Arrival by Dark Borg drone
7:15 a.m.
''Presley wake up hon,'' Amanda Carnovan calls to her son. Presley calls down: ''Coming Mom." So who drew ''go to school with Rapses" duty this morning?
I see the young prince come down all half awake, well what would anyone expect it's 7:15 on a Monday morning. I tap on the window. Presley sees me and after about 5 or so seconds the door opens. He says ''Come you crazy carpenter get your tut in here!''
I say ''Yeah I'm coming.''
Amanda, Presley's mom comes up just then saying teasingly to her son '' Is your friend going with you today. He looks a little old to be in your grade mister.''
After a few minutes we head out the door to a lazer tag field trip.
X.. I see an older man standing outside one house he wears the simple necklace of a guardian so I know that..Is that just then a young boy about Rapses's age comes out of the house. Seeing the amulet I know, the boy is my reborn son. The young boy and older man run down the block. I heard something about a school, so I follow.
After a few minutes of fast running Jesus and I get to school. Noticing that he keeps on looking back as we come in, I ask: ''What's wrong you already know Scarab and Chontra are coming on this trip and the sleepover tonight. So why the heck are you being so jumpy?''
Usually Jesus will shoot me a sheepish look but not today. He doesn't look happy, or sheepish for that matter. He has that look in his eyes that I've noticed all of the other shifters get when they start to slip into 'protect the prince' mode. He crouches saying: ''Presley I noticed someone in a cloak following us this morning, that's why I'm so as you put it jumpy.''
Presley cracks a grin saying: '' you know we could and probably will lose whoever it was in the crowd when the warning bell rings."
''You wanna try that?" I say.
''Yeah let's try to anyway, either that or whoever it is has just picked a fight with a guardian.'' That comment earns me another impish grin from my little friend. The warning bell rings and here we go.
X.. So this newcomer thinks he can elude me that easily hmm? Time to show him that noone messes with me at all where my child is concerned. Following them to the room of learning, I grab the new guardian's arm. He gives my son a gentle nudge saying ''I'll be right there.''
I say "Your name and birthplace guardian?''
He is silent.
I ask again saying: "answer me guardian, or do I need to show you your place?''
I smile at that last comment, but when he asked the question the first time around I missed it. I was thinking of doing my job duh I reply: "I'm sorry I missed the question the first time." Adding: "Jesus, Bethlehem.'' I tense now that I've made pharoah angry I expect a fight and sure enough I get one. He sounds a battle cry I've heard from Ja-kal.
I call out: "BY THE POWER OF THE SHIFTER!" Kougra! We face off falcon and kougra in silence. I pull my bat'tlh and go on the attack.
X.. His weapon is different but this is my child he stands between me and my reborn son. We fight for a few minutes and then the door opens and a teacher comes out.
I watch Mr. Williams try to break it up, and catch on that Jesus didn't pick the fight because he's the one looking awfully sheepish about it. Tiny nudges me in the back saying: ''hey Presley are you and that new guardian coming tonight still.'' I see the kougra headdress nod.
X.. I see the one person I hate more than any other walking down the hall. I attack before Scarab has a chance to armor. The next thing I know that Jesus, new guardian though he is has the nerve to knock me aside saying gently: '' It's okay they're coming too.''
After a few minutes Mr. Williams reminds the whole class about the sub. I crack a grin and go perch in the window. Pharaoh is still glaring at me, but I just ignore him. Hey even a guardian has those ''had it up to here'' moments.
The sub (a Miss Johnson) says: ''Now children according to the lesson plan your teacher left today's subject is the pharaoh Amenhotep.''
I'm right behind where he's sitting so I figure I'm not even going there. I mean there's something really funny I could say but I don't want to give the poor woman a heart attack by armoring up again so I won't.
X.. I turn around and that guardian seems to be silently laughing at something. He winks at me and looking to see that the teaching woman's attention is on her lesson whispers :
"Well I could've told her that even you have your immature moments but I didn't."
I give him a look of approval and realize he is a good guardian.
I finish the pop quiz on the Pharaoh Amenhotep and for a joke pass it back to my guardian on duty. We swap a look and just softly crack up.
He asks: ''can I show your "dad" or did you want to?''
I grin saying: ''why don't you do the honors?''
