Le chapter 4 yes? ;)
"Hey," I asked a Joe walk past me "do you know where Scarlett's room is?" I asked as the girl nodded.
"Down this hall take a left and it should be on the right side with her name on the door" she said smiling at me as I nodded jogging to where she had pointed me.
Scarlett did say that if I ever needed someone to talk to her door was open. Well time came and I needed to talk to someone. That mini panic attack was it. If I kept bottling it up a serious panic attack would explode. Storm was out since we had to keep it to only reports on things new then my dumb problems. As much as I denied it before it was nice knowing I might actually have a friend that is a girl. Letting out a breath I stood in front of Scarlett's room biting my bottom lip feeling myself get nervous.
"Maybe this is a bad move," I mumbled already knocking on the door before taking a step back getting ready to leave.
"Night?" Scarlett said standing in front of me drying her hair with a towel. "Need something," she asked as I let out a breath.
"Is your door open for some one to one talking," I said scratching my head "about a few things…people…Snake Eyes" I said smiling at her weakly as she let out a breath motioning me in. Smiling at her grateful I walked in with my head down rubbing my hands together.
"What's wrong?" she asked as I looked up finding myself looking at the eyes of a grey wolf growling softly at me.
"Umm," I said pointing at the wolf on her bed.
"He's name is Timber" she said walking over to her TV "he's Snake Eyes" she said as I nodded sitting in front of him as he growled at me louder.
"Timber," I said softly as his growl turned back to soft "Timber," I said again as he laid his head on his paws letting out a whine "Timber," I said as he barked happily licking my face.
"Wow," Scarlett said as I scratched Timber behind his ear as he wagged his tail happily "he never gets this close to people that fast" she said as I smiled at Timber earning a small bark from him "the only ones are me and Snake Eyes" she said as she sat on the bed next to Timber as he laid his head on her lap.
"I used to do that to Snake when he was upset," I said letting out a sigh "I thought since he was Snake's Timber might of caught some things from him" I said shrugging "guess I was right."
"What happened between you two?" she said as I continued to pet Timber's fur as he feel asleep from it.
"I used to know him when we were younger," I said softly "when he was around 11 and I was barely going to turn 10. We used to be the best of friends when we trained at the temple. At that time he talked not a lot but he did." I said as I laid down on her floor. "Then this major thing happened around a year after his arrival and we got in to this huge argument the day after. We yelled at each other to the point that I got so angry I slapped him" I said placing my arms over my eyes.
"What was the argument about?" she said as I let out a sigh.
"It's not something I want to say at the moment but it was saying whether someone close to us was guilty or not. I said he wasn't while Snake thought he was," I said feeling a small tug at my heart "I left the night we had are argument and I never returned back to the temple where he was. It's been around 12 years now that I've seen him. A lot has changed" I said letting out a small chuckle "with both of us actually and,"
"You're not sure what you feel seeing him after so long" she said as I let out a groan quickly sitting up.
"I feel sad, angry, happy and relieved. Sad because of that small fight we had this morning, angry because it was about the same thing from 12 years ago and happy because I finally saw him after 12 long years without knowing a single thing. Relieved he's doing great with his life" I said running a frustrated hand through my hair.
"My advice would be to let go of whatever the argument was," said as I shut my eyes tightly "it's been 12 years and you're still holding that anger towards him. Both of you starting together officially have to let that go between both of you and work together because you're both going to be seeing a lot of each other" she said as I nodded in agreement.
"Thanks Red" I said smiling at her just as Timber woke up siting down next to me waging his tail happily.
"I think he might want to go with Snake," she said smirking at me, as I looked at her in fake shock.
"Little evil genius," I standing up as she chuckled "I'll see you later then Red" I said walking towards the door. "Let's go Timber," I said as the wolf quickly walked to my side.
"He's probably in the dojo!" Scarlett yelled just as the door closed.
"Let's get you pick to Snake, Timber," I said as we head towards the dojo.
Timber let out a quick bark signally that he already smelled his master. Smiling at him I quickly told him to be quiet as I opened the door seeing Snake Eyes was sitting in the middle of the mat meditating. Counting to three I quickly motioned Timber to jump Snake as he only sat next to him barking happily. Pouting I walked inside as Snake looked up to me.
"Hey" I said quietly as he nodded in response. Timber poked his hand with his nose telling him he wanted him to pet him as I sat in front of him while he pat his head.
"Scarlett told me Timber is yours," I said as he nodded "never thought you would get yourself a wolf as I pet" I said scratching the back of my head feeling awkward. "But you are a big guy" I said as he looked over at me feeling myself get nervous. "Really big" I said looking around trying to avoid his gaze as I still felt him looking at me.
Letting out a yawn Timber walked over towards him lying down as he nudges my hand asking me to pet him. Smiling softly at him I started running my finger through his hair.
He seems to really like you. He only lets me and Scarlett pet him.
Nodding I continued to pet Timber seeing as it calmed me down slightly.
