As the day reached its end, Lincoln approached his home, holding tightly the card in his hand. The words of that enigmatic boy still rang in his head. As he entered the house, he quickly went to his room doing his best to avoid any of his sisters.
With a stealth that would have made Lucy proud, he entered his room and locked the door tightly. He then lied in his bed as he replayed in his mind the events that happened just a few hours ago.
"You got talent for this boy, don't waste it" Lincoln remembered the boy say as he finally he started reading the card Alpha had given to him. With all the excitement and adrenaline, he had forgotten about it until now.
In the front of card lied the drawing of a wolf head, its jaws wide open, as if the beast was ready to mow down its prey. Underneath it, letters of a dark deep blue that contrasted highly with the light silver of the background formed the words "The wolves".
"Well his name makes more of sense now" Lincoln said thinking of Alpha, as he flipped the card to read the backside.
On the back the same deep blue letters formed the address he needed to go if he accept the offer. Just beneath it, he could read the words: "We wolves be happy if you join us." Lincoln chuckle a bit at the wolf pun, he would definitely ask Luan for some.
He pick his precious BunBun and looked him straight into his small bunny eyes.
"Could It be true, can I really be as good as Alpha thought of me, BunBun?" Lincoln asked his stuff friend "I mean, me? Being part of an actual team? What a joke."
"What did you say, BunBun? That maybe I should accept the invitation?"
"But Lynn said that I am still not good enough to play with a team" Lincoln said as he stared at his bunny waiting for him to give him a good reason to accept the offer.
"You are right." Lincoln said "I have been training with Lynn for a long time and it has clearly paid off if someone as good as Alpha managed to notice me, but maybe I will ask Lynn first for her opinion"
The rabbit simply stared at him.
"Oh shut up, I just want her advice and nothing else." With that said he jumped out of his bed and went straight to Lynn/Lucy´s room. As he approached the door an uneasy feeling started forming in his belly. Doubt started filling his head, he was about to bail out when:
"Lynn is not there" a gloom voice said, making Lincoln jump from the surprise
"Lucy! When did you get here? And where is Lynn?" Lincoln ask failing to hide his surprised
"You have been staring at the door for five minutes" Lucy deadpan in her monotonous tone. "Also, Lynn is downstairs watching the game"
"Oh, right, thanks Lucy" Lincoln said as he head down the stairs.
Just as Lucy said, Lynn was in the living room watching the game. Lincoln approach her with caution knowing she hated being interrupted during a game, a knowledge he and his sisters learned the hard way.
"Hi Lynn" Lincoln said to break the ice
"What do want?" Lynn answered eyes focused on the TV screen.
"Well I met some kids at park today and something really funny happen. You see, Clyde and me where Bla Bla Bla bla Bla BLa BLa BLa and I then I start running and BLa bla BLa….." Was all that Lynn could hear, she clearly was not paying attention and was getting annoyed that her TV time was getting interrupted.
""Lincoln! Finish your story in 5 words or less unless you want me to practice my judo move on you." Lynn threatened.
"Uh, They want me in their team" Lincoln said hoping his sister didn't count the words. He really like his back the way it is, thank you very much.
Lynn narrowed her eyes at her brother before she raised her hand and started muttering "one,two three..." while moving her fingers "Aha, six words!" Lynn exclaimed before slightly punching her brother in the shoulder
"Ouch" was all Lincoln said
"Is that all?" Lynn asked
"Yes"
"Well, I will be practicing with my team now that the tournament is close by. So I won't be needing your help anymore. Have fun playing with you little friends." Lynn said before focusing back on the game. Not wanting to test his luck again Lincoln simply stand up and left to his room. The answer was so clear in his mind.
