Writing a Letter, :(

[Leah]

Topher watched as Carrott spoke again to her toad. He tried not to object, he had a feeling Alf's croaks were not as friendly as she assumed they were. Her naivety and childish demeanor was cute, and fascinated Topher. He felt as though he could watch her all day and it would be quite an entertaining day indeed. Topher looked at Alf and laughed silently, the toad was giving him the look of death.

As Topher turned back to look at Carrott, he suddenly felt something come over him. His heart started pitter-pattering the way it does when you meet someone you really fancy. The way the wind blew her hair, the way she didn't care how messy it got was, breathtaking. His jaw had dropped down without him realising and his eyes had looked her over. Though the blue in his eyes had turned slightly yellowish, much like the stone in the bracelet.

"You know," Topher spoke in a breathy voice, stepping closer to Carrott, "You're really beautiful. I don't know why I didn't notice before."

((haha cheese-fest. that bracelet is fun =p))

((xD Woopwoop, GO BRACELET!))

Cleo was just about to say "Pardon?" When she realised what he had said. "Am I?" She said, her voice full of suprise and question. No one had ever really called her beautiful before, sure, she had gotten a small amount of male attention in her time at hogwarts...but no one had ever said she was beautiful.

It made her feel weird to hear someone say that to her.

"Are you sure you don't just need to wash you're eyes out?" There was a croak from across the room. "Alf says that he thinks you do." She smiled at him, in a friendly way and for a moment she thought she saw an amber glint in his eyes.

She blinked and looked again before standing and moving closer to him. "What color are your eyes?" She asked peering at his blueish irises, before adding "Did you know, if a cat has completely blue eyes, it means that it might be deaf?"

((Omg I love this xD She has absolutely NO idea xD))

[Leah]

Topher was no longer controlling her thoughts, his body or what he was saying. It was as if he had turned into someone who's life revolved around falling for this strange, orange haired girl. Topher took another step towards her, his smile turning rather flirtatious and suggestive.

"You're so quirky," he exclaimed in a cutesy voice, he had never used that word before in his life.

"My eyes are blue," Topher continued, ignoring her comment on deaf cats, "But you're eyes are so much more interesting than mine, baby."

Topher had never called anyone 'baby' before either. He hated pet names. Of course Carrott couldn't know this, seeing as she had only just properly gotten to know him, and it's not like the subject of whether they enjoyed calling boyfriends or girlfriends by pet names had popped up. Topher raised his eyebrows suggestively at Carrott and winked at her. Another thing Topher would never do.

[Rabbit_Cake]

"I don't think quirky is the right word." She said glancing over at Alf with a thoughtful look on her face. "I think weird, strange or odd." She nodded and then added "But thats okay, I don't mind being odd." It was only when her eyes returned to his that she noticed something was different.

He was a lot closer, and upon realising this, Cleo to a step back, the smile however stayed on her face as she said "Nah, not really, my eyes are just boring old brown, yours are icy." She steped back again, but this time her legs hit the wall and her back didn't. She was at the window.

She sidestepped a walked straight in a bird cage, that was luckily empty, and realised she couldn't move any further.

"Are you okay?" She asked with a worried flicker casting over her smile. He seemed different to how he was only a moment ago, although she didn't really know him all that well so she didn't have much to judge by.

There was another croak from across the room.

[Leah]

Topher smiled lightly as she backed into the wall and bird cage. Whatever had come over him was loving the fact that she was now trapped. His heels clicked on the stone, poop ridden, floor as he slowly approached her. His eyes scanned her up and down. His eyes then fell to the bracelet and he smiled.

"It looks good on you, you should keep it," he said as the gap between the two began to close further.

Soon there was literally no space between them. Topher had backed the two into a corner where there was no escape. He placed one hand on her hips and smirked down at her. He was much taller than her thanks to the heels, though certainly without he still would be.

"I'm great," he said with a smile.

He then swiftly lowered his head, looking as though he was about to kiss her. Instead his lips found the side of her head. He began speaking into her ear, in a breathy whisper, his lips brushing against her subtly.

"I like strange," he had whispered.

((haha this is so unlike Tophy))

[Rabbit_Cake]

"Do you?" She asked, sounding a little confused, "not many people do." She pushed the back of her head into the wire of the cage behind her, trying to get away from him, but it was no use. Her hands stifly by her sides she tried to come up with an explaination of why someone would act this way towards her.

A croak was once again heard "Alf thinks that maybe you need to go take a lie down, you seem a little tired." Her voice was a little highpitch because she was panicing. No one had even tried to get this close to her, and she found that she was feeling very uncomfortable, she wanted to push him away but, being her, she didn't want to seem rude.

