Eve's First Day of School
Author's Note: The only character I own in this is Purim.
Part 1: And So It Begins
Eve looked around in wonder at all the children in the hall. She had never been near this many people before.
"Pretty neat, huh?" the beautiful blond woman standing beside her said.
"Yeah Aya," Eve said excitedly. "I've never seen this many people before."
"Well there's a lot of students at this school, so you'll get used to it," Aya Brea replied with a smile.
She had never seen Eve this excited before. It was Eve's first day at school. Now that Aya had saved her from the Shelter Base, she would finally get a chance to live the life of a normal child. As they continued down the hall they finally reached Eve's new classroom.
There was a sign on the door, which said "Mr. Takaishi's Grade 7 Class."
"This is it. Are you ready?" Aya asked Eve.
"I guess so," Eve replied nervously.
Aya knocked lightly on the door and a young man opened the door. He had short blond hair tucked under what looked like a fisherman's cap and he had light blue eyes. He looked about 25 years old.
"Hello," said the man. "I'm Takeru Takaishi. How can I help you?" "Hi," Aya replied. "I'm Aya Brea and this is my sister Eve. This is her first day in school and I was told this was to be her class."
"Ah, yes it is. Come on in."
After a few minutes of discussions between Aya and Mr. Takaishi, Aya leaned down to Eve.
"You're all set kiddo. I'm gonna go now. Kyle and I have to work late so Pierce and Jodie will be picking you up. Meet them out front after class ok?"
"Ok. Bye Aya."
As Aya walked out the door the bell rang, signaling the beginning of the school day. After all the students had come in and sat down Mr. Takaishi walked to the front of the room.
"Kids, we have a new member to our class today. This is Eve Brea. Welcome her to the class."
After a chorus of hi's and hello's (and a few whistles from some boys), Mr. Takaishi continued.
"Now Eve if you'll just take a seat in one of the empty desks we'll get started."
Eve looked around at the empty seats. There were only 3. One was in the very front of the class. The second was right in the middle of the pack of boys who whistled at her.
"I definitely don't want to sit there with a bunch of obnoxious boys," Eve thought to herself.
The last seat caught her eye. Mostly because of the girl sitting in the chair beside it waving Eve over. The girl had long brown hair and striking light purplish eyes. Eve walked over and sat down beside her, placing her books in front of her on the desk. Then Eve turned to the girl beside her.
"Hi," the girl began. "Your name's Eve Brea right?"
"Yeah," Eve replied.
"Are you related to Aya Brea by any chance?" the girl asked.
"Yeah. She's my sister. How did you know?"
"I thought I had seen you before," the girl said. "You were with Aya one time when she stopped by my uncle's house. My name is Purim Pandora. I'm Pierce Carradine's niece," the girl finished with a smile.
"Wow, your uncle is Pierce? He's a really nice guy."
"Yeah he is, heheh."
They were interrupted by Mr. Takaishi.
"Excuse me girls. I know you want to get to know each other better, but save it until recess please." "Sorry Mr. Takaishi," both girls replied giggling.
Time went by slowly as Mr. Takaishi droned on and on about Math.
"God this is so boring," Eve thought. "I hope it gets better."
Suddenly the bell rang.
"Ok kids it's time for gym class. Purim make sure Eve gets to the gymnasium alright," Mr. Takaishi said as kids started rushing out the door.
"Yes Mr. Takaishi," Purim replied, grabbing Eve by the arm and dragging he towards the gym.
"So what do we do in gym?" Eve asked Purim.
"Um I generally just stare at the teacher. Mr. Kamiya is soooo cute," Purim said as she began giggling. "But really we generally play soccer. Mr. Kamiya really loves soccer."
When the two arrived at the gym a tall man with spiky brown hair and a woman with short brown hair and beautiful red-brown eyes walked up to them.
"Hello there," began the man. "I'm Taichi Kamiya and this is my wife, Sora. We're the gym teachers and who might you be."
"Uh, I'm Eve Brea," Eve replied shyly. "Wow, Purim was right. He is cute," Eve thought. "I'm new here. This is my first day at this school."
"Well welcome to my class. Do you know how to play soccer?" Mr. Kamiya asked.
"Umm, not really," Eve replied embarrassed. "We didn't play many sports where I used to live."
"Oh, where are you from?" "I'm from uh.... New York," Eve replied quickly, using the name of Aya's hometown.
"And you didn't play soccer there?" Mrs. Kamiya asked.
"My school didn't really have many sports," Eve lied.
"Well you two seem to get along well," Mr. Kamiya indicated Purim and Eve. "So Purim can tell you how to play."
After explaining the rules to Eve, the two girls joined in. All was going well until Stephanie McCready, one of the schools snootier girls, decided to make an example of Eve.
"Look at how all the guys are watching Eve and Purim," Stephanie whispered to one of her groupies. "I'll teach them to mess with Stephanie McCready."
Mr. Kamiya blew the whistle and the lines switched. Eve's line came on and for the other team Stephanie's line. One of Stephanie's teammates kicked the ball over to Stephanie. Stephanie lined up her shot.
"Don't mess with me Brea," Stephanie said as she booted the ball with all her strength.
The ball flew straight at Eve and slammed into her face, knocking her to the ground. The whistle blew as Mr. Kamiya called a time out.
"Ughh," Eve groaned in pain as she slowly got to her feet.
Eve looked over at Stephanie and her friends who were laughing and giggling at what had happened. Eve could feel the anger boiling inside her.
"She did that on purpose," Eve thought. "Why would she do that."
As Eve got more and more angry Stephanie began to feel weird. Suddenly Stephanie's arm burst into flame. Stephanie began to scream and Mr. Kamiya ran over and smothered the blaze with his shirt, which he had pulled off.
