HI GUUUYS. IT'S THE SECOND CHAPTER. Yay? Nommy nom.
"Sure, Hi I'm Jade!" Jade's scowling face turned into a beautiful smile and stuck out her hand.
The grey haired male tentatively stuck out his hand as well. "I'm Grey." He grinned.
Jade took his hand and dragged him into a hug. "I'm a hugger." chuckled Jade.
Grey gave a hearty laugh.
"When you're all done." Cynthia rolled her eyes.
Jade snorted. "And that kill joy is Cynthia."
Cynthia walked over and shook his hand. "HI and I'm not a kill joy. Don't listen to what Jade says." She glared at Jade and the last bit.
Jade shrugged and went over to the raven headed boy. "Hi, as you heard I'm Jade." she grinned.
"And I'm Raven." He introduced shyly.
Jade yet again dragged him into a hug. "Hello."
After they introduced themselves and was no where to be seen and the girls were sitting on the desks while the boys were actually sitting on the chair but slouching slightly.
"So..we haven't really seen you around...are you new or something?" Cynthia casually asked while swinging her legs.
Grey and Raven raised their eyebrows. "Yes, we're new." Raven answered, nodding slightly.
"And you already got detention?" asked Jade thoughtfully.
"Pranked one of the teachers by putting itching power on her chair." Grey shrugged.
"Nice!" Cynthia and Jade praised them in unison.
"We didn't get our first detention until our second week." Cynthia rubbed her chin as if she had a beard.
"And we did a pretty lame prank...we sort of painted everything in a classroom pink." snickered Jade.
"LAME?! That sounds pretty damn cool!" Grey exclaimed standing up and knocking over the desk that Jade was sitting on.
"Oomph!"
"Mr. Sanders! Sit down! Ms. Nightly are you ok?" Mr. Norfolk strode in with his arms crossed.
"Sorry Mr. Norfolk. Sorry Jade." Grey mumbled, helping Jade get up.
Jade laughed. "It's fine! It's not the worst thing that's happened to me."
Cynthia snorted but hid it with a cough. "That's an understatement. You fell off a 36 foot tree, broke a rib and your arm."
"Thank you Ms. Snowdon, We do not need to know Ms. Nightly's life story."
"Actually-" Jade piped up. "My life story is pretty interesting. I'm sure you'd like to hear it."
"You will be writing lines today." growled Mr. Norfolk, obviously not in the mood to argue with his students.
"How many would you like sir?" Raven asked.
"50."
"That's quite a lot Chuckie." Jade told him.
"It's Mr. Norfolk to you and if you will not be quiet I'll have no other choice other than to give you 60."
"Oh but you do have a choice." Cynthia joined in.
"60 for both of you!" He cried, raising his voice. "End of discussion!"
The two girls grinned and started writing their lines. Finally they managed to finish before the two boys.
"How did you finish so quickly?" He asked, astonished.
"One, we're use to it." Cynthia told him.
"And secondly, our handwriting is like a baby trying to write! Bye Mr. Norfolk! We're going on for some Tea and Crumpets! Care to join us?" Jade finished Cynthia's sentence.
Mr. Norfolk turned red. "NO I will NOT! Go home foolish children!" He growled and shooed the two snickering friends out.
"Should we wait for Grey and Raven?" asked Cynthia.
"Well..They are cute." Jade mumbled.
Cynthia nodded in agreement.
"Sure! I don't see why not! And then they could have some of our tea and crumpet!" grinned Jade.
"I prefer coffee and waffles thank you very much!" Cynthia glared at her.
"And I prefer Cookies! Crumpets are too dry!" Jade told her with a huge grin.
"What's all this talk about tea and crumpet?" Raven's voice asked, as they came out of the room with their hands cramping.
"My hands hurt so much." complained Grey.
"Here." Jade rummaged around her bag and brought out an ice pack.
"Why the hell do you have that?" asked Cynthia, looking at the ice pack that was currently in Grey and Raven's throbbing hands.
"I come prepared." Jade laughed, shaking her head.
"Right...um so do you guys have anywhere to go afterwards?" Cynthia questioned the boys curiously.
The boys shared a glance and started grinning wildly. "We do now."
