New Layout and Name!!

There won't be any posts for today...just wanted to mention the new layout. ^.^ I think I'm getting better. Well I used PSP 7 and notepad. Thanks to Misai for some tips on effects and stuff. The picture is from Boyis like all of 'em these days. XDD The font's from Font face. I used the wind effect and some circles...and a the pattern removal thing. Only took me a couple of hours...I'm so proud. ^.^ I tried so many things.

But yeah...this ficblog needed change BAD!!! It had the same layout since the beginning like in May. >.< And the name was a little weird so I changed it to "No Leaf Clover". ^_^ It's the name of a Metallica song that I love. <3

Chapter 5 (continued)

This isn't much even though it's been like two months. XDD I've been a lazy butt. o_o;; I'll start writing soon since my laziness usually disappears along with summer and my desire to write grows just as my homework does. XDDD

Story::

“--so you were the one watching me for the past two weeks?!” I rudely interrupted.

Her face turned grave and she shook her head. “No, young maiden, I was not the one who appeared in your room continually after Rebecca Suzuhara left for work each morning. Unfortunately it was the same creature that you spotted in your balcony window on the night of the beginning of the storm who watched you every morning and all day for the past week.--”

“--but it was your voice that I heard every morning and all day?”

“That is true and I must ask if you do not interrupt me from now on being how all your questions will be answered.” I silenced myself and she nodded in gratitude and continued momentarily. “The reason you heard my voice when you noticed the creature’s presence was because my voice created a barrier to protect you from the creature’s cruel intentions. It kept you sane and from being killed. Since I myself was not there to provide full protection you had fallen victim of one its freezing spells. But now I have removed it and I advise you to hear me out, young maiden.” Her body began to glow an aquamarine signaling that she was about to leave in a matter of minutes. “Now is the time for you to leave this place and return to school. Your heart has not healed, but if you stay bedridden any longer, I fear that you will become a victim of your fate that I have foreseen.” She began to fade into the light and her voice echoed ten times more than before. “By moving about, only then can you avoid the path of fate that has become open for you to walk upon.” And at that she disappeared completely into the growing aquamarine light. The light was so blinding that it burned my eyes causing me to close them.

Chapter 5 (continued)

Along with the unknown presence that watched over me daily came a voice in my head. A soft, romantic voice that echoed in the corners of my suffering mind and the shatters of my heart filled me with warm words. The words came in a liquid form and flowed through my veins with my cold blood. They attempted to warm my soul, but the words continued to fail at lifting my spirits. Nothing could lift my spirits and I wanted it that way. My wish was to stay in this particular state until the end of my life, until I withered and died. Nothing would satisfy my undying want for everything to be fixed, for everything to be back to normal, for Jared to hold me in his arms and tell me that he loved me, and for Danny to continue saying the words that we would be best friends forever. Despite my endless pleading, nothing was going to change. My life had no meaning any more, which was how I saw it. I believed that no one would care if I remained locked in my room waiting for death to come take me to another world.

After the seventh day, my mother gave up. Her insistent pleading would not break me and she realized that. She decided to plead one more time and when I continued to be silent, she saw it as my way of asking for attention. She covered her eyes with anger towards me and from that day on she ignored me completely. Each morning she would wash up, make breakfast for herself, and then leave without saying a word. It was as if I did not exist in her life anymore. Her anger and frustration caused by my depression forced her to become strict towards me. Mrs. Mei begged for my mother to calm down and to act more mature for my sake. Instead, my mother screamed at the top of her lungs saying that I was the one being immature. Our neighbor asked for my mother to act reasonable and informed her that if she continued to ignore me that I may become even more emotionally wounded than I already was, but I did not care at all. In fact, I continued to lie in bed in the same exact position that I was in several days ago. It was clear that I severed myself from all human emotions and contact. Nothing fazed me, not even the fact that my own mother did not care about me anymore.

