Reminds Me Of A Night So Long Ago -Anyonez-

[icymorpher]

What was it about this forest that reminded this lonely girl of that night so long ago? Who knew, and just for the record she did not wish to find out why it did so. A sigh escaped her soft lips as she lowered her gaze from the high above canopy. Even if this forest was located half way around the world from where that event had taken place, it stirred unwelcome memories. Her eyes focused on the faded path beneath of feet as they softly tramped on the fallen leaves of fall, hardly making a sound in the stillness of the night.

A blanket of darkness covered the sky, dotted with small orbs of light but the sky lacked a moon tonight. It had decided to play hide and seek behind the thin clouds instead of letting it's light shine down on the Forbidden Forest. Why it was forbidden still caused her mind to stir. She had never encountered any trouble within it's depths, but they again, she was usually out of dangers reach when she entered the forest. Not to mention always on a constant alert.

After returning to this place for a third time however, the tension had subsided a bit, allowing her mind to wander freely away from the massive trees. Wandering is not exactly what she wanted tonight however. Her bright hazel/red eyes found their way up to a lower branch of a tree which was situated beside of her, towering over the small third year. She could make it to that branch if she put the effort into it. She found it more comforting to be above the ground for some odd reason. Oh well, that's just the kind of person she was. An odd one.

With a faint smirk suddenly crossing her lips, she leaped up with inhuman-like strength and landed lightly upon the sturdy branch. Not a leaf quivered. She steadied herself before standing and looking around at her new surroundings. The smile was still visible as she took a seat, with her back to the thick trunk, on the strong limb. Allowing one leg to fall over the side of the wood, she stared ahead into the night, giving her mind permission to wonder off, but not too far. She must have permitted her mind to wonder father than she wished, for she did not notice the figure standing below, where she had been standing previously.

For some reason he could not sleep he had to much on his mind and had been laying in the Boys Dorm for the past 2 hours awake doing nothing while the other dozed off and left him wide awake.So he decided to sneak out not the best idea he glanced out the window and noticed it was completely dark outside the moon was not out and he knew he was not supposed to be out this late but it did not matter to him because he was bored,tired,and too confused to sleep so sneaking out did not sound like a bad idea.

He jumped out of bad and through on some skinny jeans and black and white checkered sweathsirt and white and black checkered vans along with his black rimmed glasses because he was too lazy to stick his contacts on.He knew he would have to dodge some Perfects and play mission impossible so that he would not get caught.But he hoped he would not stir up to much attention to himself because he was very clumsy and draws more attention to himself then needed.He slowly tipped toed out of the Common Room and went down the ever changing stairs and finally made it to the ground floor and slowly headed towards the door.He crawled army style on the ground but when he finally made it outside he was more then relieved that he had not been caught.

He stuck his hands in his pockets and stared up into the sky it would have been beautiful if the moon was showing but if it was he would be more likely to be caught out this late then now.He ran his fingers through his hair and combed his hair out of his face so he could see where he was going.It was pretty dark but slowly his eyes adapted to the darkness around him and at least he could see what was in front of him.He stood at the edge of the forest he hesitated for a minute before he finally managed to get enough guts to walk in.His grays eyes darted across the forest watching any sudden movements.

Finally he was half way inside the forest or was he half way out of the forest it did not occur to him that the tree he was standing under was occupied by another student.He was too far into la-la land to even recognize the third year above him then he glanced up and nearly jumped out of his skin sending him flying backwards but catching himself before he fell.[/size][/color]"Ello."He said slowly like he was mental but more surprised and his heart beating way too fast from him to figure out what was going on.His heart seemed as if it was going to nearly pop out of his chest.She had totally scared him but he would never admit that.

With a moan, her head leaned back and touched the rough bark of the tree. Too many things to think about. Might cause a headache. There was a ball coming up, no problem right? The problem was that the person whom she thought to be going with seemed to hate her for a reason which had been false. Where had he gone off to? This was only one piece to the complicated puzzle in her mind which did not seem to fit. How troublesome.

The sudden commotion below the third year caused a traffic jam in her many thoughts. Her focus on the sky broke as her eyes fell back down to earth along with her mind. What was below her? She focused her eyes and found the un-named figure in the darkness. The one who had disturbed the leaves stillness.

"Ello."

