Guess whos back?!? -The Bush baby-

[Ashley Lovegood]

"Oh..." Ashley looked away for a moment. She wished her brother was there. Even if it was to be over protective. Her eyes widened slightly at the thought. Thats right, Bryce still didn't know did he? She cringed at the thought. Bryce was the closest thing to a brother she had and she had no clue how he would react. She decided to put off the task and to help him at the moment. "Well, good for you. I mean, I probably would have asked why he hated me so much before telling him that you would continue to see her against his wishes but..." She trailed off with a shrug. Bryce must really like her to go up against a sixth year.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce looked at her "Yeah well a part of me really doesn't care what he says. If I have to get myself beat up then I will. I really like this girl Ash" he then told her as he looked away for a few minutes and thought what he would do.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Her expression softened. He must if he was willing to get the crap beat out of him just for her. "Well, hopefully your girlfriend can talk some sense into him. I really don't think theres much you can do," She said, her voice a bit quieter. Her gaze moved to look down the long hall they were walking down. "I think she just needs to work it out with him more than anything." She concluded, looking back at him with a soft smile.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce looked at her and smiled "Thankx Ash" he told her as he looked down the hallway as well when she did. "I wonder where we are at" he then told her as he looked up and saw the pictures again that was on the walls in the hallways.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Ashley shrugged, "No need to thank me. Just doin my job." She joked, flashing him a smile before looking down the long hall once more. She found it quite odd that they had not run into any more students yet, maybe they were hiding or something. Just as she opened her mouth to speak her thoughts, Bryce began to speak. She nodded in agreement to his comment. "Yeah, I have no clue right now." This was sad, she had been here five terms, broken many rules and still could not find her way around the castle. So much for all her night time wanderings.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce looked at her "Yeah well I think me and you should go out in the dark and start to wonder around and see if we can get our selfs lost. How does that sound?" he then asked her. He looked back down the hallway and saw it was pretty dark. He looked around again and thought about how they haven't ran into any other students here yet. He looked back at Lovegood "I wonder where everyone elt's is at" he then told her as he looked around again.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Ashley smiled at his suggestion. That was a brilliant idea in deed! It had been forever since she had gotten lost for the heck of it and was looking forward to it. "Yeah! Let's get lost because thats what we do best." She added with a laugh. She was definitely in higher spirits today than she had been in a while. "So, you want to wander around the halls or go out into the grounds?" She asked. It was dark enough in the halls but the sun was setting over the horizon so nightfall would soon be upon them.

"Me too..... Maybe there hiding," She suggested, glancing around them as if another student was going to jump out at them any second. Which probably was not going to happen, but it was fun to pretend so. She looked back at Bryce with a cheeky smile.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce just grinned at her "I think we should get lost in the maze" he told her. He knew how much she hated the maze. He just grinned about that and how much she hated it. He then started to look around ever corner to make sure that no one was around. He then looked back at her and grinned again.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Her jaw almost dropped, almost. She hated the maze and Bryce new that well. Bad times. Her expression shifted from shock to slight anger. She glared at him for a second before speaking. "How about no. I went last time but I'm not giving in this time." She set her jaw, ready for any excuse Bryce threw at her to persuade her to go to the creepy maze with him.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce looked at her and giggled. "Ummm that's to bad we are going right now" he told her as he grabbed her hand and started to walk towards the maze. He looked back at Lovegood "Besides I'll be right by your side at all times" he then told her as he still held onto her hand to make her feel better.

[Ashley Lovegood]

Her mad facial expression melted into a look of disbelieve and fear. "But... I.... uh...." She needed to pull herself together. There was no way she was stepping one foot into that maze... right? As he took her hand, she began to pull against his grip, which was almost useless. He was stronger than her and was determined to force her into that horrible place. "Bryce...." She whinnied, but stopped suddenly at his words. She quit tugging as hard, but was still resistant as he dragged her along the corridor. Her eyes narrowed, was could she do? There had to be something that he would rather do than torture her. She had to admit that last time it had not been so bad. No monsters attacking, raging fires, nothing in those categories she feared. She sighed in defeat. There was no way she could win.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce still held onto her hand and still dragged her along beside himelf. He looked over at Ashley "It's going to be fine" he told her as he smiled at her. He knew that Ashley had to get over this. So why not start now? "Ashley I'll be right by your side at all times" he told her once more to her.

[Ashley Lovegood]

His words did calm her down, if only a bit. She sighed and looked away from him, knowing that she would give in completely if she looked at him. She knew she needed to get over this fear, but still.... it was hard walking into that scary place. Especially in the dark. Why did it have to be night? Watch something come after them and Ash run away like a kid. She hated being afraid, and also hated not fighting because of it.

"Yeah, I know," She mumbled, reluctant to look at him, but she did. Her eyes settled upon him and her defenses collapsed. "Ok fine, I'll go. But if anything happens, I won't go again. Got?" She said all of this rather hotly. Without meaning to. She felt bad for her attitude and apologized quickly. "Sorry. Just... nervous."

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce looked at her "Don't worry about it Ash. Heck if I was you I would do the same thing as well" he told her as he gave her a cheesy grine. He looked ahead and started to think about stuff. He looked back at her and smiled to her.

[Ashley Lovegood]

A small smile played across her lips. She was a bit nervous about visiting the Maze, and who knows? With the Litterll's luck she might get eaten and then never have to worry about going there again.

A question suddenly appeared in her head as she followed him on in the direction of the maze. "So..." She began slowly, "Um, Brie's brother does not like you very much?" She asked out of curiosity. She had heard of the events that had taken place down at he lake not too long ago. If she had been there she would have been pissed off. No matter what there issue was with Bryce there was no reason to treat him like that. He had never done anything to deserve how everyone was treating him. "Want me to jinx Trinton for you?" She offered with a grin. It would be her pleasure to do so.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce looked at her "I'm not to worry about Brie's brother right now. It's Ally that I really can't stand at the moment. But of course she's that good of a friend" he told her as he looked around and then looked at her again. "No I really don't need your help. If Ally really want's to get into a fight then I'll get into a fight with her" he then told her as he smiled to her.

[Ashley Lovegood]

"Awwww," She said, her face falling. "But I wanted to have some fun and get into a fight," She joked, breaking into a laugh. "Just kidding. But I would avoid a fight at all cost." She warned, not wanting him to be banned from school as well. She was unsure if she could take losing two best friends and a brother.

[Bryce Roylance(AWAY)]

Bryce looked at her "Do you really want me to leave you alone in the maze?" he asked her as he still looked at her. He knew for a fact that she would get scared if she was alone in that maze by herself. He also knew that she would hate him forever. He just grinned at the thought about that.

(I'm goin 2 make the thread at the maze rite now)

[Ashley Lovegood]

A horrified expression sprung to life across her face. She would defiantly not go if Bryce did not. But if he left here there.... A shiver ran up her spine at the thought. She hated that place to begin with, she only imagine the state she would be in when she finally ventured out after hours of being hopelessly lost in the evil maze. "No!" She nearly shouted.
