My Grandfather's Sword
ONE: Choices
Who you are determine the choices you make.
The choices you make determine who you are.
A wolf howls, and all little critters scurry away. Standing solitary on top of the cliff, it howled at the moon. One by one, dark shadows appear next to him. Together, the wolf pack howls in harmony.
" Wolves," she thought as she paced lazily near the edge of the stream. Slowly as she turned her head toward the moonlight, waves of gold flowed down her back. She smoothed the leather cuff link on her wrist. It gave her a safe security that no one or no thing has ever made her feel. " It should be about time," she thought. Reaching into the pocket of her torn, jean hip huggers, she lifted out a smooth, old-fashioned watch. She lifted its cover, and the slow rhythmic tick sounded. " It's midnight," she read. Clasping the watch's link, onto her belt loop, she slid it back into her pocket. She began walking next to the stream, following its path. Soon, shadows began creeping out from the dark trees in the woods. One by one, the shadows walked alongside her. As the moon's rays hit them, you can see that they aren't shadows, but humans ready to awake the dead.
Together, they walked along the stream and followed it until they came to a clearing. The leader sat down the grassy hill, and peered down at the small town underneath her feet. She toyed with her long blonde hair, and didn't even pay attention to the ones sitting next to her. They waited in silence. Soon, as a slight breeze rustled the grass around them, the leader pulled out her watch again. " Half past midnight," she said softly. She broke the silence. Voices began to speak up.
" Who is it this time?" the female next to her asked. She ran her fingers through her cropped blue streaked ebony hair.
" Why do you always assume we're going after someone?" the leader replied, slyly.
" Sere, c'mon," a raven-haired female scoffed, " You always have someone in mind."
The leader pouted, then her lips sprang into a grin of complete mischief. " Andrew Kalian."
" Andrew Kalian?" the blonde next to the raven-haired repeated in surprise. " Why him?"
" Because his best friend has my grandfather's sword," came the simple reply.
" So, what's the plan, Sere?" the brunette leaned forward to hear better.
" It's simple, Lita," the leader replied. " Mina," she motioned to the other blonde, " is going to seduce him."
" What!" the female with blue highlights exclaimed. " That's not a rational plan, Serena Tenor!"
The leader waved her hand carelessly. " Amy, as long as it works, then it'll be fine."
" Let's hear more," the raven-haired instructed.
" Well, Raye," Serena replied, " First Mina seduces him, like I said…"
" I'm seducing Andrew Kalian?" Mina said faintly.
" Yes! Goodness people! Are you not listening to me?" Serena threw her hands up in the air, exasperated.
" Go on!" Raye urged.
Serena blew a piece of her blonde bangs into the air. " Andrew will ask her to his house, Mina will accept, they'll do their thing, Andrew falls asleep afterwards like a useless man, Mina opens the door, I sneak in, and grab my grandfather's sword," Serena explained everything in a careless manner, as if one is plotting to go out and buy milk from a grocery store.
" What do we do?" Amy asked, still doubtful of this plan.
" Well, you guys keep Andrew's other friends busy. I don't want them bothering Andrew and Mina. Or god forbid, they follow Andrew home for some pathetic guys night or something and watch sports." Serena twined a piece of blonde hair around her finger, and looked at her friends.
" I get Chad," Lita said, as she held her hand out.
" Greg." Raye put her hand on top.
Amy sighed. " Fine. Ken." She added her hand in.
" Andrew?" Mina said weakly, and placed her hand on top.
" Darien," Serena growled, and placed her hand on top. " One, two, three," Serena whispered. " Let's go."
