She's the man


­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­

Chapter one: Polar Light.

What is a typical day? Well, a typical day consist of a calm and interested day without any problems or a reason to dictate one of Murphy's Law. But not in my household. Like a say, I like it very calm, enjoy the moment of live like anyone else, without too much chaos. I live in a two-story house together with my best friend Katrine, or Kate for short. My own name, you wonder? Alex and no, I'm not a boy. I'm a red haired, 24 years old, 5'2" tall and love to live like any normal person.

But that just the problem: nobody is perfect. Not even men. No siree. But anyway, back to my house. Like I said, I live in a beautiful house with an open kitchen, spacious living room and with a door to our garden where we hold out annual BBQ with friends. Upstairs, we have three bedrooms, a roomy bathroom and a storeroom to hide all our junk. Nobody else live in this house besides my friend Kate and we share both the rent. Besides still going to school, we needed to search for a part-time job to urn some money to pay the rent anyway.

My folks support me in all way possible, but like they say: I'm old enough to stand up for my own responsibility. But Kate helps me, and together we live here for already three years. We love to go out, pick a movie along the way or have a drink or two in out favourite bar. Yes, I like to drink but not too much. While having a drink we are rating the cuteness of every male that pass our table. Silly, I know. But we like it, especially when we are tipsy. But I don't need a man in my life because I don't like them very much. We are living in a man's world and we women need to stand up for ourselves. Otherwise you will not by seen by the male population. I know that there are some things we women can't do, but hey, we try our damn hardest. This is the 21st century people! Let's kick some women limbs in!

But the only reason why I don't like men very much is because there are slimy, liars, horny, backstabbers son of bitches with no taste. I haven't had many relationships before and if I did they ended very gruesome for me. I don't think there's any Knight on the white horse for me here in the world, despite my friend sayings. I like to watch them from afar rather then start one of these hopeless affairs. And I hate them even more so when they try to dump any of my friends. Especially Kate who I love like a sister.

And this is where I was standing, at the stairs looking up. But before I looked up again I hit my head against the wall… in frustration. Kate got dumped… again. That's way I can't stand guys. Backstabbers, they all are. So, my idea of hitting my head against the wall to express my feelings. The person in question was lying on her bed, in her room, crying like there was no tomorrow. I sighed.

"C'mon, Kate. Lighten up a bit!" I shouted from downstairs. "There are enough guys in the world who are much better then Greg! Believe me!" I thought I heard something moving from her room and I smiled. So she heard me. Then I heard something. "I don't speak mumble, Kate. Come on out and let have a cuppa." I removed myself from the stairs when I heard her door being opened. I walked into the kitchen, placed the tissues on the counter and moved to the boiler to make some nice hot water.

I put the hot water in the thermos and placed the dissolve cappuccino and sucker on the table besides the cups. I saw her walking in, eyes red while she grasped for the tissues and placed herself on a chair. I smiled while I prepared the coffee.

"I hate him." She said. "Next time I see him… I…"

"Beat the crap out of him, right. And I will help. Don't worry, Sis, he will think twice when he does something like this again." I told her, pushing her cup toward her. She took it with a smile. Then she looked up at me.

"When are you going to find someone?" she asked.

I must have looked very stupid, because she grinned like a baboon. We never talk about this, because I always reject any relationships even if she wanted to play match maker which I hated very much. But we needed a good laugh once in a while.

"Do you have a death wish, my dear?"

"No." she laughed. "But humour me. I need it."

I smiled. "There isn't anyone for me out there, Kate. I don't need a man."

She nodded. "You need to get laid. Sooner or later."

Did she just joked? I can't believe this. Get laid. I have no reason for that. Besides, if I want an orgasm, I can do it myself. I gave a glare and she grinned. The nerve of it.

"Anyway, I need to kick the crap out of something. Something that resembles Greg a lot." She said, cracking her knuckles. I laughed.

"Sure. Tonight, sis. But make sure you still have a punching bag when you're done."

"Don't worry. Maybe I will ask Steven if he wants a little one on one game. I know he can take the pressure."

"I just hope Steven has a good life insurance."

Every Saturday evening we have a Hapkido training. Don't know what it is? Well, let me tell you: it prides itself on effective self-defence and as such employs joint locks, pressure points, throws, kicks, and other strikes. Hapkido is an authentic Asian martial art of total self-defence, it deals with countering the techniques of other martial arts as well as common "unskilled" attacks. With me so far?

And that was where we first met each other, me and Kate. I have joined the club when I was six and Kate was there just a few weeks later. We were the youngest of the group and immediately created a strong bond of friendship. To add something to it, we went to the same primary school and high school.

Well, anyway. I have a 4th degree black belt by using a twin kodashis and Kate has a 3rd degree black belt by using a staff which she is very good at. But even if we have black belts we still go and blow some steam of at the dojo.

We laughed and talked at the table and everything about Greg has been forgotten, which I was glad about. I like protecting my friend. I love her in a sister way of love, of course. I maybe don't like men but I'm still straight. We drank up our coffee, put it in the sink en made ourselves ready to go shopping. We needed groceries for the next few days and maybe have a drink out two while we at it.

