Hello all whom seem to like this story.
Ha! I did indeed predict my own actions. I planned for this to be one big chapter, but got lazy. This chapter is here kind of just to let you know what's going on.
Jack sat on the couch, his hands folded professionally in his lap. The rest of the Seals of Amber were scattered around the room. They were in the lovely and luxurious sweet of the hotel they rented a four days stay in. Having Chris as a friend wasn't a bad bonus of being a part of the Seals of Amber. Though Jack had to admit that he was pretty disappointed they were only there to stop destruction of a second Angels HQ. Sure they were there for a noble cause, but staying a couple of weeks to explore and sight see wouldn't have been so bad. He sighed, twirling strands of burgundy hair around his fingers. Damian leaned on his shoulder, his large silvery gray eyes half open. He was still a bit tired from the trip to get there. Emily sat next to him. She wasn't a fan of the trip there. They had to go by boat, and the poor blonde had a small fear of water. Vanemy occupied that final place on the couch next to Emily, her green eyes darting around curiously. Rochelle leaned against the wall, arms crossed and knee bent with a slight smile. Pandore stood next to her. Chris and Bao occupied arm chairs and Aurora was sprawled across the love seat. Soon the door to their sweet swung open. The first to enter was a boy. He was an average height with porcelain skin. He had a head of messy raven hair and the dark lavender eyes of Kirron. He took a seat on the arm of the couch. Next to enter was one cheerful lad with fluffy light lavender hair and bright blue eyes. He occupied the other arm of the couch. The last to enter forced a chill to cross Jack's spine. Ryuga didn't exactly give him the best memories, and he found himself a bit intimidated by his presence. Damian instantly glared at Ryuga, hating him ever sense he managed to scar Jack at the world championships. Ryuga shot them both a smirk, before leaning against the wall opposite Rochelle.
"Guys this is Jack and Damian, the new members I told you about." Rochelle stated, gesturing kindly to the two boys. "Jack and Damian, these are the other members of the Seals of Amber. Valerian, Hyoma, and it seems that you know Ryuga." She introduced, gesturing to the names' respective owners. "And yes. Valerian is related to the Silver Angels chamber-mate. They're brothers." She stated after viewing the look Damian was giving Valerian. The bluenette hummed in response.
"So what's the plan?" Valerian asked, brushing a hand across his forehead.
"Well. The construction sight isn't too far from this hotel." Emily started. "It's probably a twenty minute walk. I think we should head there tomorrow morning. Early. I believe they won't expect us to attack around 6:00 a.m." A chorus of unpleasant groans washed through the room.
"Trust me, I'm the last person who wants to wake up that early." Emily mused. "But that's the only option that'll give us the advantage of surprise. We'll have to take out the construction workers and any security they might have as well. I'm sorry, but all the fire mages can not participate in this. Their goal is to conserve energy to burn the construction. This means that everyone else must do the fighting and protect the fire mages best they can. When Ryuga, Damian, Aurora, and I make it to the construction, we'll split up to burn other parts. Ryuga, you'll take the back. Aurora, you take the front. I'll take the left side and Damian will take the right. Does everybody understand?" Her azure eyes darted around the room in search of a nod from everyone. "Great. Then for now you can do whatever you'd like. Be sure to go to bed early." She said. Most began to disperse to their bedrooms. Emily and Aurora left the hotel all together, for they both had the intentions of checking out the preforming arts center. Ironically enough, Valerian left the hotel with the sane intention. Ryuga, Hyoma, and Bao went to their rooms, while Chris and Vanemy decided to take a walk around the hotel.
"You wanna do something together Jack?" Damian asked casually.
"Nope." Jack hummed cheerfully, catching Damian by surprise. Jack chuckled, poking Damian's forehead. "Go ask Pandore instead. You can hang out with me anytime." The artist grinned
"Ah thanks. You're such a good friend." Damian breathed, giving the older teen a quick hug.
"Oh trust me Honey I know." Jack laughed arrogantly with a haughty flip of the hair. Damian sneered, before trotting over to the wall where Rochelle and Pandore were chatting.
"Hey." He greeted, placing his hand on Pandore's shoulder and gaining the attention of the two girls.
"Yo." Rochelle replied casually.
"Hello Damian." Pandore greeted back, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Wanna check out the town with me?" Damian queried.
"Oh … really?" Pandore gasped quietly, seeming to blush even more. Damian nodded. Pandore glanced up at Rochelle, who nodded with a smile. Pandore turned to Damian with an excited yes. Damian grabbed her hand and lead her from the sweet. Jack watched them leave with a smile.
"So you're the big brother of the two huh?" Remarked that of a feminine voice. Jack glanced toward the voice's origin to see Rochelle hopping on the arm of the couch next to him. She really was pretty. Her skin was vibrant, her hair was lustrous and curly, and she had plump lips. Jack actually wasn't sure how to react. Rochelle cocked her head playfully with a grin. "Don't worry, I'm the big sister of the two of us too." Jack was still unsure of what to say.
"Talker, aren't cha?" Rochelle stated sarcastically. Jack giggled awkwardly, a faint pink crossing his cheeks.
"Ha!" Rochelle exclaimed, "You're adorable! N a different and weird kind of way, but still very cute."
