Calming stroll near the water ((open to all))

[abcdefg]

Isabella wondered around the lake. She was walking slowly. Her body felt kind of weak. She wanted to see Gyan so she could talk to him. She wished he would come by. At this point she wished someone would come by. She felt like she needed to talk to someone about everything. She sighed as she kept walking.

She smiled at the water. It was so calming. She was happy around things that seemed calming. She felt calm and almost weak around water and hyper and strong around fire. She knew why but when her mind was unstable it tended to puzzle her. She sighed then picked a spot near the edge of the water. She put her toes in the water then sighed. A slight breeze rolled in and waved her reddish-brown hair around her face. Her green eyes went dull as she went into a slight trance staring at the crystal blue water. Fire sparked from her fingertips setting the ground around her ablaze.

Gyan.... why is this happening? He said he would give it a try now... now it seems like he doesn't want to have anything to do with me. She sighed as her eyes filled with salty wet tears. The flames were moving slowly around her. Almost as if someone had video taped the fire and played it in slow motion. Her eyes dazed as she stared at the water. The fire would pass through her vision every so often.

"What's wrong with me?" She whispered that to herself over and over. Her voice was calm it sounded as if she was about to kill someone. She didn't move though.

"This is all my fault. In her mind she kept repeating that. She sighed and kept repeating 'what's wrong with me' over and over. Her mind didn't settle. The fire grew stronger and stronger.

After a while the fire just stopped. She kept whispering over and over and her mind tumbled around that question over and over. She looked out across the lake and her soft green eyes looked emotionless as if she was in a trance. She just sat there waiting for someone to come up and talk to her.

[Tomas Wingly]

Tomas saw the flames from his position from the castle. He decided to run over without ever really formulating a plan for putting it out. That didn't appear to matter though because by the time he got over the hill and could see the lake the fire was gone. He headed down the path so he could see through the trees. Once he got to the shore, He could see Isabella sitting with her feet in the water. As he looked down to the ground he could see there were burn marks in the grass all around her.

"Hey" He said with a smile on his face as he sat next to her. "I thought I saw fire so I came running. You're not gonna believe it though. Sophia admitted she liked me granted she isn't exactly saying we should go out but it's a start. What's up with you and Gyan?" Tomas figured he should ask he was never one to be selfish.

[abcdefg]

As Tomas walked up she still repeated 'what's wrong with me' over and over. She kept repeating it till he said Gyan's name everything else just went in one ear and out the other. She actually didn't realize he was there. Her eyes returned to normal and she stop repeating it. She blinked a few times the looked at Tomas. She looked at him long and her as if trying to remember who he was. She smiled very weakly at him.

"Hi. I'm sorry. I wasn't myself a second ago. Could you repeat yourself" She managed to smile kindly at him as she shook her head. She was trying to shake all the thoughts thats was in her head out. She sighed heavily and waited for him to reapeat it.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan strolled out to the lake, quite a bit far from Tomas and Isabella. It was a beautiful day for a swim. He reached the edge and threw off his robe and kicked off his shoes. He was wearing a pair of solid black trunks and his hair was put back in a ponytail. He stretched for a minute, and then took a dive into the water.

It was pleasently icy, just enough to shake off the hot sun. He dove deeper and stopped. He was suspended there in the water, washing away his scabs, thoughts, and worries. It had been too long since he had a good swim. He propelled himself back to the surface and took a deep breath. He than floated for a little bit, only the top of his head seen, bobbing in the water.

[Tomas Wingly]

Tomas relized he kind of had rambled on without really giving her a chance to keep up. "I said. Sophia admitted she liked me she isn't exactly saying we should go out but it's a start. What's up with you and Gyan?"

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan took a deep breath of warm air and started to swim around the lake. Going back and forth, diving under occasionally, going back to shore for a drink from a water bottle in his bag. It was very pleasant.

He swam out to a small island and layed back on it. It was cool, wet rock, but it was smooth, and he stared up at the sky, resting a bit before going back to his swim.