It was very fun to go shopping anyway. We went first to the super market to get our life rations and after that we decided to look around a bit in different shops. I tried some clothes while Kate looked at the jewelleries. I don't like jewelleries very munch, but I do wear a pentagram necklace for good protection. Talk about superstition. Why not. Everything that has to do with paranormal stuff, I'm in for it. Kate don't like it very much. She always told me that I'm some kind of psychic and that I can see ghost or something. But I don't know. Every time when it is Halloween I dress up like a vampire while Kate prefer the medieval damsel in distress costume. Don't asked me why.

Anyway, after a long day of shopping we went home to make some food and to prepare ourselves for out training which starts at eight o'clock. I was looking for my twin swords which were not in their cases. I frowned. Looked under my bed and frowned once again. I have the habit of forgetting things, and if you can't find them, then you won't.

"Kate, have you seen my swords!" I shouted from my room.

"Didn't you put them in the storeroom? Otherwise I don't know where you put them." She shouted back from her room. I blinked and smiled. I walked at the storeroom, pull the door open and the light on. And there they were. Right on top of the boxes. I was still wondering why I put them in there or how they got there. I shrugged, took them and put them back in their cases. I took my back and went downstairs.

Kate was waiting for me with her bag and together we went out of the house. I took the keys out and walked swiftly towards my favourite car; A Toyota Swift. My baby. I don't know why but I love it so much that I some times take rides without a destination in mind. Just to feel the power beneath me and to ride on. I opened the trunk door and put my back and cases down while Kate did the same.

"Alex, Look!"

I looked up at Kate, but she pointed towards the darkened sky. Except it was so dark. I don't know who to describe it. It was so beautiful. The sky had a purple tint which moved around a lot like water. Polar light. Like a rainbow during the day. It changed colour from purple to green and blue. It was beautiful.

"How is this possible?" She asked me. I shook my head. I couldn't give her an answer. Normally you could see the polar light far up in the north, but not so far inland. Suddenly I got a weird feeling. Chills that crept down my spine.

"Come. We need to go or we miss our training." I said, stepping in the car and activated the engines. I drove the car from the sidewalk and up we went. The polar light rendered us speechless. Kate was looking up constantly, but I had to fix my eyes on the road. After twenty minutes of driving, I drove on the parking lot and parked the car. We took our stuff and locked the car up. Before I went inside I took a last look at the sky and watched the beautiful phenomenon.

Our training went well. Kate actually asked Steven to work out with her and he agreed. It seems that he was in the same boat as Kate. I, at the other hand. Took it easy. The first hour, our sensei (master) took us some new tricks and fresh up our memories about certain techniques. Then the next hour we could choose our partner and duel. It was free style moment. I, of course, was the only one with twin swords, so muster my courage and asked the sensei to spar with me. And God, did he worked me out.

I will feel my muscles in the morning. Talking about overkill. I never really sparred with the sensei before, but Jesus, the man was a machine. I could see Kate laughing and grinning at me and I will never hear the end of it. But it was a good work out. During that time, everybody talked about the mysterious polar light. Even I put down my two cents, but mostly I kept my focus on the sparring.

After the training we hit the showers. While we were in the women's room, I and Kate talked about a lot of things. Sometimes even about hair, because we were currently drying it. My long red hair was a bonus. I don't know if I had Irish blood in me, but heck. I love my hair. Even people asked which dye I use to get this tint. It brings my eyes out as well. I had light green eyes, almost neon. Kate said that my eyes glows in the dark. But I don't really care about that. After our nice chat, we said farewell to our partners and sensei and moved back to our car.

It was ten thirty and the polar light shone still brightly in the sky. We took a moment to look at it again and enjoy the moment. This was once in a lifetime. We put back our stuff in the trunk and jumped in the car. I put on the engines and waited at Kate to strap herself in.

"Say, Alex. Let's drive to the hill and watch the Light from up their." She said, looking at me. I smiled.

"Sure, why not. Let's stop by the Night shop and get some drinks and snacks."

I drove away from the parking lot. Meanwhile, again we looked outside, well Kate mostly. I, fixed on the road again. When we arrived at the shop, Kate took it on herself to get some drinks and some snacks while I waited in the car. Now I had time to look at it. It was so amazing, that something like this even exist. Well, I does, at the north pole. I saw my friend returning and turn back the engines on. She put her bags on the floor while I drove away again. She put on the radio, but nothing was said on the news about this event. Then suddenly the Pussycat Dolls were blasting through our speakers and we sang along. Every woman like this song, 'I don't need a man'.

We laughed, sang and talked, until we hit the highway. I don't now what it was. But the feeling came back. It was like a tinkling sensation, like an itch. But you couldn't shake it of. It really worried me. While the music blasted through our speakers and Kate was singing along, I was thinking until it was to late.

Out of nowhere came a truck on high speed. I heard Kate screaming and I think I was screaming as well. I hit the brakes, but it was already too late. Our car slipped and crashed right into the racing truck, right into our flanks. It was then that I lost conscience and the last thing I remember was the light in the sky that shone upon us in its beautiful glory. I think I smiled.


Well, this was chapter number one. I'm still new at this. And it is my first real LOTR fic, so please if the characters will be OOC once and a while. I'm still learning it.

This story will be posted when I can. In about one week I have training period for 3 weeks and each day consist of 8 hours of working. If you wondering about what, read my bio. I will post the next chapter by tomorrow.

Cheerio until later with… starting revelations!!
