Adventures in Midgard: Ch. 1

Katheryne waved at her two friends as they pulled away in the now empty moving truck. "Bye Kat! Have fun in your new pad!" Her best friend yelled from the driver's seat.

"Thanks Steph!" Katheryne yelled back.

Thank God we finally unloaded everything, because it looks like it is about to start pouring at any moment! Now to unpack she thought. With a big sigh she turned around and walked into her new home.

The house was small but it was all hers. Things were finally looking up; she had graduated college about a couple months prior, moved out of her parents' house, had gotten a job at the local high school as an English teacher and now had her own place. Yep, this was the good life. However, now looking at all of the boxes that still had to be sorted and organized the good life was going to have to wait just a bit.

Katheryne spent the rest of the day organizing her new abode. Since she did not have so many things to put away she was able to finish after a few hours and rewarded herself with a much needed break and shower.

Once she was dressed and had put her dirty clothes in her new clothes hamper she took a look outside through her bedroom window. Sure enough she has been right, while in the shower she could have sworn she heard lightning, it was now pouring rain. The night sky was lit up at random intervals as the lightning streaked across the sky. God I love thunder and lightning she thought.

"Perfect! Good bye horrible heat from earlier today! Tomorrow will be nice and cool" She said with a smile. She hated the summer, the heat made her irritable. Winter was her favorite season it gave her a chance to wear sweaters and jackets, her ultimate comfort.

Kat made her way back into the living room as she ran her fingers through her wet shoulder length hair.

Hmm what to do she thought. I have my TV set up but I don't want to watch it. It was then that she remembered she had not yet set up her stereo. "Ah! How could I forget my wonderful music!" she said as she made her way back in to her room where her stereo system was just sitting on her bed. Luckily it was not hard to set up and she always enjoyed setting up her electronics. They were easy to understand for her and hated the idea of having to depend on someone else to help her with these small tasks. When she lived at home she wouldn't even let her Dad help her. Instead she would ask him if he needed her help.

After a few minutes her stereo was set up on her floor and Katheryne was sifting through her copious CDs. Music was something she absolutely loved. Her friends would make fun of her and tell her she probably owned every CD ever made by every band. Of course they were kidding and her CD collection looked large compared to the few CDs her friends owned. Kat only had 72 CDs a number she was always looking to add on too.

"Here we go!" she said as she found her current favorite. "The Black Keys to break in my new home!" She popped the CD in to her stereo system and turned the volume up as loud as it could go, the music could be heard throughout the house. "Perfect!" she smiled and started moving to the music. Kat was not a dancer; she was extremely self conscious and didn't really have rhythm. Well at least not in her body when it concerned dancing; however she was pretty good with her hands and was a pro at Rock Band drums.

She swiftly made her way half dancing to the kitchen. Food was on her mind now she hadn't had anything to eat since the morning before her friends arrived to help load her stuff into the small moving van.

Kat opened the fridge and found meager food supplies; she had only brought the essentials. Milk, eggs, her absolutely necessary drug of choice, Brisk Lemon Iced Tea and she had her cereal, bread, peanut butter and jelly, and a few cup of noodle soups in the kitchen cupboard. Well, I seriously need to go grocery shopping she mused. "Brisk and soup it is!"

She danced her way to the cupboard and took out her soup, fixed it up and popped it in the microwave for a few minutes. During this time she danced her way around the kitchen and living room belting out the lyrics to the song. She sang better than she danced, not that anyone would ever know. She kept her singing private, the shower and home alone dance offs like this one. She had totally forgotten about the soup at this point and just kept dancing and singing. She was only taken out of her dancing reverie when she heard a thundering boom from the front of the house. She quickly stopped her dancing and looked at the door.

"What the bloody hell was that?" she said as she made her way cautiously towards the door. She looked through the peephole on her door but it was too dark to see anything. She quickly flipped on the outdoor light switch and looked out the peephole again. All was quiet outside, not a disturbance to be seen.

Interesting she thought. Looks like this storm is taking a turn for the worst she mused. She turned and flipped off the outdoor light but then thought again. "Maybe I'll keep it on tonight." she said as she flipped the switch on again and made her way back to the kitchen. She grabbed her food and went to sit down at her little kitchen table. She quickly ate her food as she bobbed her head to the music and thought about everything else she had to do tomorrow, she mentally went through her list. Food is number one, and I need to stop by the school to make sure everything is ready for when the new school year starts. Then I go get some much needed furniture to adorn my practically empty house. She was going to have a busy day tomorrow. The school was going to have to be before the furniture shopping because they closed early. Kat was going to be an English teacher. High School to be exact, she had majored in English in college; it had always been a passion of hers. Reading and writing were her hobbies and she had decided to pursue it in college. It was now time for her to pass her love for the subject on to her future 11th grade students.

Once done with her dinner she made her way to the kitchen and washed her glass and spoon and threw out the styrofoam cup the soup came in. She made her way back into the living room and continued her dancing as she picked up some of the empty boxes she had left scattered around the room. She collected them all and placed them by the front door, she didn't want to forget to take them out the next day.

She turned around and looked at her little living room and kitchen and smiled. It felt good having her own place; she was going to enjoy her first night in her new place. She walked back through the hallway that led to her room and turned down the music.

Wow that was loud! Certainly didn't think it was this bad from the kitchen. I hope the neighbors don't complain. My first night in and I'm already causing a neighborhood disturbance! She laughed as she turned off her stereo. She fell into bed realizing how tired she really was, she had not really noticed with all of her excitement and happy dancing. She got comfortable in her bed and smiled to herself as she thought about how good life was going to be now that she had her own place and could live how she wanted to. Sleep came easily and she was out in seconds.
