Vanessa walked out to the lake, thinking of how she had acted so stupid towards her friends. She sat down on a rock then felt her eyes water up. She couldnt help it anymore, she let the tears pour down like rain.
Maddy sat down next to Vanessa. She put her head in her hands but didn't cry. She couldn't cry. She waited until Vanessa to stop crying.
"Im so stupid." Vanessa said. She lifted up her head, tears still streaming down her face. Her mascara ran down her cheeks.
"Why?" Maddy said plainly.
Vanessa whiped her eyes. "I... I dont know. I cant help but think that I have done so many things wrong." She said, hoping that Maddy would be the only one to see her like this.
"You need to open up... Maybe let your emotions show a little more." Maddy was being blunt but she didn't care. All she wanted was the old Vanessa back. The one who didn't care what people thought and was so outgoing. The one who didn't hold anything back... not even what she was feeling. "Why have you changed so much?" She asked her looking into her eyes... locking gazes so that Vanessa wouldn't look away.
Vanessa studdered. "I... I dont know what you mean." She looked down at her phone, it was allmost midnight. She felt another rush of tears.
"What is it Vanessa?" Maddy asked her curiously by the way she looked at her phone.
"It just with the deal with Maddie... and well I feel like I hurt Sky when me and Blaze started going out... but dont think that I regreat going out with Blaze. Because there is no way I would ever regreat that." Vanessa said, feeling stupid.
Blaze swore he thought some crying and was shocked to see Vanessa and Maddy talking, he felt weird. Ever since he had started going out with Vanessa they had never seemed to have any time together alone but he guessed she was busy with Maddy, she was going through a tough time and only Vanessa seemed to make smile anymore. He sighed, not sure to walk away or make an entrance. He wondered what they were talking about and felt an odd sense of loneliness inside.
Vanessa heard some footsteps, and turned around to see it was Blaze. Oh great I look like crap. She whiped her eyes again and walked over to him. "Hey." She said, softly.
((wait I'm confused now....I really have missed too much.....))
"Vanessa... You just need to stop worrying about stuff...." Maddy said wiping the mascarra off of Vanessa's face. "Everything will end up the way its supposed to be.." Maddy couldn't stand it when her friends were hurt. It made her feel like crying yet again. "Hey Blaze..." Maddy said as she got up to talk to him. "You should probably go talk to her... she needs you." Maddy wisphered to Blaze.
Blaze gave Maddy a soft smile, "I'll try" he said whispering to her. Then he took a seat next to Vanessa and smiled. He took her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Vanessa forced a smile, it was hard to be sad when he was around. "I just... My friend Maddie, she passed away last night."
((look at Maddie........... for more info lol))
Blaze was shocked, he didn't even know that. He chocked, not knowing what to say. "I'm... i'm so sorry. Can i do anything to help?" he asked. He had known Maddie for a bit but he wasn't nearly as close to her as Vanessa was.
"Its fine." Vanessa said, trying to keep her eyes from watering up.
Blaze wasn't to sure what to say so he just gave her his best smile he could make at that moment. He moved closer to her, "It's ok to cry, you'll feel a lot worse if you suck it in. Trust me"
Vanessa smiled, a tear rolling down her cheak. It was weird that you could be so happy but so sad at the same time/
Blaze gave her a light hug, "Well i'll be here for you, whenever and forever. I just want you to know that." he said silently.
Vanessa huged him back, it felt good being in someones arms. "Thank you."
Blaze smiled, "Do you want some time alone, or should i stay?"
"No its fine, stay." Vanessa said, conforted.
Maddy sat back down on the bench and pulled out her phone. (I like being able to have cell phones even tho in the books they can't.) She texted her sister who just got out of the hospital. How are you? She typed and hit send. As she was waiting for a reply she realized something.... Her father was behind everything that happened. The only target left was..... Maddy. Chills ran down her back. She quickly got up and went over to Vanessa and Blaze. She didn't care if Blaze heard her. "Vanessa, my father has hurt everyone in my family..... except for... ME!" She was so frightened. "I'm so scared...."
Vanessa turned, scared for her friend. Then she realized something too. "Hey Maddy... you know that we have allways been like sisters." She thought that there was more than one left on Maddys fathers mind.
"NO..... He knows you're here too... What are we going to do?" Maddy was scared for both of them. Vanessa was like a sister and if her father was after Maddy, he would go for Vanessa too..... "Vanessa..." Maddy said, barely above a whisper, looking at her with wide eyes....
