The Sixth Pilot
By: Songbreeze and Wicca_gurl
So many thoughts were running through Katrina's mind. 'What should I do? What should I say? How will they react? What will they think?' She bit her lip and asked the nurse who was helping the pilots, "Hey, um, do you know where my clothes are, you better of not thrown them out! They were expensive!"
The nurse just stared at her with her jaw open. But instead of helping her, she fainted and another nurse rushed over to help her.
"Ah, I'm never going to get out of these stupid hospital clothes!" She wined.
A doctor who was behind her finally spoke. "They're in the laundry, we usually wash out the clothes and give them to charity. I-I'll go get them for you," he stuttered. The doctor ran toward the laundry area to pick up her clothes.
'Ok, now what?!?! I'm standing here, people afraid of me and I've got a lot of explaining to do to everyone. I... just don't know how I'm going to tell them.' Katrina thought.
"Here you go," as he handed Katrina her clothes, "you can go in there to change," he pointed to an empty room.
"Thank you," she replied.
********************************************************************************
"Argh, the clothes are still damp!" She complained as she sat on the bus with the other pilots.
"I wanna go home!" She cried. She noticed everyone else was quiet, like they were off in they're on little world.
"You guys aren't even listening to me, are you? Don't deny it!" Katrina noticed that they passed the stop they were supposed to get off at. Katrina panicked and pulled the Stop cord, "See, we almost missed our stop!"
Katrina ran off the bus and ran toward Quatre's mansion, with the others following close behind. None of them said anything to each other; they were all in deep thought and staring at the ground.
Katrina rummaged through her pockets to find the house keys 'Damnit!' She thought angrily. She looked back to the pilots far away from the mansion; they were walking at an extremely low pace. Katrina narrowed her eyes and ran toward Quatre.
"Gimmie the keys, I'm cold!" she demanded as she dug through his pockets. Quatre was surprised, but let her find them on her own. She pulled them out and shouted "Thank you!" over her shoulder as she ran back toward the door. She quickly opened the door and ran inside and upstairs.
*********************************************************************************
"Ah, it's so nice to be inside again," she sighed happily. Katrina took off her damp clothes and put out some new ones for her. She then grabbed a towel from her room and crawled outside to the bathroom. 'Hopefully no one will interrupt with this shower,' she scowled
*******************************Katrina's room***********************************
After the nice hot shower, Katrina put on her new clothes and went over to her pets, "Haven't talked to you guys in awhile. Sorry, it's been an interesting and busy few weeks." Katrina got out a dead rat from her paper bag for fluffy, "There ya go, enjoy! And for you Pooky, some crickets!" she smiled happily as she took some crickets out from a jar. Katrina sighed, "Don't get too comfy you guys, I'm afraid we might have to move somewhere else"
Katrina looked back to her altar. 'Stupid magick, I'm sick of it. Mom wanted me to learn it like her, and be good at it, but nothing I do with it works. Plus I'm sick of depending on it,' Katrina thought as she looked down at her ring. 'I should just get rid of it, maybe sell it, and then I can get some money. I never liked it anyway.' Katrina took out an old box and started to pack it up, 'Sorry mom, but magick's not for me,' she sighed.
After packing it up and closing the box, Katrina noticed the sun setting. Despite that it was a hot day today, she still felt cold, like this afternoon. Maybe it was because she was in damp clothing, or maybe it was something else. Katrina looked down at her ring again, 'that's the last thing I need. Why did mom even bother getting this for me? Despite the fact that it cost her a fortune when she was in India, and kept her alive from sunlight and fire. Still, why did she get it for me? I coulda stayed alive without it, besides, for all I know, maybe I shoulda died, and this stupid 'Jewel of Amara' (A/N: I got that ring idea from Buffy, except I screwed around with it and made it only for sunlight and fire) got in the way. Katrina saw the sun was about to set. She looked back down at her ring and slowly pulled it off, 'I think I'll do better without it.'
Just then she heard her bedroom door open. She looked up and saw the reflection of Quatre in the window. She could see him walk up right beside her, "Hi," he smiled. Katrina turned around and gave him a weak smile. "Hey to yourself," she said back. Katrina sat down on her bed and crossed her legs. "It's pretty obvious you want to say something to me. So go ahead," she told him. "I guess you've gotten used to it by now I guess?" Katrina just nodded in response. Quatre sighed, "I don't know how I'm going to put this," he stated. "Then maybe I should say it" Katrina interrupted. "Quatre, it's not normal for someone to 'not' have a reflection. Now, as hard to believe as it sounds...I'm... a vampr-" All of a sudden Katrina burst out laughing "I'm sorry, it just sounds so funny! Kay, why you don't you say what you think I am, ok? Because then I can just say 'yes' or 'no' and it makes it sound less funny."
Quatre looked down. 'She's making a joke out of it.' He looked up again, "Well, I know what's not supposed to have a reflection, and I guess your right, it is hard to believe that one exists." "Oh, many exist" she interrupted him. "Oh" he replied. "Hey, don't worry! I'm not gonna go after you guys or anything. That's just mean, and wrong. But, yes, I do drink blood, but only animal blood. See!" she said pointed to a jar of blood "Oh...." Quatre said uneasily "And if you're wondering why I can go out in sunlight, it's this! She pointed to her ring "It's "magick" she joked.
