Lost In the Forest(samantha)

[jayo]

3 months previously....


Xianex walked into the forest, completely ignoring the rules over the students. He didn't care it was against the rules, or that it was dangerous. He had been bet that he wouldn't be able to walk in a mile, send up sparks, and then walk back out. He decided to prove them wrong, his Gryffindor tendencies showing.

He could smell the wet of the tree's and the dark of the forest. 'This is going to be fun.' he thought to himself with a grimace. He walked into the woods, following the path until he came to a fork. He decided to save himself time and just walk straight forward, being very stupid.

He had been off the trail for about 15 minutes when he figured it was far enough, and he sent red sparks in the air. He heard something big running toward him, he held up his wand, but was hit with something big and dropped unconscious.........

Present......

Xianex stumbles out of the woods, looking pale from lack of sunlight, but more fit, and safe. He wondered who had missed him and how everyone was doing. It was day time out, and he almost expected professors out on the look for him. He was finally back at hogwarts.

[lexy]

Screams filled her dorm mates ears. Samantha knew that Xianex needed her help. But where was he. Who knew. She got out of her bed and put on her pink converse. She oput on her pink-purple jacoket that had kitties holding knifes on it. Her and Illusion's jacket. She ran down the stairs of the dorm down to the common room.

She looked over at the fire. It must have just started cause the room was cold. Freezing. She walked over to the fire. She put her hands in front of it to warm up her hands. Complety forgetting her mission to find her boyfriend. She sits on the couch. She closes her eyes and Xianex's face pops in. Her eyes widened she got up quickly and rucshed out of the common room.

But where was he. And how was Samnatha going to find him. She would just let he feet take her were she needed to go. She walked down the stair way almost knocking down first years. She got to the entrance hall and walked outside. Freezing cold outside. And snow was falling. Just think a couple months ago she and Xianexs were walking in the Enchanted Graden and it was clear outside. Now its snowing. How the months went by.

She made her way towards the forest. She wasn;t suppost to be coming here but she had to find him. If she didn't she might go crazy. She pasted all her friends. Illusion, Cody, Gee Gee, Jacob, even her enemie Helena Hibbetta. Even Helena asked her what was wrong with her. Sam had a weird expression on her face. She just keep walking. She thought she saw Xianex at the edge of the forest. But wasn't sure. She walked in that direstion.

She saw the boy and started running. She thought no she knew it was him. His long hair. His piercings. She ran to the boy. She finally reached him and she sta down in front of him. She looked at him. "Xianex? Id that you?" she asked the boy.

[jayo]

Xianex heard her but couldn't speak. He was in shock. It was white, there was snow. In the forest there hadn't been any, because the tree's had blocked it all out. The snow had even made him forget about his bad leg.

His attention was reverted to samantha, how happy he was to see her, hear her voice say his name, to smell her perfume. But then his leg gave way, and he fell to the ground unconcious again.

The centaurs had protected him in the forest, but On his return trip, he wasn't protected with anything but his wand, and he hadn't been capable to keep himself completely safe.

'Am I to get this far, then to die once I get here.' He thought to himself, thinking back to all he faced in the forest, horrors to horrible to describe. He was finished, but then his mind went back to samantha....

[lexy]

Samantha watched Xianex fall to the ground. He face had been turned from nothing, to a smile, then to confusion. She looked at his leg. He hadn't even said any thing to her. At all. Some thing was wrong. But she couldn't tell because of his pants. But she saw red-ish stuff on them.

"Xianex. What happen?" she asked. Hoping he would speak. Just to hear his voice would bring tears to her eyes. She hadn't heard his voice in months. Years to her it seemed like. "Xianex. Talk, please talk.." she said to him.

Bring up the drama that had happened the last couple months with her and Helena. Or just wait for him to speak? Talk about how she missed him so much, or just wait? She was confused. Thoughts ran through her head. Not knowing what to say next to just sat there.

[jayo]

He heard her voice. Color came back to him and he felt warmth. She was there with him, she would be able to hold him, and give him company. It was so cold, he was shivering, and was fearing hypothermia.

