Watch the time go right out the window (Ashanti)

[Landon Tilbrook]

Landon woke up to a hasty mourning. He didn't feeling like getting up so he stayed there laying in his bed for hours till he finally had to get up... He sighed and got changed. He wore a black shirt with a simple saying on there... 'Note to self #3... Normal is just a setting on a washing machine' He msilied at his hsirt. He had tos of shirts with these stupid sayings... He liked those kinds of shirts... He pulled on a pair o jeans and got a black cap on that had nothing on it and walked out the door...

Nobody was in the common room.. He looked outside to see kids sitting or walking in groups having fun... He sighed... He instead haded toward the library.. He was in no mood to talk to anyone... He did'nt know wy.. .He just wanted to be left alone but than another half of him wanted to have company and just get his sobber mood out. He sighed... Time flew by as he decied what to do.. He than sighed once again and let it come to him...

He grabbed a book and red for a while.. Nobody came to talk to im so he was actually going to get his alone time... He didn't really know what he was reading.. he finally gave up.. He didn't really want to be alone anoymore... H decied to go to the forest.. He knew he asn't suppose to go in there but he liked being in there sometimes...

He put the book back and walked out of the library he walkedo utside toward the forest.. He looked around to make sure no one was lookingand walked in.. He ent dep into the forest and found a tree. He climbed up high and sat down on a branch and layed back...He was comfy there till he heared a crack... "Not again... I've got to pick better branches.." The branch started to fall and he went with it but he closed his eyes and layed back... It was nothing big for him... Fall out of trees was second nature....

Ashanti woke up a little early today.She tried to go back to sleep but couldn't, so she finally just got up.She changed into some blue jeans with yellow strapless top.Placing her blue jacket over her shoulders, just in case it was cold outside.Ashanti grabbed her small purse that had a few things including, her wand in it.Then she headed out her dorm quietly, as to not wake up her roommates that were still sleep.She walked down to the common room to see nobody was in there.Then headed out.


Being up so early, where cold she go to?Or say where did she want to go?Ashanti headed over to the lake for a while.That was soothing to her.She took out a book from her purse and started to read for a while.It was one of her favorite Muggle books.When she got half way done, she started to realize, that she was tired of reading.But what could she do that was more fun to her then reading?Ashanti wondered.


It was then that Ashanti thought of something.To go exploring somewhere that she hasn't been before.But where?Most of the castle she has already been to at least once.Then a place came to her.The Forbidden Forest.She knew that she has never been in the forest, mainly because, Ashanti didn't want to get into trouble her first year.Now she was a third and well.It did sounded fun.Most of the students had been in the forest at least once.So why not her too?Ashanti then put her book back into her purse and she placed her purse over her neck, but crisscross so it went over one arm, then under the other.That was she wouldn't lose it.


Ashanti got up to her feet and started heading to the forest.It wasn't that far from the lake.Once she reached the forest entrance, Ashanti checked her purse again to make sure she had her wand.When she saw that she did, she look a look around.She didn't see anyone, so she walked into the forest.This place looked like, it had some mystery to it.But in which direction should she go?When Ashanti game to the first intersection, she looked in both directions.Both ways were a little dim with light, so then, she took the right path.It was a little more brighter with light.


Ashanti saw a tree that had a lot of branches.Right as she was about to climb up it to get a better view, she heard a noise.Ashanti turned around to look behind her to see who or what made the noise."Hello?.....Hello...".Ashanti called out.But when nothing she waited there for a moment.She must have waited for a few minutes.When nothing made a sound.Ashanti climbed up the tree to the top of it.After she reached the top, she saw that she had a great view from the top of the tree.Ashanti then sat down in the middle.So she was not close to the edge branches, that way she didn't have to worry about falling out.Ashanti just looked around.

Landon closed his eyes feeling the air rush past him. He opened his eyes to see that he was almost reaching the ground and soon going to be scrambled eggs. He sighed. The fun always has to end so soon. He closed his eyes once again and when he opened them they were pure black. His figure started to chage. He flapped his black wings... He jumped of the branch e was sailing under just it time, as it hit the floor. He flapped his black wings soaring off into the sky...

The best about being him was that you could do stuff like that. He was a vampire.. Write now he was a bat. He soared around the sky. He hadn't done this in a while. He didn't know why. It just slippedo ut of his mind that he could turn into a bat. He never did for some reason. That was okay thought. He might be able to turn into a bat but he hated bats. The only good part about it was flying.

He found a branch and hung off it upside down. e wasn't used to flapping his wings around and soaring around in the sky so he got tired quick... The veiw from the tre was very nice. He loked at the branch to make sure he didn't pick a twig to sit on like last time. He smilied. sometimes he actedl ike he didn' even have a brain. He was just so caught up in the fun of the moment to think sensible and find a thicker branch... It was fun though....

