Darkness Reigns...

I sit there, huddled in the driest corner of my cell, listening to the constant dripping of water from above; it must be raining outside. If there still is an outside, that is. I've been in here so long I can hardly remember what it feels like to have sun on your face. How long has it been? A fortnight? A month? Two? I've lost count of the days. I hardly sleep anymore.
To think that this was once a potions classroom. The faint smell of dungbomb still hangs around; I have a vivid memory of planting one here when Snape wasn't looking. Memories. They're all that keep me from losing my mind, like most of the other prisoners in here did. Though, of course, he's not as careful with them. They don't have anything so valuable as I do. Spoil the host, and you might spoil the powers as well.
The powers. Powers supposed to work against evil, powers meant to destroy Voldemort, not help him. Of course he hasn't got them yet, if he kills us they'll be lost, but it's only a matter of time before he finds a way to separate them from their owners. For the millionth time since I was locked in here, I wish I had my wand, or at least the use of my the powers that got me trapped here in the first place. But he's not that stupid. Before they put me in here, he performed some kind of protection spell, using my blood. I can't even stop the chilling draft of air while I'm in here.
The door opens, and he walks in, followed by Hexe. She's changed completely since he got hold of the ring. He cut off her finger to get to it. The colour is drained from her skin, and she's painfully thin. Her eyes, once a bright, blazing violet are now the palest of pale shade of lilac. Sometimes I wonder if there's still a mind behind those blank, expressionless eyes. It's frightening to look at her, to see how much she's changed in so little time, but Voldemort makes a point of bringing her in every time he comes.
He stands in front of me, his face unreadable. I try to avert my gaze from his hideous face, I try to look past him to count the cracks in the opposite wall... But it's impossible. He seems to take up the whole room, my eyes are drawn to his. He gives me an unpleasant smile. "Give it up," I say hoarsely, scowling at him, "I'm not going to change my mind."
"Megan, I don't like to see you wasting away like this," (liar) "It's pointless. If you join me, you'll be in a position of power, don't you see?" Oh yes, I see. I'll be in a position of power, until you find out how to extract the magic you want from me. Does he think I'm stupid or something? We both know that either way's going to end in my death. "Your friend, Wolf, she was far more rebellious," Yes, I can imagine... Wait a minute - was? "Yes, but she saw my way in the end."
"You're lying!" I croak. You slimeball. How dare you? Wolf would sooner die than join Voldemort and betray all of her friends. It's a trick, I know it is.
"He's not lying, Meg," Professor Hexe? I know he's controlling her, I know he is lying - he has to be. I know she's not saying that of her own accord, but to hear the words from her mouth... It's scary.
Meg's face remained blank. She couldn't risk letting Voldemort know what she thought. Wolf - had she really betrayed them? She knew all of the other Chosen Ones, Elementals and Ruby Holders had been captured, but she hadn't seen or heard of them since she'd caught herself.

A dark shadow lay over Hogwarts - though it was never known as Hogwarts any more. The castle, they called it - those who dared mention it at all. His castle. You-know-who's castle. The heart of the evil had taken control of the wizarding world.
OOC: A kind of 'What if?' topic. Set about a year from now, when Voldemort's taken over (well, that's obvious). :) Evil! Sorry it's so long. O_o;;

Rowena looked glumly at her hands, wishing she could stop the irritating pitter-patter of drops on the roof outside. She wished she could just transfigure the hard floor below into something softer. She just wished that Hogwarts was back to normal and she could go through the very corridors outside laughing, talking and discussing homework. Friends, family and a warm fireplace. How distant they all seemed...

Tara was muttering insanely to herself as she wandered around looking for someone to eat. She was invisable so that no-one would notice her. She wandered around for ages but it was useless as there was no-one about. No-one ever dared to go outside any more, no one at all.....

Tiger sat down and tried not to think about how things were before, or how anything will be after. "I'm tired of doing nothing," she said.

OOC: Cool topic, Seek. I want to see how it developes.
A bright blue flash came from the cell next to Meg. Had Meg seen it, she would have know that Voldemort was lying. Wolf was havong a tough time though. Her blood had practically painted the cell red, but it wasn't taking as much of a toll on her as what she heard feared for her friends. Were they being treated worse that her? This troubled her. She had to see them. There was only one way. "VOLDEMORT!" She yelled, her voice echoing through all of the cells.

The cry woke Roz. It took only the slightest thing to wake her now, she was almost to weak to sleep. The second her eyes opened they filled with unshed tears. She saw no point in hiding them any more, there was no one coming to see them, no ever came to see anything. The last thing she which was even close to being alive was the last meal that had apparated into her cell, and that had happened a few days ago. She ticked them all off in her mind, Wolf, Meg, Marci, Ilana, Lucky, Rowena, she had seen them all defeated. No, not defeated.
Tricked.

