The Dead Do Not Whisper Back

[casca]

Raven walked between the graves of those who died long ago. She looked at names and wondered why so many people have died here. She saw a smooth moss covered piece of marble and sat down.

She wore a black tee shirt with a red painted X on it and black jeans.

With a sheepish smile she whispered at her black attire, "How appropriate."

[Samantha]

Samantha was roaming the graves and heard a person, a girl it sounded, but she could not make out what they were saying or what was going on. She decided that she would go see whom was doing what. Her long white hair was pulled up into a big messy bun on top of her head and she wore a skirt, knee length and flowy, and a light green shirt, matching her eyes.

She poked her head around some of the tombstones and smiled, "Oh Hello! I do hope I am not intrudeing. I mean..I just thought..maybe there were a few people over here...heard a voice...I well..I hope I am not being a bother." She said trying not to sound to dumb, but she felt bad for just sort of poping up.

[casca]

Raven smiled and said, "You're not intruding and your not a bother. You can come sit down if you want." She pointed to a nearby rock.

"My name is Raven." she added

[Samantha]

Sam smiled back and took a seat, she sighed and then relized, she hadn't intoduced her self.
She laughed a little at her stupidity.
"Sam, thats me, it's nice to meet you Raven...Are you new here?"

[casca]

"Yes i am. I just arrived about two days ago." She shuffled around to get comfortable and sctratched her head.


"You look at least a second year...i mean you look ajusted and all" she said

[Samantha]

"Well, I am still a first year, I have been here, uhm...alomst four months now. But I have gotten used to everything and such. Still don't even know half the people, so many!" She said with a slight laugh.

"I know you have been here a short while, but what do you think? Like it here?" She asked.

[casca]

"Yes, i like it here but sometimes, i feel out of place." She smiled and added, "Maybe im just different, in a bad way."

[Samantha]

Sam looked at her and shook her head. "No, trust me I have been here a while, as I said before, and well, to be honest sometimes I still feel pretty out of place. I wish I could tell you that everything will just get better, I mean, most of it will, but not all of it." She said sadly.

"But, I mean, I have friends, thats all I need. I know that if you don't have tons of friends now, you will soon. Plus you have me! What more do you need. I'm jokeing of course." She added with a small laugh.

[casca]

Raven smiled, "I am glad to have you as a friend."
