A.R.K Returns

[adonisreneeknox]

A dark shadow walked within the edges of the forest staring up at the large castle that stood before it with walls that reminded him of both home and his imprisonment within the stone. It had been months since the day he left the school. Months since he broke her heart. Months since a mistake caused not only his curse but the death of his only son Dionysus. He couldn’t help but shake off the uneasy feeling he had as he stood just outside the outside of the Willow he had emerged from. He pulled his hood over his face to cover his identity in case anyone was peering out onto him from the castle windows. There wasn’t many light left within the castle…It was past midnight. Most of the residences of the castle were asleep by now, he shook his head. They always did miss the best time for the world around them…He took a slow step out of the woods. He couldn’t help but look behind him at the path that he took to get here…knowing fully well how to get back to the freedom he was leaving. Durmstrang seemed like heaven, he had of course spent year one through four there anyways, but something about Hogwarts called him back.
He walked towards the school. His shoes leaving footprints in the freshly fallen snow…to any who watched a dark shape stepped into the pure snow, tainting it forever. As he approached the large doors of the castle a gust of wind blew the hood back revealing his identity. Thick blonde hair fell across his electric blue eyes…they hadn’t been this blue since he was a child, as of late they always seemed to be that midnight blue. The color of rage, anger and lust…but that was before the change. Before the awakening of something neither wizard nor beast had heard of before. He wasn’t like the others anymore, he had no family or friends or even anyone of the same breed anymore.
It wasn’t meant to happen this way, he should be the ugly beast like the others since the attack…awkward should be his shape when transformed and no beautiful coat should his when he made the change. He was no longer just the son of a pureblood wizard or a veela mother. Nor was he just the reincarnation of Adonis Tempest his great however ever many times grandfather. He had been scratched by a race that should have cursed him with a notable but not quite common disease of Lycanthropy. Instead…his veela blood had reacted with the curse in a way in which the world had not yet heard of. He was the first of his kind…was he going to be the last if he didn’t spread it? Only he could decide if he wanted to begin this new race by making a pack of his new breed. Or, of course he could just let the new breed die with him? He wouldn’t allow that…He was back at Hogwarts for a reason.

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabela's owl just flown into her room, it had been midnight or a little after. She had read her letter she had gotten. She most certainly new what she was getting herself into. She sighed getting up she had kept this from Zeke and she normally told him everything. She was scared to tell him she was going to be back and become evil. She had been friends with Aurors and even the head department person Tony. The one person who had helped Zeke and her get away from him. She had missed her brother a lot and wanted hik back. Thats why she was going back to Azeral. She had pulled her sheets off from her and had gotten up. She went and opened up her closet and changed.

Bellahad on a pair of straight legged jeans, a light baby blue tank top and a blue checkered hoodie to match. She also had on a pair of blue keds. Thankfully being a prefect she didnt have to hide walking the castle at night. She walked out of the Slytherin territory and ranas fast as she could she didn't want to be late. With being a vampire she was able to do that. She had gotten out of the school and a few feet from it. She wasnt paying attention and ran into someone. She had hit them hard and fell. She caught herself with her hands behinde her. "I'm sorry." She said and whispered.

The blue haired girl looked up. Her bangs had fell in front of her face. The boy had been so familiar to the girl. She looked into his eyes and memories came back flooding her mind. She couldn't help but close her own taking a deep breath. She had thought this was all a dream maybe a nightmare. She didn't think she'd ever see him again. Opening her blue eyes fell on him again. It started to snow she remembered the first time tgey had sex in the snow. She didn't know what to say to him. It was just like she had frozen like an ice sculpture.

[adonisreneeknox]

Adonis watched as a petite figure approached him, clearly very distracted by whatever floated within her head. He knew the figure and the way she moved, he didn’t need her to look up to recognize her. In her typical style for their meetings she did the usual Bella thing of running straight into him and with a force that would normally knock anyone else down, but not Adonis. Not anymore, he barely moved and stood more like a statue as she fell down from the impact. He didn’t reach out to stop her fall as he would of the months before he left, he watched as she fell and met her eyes as she caught herself from crashing into the ground. He didn’t reply to her ‘I’m sorry’. He looked through her as she seemed to freeze at the sight of him. Her face showed shock and her eyes showed deeper emotions…her grasping the situation, he mused as he tilted his head to finally look her over. Her hair was different but her eyes and the way she moved confirmed her identity for him. Something….was not right though. He could feel it; something about the girl he once knew was completely and totally strange. Something must have changed her, some event or someone. He
wasn’t sure, and it wasn’t like he really gave a shit…but he did still wonder.

