Marc us nodded. "Right, of course. I seem to always do that to people. No problems. Just gotta stick to your kind." Marcus shrugged, pursing his lips. So, he'd been rejected. Not bad. He could make her happy by obeying his law. It'd work out just fine.
"So, have fun. Enjoy reading Macbeth. Oh, if you want you can read this." Marcus carelessly held it out, balancing it on a couple fingers. He had backed up a few steps as to put maximum distance between them.
Charity looked at Hecate. She let out a bored sigh and rolled her eyes. "Honestly? Nothing would make me change. I'm not exactly up to changing at the moment. Currently, you're a nobody. Say Tom's name around here and you have people running for cover. I'm sure if we were back in the States, although God knows what I'd be doing there, I would want to be with you." Charity turned her body away, screaming that she wanted to leave this boring conversation. "So, to shorten that horribly long answer: Power. I'd need a hell of a lot of power to just switch sides. "

Lauren reached out for the book and accidentally brushed his fingers as she did. She felt her face grow a little hot as she realized what she had done, "I'm sorry." She muttered and then turned away from him, taking a few steps toward the Black Lake. She bit down on her lip pretty hard, causing a rush of blood into her mouth. She silently cursed herself for being so attached to Marcus. He was dangerous. She could see it now. But there was something that she couldn't tear herself away from in his eyes.
"I didn't mean that." She said as she turned around and continued walking backward. She hit a rock and awkwardly caught her balance and blushed again, "I just...You...We..." She finally gave up and shrugged.
"Then power it is." Hecate said and smiled to herself. She would get Charity Anderson on her side. She just had to continue to establish herself. She was already well on her way. It would only be a few more weeks now until she could implement her plan. Then Charity would change her mind, "I have errands to run." She said and pulled her hood over her face. She cast a look at Grayson and then nodded, "Don't destroy anything while I'm gone." She said and disappeared into the night with a pop.
Grayson breathed a sigh of relief when she was finally gone. He folded his arms across his chest and looked at Charity, "She's powerful, you know." He managed to say and then looked away from her. He wouldn't lie, he was mad that she had denounced him like he meant nothing to her. It had hurt. But he wouldn't let it show. Not now.

Marcus nodded. He could pretend he understood. Maybe he did. Possibly the same emotions were running through him at the moment. "Right, Lauren, it's alright. You didn't hurt me. No need to worry. I can take rejection." He offered her another smile to reassure her.
Charity nodded as she cracked her neck. "I know she is. But her power isn't stable. She has a few measly followers here. The Dark Lord is set and my power is constant. Not to mention I'm doing this for her own good. If I joined her know, when she doesn't have a huge force of people, and Tom found out? No more Hecate." Charity blinked a few times before she worked up the courage to look back at him.
"I found out a lot of things about you today, Grayson. You aren't who I thought you were and that's troubling. I'm not sure who it was I fell in love with."

"Rejection?" Lauren scrunched up her nose in mock-disgust, "Never. I'm not rejecting you. Just trying to figure you out. I'll get there eventually." She said and returned his smile. Although she wasn't sure where this relationship with Marcus was going, she expected that they could be friends in the least. Eventually. Once she got to know him better. But until then, they would continue this hot-and-cold, "Enjoy the rest of your day, Marcus. You know where to find me if you need me." Lauren gave him a playful salute and then turned to walk down to the Black Lake.
Grayson hadn't thought about it that way before. Perhaps Charity knew more then she let on. Maybe she would eventually join Hecate on her quest. He wasn't exactly sure. He was stunned by her next statement, however, his eyes narrowing as he stared at her, "Me?" He asked, shaking his head, "You have got to be kidding me Charity. Absolutely fu.cking kidding me." He breathed and took a few steps toward her, bridging the gap between them in a matter of seconds.
"You are the one who failed to mention that you're some sort of...some sort of Demon." Grayson narrowed his eyes as he got closer to her. He could feel his heart beating in his chest, "I feel like that's not something that most people take lightly."

Charity's eyes flashed red quickly before she reigned in her temper. "That doesn't change who I am or what I feel! Just because I'm a different species doesn't mean that the actions I took are different! I never had some secret motive of coming to Hogwarts! I never had some secret motive with the actions I took! I was 100% my self! You. Grayson, are someone else entirely! The actions you took, faking your brain being erased, makes you someone else. I can't be sure of what you said or what you did was even you. How do I know that you didn't do all of it just to get me down here? To get me to fall for a fake person so that your Master would be happy with you!"
Charity felt dangerously close to crying but held it back, shaking her head. "That scares me. To think the person I fell for, opened up to, is some fictional character."

Grayson was tempted to walk away right now. He didn't need Charity's attitude right now. He had enough stuff on his plate, "Everything that I said that I felt for you was never a lie." He said through his gritted teeth, "Everything. You can think what you want, Charity, but I know that it's true. Our relationship was never a lie to me. That was the only thing in my life that wasn't." He ran his hand down his face and then scratched the back of his neck.
He knew that most of what she was saying was the truth. He would do anything for Hecate. Not because he wanted to, but because he had to. It was in the vow that he took when he joined her a few years ago. However, he had told her from the start that he wouldn't betray Charity. After the first moment he had met her and her daughter Haylee, Grayson was already too emotionally invested. Hecate had been understanding, demanding that he find some way to make her plans still work. Thus...he found out about Quinn Emory. Everything spiraled out of control after that. He shook his head, shaking himself out of his own thoughts.