The warm voice was ever more persistent now that my mother had left me alone. The presence watched over me for the entire day that my mother left for work and would not disappear until my mother came back home. Another week passed by and by then I wanted to see my onlooker, but it was too late. The muscles in my arms and legs had become frozen since I had not moved or used them for a long period of time. The only things that I could do now were blinking, breathing, and allowing the blood to circulate through my body. Oddly enough, my body had not started to eat itself despite the fact that I had not drank or eaten anything for two weeks. Any normal human being would have died by now of either no food or water or by not enough sleep, but then again, was I a normal human being?

I could not help but think that something was magically keeping my body from deteriorating. Of course, maybe it was just that my body had some sort of defense system to keep me alive just a while longer. After all, I could lift and move things with my mind alone, though it did not happen unless I was in any immediate danger. Maybe that was it, because of the danger that I put myself in, my mind was creating a back up system despite my determination to kill myself. Of course, if I really wanted to die, why did I not just commit suicide then and there while I could still move my arms and legs?

“Because your mind, body, and spirit know that you still have a purpose, despite what you keep telling yourself.” This voice echoed through my silent room and shook me from my state of deep thought. The owner of the voice spoke in a serene tone and seemed to know my every thought since the day I succumbed to my overwhelming depression. “Now get up,” ordered the voice.

My lips did not move, not because I did not want to answer but because they were sealed shut and the muscles in my jaw were frozen as well. Although I wanted to ignore this presence, there was an urge to react that resided deep inside my very soul. It was the same voice that would resonate in my mind and attempt at lifting my spirits. Why was it that this time I wanted to react and answer? Was it because this time it was not just a voice in my head, but because the origin of the voice came from the presence itself, which had taken a solid form within my room? Either way, I could not move a muscle even if I wished for it.

“You should be able to move, young maiden. I have removed the spell in which your muscles were bound in.” The voice paused and I heard its owner take in a pausing breath before continuing to speak. “I will answer your questions momentarily, now move!”

I found myself following the request. My tongue came alive within my mouth, ripped open my parched lips, and moistened them. My left arm reached for the sheets that covered my body and threw them off towards the other side of my bed, revealing my body to the brisk storm air that my room harbored in for the last couple of weeks. My legs extended from their curled form and fell along the side of my bed. My right arm pushed upon my mattress to lift the rest of my body up. With every movement, my limbs made snapping sounds as if I were popping all of the bubbles in the plastic bubble wrap found in packages containing fragile and valuable items. My muscles were stiff but worked all the same. Before actually turning around to look at the visitor in my room, I jumped up and down repeatedly and did several stretches. By my actions, one would have the impression that something else had been forcing me to stay in my bed and that I had just been allowed to get up and move freely around my room. After several minutes, I turned around and laid my eyes upon the only other ‘living being’ in my room.

The sight shook me from my state and I sat back down upon my bed. My head spun and I felt as if I had just shot up from my bed and became lightheaded, but that definitely was not the case. My big brown eyes found themselves staring into slender, sapphire eyes and the owner of those eyes returned my shocked stare with an amusing gaze. Questions flooded into my mind, and the question that I wanted to ask the most was quickly answered before I decided to even ask it.

“No, you are not dreaming, Karen. It is I, Circe of Laorien standing before you.” A smile crossed her face and her eyes raised in delight at my reaction.

“Um--what are you doing here, m-may I a-ask?” I asked with a bit of difficulty. I received no answer as she walked around my room with her scepter in hand. With a look of curiosity, she examined my trinkets and the various items that my roomed contained.

She delicately held my teddy bear in her left hand and looked down upon its beady black eyes. “My dear, must this enchantress have reason to come and visit you?” Circe placed my teddy bear back in its exact spot and walked over towards my vanity. Soon after, I realized that my room was not in the state that I had left it. My stuffed animals were back where they sitting before I threw them around my room and my bed had been neatly pushed back against my wall. My vanity had been covered in my jewelry boxes and make-up once more and my room had a sparkling and clean odor affect. “Oh my, I sound like your grandmother or something. Then again, how can I, when you don’t even have one--” She gasped as she realized what she had just casually said.

