A/N-Sorry for the incredibly long wait on the update, I've been wicked busy lately, I'll try and keep up more from now on, promise.
Disclaimer-I don't own WITCH
cornycaleblover4ever-If your thinking what I think your thinking, the answer is no, but then again, I have no clue what your thinking, so unless I can learn to read minds over the net, your outta luck!
To everyone else-Because I am incredibly sick and tired of people asking, let me set you straight: I am sure most of you have read my profile, because that is where I put everything about the new guardians. You'll notice that Calebs' son is in there, and that it says his mother is dead, so let me tell you: Cornelia is not Calebs' wife! Sorry Cor/Cal people, but I didn't wanna use that. I assure you though, somewhere in the five parts I have to this story, you will see Cornelia and Caleb meet. And if my ideas work out, it's gonna be pretty darn funny…ahem, anyway, on with the story!
Chapter 9-Run or Fight
Kaprees' POV
Is it possible to be this bored? Kapree wondered as she scribbled down some more notes. She and Allie had come with three different kinds of boring: wow, this is boring, where's my bed when I really need it, boring, and open a window for me to jump out of, boring. Listening to Curtis Emery's speech was definitely a number three on the list. She sighed boredly. Curtis was probably the smartest kid in class, and was definitely the only one who could take a bloody Civil War battle, and turn into a snore fest. It was a talent, as Allie had once put it. Take something that could be exciting, and make the most boring thing in the world.
She wrote down another a note, and her mind drifted back to her conversation with Allie earlier that morning.
Allie, do you realize how crazy you sound right now?" Allie asked as the two walked to school together, "I mean a giant snake? Come on, who in their right mind would believe that?"
"Well, lets' see", Allie said, pretending to think, "Torie thinks I'm insane, Haley thinks I need help, and Sam nearly passed out from laughing. Evidently, no one believes me"
"And I don't blame them", Kapree said, "Come on, I think the whole guardian thing is going to your head, your seeing paranormal where there's normal, give it a rest"
"A giant lizard isn't normal Kapree!" Allie said angrily as they walked into school.
"Probably just a prank", Kapree said with a shrug, "I gotta get to class, see ya later"
"Bye", Allie grumbled as she walked off.
"Um, Curtis?" Kapree snapped out of her world and looked around to see Allie with her hand in the air.
"Uh, yea Allie?" Curtis asked looking surprised someone was paying attention. Kapree was surprised anyone would be paying attention, especially Allie.
"I was just wondering how much longer this was going to be", Allie said innocently, "I mean, I lost my pulse somewhere around the second battle, but-"
"Allison!" Mr. Benson snapped. Apparently someone was still paying attention.
"Yes Mr. Benson?" Allie said, trying to look innocent. Even from where she was sitting, Kapree could see a smile creeping across her friends face. Haley, who was sitting across the room (Mr. Benson had split the trio up that day, he said they didn't pay attention in class, or something like that), had a smile creeping across her face to. Kapree was trying not to laugh.
BBBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIINGGGGGGGG!
"Saved by the bell", Kapree whispered, grabbing her notebook and jumping up. Allie bolted before Mr. Benson could stop her, obviously relieved for the save. Kapree got to her locker and started spinning the combination lock, trying to remember what she had for homework.
"Hey!" she said as someone bumped into her from behind. Oh great, she said to herself, Andrew. Andrew, Kevin, Anthony, and TJ, easily Sheffield's lowest low lives. Kevin, Anthony, and TJ were completely brain dead, but they made up for it by following Andrew around, who would have been a smart kid if he didn't spend so much time goofing off.
"Sorry Mishora", Andrew sneered, "I'll watch we're I'm going next time-ow!"
Kapree dissolved into a fit of giggles as Andrew whirled around. Allie, Torie, and Haley were standing behind, Allie with her hand out. She'd slapped him in the back of the head.
"Sorry Andrew, you had a bug on your head", Allie said with a smirk, "Does that mean your father's picking you up from school?"
"Funny", he said sarcastically, storming away. Almost right away he ran into Sam. "Hey", he said, looking interested. Kapree could almost see the words, new meat flashing in his eyes, "You're new huh? I'd be more then happy to give you the grand tour, how's about we start with that closet over there? You go in and take a look, and we'll leave you there till tomorrow!"
Sam glared at him for a sec, then smirked a little, "Sounds good. So tell me, who writes your jokes, the same person that combs your hair, cuz they're doing a pretty lousy job at both"
Andrew glared at her, then ran his hand through his short cut brown hair, and walked away, his merry gang of thugs following loyally behind him.
