Dying to get out?

[charlie12]

Wandering.

That's all he ever did, was wander. Wander throughout the halls, throughout his mind. Where would the world take him. More importantly, where would his feet take him? Down stairs, and ramps, Charlie floated into a dark abyss. The dungeons. He knew the place. He had saw it before, in the last term. How scary. He remembered the dark from the last term. It was the last place he chose to visit before Fall Break. But now school was going back into session. Another term would slowly pass, and it would probably be the same as the previous term. Lonely. Non successful. And just plain weird. But that is what Hogwarts was. Weird. A very good quality too.

Charlie walked down a few steps into the dark, holding onto the wall for support. How different could the dark be from light? It just took his ability to see. Something he'd give up if he had the chance. Charlie walked willingly into the darkness that lied ahead of him. But why was he going into the darkness? Just for fun. To see how far he'd make it before getting lost...and possibly never being found. It could happen. But it was highly unlikely.

Charlie sighed before heading down a hall. A torch hung from the wall to light the pathway. Pictures lined the walls. They stared at Charlie. Intimidating him. He hid his eyes, trying to avoid eye contact with anyone, or anything.

Ania was, as usual, exploring the dark and creepy depths of the dungeons. She yawned slightly, brushing back her jet black tresses. She looped her fingers through the belt loops of her black hiphuggers, her hot pink tank revealing a small strip of her tanned stomach. She smiled to herself, her emerald eyes glittering in the torch's light as turned a corner.

She almost ran into Charlie, flat ouot not notcing she wasn't alone. "I am soooo sorry." she said as she took a step back. Narrowly missing running into the torch behind her, she settled on knocking herself into the wall instead.

"Ow..." she said rubbing her head and laughing. "I'm such a clumsy little twit..." she said with a smirk as she extened her hand. "I'm Ania... Ania Fox."

Charlie kept walking, head down. He hadn't noticed anyone else in the dungeon with him. It had been quiet, not like usual. Usually Hogwarts was loud, but there were many people in Hogwarts too. Many students besides himself.

He jerked his head up as a girl almost ran into him. His eyes widened a bit as she almost stepped back into a torch lining the wall. "Uhm.." He started but stopped once the girl decided on where she was going to stand. He smiled a bit, trying not to make a big deal.

"Hello, Ania." He started, "I'm Charlie. Uh--are you okay?" Charlie wondered aloud. He awkwardly waited for a response.

Ania smiled widely, back to her usual upbeat self. "Oh, I'm absolutely okie dokie fine...." she said in her bouncy, peppy voice. "The dungeons are unusally dark today..." she said with another laugh. She wasn't good with awkward silences. They just weren't her thing.

(Mines short too so no worries)

Charlie smiled a bit towards Ania. She was perky, he could tell. Charlie nodded towards Ania's statement of her being okay. It was good that she was safe. He didn't want to start out a term hurting anyone even if he didn't actually hurt anyone.

"Yeah, they are." Charlie agreed. The dungeons were darker than they usually were and that made it scarier. "So..." Charlie trailed off allowing silence to follow. He looked around the dungeon and then at the torch, trying to figure out something to say to stop the silence. "Uh...So...hm...I'm never good at these." He laughed, "How are you?"

"Oh I'm pretty good... alittle on the sugary side of hyper but other than that." she said with one of her unexpected girlish giggles. "I hate when that happens... it's like my own mouth wants to embarass me." she said with her mischeivous smirk, her eyes sparkling with a playful look within them.

"And what about you?" she asked nicely, attempting to strike up a conversation worth holding onto. He seemed very nice so far. Most usually got annoyed with her very quickly.

"Me...well...I'm great. Yes traveling in the dark..something I enjoy." He said in a sarcastic tone of voice. "Well--what're ya doing down here? I'm, apparently, trying to get myself lost. I actually thought I did too before running into you. Well--no--before you ran into the torch."
He smiled a bit, "sorry, had to say it."

"Anyways--since were already down here wanna explore the dungeons together?"
[Short..again..]

"Sure... sounds good to me." she said with a toss of her raven tresses. Most saw this sugary-hyper girl of 5'9' to be someone that was always super bubbly but this girl was usually dark and tried to keep to herself. She just knew how to play it so she seemed.... normal. Inside, she was fiery... passionate... and highly dangerous. But what they didn't know wouldn't hurt them.