I frowned at her, “What do you mean that I do not have a grandmother?! My grandmother just visited last month!” I picked up a picture of my grandmother that was sitting upon my nightstand and showed it to the young woman togged up in lengthy, cyan robes, nails the color of platinum blue, several beady and silver jewelry, and sporting a silver midnight blue eye shadow lined with black eyeliner. “If I do not have a grandmother, then who is this?!”

Circe squinted at the framed photograph and tilted her lofty scepter towards it. Immediately afterwards, the frame became alive and floated over towards the enchantress and hovered before her evenly tanned face. “Hmm--this woman is the mother of Rebecca Suzuhara.”

“Yeah! My grandmother!” I retorted.

She smirked and looked over at my nightstand. The frame then floated over the bed and landed neatly on my nightstand. “No, young maiden, you have no grandmother, mother, or any relatives of any kind. Believe me when I say this or the path laid out for in the future will become rather difficult.” She waltzed around my room examining everything as if she were a child given a new toy for Christmas. “Oh, by the way, I cleaned your habitual living cubical this morning after that ignorant woman left. This place was filthy.”

I assumed that a “habitual living cubical” was my bedroom. “When did you clean it?” I asked in a disbelieving tone with a raised brow.

“My dear poor girl, you have much to learn. It took only a second, or maybe even two, to fix everything back to the way it was. And I must say, I’m rather fond of those faux fur miniature replicas of animals that you have collected over the past few years. They are rather adorable.” She gave a sweet smile and I nervously smiled back. Then she straightened up and cleared her throat. “Oh dear me--I went off track. The main reason why I have decided to show myself to you was to tell you that now is the time for you to return to school. You must not stay here for I cannot watch over you for a second longer--”

Chapter 5

I'll continue my could be Harry Potter fic some time later...but for now...I actually started working on Chapter 5 of Worlds of Destiny again. XDD Here's the first like 5 paragraphs. ^^

Note:: You have to have read the prologue and the first 4 chapters in order for this to make sense or prevent spoilers of any kind. Although I don't think there are any. XD

A Contemplative Defeat

The storm lasted all night, along with my feuding emotions within my heart. I had not slept a wink and was not planning to sleep any time soon because for now, the state that I was in seemed to be the perfect place to be. It was not a dreamland nor did I have to face the tragedies of reality. I was in between both planes. I was lying in my bed, under the covers tucked safely from the dangers of the night and of the day. During the entire night, I drifted off into deep thought though my eyes continued their everlasting gaze upon my bedroom door. My face was soaked and my eyes were burning and well with my nose. Even though I stayed aloft in my state of shock and depression, I cried endlessly through the entire night.

The thunder roared and the heavy rain forced itself upon my glass, balcony, double doors. I couldn’t help but link the ongoing typhoon with the condition of my body. The rain would continue to fall as long as the tears would stream down my cheeks. The achy pounding of my heart, or the remains of my heart, were in tune with the rhythm of the thunder that would howl through the night and into the incoming morning. My eyes remained cloudy as the deep blue sky and my breath cold as the wind.

Three knocks pounded through my wooden door and my mother walked into my room. Her face held a weary look and her movements showed the sign that she too had stayed awake the whole entire night, but for different reasons alone. The storm had merely prevented her from a quiet night’s slumber where as I made the decision to not sleep. My mother placed my newly washed clothes upon the foot of my bed and then walked over to where my head rested on my pillow. She caressed my unkempt hair that covered my face and pampered the disheveled blankets of my twin bed.

Even though her face looked weary and she breathed in an uneven rhythm, energy full of life and joyfulness streamed out of her and brought up the very mood that my room was saturated in. There was one thing that she could not do though; my mother could not lift up my spirits from the bottomless pit that I had fallen in. Her voice echoed with angelic beauty though not the tiniest portion of it affected me. “Sweetie, you know school starts in an hour. You should get dressed and I’ll drive you there before I head off to work myself.” She paused for an answer, which she did not receive. “I know that you went through hell yesterday, but you just can’t harbor yourself in this room of yours. You’ll only become more distressed.” She waited once more, but I made no sign that I even acknowledged her presence. Disappointed, she gathered the rest of my laundry and left my room; the happiness that she had brought in exited with her.

