Secretly Reading ~Isaac~

[darkfall]

Allison shut her door quietly. It was midnight, the best time to hide away and do things a "proper Malfoy heiress" shouldn't do. Pulling out her book, she crawled into bed, still in a t-shirt and jeans, and began to read by the light of a new candle. The candle always ended up melting away by the time her "alone time" was done, so every night she replaced it and hid the melted wax under the floorboards so the house elves wouldn't find it and blab to her parents. However, just as Allison began to get comfortable, her door creaked open. It was...

[malfoy]

Isaac, he was restless. He had not felt at rest in a very long time. He didn't really know what had inspired him to go there, but he had decided to go and talk with Allison. They didn't speak often. Not as often as a brother and sister should. "Hey Alli," Issac said quietly.

[darkfall]

Allison, slightly relieved it was Isaac, looked up from her book. "Izzy." she replied smoothly. Her brother knew she was a bit of a bookworm, but not that she loathed her parents for wanting her to follow the family legacy by becoming a Death Eater. And she didn't plan on blabbing it out to anyone. She may be young, but she wasn't naive. Far from it. Setting the book down on the bedside table, she tapped the edge of her bed, motioning for Isaac to come sit next to her.

[malfoy]

Isaac closed the door behind him, then pulled out his wand and put a charm on the door, so house elves wouldn't be able to listen in. They were prone to do that. He had just figured out how to make his eyes look normal, but the spell had to be constantly reapplied, and they didn't get his eyes the light blue-gray they used to be. At least steely gray was more convincing than burgundy. "I have a feeling I might get thrown out soon." Isaac said in a low voice, although he knew he had charmed the door.

[darkfall]

Allison sat up a bit. "Why? Have Mum and Daddy found out about you and Gabriella? Again..." she replied quietly. She did a quick sweep of the room, looking for any remaining house elves. When none turned up, she laid her grey eyes back on Isaac. "Or has something else happened?"

[malfoy]

"No, if they had found out about Gabby I would have been on the streets long before now." Isaac said, then began to knead his forehead with his knuckles, a sign that he was either stressed or brooding over something. The spell on his eyes began to fade, flecks of burgundy poking through the steely gray. "I'm a vampire." Isaac said, voice even more low.

[darkfall]

Allison sat up. She jumped up a bit, landing on her knees. She slowly inched her way forward, finally making her way to Isaac. With a flick of her wand (illegal magic had become quite her specialty, she had a knack for no one finding out) the spell on Isaac's eyes vanished and she leaned forward, barely breathing. Her eyes met Isaac's, and she didn't move, still not breathing.

[malfoy]

Isaac didn't breathe either, he didn't need to since he had become a vampire. Allison was kind of spooking him, staring at him in that way, for once completely silent. He placed a hand on his sister's shoulder, burgundy eyes clearly reflecting guilt and grief. "Just thought that I'd run away before they threw me out first." Isaac said. "I couldn't leave without saying goodbye." This was true, Isaac cared for his sister, more than most older brother cared for their little sisters. "I'll be out of here by day break." He added, then crossed the room and opened the window. Isaac turned back to Allison, feeling as though he could not leave, not like this.

[darkfall]

Just then, Allison did completely out of character. She jumped off of her bed, unusually quietly, and wrapped her arms around Isaac. She bit back tears. "Please don't leave... I need you. There is so much I've never gotten the chance to tell you, share with you..." she whispered, holding on tightly to her older brother.

[malfoy]

Isaac hugged back, being very gentle, as if Allison were made of glass. In a way, she was. Isaac was extremely strong now, he could break anything as easily as tearing parchment. If he still had blood pumping through his veins, he might have lost feeling in his feet. He held his sister's chin in his hand. "Alli, I can't stay here. I'll finish up Hogwarts, then, well, I don't know." Isaac said. "I hate mum and dad, they hate me, my being a vampire will be the last straw." The spell had entirely faded, Isaac's eyes were now the burgundy they stubbornly remained at.

[darkfall]

Allison bit her lip. "I hate them too. I hate them for what they want for me... us." she replied solemnly, not taking her grey eyes of her brother's burgundy ones. For the first time in her life, she was truly scared. Scared for herself, scared for her future. but most of all, scared for her brother. This was something she never really felt before, the tingling sensation was causing her legs to become numb.

[malfoy]

Isaac's brain formulated a plan. They both hated their parents, why should Allison stay behind at the dreaded manor? He could carry her and they would be far away from there by day break. "Pack lightly, we're leaving." Isaac said with a smile, noticing some hesitation. "Unless you'd rather stay."

[darkfall]

Allison couldn't help but laugh. "Hell no." she whispered. She threw together a t-shirt, sweatpants, socks, and some other things, books and stuff. She cast a Charm on her books to make them weightless and she slung the bag over her shoulder. Within seconds it was done and she was back by the window.

[malfoy]

Isaac smiled, then picked up his sister as effortlessly as he would a small cat. "Don't look down." He said, then jumped out the second-story window. He landed lightly on his feet and began to run. Everything was a blur. Isaac had never felt more happy in his life. Perhaps Gabriella was right, running was great.

[darkfall]

Allison held on as tightly as she could muster. Her eyes kept themselves tightly closed, refusing to open even the tiniest bit. She didn't care. Her and her brother were friends, that's all that really mattered at the moment. And the fact that she was going to be far away from her pestering parents.