He flew back down to the ground and transformed back to hmislef. He first checked that he had two arms, leg, eyes, ears, a head, hair, a mouth... Everything was good. He began to walk around taking in everything around him. Dead trees and leaves but at the ame time an alive forest. He thought about that wondering it made an sense. He shurgged.

He loved tis forest. he liked to spend most of his time here. Day and night. forest in forest out was what h breath. He knew everything about it since he spent o much time in here... He understood why it wasn't safe but he just ouln't get enough. It was the perfect plac to eat, hunt and get away from everything...

Landon walked around fo a while in his own thought till he heared someone's shoes agisnt the dead leaves on the ground. He looked up a head of him. someone else was here oter than him. He wondered if it was an animal or a student. He wlaked forward behind a tree waiting for am ore sounds... He heared nothing... He sat there crouched up behind a tree... Waiting...

"Hello?.....Hello...".

Landon heared the voice. He sighed with relief and stood up all. He walked forward now not as tense as he was before. He kept walking waiting to bump into someone but there was noone. He sighed and hsurgged. It wasl ike they had just disappeared into the blue. He walked over to a nice tree... It was the tallest around the rest. He sat down on the ground and leaned agisnt it. He closed his eys but he was still istening for any sound...

Ashanti stood by the tree for a while.She knew she had, heard a noise and waited to see form who or what.For some reason, Ashanti had a feeling like, she was being watched.That was a feeling she didn't like.Instead of climbing up the tree right away, she made a circle around the tree, to see if she saw anyone on the other side.When she didn't, she turned around and started to climb the tree.


Once she reached the top.Ashanti sat down Indian style to cross her head.The trees branches gave some shade against the suns heat.At least it was warm to her and not cold.She had a great view from the top and also from where she was sitting.Now she wished she could have, brought her paints with her.She could have drew something.


She suddenly thought of something.Ashanti opened her small bag purse.And she looked in it.Normally she would always bring a small notebook or a piece of parchment and some drawing pencils for times like this.Hopefully she remembered to bring her pencils.Looking around in her purse, for a moment, then she saw she did.Ashanti smiled, then took out her small notebook and her drawing pencils.


Ashanti then started drawing a new picture of the tree she was in.While drawing, she started to hum.A song was stuck in her head, so she hummed to it.Making it a song but, without words.As she hummed the song,Ashanti looked up to start drawing the tree branches, the leaves, everything that surround her, she drew into a picture.

[Landon Tilbrook]

Landon sat there listening.. He was falling alseep slowly but he ried hard to stay up. Whoever he heared was still around here and he was going to find out who it was. Sadly, he couldn't keep his slep waiting an fell asleep. He slep four hours. He never knew he was this tired. He didn't even fel this tired as as much he had slept.

He opened his eyes and yawned. He wondered what time it was but he idn't ware a watch. He should start. He heard a humming noise from above him. He looked up to find nothing. He smirked. It was probably the person he heared before. He looked around but heared no one. He looked up once again and thought he saw something way wat up top...

He jumped p and grabbed onto the first branch an swung himself up. He stood on that branch and pulled himsel to the secondand than the third an he kept going.. Soon he got tired aain. It was a pretty big tree and he never ent that high before. He had always had accidents with trees of falling off an going high wouldn't be such a good thing when falling off trees is second nature for him. He sighed and contiued up...

He climbed and climbed all the way up till he finally came to the top. He sighed and tried to catch his breath. He than looked around and saw someone finilar. e smilied. It was his friend Ashanti. He smilied. He reached over to her without making a sound. He covered her eyes and said in a deep voice... "Guess who?" He said looking own at what she was drawing. She was really good at it too. He smilied. "It's really good..." He said puting his hands down and letting her see who it was...

[ashanti]

Ashanti looked around and didn't see anyone.So she climbed up the three to the top.It was a bit of a long climb, but she finally made it to the top.Once she reached the top, the view was great.Ashanti could defiantly make a few pictures from this wonderful view.She sat down on a branch and she took out her drawing things.


Once everything was set up, Ashanti then placed her paints to the side of her, so they wouldn't fall.The placed a few of her drawing pencils inside her hand and put, the rest back in her bag.Since she was in a tree, there would only be a few colors she needed.Next she started drawing a picture of the tree, the view to the ground, everything.Ashanti though that when she was done, the picture would turn out good, she hoped.


While she was drawing, Ashanti start to hum a song.She didn't know the words so she just, hummed a beat.At first it was a bit quiet, then she started to hum a little louder.There was nobody around her, but Ashanti still kept it down.When she was halfway done with the picture, she suddenly felt someone cover her eyes.Trying not to panic or show she was a little nervous,she waited.Ashanti heard someone say."Guess who?".Ashanti recognized that voice It was her friend Landon.Or she hoped at least.She replied."Um Guess who?That would be... Landon".When the hands came form over her eyes,Ashanti turned to see who it was.She saw it was her friend Landon indeed.



