Intro:
Okay, hello all, my name is Wind, as you can see.. I am a girl So, this is my first fanfic ever posted on FFN.. I have to warn you, I do tend to write a bit complex, so if you're just not interested in reading descriptive stories with grammar and an actual *plot* then well, TRY reading something NEW for a change!! Anywayz the first five chapters (maybe more) are written a bit too detailed, so it may be hard for you to understand what I'm trying to say. I'll try (if possible) to explain myself better in the future. yet my first few chapters have already been written and I don't feel at all like changing all of them. I expect critism! Constructive if you may, that means I will surely expect reviews. That's my way of knowing that you are reading and I'm not just posting out randomly.
**ahem** I think that's all I have to say. at least. Expect more of my comments between chapters or in the chapters. Here I am just explaining what I expect, and more importantly what you can expect.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the work written by JK, that includes characters, places, names etc. I do own, however, every other thing I wrote and came up with that isn't written or mentioned in JK books. Including my own set of original characters.
Without further due.. this is the beginning of "Alive.. or Just Breathing?"
The wind whooshed softly swaying Lily's auburn hair away from her face. Her steady breathing couldn't hide the fear locked up in her mind. She swallowed hard as she ran deeply into the forest. Her emerald green eyes searched for a hiding place as she struggled to keep herself from looking back. She forced her legs to run faster than her body could go as she made out a clearing just a few meters away. She shut her eyes focusing on running quicker than she had ever run before. The foliage became moderated as she moved forward and a ray of hope allayed her tremor. As she ran closer to safety, a root trapped her feet and she tripped face downward. She landed hard on her cheek and felt the moistened soil urging her to stand up. However, her legs were worn out and shaky. She was disabled to move in any direction. Her breathing became unstable as her eyes examined the ground for a weapon. A hand went over her mouth and an arm dragged her body through the forest deepening in its heart. Lily shook her head trying to set herself free but the hand's grip was so tight that breathing alone seemed an impossible task to achieve. Tears flooded down her cheeks covered in soil as Lily realized that she was being drawn to her death. She could feel her kidnapper's breath on her neck. She made a silent prayer sobbing that she had failed in her mission and that everyone was doomed because of her. Her oppressor sat her on a rock and freed Lily from his hold. Lily opened her mouth as if to scream to warn the others or cry for help but no sound came out and her body ached so that she couldn't run away even if her oppressor gave her the chance to. Lily bit her lips trying to gain courage to stand up at her opponent but her strength had vanished somewhere between her Father's death and her friends' backs. She felt a hand touching her shoulder and she squirmed weakly. Her oppressor's steps stopped beside her and Lily closed her eyes. She hoped it would end soon so she could be with her Father wherever he was. Lily took a deep breath and finding her voice, said weakly. "I am ready." She waited to hear the mortal words but they never came. She opened her eyes and met a deep blue indigo pair of eyes. Her oppressor was kneeled in front of her staring at her eyes almost in disbelief. Lily's heart started throbbing quickly and her eyes welled up with salty water. She smiled weakly and threw herself into the arms of the kneeled boy. The boy took her in and hugged her tightly hoping that she wouldn't evaporate, tears coming out from his eyes. Lily caressed his jet-black hair and a smile drew in her face. She started crying. "Lily," James whispered calmly. "Why are you crying? Don't cry." He let go of the redhead girl whose eyes resembled salty waterfalls. He stroked her face with his hand and took her chin. He held her face closer to his and gazed unto her bright green eyes that he had admired for so long. "James, I thought you-you were d-dead." She said gazing into James's indigo eyes. "When Dumbledore showed me the letter-I hardly-I couldn't believe it." She finished as a tear streamed down her cheek and landed on her lips.
"You got it all wrong. You should be happy, silly." James said sweetly. "Not crying." He grinned and winked at her. "These are joyful tears, foolish. I thought I was never going to see you again." She looked at the ground as memories of past times swarmed up to her mind. James turned her head tenderly and held her closer. "I would never leave you." he assured her. "It's not in my Potterish nature." He leaned forward and kissed her lips gently. It had been so long since their lips had met that they melted and became one for a few minutes. Lily pulled away and snapped back to reality even though she didn't feel ready to face it. "James, what about the others? We have to help them." She supported her hand in James's shoulder and tried to stand up. She failed and tumbled landing beside the rock she had stood up from. "You, young lady, have done enough for now. I'll take care of everything. I suppose this is yours." He searched through his black robes' pockets and withdrew a brownish wand. "I found it near the Whomping Willow, I thought you could use it." He handed it to her and clasped her hand around it. "Be careful. Will you be all right alone?" he asked in a worried tone. Lily smiled at him warmly. "I'm sure. Now hurry up! Remus can be very dangerous to first and second years students. And, please, try not to be lost this time, Prongs." She kissed him in the cheek. James tried to smile but his concern was noticeable in his face. "I'll BE fine! Honestly! Now you really need to hurry up, Remus might hurt someone. Or even hurt himself." Lily urged him almost pleading. "But-" James started. He knew that it was his duty to protect Hogwarts but he refused to leave Lily on her own. "James Potter, remember I can beat you in dueling and you just gave me my wand back. So, I could easily blow you back to Hogwarts, or you can return by your own methods. Either way, you are going back to help and I'll have to stay here until I recover my strength. Don't fret, I'm a big girl and I know how to take care." She pointed her wand at him. James shook his head. He knew it was useless standing up to her, she had always defeated him in arguments. "Be careful." He repeated as he stood up to leave. He began marching and he glanced back at the redheaded girl. "I'LL BE FINE!" Lily yelled merrily. She was happy to see him and somehow she knew that everything would be all right. Her eyes wandered into her surroundings. She took her wand and smiled. "Okay, let the fun begin." She said to herself as she spun her wand and rainbow colored sparkles came from its tip.
