Corby smiled and lifted Elric onto the sofa, stuttering a cough. She sighed and watched everyone happily dancing.

Is it time to leave? she thought to her author.

I think it is Corby...if you would like to. He replied quietly. Corby looked around at all of her friends, standing.

But...i'm ill. I'll die if I leave. she admitted.

To be honest Corby, this house isn't saving you whatsoever. You won't die if you come outside, I'll write about you, change your future so you won't die.

Really? Corby asked in shock.

Of course. I don't really want you in here anymore. It's getting too dangerous. She looked around again. Leigh, Elric, Flamara. They'd still be there. All of them.

Maybe it was a good idea to leave. Maybe she should. She held Elric's hand tightly, then whispering, "Goodbye," walked over to Leigh and whispered the same thing. She immediatley stopped happy dancing and stared at her in shock. 

"Really?" she stuttered and Corby nodded. They held eachother in eachothers arms tightly then gently let go.

"I'll be back. I promise I'll be back." she said, determined.

Oh no you wont.

"I love you Leigh," she whispered.

"I love you too Corby." Leigh replied.

And with that, Corby walked through the dancing crowd, to the front door where she turned the knob and opened it. She turned to see Leigh, tears in her eyes. She smiled and mouthed a 'goodbye', then looked out to the snow.

She grabbed her coat and scarf, then ran into the snow, the door shutting behind her. She would miss this place, but she would be back.

She promised she would.

Author guidance for This exercise

Welcome to the hideout for misfit characters. Otherwise known as The Hideout. I hope you will enjoy your stay here, and please don't leave without saying 'goodbye'!

I haven't a clue what is going on. Until somebody informs me, this will remain as it is. (A space where there would otherwise be a synopsis).


Rules and Guidelines
1. This is a house in the middle of nowhere. It can only be reached on foot or by magic.
2. Do not write from another characters point of view without their permission; do not kill off their character without discussing it with them.
3. Please read previous chapters and do not interfere with the personality that has been given to other characters before your chapter, and do not change individual plots if other people are working on them.
4. It's quite hard to leave this house - you'll see that soon.
5. Please don't use any 'mature' content, and please don't use swear-words or other not-so-pleasant content.
6. Thanks, and have fun!

Most importantly, have fun, be safe, and don't give out your real name or address!

Yours,
Delorfinde Mairim Telcontar