Ashanti turned to see that she was, right.It was Landon there.Where did he come from?She didn't see him when she climbed up here.When Landon stood by a branch, she said."Hey Landon.Come join me over here".She waved at him to join her.Next then she heard her friend Landon say back."Its really good".Ashanti looked down at her picture.Then up at Landon again.She smiled."Oh thank you Landon.So what brings you out there? Were you bored? Or just need to get away again?".Ashanti wondered.Last time she saw her friend at the lake he, needed to get away from classes for a while.Now what was it this time?The only way to find out was to listen to his answer.So Ashanti waited for his reply.

[Landon Tilbrook]

"Um Guess who?That would be... Landon".

He let of his hnads. He wondered how she knew. He shurgged but than deiceided to ask. "How did you know?" He asked grinning. He shurgged. He swung his legs down and sat down on the branch above her. He moved his legs to the side so they wouldn't get her. He than swung himslef aeround so is legs were on the branch where he was sitting before and his legs were holding him up while his body was swining down. He looked at her and smilied. "Wat's up?" He asked grinning. He hopped he didn't fall. It would be a long way down...

"Hey Landon.Come join me over here"

He hsurged. "Nah! i fine up here. Plus. I like swingning upside down." He said rasing his eyebrows wondering if she knew what he meant. Since being a vampire he could turn into a bat and well, hanging like that was his thing. He liked it a lot but than after a while he felt a little sick. He would sit next to herl ater. He looked around. It as a nice veiw up there...

."Oh thank you Landon.So what brings you out there? Were you bored? Or just need to get away again?"

He hsurgged. He didn't really know. He thought about it for a moment. It was hard to think upside down. Than he finally answered, "A little bit of both..." He said shurgging. He grined at her. "What brings you here?" He asked lookingaround at the senery. The trees and the sun setting. It was just wonderful.

(OCC: It's really bad but I have writer's block so forgive the bad post)

[ashanti]

Ashanti was sitting in the tree and since she had, her paints with her.Decided to do a drawing of it.She was enjoying her time away from, all of her classes.Sometimes one just needs a break, to help clear their mind.As she was drawing the, settings of the landscape.Ashanti then felt someone cover her eyes.When that happened, the person told he to guess who.But she knew the voice.Her friend Landon.


After his hand were taken off her eyes, she turned to look behind her.And it was her friend Landon.She looked at him. Then he said."How did you know?".Ashanti saw he grinned at her.She laughed at him and replied back to him."How did I know?Um let me see.Well.. you have a little tiny bit of a accent.Plus this is the forest and I remember when we first talked.You told me that you like trees.So I kinda guess it would be you".Indeed that was true.He did tell her when they first met, in the how he liked to go exploring.And what student would not go into the forest at least once.Especially if the person likes tress .


Thens she saw he climbed up in a branch, then Landon swinged himself up.So he was hanging upside down.He said."What's up".Then he grinned at her.Ashanti laughed at him.Sometimes Landon could really be funny. Ashanti then answered.[b["Not much.Classes,studies and drawing my paintings.Pretty much about it.And you? Oh please be careful up there Landon".[/b]Ashanti looked down out the tree, then back up at him.She knew it was a very long drop if he fell.And she hope he could be careful so, he wouldn't fall.And would be a bit more careful with being up there.


Then Ashanti asked Landon if he would, come join her in the middle,of the tree.But instead, Landon answered with a different, one then she thought he would."Nah! i fine up here. Plus. I like swingning upside down."She saw he raised his eyebrows at her.Ashanti frowned while she looked at him, and studied him for a moment.She thought to herself.OK um.. now why would he like being upside?...other then the view...I wonder...unless he is a vam...Then it hit her.Vampires can turn into bats.And bats do hang upside a lot.So did that mean Landon was a Vampire? If he was one, it would explain a lot.How whenever she saw it outside, it was always at night.Or here in the forest, or the lake at night.




Ashanti was now starting to, get a better view of things.Such as when she would always, run into hr friend, always somewhere at night,Ashanti then replied back to him."Oh ok.I well if you like being upside down.Be careful.Although now I am sure, that if you fall you can land on your feet.Or change, but still.".Ashanti was still wanted her friend to be careful period.Then when she asked him, what brought him here.Like did he needed to get away from classes, or his studies? She wondered.Then Landon spoke."A little bit of both.".hen he added."What brings you here?".Landon looked then grinned at her.Sometimes he could be too much, but he always, made her laugh.He was a good friend.Ashanti then said back."Oh I needed to take a break, from classes and studies.So I came here to do, a few of my drawings.And how about you Landon?".Ashanti asked him.Then she went back to her drawing for a few moments.Then once that was done, Ashanti looked back up at him.She waited to see what, her fiend would say next to her.So Ashanti listened.[/color]
