Ama-chan13Thank you for being my first reviewer. The pairings are Kel & Dom, Alanna & George, Yuki & Neal, etc.
This chapter took me 2 days to put up, but I am very busy with a lot of things coming up, so my updates might be a little varied.
Enjoy!!!
One other thing I saw was that I was not alone.
The other girl sat across the room from the mirror. She had dark brown hair, which was straight, and looked a bit limp, like she had been in the sea at some point a few hours ago. Her eyes were closed, but I was sure that they were not the shade of my eyes, a light blue that looked like fluffy cotton that made most people want to stick there fingers in it and let it sink through them. As I stared, I realized that the bottom half or her body was not there yet, and as I watched, it seemed to materialize right in front of me. As soon as she was fully there, she opened her eyes. A shocked look crossed her face, and she sat dumb folded for a minute longer before I broke the tension.
"Hi, I am Shandra, and that cat over there is named Faithful." I said shyly.
Her hands flew out and started moving in rhythmic patterns, but I had no idea what she was trying to say.
"She says she can't talk, and wants to know how in the world she got here from her pool in Montana." The cat Faithful said.
"O, well, I have no idea how you got here," but then I stopped. Her eyes were the color of coal, as black and solemn looking as night, as mysterious as… I realized I was staring.
Her hands flew again, but slower, as if she meant for me to learn what she was saying the second time she did it!
"She says that she is not really sure either, and asks why three heads are floating in mid-air in the other corner of the room." Once again I turned towards the other side of the room, to see three heads popping up in the corner. They were as different as snow and heat. One, a girl too, had light gold, almost white, hair that was so curly it looked like ringlets. She had a small nose, and one of her eyes was an interesting shade of purple.
Another, this time a boy, had short brown hair and a stubborn chin. Once his clothes came into focus, Shandra could tell that they were little more than rags. The last one was, to Shandra's horror, little more than a baby, and even though everyone else looked around six, the baby was no more than one. She turned back to the other girl slowly; who had obviously been talking to Faithful with her hands, for now the cat was talking.
"She says she would like to talk to one of the others and see if they know anything. And she also wants you to tell her why a cat is talking."
"Later, right now get up and look at yourself in the mirror." I said. She obeyed without question, something I was interested about, but then I turned to the new people, the only one that had fully come in yet was the baby, which I picked up and held. Once the others came in, I relayed what I knew to them, and found the girls eyes to be a clear dark green. She was shy, and sad little of her past, but now that she was fully there, I could see her body was riddled with bruises. The boy, on the other hand, was so full of chatter I barley got to speak. He told me he lived in India, and I told him to shut it. As soon as everyone was filled in on the story, the cat told us to sit in a circle around it. The new kids jumped when it talked but did as they were bid.
"Now, I am sure all of you want to know the truth to you being here." Everyone nodded there heads, but the baby who had fallen asleep. "Well, Tortall is country bordered with other countries who would like nothing better than to squish it. You five, even the baby, were picked for a reason. The war with Scanra, a neighboring country, is finished, but that does not mean that the other countries will not try to attack to Tortall. You are being put there to help." With that, he got up and walked away.