"Wait- you don't have anywhere to go?" Jade looked at the boys like their heads were on fire.
"Well...our parents aren't always home..." Grey told her.
"Say no more! We'll be going to our tree house of doom!" cried Jade and dragged Grey away.
Raven was left with Cynthia who shrugged and started walking. Raven quickly followed them out of the school and into the fresh outside where Jade was twirling around.
"Oh I love fresh air."
"We know Jade."
"And I love cookies."
"We know."
"And I lov-"
"I'm pretty sure we all know what you love." snorted Cynthia.
Jade pouted and rushed after her friend with Grey and Raven trailing behind them snickering at their new found friends who were arguing (as usual) about waffles and tea, America and England and Coffee and Tea. Here's what they're argument is like:
"No Tea is better! It's sweeter than Coffee!"
"Yeah but you can add sugar to your coffee!"
"Then it's sickly sweet!"
"Just like your cookies!"
"Hey don't change the subject AND MY COOKIES AREN'T SICKLY SWEET!"
"Uh..yeah they are!"
"You've just eaten bitter things for your whole life you think nothings sweet! Just like my mum!"
"Hey! I do not like dark chocolate!"
/moving on~/
"Right. So here we are, our humble tree house." Jade introduced dramatically.
Right in front of the four of them was a massive tree with a wooden house on the top that had light glowing out of it.
"That..looks amazing." stuttered Raven, amazed.
"Siiiiick." Grey grinned at the tree house.
"Shall we go in?" Cynthia asked, pulling down a ladder.
"Is that even a question?!" Raven and Grey practically shrieked together and tore up the ladder.
"I knew our tree house was amazing." Jade high-fived Cynthia who snickered.
They ignored the ladder and just climbed the tree through the branches and tree holes (?)
"Whoa that's so cool." breathed out Raven.
The tree house was covered in cushions and fairy lights, the windows had curtains which was now drawn and sleeping bags were thrown across the room and the walls were covered with posters of random stuff.
"Right so...what should we do?"
/few hours later/
The moon was high across everyone's head when the two boys left the girl's tree house.
"So Jade..have you read the latest Warrior book?" Cynthia asked as the lay on the floor, looking at the beautiful night sky.
"What..oh Dovewing's Silence? No haven't read it yet.." replied Jade while she re-read Into the Wild.
"Mmm, I can't seem to find it in the library..." Cynthia trailed off.
"Right...i'm going to sleep now...good night." yawned Jade and bookmarked her page, flipped off her side of the lights and closed her eyes. In matters of minutes, she was fast asleep.
"Yeah..night." Cynthia mumbled and continued to stare at the stars.
The stars seemed to twinkle in the sky, almost as if they were talking to her...then black spots covered her vision and she passed out.
/dream/
"Wha..what?" Jade asked groggily as she was 'awoken'.
Next to her Cynthia stirred and woke up.
"Where the hell are we?" She exclaimed.
They were in a starlight clearing that was surrounded by forests and two shimmering cats stepped out.
"Moonflower...Goosefeather." Cynthia identified the two cats and dipped her head in greeting, Jade following suit.
"Very good observation skills Cynthia. I'm afraid Starclan has never asked for a Twoleg's help but it is urgent and we must share a prophecy with you." Moonflower told them.
"Well what is it?" Jade asked her impatiently.
Goosefeather glared at her. "Patience young one, only time will tell."
"From twoleg two must come, three in one they must become, the fire that burns shall burn down the earth, the strike of shadow to perish evil's turf, to win or lose clan's age must dawn, but death unleash through tiger's pawn." Moonflower told them, completely ignoring Goosefeather.
"Fire..tiger.." mumbled Cynthia.
"The first arc..We'll be in when Firestar first entered the forest." Jade said excitedly.
"But...we know all the answers and what will happen.." Cynthia looked at the two cats with confusion all over her face.
"You..want us to change it?" asked Jade curiously. "But why?"
"Because the future that you know leads to lots of bloodshed..that cannot happen." Goosefeather answered-well more like snapped.
"Right..." Cynthia nodded unsurely.
"Go back to your world." Moonflower nodded in a comforting tone and the two of them fell back asleep.
So we've met Grey and Raven. Totally not hints of what's going to happen in the future. Bye for now!
