----------------------------------------------------------------

I've always been a strange writer. I tend to talk to myself and I answer myself as my characters for the purpose of trying to discover their habits. For example, I've asked my fanfic self how I wanted to die several times. Of course it was always me answering myself, never my computer.

Either way, this story is about my demon possessed computer. I know, catchy title, eh? Well it all started on the fateful day I was writing a fanfiction. Not any fanfcition, a SS TP fanfiction. For most of you, you don't know what ship that is. See, I find that Lily and James compliment each other too much not to be together but that left me in a predicament. Almost everyone had someone but Snape! Who would he go with? Professor Sprout *shudders* So hence Taylor Padfoot was born. She was the saucy neice of Sirius Black, born of the squib sister he never knew about. She had a little brother, Jeremy who was a pain in the butt yet hilarious. The four of them (Sirius included, he'd been brought back from the dead too) were quite amuzing. So far I'd gotten to the part where we discover that Taylor had a little crush on Severus. But unfortunately I had reached my writer's block point and decided to write her death scene instead; poor Severus can never seem to keep his girls alive.

"Taylor laid there on the ground, her lips parted slightly as she began to pant. The blood was pouring out and she couldn't stand to look at it. A part of her knew that even if SEverus healed her, she'd never last long, the damage was too far done. Severus didn't think that though and, with Brinda dead and the Vultures having departed, he was kneeling beside her. The counter-curse wasn't working for some reason though."

I had paused there, unsure what to write when suddenly something appeared on my screen right under where I can began to write."[/i]

Taylor; That's rather sad.

Many times I had written conversations between myself and my chracters but never when the computer wrote back to me. For awhile I just stared at it, half expecting for someone in my house to start laughing or for me to suddenly wake up. Instead another message appeared.

Taylor; Taylor? T.K.? Oh my Rowling! I think I killed the writer!
Severus; She always rests though...
Taylor; Not this long without opening up another thing or leaving the computer... I killed her!!
Severus; Great job Tay!
Taylor; You know what? Shut up, Sev!
Was I dreaming or something? That wasn't normal at all! My computer was talking to itself! Hestitantly I typed back to my henious imagination.

"Hello?"
Taylor; Oh good! *relaxes* I didn't kill you!
Jeremy; *rolls eyes* Wow
Severus; You're such a freak... And rude... Well, hello Taylor. How are you feeling?

Again, I was staring at the computer debating my sanity. I closed my eyes tight, I had to be dreaming. But when I opened them again, it was still there blaring messages at my eyes.

Severus; Oh goodness...
Taylor; If she dies, are we dead too?
Jeremy; You know I'm not sure how that works.
Taylor; We are part of her imagination and all...
Severus; That would tank because I really--
Taylor; Tank? Who says tanks?
Severus; I do!

Okay, they were real or my computer was posessed. And they definately couldn't be real.

Harry; Your computer isn't possessed, darling.

That was it; I started screaming. My computer virus just read my thoughts and called me darling. Maybe they were... No! That couldn't happen! They were my characters! I mean... Okay Harry and Severus were both ideas of J.K. Rowling but...

Harry; *sighs* Guys, she's panicking.
Severus; *disgusted* What are you doing here?!
Harry; *glowers* I'm married to the writer, thankyouverymuch!
Taylor; She's panicking? Like Panic! at the Disco, panicking?
Harry; More about the kill herself.
Jeremy; That's not good. Taylor, please don't kill yourself. We rather like living.

Alright... that proved they were real; I had a scratch mark on my arm I had just fashioned and they were all still there and I was still awake. But now I was bleeding...

"Um..."
Harry; See? We're real, darling
"*giggles*"
Severus; What?
"Harry just called me darling!"
Taylor; Well aren't you two married in most of your stupid fanfictions?
"Yes... yes we are..."
Severus; They why wouldn't you be?
"Cause I exist in the real world"
Harry; *incredulously* So do I!

For awhile I just stared at the screen, waiting for someone to say something. Finally, after Taylor typed out all the words to Crushcrushcrush by Paramore, I responded.

