Creeper In The Night

[Evangelina Katsaros]

Evangelina really knew better than wandering around randomly as such a late hour but she really couldn't find any time sooner than this to leave her best friends house. Especially when she had been feeling so sick as of late. For the past several hours she had been laying down on the couch inside her best friends house feeling so ill and miserable that she wanted to do nothing more than cry. It wasn't till just less than half an hour ago that she was feeling even slightly well enough to get off the couch and start to walk all the way home. This was going to be one of the last times she ever went out to visit a friend until she was one hundred percent sure that she was completely healthy and able to remain hours without getting or feeling sick. The night air was slightly chilly thanks to the fact that it was nearing closer to Evie's favorite season winter day by day. The thin cardigan that she had on was not enough to keep her body warm as she was only swear a dress and a pair of boots on right now. Evangelina had expected to leave her friends house much earlier than this so she didn't wear anything warmer that a cute little dress. Turning down a dark street her boots clicked against the cobblestone street carefully. There wasn't a single person to be seen anywhere on the streets so it was quite to the point where even Evie could hear her own short breaths coming from her mouth. Surely if another person was lurking about they could too. Evangelina was a pretty and young female so she needed to keep her eye out for creeps or anyone who could possibly bring her any harm.

'Ugh I'm started to feel sickish again.'Evangelina thought to herself weakly as she continued to quickly make her way down the extremely quiet and spooky looking street. About halfway down the streets a chill creped up her spine and Evie pulled her Cardigan over her a lot more. Usually whenever she felt chills it meant that she was being watched or followed. Evangelina's black doe eyes looked around the streets for a moment before she sighed and rubbed her stomach slightly. She saw no one so she figured all was well.

 

[Hades Styx]

Things could not be sweeter for the Death Eater, Hades Lutrov. He could easily stalk someone by hunting them down and finding them by means of activities. After a little while, he had been lurking around in the information that the Zhefarovich's held on their allies. He was amazed with what he had found, and knew that this would be an interesting event. Hades recalled that event just a few short hours ago, after leaving Anastasia's store after constant watch, Hades was allowing her some limited freedom from his onyx eyes from the shadows. He had to keep an eye on her, as she was pregnant with his daughter. Hades now watched the little harbor called Obsidian Harber from the rooftops of the shops. The one he was currently standing on was a little slanted but he did an excellent job at keeping his balance. Hades was almost a professional at walking on rooftops. In fact, he preferred them over sidewalks. He pictured it as a crow watching the idiots from below before swooping in to kill them. That was how Hades managed to get the upper hand in polyjuicing as an Auror to trick Hollace into giving herself up to him, and spawning with him.

Now, he was watching this younger girl walk down the streets alone at night. The way she walked was familiar. The likeness of Anastasia was uncanny. This had to be her sister, Evangelina. Hades' white lips curled into a smirk. The young teenager looked cold, and he took a mental not that this was Autumn and he was wearing a trenchcoat that would block out the gusts that could chill him. Though Hades was used to more violent and disastrous winters and all from the tops of Russia. He wondered how exactly he could approach her. He enjoyed scaring a young teenager from time to time, and she had to be careful of who could be lurking around these parts. Hades was one of the worst that could be run into. Hades stepped off of the rooftop, his hand grabbing onto the hard gutter, slowing his fall and released. His boots landed with a soft thud. Upon glancing up, he was in front of the teenager, her dark eyes reminding him of his obsession. He was at least a good fifteen feet from her. He intoned, his voice musical and cold as well purring into the night, "Never walk about here at night, Katsaros. You could run into someone dangerous." He had to be nice to her though, or as nice as someone like Hades could ever get. They might be related through marriage one day, if Hades had his way with this life of his and Evangelina's older sister.

 

[Evangelina Katsaros]

Evangelina halted her stomps and froze when she heard the sound of feet hitting the ground somewhere around her, it actually sounded like boots but she couldn't be sure. When probably the creepiest voice she ever heard sounded throughout the streets she jumped a little and readied herself to book it in the other direction if she needed to. Her blackened eyes locked onto a figure out fifteen feet from her before she felt like she was going to be sick again. This is what she gets for being a good friend and going out to visit someone when they were in need. Now she was probably going to get kidnapped or murdered. Her blackened doe like eyes widened in worry as she carefully began to take a few steps back away from the man that was so close to her. It was hard to see him very clearly in the dark but she could see him slightly and that was enough alone to make her become worried. He looked like one of those beings that would only be alive in in her deep nightmares or dreams. 'I'll be damned if I'm going to go down without a fight though.' Evie frowned and gently brought her hand up to brush some of her dark hazel colored hair out of her face, the bracelets on her arm clacked together as she moved it around. He knew her name and that was what unnerved her the most. Most girls would probably stand there like idiots and ask how he knew her name but Evangelina wasn't that much of a fool like this guy may have assumed she was. It was either flee or die and thats exactly what Evangelina had done.