Voldemort ignored Wolf's cry, and Wolf was angry. She stood up, ripping the chains that bound her out of the wall. Now was the time to act... She wasn't going to wait any more. "I'm coming for you!"

Lucky looked around his cell. His blood dried along the floor. A basket sat in the corner with the top coverd which he had never see before. He gazed at it for a moment and then for some reason realized he should not look inside.
Voldermont came and said, "Why what is awrong yougd Dumbledore. I can see you won't live up to your grandfarthers great expectation. NEVER!" He screamed.
Lucky jumped.
"You have NO power here. If you gave me the power you hold, then I could let you free."
Lucky's Vocie sounded as though he was in much pain and his voice even cracked a little. He then said. "I will never give my powers to someone like you. I would never give in to evil. Never."
Voldemonts mouth opened wide and he yelled. "Why must you all be so complicated, all I ask is for power. WHY?"
He began to walk away and then said; "Oh and Lucky, one of your favorite animals is in that basket, please do open it soon."
Luckys mind now was full of disappiontment and grief, even scared. He knew that snakes were in the basket. He knew that if someone didn't get him out of here soon. He could end up like others, going insane.
OOC:This is a GREAT topic!

Ilana rocked to and fro; she hugged her knees to keep warm, repeating to herself, she will not surrender to the dark. It was hard, the damp floor she was sitting on was hard and the cold air around her was merciless, whipping up every so often like lashes. The days seemed endless, forever. There was no light so she couldn�t tell how long it had been. She had been in this prison for what seemed like eternity, only seeing Voldemort when he came to question her and forced her to reply, but so far he failed, she kept quiet, she hadn�t spoken, not a word, ever since the day Hogwarts fell, only screamed when the pain afflicted on her got too much.
She leant back against the wall, the rattle of her chains echoed. She clutched her ruby necklace tight thinking of her friends and how this would eventually some day come to an end. She had a strong belief in how all things finally resolved them selves. Voldemort had tried to take the necklace away, but there was a strong charm around the rubies and their holders, no one could take them unless the owner willing gave it up. Her thoughts were interrupted by a yell in the distant. Ilana had been accustomed to screaming from the other dungeons. At first, she cringed and tears fell for those being hurt, but eventually she learned to black out the sound, but this time the scream was different.
It was full of spirit.
OOC: I have been thinking for a while of about leaving the boards, and killing my character off, but this has a very slim chance of happening. However, this topic presents a very good opportunity, so if I do, please don�t be too surprise. This is like a little pre-warning so you won�t be too surprise/shock if I do decide to. But more than likely I�ll just be taking long breaks and posting less frequent. Things have to get a little extreme for me to leave completely and kill Ilana off; I miss the boards and RP too much. ^.~

Kaila took a deep breath and her body shuddered as she exhaled. I could have prevented it, she thought to herself, looking out at the desolate landscape that had once been the Forbidden Forest. She rubbed her forehead and fell back in the seat of the car, exhausted. "Are we almost there?" she asked the driver.

OOC: Nooooo! Don't kill Ilana!
"VOLDEMORT!" The scream took Meg by surprise. It obviously took Voldemort by surprise, too - his expression didn't change, but a gasp of surprise was released from his thin lips. Only Abigail remained indifferent. "I'm coming for you!" Wolf? Meg's eyes lit up, as they had not done for a long time, the beginnings of a smile formed on her lips. But the smile faltered as she saw Voldemort turn to Hexe. "Silence her!" She didn't like to think what that meant for Wolf.

Garnet peered through the trees of the forest, her large, golden-hazel eyes brimming with tears. She hadn't seen Hogwarts for at least two weeks - but in that time, it had transformed from the cheerful place it had once been.
The attack on Hogwarts had taken place during a full moon, and Garnet had been in the Shrieking Shack at the time. By the time she had returned, it was already over. When she emerged from the tunnel under the Whomping Willow, the first thing she'd seen was the back of a Death Eater, who had been patrolling the grounds. Bloody, mangled bodies were lying in heaps on the grass. She'd guessed pretty quickly what had happened.
Since then, Garnet had been living in the Forbidden Forest - she had considered going back to the Shrieking Shack, but the place was really haunted now, inhabited by the restless souls of murdered students who were too frightened to return to Hogwarts, to Voldemort.
Now she stared out at the castle, wide-eyed and shaking slightly. Could she have done anything to stop it?