"Sa....saman...tha." He stuttered from the cold, and loss of blood. That creature had caused quite a bit of damage to his leg. He lost consciousness again. He had been hoping to find a way inside, to the warmth.

He woke up again, and looked up at samantha, and smiled lightly, his eyes gleaming. With a little chuckle he said "You sm...ell go.....od to....day" His eyes closed and he was happy.

He woke up again in her lap. She was holding him close obviously for warmth and comfort. It was nice to have her against him. "Thank you." He said in a complete sentance. He felt her face with his fingers and tried to kiss her, but could only make it halfway. He felt pathetic.

[lexy]

Samantha smiled at him when he talked. But then he lost consciousness yet again. Tears ran down her face. She was happy he was finally back him her. By the time he came back to her she had managed to lift him up and hold him close. And the tears were gone.

He looked up at her. Those baby blue eyes made him look so help less. He touched her. He was cold to the touch. But she smiled. She took off her jacoket and placed it over him. She had a long sleeve shirt under nearth so she wouldn't freeze. Plus their body heat would keep her warm. When he lifted himself up to try to kiss her but couldn't make it, she bent down to help Him. She kissed him lightly on his lips.

"Xianex. I won't leave you. But we need to get the nurse down here some way. Or we might never get out of here." she told him. "Do you want me to stay here with you for a while or just go right now?" she asked him. She didn;t want to leave but she wanted to help him. Maybe she needed to get the whole story before leaving him. She looked up. Maybe Helena or Illusion followed her, just to spy on her. Thoughst ran threw he mind. She looked back down and smiled.

[jayo]

"I'll be fine." he said and the dark consumed him again. His dreams led him through his nightmares in the forest to the Centaurs. They were valiant creatures. His thoughts drifted to Samantha, and how her tears fell on his face, and her lips against his. He was so cold.

He woke up in the hospital wing. His first sensation was the warmth. He hadn't been this warm for a few months. The second was the comfort of the bed. A BED! He hadn't been on a bed for the same amount of time.

He then thought back to when he stumbled out of the woods and Samantha. SAMANTHA! She must have gotten him to the hospital wing. What time was it when I stumbled out of the forest. What time was it now. Where was Samantha. Questions like these and a thousand others where flying through his thoughts.

[lexy]

"You better be. I can't lose you again." she said to him. Samantha watched as Xianex fell asleep once more.She sent sparks flying up in th air hoping some one would help her. But mostly Xianex. The nurse had come and helped her take him to the hospital wing. He was still passed out. Samantha had been in the hospital every day with Xianex. She waited for him to wake up so she could talk to him.

She walked into the hospital wing. He last class of the day just ended and she was ready to go visit him again. She walked over to his bed and sat down in a chair next to him. She had been up all night studying and wondering if Xianex was okay. She layed her head down on the edge of the bed and waited for Xianex to wake up. Her he to be energized so she could stay in the hospital wing until later that night.

She soon drifted into a light sleep. She dreamed of how the last couple months of Xianex being in the forest by himself were. The animals. The animal or thing that hurt him. Normally she would wake up when she was having a bad dream but this time no. She still slept. Energizing herself.

[jayo]

Xianex looked over to his right and saw her snoozing on his sheets. He smiled, and tried to get of of bed. It didn't work. He was shot with a quick pain through his arms and legs. The Dang wolf.........His thoughts trailed off to the experience. The pain of being bit. Then the centaurs coming a long and saving him. He let his thoughts die, and he got an idea.

He pulled his wand off his stand and he Muttered a few words and she flew up onto the bed with him. He worked her to get comfortable, and just held her there. He enjoyed her being that close. He started to stroke her hair when a teacher walked in, and smiled.

"You know your breaking like, 5 school rules." The professor said to Xianex.
"yea, but I really need this, and she is so tired." He said smiling and the teacher walked away, not caring so much. He smiled and looked back down to her pretty face. He kissed her forhead and smiled.