Isabella looked over at Tomas and smiled.

"That's great! I'm glad you and her worked things out!" She smiled softly at him. Then looked out over the water. 'As for me and Gyan... I don't know. We kissed but he like ran away from me." She sighed then bowed her head and rested her chin on her knees. "I don't know." she sighed and looked out over the water.

Her head tilted and looked kind of confused. "Who is that?" She stood up then took off her robe then she set it down next to Tomas and looked at him. "Hold this and don't let it get wet! I'll be right back I want to see who that is." She squinted her eyes to try and see. "This is going to hurt like hell!" She snapped toward the water as she ran in. She dove a little ways out.

After swimming for a while She caught up to the other person. It was Gyan. She smiled at him struggling to keep herself afloat. The water was weakening her.

"Gyan... so that is who it is. I was... I w-was wondering." Her voice was shaky and she was stammering. She hesitated then gasped as her strength left. She blacked out then sunk.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan awoke and dove into the water. If they can't swim, they shouldn't just try and jump in. He found her, grabbed her by her underarms and pulled her onto the rock. He pulled his wand out of the strap on his leg and muttered "Ennervate"

"You could have just yelled." He said kind of sternly.

[abcdefg]

Isabella woke up and sat up a little. She coughed trying to gasp for air.

"I don't like yelling all that much though. I try and avoid it when I can." She smiled up at him as the sun twinkled in her green eyes. "I guess going in the water wasn't the smartest idea though. Since it weakens me so much huh?" She chuckled at her stupidity.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan just nodded, a strict, parent-like look on his face. He turned around and dove back into the icy water, paddling back to the shore where his stuff was. Why haddn't she just yelled, or signaled with her wand, or something?

[abcdefg]

She yawned and watched Gyan swim to the shore. She shook her head and laid back in the sun letting it hit her. The warmth was nice. It was helping dry her off.

She sighed as she started to pondered a few things. Why didn't I just yell? Hmm... I guess I just... She sighed. "I should just forget I like him. He obviously doesn't want anything to do with me." She spoke aloud not even realizing. She was too deep in thought. She closed her eyes and waited for something to happen next.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan scrounged through his bag and pulled out a towel he had nicked from the boys bathroom. He dried off and sat on the shore, his feet soaking in the water. The sun was bearing down on him, but he loved it.

He pulled out a hard leather bound, and well worn, sketch book and began to sketch the lake with a charchol pencil. He got to the island and began to draw it, including Isabella resting on the rock.

[Tomas Wingly]

Tomas decided it was time he left and headed off into the now pinkish sun.

[abcdefg]

Isabella looked over to where Gyan and Tomas were. She sighed as she saw Tomas leave. She threw her head back on her hands that were behind her head. She closed her eyes and basked in the sun since she was cold form the water. She just laid there listening to the water move and the wind blowing ever so often.

"Ok. First I have to find a way to get off this island without getting wet at all really. I'm really weak now so if go in water right now without a full nights rest I could pass out again. Luckily Gyan was there to help. Why didn't I call or something else?" She pondered it and felt her face get a little warm. She was either blushing or the sun was particularly nice in that area. "I must have thought he wouldn't come like he was trying to avoid me." She sighed as she whispered all this to herself. She was thinking out loud. She had a bad habit of that which got her into trouble sometimes but she didn't care. She couldn't change that. She didn't even know it was happening. She shook her head as she pondered more and more thoughts. The sun beating down on her keeping her warm she had kind of wanted Gyan over here so she could snuggle with him but she knew it was too much to ask. He probably wouldn't let her. She didn't think he liked her all that much from what had happened back at the Hut and on the lawn. She sighed and relaxed her body soaking in the warmth of the sun.

[Gyan Salamanece]

Gyan realised that she was going to have a tough time getting off that island. "Isabella, stay as still as possible!" he shouted. He raised his wand and said, "Wingardium Leviosa!" Isabella was slowly raised off of the rock and Gyan flew her to the shore.
