Walking In The Rain

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa was out walking the grounds taking some pictures when all of a sudden clouds blew in out of no where and it began pouring rain. "Crap" she muttered to herself trying to protect her camera from the rain. The forest was the closest cover she could find so she ran there. Once she was under the cover of trees Arisa pulled her camera out of her jacket and began taking some pictures wondering farther and farther into the forest. After a while the rain stopped and Arisa looked where she was for the first time. She was in a spooky looking clearing. Arisa shivered a little as she heard some twigs snapping out in the distance. Oh god, I've never been this far into the forest before, its freaky out here she thought trying to find out which way she came from.

A free day was something that Siobhan needed, and finally had, to just clear her head. Walking around the grounds, she noticed the forest. She had never exactly been in it yet, even though she knew it was forbidden. She kept walking along side it, though, just peering at it out of the corner of her eye. Suddenly, she felt raindrops pouring on her head. Running for the only cover close enough, she ran into the trees, trying to duck the rain. She just wasn't in the mood to get wet.

She just kept walking, and thinking. At the same time, it was quite easy for someone to become lost while multi-tasking. The little raindrops she had been feelings stopped, and so did she. Looking around, she took a step forward and accidentally snapped some twigs. Giving a quick squeak, her heart started to race. She didn't like being in here, alone.

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa heard a little squeak and just started running not caring which way she was going anymore. She was so scared she didn't even notice her shirt getting caught on a a branching causing a rip on her side and a shallow but long cut. Looking behind her to make sure nothing was chasing her Arisa ran right past a red headed girl standing there and ran into a tree. "Ouch" she muttered looking up at the sky. Things were a bit blurry because some tears had popped up in her eyes but she quickly wiped them away and sat up. Rubbing her head Arisa turned around and saw the girl she had ran past, "Oh hello, who are you?" she asked completely forgetting she had been scared.

 

[Siobhan McGowan]

Siobhan heard footsteps coming towards her and her breathing became heavy. She wasn't sure whether she had a better chance of running or staying where she was and hiding. Suddenly, a light, blond haired blur ran past her and into a tree. Siobhan gasped and ran over quickly to the girl. The girl asked who she was and Siobhan couldn't help but laugh.

"Are you sure you're okay?" she asked, first and foremost. "And I'm Siobhan. What's your name?" wanting to see if the girl could tell her something just in case her head injury was serious.

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa stood up and walked over to the girl, "Yeah I'm fine I've had worse, trust me, I'm Arisa" she replied to Siobhan. Arisa looked around at where she was, "Do you have any idea where we are? I mean I know the forest but how far from the school?" she asked. Just then Arisa remembered her camera, "Oh poop! I dropped my camera! Could you help me look for it?" she asked the girl. That camera was Arisa's prized possession and if anything had happened to it she didn't know what she would do.

 

[Siobhan McGowan]

Siobhan repeated the name in her head along with the picture of her face. Arisa. She'd never heard the name before and thought it was very pretty. She was thankful Arisa said she was okay and didn't push the subject anymore. Siobhan thought about Arisa's question for a moment and shrugged, wrapping her around herself protectively.

"I really don't have any idea. I came in here to get away from that awful weather out there," she replied, looking back up at the top of the forest, a rain drop falling on her face. When Arisa panicked about her camera, Siobhan nodded. "Sure. Where did you have it last? Did it get dropped when you fell?" she asked, looking over near the tree where Arisa had collided with the ground.

 

[Arisa Havishmen]

Arisa continued to look for her camera walking deeper into the forest, "I think I dropped it when I began running, some twigs snapping scared me" she replied. After a few more minutes of searching Arisa found her camera on the forest floor, "Oh thank Merlin" she said with a sigh before picking up and running back to Siobhan, "I don't know what I would do if I lost this" she said smiling and taking some pictures.

 

[Siobhan McGowan]

Siobhan glanced around, following Arisa's footsteps to help her find her camera. Once she found it, Siobhan smiled. She hated losing things herself, especially things that seemed important to her, like this camera did to Arisa. "So, you're a photographer?" she asked, smiling.
