*Elektra's P.O.V.*
I woke up slowly, taking my good, sweet time opening my eyes.
I wish thats how it happened.
"ELLIE!" Someone screamed RIGHT IN MY EAR!
I jumped and almost fell right out of bed. Wait... I thought I was in the forest.
I opened my eyes and was quite nearly blinded by Lily's bright red hair.
"I couldn't sleep all night and when I pass out from exhaustion, THATS when you want to come back! Thats when you want to show up! Thats-" My hand shot up and covered her mouth.
"One-" I wispered, "personal space, Lily. Two-" I sat up and position myself right by her ear and shouted "Shut up!" At the top of my lungs.
She scrambled away and looked at me, shocked. I squinted across my dorm room- Which was apparently where I was- At Alice, who was fighting to keep from exploding from laughter.
"I'm sorry, Lils, for everything." I swung my legs over the side of my bed and stood up, "but you have GOT to learn a better way to wake people up before you get punched in the neck."
Alice couldn't contain herself anymore and fell back on her bed, shaking with laughter.
I smiled and sighed, greatful that it was Saturday.
Lily brushed herself off and grinned, even though I'm pretty sure her heart skipped several beats when I yelled.
I noticed I was still wearing my torn and dirty dress from last night, so I walked over to my dresser and pulled out some pajamas.
"Umm... Ello, you do know it's morning, not night, right?" Lily asked as she watched my pull out my BFF Pj's.
I nodded and begain to change.
"I had a rough night, and I want to do absolutely nothing today." My tummy decided now was a good time to annouce its hunger with a terrorizing grumble.
Alice sat up and said, "Kay, either your hungrey, or the whole other half of Hogwarts just collapsed."
"Haha... I guess breakfast does sound good right now... But I'm still weearing my Pajama-jammers."
Lily giggled and shook her head. "You are something, Elektra."
I rolled my eyes and put my piggie slippers on- they ones that oinked when I walked.
"Are you really gonna wear those?" Alice asked, looking at my piggies with a weird expression.
"Yes." I said, and walked out of the room, heading towards the boys dormatories.
I pushed open the Marauders door, my slippers oink-oink-oinking behind me.
"Rise and shine, little baby-men! I hugrrrryyyyy!" I shouted, standing in the middle of the room, far from slapping distance. But apparently not far enough for throwing.
At the exact same time, 3 pillows can flying at me from different angles.
"Kay, guys, I don't have to be so nice. In fact, I feel like crawling back to bed myself or burning down the school. I haven't decided yet. But I want pancakes and I want my friends to come with me to go get pancakes. Got it? Good." I ran around the room, tearing the comforters off each bed one by one, leaving them cold and shivering.
"UP!" I yelled and then left the room to give them time to change.
Alice and Lily waited outside for me, leaning against the wall. I walked right past them and down the stairs to the common room. I vaulted over the back of the red couch and landed in a perfect sitting position. I sat there waiting for the three Marauders, Lily and Alice.
When they finaly got their butts down stairs, I jumped off the couch and skipped over to them. I grabbed Remuses and Alices hands in mine and waiting until we all linked together. The order went Remus, me, Alice, Sirius, Lily and of coarse James was right next to her. We all walked in a line, turning sideways to exit the common room. Once out in the hallway, Remus leaned over and whispered, "How ya feeling?"
"I don't want to talk about it." I replied, refusing to think of Regulas at the moment. I wasn't ready.
"Thank you for everything yesterday. I think I would have slept outside if you hadn't come by." I half-smiled at him.
"Hey Ellie, theres your Stupid- I mean, just boyfriend." Sirius told me from over Alices head. I gasped as I looked down the hall at Regulas. He was standing with Lucious Malfoy, apparently having a conversation but his eyes never left mine. I gulped and glanced up at moonbug, silently begging him for help. When Regulas started walking our way, he tightned his grip on my hand.
"Ex-boyfriend, Padfoot." Remus shot Sirius a warning look as Regulas got closer. I didn't have time to see anyones reaction to that comment, as Regulas was now directly ahead of me.
"Where did you disapear to last night, love?" He brought his hand up to my cheeck and I jerked away from his touch. "I missed you." I just gave him my death glare.
