Ok so this is the surprising Day 1 of the Forbidden Forest.
I thought it was so good, I didn't even let my Editor, DrooblesandDrachma read it.
Just a worning in advanced, all of these Forbidden Forest chapters will be long so hang in there.
Alright here it is!!!
Julius POV
We were playing football in the park. I ran to the "end zone," and made a touchdown. I threw down the ball and did a happy dance.
"I let you get that touchdown," said my brother Joel who is also my best friend.
"I'm sure you did. Want a rematch? I beat you once I can beat you ag-"
I heard the loud BOOM, BOOM of thunder from not too far away… I looked over at Joel who was just as startled as I was. We started running as fast as our legs could take us when it started to pour.
We were sprinting at this point when I saw a flash of light and a blood curdling scream. I looked down at my brother who had a large hole in his head and blood was coming from his head and his… foot?
"JOEL!!!!" I yelled once my mind had comprehended what had happened.
He had gotten struck by lightning. It went through his head and out his foot. I started to sob.
I was shaking him and feeling for a pulse that wasn't there.
"JJOELLL!!!!!!" I screamed at the sky.
I wanted to keep running and never stop.
I wanted to run home and cry until I couldn't cry anymore.
My brother was dead.
My best friend was dead.
I did the only thing I could do.
I picked up his lifeless corpse and put it over my shoulder. I ran as fast as I could with a corpse. I cried and the tears flooded my eyes so I couldn't see.
I was outside of our house now. I ran faster and slipped.
Then everything was dark.
I woke with a start.
I was breathing heavily and I felt a cold sweat on my bare chest. I sat up and put my head on my knees to catch my breath.
That nightmare was the worst night of my life.
I looked over at Danielle who was sound asleep. She looked so peaceful with her eyes closed and her ginger hair sprawled out around her head.
I couldn't go back to sleep now. I never can after I have that dream. It's a regular occurrence.
I slowly got out of bed and looked at the clock. It read 6: 45 AM.
I put on a sweatshirt and walked outside to watch the sun rise.
Being in nature helps me to clear my mind and think happy thoughts.
I walked up to a fairly large tree and started making a replica of the one by the lake. I made one loveseat like Danielle had.
Once I was finished I climbed it and sat in my seat positioning myself so that I was leaning against the trunk and had my legs stretched out across the seat.
I was dozing when I heard someone call my name.
"Julius?" called Danielle.
"I'm up here," I said groggily.
She walked up to the tree and looked up.
"Good Morning," I said with a grin.
"Hi. Were you watching the sun rise?" she asked as she climbed up.
"Yeah, I was just clearing my head," I said giving her a one armed hug.
"Of what?"
"Umm… just you know…Stuff," I said. I really wanted to tell her, but I didn't want sympathy and I really didn't want to relive the nightmare.
"Anyways, is everyone else awake?" I asked her changing the subject.
"Well Fred just woke up and he was waking up Em when I came to look for you."
"Oh. Have you eaten breakfast yet?"
"No, but I was just about to. Care to join me?" she asked starting to climb down the tree.
"Yeah. Sure," I said following after her.
We walked into the kitchen and saw Em making pancakes. Fred walked in just then with his hair all messed up and wearing only a pair of plaid pajama pants. Fred's always had a 6 pack, even when he was a first year. He takes pride in his muscles like I do.
"You know there's this cool thing called a hairbrush. You should try it sometime," I said sarcastically.
"Have you looked in the mirror today?" he shot back. I ran my fingers through my hair self cautiously.
Fred walked up to Em and wrapped his arms around her waist giving her a light kiss on her head. She smiled slightly and started to put pancakes on a plate.
"Who wants it?" she asked putting it on a table.
Fred reached out and grabbed it. He put on maple syrup and dug in.
"You know Em, your birthday is in 3 days," said Danielle pouring a glass of milk for Fred.
"Is it really? I had no idea," she said mockingly.
"Yeah you'll be 15 right?"
"Yup. Too bad I have to spend it in the forbidden forest,"
"Why? You're surrounded by all of your friends," replied Fred.
"Because, I won't be able to talk to my parents or anything," she said putting pancakes on a plate and handing it to me.
"That's not so bad. I mean we might as well be your family," I said sitting down at the table.
"I guess so," she said with a sarcastic sigh.
"Mail's here?" I said in a questioning voice because I didn't know we would get our mail.
