Demonology & Heartache [Open]

[Holden J. Caulfield]

A train is crashing through the wall
around my heart and left me only dead.

Holden walked into the Forbidden Forest wearing a black shirt with orange words saying 'Atreyu' and a teal and blue wolf on the front. His pants were tight girl pants of course with an orange bandana hanging out from his back pocket on the left side. His shoes were black and gray Vans that had holes in them revealing his white ankle socks.

His hair, of course, was in his face as he walked over some un-colorful bushes. The ground was moist and muddy. The long night of rain, thunder, and lightning hadn't dried up yet in this area. The Hufflepuff looked up at the trees high above his head. You could barely see the sun shining through the heavy shade of the tree leaves.

He looked in front of him and continued walking. Holden needed a long walk to himself to think. The fifth year had broken up with his still third year girlfriend Jessica. It wasn't working out since Jess was constantly gone and never telling him where she was. From his point of view and his friends [Jackson and Avery] the relationship wasn't good. Holden, in the end, decided that he would remain single for a while. It was better when he didn't give his feelings to someone.

Holden slipped on the mudd and fell to his knees and palms. He sighed and looked at the mud with his gray eyes. His gaze turned to his hands that were in the mudd. A new pair of pants were ruined by him slipping. Lovely. Not. Holden sighed again and picked himself up.

When he got up he looked to his pants. The from the knees down was covered in mudd. Holden snorted and continued walking till he was out of the mudd area. Walking on some most grass he looked back to his pants. Wasn't there a spell that could clean his clothes? He thought to himself, pulled out his wand, and then crossed his arms. His foot tapped as he thought about it. Oh that's right. Holden muttered a word and his pants were clean again. His palms on the other hand remained a bit dirty.

Holden continued his solitary walk as he continued to look around. It had been ages since he had been in the Forbidden Forest looking around. The fifth year put his wand away in his back pocket where it was always at. "Like a whisper to the dusk. In oath against the shadows. Denying the dark. Fight fight fight against till the break of dawn. Like a prayer to the dawn. In arms against the shadows. Denying the dark," he sang to himself.

There was a crunch of a branch breaking and Holden froze in his steps. He looked to around him slowly making sure there wasn't some animal about to attach him. His eyes looked down and he noticed he stepped on a branch breaking it with his weight. A sigh of relief came from his lips and he continued walking.

The Hufflepuff made a popping noise with his lips and looked around at the dull scenery. He was quite suprised that he hadn't seen any animals running around or someone. Usually he would always hear about students getting detetions for being in the forest. Did Holden care that he got a detention? No he didn't.

He continued to sing softly to himself as he walked alone.

Cambrie stepped out of the castle, squeaking softly as the sun shone through her Gucci sunglasses. She flipped the hood of her sweater up over her head, a habit, and headed across the grounds. Some people say that it takes more then one time to learn a lesson. As if the human race isn't quite up on the intelligence chart to realize that once that you should or shouldn't do something again. Well, Cambrie was starting to believe this theory. Therefore, she found herself standing in front of the entrance to the Forbidden Forest, her bleach blonde hair being swept off of her shoulders by the light breeze.

Dun Dun Dun

Her Sharpie covered converse led her into the forest, for there was nothing stopping her now. She winced at the muddy ground that surrounded her, Hogwarts had obviously experienced a late night thunderstorm that she had not been aware of. She dug her hands deep into the pockets of her tight ripped jeans, wondering how far into the forest she had gone. She paused and glanced behind her, only to see trees and mud. Heh. So much for learning her lesson.

Last time she had gone into the forest, she was lost and had to be rescued by her best friend, Kamy. Which wasn't fun seeing as Kamy would've rather been asleep in the Mihael common room than searching for her in the middle of nowhere. But half of her wanted to get lost, she wanted to ditch Hogwarts and be raised by a pack of wolves. It seemed as though everything was going wrong. Her boyfriend, or ex boyfriend, had just broken up with her because it "wasn't working out", and then he disappeared. Which was quite promising.

She attempted to shake the thought and continued to go deeper into the forest. After about fifteen minutes, she was surprised to find that she hadn't been eaten, or harmed. There was no telling what was out here and she wasn't about to find out. She walked to the nearest tree, and sat down in a crevice between two of its huge roots. She gazed to wards the sky, wondering how she would find her way back this time.

