 Stalker of Stories 2/13/09 . chapter 1There were screams. Horrible, high-pitched trills that sent shivers down the backs of a great many. It was chaos; no one knew who to trust, who would take them down or turn them, and the screams disallowed even the mere thought of thought.
A small boy with black hair ran as fast has he could amidst the chaos, hoping against hope to not be caught, that the groping hands wouldn't catch him, but it was a false hope, he knew. It was inevitable. A dismayed warble came from just behind him, the enemy was in hot pursuit, and then the worst happened.
He tripped.
Wailing something unintelligible, the boy tried to keep going, to not fall flat on the ground, to not stop, but he did anyway. Before he could regain himself, a firm hand not much larger than his own lay flat on his back, and the screams turned to those of glee."You're it, Teddy!" He sighed but got up and continued playing his games with the other children in the Kindercare. Such a vicious game, Tag.
That evening, as he went home with his godfather, Harry asked, "So, how was your first day of school? Did you learn anything interesting?
Large green eyes, magically created mirrors to those of the man, looked up before a smile spread slowly over Teddy's face. He reached up one small hand, tapped Harry on the arm, and declared, "Tag, you're it!" before darting down the remainder of the path to the house.
Low chuckles emanated from the hero of the wizarding world. He hadn't played tag in a long time.
Okay, so now you've read the start, it is your duty to continue the game. This is One-shot tag, and the rules are
1. When you get tagged, you much tag at least 2 other people, but no more than 5
2. No tag-backs
3. To tag someone, you must write a one-shot to put in a review for that person
4. You don't have to write different one-shots for each tag, but you can
5. Anyone can tag you at any time, so long as you didn't just tag them
6. Your one-shot does not have to be the same fandom as the one you were tagged with, but it does have to be for a fandom that the person you tag writes for
7. You must post the rules with your one-shot
8. Your one-shot must include the words "tag you're it!
Other than that? Have fun!
