The bus with all the teams pulled up to the cabin in which they had to stay in to cope with one another for sometime. They also had to cope with the owner of the cabin and her four friends. When they stepped out they found out that the cabin wasn't a cabin at all but a mansion. Only a select few got close to the demolition boys as they stood in the cool breeze looking at the mansion in front of them. They also had to keep Mariah and Emily as far away from each other as possible since they weren't the closest of friends. "So this is where your friend lives." Robert said to Mr. Dickinson who smiled. "Yes but as I warned you she also has four friends that stay with her. One might get on your nerves. You might get on another one's nerves. Just don't piss off their short friend and you should be just fine." Mr. Dickinson said again since they got on the bus.
"Hello Mr. Dickinson, long time, no see." A platinum blonde hair girl said coming up. Her hair reached her shoulders and her blue/green eyes sparkled with happiness. She was white but had a light tan. Her clothes consisted of a black spaghetti strap tank top, blue cargos, and black boots. She was a good size height probably just a few inches shorter then Kai or Ray. She was skinny but not too skinny and her breasts were sort of small but not too small. All and all you'd probably consider her the normal looking American girl that you see on the streets of a city.
"Taylor, how have you been? I'm so glad you could house these young men and women on such a short notice." Mr. Dickinson said motioning to the group.
"Oh I don't mind. After all you are a friend of the family and my parents insisted that I help you out when they heard of your situation." Taylor said with a smile and led Mr. Dickinson and the others into the mansion. It was large and in the middle of the entranceway hanging from the ceiling a large probably really expensive chandler hung. Two staircases led up stairs to the second floor and all the wood seemed nicely polished. The walls seemed to match the color of the sea and there were to doors. There was one leading to a sitting room and another leading to a hall way to the rest of the house. Even the Majestics were in awe at how beautiful the placed looked. Their bags were in the main entranceway also and all in a category for their team. "If this is what she calls a cabin I'd hate to see what she calls a house." Kevin muttered to his teammates as they all looked around.
"If you don't mind me asking but what is your name?" Enrique asked partly wanting to know who owned the house and partly wanting to hit on her.
"I'll tell you my name when you tell me yours." She said smoothly as another girl walked by. She had dirty blonde curls that ended at her waist and blue eyes with a gold ring around them. She was dressed in a light blue tank top, a black short skirt, and black sandals. Her wiry body was tall and slightly tan and she had freckles on her cheeks. She too didn't have large breasts but then again she wasn't flat chested either. She was tall probably five eight maybe so she almost seemed like a giant compared to the other blonde. She stopped and looked at them before coming up to see whom they were.
"My name is Enrique." Enrique said hoping that their host would tell him her name.
"And my name is Oliver." Oliver said with a smile. "These are my friends Johnny and Robert." He said motioning to the other two.
"My name is Max. These are my friends Tyson, Kenny, Ray, and Kai." Max said introducing the Blade breakers.
"I am Tala. They are Ian, Brian, and Spencer." Tala said motioning to each one of his team members.
"Hello I'm Emily. They are my friends Eddy, Steven, and Michael." Emily said happily motioning to her teammates and secretly hoping these two girls would become her friends before they became Mariah's.
"I'm Lee; this is Kevin, Mariah, and Gary." Lee said motioning to the other members of his team.
"My name is Taylor. I'm the owner of this house and this is Natalie a friend of mine." Taylor said motioning to the taller girl. "By the way where are the others?"
"Rebecca is in the library, Samantha is in the gym practicing her dancing, and Melinda, I don't know where she got off to." Natalie said shaking her head.
"Knowing her she's probably up to no good." Taylor said with a small sigh then smiled at the group. "Well I'm sure you'll meet them sooner or later. There is no use trying to track them down right now. So why don't we get you some rooms." She said and Mr. Dickinson went to the sitting room with Natalie as Taylor took them all on a small tour however they didn't run into any of the other girls at all. When they picked out their rooms which where in the same hallway for some reason they tried to stay close to their teams and as far away from the Demolition boys as they could. The demolition boys however didn't really care and just picked rooms at the end of the hall. Next to the demolition boys were the Blade breakers, then the white tigers, followed by the Majestics and the All Stars got the rooms closest to the main hallway. They all went down to the sitting room to talk with Mr. Dickinson and weren't surprised to see Taylor, Natalie, and a girl they weren't introduced to before. She had boy cut brown hair and dark brown eyes. She wore a green t-shirt with a v-neck and blue jeans that seemed a little tight on her. Sneakers were on her feet and she unlike the other two seemed to be a bookworm. She had a book in her arm as she spoke with the others. You could also tell she wasn't looked at that much and was as tall as Taylor maybe a little taller. After introductions they found out her name was Rebecca and she was a bookworm. After a while of talking, Rebecca stood up and left to go cook supper.
"I don't really like Rebecca." Johnny said and Taylor smiled.
"There are few that do." A voice behind them said and they turned around to find yet another of the five girls they'd be staying with. Her honey brown hair went to her shoulder and she had light blue almost icy blue eyes. She too was tall as tall as Rebecca to be exact. She was dressed in a white short sleeve shirt that ended just above her belly button that was pierced, kaki cargo shorts, and sandals. She was thin but big boned and there were a few freckles on her checks but that was it. Her skin was a pale ivory white that had just a little touch of tan to it.
"And you are?" Kai asked looking her up and down again.
