My UN{{KNOWN}}::{Lou&Kia}::Darkness

[Nikita Snape]

Tonight wasn't like any of the other nights. It was... special. A time for ruckus. Planned ruckus may I add. Normally everything else evil that seemed to happen was unplanned, and unexpected... well most of the time. Some people expected danger to come creeping their way, but others... not so much. So on this night... Nikita Freya Snape was prepared. For destruction of someone whom was bringing down one of her friends, and fellow DE members. Now, Niki just couldn't let that go, now could she? Exactly, so in this case she was ready to do some serious persuading to this girl, whose name was Lou.

Walking down the corridor Nikita had a rather devious smile etched across her face, her pale eyes shining with an unknown darkness. Her eyes seemed to lace onto everyone that passed her, although she was only staring into space. She was in deep thinking as she turned silently, and statistically into Moaning Murtle's bathroom. She stepped inside quietly, walking into one of the out-of-order stalls. Although, almost all of them were out-of-order. She sat gently on the toilet lid, pulling her legs up to her chest and waiting for Lou, and then Kia. The two best friends had sent Lou a letter, asking her to meet them in there around this time. Although they remained anonymous.

<sub>"Hullo?"

The Hufflepuff girl called out into the partially flooded bathroom, becoming slightly nervous as her voice bounced off the walls of the place. She was slightly weirded out by the anonymous letter that she'd recieved that morning in the morning post, but had brushed the eerie feeling aside. It was simply an innocent note and she was sure the sender would apologize fully for creeping her out earlier.

But there was still something nudging at the back of her mind. Her nerves were acting up. Why couldn't this someone who sent her the letter simply talk to her? Was this such a private matter that it needed so much privacy as to be in an out-of-order girl's bathroom? Lou had never actually entered Moaning Mrytle's Bathroom. She was quite terrified of ghosts, and water of all kinds. So she preferred to stay away from both. When ghosts walked through her, it was probably the worst feeling she'd ever felt, and she worried that if she invaded Myrtle's personal space, the dead girl would swoop right through her.

So, the Huffle girl closed the down silently behind her and called out again. "Hullo?"</sub>

[Nikita Snape]

Hearing the unsteady voice of Lou McGooken, was very entertaining, and satisfying. She pulled her wand from her boot, getting off of the toilet seat. She kicked the stall door with her foot, which made tons of ruckus. Then with a swift movement of her wand the bathroom door was locked. She looked at Lou with pale eyes, masking a friendliness that really wasn't even an average expression on Miss. Snape's face. So, instead of murdering the smallish girl right then and there, she decided to play a little with her food... as usual. Laughing menacingly, she walked towards Lou with an undecided attempt to slap her across the face. She heard the sound echo gently across the room, in rushed sound waves. She smiled at this fact, remembering the time when she had slapped Avery. The poor dear... murdered by his first love.

Nikita looked around the room, expecting Kianthra Lestrange, one of her best friends, to waltz through a stall door with unexpected gracefulness. Slowly, her pale eyes moved back to Lou as she circled her unevenly. "Ahh... Miss. McGooken. You know it's sad. To see one of your good friends getting pulled under by a low life... despicable person. Yes, in case you actually caught on to that I was talking about you, the low life, and Tucker, one of my good friends. You're changing him into... something I don't like. I suggest you stop, eh?" Her voice was strong, and filled with confidence as she lifted her head highly up at Lou.

<sub>The slap across the face was nothing new to the small Huffle. She'd been bullied all her life and physical pain was nothing new to her. But that didn't mean that the Slytherin girl's handprint didn't burn on her cheek, stinging beyond anything she would have thought for such a cool, collected girl as Nikita Snape.

But as she stared into those pale blue eyes, Lou realized, with dread, that she shouldn't have come tonight. This was, perhaps, one of the most dangerous things she could have done. But really, there was no way out of it, and her heart sunk as she realized that. Perhaps she should simply give up, submit to the attacker that she knew was going to hurt her no matter what. Because, honestly, she couldn't defend herself. She was too afraid of hurting the Snape girl.

"I'm not changing him at all, Nikita," Lou answered, her light, sweet voice shaking slightly from fear. "He's changing on his own. Into something better than he is. And I suppose if you don't like that, then you'll have to talk to him about it." Although her voice was shuttering uncontrollably, she was glad she'd gotten out at least a full sentence.</sub>

[Nikita Snape]

Nikita's pale eyes studied Lou carefully, and she was quite taken aback by her subtle voice. She lifted an eyebrow at her, cocking her head to the side. "Brave girl... talking back to me like that. I respect that... but I'm still gonna kick the shit outta you. sorry." She smiled her Innocent smile her eyes shining. With that, she kicked the girl hard in the stomach, sending her to her knees painfully.