Oreo, Rumbles, Jasper (Corie's silver Owl), Pablo (Em's light brown, white spotted and white faced Owl), and Onyx (My jet black owl) came swooping in through the large tent flap just as Corie came walking down the stairs. They all dropped our mail in front of us and flew back out.
I got the daily prophet and a letter from Professor.
"Hey guys, There's a letter from Professor," I said as everyone crowded around.
I read it aloud:
Em, Julius, Fred, Danielle and Corie-
For this task, you may need to leave your designated area.
As hard as it may be, you can't always save someone before yourself.
You won't always have the choice.
- Hale
I sighed in relief glad that he didn't cover my biggest fear.
There was a thump as Corie dropped her mail and she went sheet white.
"That's my fear, having to let someone die or kill someone to save myself. I never thought it would actually have to happen though," she said sitting down in a chair so she wouldn't collapse. "Well that and spiders. I hate spiders will an unexplainable passion."
"Well we all know you hate spiders," I said remembering the time Corie screamed in gifted when there was a spider on her desk and she smashed it with her book.
"Shut up," she said turning red. We all burst out laughing as Em handed out the rest of the pancakes before sitting down beside Fred.
"Look we just know we have to stay on guard," I said taking a bite out of a pancake and opening the daily prophet.
The cover was of James's dad. He was releasing a book about the adventure's with Ron and Hermione in finding the horcruxes and then his point of view during the battle scene. Also Including favorite childhood memories with them and their help in defeating Voldemort once and for all.
"Hey look, Mr. Potter is releasing a book," I said showing everyone the cover.
"Oh he never told us that," said Danielle.
"Maybe it was supposed to be a secret," I said trying to keep her from feeling bad.
"Maybe."
"On a different note I'm going to be dating an older woman," said Fred smiling.
"Only by 2 weeks," said Em. "My birthday is on December 1 and yours is on December 15."
"You're still older,"
"Then I guess I'm a cougar." She said with a shrug while taking a bite of her pancake. We all started laughing. It took Fred a few seconds to get it then he laughed too.
"We should get dressed. We never know when we will get a task and we have to be prepared when it happens," said Corie.
"Alright girls go first, then guys," I said.
Corie, Em and Danielle all went upstairs.
"So what did you get Em mate?" I asked Fred who was downing his last pancake.
"Can't tell, but it's going to be good," he said with a grin. I had to get the dream off of my chest. He's the only person I have ever told at Hogwarts about Joel.
"I had the dream again," I said.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked with concern clearly written on his face.
"Well it was like it always is. We were playing football and heard thunder. We ran and he got struck by lightning. I carried his corpse all the way home when I slipped and fell on my head giving me a concussion. That's my fear. Lightning. It scares the bloody hell out of me," I said my gaze not reaching his face.
"Do you think that will be a challenge?"
"Maybe. But how you get rid of lightning anyway?"
"I think the best thing would be Deletrius, the disintegrating charm, or Evanesco, the vanishing charm. Most likely Evanesco though.
"Thanks. You're a truly great friend." I said patting his shoulder.
"You are as well Jul," He said grinning.
"Alright we're done changing," said Danielle as they walked down the stairs.
We walked up the stairs and got changed. I chose a simple white V neck t shirt that was tight, a pair of jeans, and black canvas shoes. Fred wore a blue and white plaid button up left open and with a white tank top underneath that clearly showed off his muscles (like he wanted I'm sure) and a pair of khaki pants, with brown canvas shoes. We brushed our hair and flipped it to the side like we always do.
When we got back down I saw Danielle starting to walk outside. I followed her as she climbed the tree.
"Hey," I said grinning.
"Hi," She said looking down at her hands.
"Is something wrong?"
"No it's just… We need to talk."
"About what?"
"I've known you for a while Julius and I consider you to be one of my best friends. Ever since the day I got on the Hogwarts express this year, I have had a feeling for you different from a friend. Whenever I see you with other girls, I feel angry and I want to scream at them to leave you alone. I think you're the most handsome guy at this school. That day in the tree when you said you didn't know what you would do without me, I realized what this feeling is. I like you, not even like it's more… love. I love you Julius." She said as her deep blue eyes were trapped in mine and I could see the sincerity pouring out of them.
"Danielle…" I started and her eyes welled up with tears.