A couple of hours later, my mother left for work, but not without giving Mrs. Mei custody of the apartment. I was left alone despite her occupancy in our living room, but I couldn’t help but feel an unknown presence watching me in my very room. Having no energy or intent to search for the origin of my visitor, I allowed the sensation of being scrutinized to continue. Whatever it was, they left momentarily afterwards. This continued for several days despite my mother’s constant pleading. I had no intention of ever returning to school or even getting out of bed.

Let's get creative...(continued)

NOTE:: I have decided on her name... ::drumroll:: ...it'll be... Sephora (she doesn't have a last name yet tho ^^;) ::thinks... Sephora... Sephora... what?!:: ARGH!! I hate names! ^^; Also I'm going to change the tense to past since I write better in that tense.

Believing that her daughter really burned the letter, she watched it burn in the flames. After there were only ashes left, she stood up and walked over to the kitchen to continue what she was doing before the mysterious letter had arrived by owl. She patted her daughter on the end as she left the warm, cozy, living room. Sephora returned a gentle smile and watched her mother disappear into the kitchen before going upstairs to properly hide the letter.

Hours later, her mother's voice echoed throughout the rather large house beckoning for Sephora to come down for dinner. Sephora slowly walked downstairs, as she always did, and poked her head into the kitchen. Her mother was already at the table eating the meal she had cooked for the two of them. The ten-year-old then walked over to her chair and sat down before her placemat. Her mother had already put food on her plate, as she always had. Upon her plate lay a golden, crisp chicken breast decorated with a leaf of onion in the corner. There were several steamed string beans lying beside the breast, still wet and hot from the steamer(?) [I don't know where you steam vegetables ^^;]. The rest of the plate was covered in steaming hot white rice, fresh from the rice cooker [at least I know where to cook rice XD]. Sephora immediately dug into her preset meal. [<---this is actually what I eat for dinner sometimes XDDD]

While Sephora ate, her mother watched her mute daughter with caring eyes. Then she spoke in a tone completely different from her panicky voice a few hours ago. "Sephora, honey, your cousins will be coming to visit tomorrow. Are you willing to actually meet them this year?"

Her daughter lifted her head from her plate and placed down her fork. She looked into her mother's glowing face and then turned her head to look out of the window beside her. She saw past the on going fields outside of her house and envisioned a vast forest of giant trees and creatures of the unknown. Then her focus shifted to a little house far away from the vast forest in the middle of a packed little city. She saw images of her cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparents. Then as quickly as the images appeared in her mind, they were wiped clean and she saw once more the fields that surrounded their lovely home. Sephora turned again towards her mother and shook her head slowly. Then returned to her dinner.

Her mother turned disappointed eyes down at her own plate, which was now empty except for a couple of chicken bones. "You know, Sephora? Why don't you ever want to meet them? They come every year to wish you a happy birthday, but you remain locked up in that room of yours. You won't even let me clean your room for heavens sake! You almost eleven-years-old, honey. You'll have to stop avoiding them one of these days." Sephora continued to eat, showing no sign of any of those frustrating words reaching her ears. Her mother stood up and went to rinse her plate in the sink and as soon as Sephora finished, she rinsed her's as well.