[lexy]

Samantha woke up. Her mind was turned to Xianex, and if he was okay yet. She opened her eyes slowly. Why was she on a pillow. In the hospital wing. She looked around and saw Xianex laying next to her. Or the other way around. Which ever way she had gotten up there some how. But didn't really know how. She sighed from thinking to hard. She looked over at Xianex and smiled. "How did I get up here. Last i remember i was sitting in a chair and I was just resting. Then I guess I fell asleep cause I had the worst dream ever." she said to him. She was rambling again. She hadn't done that in months.

Maybe it was just Xianex who made her ramble on and on about nothing at all. She sighed again. God was she confused. Confused about what happen to him for those long months. Why he didn't tell her he was running away if he was running away. But why would he run away into the forest. He knew it was dangerous, why would he do such a thing? This time she didn't sigh she got a head ache from thinking to much.

"What happen to you. I missed you so much. I thought you disappeared with Cody. But when he came back you wern't with him. Then I figured you where with Jacob then he returned and you were still missing. Plus I came to my senses that you don;t know them that well. And you probably didn't disappear off the face of the Earth with my cousin or my best friends boyfriend." she said to him.

"Then i remembered I didn't get a letter and so I thought you maybe died and every one was keeping it from me." she said to him. Here she goes again. Rambling. She was probably annoying him to death. But who knows.Maybe he was just happy to be home and to hear some ones voice but his own. "Am I asking to many questions at once?" she asked him with a sigh at the end.

[jayo]

Xianex Smiled. He wasn't slightly annoyed at her questions at all, actually, quite the opposite. They showed him that she really cared, and hearing her voice made him so happy. For the last three months, he could only see and hear her in his dreams, and it made him happy.

His thoughts drifted to the forest again, but now he caught himself and started answering some questions. "I didn't run away. I was dared to go into the forest and some things happened, and I ended up not being able to come back. I'm sorry." He said with a small tear in his eye, but he wiped it away, and told himself he wouldn't get teary.

"Your on the bed, because I wanted to be close to you, and you fell asleep, and this is much more comfortable than the position you were in." He finished his sentence lamely, but it was the whole truth. "You have no idea how much I missed you." He said slowly.

[lexy]

She listened to him talk. He wasn;t very talkitive. Well he never was but she still liked talking to him. She looked ovar at him again and smiled. "Its not your fault you got dared. But you gotta now whne to just say no." she said to him. True true. Every thing was true.

"But you don;t know how much I missed you." she said to him. "I was really worried about you. And kinda got lonely. But I bet you felt the same way cause You didn;t even have some one but yourself to talk to." she said to him.

"But may I ask who dared you. I won't hurt them or any thing. But I'm just curious." she said to him. She looked around. The hospital wing was pretty empty. Except for a couple people who were laying in beds. She had watched peoipel go in and out oif this hospital wing for days now. Xianex was the only one who hadn;t left yet. She came back to her senses and looked at him and smiled.

[jayo]

"My Gryffindor part of me makes it so I can't refuse dares." He said with a laugh looking at her, and stroking her hair again. "And never fear, I will never leave you, Never." He said making fiercely. "not even Death could keep us apart."

He smiled and continued stroking her hair. When those words left his mouth, he didn't regret them at all. He knew he loved her. Her smile is what kept him going in the forest. The thought of talking to her again.

"While I was gone, you never did anything with anyone else did you?" he asked in a joking voice, and after he said it, he even laughed. He knew she didn't, he trusted her completely.

[lexy]

"I won't leave you either. Trust me." she told him. She grabbed his other hand an squezzed it. She smiled at him."And yor crazy if you think I did some thing with some other guy." she said to him. "Why would I?" he asked him.

Things had changed since she left but not that far. She had new hair. She finally got that tattoo on her lower back. She had new pircings. Belly button, tongue, lip, ears, and nose. So many changes. But she told him she was going to do tham all. "So do you like the new piercings. And the tattoo you'll just have to wait to see until we go back to the lake." she told him.

