Alright-y! Chapter 1, Eevee Transformed: Book 1: Morphed!
Eve danced around the small glade, her brown dress twirling around her. She and her friends were on an island called Mystiker, and their parents allowed them to go into the forest at any time during the day.
Eve stopped and panted, combing her fingers through her bouncy brown hair. A blonde short haired girl leant against a tree, her brown eyes staring vaguely at nothing.
'Jackie! Snap out of it!' A deep red haired girl swept over to Jackie, clicking her fingers in front of the fifteen year-old's face.
'Get lost Phoebe!' Jackie grumbled, flipping around so that she leaned her shoulder against the tree – her back towards the red-head. Phoebe winked at Eve, and skipped away, her flame patterned dress flipping in the wind.
Bree, a black haired girl sat in a tree, watching the grumpy teenager with amusement.
'What's up, Jackie?' she called, throwing a black leather jacket onto the ground far below her to reveal black t-shirt covered in hollow yellow ovals.
'Shut up,' Jackie snapped.
'Oh, get over it Jackie!' A silver haired female swept through the trees, her short pale blue dress flitting about behind her. 'He wasn't your type anyway!'
'Shut. Up.'
'Now, now, Jacqueline Zappe! Language!' The silver haired girl shook her head mockingly.
Jackie groaned.
'I think you're annoying her, Riana.' A short girl with pink-blonde hair raised her head from her kneeling position.
'Ya think?' Bree rolled her eyes, and jumped down from the branch she was seated on. Giving Jackie a hard kick, causing the teenager to yelp and scramble to her feet, she walked over and leant on the pink girl's shoulder. 'Well, Elsie?'
Elsie shook her head, laughing. Jackie stalked over to Bree, and punched her shoulder.
'Gees, Jack! Is that all you can do?' Bree grinned and jumped backwards as Jackie went to punch her again, aiming a counter-attack as she leapt. Laughing erupted from two girls whom were watching the "battle" intently as Jackie tried to kick the black haired girl and missed, falling backwards.
'Shut it, Gracie,' Jackie growled at the smaller of the two. The white haired teen shook her head and burst out in laughter again. 'Leah, control your friend!'
'She's your friend too!' A light brown haired girl was seated next to Gracie. Her bright green dress flittered as she stood, giving her companion a nudge with her leather-enclosed foot.
'Oh! What's –,' Leah looked, puzzled, into the darkness of the old trees. 'Come on Gracie! We'll follow it!' They raced into the murky wood.
'Leah! Gracie! Come back!' Elsie called worriedly into the silent depths of the forest.
Jackie stared scared into the shadows. 'Anything could get them out there – they aren't on the trail!' she motioned to a small, lit up road that winded through the forest.
Eve spoke up for the first time; 'Oh dear – what will our mother say?'
'We'll have to get them before your mum finds out, won't we?' Phoebe said firmly. 'Come on!'
With that, she raced into the trees, stopping every now and then to allow the others to catch up to her. Eve sprinted along beside Elsie, who was leaping over tree roots like a professional hurdler. Bree was running with Jackie, hostility forgotten as they raced to help their friend. Riana jogged by herself, her long legs gaining more and more ground on Phoebe.
The girls stooped, weaved and jumped throughout the exhausting sprint through the trees. Green and silver flickered faintly in front of them as they caught up to the youngest members of their group. Eve almost crashed into Leah when the tanned girl skidded to a halt.
'Leah! Grace! Don't ever – ever – do that again!' Riana scolded. Leah and Gracie exchanged exasperated glances.
'We were following the thing!' Leah explained, her green eyes looking up at them, giving the older girls a 'well-isn't-it-obvious?' look.
'What thing?' Elsie asked slowly, her eyes travelling from side to side. Leah rolled her eyes.
'It was about this big,' she said, indicating with her hands a size about two feet wide and one foot tall, 'It was black and yellow... And it looked sorta like a cat... it had these pointy ears... and it had a necklace of topaz's... It was really cute!'
'I saw it too! And behind it was other ones – I could only see their shapes though... there were about eight others,' Gracie added. The older girls looked at each other disbelievingly.
'Which way did it go?' Eve asked, her heart pounding. Even though the others didn't believe the younger two, she thought it might be possible – even if it were only a rabbit with markings that was being chased by a few cats... Either way, Eve wanted to find out. Gracie's face lit up, and Leah's eyes sparkled enthusiastically.
'C'mon!' they said, pulling on Eve's arms excitedly. 'We'll show you!' Jackie raised an eyebrow at Eve, and nudged Bree, whispering something in the jet-head's ear. Riana rolled her eyes at the pair and joined Eve. Elsie cast an annoying glance at the two teenagers beside her and jabbed Jackie in the ribs before proceeding to join the exploration team. Slowly and uncertainly the other girls murmured their acceptance and stood with Gracie and Leah.
Bree grumbled something to Jackie. All Eve heard was 'Bugger off Jackie! I'm having some real fun for once!' and she stalked over to the brunette's side. Now Jackie stood alone, defiantly opposing them.
'Jackie, come on! We go with or without you – make your choice, now or never,' Bree pleaded. 'It'll be fun!' Jackie shuffled her feet, and looked at the ground. 'Please?' Jackie looked up, and sighed heavily.
'You know what our parents will say if we run off! What if we get lost? Or hurt? Or-or- or killed!' Jackie stuttered. Bree exhaled dramatically.
'Wow. You're starting to sound like Riana!' she exclaimed. Riana looked at her indignantly.
'Guys! We need to go – now! Or we'll never find them!' Leah and Gracie shouted in unison.
'Well? Are you coming Jackie?' Bree held out her hand, beckoning for the blonde to come. Jackie shuddered, and grasped the hand, hauling her body toward them.
'I'm in,' she breathed. Leah and Gracie rolled their eyes at each other.
'Can we just get moving?' They ran again into the trees, but this time they had the gang right behind them. Eve and the other girls followed the two adolescent teens for around an hour, stopping only when need be. They progressed efficiently, and soon found themselves in an empty clearing. Well, almost empty. In the centre was a tiny gap in between the worlds. A tiny spot in the space where no time flowed and no human lived. Limbo. And standing around the tiny expanse were eight feline like creatures, all muttering in some strange language.
SO sorry everyone! I've had internet issues! I'll try to get the next chap up as soon as possible! I think this might b a little rushed... tell me if it makes sense or not :)