Without another word or care the dark haired beauty turned and booked it back in the direction that she had come from originally. Her semi-long legs carried her as fast she could possibly force herself to run. It didn't matter that she was wearing a dress or that she was feeling so sick and tired at the moment. Her objective was just to get away from that guy and hopefully find a better route home. Apparating would probably not help her much either since she was semi bad at it when she was stressed. Splinching herself was not something she wanted to do. Continuing to run as quickly as she could she wasted no time in Turning her pale face back in the direction of the man as she tried to get a glance to see if he was following her or not.

 

[Hades Styx]

Hades could not resist letting out a cold and dark laugh as the teenage girl had the intelligence in her to run from someone like him. I have hope for the generation yet, mused Hades in his mind. Though he glanced over her attire as she ran off, and knew that she couldn't run that fast with heels on. This would prove to be funner than he assumed. Hades wondered what he should do, run after her which would prove to make the chase even more invigorating, or just apparate in front of her so that things would end quicker. Hades glanced up at the sky for a moment, and his lips curled into a wicked smirk. He apparated to the rooftops, and there, he started to run. He could feel the weapons from within poke him but he had cases on them all so that he would not get harmed by them by simply running. He jumped and aided himself with some magic to help him travel the distance. He glanced down, listening to her footsteps pound the cobblestone below, yet his own steps were light as a feather. This was proving to be much more fun than the average victim of stalking. Last time he stalked a younger girl, he managed to tease her but the clumsy girl managed to knock herself down when she ran into him.

Glancing down, he saw that he was even with her, before he decided that she would manage to run herself to death and pass out before he was even tired. The night gave Hades energy, whereas in the day time, he did not have much energy like this at all. Hades apparated from the rooftops and reappeared not too far from Evangelina. He folded his arms across his chest, with a look on his face like a father disappointed in a daughter. Hades had apparated in front of her, yet giving her plenty of distance to skid to a stop. He stated, "That is no way to greet the father of your niece that should be born within the next few months. I am not going to kill you, if that is what you are afraid of." Well, there is more than just that to be afraid of when it comes down to Hades being around. They would have to be worried over being kidnapped, being humiliated, being torn apart, and being investigated by him. Hades chuckled, "Ah, another Greek Goddess I see. Pleasure to have you frightened with my appearance alone." Hades bowed his head slightly, though almost mockingly. It was hard to tell what he truly meant by action and words alone. Barely anyone understood the actions from this man. Why he had to do certain things to gain what he truly desired. And now, he could experiment with this girl. See if that electrifying touch was in the family's blood or just Anastasia's. How to do that, Hades was figuring it out as he stared the young girl down.

 

[Evangelina Katsaros]

Evangelina immediately skid to a halt in her running when the man apparated from the rooftops and reappeared not too far in front of her. He had his arms folded across his chest, with a look on his face like a father disappointed in a daughter. To be honest it scared her enough to make her blood feel frozen inside her very own veins. He then spoke to her with his voice still as chilling and cold as it was the first time he spoke to her. His words confused her for a moment when he mentioned being the father of her niece. She easily understood the not killing her part which she was thankful for, but the other part stumped her for a good while. Then finally it hit her and Evie's dark eyes widened slightly before once again she made sure there was a bit of distance from her and the man in front of her. "Y-you know where my sister Ana is?" Evangelina asked him with both worry and irritation filling her voice more and more by the minute. Was that where she was right now? Living or doing whatever with this man, and having a baby? For a moment the Seventh year didn't know what to think since she did of course care for her sister but a part of her made her wonder why Anastasia didn't bother to let her know? Unless this man was keeping her hostage or something. And if that was the case he was going to hear it from Evie. Evangelina felt another chill run up her spine before she shuddered and noted that she still felt really sick. She had to try her absolute best will possible to fight off the nausea and keep her tiredness and dizziness from the man so he wouldn't know how weak she was feeling right now. Of course he told her he wasn't going to kill her but how was she supposed to trust this guy?

