this forest."
"There's a school? *mumbles* Who the hell puts a school at the edge of a dangerous forest."
Severus smirks.
"I have wondered that myself."
I chuckled.
"Well lets get you to this school."
An hour an a half later, we reached the edge of the forest. I laid my eyes on the school.
"That's the school?! Wow it's huge!"
"Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
I nodded approvingly.
"Cool."
