Reflections of the Moon (Jack Z.)

[Amanda Lewis]

Amanda had came back to her dorm after her classes were done.It was a hot afternoon today, and she wanted to relax a little form her studies.Once she reached her dorm, Amanda laided down and readied a book for a while, then feel a sleep.When woke up and looked our her window, she saw it was nighttime.Amanda opened her window to look outside.The night was a little warm.So she got dressed.She changed into a jean skirt half above her knee and a light blue top.Leaving her hair down and put on her black flipflops.Once done she headed out quietly of her dorm as to , not wake any of her roommates up.


Now she saw it as a little late, and a few of her roommates turned in early.But where could she go that, she would not get into trouble for?Amanda wondered.As Amanda walked through the castle, it was so quiet.A little too quiet for her.Once she walked out of the castle, Amanda just started to walk around.Where would she end up at though? Could it be the small town of hogsmeade, or somewhere else?She didn't want to go into the forest again on a full moon.Amanda chose to go to the lake.She hasn't been there in a while and it was a good place to go.


Once she reached the lake, Amanda walked along the shore.She saw that a few, couples were out tonight.Not wanting to be around couples, she thought of another pace to go.See a small path that leaded away from the lake, she followed it.The path leaded her to a small pier.Amanda walked to the edge of the pier bridge.She saw the lake below.Was there a way down that went to the lake without jumping off the bridge?She looked around for anything to lead to the water.


To the side there was another small path that went off the side of the pier.Following that it, leaded Amanda to the lake shore below the pier bridge.Amanda took off her flip flops and put her feet into the water.She sighed and looked up at the moonlight,It was a clear night sky and a full moon.But when she looked down at the water, Amanda saw her own reflection in the water from the moonlight.

[Jack Zamara]

Jack had spent the hot afternoon hidden in the shadows of one of Trios's towers, shying away from the potentionally deadly beams of the sun. He had tried to get a few hours sleep in during the day, he was surprised none of the teachers pulled him for never being in lessons. He could be there, if he was already inside the castle, and stuck to the darkest corners of the room.

Darkness slowly crept over the grounds, and he could smell the sunset, it was slightly different to the smell of the sunrise, which he could smell within an hour of it coming up, it usually gave him plenty of time to get away and find somewhere dark. The first thing Jack did was look around, he spotted the full moon, he scowled, knowing his furry four legged friends would be roaming tonight. How he despised werewolves, pretty much like they despised vampires. Lycans, what were they good for? He pulled on his trech coat and walked down, figuring tonight, he should be in the forest, where he could keep an eye on the troublesome beasts,

He knew it was still early and many of them wouldnt be roaming just yet so this gave him a bit of time to kill, rather than werewolves. True he knew that they were only in this state three times out of the month, but Jack didnt care. He would hunt and kill any one of the beasts, and he would do it with no concience at all. That was the way he was, if an animal could kill another, then that animal deserves to die itself.

After all...

Wasnt death just another path in life?

But what to do for the next few hours? The winds air was clammy, having been a warm day, it was trying to cool down too fast, and now just felt horrible and humid. He seemed to be totally lost in his thoughts and didnt really watch where his feet were taking him. He saw, however, the looks he got of the couples around the lake, many suspicious as a lot had heard rumours about him, and many more suspected him. Though this neither annoyed, nor bothered Jack, because he knew somewhere, he was still who he used to be. Granted, cold, cruel and harsh. Though he was still Jack.

Walking further on, his feet lead him down a pathway, which he knew lead out onto the pier overlooking the black lake. He walked a bit further on when he saw a faint outline of someone else, he figured these next few hours, were probably not going to be quiet. He went to walk away, when he saw the reflection in the water from where he was stood. It was Amanda. He walked up beind him and bent down, "What you doing out so late on a full moon?"

[Amanda Lewis]

Amanda took a nap after her classes, and well the day passed her by.Now it was night time, but still a little early.So she figured that she cold go for a short walk to take some time, to think and clear her head.Her classes were going ok for her, But it really didn't matte much to her in some ways.Amanda could still pass the classes.She hoped.


As she walked toward the lake, Amanda thought it wold be good, to have some time to herself.She really didn't have any people she could call friends.Well one.Jack.He was her friend,and expect for him, Amanda was usually found alone.Since being here at hogwarts, she has met a few people as acquaintances.But thats all.She really didn't trust anyone.And kept to herself, which didn't bother her one bit.


When she reached the lake.Amanda looked for a place to be alone.Then she found a pier over looking the lake.It was peaceful.Especially the way the water reflected from the moonlight.For a while Amanda looked up and stared at the moon, as if it could give her a answer to a question.But she knew it couldn't.Then she looked down at the water.Amanda saw her own reflection looking back at her.


It wasn't long before she heard, someone as a question."What you doing out so late on a full moon?"Amanda knew the voice it belonged to.Jack.Plus she knew what he was so,Jack being out here at night, wasn't a surprise to her.Amanda turned around and saw that, Jack was standing close to her.She replied. "What am I do out on a full moon? I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. So I went for a walk to clear my mind. I'm not that far from the castle.See?". Amanda pointed the path that leaded back to the castle to Jack.Then put her hand down.


Once Amanda put her hand back at her side.She then asked him. "So did you need to clear you mind too? or are you hunting Jack?". Amanda only asked that because, of the look on his face.A very serious look that, Jack had.But then again, That was just him from what, she knew.So it really didn't bother her that much.Amanda turned back around.But now she had her right half facing Jack, and her left half facing the water,But while they stood there at the shore, Amanda waited for Jack's answer.

[Jack Zamara]

Amanda was pretty much the only one he was ever nice to and thus obviously got worried when she was out on a full moon when he knew there would be werewolves prowling. He just didnt want to see her get hurt, anyone else could get munched on for all he cared. He turned to look in the direction of where she was pointing and nodded, she wasnt that far from the castle, this was true, but she was too close to the forest for his liking, this was also true.

"Im hunting tonight" He told her, it was the only thing he did the last three nights of every month. Hunt the werewolves, kill as many as possible. His face was stern and his senses fully alert. He knew the werewolves would be leaving the clearing soon and he didnt want Amanda anwhere near any place that could resolve in her getting hurt, or worse, bitten. He knew if she got herself bitten, when the time came, she would change and join with the others, and Jack wouldnt be able to tell her from the others, and in her changed form, she wouldnt recognise him. Why was he even thinking about that, if Jack kept himself true and protected her, like she had once done from the sunlight, she would be fine and he would have no reason to fret.

((Sorry it took so long))
