Life After High School - Ten Years Later
Risty and Silver
Disclaimer: The short answer is: No and the long answer is: Nnnnoooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Summary: Crikey, I thought you would have read it by now.
A/N: Well folks, I've been away for two weeks at the sunshine coast. It was absolutely lovely, if you wanted to know. But now I'm back from outer space. I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face . . . what? You don't like that? OK, I'll stop.

"Ria. Ria! Wake up!"
I moaned. My head felt like a Warner Brothers cartoon character had hit it with an iron.
"What is it, Kane?"
"Wake up and find out!"
I opened my eyes and sat up, my already painful head bumping against the low bunk.
"Owwwww! That hurt!" I said. Kane looked scared.
"Ria, we aren't at home no more."
"Then where the hell are we?"
"How should I know?"
My vision had cleared and I saw we were in a big room that had about six other kids in it. All different species. They were huddled in the corner, watching Kane and me. A girl (at least I think it was a girl) came forward and smiled.
"Hi." She said. "Have you been captured too?"
"What do you mean captured?" asked Kane, fearfully.
"Ray, Adam and Mike brought you two in last night. We thought you were their kids, but then we saw you were totally different. I'm Eska by the way."
"If you don't mind me asking," I said, after introducing ourselves, "but what are you? I mean, what kind of specie?"
"I'm a Centaur." Eska replied, smiling sadly. "I come from the grassy plains just to the east of the Misty Mountains."
"Why did you get brought here?" Kane asked.
"My father owes money to some of these people. They took me until he could pay."
Just then, the door opened and a man came in, holding a huge tray with food on it. Not very nice food either.
"That's Ray. He's our supervisor."
The man Ray looked rather familiar to me.
"What's his last name?"
"Atlee. Ray Atlee. He's all right when he's not in a bad mood."
Kane had gone kinda pale.
"What's wrong Kane?" I asked, looking at him.
"Ray Atlee? Atlee? That's Forrest's name. Forrest Atlee."
I gaped. Forrest had never told me his last name, but Kane must have known.
"Forrest has always said he hated his brother. I always wondered what went wrong between them. Forrest would only tell me that they had a scuffle after their father died and Ray had stolen Forrest's half of the inheritance."
Eska, me, and the other five kids had huddled around Kane, gaping. Besides Eska Kane and me, there were Aliya, a hobbit from Bree, Rusty, Eska's older brother, Sandy, an elf who went to Elrond's school, Lara, a human girl who also went to Elrond's school and Bettina, another Hobbit from Lake Town.
I was hoping and praying that mum and dad would find us all.
