On the edge of the forest...

[Anya Delioncour]

On the edge of the forest sat a third year gryffindor, writing away in a small book. Most likely her diary. Secluded away from everyone else, Anya Delioncour sighed. She had refused to be around people for the past week or so. She felt to guilty.

After the whole episode with the journal, Anya had refused to face even her best friend. She didn't deserve to have a friend as awesome as Lily! However, she hadn't even tried to avoid Kai. It seemed more like he was avoiding her. Had she truely been that awful?

It wasn't like she had really wanted to take Robyn's journal. She just /did/. And now she had ruined Robyn /and/ Remus' lives. Atleast she hadn't broadcasted that Remus was a werewolf. If she had, she prolly would have killed herself.

Thats certainly what she felt like doing now. Surely everone hated her. She was even more of a bitch than Celestia! And that was pretty terrible. Sighing again, the brunette studied what she had written.

/Forgive me when tomorrow comes
Tell me that you'll always stay
Wake me when tomorrow comes
Refuse to join the fray

When the world goes black
And slanders my name
And the words start to hack
I know you'll be there for me
If only for your own fame.../

It made no sense what so ever. But then again, neither did ANya.

^{There was a soft cough from above, and then a sing-song voice said, "Sporky, Sporky, Sporky ... Have you been avoiding me?"
A lad dropped down from a nearby tree, and quickly bounced over to where Anya was, plopping down beside her. A wide grin was on his face, as he pulled a leaf from the thorny crown of blonde spikes - a.k.a, his hair.
"Or maybe it was me ... If was, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." He smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his head and coughing again. Not a proper cough, just something to fill in the silence.
"You been okay since I last saw you? You don't look too happy." Kai Charlton leant forwards, fingers gently brushing a lock of Anya's hair out of her eyes. He pulled backwards, smile replacing his look of curiosity. "Anything you want to tell me?"}

Anya immediatly looked up, hearing her nickname. A soft smile appeared on her face when she saw Kai. "I havn't been avoiding you. I've been avoiding everone else, but not you." She sighed softly. "I suppose you know about the whole Robyn incident, then?" He had prolly been there, but she had been too... out of it to look.