Sephora returned to her room immediately afterwards and locked the door behind her. She sat upon her bed and stared out of her open window trying to see the vast forest she had seen during dinner, but nothing came to her. So instead, she watched the sun set beyond the horizon and the last light of day disappear from existence. Just as the sun had set, a mysterious wind entered her room. Her skin took up a strange dark tone, and a peculiar blood red light surrounded her delicate body. In mere seconds, the light disappeared and the wind died down. Kneeling where Sephora was upon her bed was a dark skin toned, slightly more rounded ten-year-old girl. Besides a new figure and skin tones, this girl had bright yellow eyes and long, flowing violet velvet hair. Her fingers were still long and slender, but were not as bony and rough looking. It seemed as thought Sephora was no longer there, but instead replaced with a girl of higher caliber (don't take that the wrong way XD). But when the girl closed the window and turned around to stand, she possessed the same rounded, soothing face as Sephora had. It was clear. This girl was Sephora.

Oops!...

Almost forgot to mention that I posted up a new chapter for Sailor Earth: Earth's Original Senshi. XD The new chapter's called Chest Pains and Mind Games. It's really chapter 14, but since I had an epilogue for chapter 9, it's marked as chapter 15. XDD Oh well...It's about how Astra reajusts after Jade and Katie become a couple. Of course, she's jealous to death, but she doesn't want to die a painful death by becoming a traitor as well. I show a pretty brutal side to Astra in the middle of the chapter, but then also a soft side (just a little bit). Another vision...what does it mean?

Let's get creative...^^

Okay...my brain is on the fritz so I'm gonna wear it down for bit. ^^

Her name is [name goes here]. She's almost eleven years old and lives in her mother's home. Long, silky, golden, curly locks rest upon her narrow, bony shoulders. Her fragile, slender hands caress her calico cat's fur. Stunning, amethyst irises show themselves beneath her stray strands of hair. Her ruby red lips open as she mouths words and waves her frail arms in the air. Her mother walks out of the kitchen which came a sweet odor of vanilla. The almost preteen looks through the window and towards the clear blue sky. Her mother sticks her head out of the window, but sees nothing.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a screech owl rises from the horizon. The brown dot soars through the still, fresh morning air at top speed and lands upon the window sill with an envelope tied to its right scaly leg. [name]'s mother removes the burden and the screech owl leaves as quickly as it had arrived.

The lanky thirty-year-old sticks her head out the window once more and then closes it shut. Her daughter stands up and watches her mother curiously. Her mother examines the envelope and turns it over to find a maroon crest of some kind. Her face turns ghost white and she drops the envelope on the floor. Slowly creeping towards the closest chair, her breathing increases and her eyes become unsteady.

Confused by her mother's reaction, [name] reaches for the discarded envelope and looks at the crest. The crest contained a lion, a snake, and [other animals ^^;]. She moves her hand to rip open the envelope, but her mother screams and tells her to throw it into the fire. Her mother curls herself into a ball while she sits upon her favorite big comfy chair, rocking back and forth in fear. Curious, [name] folds it up and places it in her pant pocket to examen later in her room. As a scape goat, she grabs one of the advertisements from the post and tosses it into the brick fireplace.

...and END!! Well...for now. I need to do more research and actually give the girl a name so I won't call her "her" anymore. XDDDD

Trying to get around the writer's block...

ARGH!! Why can't I get rid of this f%$&ing writer's block. Sure I got ideas, but once I begin to build on them...it collapses. o_O;

I have one idea for a Harry Potter fanfic. It won't change the story line of Harry Potter like other fics but more of weave through it. Like a story based on what one might think of Harry as another peer. I don't know, it's still shakey and a weak attempt, but if I continue to brainstorm I may have another great fic coming along. Hopefully...

Then there's "Worlds of Destiny" where I can't decide how to continue after chapter 4. Should I have her skip school, continue miserably, etc...(i don't want to spoil future ideas). What's with this creativity slump of mine...seriously. T_T I've lost my will to write. ::cries::

Brainstorm...

Hopefully this will be part of chapter 5 for Worlds of Destiny. ^^;

For the whole stormy night, all I wanted was to go to sleep and fade into my dream world, but like always, my wish was not granted. I received not a wink of sleep and was to go to school the next morning.

”Karen, you know that you shouldn’t go to school in your condition. No sleep and completely miserable. Even I won’t allow it!” implied my mother in a worried tone.

