Round Robin!!!!

Round Robin!!!!
Round Robin!!!!
Ok, this is just something that I wrote in Social Studies today after the Geography final...it hasn't been edited or anything, but I wanted to see what you guys did with it. Here's the beginning:
Lilithe was the perfect villian, raise on a steady diet of pain and hatred. At age three, her parents had split up, leaving her to suffer in the never ending battle of possesion between the two. Finally, at a young age of 13, they compromised, and sent her to a boarding school in England. The long hours spent sitting in an itchy plaid skirt among pale-faced nobodies that she would never know the name of feasted on her soul. She grew pale and weak, hating herself and everyone around her, a fading girl that was losing her mental stability fast. Lilithe was the perfect villian, someone who had felt enough pain in her life that she wouldn't feel anything anymore. She was the ideal character to create a tormented deranged girl out of. But what if I told you she was the hero?
************************************
Blaire was a picture of perfection, hidden behind glossy blond ringlets and endearing blue eyes. She was a normal girl, with a happy home, never being able to dream of the place that the pale and dying Lilithe now dwelled. She couldn't imagine the hurt and pain that she had endured, could not fathom being pulled that close to the brink of insanity. Blaire couldn't imagine hurt or pain, because the only thing she had ever felt was greed. So our perfect little "heroine" with her glossy ringlets and plastic smile, staggerd dangerously close to the edge of the abyss that could reveal what she was inside: a villian...

You're turn! Sorry that it's not very good, I just wrote that much in about five minutes after the Geo final. Tell me what you think and then continue it! *working title is The Essence of Dreams* don't know where that came from, it just popped into my head...
Anyway, thoughts? continuations?

Patricia hadn't thought her life could get any worse. She had been wrong. She had always hated boarding school, and wished at least for a friend or 2, but she still hadn't wanted the school to burn down! Everything she owned had been destroyed! Then, when Lilithe started pretending they had been best friends, Patricia had played along because she thought Lilithe's reason was because she wanted to be friends - Patricia certainly had. But now, she saw that it had all been a trick for some shelter. You couldn't possibly imagine how hurt Pat was when Lillithe laughed in Pat's face. That, for her, was the moment of betrayal. She knew she could never be happy here - that was obvious. She wanted to escape this horrible place. Bu how? And where would she go?

((ooh, nice touch, doing it from patricia's point of view. She's kind of the incompetant, doesn't-get-it sort))

((Somebody continue this! I only post on it every two entries from other people.))

Blaire stared at the ceiling: she had to get them out of her house somehow.They were so..........dirty. Maybe with a few baths.......No, she thought, there's nothing dirtier than the smell of someone I don't like. No, they are going to have to go.

I stared into the window clinging on the wall. couldn't believe that Blaire, and lillithe and patriacia were my charges. Fairy godmather or not I refused to stoop to the level of helping little girls. They did have their little things that made them a bit lovable: Lilithe could have made a wonderful fairy godmother intern if she wasn't so sulky all the time. That and she was mortal;Blaire was just a little lonely; and Patricia. Well, who can't love that little cutey.Still, they were snotty little girls. I was going to go straight to the council.
No, I can't! Those brats are groing on me all ready! And with that choice I flew away leaving my fairy dust to spy on them for me me. Even fairies need their beauty sleep!

????? I didn't think this story was in 1st person.
(June 27, 2009 - 2:36 pm)
((It wasn't in first person, but we can just remember to all use 3rd person next time.))
Patricia couldn't think of anywhere that she could go, but she didn't want to stay with Blaire and Lilithe. They treated her like scum on the face of a pond. She didn't have any other relatives that she knew of... She wished could just get up and walk out the door, but she din't have enough courage!
Suddenly the doorbell rang. Patricia saw a maid open the door to a black-haired woman dressed in furs and scarves.
"Do you you have an appointment with Mr. ((what was his name again?))?"
"Sorry, but no," the woman answered. "I am Patricia's aunt Darilyn, and I have come to take her home with me to stay."
"I believe the girl is staying here with us, Miss. No need to take her with you, she's perfectly happy."
"Ask her yourself if she's happy, if so I'll walk away."
The maid turned and saw Patricia on the steps. "You shouldn't eavesdrop you know. I assume you know the question I have for you."
"I'd like to go with Aunt Darilyn." Pat (Can I call her Pat? It's shorter!) said, although she'd never heard of the aunt in her life.

that was because this was not her actual aunt. It was a Fairy godmother in disguise. And she was going to help Pat and the other girls too. Because the Fairy Godmother's needed them very much. Now.

No never mind what I wrote!! Actually lets have her be evil and hold pat for a ransom and lillithe saves the day and since she's the hero.
(July 1, 2009 - 7:22 pm)
I couldn't really decide whether the "aunt" was the fairy godmother in disguise, or evil. I think I'll just let someone else choose, whoever wants to continue it. Although I have a bit of trouble seeing Lilithe saving Pat at this point in the story, anyway... I don't really know what'll happen to Patricia, can someone else please post?