She let out a small gasp, hearing a small crack a few yards away from where she was sitting. She stood up, leaning against the tree so that nothing could sneak up behind her. She placed her hand in her back pocket, which also held her wand. Her eyes darted from tree to tree, hoping to spot some squirrel or something harmless. Just a few seconds afterwords, she heard a popping noise. She jumped, and slipped in the mud, causing her butt to have an unexpected encounter with the ground below her. Hello ground.

[Holden J. Caulfield]

"It's over. Look out below and I'm wasted. I still taste it. Yeah it's so hard to let go. So breathe in now. And breathe it out. The forecast; a car crash. It's looking like another..." he sang to himself.

Boys like Girls was an okay band. They weren't the best and weren't the worst Muggle band Holden had ever heard. They reminded him a lot of Hawthorne Heights for some odd reason. Holden couldn't explain why they did but they just did so I'll leave it just at that.

"Breakdown, rebound. This could be my last good-bye. You cross your heart, I hope to die. And I can't deny your eyes. You know I try to read between the lines. I saw a warning sign and then you threw me up against the wall. Who said that it's better to have loved and lost? I wish that I had never loved at all."

The fifth year heard a gasp and turned around quickly. He pulled out his wand out of his left back pocket. Was there someone in the forest or was it something that he didn't want to know about? The only way to find out was to check it out. Instincts told him to leave quickly but his curiousity got the better of him. He walked toward where he heard the noise.

Holden backed against a tree and turned his head. His gray eyes noticed a girl sitting on her butt in the mud. The mud has yet to claim another victim besides himself. He put his wand back in his back pocket and moved from the tree. Holden moved over some ferns as he walked closer to the ground.

"You okay?," he asked as he stood on a flat rock. Holden moved his bangs out of his face and continued to look at the girl. By the size of her she seemed younger but most people were shorter than Holden since he was six foot now. He put his hands in his front pockets and blinked.

"Do you need help?"

Cambrie's bright blue eyes widened as she watched something move in some ferns in front of her. There she was, sitting helplessly on her butt in the middle of a mud puddle, with hardly any access to her wand since she was on top of it, and she was about to be eaten. She stared at the plants in front of her as she began to mentally write a list of all the things she hadn't accomplished yet.

Then something happened that she was not prepared for. A boy from an older year stepped out of nowhere. Now she could honestly say that she was embarrassed. She felt her pale cheeks turn a light shade of pink as she struggled to find words to say. She looked retarded, obviously because he had just asked her if she needed help. She shook her head and stood up, while quickly brushing the mud off of the back of her jeans.

"No..I'm fine...thanks..", she stated, eying him cautiously.

She just stood there by the tree, blinking. Awkward much? She wondered if she should say something, or if he just wanted her to leave him alone, as most guys these days did. "Wh--What are you doing out here?", she asked him, trying not to sound as tense as she was. [/center][/color][/size]

[Holden J. Caulfield]

His gray eyes continued to look at the girl. Holden kept a straight face so the girl wouldn't know that on the inside he was laughing is lungs off. He himself had fell and shouldn't make fun of her, even though it was pretty funny. The whole situation made him look to his pants, even though they were now clean.

He nodded his head once so that she understood that he wouldn't help her at all. Holden leaned against a huge tree and kept his hands in his pockets as Cambrie stood up and wipped the mudd off her jeans. He sighed and looked around at the forest. Everything seemed so melancholy and spooky. Not somewhere where you want to be. You want to be in the 'Happiest Little Elf' side of the forest. Which there happen to be none known around this place.

The girl asked him a question which pulled him from his thoughts. What was Holden James Caulfield doing out in the creepy forest that nearly surrounded Hogwarts? Nothing in particular sept for thinking to himself and moping a bit. He blinked and looked to the girl.

"I was walking around in the forest thinking to myself till someone make a gasping noise. Thought it was a bit odd so I decided to check it out." Holden was being completely honest to the girl. Then he decided to ask her the same question.

"What are you doing here?"

Ashleigh was sat up in a tree. She had her little sharp thing out again and was carving a bowtruckle into the wood. Of course she wasn't afraid of the forest. How many animals do you find that carry a stake around with them? She was adding the eyes when she heard footsteps in the mud. A boy was walking along.

She shrugged added the eyes, blowing away the dust as more footsteps approached. This time a girl. She looked away again and admired her handy work until there was a gasp and the boy came back. She watched the two talking. Then she decided to be polite and not eavesdrop on their conversation.

Instead she would scare them.

She let her fangs out and jumped from the tree. Some of the leaves rustled and the people looked round but didn't seem to see her. She waited in the shadows for the perfect moment.