"Cut the bulls**t and tell me what you want if you aren't here to kill me." Evangelina demanded as she continued to move away by taking a slow step back every chance she could manage. She wanted to distance herself and make sure that if he was here to bring her any harm she could get away just maybe. Chances were slim but she would try with every fiber of her being. However what she didn't know was that Hades or this man rather would be a very important person if he continued to be with her sister. Evangelia didn't know or understand the obsession he felt for Ana and would probably wouldn't want to understand. She was still in her last year of Wizarding school so she had much better things to worry about then creepy-a** stalkers, obsession, and even love. Or so she thought.

 

[Hades Styx]

Hades raised an eyebrow at her words about where Anastasia was. That was quite odd. Hades rolled his onyx eyes and retorted, "No, I don't know where she is, yet I am in some sort of relationship with her. No offense intended, but that is an obvious question with an obvious answer." Hades uncrossed his arms and wondered if this girl needed some time to think and she was distracted by someone that looked so...creepy and stalkerish, which was precisely what Hades was. Hades was a creepy stalker as well. People usually found that out the hard way. When he stalked, there was always a purpose, a reason behind everything. And he was going to do his experiment upon Evangelina which would require her to stay still and that would be it. He would have to make his hand touch her flesh and that would be the end of the experiment, no matter how bad that sounded. Hades did not care, for he knew what he needed to do, and he was determined to do just that. This was needed, and he just wondered if Anastasia had an older brother, which he started to think that she did, and wonder how that would end up. An older brother would be nuts to approve of Hades for his little sister. Hades had experience with dealing with people like that, he would have some fun in the end. He did not know what to expect from Evangelina though, as she seemed a little too jumpy to be related to Anastasia.

"Actually, I do know where she is, but it is curious as to why she has not informed you of her whereabouts and all. I assure you then, she is in good hands," Hades informed the young girl. This family worked differently than his own, and he did not mind that really. This just made things a little more interesting than normal. Hades took a step closer to Evangelina and his tone changed from his normal cold voice that would give chills to something a little sharper than before, "Hush that tone, young woman. Moments ago, you were running, so don't bother trying to cover up your worry and fear with sudden false bravery. Though try to run away all you will, but I will continue to block your path." This behavior seemed a little similar to him. All too similar. Hades continued to step closer to her, his mocking appearance gone and his more evil appearance taking over for the time being. Something about the night brought this out in him, not to mention someone has not run from him yet. This would just take a moment of her time, if she obliged. "Actually," Hades mused, "you are acting similar to Anastasia when she was first showing signs of pregnancy. Would you happen to be bearing a future niece or nephew for Anastasia?" Hades knew how similar sisters and all acted when they were around each other, and often pregnant around the same time. They acted alike. Though if she were pregnant at that age, that would be something to be worried about. "My purpose for being here, it is simple, a little experiment that would require a moment of your time. I promise you, I would not harm you or kill you. Though I have been known to do both, and carry out promises as well."

 

[Evangelina Katsaros]

Evangelina rolled her darkened eyes at the creepy man before her. If he wanted to be rude and sarcastic with her then she was going to act that way right back at him. "How was I supposed to know you actually had a relationship with her? For all I knew it could have been a one night stand so lay off." Evangelina crossed her arms over her chest and narrowed her eyes at the man in front of her as she let her hormones and fear blend together to make sure she had a chance at avoiding a cowardly move. He also told her he knew exactly where she was and that he was curious as to why Anastasia had yet to contact her, that was exactly what Evie as wondering herself. Did the woman think it was not necessary or that she was too good for her family now? He said that she was in good hands though and for some reason she found herself believing him. "Do me a favor next time you see her then, tell her to write me back for once." Evangelina responded back softly to the m an before she let her dark eyes avert to the ground for a moment, she didn't really want her sister to know but right now she seemingly felt so much more lonely then she ever had. Of course she had given away something extremely special to her and every other girl out there, she had given it to a guy she thought she had chemistry with. It was a little over two months and she hadn't seen or heard from Kyne at all, she still had his shirt and everything but for some reason she hadn't mustered up the courage to bring it back to the club. Then again all she had to do was bring it to the bartender guy, but she really wanted to give it back to him herself. Evangelina almost shuddered when she heard the man tell her not to cover her worry and fear with false bravery, how was he able to read her like that?

Er..what? I'm not pregnant dude." Evangelina muttered out with a raised eyebrow as she glanced down at her thin and still flat stomach. Sure she had been showing signs of pregnancy but she could have also caught a bug thats been going around the school and such. However one could not be too sure since she had spend a night with Kyne. She would just have to take a test or find some proof that she was before she panicked. Having a baby was definitely not on the top of her to-do list anytime soon. "Fine, do whatever you need to." Evangelina had to force herself to forget about the fact that she could possibly be with child and onto the fact that the man wanted her to spare a moment or two so he could experiment with something. The word experiment worried her but she didn't let it show as she stood there. Another cold child causing her body to feel numb and cold.