Crystal ran from one corridor to the next, ignoring the stabbing pains enveloping her whole body from fighting off the Death Eaters, along with the heavy rain splattering the tall windows, followed by claps of thunder. Her robes were ripped and torn, a thin trickle of blood ran down her parched lips, her heart was still pounding furiously from the Cruciatus curse the Death Eaters had performed on her, and her entire body was feeling numb from her many encounters that day with dementors. Left...right...left... I've got to find everyone... she thought, a half-formed plan in her mind, though she knew she couldn't do it alone. A few distant shouts and screams sounded in the background, drowned by another loud clap of thunder, along with a bolt of lightning. I can't let them find me...

OOC: Seek can we use our elemental powers?

OOC: No, Voldemort has the cells protected against them, so we can't use any kinds of magic in there.

Lying still, Nehc's body was as cold as it was half a year ago, when Voldemort finally found him. Again, he was dead. Again, it wasn't forever.
Nehc blinked and opened his eyes, as if awoken from a long sleep. He knew exactly what happened, he knew what had gone wrong, he had learnt from his mistakes. Now, it was time for payback.

"Rowena?" Roz's mouth formed the words but not sound came out. "Wolf?" If they can shout, they can hear. Mustering up her energy, Roz prepared to shout. "Wolf! Rowena!" It took a few minute for the dull pain in her throat to disappear, as soon as it had, she called for her friends once more. "It's me, Roz." Ever the optimist, Roz managed a tearful, weak smile "It's time we got out of this place."

OOC:Seek, Sorry for controling Hexe a little in this post, but I'm assuming she came to my cell.
As Hexe opened the door, Wolf charged at her, knocking her to the ground with a simple hit to the stomache. "I'm sorry," Wolf whisperd as she ran into the hall. She Whirled the chains that were still attached to her wrists. Her wrists were now bleeding, but the pain was not felt. Only anger, and rage.
Wolf ran down the hall, the chain's deadly hiss sounded like a snake, poised for attack. Meg's cell was first, and Wolf barged through the door, coming face to face with Voldemort. The chains whirled faster as adrenaline rushed into Wolf's body. "You!"

Finally managing to see, Nehc looked at himself, at what had remained of him.
First, he had grown some facial hair. Like those guys in the muggle movies Nehc liked, who looked as if unshaved for weeks, after spending one night at a pub.
Second, he didn't have his usual wizard-wear, the one he wore "to his funeral", as Voldemort himself said.
'Voldemort' he thought to himself. 'I must revenge them. My friends, my family, my life.'
Nehc wore a muggle-made jacket with a hood, just like he liked. Voldemort, he guessed, would see it as a disgrace to the dead pure-blooded wizard to be buried in muggle-wear.
Nehc put the hood on his head, deciding to walk towards Hogwarts.
'The answer to it all shall be there. it must be.'
As he looked now, Nehc truly was a renegade. A specter for his friends, a shadow of his old life, a living nightmare for his enemies.
OOC:Noooo! Don't kill Ilana off!

Lucky yelled at the topic of his lung. "HELP ME SNAKES!!!" From all this excitment he was going insane and he passed out on the floor.

OCC- Cool topic :)
BIC- Katia had been one of the lucky ones, hiiden in the magical room. It was a latch ditch effort of Dumbledore and the other teachers to save what remained of thier students. By putting all thier magic into it even Voldemort couldn't open it. It would take a very strong magic to open it. Many students had died or gone crazy from th dark. It was always dark. The dungeon was right above them, they heard death at all hours. Katia kept alive by knowing some of her friends were still out there. They were out there fighting. Katia wished more than anything that she could help them. But she was trapped by the very thing that had saved her life. When Wolf's yell came to her ears she at first thought it was another scream of death. It took a minute but she reconized it as Wolf's! They were there! "They're There!" Katia screamed. No one paid attention, they thought she had just snapped like all the others. Katia tried once again to open the door. "Its useless Katia." She said to herself. Her heart burned with anger, people needed HER! "PLease let me help them! PLEASE!" Katia cried. She banged her head on the door and it opened. Katia was shocked! But she quickly slipped through the narrow opening nowing the magic seal would be back in a few minutes. "I'm coming..." Katia wispered as she steped into Hogwarts looking for not revenge, but closure.

The first yell triggered of a series of other yells. Outburst of words and not screams of pain, Ilana lifted her head towards the sound, she recognized the voices, they were so familiar. 'Wolf?' she thought to herself, then she heard two other shouts, 'R.. Rowena and Roz.' Events were finally progressing on.

Artimus stood infront of Wolf and raised his hand. Wolf flew into her cell the chains back on her hand and legs. The cell door closes.
"Don't you think we are prepared for this sort of thing, I helped Voldemont get you all. Death Eaters Stand Guard. I just heard a certain boy scream for help. I better go ummm.....torture him."