I shook my head and gradually made my way out the door. I could barely see down the hall because of the bright hallway lights and my swollen eyes. Was my mother right? Should I just stay home and sit in a corner of my room hating Jared and Danny? They betrayed me as if I was a little puppy and they had bought a cat to replace me. My heart ached as I took each step towards the elevator. My body felt limp and heavy. I hadn’t even noticed that a dark figure was waiting by the elevator, until it was too late. Thinking that the figure was Robby, I threw my bag at “him” and forced a smile on my face. I received no reply from the figure and opened my eyes wider to focus.

Maybe I was hallucinating and delusional. That was the only possible explanation for what I saw. It had to be. Of course I wouldn’t blame him if it was really him. My life had completely gone disarray. I honestly saw no reason why I should fear him because I believed there was nothing left to hold me back. Something fell down my cheek and it stung the very skin on my face. My vision fogged up and my lips trembled.

What I saw triggered my emotions and once again, I broke down. The figure wrapped in a dark cloak and holding a staff twice as tall as its height with a curved blade at the zenith lunged at me. It was not as if it leaped, but more of a glide. The figure’s bony hand reached out and my feet gave way beneath me. Tears still streamed down my face and Death was looking me in the face. He raised his scythe and I could see his gleaming yellow eyes beam down upon my fragile body. There was a gust of wind that caused his hood to fall and like a shadow, darkness flooded my eyes.

The sound of water echoed through my head and the sensation of icy marble filled my cheekbones. Strident thumps of hard shoes came from all directions and grew louder with each step taken. There was a third clatter that followed the steps, as if whatever was approaching had more than two limbs to walk with.

First Big Entry[!]

It's been so long since I've written anything. Let's see...maybe I should start a new story. XD Hmm....Okay! Here goes.

Type:: Fan Fiction

Based On:: Um...Ceres: Celestial Legend

Characters:: Yuhi Aogiri, Toya, Ceres, Aya Mikage, Aki Mikage, Suzumi Aogiri, Kazuma Aogiri, Tomonori Aogiri, etc...

Genre:: Romance

Setting:: In the middle of Volume 2 of the graphic novel right after Yuhi told Aya about his brother, Kazuma.

Basic Idea:: As Aya sleeps, Yuhi begins to realize the feelings for Aya. Then over the next few days, he realizes his infatuation with Aya even more when he discovers his jealousy when Toya and others interact with Aya.

Now...I'll start::
"I'm the one who asked to live here. So I can't complain." I replied to Aya's inferred outburst about Suzumi. "This house is a branch of the main house, the Aogiri school of Japanese dance. My brother opened it." I heard Aya shift under her breath. "Suzumi came from a family who runs a school in the Kansai region. Her family had always been close to mine. She married into the Aogiri family. But...my brother was in a car accident soon after they were married. It was even in the newspaper." It was silent. I didn't know if I should have changed the subject or just continued to talk about the suject.

Later that night, I heard deep breathing coming beyond the sliding door, which separated us. I repeated Aya's name over and over again in a soft voice, but received no reply. How rude! I thought. Falling asleep while I was talking about a very private and deep subject! And she says that I'm insensitive!! Hmph!

I lay on the floor, thinking about everything that I just said and revealed to Aya. For several hours, I stared at the ceiling and counted the tiles above me, but I just could not fall asleep. So I slowly sat up off of the floor and crawled over to the thin sliding door that divided Aya's room and mine. I quietly shoved it to the side and peeked in between the opening. There she was, sleeping upon a matress wrapped in thick blankets. From this angle, I forgot about how annoying this ditz really was and in seconds, found myself hovering above her head.

What am I doing? I was now breathing rapidly. My nose was only an inch away from her cheek. If she woke up right now, I'd be in a coma for six months, but my body refused to back away. I continued to look down upon Aya's angelic face.

So that's it so far. I'm not going to add any other characters or anything. For once, this fanfic may not be as long as all of my other stories. Ya never know. Could be a miracle happening any day...