 

[Hades Styx]

Hades thought for a moment, and she had him there. Shrugging lightly, he said, "Actually, that was what it was supposed to be. But something came up, and now I can't allow anyone to have her, if you want to hear that." The way he said it was not only insane, but creepy and dark as well; as if he would do anything to not let someone else have her, and that he would come through with. Well, he already had in a strange way. He already killed the two men that touched her. He wondered if Evangelina would believe him though he was good at lying as he had managed to do with Jaken, one of the most stubborn men he had met in his life, he was telling the truth right now to the young Durmstrang girl. Hades thought over her request and he nodded once, "I will pass the message next time I go to see her." His lips twitched lightly as he smirked faintly. He liked making things less than known rather. Leaving people wondering what what entertained him. When it came to people like him, Hades liked to wonder what absurd things they were thinking. It left them to their own paranoia and it was funny to watch them freak out.

Raising an eyebrow once more, he wondered if she were naturally this fired up or if she had similarities of that of Anastasia. Hades stated, "If you are still pure, then you don't have anything to worry about, but if you have done something over the past month or two, I would advise going to go check just in case. You can never be too sure." Hades hoped that she was not pregnant at a young age. Granted, he had a young boy, but he was also young when he had him as well. Plus, she was still in school, getting ready to graduate. That would surely ruin any plans she had. Hades slowly approached her, and he purred, "I need you to hold still." Hades stood within inches of her now, and surely this would cause some nervousness. Softly, the back of his ghostly white hand grazed her cheek, and he waited for a moment. He had to see if that electricity ran through the blood. Alas, there was nothing but the warmth of her cheek. Nothing invigorating. He folded his arms across his chest, and he took a step back. Hades intoned, "Experiment is over." He had done nothing to her, did not harm her or kill her. Just simply grazed her cheek with his hand, and he felt nothing. So, it was just Anastasia that caused him to be this way. This was interesting news indeed. "Head home, before you cross someone more dangerous than I. The only reason why I have not attempted to scar you is because I have respect for your sister." Assuming she would run off after this, he would stand there and watch her depart, until she was out of his sight and he would go about his own way.

 

[Evangelina Katsaros]

Evangelina raised an eyebrow at the creepy man gently when he told her that the thing between him and her sister was only supposed to be a one night stand. So now it seemed like he was attached to the woman or something. As long as she wasn't killed or harmed to an extreme Evie figured she could trust him for now. Even if Evangelina thought the idea of forming some sort of bond with someone you planned to have a one night stand with was stupid. Then again you could never help it if you ended up liking someone or for some odd reason ended up needing them. She just didn't seem much point in planning to hook up with a person for one night then turning around and wanting to be with them for as long as you have feelings for them. It just confused her is all, was the person just wanting fun or an actual soul mate? As she looked at this guy she frankly wondered if the word soul mate was even programmed into his system. He looked more like the time to look down upon love and genuine feelings then. At least he was willing to pass on the message to Anastasia for her. If she wasn't going to be seeing much of her sister because of this guy she would at least like to hear from her every once and a great while. Especially now that she was going to be an auntie to some little baby. Never did Evangelina think she'd see the day that her sister actually found a man for herself. Now she could only wonder what was going to be of Hermes and herself. For some reason she didn't see herself finding a guy anytime soon and with her brother god only knows with what he does these.

"Hmph, fine." Evie didn't really feel like explaining or telling him that she had in fact spent the night with a guy more than a couple of months ago so that didn't exactly make her pure. So she decided that she would check and make sure that she wasn't pregnant once she got home. Also something she didn't really want to tell the man because she hated that he seemed to know stuff while she was standing here clueless. Once all of that was said and done the dark creepy man told Evangelina that he needed to her hold still, this must have been his experiment. As soon as he was within inches of her Evie tensed visibly in fear. what on earth was he doing? Softly, the back of his ghostly white hand grazed her cheek and Evangelina shuddered. That was the experiment? What on earth was that for? He didn't even bother to explain what the whole cheek touching thing was before he told her that he wanted her to head home before she crossed someone more dangerous then even he was. Evangelina nodded softly before she took a step back quickly, then another and another until she was running at full speed back into the direction of her home and away from the man.
