Kayla laid on her bed, unable to sleep. It was past midnight and she was wide awake. She didn't know why she couldn't sleep, she had actually been up pretty early that morning. Then again she had had alot on her mind recently. She had been thinking about her mother and father and how much she missed them, she had also been thinking about how she was going to get her brother back. Ever since he had found out she was a witch he had hated her. Kayla put it down to jealousy, but he had made her life hell at home. Constantly beating her as if it was her fault that she was a witch. He even tried to have her killed by hiring a vampire to drain her. That was how she got the scar on her neck. And then there was Liam. She hadn't known him long but she really liked him. Kayla just assumed it was because he is hot and had not tried to bed her yet like all the other guys she had met. Still, she just kept telling herself it was nothing more than a crush that would soon fizzle away.

With a sigh, Kayla pushed herself off of her bed and walked over to her wardrobe. She quickly pulled on a casual outfit, but she made sure it hugged her curves. Kayla never wore anything baggy, unless it was her uniform. That she had no choice on. Now fully clothed, Kayla fluffed her hair slightly, stuck her wand in her belt and left her dorm room. When she got to the common room it was empty. Well duh of course it would be, everyone was most likely in bed, since it was getting on for 1 o'clock in the morning. Kayla walked quietly out of the common room and down the corridor. She made sure there was no one around to get her caught. She really needed to be outside right now. She felt like she was trapped in a prison at the moment.

It wasn't long before she was out of the school and heading far away from it. The further away from school she was, the more free she felt. Kayla walked briskly until she reached the Willow. However Kayla didn't get to close. She didn't feel like getting squashed to death like that. A horrible way to go. "Finally, I can relax." Said Kayla to herself. She sat down on the cool grass and laid back, looking up at the stars. A small smile appeared on her face as she got comfortable, random thoughts swimming in her head.

[Liam Skylark]

Once again, Liam had been out on his usual rounds outside of the school, this time failing to run into Mikayla in the forest. However, that would not stop him from continuing his job, which was to make sure any students weren't hanging about. To top his troubles, he had heard Kayla had been depressed from Mikayla, which he understood why. Mikayla neglected or refrained from telling Kayla what the reason was for him dating Mikayla- and he wanted a chance to settle this matter.

By a stroke of luck, he saw someone sitting near a giant, threatening-looking tree. As he went closer, he found it was Kayla and smiled, walking up from behind her and sitting next to her. "Who'd have thought I'd have seen you here of all places?" he asked rhetorically and playfully, hoping to make some form of conversation. This was convenient- he'd be able to explain the scenario between himself and Mikayla, if anything, to give his best friend peace of mind.

The whomping willow was a very dangerous tree. However Kayla made sure she was not within smushing distance of it. She was not suicidal, no matter how depressed she was, Kayla could never attempt to kill herself. How would that help her anyway. She also believed that if she could move on, or atleast deal with all the crap going on in her family life, then she could deal with pretty much anything, but it was getting harder and harder to deal with. Especially when she wasn't sure if she had anyone to confide in. Sure she could talk to Liam, but then that would mean she would most likely have to admit that she has a major crush on him that has shown no signs on fizzing out. Plus he had told her she was his best friend so she knew he did not feel the same way about her. That was the only reason why she had not told him that she really likes him, aswell as him being in a relationship.

Kayla sighed, in a frustrated manner as she tried to figure out what the hell he saw in Mikayla. She was a cold hearted bitch who only seemed to look out for herself. Ever since Mikayla and Liam had become a couple, Mikayla took every opportunity she had to rub it in Kayla's face. Kayla seriously wanted to just let loose on her, but that would hurt Liam, so she would need to keep it all bottled up, like she usually did. She was beginning to feel like a time bomb waiting to go off. Getting a little uncomfortable, Kayla sat up, her knees to her chest as she took her gaze from the night sky to the tree. It wasn't long until a familiar male voice filled her ears. Kayla looked over her shoulder and smiled, a small smile at his playful remark. "Yes, well I like being unpredictable." Said Kayla in also a playful manner, however it was true. You never really knew what Kayla was thinking unless she told you. Kayla gave Liam a playful nudge as she smiled and rested her chin on her knees.

It was strange how every time she thought about Liam he would turn up, then again she was always thinking about him. Kayla sighed slightly before looking back at Liam again, with a soft smile. "So, I've noticed quite recently that your not wearing your bandages as much anymore. That's good." Said Kayla randomly with the soft smile still plastered on her face. She was trying to stop herself from either breaking down in tears, again, or telling him how she felt. She wanted to tell him, but she knew she would not get the answer she wanted. So Kayla kept her lips firmly shut with a fake half happy smile on her face.

[Sarina Darkwood]

Sarina knew the Shrieking Shack well by now. While most people shied away from it, in her third year at Hogwarts she had seen the place and thought it enchanting. While many girls seemed to dream of Cinderella castles, Sarina was more interested in haunted mansions and spookier places. She thought of them in a way most girls would describe romantic, but since Sarina didn’t believe in love, she could hardly describe it as that. It had a mood about it that attracted her and when she first saw it with her sister, Sarina led the way into the scary place. They hadn’t dreamed of what they found there. What a mess the place was! There was torn up furniture and scratches on the walls. It looked as if an animal had been living there and for all they knew, maybe one had. It was a dream come true when they found the passage leading to just under the Whomping Willow on Hogwarts’ grounds. The two were delighted and knew they would be using this passage quite a bit in the next few years.

