What Once Was.

[Emelia White]

"Backbird singing in the dead of night...
Take these broken wings and learn to fly..."
Emmy whispered in her slow, singsong voice as she snaked around the corridors. For being the the so called forbidden corrider, she was really quite bored to be honest. She'd been through this exact same hallway so many times she'd memorized it. The walls, the bricks that made up the walls, even the barely noticeable stains that were worn into the dusty isolation. Sometimes she felt like just fracturing them, breaking brick after boring brick into tiny dust motes and getting out of here. But this was here dream school, what she had wanted since the day she moved out of her parents house -Well, not really house, more like 4 story mansion- This was half of the reason she was what she was, and she was not just going to excuse that fact and leave, she was going to fulfill her dream whether she liked it (And she didn't) or not.

The Slytherin vampire rested her back and head against the equally hard wall, looking around the dark corridor with sharp, golden eyes. She had refused to drink human blood, and this was the result. A type of diet she had chosen after coming across a few others like herself. She couldn't drink human blood while she was here, not if she didn't want to explode in a hungry rage. She felt that her animal blood was what kept herself sane, away from hurting others. That, and the fact she almost completely ignored anyway her came across her. She sighed and sunk to the ground, her head in her hands now as she thought about her forever 16 life.

Snape easily walked the Forbidden Corridor he hardly ever used a light, something that allowed him to find students out & about that should not. He was not an easy going man & his was around the school only showed it more to be true but, in the end many that went threw what he gave them where much more ready for the world that they had to live in after school.

His steeps where light as he walked on, though he listened to the sounds around him to hear if anything was out of place, so far there had been nothing but, it was still his job to cheek & he would do so.

Emelia's head snapped up at the sound of approaching feet and she instinctively looked around for a body to match them with. They were slick, almost floating, and they were much to quick and careful to be a student, as well. With a quick breath, she picked herself up off the floor and backed up away from the threat that was being caught. She'd never been caught back here, and she didn't feel the need to let that happen now. She glanced around, checking everything with peripheral vision. Everything was intact, unmoving, so nothing could be in the shadows, could there?

She hated not knowing, it just brought suspense to her, and then came fustration, and then... Em already had her lips curled over her teeth. More in a defensive manner than offense, as she backed away. She felt herself hit a dead end, and her face went blank in surprise. "Dead ends? In this corridor?" She turned around to find she had bumped into someone and her eyes went wide as she tried to belt for it.

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape had listened closely though he heard nothing, out of place so if some one was there they where very quited something not likely, though how he found that to be when he was ready to leave, he felt something against him he knew it was no wall because of the hight of the object & that a person, a student no doubted, after all a Professor or at least most would of come high on him & the second give away is as he moved by in nature to grab them he did not miss, that who there actions only proved it was a student.

He was quick to reach for his wand to cast a silent light spell to see who it was as he spoke so, the person heard him clearly "No..t....so....fas...t" He waited to see who it was thought in the back of his mind he hoped it was any but, one of his house.

A hiss past Emelia's lips and she quickly covered it up as a choke, considering whoever it was had clenched down on her neck. The person had hold of her neck... Nobody was fast enough to catch Emmy. Oh merlin... She had hissed at Snape. The person was Snape, of all people! It wasn't like she didn't like her head of house, but after the whole mix up in the battle of hogwarts the former year, she was quite wary of him. It seemed to her, it was better to stay out of his way than to stir up trouble, and it was only now did she realize, she had already stirred up trouble, she should have known better than to walk the forbidden corridor in the middle of the day! It's was normally Filches turf, though...

Emmy pulled against Snape's grip as his wand light practically blinded her. "Sorry professor!" She quickly insisted. "I was..." The teacher surely would come up with an excuse for one of his own house, wouldn't he? But with all the faculty knowing she was a vampire, she had a probable slimmer chance. "Thirsty." The old excuse popped out of her mouth, one she used everytime she was caught somewhere she not ought to be. "And I felt it was safer for the other students if I went somewhere solidarity, away from them, so... This was the first place that came to mind."

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape saw it was Emmy & with her pull he let his hold go of her as he lowered his wand some, only he though it would be someone else but, not it was one of his own house. Snape watched her with her words, oddly he did not fear her as many likely did but, then he had seen much in his life. "Yes, well the next time you choose such a spot, this is not the place to go, even you should not be here & if Filche found you the out come would not be good for you, as for my self I will over look it this time.