Blaze was super surprised by what Maddy had just said. He was wishing that this was just a bad dream but it was obviously not. "What ever you're going to do, you need to act fast and whatever you're going to do I'm going to help, ofcourse" he said standing up now.
"But I really have no idea what to do. Its not like we can just run away from here because my dad will be able to track us down. If we stayed.... even worse will happen... So the only way to stop him... is well just to face him." Maddy said with a look on her face that no one... no one had ever seen before. She wanted to cry... she just wanted to kill her father. "I have no idea what to do." Maddy mumbled looking down at her feet.
Vanessa sat there, not knowing what to say. She didnt want to loose her perfect boyfriend or her best friend.
Blaze gave them a forced smile, "Well ofcourse he'll do what ever he wants if you're facing him alone but come on. You've made enough friends here to start are own school. Besides you need to talk to Dumbeldore or any teacher. We're not even sure where he is and what he's doing. And I think i know some one that can help" he said to them, hoping they trusted him.
"Yeahh." Vanessa said, her voice shakky.
Blaze glanced his eyes down, he knew that they had to get some backup, be it Hogwarts or something past that. He could get something past Hogwarts but he needed their full trust first.
"Yeah..." Maddy said nodding her head, her gaze passing between Blaze and Vanessa. "Do whatever you think will help." Maddy said, trusting him completely.
Blaze smiled at Maddy, she was going through a lot and he hoping he knew what he was doing. He held out his hand to Vanessa, "Trust Me?" he asked.
"You dont even have to ask that question." Vanessa forced a soft smile. "Of course I trust you."
Blaze kissed her softly on the cheek and then walked a few yards back pulling out his wand. He pointed it into the air and shot out a brilliant orange light that burst as it reached the air. ~I need your help~ he thought to Leron. "Do you have any idea where you're dad is or when he might come?" he asked Maddy.
Maddy closed her eyes and thought for a second. "He is coming.... tomorrow." She told him, her voice shaking. "I'm not for sure but I think he is just outside of a nearby town." She began shaking.... the thought of her dad....
Blaze gulped, he didn't except time to be cut so short. "Well all i can do for you guys is provide back up. I think you ought to go to Dumbeldore" he said to them. "I'll be back, later tomorrow. You can message me telepathically if somethings wrong." He smiled at them, "Everything will be fine, i promise you" With that he left, hoping they would know what to do. He walked a short distance than disapparated to an old house on a lost island. The orange sparks had obviously worked because his uncle was standing there in a dark hooded cloak, waiting for him...
Vanessa saw blaze walk away. She had put on a brave face in front of him but as soon as he left the tears came pouring down. "Maddy what are we going to do!?!?"
"I don't know!" Maddy cried too. She couldn't hold back the tears any longer. "I don't want to tell Dumbledore... I don't know what to do!"
Vanessa thought for a moment. "I think I know where to go." Vanessa said, runing back inside the school. She led Maddy down a long flight of stairs, ending up in a hidden room.
Mira was inside reading when she saw Vanessa run by she followed her to a secret room. "What are you doing here?" Mira then saw Vanessa's face. "What's wrong?"
"Vanessa... What are we doing?" Maddy asked her as she almost tripped down the stairs.
"Mira, please, leave while you can." Vanessa said, trying to hold in more tears. "My boyfriend and my best friend are both allready in a lot of danger."
Leron saw the orange sparks and instantly new what Blaze was doing, not sure why though. He sprinted downstairs and saw Vanessa, Maddy, and Mira. "What's going on?" he asked getting to the point quickly.
"I was just wondering the same thing." Callie said, walking out of the shadows.
Leron glanced over, looking softly at Callie then turned back at Vanessa and Maddy for some answers. He hoped Blaze new what he was doing. Things could go out of control if this was a false alarm.
"What ever you guys need let me know i want to help" said Kilynn running towards them.
"What do you need?" she said, out of breath.
"I don't care I've almost died before I don't care!"
"This is something that Vanessa and I need to take care of alone. No one that doesn't need to get involved shouldn't. Its way too big of a risk. I'm sorry guys." Maddy said as her and Vanessa took off running again.
"You aren't leaving without me." She started after them.
"NO!" Maddy yelled. She was so frustrated. "You can't come! Just stay here!" Maddy and Vanessa apparated to where they need to go. "Where are we?" She asked Vanessa.
