The Yule Ball

Maik shrugged and put a mask on. " Suit yourself." she pulled the hood of her cloak on for effect. She turned to Sonia " What do you think? scary?"

"Ms. Maik, I've stood down dementors. I don't know the meaning of that word." Sonia said with a smile. She was obviously joking around.

" Maybe if i breathe like Darth Vader." Maik suggested and began breathing heavily and creepily

Sonia shook her head. She was aout to say something but a spell hit her in the back and sent her flying across the room. She landed hard against the wall. Slumping to the ground she moaned.

" Sonia!" Maik yelled and ran over, blasting a random spell into the dark

Sonia stood shakily. "I'm fine" she lied. "Come on. Show yourself, you wuss." she demanded.

Maniacle laughter filled the air surrounding Maik and Sonia. A voice that made Sonia's skin crawl replied. "What fun would that be?"

" I know fun! and this isn't it you bastard!" Maik yelled

The laughter doubled. Whoever it was was having fun. "Aw, come on Hubert. Your parents at least tried to put up a fight."

Maik's eyes glared crimison. " You're making me angry!"

Sonia closed her eyes. concentrating she felt power welling up as he went to fire at her again. She dodged it. "Better?"

The laughter stopped. Tension rose. "Actually yes."

Maik shot a spell in the general direction that the man had fired from

The spell just barely missed it's target. The light from the spell only revealed the tattered sleeve of a lack cloak. "Ah, and aren't you the one that wants to be an Aroura?" the voice asked tauntingly.

Sonia shot a spell into the dark. It illuminated nothing considering it had been a black magical spell.

Maik's eyes got even redder. " fool. LUMOS!" suddenly light filled the chamber

There was a high pitched screech as a black cloaked figure was revealed.

At the screech SOnia fell to the floor covering her ears. "AH!!!" she yelled.

" Stupify!" Maik yelled and a beam of light hit the figure

The figure fell to the ground dead still. Sonia slowly uncovered her ears. She looked once at Maik before rushing forward. HE WOULD DIE!!!

" Sonia! Be carefull!" Maik ran after Sonia, her eyes fading back to blue again

Sonia could not hear Maik. She pulled her wand out and held it to the figure's head. She muttered a spell in latin. Her wand gave off black sparks and the figure's body jolted. Sonia smirked. "I take it you don't like pain." she said as the figure groaned.

Maik caught up to Sonia. " Who is that?"

Sonia's blue eyes were black. she turned to face Maik. "Don't care. He killed my parents."