"Thank you." Jack grinned, blushing more.
"So I know that being alone isn't fun." Rochelle stated. "I've got bucks to burn and we're both artistic nerds. How about we go see what England's hobby shop has to offer?" Jack found himself smiling, loving the girl's cheerful and confident attitude. "Sounds fun." He answered.
Alister stood proudly in front of the construction sight, a small grin adorning his features as his azure eyes took in everything that went on. Everything was going fabulously. The workers were moving exceptionally quickly and Alister could almost see the shape of it. Kirron stood next to him, just kind of gazing blankly at the construction. Raven and Keily stood behind them chatting. Lily and Joseph stood behind them; Lily glancing around curiously, while Joseph just stood attentively. Mary was sitting atop the construction sight kicking her feet and daydreaming when she noticed the group below. She leapt down in front of them with a smile. "Hi Guys." She greeted cheerfully. A wave of different hellos echoed from the group. And she gave a special hello to Kirron, covering him with small kisses and cuddles before resting her head against the crook of his neck in an embrace.
"Hi Mary." Kirron breathed softly, looping a casual arm over her back and rubbing her shoulders. So yes, the silver haired girl's attraction to the male teen was blatant. It was unfortunate too, because Kirron just didn't feel the same way. He viewed the childish girl as a little sister, despite the fact that she had three years on him. It seemed that every girl wanted him but the one he so desired. Life was cruel, so very very cruel. But Mary was painfully possessive and aware of Kirron's crush, making Kirron a bit wary of what Mary might try to do to Emily if she saw her. He could only imagine how Emily would feel when confronted by Mary. Caught in the anger of another woman for a boy she didn't even care about? He found himself fantasizing the different scenarios. He didn't even notice Mary dart from his arms to greet Joseph.
"What's happen'in Peeps?" Was the powerful and masculine voice that pulled him from his thoughts. All glanced toward the voice's origin to see none other than Bryson standing in front of them. He was a big boy, being rather tall with a heck of a lot of muscle. He had a smooth and clear peanut butter complexion with dimples and a tiny scorch mark under his eye. He had thick eyebrows and beautiful hazel eyes. His hair was well combed and black and auburn. He wore black jeans and matching black and blue hightop tennis shoes. He had a leather bracelet on his right arm and wore a cobalt blue T-shirt. He was the epitome of a handsome jock.
"Yo Bryson!" Kirron greeted happily.
"Sup Homey!?" Bryson greeted back.
"Ha ha!!!" They exclaimed in unison and in the exact same way. They then high-fived twice, shook hands, side hugged, and then exploded in laughter.
"Darn those boys and their cool handshakes." Raven cursed after watching the two.
"I wanna cool handshake." Keily whined.
"Huh, I think it's cute." Lily commented. Raven was next to go give Bryson a special greeting, attacking him in a large hug.
"Haha! Hey Raven!" Bryson chuckled, running a hand down her back. He liked her a lot. In fact he wanted to date her; but like most guys, was a bit too shy in confessing his love. He then trotted over to Lily and Keily. "Hey girls." He laughed, tousling their lavender hair. The two glanced up at him.
"Glad to see you're hear Bryson." Alister grumbled. Unlike most in the Silver Angels, Alister actually was rather annoyed with Bryson. But he was way to valuable of an agent to hate.
"So, what's the plan for defending the base?" Bryson queried.
"Simple." Alister stated. "All we're going to do is take turns guarding the base. Anyone from the Seals of Amber turn up, give the others a call. Joseph and Mary, you guys are day time people so you'll keep watch from now until 6:00 in the evening. Keily and Lily, you guys take from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Raven and Bryson are the all night party animals, so you'll take from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. Kirron you are literally the only one who can function properly in the morning so you'll go from 2:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. with Ridley." Kirron moaned unnecessarily loudly at the mention of Ridley's name. "I gotta work with him?" He groaned.
"Well you two are the most powerful members here. Why shouldn't you work together?" Alister remarked.
"First, I'm first and he's second in terms of power." Kirron huffed. "Second, the guy pisses me off. He doesn't talk or listen. And I don't trust him."
"Kirron. You're being dramatic." Alister commented.
"Oho am I now? Luckily for me your opinion doesn't matter and it's funny that you think it does." Kirron shot back. "Heed my warning Dad, Ridley is nothing but trouble."
"Yeah right." Alister retorted.
"Okay fine, don't believe me." Kirron replied calmly. "I'm off to the preforming arts center. Tgat's where you'll find me when you're ready to apologize. Wanna come Bryson?"
"Yeah dude. Wanna hit the arcade after?" Bryson answered, joining Kirron's side. Kirron nodded.
"Lit!" Bryson sang.
"Why is that kid so stubborn!!?" Alister shouted when the two were out of sight.
Profanity. I myself don't use it; and probably won't for another thirty kabillion years, but find it appropreite to better convey my character emotions when dealing with diologue.
So the next chapter should be short as it will only focus on what our characters are doing before the burning of the construction. Chapter twelve should be intense as it should focus on the burning of the construction; and if you could not guess, a rather interesting battle will take place. Please, stay tuned.
Well that will conclude things for today.
Remember to leave a review and that ... ... feedback is love! ;)