"So you can all think for yourself?"
Taylor; Yes. And we also think for you!
Severus; Who else could have given you the brilliant idea for you to make me a significant other?
Taylor; *narrows eyes* Oh I was your brilliant idea, was I?
Jeremy; Ooo...
Severus; Hardly my brilliant idea!
Taylor; *glares hard* What are you trying to say?!
"*clears throat* Taylor, I think he's saying that he made me want to make him a soul mate and I made you. He's not writing-talented enough to think up someone as great as you."
Taylor; *stops glaring* Oh!
Severus; *exhales and relaxes* What she said...
"So you've been helping me with my stories?"
Taylor; And hindering a bit... When you can't think of a good idea, we usually are refusing to cooperate. Your little... you call it Writer's Block?
"So that's the reason I can't figure out yours and Sevvy's moment?"
Severus; *grimaces* Yeah...
"Why?"
Taylor; I get embarassed... and other things I just don't like. For example, when you tried to make me kill Sirius
Sirius; I still don't appreciate that.

I stared at the screen, trying to figure out why Sirius' name just appeared. Was I dreaming? How many more of these people were there?

"Um... can I ask you something?"
Sirius; Course
Harry; Duh
Taylor; Yep!
Jeremy; No dip!
Severus; Naturally
"How many of you are there?"
Harry; A few
Taylor; I think one
Severus; Two
Jeremy; Two
Sirius; One
"Not what I meant... Like how many other little people who talk to me?"
Harry; No idea!
Severus; How many obsessions you have!
Taylor; We're dead...
Sirius; Why?
Jeremy; She has a lot of them...

I blushed a bit and had to laugh in spite of myself. That was true, I did have a lot of them. It was only a matter of time until Jack Skellington or Erik la Phantomelle was to show up here. Wow, that would really cut into my writing time.

"Why aren't they all here?"
Taylor; *snorts* Look how long this document already is! Can you imagine a hundred of us all posting at once?
Harry; Your computer would explode *nod*
Jeremy; WICKED! *cackles*
Harry; *groans* No, that is bad
Severus; Gosh... *rolls eyes* dult!
Jeremy; *glares* I heard that!
"Wait, do you hear this? Like a conversation?"
Severus; Of course we do... Don't you?
"Um... no, I see words on my scream and little ** if you're doing something worth noting."
Taylor; Weird! *giggles*
Severus; Just use your brilliant imagination *smirk*
"You're good with flattery... Maybe I should write that down somewhere."
Sirius; *chuckles* I don't think he'd insult you, Taylor, you could kill him
Taylor; I could!
Jeremy; Not you, moron!
"*smiles* Padfoot, he meant me."
Sirius; I knew that!
"Not you, Padfoot, her Padfoot!"
Taylor; Me Padfoot?
"*groans* Yes you! *sighs*"
Harry; This is confusing!
Jeremy; Oi, I have a headache *rubs forehead*
"Well, we'll figure that part out soon..."

I smiled, content to stay there all night and talk to my little friends in my head. But instead I was forced to get off; I could hear my father telling me to go to bed in the background.

"I need to go, y'all. How do you... um...?"
Harry; Just close this, we'll vanish too but we'll be back here when you need us
Taylor; Or in your head
Jeremy; Maybe texting if I can figure that out!
"Oh gosh... Just stick with Word documents and mind; it works easier."

The last thing I needed was to be in the middle of my biology class to have my phone go off, my teacher look at it and get a message from Taylor asking her to be more descriptive of her fabulous self.

"*laughs* Good night!"
Taylor; Night
Severus; Good night
Sirius; Peace!
Jeremy; See ya!
Harry; Good night, darling *kisses*

I smiled, feeling a slight pressure on my lips when I saw that. Was it actually really real or was I just being weird? Shrugging my shoulders, I closed out of Word (saving it of course) and headed to bed with more to think about than I ever wanted.

HAHAHAHA....this amuses me. xP It reminds me of TORW, how you always seem to have figments of your imagination talking inside your head.

LOL! Oh, those were the good old days