"I get it. You don't feel the same way about me. I don't blame you. I understand," she said starting to climb down the tree. I grabbed her hand and pulled her back up. She wouldn't look at me so I lifted her chin so I could look into her eyes.
"How could you say that Danielle? I love you. I have loved you since the moment I saw you. I love everything about you. Your laugh. Your smile. Your hair. Your face. You. There is not one person at this school I could ever like more. Sure they like me, but the only person I can like back is you," I said as a smile started to form on her face. I ran a hand through her hair and gripped the back of her neck. I pulled her close and kissed her. It was short, sweet, and amazing. My first kiss.
She smiled her beautiful smile at me and leaned in again. She put one hand on my back and tangled one in my hair to pull me closer to her. I kissed her with everything I had.
She ran her hand through my hair making my scalp prick in the most amazing way. Her lips were so soft against mine.
She broke the kiss to breathe and rested her forehead against mine breathing heavily and looking into my eyes with a smile.
I love her.
And she loves me.
I lay down taking her with me and sighed with contempt.
This is how it's supposed to be.
Here's Danielle's POV from the time that Julius and Fred went upstairs to change to the tree scene.
Danielle POV
Julius smiled at me before walking up the stairs to change.
"You need to do it today," said Em from behind me making me jump a foot.
"Do what?"
"Oh you know exactly what. If you don't do it soon, he's going to think you don't like him back and he'll go after one of the other 150 Gryffindors that like him,"
"There's not that many people that like him," I said crossing my arms over my chest.
"And you don't know what your talking about," I said feeling that weird feeling I got when I saw Rebecca starting plant one on him in the Gryffindor common room making me tear up. He didn't like her though and I laughed when he pushed her off before she even reached his lips.
"She's just trying to get you to make a move. That's very cruel Em," said Corie standing up.
"I know that's what I'm doing. Thanks for ruining it Cor," said Em rolling her eyes and walking up the stairs to Fred.
Julius came down a moment later in a plain, tight, white V neck t shirt that showed off his abs. That's what I love about him. He makes the simple things extravagant.
I hated to admit it, but Em was right and I had made myself the promise to tell him exactly how I feel. Now was the perfect time.
I turned around and walked outside feeling the butterflies filling my stomach when I heard him follow. They were building, and building, then we were sitting a few inches apart, alone.
I was afraid of looking into his eyes so I looked at my hands in my lap.
"Hey," he said casually.
"Hi," I replied lamely continuing to show a fake interest in my hands.
"Is something wrong?" He asked with worry.
"We need to talk,"
"About what?"
I took a deep breath and opened my heart the same time I opened my mouth. I let the words flow out.
"I've known you for a while Julius and I consider you to be one of my best friends. Ever since the day I got on the Hogwarts express this year, I have had a feeling for you different from a friend. Whenever I see you with other girls, I feel angry and I want to scream at them to leave you alone. I think you're the most handsome guy at this school. That day in the tree, when you said you couldn't lose me, I realized what this feeling is because I felt the same way.. I like you, not even like it's more… love. I love you Julius." I said. I looked into his eyes hoping he could see through them and look inside to see that my feelings were true.
He sighed.
"Danielle…" He started. I felt like someone ripped out my heart stabbed it. My eyes filled with unwilling tears.
"I get it. You don't feel the same way about me. I don't blame you. I understand," I saidfeeling humiliated and stupid for even telling him. How could he like someone like me when he has plenty of girls to choose from? Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me back. I couldn't look into his eyes now. He lifted my chin to look into his deep blue, sincere eyes.
"How could you say that Danielle? I love you. I have loved you since the moment I saw you. I love everything about you. Your laugh. Your smile. Your mistakes. You hair. Your face. You. There is not one person at this school I could ever like more. Sure they like me, but the only person I can like back is you," he said. I started smiling. It felt like he picked up the remains of my heart and fixed it leaving me feeling whole. They he removed his hand from my chin and ran his hand through my hair stopping at my neck and gripping it. Then he pulled me in and gave me one amazing yet short kiss.
I wanted another one.
I leaned forward and placed my hand on his muscular back and tangled the other one in his soft hair pulling him closer. His warm hand was on my lower back and the other one placed gently yet firmly on my neck. I wanted to stay like this forever.
Then I had to breathe.
I rested my forehead against his and took even breaths while looking into his beautiful eyes.
Then I remembered.
He loves me.