When ‘Zelle died, Sarina was saddened to go to the Shrieking Shack. This had been her first visit in a long time and it had raised a lot of pent up emotion. She had thrown a fit, using her wand to wreck the room, hitting things and yelling. She vented her anger and sadness in a weak retaliation against the walls which seemed to hold too many memories. She ended up falling asleep on a broken mattress with stuffing falling out and visible springs. Waking up, she felt weak and couldn’t remember much. As she sat up, everything came rushing back to her and a new wave of emotion hit her. Grumbling, she got up and started walking through the passage to the grounds, preparing her wand to immobilize the Willow so she could get out safely. As she neared the exit, however, she heard voices. Making sure no one could see her, she peaked her head around to see Kayla Sommers and Liam Skylark.

Kayla was annoying by herself but together with Liam… Well, it didn’t sound good for either one. Liam was too much of an authoritative figure for Sarina to like in the first place. Her dislike for him was self-explanatory. That, and the fact that Mikayla seemed to be crushing a little on him, which Sarina discouraged wholeheartedly, made him a less than desirable presence. She would only get hurt in the end and Sarina didn’t want to see that. Mikayla was getting too attached to her “pretend lover.” Kayla was a whole other, but even more terrible, story. Just the fact that Mikayla hated Kayla was enough to not like her, but for her to be trying to take Liam away as well? The whore! Kayla and Sarina had had a couple scuffles of their own, and she had made her opinion clear – Kayla was a bitch in Sarina’s eyes.

But the question was, what were the two of them doing out here, by the Whomping Willow of all places? She eyed them attentively, her wand gripped firmly in her hand, concealed by the shadows of the Whomping Willow and hidden by the entrance to the passage.

[Liam Skylark]

Having made his presence known to Kayla, Liam was a little reassured by her comment about enjoying being unpredictable. He then began to think what would happen after he told her the truth about him and Mikayla: how it is more or less an experiment? Lately, he felt odd even by the mention of Kayla Sommers's name. He felt the same odd sensation at the lake, and it had always troubled him. If he had one thing to learn from 'dating' Mikayla, it was that he now recognized what he was feeling.

Whatever Mikayla had for him, Liam had for Kayla. As odd as it was, it reminded him of a romance-novel Mila had lent him once. But now he began to wonder- what would happen if Kayla were to know his feelings? What would happen if she took it the wrong way? So many questions, yet he could never find an answer on his own. He was then called out on the fact that he wasn't wearing his bandages as often, his cheeks flushing a little. "Well...I do have you to thank for that." he replied honestly. He then noted the half-happy smile, but what he did realize was that it was fake.

He only recognized it because he used to fake his smiles all the time when he and his sister were home- the rare times where Liam had not actively hid his face before he began working at Hogwarts. Unlike most times where he wanted to know something, he stopped to think about this one. He had been told he had to work on something called 'tact', as he had often been blunt with his words. "Are you alright?" he asked, figuring it was the most indirect way of asking about her smile.

Taking a deep breath, Kayla prepared herself to pretend to be happy and like nothing was bothering her. She hated feeling vulnerable and weak in front of people. Especially men, men that she really liked, like Liam. But sadly he was taken and Kayla had given up trying to win him over. Mikayla had won and he appeared to be happy, she didn't want to spoil that for him. If he was happy with Mikayla then that was something she was going to have to live with. Looking up at him, she gave him a look that said everything was ok, except her eyes which would give her away. Kayla hoped he wouldn't notice, but they were best friends. He knew her better than anyone so he probably would pick up on that.

Brushing a strand of blonde hair out of her face, Kayla stood up. Kayla glanced at the Willow to make sure they were a safe distance away from it. To be honest, that tree did scare her slightly. It was the first tree she had come across that could kill her, who wouldn't be scared of it. The tree was not prejudice or judgmental. Whoever got close it smushed. Simple really. When Liam spoke she looked back to him and smiled half heartedly. "I didn't really do anything. I just said you didn't need to wear them. You look better with them off." Said Kayla honestly. When Liam first showed her his face, she was surprised that he honestly thought he needed to wear them. Liam was extremely good looking, even with the scar. the scar infact did not bother her, she quite liked it. Hell she had a scar of her own to, so who was she to judge about imperfections.

When she heard Liam ask her if she was alright she smirked and shook her head slightly. "You don't miss anything do you?"Said Kayla with a slight laugh. She only laughed because she knew Liam was going to pick up on her fake smile. She supposed it was good to have a friend who knew you so well. Kayla walked past Liam and leaned against a huge rock that was a few feet away from the tree. She was slightly closer to the tree but not within reach of it. However that didn't stop the tree from trying to take a swipe at her. The branch swung back and then slammed hard on the ground a few feet away from her. Kayla looked at the tree with a brow risen before turning back to Liam and shrugging slightly. "I guess........I don't know." Replied Kayla. Part of her wanted to tell him, but she was also afraid to tell him. Ugh why did she have to let herself like him, then again you couldn't choose who you were going to like could you.