Leron got a little angry, he hated it when people wouldn't let them help. If his brother was helping them then so was he. He caught Vanessa right before she disapparated. "Listen to me, it's not about putting each other in danger, we need to work together to pull through this, whatever it is"
Maddy heard what Leron said and replied to him. "This has to do with MY father. Blaze is only helping because he is dating Vanessa and DOESN'T want her killed. Please... Just stay out of it. No one else needs to be killed." Maddy was so pissed now.
Leron was a little frustrated as well, "So according to you, we should all back off and let you hide out here until one day when your father comes and kills you? And how do you know your dad is so powerful, he sounds like the next Dark Lord the way your warning us!"
Mira quickley followed Leron. She was beyond pissed. "Exactly!"
((hey guys if you didn't want all of us to help you should have made this invite only))
Kilynn was frusterated too.
"Obliviously you need our help or we wouldn't be here, now would we?" Kilynn said, her temper returning.
"If you don't need us then why are we here?"
She admired Mira as a friend.
"Yeah, what is going on?" she asked to follow up Mira's statment
(just so ya kno... we are in a totally different room now so... ur not exactly talking to anyone... sorry... you guys can still post and everthing.. its just that i kinda... idk! Sorry... just going thro somethings in real life...)
(well I grabbed your arm before you apparated so I think I'm with you and V in the room and I think Leron came with or something?)
(i kno... but then we dissappeared.. after you grabbed her arm. okay this is getting confusing.)
(can we pretend you didn't apparate and are standing with everyone else???)
(yeah sure...)
Maddy was standing in front of everyone. She felt her cheeks getting hot and her eyes turning red. She was so furious. "I just don't want anyone to get hurt. If we need you... we will ask you for help." Maddy explained.
"Oh really?" Mira's hair was now turning red with anger and it started to rege around her head like a forest fire daring for anything to come close. "I doubt that you'll ask for our help if your dying!" Her eyes were turning red and black and getting very big as if one look at you could kill you.
"I'm sorry... You guys can help... I don't care." Maddy gave up... If they wanted to risk their lives that was their thing. She was just trying to protect them.
Mira's hair flattened. "Thanks for the concern, but I don't need protecting."
"I'm sorry... this just has nothing to do with anyone... I don't want to have to explain it either..." Maddy talked barely above a whisper. Her voice quivering, "If... if you want to help just... just follow us.. I guess."
"Maddy you don't have to explain... I know what this is about..."
"Wha... What?" Maddy studdered. "What is it about?"
"Well, I was at the lake swimming and I heard you talking and I didn't mean to eavesdrop! But you and Vanessa and Blaze sounded SSOOO worried so I was about to pop up... to offer help, but you kinda ran away so I apparated to my room and then I heard you running past so ..... here we are."
Vanessa rolled her eyes and grabbed Maddy and Kilynns arm. She disaperated to another room. She hated it when people didnt get that she really didnt need anymore help. If she wanted help, she would ask for it. "Okay now that thats over..."
Mira tapped her foot and got really pissed. "She knew what wasgoing on and knew how to stop it... Why were they so stubborn?"
"What are we doing... And where are we?" Maddy asked Vanessa as she looked around.
"I dont know but I was just getting really annoyed. Im older than them... I can fend for myself." Vanessa said rolling her eyes.
"Yeah...." Maddy agreed. "I get so tired of them sometimes." She said with an annoyed look.
Vanessa could tell who Maddy was talking about. She nodded her head in agreement.
"So Vanessa.... What are we going to do?" She asked her wanting an answer.
"Sit here and wish this wasnt happening." Vanessa said simply. She didnt reallly know what to do.
((how do u kno that!?!? vanessa is just as good as u so quit))

"Sit here and wish this wasnt happening." Vanessa said simply. She didnt reallly know what to do.
"Yeah.... But... I think we have got to do something." Maddy said a little annoyed. "Wait.... We need to get a hold of Blaze and see where he went." Maddy said quickly as she turned to Vanessa.
"Ok." Vanessa said simply.
Maddy apparated into the forest... hoping that Vanessa would follow.... She layed down on the ground and stared up at the stars... almost as if she was waiting for an answer to all her problems..... Mom... I miss you so much.... A tear ran down her face and she wiped it away.
Mira decided this was a personal time and she just walked out to the forest. She sat and looked into the lake. "Why won't they let me help... I was just trying to stop them from going through the same thing I did..."