"You handled that pretty well for your first time", Torie said appreciatively.
"The boys at my old school were a lot meaner", she said simply, glaring down the hallway.
"Where did you go to school anyway?" Torie asked, trying to press some info out of the new girl.
"Have you seen my brother?" she asked, completely ignoring the question, "I think he said something about staying after today, but I don't remember…"
"He's been getting along pretty good with my brother", Kapree said, "I saw them hanging out together at lunch"
"Yea?" Sam said interestedly, "Well, that's good at least, he needs to make some new friends, and he misses his old ones…"
Ring ring
"I told them not to call before three o' clock!" Sam said, yanking her cell phone out of her pocket, "Just because they're out of school, doesn't mean I am! Hello?"
She listened for a minute, then glared at her phone, "Hi Shayna. I thought I told you, don't call before three, you guys may get out at three past, but classes just ended here! Wait a second; I don't remember giving you my cell phone number! Allison gave it to you? Remind me to thank her for that later…"
"Sam has another friend named Allison?" Allie whispered to Kapree, "Bummer!"
Kapree giggled. Sam rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, so sorry I missed that, what will I do? Oh shut up Shayna…I'll tell you to shut up if I want to! What? No, don't put Rin on, please…hi Corinne!"
The girls walked out of school, trying their best not to laugh at Sams conversation (Allie wasn't doing to good).
"Yes Corinne, I know…yes", she sounded bored now, "Uh huh…oh, look at that, I gotta go Rin, bye!"
She hung up with a sigh, and turned her phone off. The girls started talking about the day, starting with Allies' ridiculous snake story.
"Oh come on!" Allie said impatiently, "I just thought it was something to check out, gimme a break, would ya!"
"Come on Allie", sensible Torie said reasonably, "A giant snake? Who in their right mind believes something like that?"
"I do!" Allie said agitatedly.
"Like I said before, who believes in something like that?" Torie repeated with a smirk. Allie glared at her for a second, with a killer look.
"Okay, okay", Sam said, trying to divert a fight, "Why don't we just humor the delusional girl and go check this out?"
"Thank you! I think…" Allie puzzled over this comment/insult the whole way to the park.
"Okay", Kapree said, "This is where those people say they saw the lizard. Does anyone see anything out of the ordinary?"
"You mean besides five girls standin' 'roud like total fools?" Sam grumbled as her phone rang again, "Yea? What?" she said huffily, grabbing it, "Why in the world did I turn this thing back on?"
As Sam chatted with her friend (whoever it might have been) Kapree wondered around the wooded area. She'd grown up in Heatherfield, and the park had always been her favorite place.
"Good bye Catie", Sam said huffily as she hung up on her friend, "Who gave her my number anyway? Musta been Allison…"
"Can we go now?" Torie asked, "This is useless, I mean-"
"Sh!" Sam said suddenly, her head snapping around, "Listen!"
Kaprees' ears perked up interestedly as the wind blew. Suddenly, she heard all sorts of noises she hadn't heard a second before. She was picking up all kinds of sounds, from the streets, the people around her, everywhere. She could also hear a faint hissing noise…
"What is it?" she asked, looking around for the source. It was coming from behind a bunch of bushes. She crept of quietly and looked through the branches, nearly falling over in shock.
It wasn't the giant blue whole in the air that scared her (though it did help the fear along a little). No, it was what was getting ready to cross through that hole. A giant lizard. Oh no, she thought desperately, oh no, bad, bad, bad, bad…
"What is it?" Allie whispered, sounding terrified. The girls watched as the thing slithered into the hole, all completely terrified.
"A portal", Sam whispered in a shocked, strangled sounding voice. As the thing slithered through, the portal closed. Kapree was breathing hard, trying to keep her senses straight.
"Oh man", Allie whispered, "its things like that we're up against? No way, sorry, I thought the whole guardian thing was cool at first, but this is just way too much! Forget it, I'm out, no way, this is so not happenin, forget it!"
"She's right", Torie said, "I never thought I'd say this, but Allie's right. There is no way in the world I'm going to try and fight something like that, not happening. Forget it, if you wanna save the world, fine, but leave me out of it!"
She stood up and walked away before anymore could be said.
Sorry for the abrupt ending, and again, sorry for the incredibly long wait on the update. Review, or I'll never update again! Jk, but reviews are welcome (but no flames).