I smiled and lay down with him placing my head on his chest.
Everything felt right.
Julius POV
Her warm head was on my chest and I was stroking her hair. It was so soft and smelled like vanilla and lavender. I lightly caressed her head then trailed my finger down her back making her shiver. I laughed lightly.
"Julius?" she asked.
"Yes?"
"Can you trust me?"
"Of course."
She sat up so I did too. I looked into her eyes that were turquoise blue, the color of the Gulf of Mexico.
"What did you dream about last night? You were… breathing heavily and… you screamed," she said mumbling the last word and looking everywhere but my face.
That caught me off guard. I was hoping no one had been awake. I took a breath.
"The dream was about my brother."
"I never knew you had a brother, what about him?" She said taking my hand and looking into my eyes with such honesty I knew I could tell her.
"I don't tell people I have a brother because he is dead. The dream was about the night he died," I said looking at the sky and trying to keep a straight face.
I told her about the night he died. And how the last memory I have with him was me gloating and not being a brother… but more importantly not being a friend. I have never gloated again. I told her that I never got to say goodbye. Although I left out the part where after I was conscious and home from the hospital, I locked myself in my room and cried until I couldn't cry anymore.
When I was finished she started tearing up.
"Oh Julius," she said and put her arms around me holding me close. I felt better with her. Everything disappears and she's the only person there.
Then the moment ended with a scream.
Our head snapped up simultaneously. We broke apart and took out our wands.
We scrambled out of the tree and ran to get the others.
They were already outside and we heard another scream.
We ran toward the shriek without thinking. I sprinted full out. I can run really fast when I want to.
The trees broke apart to a clearing.
There was a group of 4 centaurs surrounding something. I saw a small blonde girl in the middle crying and holding her leg that had a serious gash in it. It was bleeding badly.
I acted without thinking.
"Stupify!" I yelled at one sending him backwards.
They all turned and looking at us. We stood side by side unmoving. I looked over at Corie who had a look of courage yet fear in her eyes.
She had to face her fear.
Corie POV
Horrified at the blood that soaked the ground, I turned away, trying to compose myself. My stomach was tying itself in knots as I tried not to lose my lunch. That kid was attacked, but how? Centaurs were civil - if not even gentle - creatures. They don't hurt people, at least not on purpose. So what would give them cause to harm this poor girl?
And also, who was this girl? What did she have to do with all of this?
Julius took the girl over to a tree, sat her down, and started to tend to her wounds. I grimaced. I could never be a doctor, not just because of the fact that some hospitals scare me. Small cuts I can handle, but four-inch deep holes in someone's skin makes me want to hurl.
Julius was a nice kid, and I'm sure had a pretty strong stomach so he could look at blood and skin and muscle. These were all nice kids. Fred, Em, Danielle.
"Corie?" I was brought back to the Forbidden Forest by Em's voice. "You okay?"
I turned towards my friend and smiled grimly. "Yeah, I'm fine."
Em looked dubious, obviously not believing me. "Of course you are. Because the fact that this kid is seriously injured makes you completely normal."
I rolled my eyes but grinned. "No."
"Then what's bothering you?" she inquired.
"The girl. I hate seeing people hurt. Especially when I can't do anything to stop the pain."
"Corie, you can't help everyone you know."
"I know! But I always feel like I have to try. That the only way to make them better is up to me...."
"Corie," Em said, exasperated. "It's not all up to you."
"I know."
Em and I watched as Julius bandaged the girl's leg and said soothing, calm words to her. Danielle was also watching, gazing at Julius with an expression of gratefulness. We all knew Danielle and Julius were perfect for each other, even if they didn't.
As soon as all of the blood had been mostly cleaned off, I walked over and sat down by the little girl.
"What happened?" I asked her.
She studied me, wanting to know if I was good enough to learn her answer. "My brother was attacked by the centaurs. He was just acting in self-defense! But he accidentally killed the leader...." The girl fell silent. She indignantly raised her head and glared hard at me. "It was out of self-defense!"
"Okay, I get it," I told her. "But how did you get hurt?"
"Tripped."
I could have guessed that, I thought.
"But then one of them kicked me right where I had fallen making it deeper than it already was," she added.
"Why were you out here in the Forest anyway?"
"Why are you interrogating me?" she demanded.
