The morning brings Amaranth waking up and after blinking an few times she realizes and remembers why she is in the other room she looks over to see Cobalt staring at her with a bit of a questioning look as to why she was in his bed. "You were dreaming last night about what happened." he looks away looking a little embarrassed. "What are we doing today?" he asks "We have school I'm gonna bring you to school and get you registered for classes we will be in most of the same classes but a few will be separate." "What do we tell them about how we know each other?" "Uh we can stick with siblings or go with childhood friends, might be better less explaining as to why I never said anything about you not that I really say much about my past anyways."
"Childhood friends it is. But why don't you talk about your past with your friends?" "Tell them I was raised in the forest by beings that were supposedly myth and legend they would just think I'm lied to them. Don't get me wrong you and your family are my family and I love you for taking care of me but the story of our life would get me thrown into a loonie bin." he thinks a but and says "Fair point."
They get to school early so she can get everything taken care of so he can start school today. Once they finished with all the paper work and such first class was half hour away so they sat in the library he was a little dumbfounded cause he had never seen so many books in one place. They were talking he had his hood up when someone came from behind and called Amaranth and they ran over he bolted and hid, her friend saw him run he didn't go far still in ear shot but out of sight.
"Hey Amaranth Where did you go yesterday and who were you talking to just now?" "You will find out in first class who that was. As for where I went you may get the answer one day but I'm not sure when." "What you don't trust me?" "Emmy its not that I don't trust you you are one of 2 people I trust. But the other person I trust will have to give their okay for me to tell you cause they tie directly into the whole thing." "Okay...but I want to know soon I'm your best friend but I don't really know anything about your past."
Just as this 'Emmy' person was leaving he was thinking of going back, but then Emmy was approached by a group of people, by the way they was they stood he could tell that this wasn't good. Having really good hearing he slowing got closer to the group while listening to the conversation. "Hey there hot stuff we should go somewhere to have some fun." a guy said with lust in his eyes. "Rick I would never go anywhere with you ever." she spat back. "Why you gotta be like that, that is rude I'm the best looking guy in this school." "Ya sure if you call being shit out your friend there good looking." needless to say the teen took offense to that and brought back his arm to punch her.
Emmy cowers back. Amaranth gets up to try and help but she is too far away. So Cobalt being who he is jumps in just before the punch lands takes the hit right in the chest and doesn't show a reaction the guy named Rick has a satisfying shocked look on his face his fist still against Cobalt he grabs the arm not saying a word and kicks the boy a good 4 feet back he would have gone farther if it wasn't for a wall being there. he then turns making sure the hood is down so this girl can't see his face and points to Amaranth then makes a shoo motion he turns thinking he is gonna fight more but the boy he kicked is unconscious and the others had fled. 'How...disappointing' he thinks shaking his head.
He runs down the hall first to the classroom Amaranth and her friend not far behind "Is he gonna be alright?" she asks when she catches up eh just nods his head "You don't know her why did you help her?" he pulls his hood hood up a bit so they can see his face and eyes and stares at Amaranth for a bit then she just says "Okay fair point." Emmy looked confused and says "He didn't say anything." Amaranth smiles slightly "Earlier I told you I only trusted 2 people and you are one and well.. he is the other I've known him for most of my life so I don't really need to him to talk to know what he is gonna say for instance in regards to the question I asked he would have said 'Ya I didn't know her but she is your friend and I protect anything that cannot protect itself.' He is nice like that." Emmy looks at him and approaches him then holds her hand out "You can call me Emmy but my full name is Elmindreda Black-" she notices he stiffened up and pulls his hand away as he looks at Amaranth "Oh shit I didn't even think bout that um yes she is the daughter who you're thinking of but she is nothing like her parents." He stares at Amaranth for a second "I trust her with my life." He then shifts his stare to her and she notices for the first time his eyes are purple and they are quite piercing like they can see into your soul and read your mind.
He stares into her eyes for a full minute before relaxing and gives a nod. Emmy looks at Amaranth and asks "Okay what was that about? Why did he act like that from my name?" "I'm sorry but at the moment we can't tell you, but he will be observing you for the next little while to see if he can trust you, try to bare with it part of the reason he is giving you a chance is because your first name is like one from his favorite book series, the other part is I trust you which is why he isn't running away right now."
