The wind blew slightly though the trees, rippling her chocolate brown hair as she looked through the window. Her brown eyes shone with determination. Her blue jean shorts were old and ripped. She threw on her old tennis shoes. And she grabbed a thick rope. She walked over to the open window and slung it over till she heard it tap against the ground. She secured it from inside and climbed down. Finally her feet hit the hard ground. She tied her now undone shoelace, and stood up confidently.

She needed fresh air. To think about a few things. She walked away from the castle, praying she wouldn't get caught. Then she picked up the pace, running. She ran to her favorite place, the lake. She sat down on a nearby rock, pulling her sweatshirt over her head. She wraped her arms around herself, trying to stay warm. She hated being alone. She wished someone else was out here...

Okay... So people say I have an amazing talent for writing, I should get my books published, etc...
But I can't seem to stick to one?
I start writing, but then get other ideas. So I give up on the story and start a new one.
Does any other writers have this problem?

Vanessa started the music, the beat pounding her ears. Her feet started moving, crip walking. She had been practicing... And she wasn't gonna lie, she was really good. She kept going, throwing in a few twists. Then she stoped, waiting to see what Kilynn would do. They didn't really have any reason behind the dance off, excpet for the fact that they were really bored.

((I posted this in the RPG, but now that I read it, I think it should be a story... So here it goes...))

She couldn't take. Not again. It was the last time. She could promise herself that. The wind blew slightly though the trees, rippling her chocolate brown hair as she looked through the window. Her brown eyes shone with determination. Her blue jean shorts were old and ripped. This was the final straw.

She did the only thing that she could think of. She grabbed her old backpack and stuffed it till she could barely zip it. She threw on her old tennis shoes. And she grabbed a thick rope. She walked over to the open window and slung it over till she heard it tap against the ground. She secured it from inside and climbed down. Finally her feet hit the hard ground. She tied her now undone shoelace, and stood up confidently.

She loved this place... She really did. But sometimes you heart calls you to so something crazy. Sometimes you don't quite understand it, but you know deep down inside that it is right. So she listened to her heart and ran.

She felt almost as if she was flying; she didn't know she could run so fast. She felt so free. Like nothing in this world could stop her. So she kept going. Her head raced with crazy thoughts. Mostly about Blaze and Maddy. She didn't want to leave them. She would miss them so much. But she had to. Otherwise she would never know what her heart wanted.

A small drop of water hit her face, then another, untill she was soaked. So much for it being a clear night. She felt mud splash up her tan legs as her feet hit the forming puddles. Her hair stuck to her wet shoulders. Her jean had formed yet another rip. But for some reason she didn't care. All she cared about was getting away. Farther and farther.

She didn't understand anything. Her head was so full of thoughts it felt almost blank. She wanted out of it. The pain. The fear. The hate. And she realized that she was only running from one thing. Herself.

(This takes place some time back, when Vanessa ran away from Hogwarts.)

She knew how they felt. She had always been the same way. Stuck at Hogwarts while everyone else went to see their families. They need something special. She decided, an idea popping into her head. "Hey! Everyone!" She yelled, heads turning to face her.

"All older students, meet me in the Great Hall. Were going to have an Easter Egg Hunt for the younger students." She always had Easter Egg Hunts before her parents left her. This would be the perfect thing to do.

She walked to the Great Hall, students following. She pulled out her wand, muttering a few spells. Tons of eggs, filled with candy, appeared. "Hide the eggs then meet up here. Don't worry, you'll get a reward too." She smiled. "And I'll go explain the rules to the younger kids."

She walked back into the other room. "Okay, were going to have an Easter Egg Hunt for you guys! So..." She said another spell and baskets appeared. "Grab a basket, let me explain the rules, and then we'll go!"

The room was dark, only lit up by flashing, neon lights. The floor shook slightly, as the music pounded though the speakers. People crowed together, yelling over the music as they danced. A female voice boomed over the speakers:

"You want this don't front qué qué qué pasa. Speak up cuál es la cosa. Ven aquí let's get closer and closer. I say no-oh-oh. If you wanna take it slow-oh-oh. Catch up well now let's go-oh-oh. Together we run the show-oh-oh. I say no-oh-oh. If you wanna take it slow-oh-oh. Don't stop well now let's go-oh-oh. Together we run the show-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh."

It all seemed normal to Vanessa. This was just the way she lived. She weaved though the crowd, catching several eyes. She was hard to miss, her long brown hair falling on her shoulders. Her pink tank-top and skirt stood out, compared to the usual plain colored outfits. She walked up to the stage, the singer giving her a smile. Of course she would, after all this was Vanessa's party. Graduation party in fact. She had finally made it though Hogwarts. Now if only she could find Blaze...