It had been a long time since they’d been near each other and even longer since they’d been lovers. He wondered while he was gone if she ever got over his betrayal? Or of his total turn against her heart? He couldn’t say he loved her… not even when he had tried, had it ever been true. He gave her his all…and that’s all he really had to give. He wasn’t capable of love, though he used the word to
slip all the lovelies underneath him. He let her fantasize and pretend that they would end the world together…but that was all very senseless thoughts on her behalf. She never did question him; she had believed him so easily. He really didn’t understand why she had thought his words were true…she seen the monsters inside of
him.

He ran a hand through his blonde hair as he waited for her to
reanimate and react like someone alive. Was she even alive? The question through him off guard as her scent caught the air…his blue eyes narrowed.

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella hadn't seen him for months not since that night in the forest. She looked up at him for a few minutes. Isabella finally stood up. The impact didn't hurt at all since she had been a vampire and she was basically dead she didn't have a heart and she wished she could feel like she had used to. But, in a way she was glad she didn't. She hated Adonis with a passion and by his narrowing eyes it was like he almost new there was something different about her.

"What are you doing here? You haven't been here for months.... Finally decide to come back around?" She had said and asked crossing her arms. "I mean you do a good job at leaving, and leaving people. " She said rolling her eyes at the last part. Technically it was all her fault why the two broke up she had cheated on him. But, apart of her was glad she had now. "Stupid werewolf." She said and muttered to herself.

"So anyways how are you?" She had asked him. She slipped her hands in her pocket just in case. She had a wand hidden in her pocket and she clentched it just if he had tried to hurt her or something.

[adonisreneeknox]

Adonis watched her as she broke out of her frozen like state and jumped straight into a serious of demanding questions. Normally he would have dismissed anyone who wasn’t his girlfriend from asking him anything personal, but this time he knew the truth would shut her up or at least silence her momentarily. He looked her straight in her blue eyes, eyes that once head so much more emotion then the eyes that met hers now. His voice was like honey and a purr was inches from his lips as he spoke, “Well, Bella Gaunt. If you must know…with my uncle dead and all, someone has to take over Borgin and Burkes so it doesn’t close down from lack of use.” He let the words settle for a moment before continuing his answer of her endless questions. “Believe me if it wasn’t for the death of my dearest uncle, I would have never returned. I found Durmstrang to be the home I once knew in my early school years again and found myself wondering why I ever left it in the first place. As far as leaving Bella, I think we both know who made the choice initially by ‘her’ actions…I only gave you the freedom you must have needed so dearly.”
He took a long look at her again studying her and the way her hand set in her pocket, no doubt closing around a wand like she usually did when she was unsure of a situation. His voice was a bit colder as he continued to speak, “As always Bella, I do warn you that if you even try that…” narrows eyes to her pocket, “you must remember where mine is always located.” He paused to show her the switch blade type contraption that always held his wand against his wrist and ready to go, “However, I’m not here for you or anything to do with you…I’m here because of my own reasons. As to how I have been…just dandy really…you know except for maybe the death of my only son Dionysus…the death of my uncle Zombie, oh and my infliction…which by the way is not like you think it is. But yea…I’m just perfectly peachy…but how about you love, you look perfectly dreadful or should I say dead? Do tell…what have you gotten yourself into?”
Had he ever even cared about her? The answer wasn’t easy for him…he never loved her but maybe he did care? What was caring anyways? The only one that he had ever loved was his own son and with him dead…nothing mattered. Did he care? To an extent he must of…at least to the amount of wanting to possess her as his own…

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella had felt a little bit bad now with what she had said. She had no idea about his Uncle. “I’m sorry to hear about that. I had no idea.” She had told him. She loved his Uncle he had been awesome and helped Isabella with her potions she had gotten better at them and was a pro.. Well almost she had still blown things up on occasions sometimes. It had felt so weird standing in front of the blonde hair boy and seeing him like he was. She had missed the old Adonis the dark haired boy. It was so tempting not to look at his blue tattoo right now that had been across his stomache. She loved that, it was her favorite thing on his body. It shimmered in the light and it was so perfect.

Why had she been thinking about that now? She tried to get her mind off of it. So many memories flooded back. They both were in the snow and she looked over towards the tree where they had first met and sighed a little. She kept a little bit quiet after he had mentioned what she did. Well he didn’t really mentioned what happened just it was her fault basically. She just stayed quiet and rolled her eyes. She hadn’t anything else to say anyways. She knew he had been right and it had been her fault. “I know but, I’m a little faster now.” She had said pulling her wand out and twirling it between her fingers like a baton.

She had gotten a bit distracted for a little. “Trust me I know where you still hide both. It’s not like I’ve forgotten.” She had told him. “I’m not stupid you know?” She had hissed at him rolling her eyes anymore. How could she have been so stupid and fallen in love with him. She should have listened to her brother in the first place. But, it wasn’t something that she had regretted thought. If he had never took thoughs stupid drugs she would have never cheated on him but, it made her a mess at that point and with her brother and everyone telling her that he was no good for her she had screwed up. It was her own fault.