"Gee, no need to be that way, Ellie. We're good, right?" To answer his question, I cleared my throat, opened my mouth and- spit right, between his eyes.
"Bullseye!" James shouted, doing alittle dance in spot. I smirked and gestured for Remus to keep walking past Regulas as he visiously scraped at his forehead.
"That was gre-"
"Shh!" I shushed Alice.
Ellie, when did-"
"Shh!" I repeated, glancing around the hallway. Aha! I saw a decorative flag ruffle on the wall to the left of us.
I released my friends hands and tip-toed over to it, placing my finger on my lips to keep everyone quiet. After placing myself infront of the ruffle, I proceded to land a shap kick at the flag. A scream came from beneathe the fabric, and Lucious Malfoy stumbled to the floor.
I completely ignored his cries of pain and skipped down the hallway, whistling my favourite violin concerto loudly.
Footsteps pattured behind me, masking Lucious's whimpy noises.
"That was awesome-"
"How did you know-"
"When did he show up-"
"More importantly, guys! What happened with you and Regulas?" Lily had to yell over the competing voices.
"We broke up. It just wasn't working." I answered with a shrug.
"Oh come on!" Sirius was wide eyed and kinda freaking out. It was weird. "Something obviously happened!"
"Look. I don't want to talk about it." I turned to look each of my friends in the eye one by one so they knew I was serious... Or cereal...
The rest of the walk to the Great Hall was silent and awkward, and Sirius kept trying to lighten the mood with stupid jokes until James smacked him in the shoulder.
When we entered the big room, it was like everyone turned to look at us. Well... ME...
I lifted my chin, linking my friends back together in our line of hand holding and confidently (mostly) sat down at Griffindor table. I gathered pancakes onto my plate and poured some pumpkin juice into my cup. The room wasn't as quiet as I had first guessed.
"Did you hear-"
"He broke up with-"
"She wasn't good enough-"
"He was with someone ealse-"
I crumbled on the inside, but kept up a poker face.
A large group of Slytherine girls walked into the room, laughing and pushing eachother around jokingly. I followed them with my eyes over my shoulder as they walked over to the Slytherine table and a short, dark haired guy stood up, whispering in the nearest girl's ear while shooting the occasional glance over at me. The large group exploded with laughter and the strange boy grinned wickedly, meeting my gaze. I snapped, then and there. Picking up my fork and using my werewolf sped and stength to hurl it across the room, it cut into a banner on the wall behind the group of gossipers, causing them to seperate with screams.
"Damn straight, bitches." I pushed myself off the bench and walked out of the room, my slippers making the only noise in the room with a resounding oink that pushed the barriers of the building.
When I was halfway down the corridore outside, heading back to the common room to just sit and read, I had enough of my pig slippers and tore them off. I tossed them against a wall and took off running, probably using a bit more speed then I should have. All the portraits were silent as I passed them, their creepy eyes following me every step of the way.
I mumbled the password at the Griffindore commonroom entrance and swung inside. Thankfully, the room was empty.
I used my full speed to run to my room and grab my book, and then back downstairs. I flopped onto the couch, crossing my legs at my ankles. I flipped through page by page, losing myself in the plot line. I must have dozed off after awhile, because I was soon dreaming.
It was dark, but I could still see from the small amount of light luminating from the barred window. Wait... Barred? Yup, I got that right, because when I took in the rest of my surroundings I realized I was sitting on a cold, concret floor. I was caged in by rusty, iron bars and the paint along the wall was chipped and old. It was kind of like a crappy prison cell from some bad 80's film.
I crawled over to the bars and looked around for a way out, but there was nothing that I could see that would help me. There was a well-used looking door across the room with a cracked and dirty window at the top of it. I strained my neck but couldn't get a clear view of what lay behind it. I had just turned away when a loud shreek filled the room and the door slowly opened and dragged against the floor. Who stepped inside had me scrambling for the opposite side of my make-shift cage.
"Fuego!" I gasped, never seeming to get enough air into my lungs. 'Professor' Fuego walked into the room and over to my bars, wrapping his hands angerly around two of them.
"Good to see you again, Elektra Bell." He chuckled.