Nikita bent down to Lou's body, whispering in her ear quietly, "Now, I don't mean to hurt you. Just to knock some sense into you, and well... force you to break up with Tucker, that way you don't change him. Oh... wait... that means I'm going to have to beat it into you, eh? Oh well... pain is good. It makes you stronger. I suppose that's why I am so strong. You'll learn from the best." She smiled, calling Kia's name simultaneously.

[Kianthra Lestrange]

Kianthra Lestrange walked swiftly up the grand staircase to the second floor. She hated being late at the best of times, and she knew well not to keep her best friend waiting, especially tonight. Having just finished prefect duty, but then being held up by Avero who wanted to talk about the last homework asignment, Kia was running five minutes late. You might not think five minutes late was that bad? But for Kia, it was only very rarely that she was ever late, usually when something drastic had happened. She paused by the door to Moaning Murtle's Bathroom, a place she had been many times to access the secret entrance to the chamber of secrets which was hidden within.

She listened in silence, just being able to make out two voices. Ah the Huffler must have arrived. She quickly unlocked the door, Alohomora, before sealing it again when she was inside the bathroom, colloportus. She turned and saw that the poor Huffler has her back to her, how, unfortunate. She tiptoed forward, catching Niki's eye to ensure that she didn't give away her presence. Kia smiled as Niki said that the Huffler would learn from the best. "Sorry I'm late," she whispered menacingly into the Huffler's ear.

[Lou McGooken]

<sub>Lou jumped when she heard the sadistic voice whispering in her ear. Dread was beginning to seep into every particle of her being. She didn't want to be here. No one had told her that this was what would result if she followed the instructions on the little note. The Huffler cursed herself for being so gullible.

"Jesus, you scared me," she muttered to the Lestrange girl, her voice wavering slightly as she began to tremble. Her hands were shaking terribly. She wouldn't even be able to hold her wand at this point, let alone use it.

In fact, the Slytherins had a most unfair advantage over her. Not only was she shit at magic, there were two of them. Two Slytherins, highly trained in the Dark Arts. They could do anything they wanted to her and she wouldn't be able to do anything to stop them. In fact, they could probably kill her and get away with it. Lou knew most Death Eaters had a habit of playing with their food before they ate it.

She gulped.</sub>

[Nikita Snape]

Keeping her face completely straight, she looked at Lou, keeping her attention on her that way Kia could make her entrance. Finally, as she saw the look of antagonized fear in Lou's eyes did she lift her eyes to look at Kia. "Ah... of course she scared you, child... what would you expect?" She smiled another one of her evil smiles at Lou, turning her back on the redhead just as quickly as the smile vanished and was replaced by a glare of depravity. Her pale eyes showed her immune abhorrence drastically, and she did nothing to suppress this emission that was blanketing the look that still rested behind her eyes. The look of kindness... which only showed when she was with Xavier, and normally never showed again until she saw him.

Finally, coming back to the darkness of reality, which frankly was her home, Niki looked at Kia, winking at her menacingly. "Let's play a little with our dinner, Kia... I don't like skipping to dessert... it's... childish." She said in her low, haunted voice that was nearing a hiss. As if she hadn't even spoken, Niki and Kia turned to look at Lou, who was staring with wide eyes. "Now, let's be just as bold as you were as you spoke to me earlier... shall we, kiddo?" Nikita teased, obviously showing her mood of displeasure with Lou's lack of courage. "Your like that lion in Wizard of Oz. That muggle movie. Disgusting."

[Lou McGooken]

<sub>Her body was itching with the instinct to run to the door and try to get out of here. But she knew she couldn't. It was the coward in her that was forcing her thoughts towards the escape. But maybe it would be better to not even try. She wouldn't succeed. And that scared the living shit out of her. That she was at these two girls' disposal like some plaything.

"The Cowardly Lion?" she asked, her thoughts straying for a moment, and she smiled for the briefest of seconds. "Oh I do hope so!" Her smile widened. "The Lion gets his courage in the end." The moment she'd said it, she knew she shouldn't have. This would only give her tormentors more fuel to add to the fire. Another taunt to throw at her Muggle-born self. Jesus, why couldn't she keep her mouth shut sometimes?</sub>

[Kianthra Lestrange]

Kia simply smiled, a cruel smile that could send even the bravest gryffindor into a quivering wreck. She remained where she was, even though it was so tempting to sweep around the girl and join her best friend. She looks scared out of her wits... Kia looked at Nikita, raising her eyebrows slightly, before whispering, "I'd have to agree with you there Niki, so unprofessional." She walked gracefully around the cowardly lion, to her best friend's side. She gave the girl a piercing glare before whispering again, "Oh you hope so do you? Well this won't exactly be a happy ending," she smiled again before catching Nikita's eye and laughing quietly.
