Disclaimer: nope! dont own nothin
"Gregor you need to get ready for school" Gregor's dad peeked in the room "hurry your already late" he motioned for Gregor to hurry up.
"k whatever" Gregor mumbled as he got dressed into his clothes for school. Gregor was still thinking about what Luxa wrote on the back of the picture. he was about to read it agin when his mom came in and shoved an egg sandwich in his hands. "what is that?" she snatched the picture out of his hand "oh are you still sad your girlfriend had to leave? I'm sorry but i don't want you to go back down there" she said as she handed the picture back to him, looking genuinely sorry "i cant loose you agin" she trudged out of the room. Gregor let go his breath, "she could've flipped over the picture and have seen the message!" gregor thought to himself.
After eating his sandwich, gregor grabbed his bag and ran out the door sprinting as fast as he could to school. He was thankful that he didn't have to walk with lizzie any more and boots stayed home sick because he was going to be late "dammit! he mumbled under his breath. if you were late to this particular high school the student got after school detention for "waisting learning time." but if the message wasnt a phony he wouldnt be here after school anyways.
by the time he got to school 1st period had started 10 minutes ago, Gregor wasnt to disappointed because he hated literacy. all you did in that class was read articles and write down your feeling about it. when he walked into the class Mr. Manson, a really old guy that has to squint threw his glasses to see properly, asked why he was late. he just ignored him and plopped down into his seat. "do you have a slip boy?" he asked. why did he call everyone boy or girl? thought gregor, maybe hes to old to remember names. "yes mr mason here" he said as he handed mr. mason the peice of paper the office gives the kids when they are late. all the paper has on it is the date and how many tardys the student has gotten. on gregors there was 7 tardies. "hmm" mr. mason said as he squinted at the slip of paper. probably diciding that he squinted at it long enough he set it on his desk and continued the lesson.
Gregor tuned out Mr. mason's words and turned to his friend Alexandra. Alexandra, but she prefers alex, is 14 like me with jet black hair and dazzling, bright blue eyes. she moved here 2 years ago from north carolina, and she was Gregors best friend. "why were you late?" she aksed "umm i didnt set my alarm last night" gregor said avoiding her eyes, he hated lying to her. she just stared at him alittle longer then went back to drawing in her note book.
the rest of the class was uneventful, no giant rats barging threw the door or large bats crashing threw the windows. finally the bell rang and gregor ran for the door. the next two classes. science and math, were the same as every day, gregor falling asleep and alex drawing in her notebook. larry and Angela didnt have the same classes as gregor and alex just home room together, not even lunch.
When lunch time rolled along gregor couldn't control his happiness when the bell rang gregor zooomed out of the room and to the cafeteria. "must be starving" said one of the lunch ladies as he was first in line panting. "yea somthing like that" gregor replied. the luch ladie just chuckled and gave gregor a tray with pizza on it. after choosing his veggies and friuts he went to go find a table. Gregor ate as fast as he could but still had 10 min. left, he waited impatiently for 12:15. he noticed Alex staring at him and smiling but he didnt know why. 12:07 he read on his watch deciding he couldnt take it much longer gregor read the note agin, trying hard to conceal it from other peoples eyes. it said:
Dear Gregor,
I knew your mother would fight me over the situation so i wrote this note in advance knowing i would need to leave it in a convenient location. We need you in Regelia, there is another prophecy speaking of a curse. I have sent a friend to come get you at 12:15 the day you get this note, she will find you so just stay were you are.
Love,
Luxa
Gregor didnt know who she would send, all of the underlanders didnt look like a normal person. just when he was about to give up on who she was going to send some one came up behind him and said "found you"
"Alex! what are you talking about?" Gregor asked. she couldnt be the one Luxa sent.
"im here to bring you back overlander" she whispered. Ok never mind she is the one,
"Are you an overlander?" gergor asked
"Ill explain on the way" she answerd as she motioned gregor to get up. he followed her out the doors.
"we are on our way, can you explain now?" gregor asked.
"yes, it will be long so just listen dont ask any questions"
"ok" gregor replied eager to hear the story
"im a hlflander, i know, i dont look it because im not pale, but ive gone to several tanning booths. any way, Luxa and i go way back when we were about 5, i was visiting with my father from the uncharted lands, were my clan lives. my father and i were in regelia to talk about the cutters, they were terrorizing the regelians and are people had ways of killing them. ofcourse me being a child i had to go to the nursery, luxa was there too and not happy about it. we played a couple of games like hide and seek. luxa and i were very competitive, always wanting to win aginst each other. that was when i first met her. at the age of 8 my father visited agin and this time i went to the training arena. i was very good with the sword, and so was Luxa. our trainer paired us up as partners and we dueled, i won, and Luxa was not happy. over the years we have grown closer and know we are best friends. she sent me to come get you because i was the only underlander that looked like an overlander. so i am the one to bring you back" she said. this was to much for gregor, his best friend was a halflander!
"here we are" alex said as they came upon a janitors closet.
"here?" gregor asked. to answer his question Luxa opened the door and took off the air vent in the corner to the right and Gregor saw the familiar white smoky stuff.
"no way!" Gregor gasped "an entrance in the school!?"
"yea come on we haven't much time" she urged him to the vent. Gregor happily obliged and crawled threw the vent into darkness.
While falling threw the air Gregor thought what the curse was. then an idea hit him, No! not the warmbloods curse!
"are you thinking about the curse?" alex asked from some were above him.
"yea, what is it" replied gregor.
"its not the warmbloods curse, it is called the cutters curse" said alex
"oh what does it do?" asked Gregor
"i-i dont want to talk about it" her voice sounded frightened so gregor didnt urge her for info. "ill let some one else tell you" she decided.
they were quiet the rest of the trip down. When Gregor and Alex landed they were in for a surprise.
"greetings, im T3346" came a voice out of the darkness.
"cutters!" alex growled as she drew a knife from the inside of her jacket. Gregor scurried behind alex because he was weaponless. Gregor sensed a single cutter, single? gregor thought, usually cutters travel in packs. Alex clicked her tongue, she can echolocate too? gregor thought.
"rats" she confirmed. Gregor clicked agin and also saw the rats. "we are dead" gregor said. alex pulled a flash light out of her pack and shined it in the direction of the rats. there were two, but they didnt look like rats usually do, their eyes were white, like the whole eye was pure white. and their veins bulged and were black against the rats light brown bodies. but the worst was their mouths, they foamed and there lips were purple, and their teeth were like fangs, no more two front teeth but saber tooth tiger fangs.
"W-what happened to them!" Gregor shrieked
alex swallowed "the cutters curse"
"attack them!" cried the cutter. the last thing Gregor remembered was two big, cursed rats running at him.
There, how do you like it, sorry it took so long. I'm really exited for this story, i hope you are too. sorry they are short, but oh well. and ill post next chapter soon. Bye for now!
