I'm back! The Grotto was great, oh and for those who are reading this and was performing at the chapel on Wednesday, great job! Especially Floyd Light Middle School! Anyway,
Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter or the songs in this story. I only own parts of the plotline, the woods, and a small handful of OCs.
Onwards!
Chapter 3
June 17th, 1991
Several hours later after Terra's "accident," the devil herself showed up, wearing a pink tank top that showed her pink bra straps, a pink miniskirt that nearly showed her underwear, and pink sandals. I nearly gagged at her scantily dressed outfit. I asked if I could go to the nearby community center while Aunt Petunia was vacuuming the rug, so she gave me permission to go. On the way out, I grabbed my guitar, the only gift that the Dursleys ever gave me, a notebook, and a pencil. I snuck out the back door. I left just in time to see Terra ring the doorbell in her outfit. I waited until she went in and ran down the driveway and into the intersection. Instead of turning left at the intersection towards the community center, I turned right and went straight. Eventually, I reached the woods. I looked around to see if anybody was near, and walked forward.
Immediately, I was surrounded by the lush green and quietness of the woods. After a long walk, I reached to the middle of the woods. Here I sat down, flipped through the pages, and opened the notebook in front of me. The song was labeled Fly and the page was filled with guitar chords and the lyrics. I played the guitar and softly sang the song I've composed.
In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of your yesterday.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
All your worries, leave them somewhere else,
Find a dream you can follow,
Reach for something, when there's nothing left,
And the world's feeling hollow.
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing?
And take control,
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
And when you're down and feel alone,
Just want to run away,
Trust yourself and don't give up,
You know you better than anyone else,
In a moment, everything can change,
Feel the wind on your shoulder,
For a minute, all the world can wait,
Let go of yesterday,
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine,
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try,
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life,
And start to try, cause it's your time,
Time to fly.
In a moment, everything can change.
I strummed the last chord. For a minute, I let the silence of the woods envelope me before I turned to another page. This time, the song was labeled as Place in this World. Again, I sang:
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's ok
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh but life goes on
I'm just a girl, trying to find a place in
This world.
I heard a crashing sound. Immediately, I started to pack up. But before I could leave, I heard someone say, "Hey, I know you're here. Come out, I won't hurt you. I just want to know who you are."
That didn't help calm my nerves. Luckily, the guy was on the opposite side of the tree and going the path I was going to take. I ran, and it was a good thing that I run pretty quietly, especially since the path was clear. By the time I was out of the woods, the sun was starting to set. Dinnertime. Hopefully, Terra was already gone.
So, whaddaya think? Oh, and I'm also doing and open character poll, so you can submit a character through the reviews page. I will put your character in the story on way or another. So review and send me your character, if you please. Just tell me in your reviews the age, gender, physical attributes, and personality your character will be and I'll add it to my story. Thanks!
