I stand outside Voda's Mansion, this time not at the front but at the back looking up at Voda's window. Lowe is walking back and forth, impatient as always. "What's taking so long!?"
"Shut up." I lean on the side of house.
"What if she chickened out?"
"Voda doesn't go back on her words. I'm sure she's coming." I look at Voda's room window. I've only been up there once, about a month ago.
I was still a torchic at the time. Same hair style but my hair was orange, no different from many other torchics. It was Voda's birthday, and me, Lowe, Wyat and Quen were all invited. After dining on food and cake we all went upstairs to open presents.
"Alright Voda, open mine first!" Lowe slides his present towards her.
She nods happily and gently opens it revealing an odd-shaped, blue face cut, stone.
Lowe grinds, "It's a waterstone! Now you can evolve into a Dewott!"
A boy with yellow-orange hair, with fox ears protruding from it facepalms. "Lowe this is what happens when you don't pay attention in class."
"The fennikin's right, oshawotts evolve by level up not waterstone." I say.
The red fur in the fennikin's ears light up. "For the last time, you fucking over grown chicken, I have a name!"
"Wyat…" Voda tries to voice in.
"No, this asshole been calling me fennikin since I transferred!"
"That's because your names not worth remembering." I smirk
A small ember leaves his nose and he springs to his feet. "Fuck you, you're only upset because when I moved here someone finally bet your test scores!"
He's right, I was upset. I'd been top of my class in science till he moved here. Honestly it pissed me off but I couldn't let my friends know that, and I sure as hell didn't want Wyat to think that.
I get to my feet. "You're starting to test me!"
"You started this shit!"
My nails start glowing white prepared to attack and Wyat's do the same.
"Scratch!" We yell in unison and we launch at each other! My attack collide with his cheek as his strike my side both drawing blood.
"Guys!" Lowe and Voda spring at us trying to separate us but we shake then off and continue swinging. My sister's training helped me here. I was able to see the path of Wyat's moves and dodge accordingly but it seems he could do the same as well.
Then suddenly, what feels like a thousand stings hits me and Wyats body and we fall back.
I focus my eyes and see the attack came from Quen, a shinx. His body is cloaked in small bits of blue electricity. We were hit by his infamous thundershock. "Stop." The only words that comes from his mouth.
Wyat huffs and gets to his feet. "Fine." He looks at me. "Next time I see you our fight will be one-sided." With that he opens the door and slams it behind him. That was the last time I saw Wyat. Me and him fight over everything, but we promised to behave for Voda's day, and we broke that promise, which really hurt Voda. She wouldn't talk to be for a week after that till I finally convinced her to forgive me. I asked if Wyat apologized too but she told me he sent a letter apologizing but also telling he was going on his journey alongside with Quen.
"Dude!" A squawky voice rings in my head bringing me out my thoughts. It's Lowe. "She's coming down." My eyes center back on the window seeing Voda in a crouched position on her opened window.
"Wait, wait, wait." I wave my hands. "Don't jump Voda."
She quickly grabs the sides of the window frame to keep her balance.
I look at Lowe. He returns my glare. "What?"
"Fly her down moron."
"Oh right!"
Lowe's wings flap hastily allowing him the sail into the air and quickly reach Voda's window. Voda creeps out and enters Lowe's arms and sail back to the ground.
Voda climbs out his arms. "We should get going, Truman-"
"Just found you." Says a polite voice speaks.
The three of use turn to see the Levanny with his signature move prepared, a glowing green blade coming from his knuckles, Leaf Blade.
"Shit." Lowe grunts
