For a Pesimist, I'm pretty Optimistic *(Anna)*

[Selene Falicon]

So what did you think I would say?
No you can't run away, no you can't run away.

Why did I come in here again? she sinlently asked herself. Selene hated the forest, yet she went into it again, not even thinking about the trouble she would get into if she was caught. For some reason she was in the mood for something scary and exciting. Or, atleast, she had been until she'd finally gotten what she wished for. The Ravenclaw was deep in the forest, no clue how to get out.

Suddenly Selen heard a stick snap behind her. Turning abruptly, she found no one there. She continued walking, more cautiously, her ears listening for the slightest sound. She suddenly turned around, again, as she heard leaves rustle behind her. Nothing was there. Her eyes grew wide, unsure what could be following her, but knowing there was something. She couldn't be imagining all this.

Quickly turning around, she sprinted forward, trying to find her way out before the thing attacked her. She knew if she just reached the edge of the forest, it wouldn't dare try to get her. Selene turned her head as she ran to see if it was still there, but didn't see anything. Suddenly her body jerked to a hault. Something had stopped her from going any further forward.

Selene stumbled backwards, trying to regain her balance, but failing. She landed with a soft thump on the ground, the leaves covering up the noise. She completely forgot about the noise as she brought her hand to her head, a headache starting to throb. "Oww," she groaned, standingup slowly. Landing on the ground hadn't hurt her at all. It was the speed at which she ran into the tree that got her. The world spun for a moment before finally staying where it should be. Hearing more rustling leaves, she pulled out her wand. She knew she would be no match for whatever it was, since she was knocked silly at the moment.

AnnaSophia always seemed to be an danger magnet. Nothing like what a bunch of other students here seemed to be like, but pretty bad nonetheless. She was, at some points, an accident waiting to happen. That hadn't been happening much since she hadn't felt like talking much to people the past week. She needed to get out more, she missed talking to random students, her age, older, way older... all that. She kind of needed some sort of contact with a human being before she turned 14 and a half! Now, that would be sad. She really wanted to get a chance to talk to creatures to. Hence, her trip into the forest.

Now, she had heard many a rumor about this place, the creatures, the shocks and deaths, yet... here she was. Wandering the paths that seemed barely visible through the thick branches and leaves above her. She had looked back a few times, checking to see that the castle lights were still visible through the tree trunks. Unfortunately for her, they were gone. Not one source of light was visible except for the light of the sky and whatever was roaming the treetops. She shuddered and quickly glanced around. She lifted her shoulders and stared straight ahead. No turning back now... she thought as she continued on. Under her feet, leaves cracked and branches snapped from the force of her pace. She was a little worried now and kept biting her lip and tucking her hair behind her ear as a sign of it.

She heard movement and froze in place. It seemed like hours had gone by before she moved again, casually turning around and slowly trying to remember the path she had taken to get out again. It was no use. She felt so lost! She began to frantically search the dark trees for any sign of human skin, eyes... bodies... it was impossible. Then she heard something that she didn't think she'd hear in a million years! Someone had fallen, and she recognized the slight groan emitted from their lips. Not the voice, no. She had never heard that certain one before, but she was interested to find it.

She began to run, the wind rushing through her hair, through the bushes. She soon came out into a small bushy clearing and there sat a girl, older then herself, looking as though she had broken out into a cold sweat, but Anna couldn't be sure. She knelt down beside her and extended her hand, "Are you OK?" she said, a little quiet as she was in a slight shock of actually seeing a human in this deathly forest.

[Selene Falicon]

Selene drew in a quickl breath as something started to appear. She raised her wand higher, feeling suffocated in darkness. She hadn't thought to light her wand. What a true Ravenclaw she was... Then she saw that it was a person, not something come to attack her. She let her breath out, relief flooding through her. The girl had short blonde hair and looked to be about the same age as herself.

The girl kneeled down beside Selene and offered a hand. She took it gratefully with her free hand, happy to have some help. She knew she must look like a complete idiot, running into a tree and all, but at the moment she really didn't care. At least she had some company and someone to help find the way out of the dreaded place. She quietly spoke a spell under her breath, "Lumos Maxima," and a large circle of light came from the tip of her wand. She made sure to hold that end down so she wuldn't shine it in the girl's eyes.

Selene then responded to the girl's question. "Yeah, I'm fine. I guess I was just being paranoid." She put her hand to her head for a moment, trying to ease the dull ache that was gradually growing. "I'm Selene. Who are you?" she asked politely. The Ravenclaw did her best to be polite. She hadn't made an enemy yet, and she didn't think she would in this girl. She hadn't said her year and House, though, because she always thought it made the conversation sound formal. She wasn't good at speaking formally.

AnnaSophia was very much relieved to see the girl breathing normally, acting normally and from the looks of it, knew that she was also human... and had normal-esque qualities. But then again, Anna remembered that The only normal people in the world are the ones you don't know. She sighed and shook her head. That quote stays true to the very end, for sure. It made perfect sense if that wasn't enough.

AnnaSophia pulled the girl up to her feet, she had fair brown hair and soft pale skin. She had a firm grip as well, since we're talking about her right now. She seemed very friendly in Anna's opinion, open minded and talkative when she wanted to be. At least, that was her impression on the girl, or... woman more like. She smiled joyfully once they were both up and cleaned off from the leaves that might have stuck to their jeans.

The girl introduced herself as Selene. God, sometimes people have all the beauty. The name, the face, the everything. It made AnnaSophia a tad jealous, but she was obviously feeling very lucky to have met someone so beautiful. Who knows? Maybe they'd become friends one day... you never know, now do you? "Erm... nice to meet you Selene. I love your name by the way." she added quickly, smiling. "It's not flattery, it's just true." she said, grinned and nodding up and down vehemently.

"I'm AnnaSophia Thomas. I'm a first year Mihael." she smiled extending a hand, "What year are you in?" she asked enthusiastically, wanting to know how much wizarding experience they had so she could ask loads of questions.

[Selene Falicon]

Selene blushed as her name was comlimented, but changed to a giggle as AnnaSophia told her she wasn't trying to flatter her. She could only remember one person ever saying that, though the person's name escaped her for the moment. Sighing, she tried to make it come to her. It would drive her mad not to know. Just a pet peeve of hers. Finally giving up, she listened as the young Mihael continued her speech.

Selene grabbed AnnaSophia's and and shook it gently. She wasn't one to kill the other person's hand in a hand shake. She always hated it when others did it to her (mainly Slythies). "I love you name as well. It's very pretty," she commented. She knew someone at her old muggle school whose name was Anna. They hadn't exactly been best friends, but they had always greeted each other warmly. Come to think of it, she hadn't had any friends at her old school, besides her sister.

"I'm a sixth year Ravenclaw," she replied reluctantly. Recently she'd come to hate being in Ravenclaw. The Professors always seemed to expect more from them than any house, just because they were willing to learn. It didn't seem fair. but then again, life wasn't fair. Her dad was a big example of that. Selene closed her eyes for a second as her head pounded again. The intensity lessoned and she opened her eyes, her hand still holding her head.

"Where are you from," she asked curiously. Many people here came from England, including herself, so she was expecting that to be the girl's answer. But maybe she would be suprised.
