Selena walked the familiar path by the Great Lake once more that day. Over the past month she had been becoming more and more nervous. Because of this, she had been taking long walks in the fresh air in an attempt to calm her nerves. She had taken so many walks, that she had found herself walking the same path every day without quite thinking about it. Call it a muscle memory perhaps.

This time, she had tucked a notepad under one arm before leaving the castle. Her feet found the familiar path quickly enough and she had begun to walk along the lakeside. After a while, she stopped and turned out to gaze at the lake. All she did was stare at it for a bit, unmoving. The sun glinted off the water in different patterns. To anyone who came past Selena, it would seem that she was staring at the water doing absolutely nothing. This could not be counted as true however. In her head, she was quite busy.
Selena thought about her classes and all her new experiences here at Hogwarts so far. She was quite glad that she was here. Secretly, she had been worried before getting her letter about not getting one. She thought perhaps that she would be the only one besides her mother that wouldn't ever see the owl with the letter admitting her to Hogwarts. It was a foolish worry, as most worries were though.
Finally, shaking herself out of her daze, she broke her eye contact with the water. Selena sat down underneath a tall tree and took her notepad into her lap. She began to sketch mindless and abstract patterns across the page without fully thinking about it. There had been a time in which she had been self-conscious about her drawings, erasing every line she made before crumpling the paper up. She had fixed that problem by taking the erasers out of her pencils. Now, she drew without hesitation as she sat under the tree, not caring how much time would pass before getting back to the castle.

The teen walked with his orange feline along the path of the great lake. When Loki is by his side, he didn't feel alone. A soft smile toward his beloved feline then casting his gaze outward, those the rippling water. The whitewash crashing into the shore, the darkness of the waves hid the beauty of the lake away.
A look as he came to a halt. Loki bu his side. There wasn't quite anything that came close to the feeling of water mist brushing aginest your skin on a pleasant day. Drawing in a breath as the lad closed his eyes.
Salt mix with the fresh smell of dirt and grass, mixing through his nostrils. The aquatic smell of scales and scent of lone feathers that fallen from a passing owl. The oder of a another person far from where he stood. The blissful moment of aloneness that faded away with a scent that was familiar.
Henry opened his eyes, drawing in anorher breath as he walked along the path. Following his nose. Loki by his side, amber eyes scanning ahead. Moments passed, the teen thought it was a mistake after all he is still a young werewolf but his eyes caught the figure ahead.
A glance down at Loki who nodded with a sginle meow. The two walked on, apporching the figure who turned out to be a girl. Stopping inches from her. Henry studied her for a moment as he spoke"hello, I take it you enjoy this path to?" A soft smile as he mauled over the words to speak to her, wanting to offer a place to help and protect her. A family within the walls of the school that understood her.

Her pencil raced across the page with a certain grace that showed in the sketch. As she drew, she realized she was drawing without knowing exactly what it was she was drawing or how it would end up. Her hand brushed against the paper, softly shading parts in and leaving others completely untouched by her work. When she was near finished with it, she noticed for the first time what it was that she had drawn subconsciously. It was the image of a wolf, and not just any wolf. It was one she knew very well, because it was her. The monster she had drawn was who she was at heart. It pained her to look at the drawing, knowing that soon she would once again become the wolf.
With every ounce of agony she felt inside, she tore the page out, crumpled up the paper, and threw it to the side. A single tear slipped down her face as she watched the wind softly create ripples in the water. The scenery around her was so beautiful, and somehow the beauty reminded her of the monster she really was. No one would understand why she was crying now, which was why she loved the secluded area she currently was in.
A voice suddenly startled her out of her daze. Selena quickly wiped away the few tears that lingered on her face before turning towards the boy who had spoken. "Yes, I enjoy this path. I come here quite often. It provides a place of peace and quiet I can use to draw or just to think things over." She was saddened by the knowledge that if he knew who she really was, he would be running as fast as he could away from her and wouldn't be nearly as nice as he was currently.
He introduced himself as Henry Knight, and the cat at his ankles as Loki. "I'm Selena Arden. Loki is quite a handsome cat, where did you get him from?" she asked. Selena loved felines, and wanted to own one herself someday. Someday being whenever her parents finally agreed to it.