"He didn't at first," I admitted as he looked at Timber then at me as I let out a small chuckle "he growled at me actually but I called his name at him like I did with you when you would get mad, sad or frustrated and closed your self. He calmed down and let me pet him," I said as I looked up at him. "I thought since he was yours I might as well give it a shot."
I remember I would always sit by the pond and you would lay you are head on my shoulder until I told you what was wrong.
"Yeah, it was always about Storm beating you and not knowing what to do about him hating you" I said as I felt his gloved hand brush my bangs out of my eyes. "T-Thanks" I stuttered out feeling my heart start to race. "I actually wanted to talk to you" I told him "about us and that I'm you're team member now. I'm a Joe. I made it to the top 5 percentile of people tested"
Congratulations.
"Thanks and well I'm also in the alpha team" I said biting my lip. "So we're actual team members," I said, " so if you want to say anything to me that you've been needing to say anything at all you can tell me now but sign slowly alright?" I told him as Timber quickly curled in a ball next to me.
I'm happy to see you again Eloisa. I really am. I missed you ever since you left the temple. I tried to go after you because I thought you left because of me. I missed my best friend every day. I kept hoping you would come back to me and stay. It was until I turned 16 when I finally realized you would not come back at all. So I left the temple as soon as I turned 18 to see what I could find. I wanted to get stronger. I wanted to prove to you that I could be stronger. We both made a promise to each other that we would be there for each other no matter what. We would help each other up when we were down. That we would never leave each other and I broke it. You were hurt more then I was when Storm left. You needed me but I kept pushing you away angry with him when our master was killed. Storm left and I left you alone also. I am sorry for hurting you and leaving you alone in this.
"Snake," I whispered feeling tears slowly roll down my face as he quickly reached over brushing away the tears as I felt a lump form in my throat as he slowly ran his thumb over my bottom lip leaning his forehead on mines as my breathing started to get uneven. "I-I think," I said quickly standing up waking Timber up as Snake quickly stood up also grabbing my hand as I felt the room start to spin. Tugging my hand gently I quickly snatched it away looking at him shocked before taking off running to my room.
Timber let out a whine as Snake Eyes kept his gaze at the door Night Shadow had ran through. Maybe telling her all that was too much for her. Growling Snake Eyes sat back down feeling annoyed at himself. Twelve years had past since he had seen her and he just sent her running for the hills in less then a minute. Sighing he looked over at Timber hearing him whimper softly. He grew close to her so fast and honestly it didn't surprise him at all. She changed a considerable amount since he last saw her. She grew from the little naïve girl to this strong, feisty, independent woman. She was still as caring as he remembered her earing Timber's trust so fast. She was undeniably a true beauty. Dark brown hair, big dark brown eyes, curves in the right places from all her training. Snake Eyes has seen many beautiful women including Scarlett and Lady J but in all honesty Night Shadow would catch any males eye. Sighing he gave Timber a quick scratch behind his ear as he settled himself down for mediating.
"Snake Eyes" a girl whined as the boy on top of her grinned "I will punch you in the face is you don't get off of me" She groaned wiggling around trying to get the grip on her wrists loosen as it only tightened slightly but not enough to hurt her.
"You know you won't punch me" the young Snake Eyes said moving his face closer to her as he felt his heart rate increase smelling the soft vanilla mixed with flowers infiltrate his nose "you love me to much" he said grinning as she scoffed at him.
"Don't flatter yourself Snake," she said as he pouted at her.
"Mean," he said as she giggled moving her face closer so that there noses brushed each other as caught his breath making him loosen his grip as the girl smirked. In a quick flash Snake Eyes had his face planted on the floor with the girl straddling his back laughing.
"Night," he groaned as the girl quickly stood up offering him a hand as he glared at her playfully before taking her hand and pulling himself up "you're no fun" he mumbled as Night giggled quickly kissing him on the cheek.
"No just smarter" she said laughing as she headed out her room "let's go or we'll miss breakfast" she said unaware of the red faced Snake Eyes touching the cheek she had given him a kiss on. "Snake!" she yelled as the boy quickly snapped out of the trance running after her almost tripping on the way earning a giggle from the girl.
"You're no fun Night Shadow," he said as the girl grinned while he smiled at her softly looking down at her. He at that moment took an oath seeing her run towards there master giving him a tight hug.
He was going to get stronger for her and him. He was going to get better and show Storm he was no weakling. He was going to protect her no matter what. Even if it meant his life would end just to keep her alive and safe. She was Storm Shadows and his most treasured possession.
She was his best friend.
His first crush.
Decided to give you guys a bit of fluff from the past with Snake Eyes and my character Night Shadow! So I don't know if you guys are confused about her loyalty but that was what I was hoping for. My thoughts for this story are still fresh and not 100% accurate so I'll be moving the story with her around. Saying her loyalty is with Storm and then with Snake and the Joe's. Realize that right now being a double solider got harder since her long lost friend just appeared and the fact the her two old students, Duke & Rip, are there also there. It would be confused on what to go for. SO just have patience with me please?
Anyways just a fair warning it will take a while to upload these chapters since I have no Internet with me. And the only places I can upload are school and when I go do laundry. I'm going with the two G.I Joe movies that have Channing Tatum.