“Why would I want you here for me anyways? Were not boyfriend or girlfriend anymore. I don’t even think were friends for that matter or are we?” She had asked. She didn’t really want to be his friend not after what had happened she didn’t think that she could be as much as she wanted to deep down. But, with her being a vampire she just couldn’t. “Besides I have a boyfriend now anyways, and two kids that are twins that I love very much...” She had told him. She wanted to see his reaction when she had told him she had kids. She listened about his uncle and son and still felt horrible. But, she didn’t really react to much about it she felt awkward she didn’t want to say anything. “Infliction. What kind of infliction would you have?” She had said half laughed and coldly.

Bella’s eyes narrowed at him at the last of his words. The sun had come out more and was shining right above them. Her skin had sparkled on her face the rest of her was covered. Maybe that’s how he had known. She didn’t really realize at. She looked at him in the eyes his bright blue eyes when he had looked at her. “Dead?” She had asked him coldly. “When did this happen?” She asked just jokingly around acting more like a bitch really towards him. “Like its none of your business anyways. I got attacked that’s all. What’s it to you? Why do you suddenly care? I could care less about you right now. I have no heart anyways.” She had explained.

[adonisreneeknox]

Adonis watched the range of emotions pass through her as she spoke. He didn’t care much for her words nor did he let them affect him. Sure, he had figured she would of moved on…he had too in Durmstrang, well that is until his parents pulled him out and put him in Beuxbatons…Poor boy’s parent got the shock of their life when they realized their sweet little son was a gay boy and dating a werewolf. They had hissed at Adonis, saying he was a monster and meant to be dead…he wouldn’t dare curse their son…poor Killian. He really was a beautiful boy…he let his mind wonder as he barely listened to Bella spew words against him an about her new life. So she was a mother now? Not of my kids, the thought interrupted him angrily but he pushed it down…it didn’t, matter she was dirt to him and nothing more than that. He let the angry though slip onto his face for a moment before blanking it out. He didn’t care they were children of a vampire…the word hit him and clarified as the son hit her… he was right about her. She was dead…

Anger dripped from his chest into every vessel of his body…burning like white fire as he stared at her skin that showed. His blue eyes turned a cold black as the change over took him completely…pain ripped from his body in every direction but it wasn’t like it had been when he first transformed months before. Now the pain was numbed by a ruthless amount of power he had obtained from not just transforming but becoming the wide untamed wolf that now lunged himself at Bella. The black of his eyes transformed back into icy blue as his body hit hers hard pushing both hard into the ground. There was no hesitation. No heart to neither stop him nor love to tell him no…only anger and hate fuelled him as he began to bite into her sides… his teeth viciously biting into her without remorse…his attack lasted only a few moments…stopping only as his head snapped up to hear footsteps approach…

[Alexander Cunningham]

Alexander had been walking the school grounds. It was later at night and he had been walking around the lake. he was starting to get tired and needed to go to bed. It was good to get some fresh air. He yawned and checked his old clock watch thing that his grandfather had given him before he had died. He slipped it back in his pocket. He made his way up towards the school. He walked slowly when he had heard two people not that far from him. He stopped dead in his tracks when he had saw what happened. Alexander’s eyes widened when he had saw that the figure on the ground was Isabella Gaunt. She had been a close friend over the years. “Isabella!.” He had shouted running towards her trying to go and push the wolf out of the way. He tried to get near hr or anything he could do to protect her but, he had been too late... He tried to back up a little but he tripped over a tree branch that had been behind him. He was a bit scared out of his mind. That’s when he decided to go for his wand and reach in his pocket for it.

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella looked up at Adonis, next thing you knew she had been on the ground. Adonis had changed into a werewolf. She noticed he was going to when she had seen his piercing blue eyes turn into black. Which was the one thing she was most certainly scared of especially when the two were dating. Bella fell hard when he had slammed against her. The impact could almost knock anyone out.

"Adonis Stop!" She tried to say as his teeth bite into her. Isabella screamed as she had seen Alexander behind Adonis. "No don't." She waved her one hand trying to get him out of there before Adonis could get to him. She held her side as she had felt it burning and rolled onto her one side. "Sy..." She said and reached her one hand on the ground.

Isabella didn't want to move. She just laid there closing her eyes. She felt so week. It was such a different feeling from when she remembered she was alive, getting hurt, or even being changed. She wanted Zeke, her kids, and well Syl the most especially right now.

