Waiting to talk ((open to all))

[pyro]

Johana was heading toward the lake pondering a few things. She got to the water and smiled. She let the water embrace her feet as she sighed. What she was in waste deep she smiled. She loved the water. She took a deep breath then dived in. She came up and flung her hair to one side. She sunk into the water at just above her top lip. He hair was swaying freely in the water around her.

She took a deep breath through her nose then went under. Her long silver hair was trailing behind her and she was smiling to herself in the water. She came up again and floated lazily on the water and sighed. Her long silver hair spread out around he and would move just as the water did. She waited for someone to come along so she could talk to them. She didn't like being alone, in fact she was kind of scared to be alone. Every time she is alone she starts to think. She thinks about her life at the orphanage. Not the best memories, or how every family but that last one she had didn't want her. She shook her head a little making her hair way more.

She laid in the water waiting for someone to come by and talk to her. She had hoped they would come soon. The sun was shining down nicely on her. She was happy. It was warm and inviting.

Soon enough though bad thoughts crept its way into her silent mind. She didn't notice neither would anyone else since she was in the water but tears had started to stream down her face. She sighed as they continued and she just laid there hoping someone would come soon.

Sophia walked down to the Black Lake to sit and read while the water embraced her feat. She noticed someone in the water but decided not to speak. She just sat near the edge and read her book calmly waiting for either her to talk or someone else.

[Fork]

Fork trudged aimlessly around the grounds in circles, but was finally forced to stop as she nearly walked herself into the lake. She stumbled, her feet sticking in the muck at the edge of the water, and fell on her face in the mud. She lay there for several minutes, as the mud was quite pleasantly cool, but eventually stood up as she had to breathe. She sat up, looking curiously at the girl in the water, and debating whether or not to trudge into the water after her.

Johana heard someone fall and her head shot up causing herself to sink. She raced to the top of the water and saw the second year Gryffindor that was talking to Gyan near the trophy room. What was her name? She contemplated trying to remember what Gyan had said. FORK! She barked into her mind.

She swam close to edge, walking as it got shallower. She smiled and the blush girl who was silently reading and ignored her. She looked at Fork and smiled. "Hi." She greeted her plainly and plopped back down splashing the water on herself. She sat cross-legged and rested her arms on her knees. Her hair swayed a little in that water.

[Fork]

Fork scrambled back quite suddenly from the splash as the girl plopped down in front of her. She didn't mind water, as long as she was getting herself wet. After a moment, she crawled forward on all fours. She carefully reached out a hand, touching the girl's face disbelievingly. Fork rested her hand on the girl's shoulder, felt her pulse, and gingerly touched a strand of her silvery hair.

"Are... Are you real?" she ventured the question, sounding terrified that the answer might be no. "I ...want a moment to be real.*I don't want to dream anymore!" Fork drew back, clutching at her head as if it might split. "I want it to be real, tell me you're real!!!" She rolled forward onto her hands and knees again, almost crying the last sentence.

Why had the world suddenly turned so wrong? What was happening to her? Why couldn't she see anymore? Everything that had seemed so perfect, she had been able to think again, all that was stable, had suddenly come crashing to pieces. It was so wrong, so very,very wrong.


*The asterisked sentence is a quote from the Goo Goo Dolls song "I'm Still Here".

[[Gyan no offense but I would kind of like it if you came in a little later. Not to be mean or nothing but I would like it. You can join don't get me wrong but a little later. I'll tell you when you can join ok? Sorry about this but thanks.]]


Johana sat in almost shock at what had just happened. Even though Johana didn't know the girl at all she jumped up and wrapped her arms around Fork.

"It's alright, Fork! I'm real!" She didn't know what was going on. She was confused and scared. She kept getting flash backs of her life at different families houses. She shook the thought and continued to calm Fork down. "See," She said holding her tighter, not enough to hurt her though, so she knew she was real. "I'm real. Flesh and blood!" She wondered why she had went into a mental wreck. She started to stroke her shoulder blade hoping it would calm her down.