I didn't have an answer to give her and I didn't feel like being smart with her. I didn't need to answer at all, because the herd of centaurs galloped back to where we were. They stopped in front of us.
"Give us this girl," the one in the middle said. The centaur's brilliant white hair contrasted from tan skin and bright blue eyes. "We do not spill unnecessary blood."
"No!" the girl wailed. "My brother was only acting in self-defense! He didn't mean to hurt him!"
The centaur was oblivious to her cries. "A male with her has killed our leader, the highest rank of our group. That is unacceptable."
I had to do something; I just knew I had to do something.
"Give her to us, we won't hurt you all."
"What about the girl," I asked shakily. Speaking up and refusing authority were two things that would kill me, as I do it very rarely. "Will she get hurt?"
"I cannot make any promises."
"You can't have her, then," Em said. She stood up, smack in the middle of the line of horse-men. A wave of relief swept over me; I wasn't alone, Em would help me, I wouldn't be the only one to speak to them. I joined her gladly.
"You can't take her," I told them, keeping my voice low, trying to be firm, but knowing that it probably wasn't working. Fred, Julius and Danielle came up behind us, making a circle around the little girl, but they kept me in the front. They were each remembering my fear, and the part of the letter Professor Hale sent us.
As hard as it may be, you can't always save someone before yourself. You won't always have the choice.
It was probably about the girl; this might be a set up. But it was time for me to face my fear.
"Fine. We didn't want bloodshed, but...." The centaur whistled summoning about 15 other centaurs. They all charged.
We all pulled out our wands, and started to duel. We each fought our own against the group of creatures, the circle breaking apart. I didn't realize exactly what was happening to us until it was too late. I was just shooting charms at the centaurs, trying not to hurt them, but at least teach them to leave us alone.
"Incarcerous!" I shouted, pointing at a centaur to my left; ropes shot out of the tip of my wand and wrapped themselves around its body. "Sorry," I mumbled.
A couple of centaurs burst through the gap in our circle, grabbing the child and hauling her off to the woods.
"No!" I yelled at their retreating backs. Before anyone could stop me, and before my adrenaline wore off and was replaced by sensibility I sprinted off after them. Now my spells were stronger and harsher than they first were.
"Diffindo!"
"Stupefy!"
"Rictusempra!"
They hit the targets dead on, but only the centaurs around me. The ones holding the girl were still ahead and pretty much unharmed.
My adrenaline was running low but the blood was pounding in my ears. A stitch started to form in my side; I'm a sprinter, not a long-distance runner. And for heaven's sake I even managed to trip over a root and find myself sprawled on the dirt of the forest floor.
A hoof kicked me in the side, sending sharp stabs of pain coursing through me. I gasped, muttering, "Crap."
"Get up," the hoof commanded. I couldn't. But I had to help the girl.
"Stupefy!" A red beam of light shot out from somewhere to my right and I recognized the voice. Em threw herself out of the bushes, glaring daggers at the centaurs.
"We have to go help the girl," I said, as loud and as strong as I could muster. The centaurs started to gallop off.
"No, you need to get back to the tent," Em insisted, looking at me with a worried expression.
"I'm fine." I tried to sit up, sucking in a tight breath when the pain hit me. This is why I don't like horses or cows, I thought drily. They have gosh-darned hooves.
"You can't even sit up."
"I'll be fi-" I started but she cut me off.
"For god sakes Corie! When are you going to get it? I'm not leaving you here!"
It felt really good to know there was someone out there that cared about me more then themselves.
"Get on," she said bending down. I took it she was offering a piggy back ride. I got on as a sharp pain shot through my side. I sucked in a breath but said nothing.
She straightened and took off at a full sprint dodging roots, spells, and centaurs. I've never seen her go this fast. I clung on for dear life praying she wouldn't drop me.
She didn't.
We got to the tent and she walked inside and carefully put me on the couch.
"Ok, I'm going to check for any broken bones, lift up your shirt a bit to I can check your abdomen," she said. I obeyed, the pain dominating any type of embarrassment I might have felt. I looked down. Where the centaur kicked me was purple and blue and very swollen. She applied little pressure to the wound making me gasp. It hurt so much!
"You have a cracked, possibly broken rib. For now just put ice on it and I'll help you when this is over." She smiled reassuringly at me and started to walk out.
"Em?" I asked. She turned around and nodded her head for me to continue.
"Thanks for not leaving me there. You truly are a Gryffindor."