Eve stumbled backwards as this happened.
"I thought my powers were gone," Eve thought in horror. "Why did that happen. Something weird is going on."
Purim ran over to Eve.
"Hey Eve are you ok?" she asked sitting down beside her friend.
Eve didn't answer as she continued staring at Stephanie.
"How," Eve muttered over and over.
"Eve are you ok," Purim asked again, this time shaking Eve.
"Huh, what?" Eve asked looking over at the girl.
I said are you ok?" Purim asked a third time.
"Yeah I'm fine," Eve replied weakly.
"I thought your powers were gone," Purim whispered.
"How do you know about my powers," Eve asked quickly.
"Uncle Pierce, told me all about his adventures with Aya. He made me promise never to tell anyone else about them," Purim replied. "Don't worry you can trust me. You can always trust your best friend," Purim said smiling.
Eve smiled back and replied, "Thanks. I thought my powers were gone too. I wish I could talk with Aya."
Suddenly the lights went out. Various cursing was heard around the gym.
"What's going on," Aya asked.
"I'm not sure, but I'll go check in the office," Mr. Kamiya replied.
Mr. Kamiya walked out the door. Purim and Eve sat down in a corner of the gym.
"I have a really bad feeling about this," Eve said to Purim.
"I know how you feel," Purim replied.
All of a sudden the gym door flew in. A large creature charged into the room. It looked similar to a kangaroo only with a head closer to that of a monkey. Eve stood and stared at the creature.
"Oh god, it's an NMC," Eve thought. "Quickly get everyone out of here," Eve shouted.
Kids were already running out the other door as Eve words came out. Another creature followed the first into the room.
"Purim get out of here," Eve whispered to her friend.
"No I'll stay with you," the brown-haired girl replied.
One of the NMCs chose this moment to charge at Purim. At the last moment Purim stepped to the side and swung her foot low, catching the NMC on the back of the knee.
"Did I mention I studied martial arts," Purim said with a smile.
Eve however wasn't paying attention to Purim. She was concentrating. Voices shouted in her head.
"Freedom," the voices shouted continually.
Suddenly fire burst forth from Eve's hands and engulfed the other NMC. It screamed as pain as the fire melted it's flesh and it fell to the ground, a lump of burnt muscle and bone.
The NMC that Purim had knocked down had got back to its feet and had cornered the girl.
"Uh Eve, little help here," Purim yelled.
Eve held one of her hands out and a ball of energy began to form. It flew towards the NMC. The ball smashed into the NMC's head, sending bits of gore flying all over the room. The lifeless creature slummed to the floor. Eve fell to her knees as she looked at what she had done.
"Why are the NMCs back? Why have my powers returned?" Eve muttered as Purim helped Eve to her feet.
"Maybe Aya or Pierce would know," Purim suggested. "We can go find them, but first we should make sure the students are ok."
"Good idea," Eve replied.
The two girls walked out into the hall where the students had ran. The students stood there frozen in fear as another NMC stood at the end of the hall. Eve ran forward. The voices chanted in her head.
"Plasma," the voices said.
Electricity began to run along the floor. It flowed up into the NMC and it exploded in a shower of goo. Eve turned towards the students and Mrs. Kamiya.
"Mrs. Kamiya we need to get the kids somewhere safe until I can figure out what's going on," Eve began.
"What are you," Mrs. Kamiya asked, terrified.
"We'll deal with that later. The safety of you and these kids is more important."
"The basement cellar should be safe," Sora stated.
"Ok, lead the way I'll protect us."
The students quickly made their way through the deserted halls. No one could be seen, be it human or NMC.
"No corpses," Eve thought, "so the other students must have made it out safely."
Eve waved for the students to stop as she peered around a corner. Two NMCs stood there, pawing the body of an unconscious child. Eve stepped forward and beams of energy shot from her hands. They blew through the NMC's, which fell to the ground. Eve waved for the students to follow her as she ran to the young girl lying on the ground.
A pool of blood surrounded the girl. Eve flipped her over and gasped. There was a large gash in the girl's chest where one of the NMCs had slashed her. Mrs. Kamiya leaned down and checked the girl for a pulse.
"She's alive, barely," Sora whispered.
Eve placed her hands on the girl's face and blue light began to surround them. The girl's wound began to close as the blue light washed over it. Suddenly the girl gasped and sat up.
"Are you ok," Purim asked the girl.
"Wha..What happened?" the girl replied.
"She'll be fine," Eve stated coldly as she got to her feet. Turning to Sora Kamiya she asked, "Is the cellar close?"
"Yes. It's just down the hall."
"Take the children there and lock yourselves in. The NMCs shouldn't be able to get to you there."
Eve turned to look at the students.
"I need a volunteer," she began. "Someone who will come with me to guide me, as I don't know where anything is."
"I'll go with you," Purim said stepping forward.
Eve smiled at Purim then spoke, "Ok get to the cellar and good luck."
The students took off down the hall and Eve turned to Purim.
"Can you lead me to wherever the announcement system is? I want to send a message for any students to go to the cellar."
"Sure," Purim replied. "It's this way. We have to go through the cafeteria to get there though."
"Lead the way."
The two girls quickly and quietly slipped down the hall. They rounded a corner and came to the door, which lead to the cafeteria.
"It's just on the other side of the cafeteria," Purim stated as she opened the door.
The two girls stepped inside. Eve looked around in surprise. The room was completely covered in mutated plant life. In the middle was a huge twenty foot tall plant, with a large gaping mouth.
"Crap," Purim muttered as the creatures vines approached them.
To be continued.
