ll Achmed's 2nd Keeper ll Team Jacob l l Otaku ll Nicoli Vanhatck apparated to the secret grounds with a pop. Clad in surprisingly muggle clothes-jeans and a polo shirt-he stood out against the dark bark of the trees surrounding him. His pale skin reflected the natural light making it paler still, and yet the sun gave it a quality not usually seen. It was as though his face had stolen the serene beauty of the moon and contested the light of day with its purity.
Nicoli slipped his hands into his pockets and walked towards the small clearing in the center of the camp. His hair fell out before his eyes and he grinned. There was brightness in this innocent smile, but there was also shadow. A multi-layered smile, sullied by memories of years past in his childhood. Nicoli sat on a log. |