"I can't leave my best friend in the middle of a battle with no help. Besides, you would have done the same thing for me."
"I'm not sure I would have, I'm a Ravenclaw for a reason," I said shrugging my shoulders.
She walked back and bent down so she was a few inches from my face.
"Yes. You would have. I know you would. Professor Hale was wrong about one thing, you always have the choice."
She stood up and walked out of the tent without another word. I knew she was right. I would have helped her if the tables were turned… I always have the choice to do the right thing.
Julius POV
We were surrounded by centaurs now and her leg was still bleeding really badly even though I bandaged her leg. It wouldn't stop and the bandage wasn't even helping. I took it of and she winced.
I took off my shirt and folded it twice. Then I wrapped it around her leg. It wouldn't last a long time but at least a half hour. I was shooting spells at the centaurs in the meantime trying to keep them away from this girl. A life for a life he had said a few moments ago. Yeah, like we were going to let that happen.
I saw Corie sprawled on the ground surrounded by centaurs. I got up to help her, but Em beat me there, she was speaking to her and Corie was looking defiant. Then she got on Em's back and she took off at a speed I had never seen her run. They disappeared among the trees.
The girl was falling in and out of consciousness. I wasn't sure what to do to get rid of all these centaurs, but I knew I had to save this girl from them. It was a gut feeling.
Then I thought of something.
I called for Fred.
I had a plan.
Fred POV
"Are you sure?" I asked at his crazy plan.
"Yes. We have to save this girl," Julius said with a look of determination in his eye.
"Fine. But Em has no part in it correct?"
"No, just us."
"What if it doesn't work?"
"Well I guess we have to take the risk," he said picking up the girl.
"Alright, let's do it," I said taking the girl from him.
I ran back to the clearing that was surrounded by centaurs making sure they didn't see me. I saw a tree with an opening in it and placed her there telling her that I would be right back. I saw Julius sprinting in our direction with the centaurs a few paces behind. Danielle was following behind them screaming 'Julius!' When she ran past my hiding spot, I slung her over my shoulder and ran as fast as I could after them. She was screaming all the while.
The group stopped when he tripped. I gasped and thought this was it.
"Stupify!" he shouted as two flew backward leaving him an opening. I ran ahead of him and climbed in a tree right next to where the plan falls into place.
After a few minutes I saw him run around the corner. Then he jumped off the cliff with the centaurs following behind. Danielle screamed and started to cry.
"Winguardiam Leviosa!" I called.
Then up came Julius with a smile.
The plan worked.
Julius put his life on the line to save the girl.
The centaurs were gone and the girl was safe.
As well as Em and Julius.
Danielle ran up to him and attacked him. She threw her arms around his neck and wouldn't let go. She did let go after a while and her look of relief turned to fury.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?!?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!!! IF YOU EVER DO THAT TO ME AGAIN JULIUS MCCARTHY, I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF!!!!" I had never seen her so angry. Julius smiled and kissed her. She gladly returned it.
"Did I miss something?"
Julius POV
We saved the girl.
After 'the plan' happened we went back, got the girl named Dominique, got the bleeding to stop, and returned her to Hogwarts safe and sound.
Corie ended up having a broken rib that might have been worse if Em hadn't saved her.
We told everyone about me and Danielle and they acted unsurprised. Apparently, everyone had seen this coming except us.
Corie had faced her fear and saved Dominique. If she hadn't been so persistent to save her, I wouldn't have thrown myself off a cliff.
The rest off the day was pretty uneventful. A lot of Quidditch was played, and so on.
Then it was dinner time and Em made meatloaf. We all sat down including Corie who was having a bit of a hard time. Then Fred asked an interesting question.
"Do you think tomorrow's challenge will be harder then today?"
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there," I said not wanting to think about anything except right now.
So what did you think???
I thought it was the best chapter yet… for those of you that didn't put the pieces together…
Joel was the reason that Julius cared so much about Professor Orcaros's past and understood what she was feeling.
I know many of you just had an epiphany… ha ha I know you got that one Duble D
So anyways, thanks to DrooblesandDrachma for writing the Corie's POV in this chapter… but I edited it myself this time.
Okay so on my profile I posted pictures of Danielle, Julius, and Em… Em is me so just look at my profile picture
Any ideas for other chapters? Let me know.
Also let me know what you think of this chapter!!!