Charity wrapped her arms around herself and looked down at the green grass. Everything had been confusing ever since she had laid eyes on him. He'd always messed with her mind and right now wasn't any different. She bit her lip before she brought her eyes back up to him.
"So, the pressures on now. Do I trust you or not?" Charity searched for anything, a thread of possibilities and what would promise her something good. Yet, if she left him it would do her no good. Heart-ache and possible death. If she knew he hadn't cared for her i would be like a normal break up but Charity couldn't be sure.
On the other hand, if she stayed with him she'd put him in danger. A) Voldemort would NOT be happy and B) Hecate could use him against her.
"I don't know, Grayon, what should I do?"

Grayson took a long moment to look up at the trees and ended up counting to thirty seven before he looked back at Charity. He was between a rock and a hard place and he knew that she was too. It was like they were two star-crossed lovers...destined to either be together and die trying...or at least get seriously injured along the way. He ran his hand through his brown hair and then shrugged his shoulders, "Let's not pretend that I know what to do here. I don't know the first thing about relationships, Charity." He said with a smile that was anything but happy, "I can't tell you what to do. And I'm not about to tell you some cliche line about following your fu.cking heart." He dropped his gaze and stared at the bag that Hecate had left. He would have to return it to her eventually. She would be expecting him to do it.
"Charity." Her name escaped his lips and he frowned. Where had that come from? He wondered briefly.

Charity ran a hand through her hair and turned away from him. No matter who she fell 'in love' with they never turned out right. That was the way it should be. She was a demon. She wasn't human. She had no right to Grayson. She was almost certain that his soulmate was somewhere out there being... human.
"Right, Grayson, this is for your own good. It was nice, our relationship and all."

Grayson felt his body react before he did. He grabbed her arm and pulled her into him, their bodies crashing together like fire and ice for just a moment. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, the pairs crashing together and then almost fusing into one. He backed off slowly and brushed his lips against hers for another moment before he broke contact completely. There was something so right and yet so wrong about Charity Anderson. He turned away from her and looked up at the sky, cursing himself again. Why? Why did he have to do it?

Charity sucked in a breath after they broke contact. She let it out slowly, bringing her hand up to her lips. She hated him. Hated him with a passion. He always did that! The moment she was ready to walk he always pulled something that reeled her right back in. He just couldn't let her leave.
Her fingers felt the dampness and she pulled it away quickly. Emotions were a scary thing to feel. They made you do things unwillingly. Just like when Grayson had kissed her. Emotions shouldn't exist. Life would be so much easier.
Charity forward, grabbing Grayson and turning him around. Her hand reached out to slap him but stopped a few inches from his face and fell to his chest. Charity buried her face against him and held back a sob. "I hate you. Hate you. I hate you." She muttered brokenly. She wanted to pull away put she couldn't. All she could do was cling onto him, damning him to hell.

He had braced himself for the slap. When she had turned him around, he had been fully prepared to deal with Charity's rage. It wouldn't have surprised him...It had been a bold and dangerous move. Especially with her. But he knew that he couldn't help himself. It wasn't until her hand stopped and fell to his chest that he realized that he must mean something to her as well. They were like love-sick, mentally challenged puppies running around in circles, one trying to catch the other and yet at the same time, being afraid of what would happen if they actually did.
"Would it be wrong to say that I hate me too?" Grayson asked as he drew in a deep breath. He hated himself for loving her. Loving the one person that he was absolutely not supposed to fall in love with. He also hated the word love...but that was a different story. Was that so wrong? His hands ran through her long red hair, trying to make this moment last for as long as possible. Even though her words said she hated him with every fiber of her being, her actions were fueling Grayson, making him realize just how much raw emotion he felt for this...this....girl. He slowly exhaled and then closed his eyes tightly.

Charity slowly regained her composure as she pulled away. Look at her. Pressed up against Grayson crying her eyes out. That wasn't supposed to happen. She was supposed to be strong. To be the first one to walk away. That was how it has always been. That was the Charity she knew. She didn't know who this person was pressing against Grayson like some lost littlie.
"No, you have a right to. You're an asshole after all." Charity smiled as she increased the space between them. "Just tell me you don't want me an I'll leave. Simple as that."

"Mmmm. But that would be a lie. I don't want you to leave Charity. You know that. You don't want to leave either." Grayson retaliated. Every time she took a step away from him, he took one toward her. And so it went, the two of them at an impasse. Neither gaining nor losing space between them, "And if there is one thing that I have learned from my time at any school it is this: I must not tell lies, Charity Anderson." Grayson laughed slightly, "And so...I must tell you that I do want you. I do."

Charity groaned as she backed away from him. He didnt know what he was talking about. Grayson. Charity finally goaned loudly and ran a hand down her face.
"Grayson, I cant leave until you tell me you dont want me. Just lie to me then. I dont care. Judt please. You dont want me. You just enjoy torturing me. Okay? I'm in enough pain. Just let me go." Charity begged.