[jayo]

"Aww, I want to see now, but I guess I will live." He said laughing. "And I know you would never be with any other guy. I trust you completely." He finished stroking her hair, then he kissed her on the lips.

"I need to tell you, That......." he didn't finish his sentance. He knows he can't finish it, because those words were over used. He needed to find a way to express his feelings. He had a perfect idea. On his way back through the woods he had seen a tree, a gorgeous tree, a tree that said those three words for him.

"When i get better, I want to take you somewhere." he said to her

[lexy]

She smiled at him. "And did you cheat on me with some flower or bug." she asked him with a small laugh at the end. "And the tattoo is just of a star. Nothing much. But just enough to get me kicked out of the house for a couple months." she told him.

Samanatha was happy, that he wanted to take her some where just her and him. Alone. But she wanted to know what he wanted to tell her now. But she could wait maybe. "Okay fine once you tell me what ever you have to tell me I will show you my tattoo." she told him with an evilish grin.

[/color]

[jayo]

"We'll be in a place you could show me anything." He said with a grin, his mind went to the gutter for a minute, but then a shot of pain went through his leg. It was healed for the most part, but still painful, it was a wound magic couldn't instantly heal.

He thought back to the tree. "Wait till you see what I plan on showing you." he said with a grin, stroking her hair some more, then he kissed her forehead. "If you don't mind going into the forest for a few hours." he said laughing. He knew now how to fight off the Monster that had attacked him before. And there was two people this time.

He looked up at the ceiling, then back down at her pretty face. He knew he would heal quick now that there was actually someone with a wand a potions to help him, not the centaur healing.

[lexy]

She smiled. I can show him any thing I want. What did he mean by that, she thought to herself. Thoughts raced threw her mind. Myabe this day would be the best time to give him that picture she had Jacob draw for here of Xianex. Or maybe the pictures she had taken for him. Nothin biggy. Or maybe she would just let him take her where he was taking her with out bugging him with her non-sense pictures or stuff like that.

"What should I bring?" she asked him. "If any thing. Do I need to bring my camera, food, stuff like that?" she asked him. "Hmm the forest. Sounds very fun. But you gots to protect me. I'm to much of a girl girl to protect myself. Expecially if I don't bring my wand. Cause I've been very forgetful for about that thing." she told him. "My minds been every were lately. But since you back my mind will proably will be set on one thing." she said to him with a smile.


He mind was set to her home work and that kind of stuff. Then she remembered she had some thing for him from there class mates. "I'll be right back." she said to him. She bent her back backwards and reached into her bag. She grabbed the thing she had. She twisted back around. She looked at it. Get well soon was writen on the front. With some drwaing that Jacob drew on there. She handed him the card. "Here. I had some friends of ours sign it for you. I figured it might make you fell better." she said to him with a smile. "Its not the best but okay. Its better than nothing." she said to him.

[/color]

[jayo]

When she brought up her card, he smiled and took it hugging her thanks. This proved she at least missed him. Not many other people probably did. He looked around and spotted only one other card for him. He looked at the one he had just received and smiled again. 'Get well soon' drawn into it. The picture was really good too.

"This is awesome." he said smiling still staring at his card. He was happy, for one of the first times in 3 months. He sat up in the bed, letting Samantha's head fall onto his chest, and his relaxed him.

"As for what you need to bring, is pretty much just yourself, and a camera if you want." he said laughing lightly.

[lexy]

She smiled at him. He loved it obviously. But she couldn;t take all the credit. she had Illusion, Jacob, and some others sign it. She evn had helena sign it. She figured it might as well not hurt her to talk to the girl for more than a minute.

"Okay. Well I always have that with me. So I don;t have to worry about fogeting it." she said to him with a smile.She had gotten bored for the past few months so she dcided she might as well take pictures of herself and Illusion and one of her other dormies. But she hadn;t sent her mom and dad the camera so they could print them out for her. So she could give them to her friends and boyfriend. She all she had was the pictures still in her camera.