"I thought you said that I should take it to lost and found? Alf is going to make sure I go there...remember?"

Her hands twitched as she resisted the urge to push him away.

Although somewhere in the back of her head, a small voice was saying "Maybe you'll enjoy the attention he's giving you, no one ever likes you." But another voice counteracted that voice and said that "I don't care that no one likes me, I like myself and Alf likes me."

The battle continued.

((Poor Cleo D= The Bracelets playing with her head D=))

[Leah]

"I can't imagine why not," continued Topher, his face was still so close to her's, and he was breathing softly into her neck. "I like strange, it's new, refreshing."

"I don't need to lie down," answered Topher lowering his head, now touching her forehead with his. His strange eyes were staring down into hers. Topher no longer had control of his emotions, the spell the bracelet had him under was stronger than any love potion. "But come to think of it you are making me a little dizzy," he winked.

The hand he had on Carrott's waist slowly moved lower, until the edge of her shirt. Slowly he slipped his thumb underneath, hoping to be subtle, as his skin touched her's.

[Rabbit_Cake]

Cleo gasped "S-stop it." She said in the most polite way she could, but the bracelet was still messing with her head telling her she should just let him carry on. But she was trying to fight it. "Please, stop it." She said, but it was obvious that her resolve was trickling away like sand in someone's hand.

Her mind cast to Alf, maybe he could help her? "Do be serious." The voice in her head said "The stupid thing's a toad, the most it will do for you is give you warts." She frowned as the other voice fought back "Alf is the best friend I've ever had."

"HA, maybe you should try harder to make friends then, what about Tofu? He wants to be you're friend."

Cleo, opened her eyes, which had been closed the entire time, and found herself staring straight into blue eyes, which still had the tint of amber. She still wanted to push him away, and she was no longer worried about being rude.

It was the bracelet that was stopping her from freeing herself.

[Leah]

Topher didn't care about her polite pleas for help, and moved her shirt up further with his hand, revealing part of her stomach. He was no longer bothering with talking her over, he was going in for the kill. He lowered his lips and ran them across the skin of her neck.

"Come on," he whispered, though his tone was not soothing, it was borderline viscious, "Relax," he hisssed.

With his spare hand, he roughly grabbed her wrisit. He ran his thumb along the bracelet. His eyes moved towards it, as if he wasn't attracted to her, but the bracelet.

[Rabbit_Cake]

Cleo's breath quickened and her eyes closed, and it wasn't until he grabbed her wrist so harshly that her eyes snapped open and she used her free hand to shove him away as hard as she could. Tearing her other hand away from him she took advantage of the gained time by quickly running over to the table where Alf was.

She turned, an it was at this point that she noticed the bracelet was no longer on her wrist, but on the floor, next to her. She looked over at Tofu and then bent down carefully, still wary of him.

Picking the bracelet up, she saw that the catch had been bent, it was easily fixable, but for now, she placed the bracelet in her pocket and then turned to pick up Alf. As she did so, she looked over her should, at Tofu, not wanting him to corner her again.

Alf croaked "Alf wants to know what the HELL you're trying to do." Cleo rarely ever got angry, but this time, it was more fear than rage.

"He says to not come near me." How the toad got all of that expressed in a single croak was impossible to tell, but apparently he did. It was only now that Cleo noticed that her face was wet from crying. She pushed her orange hair out of her face before shuffling a little bit towards the door, as though any sudden movement might start him off again.

[Leah]

Topher wasn't even offended when she pulled away, he just turned around, and began clicking his way towards her again. But he suddenly began to feel lightheaded and he stopped walking. It seemed the fact that Carrott was no longer wearing the bracelet, the effects were wearing off. Soon Topher began coming back to his old self, not even aware of what had just happened. As if that had happened during a blink.

"So I should get going, but Alf, you make sure she puts that bracelet in the lost and found," Topher said, sounding slightly foolish that he was placing his trust in a toad.

"See ya Carrott," he smiled, saluting to her as he noisily made his way out of the owlery, his heels clacking on the stone.

[Rabbit_Cake]

Cleo gave him a confused look as he left. What on earth?

Once again clutching the toad in her hands she said "I don't know Alf, Maybe it was the Nargles...you know what "The Quibbler" says about them, they can get in your ears and mess with your head."

Still pondering recent events, Cleo exited the room, still rather shook up at recieving an unusal amount of attention for someone like her. And as she walked through the corridors she was relieved to see that almost everyone she saw gave her either a strange look, or tried to look as though they were not staring at her hair or her toad.

"I think maybe that it was ME who was tired, Alf," she said placing him once again in her pocket. "What do you think?" The toad gave a muffled croak from underneath the fabric of her jacket.

"I thought you might." She said with a small smile...at least Alf was still happy.
