Inspired Quills

Kyani sat with the girls from her room, grinning at all the Holiday festivities. Christmas was a bit of a quiet affair at the Taylor house. There was no trees or cakes or presents. No laughter filled her mother's flat on that day. It was unremarkable from any other day. So, when she had been invited...

Kyani had been to her share of parties in her life and as more people made their appearance the young girl could feel her alter ego being pulled to the surface, like a prickling under her skin. She hated it. And the hated the the first thing she did was glance around for champagne to take the edge o...

"I'm fine," Kyani answered Angela's question with a low whisper and a lie. Then she opted for the truth. "I don't much like hights." She was happy listening to the da--Cana and Gabe chat with--Mia? Mae? No... Maija. Kyani was much better at being a face than a conversation partner, especially when a...

Kyani had to admit, that while Gabe hadn't met her physical expectations, there was something about him that--oddly enough--put her at ease. The girl couldn't remember the last time she had been that close to that many men and not have the horrid twisty-turny feeling in her stomach. Even as Gable le...

There were some things about magic the continued to impress Kyani to know end. Like the fact that her entire Tumi matched luggage set was able to fit in the satchel across her shoulder without it weighing any more than the actual leather itself. Part of her wondered if the magically extended bag wou...

And the plush pillow in her hands was one of the most thoughtful things she had ever been given. Gabe h...

The combination of the warm air from the duffel, the protective cushioning, and the gentle sway of Cana's stride had practically lulled Kyani to sleep on the walk from the castle to Hogsmeade. Still only being a first year, it was technically against school rules for her to leave the grounds. But wh...

Kyani felt a water smile reacher her lips as Angela talked about the two of them being friends. She really hoped they were. She hadn't really planed on telling anyone, She wanted a fresh start, where no one knew her. And she'd gotten it! Until Eric ruined it all. She was sure he was over there telli...

Kyani sipped on the water Angela had given her as she helped the girl clean off her clothing. It was ruined. There would be stains and everything. Even if there was a spell to remove the stains, the Slytherin doubted she would be able perform it. Maybe she could ask Cana to help. But now she was muc...

Kyani didn't usually act like a homicidal maniac. At least, not when all a person had said was her name. But he had said it in that way. Like he knew her. Knew who she was. And she knew that if he kept talking, everyone else would know too. This please was supposed to be a start-over. Where no one c...