(This is about Vanessa's life before Hogwarts, when she was around fourteen because she didn't find her powers till she was older. It's in first person point of view.)

--Chapter One--

I shook the box gently. "Pleaseee mom! Only one early Christmas present. I won't ask again till Christmas!"

I had always been one to push things because I was used to always getting my way. I smiled sweetly at my mother as I saw her straight face give in. "Fine Vanessa, you and Lisa can open one present."

I smiled even bigger, my ways always working. Then I turned to Lisa, laughing as I ripped the paper. We had been close, being twins. You never saw us appart. I was always the loud one, her the quiet. We balenced eachother out. She smiled back at me as we held up our gifts. I had gotten a new purse, even then I was fashion crazy. Lisa had gotton a new book. We turned to our mom, saying "Thank you!" in unison. My family was so normal back then, and now I look back on it like it was all a dream. There was no Voldemort then, no evil, no death.

Then I ran up to my room and called Maddy, we had been friends then even. She lived down the road and our moms had introduced us to eachother when we were still crawling. We had been best friends ever since. We were inseperable, always the partners in crime. And trust me, we were troublemakers! Lisa would hang out with us some, but after a while she prefered to keep to herself. I didn't realize how we were drifting apart...

I was bored and looking at the site stats and I am one of the top topic starters! How awesome is that?

I need advice!

"Maddy" and my cousin were "talking." Then Friday night all of my friends and other people from my class went to a lock-in thing at the YMCA. My cousin and Maddy got into a fight, but then he asked her out later after they fixed things. Well my cousin doesn't get along with the guys in my class, so they were telling Maddy not to say yes. Finnally she told him no. All of my other friends and I were mad that it appeared that she did it just to impress the guys. Then my other friend started talking to him on the phone, and now they like eachother and are talking. But Maddy and my other friend are mad at eachother. Who's right?

Vanessa was talking her and some friends on a trip away from school. She was waiting for every to go. They were all going to go to London.

Vanessa was walking around aimlessly. The rain was falling softly lightning ocasionally lighing up the night sky. She was wearing a pink hoodie and blue shorts. She had her hood up. She really have anywhere to go...

The rain fell down hard as the lightning lit up the sky ahead. Shortly after was a low rumble of thunder. The wind howled, rustling the leaves in the nearby trees. The rain hit the ground, splattering mud up against Vanessa's already wet legs. She heard another boom of thunder, and she walked a little faster. She suddenly stopped, knowing that she was there. The small house looked as if no one had lived in it in ages. She walked up the cracked sidewalk, opening the door. The room was simply lit by a candle, making it hard to see. Vanessa sat down the large bag she had been carrying on her shoulders.

"Your finally here." Said a cold voice from behind her.

"Sorry." Vanessa muttered. "I just want to put everyone out of the misery I've caused them."

"If only you would have realized what a reck you are sooner." The voice said hastely. "Then you wouldn't have messed up so many lives, foolish child."

The words stung Vanessa. All she could say was: "I know."

She hung her head in shame, and she heard the wind blow again, shaking the small building.

Graduation Day... Already. Vanessa thought, stressed. In a few hours she would be graduating, and starting a new life outside of Hogwarts. She walked into the Great Hall to see everyone working frantically to get everything prepared. Vanessa started to look around for family coming in, when she realized that her mother and father probably would not come.

So whats everyone look like in real life? Sorry I'm just really curious!

Anyone wanna talk on AIM? I'm bored out of my mind.

"Hello? Anyone out here?" Vanessa yelled, her voice shaking. She had planed on a peaceful walk, but it quickly became dark and now she was lost. "Can anyone hear me?"

She jumped, hearing a rustle behind her. She quickly started running, afraid. She raced as fast as she could, swearving between trees. Then she screamed as she tripped over an small log, hidden in the dark. She grabbed her throbbing ankle and searched for her wand. She couldn't find it in the dark and the footsteps of whatever was following her were getting closer.

Vanessa was lost. Not paying attention and cutting class had finnally caught up with her. There was an exam and she knew nothing. She looked over her book again, but she just got more confused.

Vanessa packed the last of her suitcases. She was going to take a week away from school. There were too many dangers right now. She was thinking about having Maddy and Blaze come too, but she wasn't sure. She didn't want anything to happen to them while she was gone. So she pulled out her pink slider cell phone and quickly punched in Maddy's number. "Meet me outside... now!"

Was it really my fault that Blaze and Maddy left? Vanessa though, Mollys words ringing in her head.