[Sylvester Salazar Gaunt]

Sylvester sat in his office on the second floor of the castle looking over some lecture notes for the up-coming class. Alyssa was harping him about helping to come up with the lessons, and he couldn't put it off forever. He had jotted down a short list of spells and charms that he figured the students could learn, but it was harder than he had thought. Many of the spells that he thought were comprehensible by fifth years really weren't, and he was having a hard time narrowing down the ones that he knew the students could grasp easily enough.

Dropping his quill, Sy got up from his chair and went to sit on the bench by the window. He sat down and cracked his neck, glancing out over the lawns. It was then that he saw movement near the Whomping Willow. He couldn't tell who it was from here, but something seemed off. When a scream faintly reached his ears, Sylvester went and grabbed his wand from his desk, casting a simple incantation to transfigure his eyes into that of his dragon animagus. The yellow eyes with slits for pupils could see much further and much better in the dark than a normal human's. He felt something snap in his mind when he identified the people out on the lawns. He saw his sister Bella on the ground, obviously hurt, and a werewolf standing over her. At that moment, it didn't matter that the siblings hadn't spoken in months - since she had gotten pregnant - Sylvester's mind had just slipped into protective mode, and whoever that wolf was was going to pay dearly for attacking the sister of Sylvester Gaunt.

The window of Sylvester's office opened with a click just a second before the Charms professor jumped out of it. One spell later, Sylvester was racing towards the group of now three people at superhuman speeds, magic causing him to be able to move much faster than normal. As he ran, he cast the needed spells to transfigure his throat also into that of his animagus form so that he could breathe fire. It was dangerous to go full-on dragon, but this transformation should be more than enough. Casting a quick Stunning Spell at the werewolf in an attempt to simply get it off of Bella, Sylvester stood over his sister, facing her attacker. He still wasn't sure who the wolf was, but he didn't care. He would skin them and make a new rug for his office no matter who it was. His still yellow eyes glared at the wolf, a low rumble sounding from his throat before letting loose a quick stream of fire from his mouth. Sy gripped his wand tightly, readying himself for the wolf to make its first move. Its first and its last.

[adonisreneeknox]

Adonis felt panic tint the rage within his body as he caught sight of the student behind him…he didn’t have a choice there was only one way to keep the boy from running for help. He lunged quickly, knocking the boy over easily with one quick and violent moment. He sunk his teeth into the boys flesh biting down hard. He didn’t put rage into the attack like he did Bella but it was enough to keep the boy down as the pain of the bite would soon overtake him. Adonis rounded again on Bella, knowing fully well the bite he had put in her would be enough to kill a vampire…his second attack was cut short as light zoomed so close to him that he could feel the burn of the curse. Adonis looked up to find where the spell had been sent from…Immediately his anger flared worse…Sylvester Gaunt stood over Bella. His black eyes met Sy’s reptile like yellow eyes. He thought of every ounce of anger this boy had caused him…trying to take Candi away from him and catching her when Adonis broke her heart, keeping Paige from falling for Adonis, trying to break Adonis and Bella apart…Rage built up at every memory…he wanted to destroy him…skin ripped from the bone, muscles from bone, bone from organs…He bent down ready to launch himself at Sylvester but stopped instantly. He couldn’t get away with this if he didn’t leave now…there was too many people around.
He looked back at the boy behind him…Alexander something? And made his decision… he had too. He lunged for the boy instead flipped the boy’s body across his back he took off into the forest. He felt the cold earth sink into his paws as he ran through the forest, it took him a moment to realize the reason why he sunk into the earth as he ran…snow covered the earth. He forgot it was even winter…he barely felt the seasons anymore. His skin was always so warm these days. He kept running until he knew he passed the border of the schools veil. He didn’t stop, he apparated straight into Knockturn Alley…It was until then that he transformed back into his self. He let the boy’s body cripple to the side of a wall…no one in Knockturn even glanced as they walked by. No one cared, nor would they be surprised by anything they saw. He felt the wall and traced the star pattern with his wand

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella looked up as she had seen her brother in front of her. Her eyes widen as he had been a dragon? Isabella didn’t care though that he hadn’t told her about it but, just the fact Sylvester had been their even though the two haven’t really talked since she had been pregnant. She was proud of Syl the face that he had his animagus form now since he had the longest time. She just laid there until everything had been over. She was shivering because it had been so cold and her side had been burning. She felt like she had been alive again with the pain. It felt good to her but, the worse pain she had ever felt. Especially from when she had her babies too worse pain than that.

She let out a light scream as she laid there and turned over again holding her side. She just wanted to go home, her actual home right now instead of back at school. She had heard Adonis walking away and realized Alexander had been gone as well. She was just alone with her brother and it had been the longest time since she was. She winced in pain again looking up at him. “Syl?” She groaned out. She couldn’t really move. “I wanna go home.” She mumbled crying out in pain.