"I'm Samantha. You don't have to introduce yourselves I already know your names." She said a little offhandedly but with a warm smile. "I actually came down to see if you seen Shadow anywhere? That little demon said she was going to the store five hours ago. What did she do fall asleep there or something?"
"Well her bike is in the driveway so I'm sure she's not to far away from the garage." Natalie said and Samantha nodded her thank you and left.
"I think we should put a tracer on her so we know where she is at all times if this keeps up." Taylor muttered sarcastically to herself as she watched Samantha leave.
"Who's Shadow?" Ian asked having let his curiosity get the better of him.
"Oh it's just Melinda. She's called by many names most of which her cousins give her." Natalie said as the sound of someone shouting in the kitchen could be heard. "And there she is."
"In the kitchen stealing food as usual. How typical." Taylor said with a sigh rubbing her temples before standing up and walking off. They all followed her and when they got to the hallway to the kitchen they saw a girl sitting across legged on the other side of the hallway from the kitchen door. She looked to be in deep thought as she had her chin in her hand watching the kitchen door with a glazed look in her deep chestnut brown eyes. Her hair of golden browns, blacks, and chocolates was put into a braid that lay on the floor. She was dressed in a simple black t-shirt, baggy black cargo pocketed jeans, and black boots. Her dark tan skin was the color of a velvety milk chocolate and her body was slim. However on closer inspection they notice that she had some muscle. She seemed to look almost like a small child sitting there however her eyes seemed to shine with wisdom beyond her years. With a fast movement they soon found her brown eyes staring at them with an unnerving look that made some of the group fidget.
"I didn't do it." She said to Taylor who then glared at her and crossed her arms. "Seriously."
"That line has become so common it's more of an excuse now then a plead of innocence." Taylor informed her as she pouted slightly then stood up. She was short around five feet maybe a little taller but never the less she was short.
"So, my legally midget friend, what did you do this time?" Samantha asked having come up since the screaming she heard in the kitchen.
"Gee you just love to douse my morale don't you?" the girl who the others suspected to be Melinda said. "And for your information all I did was walk threw the kitchen. I don't see why she had to yell at me. It's not like I was going to get a snack or anything."
"Right." Samantha said in disbelief.
"Fine then don't believe me. You can go to hell for all I care." Melinda said then disappeared into the shadows. Later that night as they ate Melinda didn't show up and Rebecca seemed somewhat saddened by this.
"I shouldn't have yelled at her like that." Rebecca said to herself but Taylor caught it.
"Why is it you yelled at her?" Taylor asked since the others were wrapped up in their own conversations or eating.
"She was walking threw the kitchen so naturally I thought she was going to steal some food. I yelled at her and she yelled back at me that she wasn't coming to dinner. Well she is a woman of her words." Rebecca said looking at the spot her normally bubbly friend occupied. "Do you think she knows about the reputations of the bladers that sit at our table?"
"She does. I know she does yet she has just acted as normal as she could be." Taylor said as she looked at the people around the table. The Majestics ate as they were raised. Gary and Tyson seemed to know no end when it came to eating. While the others around the table had respectable table manners and didn't eat like they were starving to death. After dinner Tala was walking back to his room since they were aloud to roam around by themselves. He was just about to turn the corner when someone walking the opposite direction bumped into him, sending both of him and the other person to the floor.
"Oh. I'm sorry I wasn't watching where I was going." The person said and he noticed it was none other then Melinda. She stood up and extended her hand, which he quickly brushed away and stood on his own.
"I don't need help." He said coldly to her and she just smiled but she too had a cold exterior he could sense.
"Then the next time I won't offer it." She said happily and walked off surprising Tala. He had never in countered someone like her before. She was different from any other person he met at the abbey. The others would just try to help the next time but she didn't even say she'd help him. Furthermore from the conversation he heard from Taylor and Rebecca at the table she was a person of her word.
"She is puzzling don't you agree?" Tyson asked having seen what had just happened. "She didn't even allow your coldness faze her. She just goes on being happy."
"She's like two different people, a young child and an old woman." Tala muttered before the two went their separate ways. However neither of them went the way Melinda had gone but if they had they would have found her standing against the wall with a sly smirk on her face. She was known as the Shadow Demon because of her way of finding out things almost as if she were your shadow following you around. She did however have split personalities and they were close to what Tala had said. On one side she was happy, innocent, and childish but on the other she was mysterious, apathetic, and somewhat malevolent. However she may act both of her egos shared two things in common. They were both cunning and fast talking almost hard to defeat in an argument. She went up the flight of stairs unseen by anyone and went down the west corridor her corridor to her room where she locked herself in away from the world. She looked around the dark pine, black and red decorated room till her eyes landed on a mirror that was full length and she went up to it seeing herself.
"Don't do it." She said in a scared tone that sounded so innocent. "Don't harm them." She said then her face went dark and mischievous. "No." She said to her reflection. "Why not? They could earn our trust. They are strong and could be a great ally in the future. All we have to do is earn their trust." The shy scared voice said. "Well you're right they would make a strong ally in the future but then again. We don't know them." The mischievous one said. "Then we can get to know them." The shy one said who now talked from the reflection in the mirror as the mischievous one talked from Melinda's body. "Fine I won't harm them for now." Melinda said and went to her window looking out at the night sky from the balcony she stood on. She sat out there for a little while then went in only to go back out with an easel, canvass, and some pants. She then began to paint the night sky above a moonlit lake that was in a forest. Beyond the lake and forest was a mountain that rose high above the ground and seemed to nearly touch the moon.