Katrina sighed, "Look, I just hope your cool with it, and if not, I can move out anytime if it bothers you. And, I can not talk to you anymore if you don't want me to see me ever again" she told him sadly. Quatre looked up in surprise "Katrina, I don't want you to go, I'm just starting to get to know you, plus you're part of the team and..." Quatre put his hand on Katrina's shoulder "your family, no matter what" he continued. Katrina blinked a couple times until a smile appeared on her face "Yay!" she whispered as she moved over and gave Quatre a hug "Now, I just need to talk to everyone else. I wonder how that's gonna go" she pondered aloud.
Quatre smiled and got up and noticed the packed box "Oh no, I'm just getting of some stuff I don't really want anymore. No need to worry" she assured him. "Alright then" he told her and then left the room.
Katrina fell back on her bed 'that was easier then I thought. One down, four more to go' Katrina looked down at her half on ring. She blinked blankly at it and pulled it back down 'I guess I can have one little memento of magick' she thought.
********************************************************************************
Katrina looked at her damp clothes. 'I guess I should wash those, there's already a huge pile forming in my hamper' Katrina got up and took her basket downstairs to the laundry room. As she was walking there, she stared down at the floor 'I wonder if it'll really be ok. I'm glad it is with Quatre, he's the last person I'd want to be angry with me' Katrina then bumped into someone and fell to the floor. Katrina looked up to see Wufei getting up "Hey watch it! I was walking!" Katrina shouted at him as she got up
"Hey, I was, you were the one not looking! Stupid woman," he mumbled.
"What did you say?! I couldn't hear you, or were you too afraid to say it because I would hear?
Wufei growled at her response, "I'm not afraid, you stupid woman!"
"Oh, now you can say it, eh?" she said sarcastically, picking up her hamper.
Ignoring her comment, he walked past her. "You know, maybe you aren't so stupid after all," he said shyly.
Looking up at his response, Katrina smirked, "Well I'll be damned! The great Wufei is admitting to a girl that she's actually smart!"
"That's no what I meant!" He snapped. Grinning with cruelty, he said "Hell, from what I saw back at the hospital, you're just a monster. You're not a human girl at all." Having said his piece, he walked away.
Katrina was shocked at what he said; it was like a million daggers had pierced through her heart. Her eyes started to get hot as tears started to form in eyes 'I knew it wouldn't be ok!' she screamed in her head, her lips trembling with sadness. She quickly grabbed her laundry and ran to the laundry room, slamming the door behind her. Instead of opening the washer, she hunched over it and lowered her head onto it, crying hysterically "How could I've thought it'd be ok? It's not! I screwed up!" She wailed.
Katrina let herself crumple, sobbing, into a fetal position, in the middle of the hall. Katrina had no idea how much time had passed, but she did remember the warmth of a person picking her up and taking her to a room and placing onto her bed. As soon as she was set down, Katrina looked up into the face of the person who brought her here. Expecting it to be her brother, she was surprised to see the jungle green eyes of Trowa. Trowa looked down at her and asked, "Feeling better?" His tone was not sadistic like that of Wufei's, yet it wasn't loving, like her brothers; it was sort of a monotone with only a hint of concern.
Katrina blushed a bit and smiled weakly, "Yeah, I'm fine." She sat up and Trowa backed away, giving her some space. "Thanks," Katrina smirked, but had a sad expression on her face. She sighed as silence fell upon the two teens. She thought it was odd of Trowa to be still there. The silence was only for a couple of seconds, but ordinarily Trowa would've been gone by now. "Is there any other reason why you're still here?" Katrina asked shyly, hoping not to offend him.
Trowa's eyes looked down. "Not really," he simply replied.
Katrina raised an eyebrow at Trowa's response. She pondered for a bit about what he meant. She shrugged and looked back at him, "All right then," she nodded. Katrina's mouth opened to say something else, but slowly closed it. She thought it wasn't the best time to discuss about who she was with him yet. She flashed him a smile and quickly got up, "Well, I better get back to my laundry now, but...thanks again," she nodded and headed for her door.
"Katrina!" Trowa shouted.
Katrina whirled around to face him. "Yes?" she asked quietly.
Trowa smirked a bit as he spoke, "I don't care about who or what you are. You're a part of our team and a friend, and that's all that matters."
Katrina's got a confused look on her face; she didn't expect that. Yet she was still speechless. It felt good to hear those words and all she could do is sadly smile. "Thanks again," she said softly, and went outside into the hall.
She walked back to where the laundry room was before. She saw her clothes still stacked in her hamper. She walked over to the washer and folded her arms over it and rested her chin. She had a pouty look on her face, until she smiled. She even started to giggle. She remembered about what she did with Wufei and her pets. 'The hell with that guy!' she told herself. 'I don't need that crap from him, they guy's afraid of a snake and a spider! Yeah, I'm the weak, stupid one!' she rolled her eyes. She lifted her head and shook it, "He's good for a laugh though; I really should plot my revenge for that rude comment from him,' she smirked evilly. 'But first to my laundry!' she grinned.
About 10 minutes later, after starting her load and getting something to drink from the kitchen, she returned to her room. She flopped down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. A smile was plastered on her face, she couldn't help but feel good after what Trowa had said to her, even though it was small talk, but that was just like him. She grabbed her drink and shot back the small amount that was left. She set down the class on her bedside table and yawned. Even though it was still early for her, she had an exhausting day. She got up and picked out some blue pajamas with clouds on them. She buttoned up the front shirt and hopped into bed with a mischievous grin on her face. "I need a good sleep," she told herself and soon fell fast asleep.