What is going on? I don't even know her yet I'm hugging her and trying to comfort her. She reminds me of something. Something I've forgotten. I just know it! I need to remember my past. Something has to link me to this! I need to remember before the orphanage!!! Thoughts were racing in her mind left and right. She didn't know what to do, what to say. She was in a situation where she was powerless and she wasn't liking the feeling but she pushed her feelings aside and tried to help this new strange girl who reminded her of something she'd forgotten. This strange strange girl, Fork.

[Fork]

Fork sat silently stunned for a few seconds as the girl hugged her. ...Maybe this was real? She seemed solid enough. Fork shook her head slightly. She was so confused. Hugging the girl back, she buried her head against her shoulder. "See...?" She murmured the one word, repeating what the girl had said.

[pyro]

Johana pushed Fork away from her a little but kept her hands rested on Fork's shoulders. She shook her head not knowing what to say. She stared at her long and hard. Then hugged her again.

She cried out in fear. She didn't know what was going on. "I'm real.. I'm here. Right here. Right in front of you!" She tried to fight back her tear. "Please. I need your help! I need you to help me remember something I've forgotten! I need help. Please." She couldn't stop the tears from rushing out of her eyes. She held onto Fork tight as if she would be sent to an empty void.

She shook her head sobbing on Fork's shoulder. "Please. This event reminds me of something. Something I've forgotten. Something I shouldn't have forgotten. Please!" She cried out. She was frightened. She didn't know what to do anymore. She was about to go insane almost trying to remember things she's forgotten. Things she can't remember on her own. She closed her eyes.

Just as she closed her eyes a vivid flash back of a woman with short silver hair just like Johana's was standing in a doorway looking down on something. There was a man with jet black hair standing next to her. She couldn't make out the faces but she saw that the man's hair changed to silver just like the womans and the womans eyes went from blue to green. They smiled down at something. They were saying something, but what? She couldn't tell. She couldn't see what they were looking at either. She just knew they were smiling awkwardly and there was concern in their eyes. Even when the woman's eyes changed color it still held concern.

Johana opened her eyes and stared at the trees behind them. She didn't know what that was. Who those people were. She freaked out in her mind. Things were racing back and forth. She didn't have answers. She cried harder burring her head into Fork's shoulder. "Help me please." She muttered into Fork's ear shaking.

[Fork]

"Something..." Fork raved disjointedly. "Something, forget something... Don't forget!" She shrieked suddenly, drawing back and holding her head in her hands. After a moment, Fork calmed, breathing slowly. "Forgetting is bad, " she chided Johana, "You should never forget what's important." Fork's eyes twitched violently and eerily for a few seconds. "..._{Can't see}..."she whispered, then: "Help. Fork will help, remembering is bad--forgetting!! Forgetting. No. Yes. Help..." Fork hugged Johana close, brushing tears from her face.


((If yu can't understand her, on't worry, she's not just talking random words she is tring to make sense. It's hard for her sometimes. :] ))

[pyro]

Johana just sat and stared at her while she was telling her all this. She smiled when Fork hugged her again. She hugged her tightly back.

"Thanks." Her hair tumbled down Fork's back as she held on to her. She didn't want to let go. She didn't understand it.

[Fork]

Fork rolled back on her haunches into a sitting position. She crewed up her face, trying to force her scattered brain back into order, trying to force her words to come out right. "What... Help, what help assist... No. What?" She decided to stick with that one word, the only one she could manage right now. Her words were getting lost somewhere between her brain and her mouth, and she wasn't surprised. The sunlight reflecting off the water in scattered, random shards, like splattered glass, was driving her hallucinating mind nuts.

[pyro]

Johana stared at Fork with a slight shocked face. She didn't know what to say. She shook her head watching the bottom twirl around in the water. She looked back at Fork with a scared look.

"I don't know. I honestly don't know." She hung her head in shame trying to push back the tears that were at the brim of her eyes. She tried though. She wasn't sure if she could do it for much longer.

[Fork]

Fork stared blankly into the distance. She looked at Johana when she spoke, but didn't appear to hear. With a sudden, spastic shudder, she flopped over onto the ground on her back, blinking silently at the sun.
