(Just an idea..)
A small girl ran silently into an open, airy glen and stopped in front of an ancient oak tree. She glanced around, making sure no one was watching and quickly disappeared into a hole behind it.
Little did she know, she was being watched. A man stood on the outside of the glen. He had followed her for miles, watching, waiting, planning. Now that he had finally found their meeting place he could tell the world who and what they really were. The man's expression coiled into a malicious smile and he pulled out a small blinking device....

Oh my gosh! That's really good.

thanks.. any more ideas?

(hmm, let's see. . .)
He threw it at the tree, and it latched on to the side conspicuous in the vines wrapped around the oak.

(good.. very suspenseful)
Seeming content, the man walked slowly out of the glen. His evil smile growing larger with every step.

Meanwhile, the girl was deep in discussion with a.. well.. simply a being without a name, without a description, without identity. He was talking with a course, raspy voice that echoed into the depths of the tree. "What will happen?" he asked, "I haven't been able to find it and if Neraida hears about this i'll be -" Suddenly he was cut off by a beautiful creature that had just appeared. "What this about Neraida not hearing?" the woman asked. She was tall with green eyes and dark skin. Her hair was a chesnut brown and if she had not been moving she would have blended in perfectly with the tree.

She was an elf, wandering wherever and whenever she wanted to be.

(wow.. i was gonna see what creature you made her, and that's exactly what i had in mind!!)

"Oh! Neraida! I.. um.. well.. I.. you see..." the thing stammered.
"Yes.." Neraida said patiently.
"Well, I couldn't find the book," he muttered, "I looked everywhere for it! i traveled for miles and miles in search!"
Neraida looked around and walked toward the wall. She slowly placed her hand on the wall, and suddenly yelled, "YOU DIDN'T FIND IT!!" anger welling up inside her, "I entrust you to do one single thing for the good of The Circle, but noo it's too hard for you! How could you not find it!!"

"There were complications," He cringed but nothing happened. Neraida didn't attack him. Yet.
"Complications?" She asked with a mocking voice.
He nodded fervently.

"Well, Cosa, I do believe you have some work to do," Neraida said matter-of-factly, "I have to have that book. Without it He-"she paused, "-will come back to The Circle and that disaster will happen all over again."

(what's the girl's name?)

(i dont know.. Cosa is the thing.. It's italian for thing.. go figure.. if you have any ideas for the girl's name, shoot..)

(hmm. . . I need something new. Carolyn?)

(i like it.. )
The little girl finally spoke up in a small, silky voice, "Neraida, Why don't you let me go?"
Neraida looked at her with an expression that looked like the girl had just asked her to blow up a building, "No, you absolutely may not! Carolyn, if we lost you, the whole point of finding the book would be lost," She said in a firm, motherly like tone.

(la da da da! hmm.... :_ Kein?)

(instead of Carolyn? i like and i can change it.. if i'm right?)

(If you want. I just make up names as I go. So if you need a name!)

(no, i really like it! Callie, what do you think? I like Carolyn better for a villain.. like for the bad guy's (whose name we don't have) accomplice)

(Callie? Are you there??)

(hehehe.. just wait.. she'll come back)

( I hope so... I get edgy when things are quiet around here.... o_o)

(yeah.. we can keep going.. and i can change the names on mine.. if callie thinks otherwise..)

(okay! so.... where were we?)

Cosa knew she was right. Neraida was usually right and (for an elf) she was unusually cunning. Elves were usually just sweet and pleasant. However, Neraida had become the leader of an unknown group called The Circle. It was a group for non-humans.

Cosa sighed. "What would you have me do?" he asked.

(wait.. what girl?)

(yeah... now I'm confused.)

((isn't there a girl who cosa was talking to before the elf walked in? thats how i interpreted it?))

(Yeah, but she belongs to the group--> Carolyn. I don't know what kind of creature to make her. I was thinking of a nymph or something..)

(her name's Carolyn.. the group's name is The Circle)

((i thought they'd kidnapped her or something))

(nope.. but there can be a fugitive.......)
Suddenly another creature entered the tree holding onto a trembling boy, "I found him wandering around in the woods." said the creature.
"Good job, Keil"said Neraida. Keil was in fact a forest centaur.

((should i delete that comment that was conflustering??))

(if u want... i guess if someone new tries to get into it, it might confuse them.. but copy and paste it to the next one and change the girl to boy and add a little bit of description about the boy)

((kk))

Apparently they took no notice of the boy, who was glancing around, confused as ever. He was tall with a lanky sort of build. His sandy brown hair fell into his face, creating the illusionn that he couldn't see. but he could see everything.
His name was Chase, but they didn't know that, either. they also didn't realize that the boy could betray their secrets in one word, let alone run away. which he was contemplating, as well.

(good.. i like ur style of writing..)
Finally, Carolyn glanced in his direction and asked,"What is your name boy?"
Her small stature and tinkling voice startled him for a moment. He answered,"My name's Chase. Where am I? What are you?"
Carolyn laughed and replied,"Your in a tree and I'm a nymph."

"a nymph? Trees? What are you talking about?" He asked scared.

Carolyn glanced at Neraida who nodded. She then turned toward him and asked, "Do you read books, fairy tales? Do you have night-mares?"
He answered slightly confused,"Yeah.. every kid does. Why?"
"Because you're in one."

Now a true look of fear was in the boys eyes. "What? What are you talking about? I can't! No!" He yelled.

Carolyn felt sorry for the boy, yet she went on, "Oh, yes. Now, you will never be able to leave. I am truly sorry."

"What?!" He cried. Chase felt terrified. "Why can't I wake up?" He begged.

(This is good.. a dream land.. no one can escape from ..)
"You are too far into the dream to wake up now. In your dreams, however, you can accomplish things you never thought of while awake." Carolyn replied.

Chase was still shaken from the shock. "I can never go back?" He asked. "Even if I killed myself?"

"Well, if you kill yourself, you won't be dreaming anyway so i guess.. if you want to, go ahead!" Cosa cut in.

((ok so is Carolyn a good guy or bad guy and where did Chase come from. Can he be turned into a creature while inside the tree if he helps "the small girl" find the book??))

((ok.. Carolyn (nymph) is in this group, The Circle.. they're good.. Cosa is a 'thing' and he's sarcastic, Keil is a centaur, Neraida is an elf (kinda the leader). I was kinda thinking of doing that, so if you want to go ahead!))

Carolyn gave Cosa a harsh look and said comfortingly, "Chase, in your dreams you can become anything you want. An animal, a mythical creature like us or a cloud in the sky! You decide."

((is this really a dreamland?))

((yeah.. kinda.. he's too far into the dream to get out.. in the end it should all be a dream that he could get out of, but for the time being.. its a dream..))

Chase vigorously shook his head. "I don't want to be anything! I just want to wake up... I just want to go home..." He started cry.

"I'm so sorry!" said Carolyn, "But you have no choice. You must be something or you will have to join Conture, the Humans' organization."