Curiosity sprung to life in the Mihael's eyes as she continued to stare down at the boy. What was he doing here? Most students feared this place and yet here he was in the middle of the night at who knows what hour. "Uh... Hi." She replied rather stupidly, still perplexed by his presence. She shook her head as if to clear it from any previous thoughts and looked back down at him. "What might you be doing out here?" She asked him, her voice honestly curious. It suddenly dawned on her that it was rather difficult to hold a conversation while she was still up in a tree. Silly Ally.

Her focus broke away from him and turned her head in search of a way to get down. She could have just simply jumped from her location, but it would seem rather odd to see someone leap from this height and land safely on the ground, unscathed. She slid both of her legs over the side of the branch and slid off, grabbing another branch only feet below and swung down to land a few paces away from him. She stood up and let her eyes find him once again. "I'm Ally." She stated, introducing herself with a polite voice, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Now that she could see him a bit more clearly, she could see that he was a bit younger than her. Not by much, maybe a second year? Not that it mattered in the least to the girl. She had always lacked the talent of guessing ages. She tilted her head to the side, allowing her bangs to cross her eyes for a moment before she swept them out of the way.

He glanced at the girl in the tree.Well he thought it was a girl and hoped it was but the funny thing was that all this time she had been sitting on this branch and he had not noticed till he felt a presence over him so he had suddenly looked up and wa-la there she was.Scaring the living crap out of him.He yawned and covered his mouth and took off his glasses for a near second to clean all the fog off that the forest was causing.

He then neatly placed them back over his eyes and combed some of his hair out of his face with his fingers so he could see what was going on.The girl then climbed down from the branch and stood in front of him and introduced herself as Ally.He grinned and nodded.Was there any easy way to introduce himself without confusion he had a very unique name because one he was Italy and he was Italian and there would be no easy way introducing himself as Valentino there was not any nickname or a short way of saying Valentino other then Valentin.

He sighed and glanced at her.[/font][/size]"Nice to meet cha Ally."He said grinning then he waited a few seconds to introduce himself.But before he could answer she had asked him what he was doing out here."Um.....well you know I could not sleep and I was bored and I wanted to do something I never did before."He said nodding.He had snuck out before but never like this.Where it was against the rules but he was known to break the rules.

"I'm Valentino."He said expecting a confusion glance from the girl but really hoping for a nod or something.He glanced around the forest noticing it was getting darker by the second but not bothering him at all since he was use to darkness.He then glanced back at the girl and lost her for a second then he noticed her maybe a bit older then he was but could not exactly tell how old she was he was not good at clarifying age or anything.He glanced around at the scenery.Then decided to reverse her question."What are you doing out here.....all alone....and in the dark?"He questioned her and then waited for her response.

"Nice to meet cha Ally."

She mirrored his grin, "It's nice to meet you too...." She stopped short, realizing that she did not know his name. Guess that would have been a better question to ask rather than what he was doing out here. Oh well. She raised her hand to her bangs as they annoyingly fell into her eyes once again, and brushed them to the side. Making a mental note to get her hair cut, she looked back at the guy with a friendly smile.

"Um.....well you know I could not sleep and I was bored and I wanted to do something I never did before."

She was here in the depths of the forest for the same reasons.... well, similar ones anyway. It got to be quite boring after staring up at the ceiling of the common room for who knows how long. "Does that mean you've never been out here before?" She asked, indicating the forest. This was Allison's third time making a trip into the forest and certainly not her last. She enjoyed the darkness of the forest for many reasons, one of them being the quietness. Tonight, however, she would rather have company than spend the lonely hours of the night alone. Odd for the third year.

A sudden chilly breeze cut through the trees in a swift stream, causing another disturbance of the leaves. Her eyes were drawn toward her surroundings as she looked around. She really needed to quit being so jumpy, but she could not help it. It reminded her too much of events she wish she could forget. Still a bit on edge, she turned her head back to the student who had introduced himself.

"I'm Valentino."

A small smile lit up her features as he spoke. "That's a cool name." She commented. She always thought her name was a little bleak. In her opinion it would be awesome to have a name such as his. "Is it Italian or something?" She guessed, honest curiosity in her eyes. The curiosity faded away at his next question. "Not sure..." She murmured, looking away for a moment. That was not much of an answer, she should add more since he had answered all her questions. "Guess I was just looking for something to do. Could not sleep." She added, turning back to him a faint smile tugging at the corner of her lip. "Not many people are up at this hour and I doubt those who were would have come into the forest with me." Not many people enjoyed the forest. Nope.
