Hey Everyone! I'm back! And yes, I know I've been avoiding updating on my
other fics. I've been a busy little highschooler and such. Had a
bachelorette party last night too. That was interesting... Well.... This
idea just got banged into my head. Literally... I was playing with my cat
and I walked into a doorframe. So here I go again with a fanfic that will
take me forever to update. Meh.
Chapter 1. Dangers in Playing with Kitty.
"Eee!" Yes, that was a typical noise from Ellenna's mouth when she was playing with her black cat, Giles. She was a 17-year-old student in (place your own state here...meh...I'm just don't feel like putting down my own state since I'm gonna start this off the way I got my idea for the fic) "He bit me!" She squealed again as she shoved her cat away with her muddy foot. Giles, being the cute cat he was, pounced back toward her and wiggled his tail.
"Yes, Ellenna, he did that yesterday and the day before that... and the day before that," her mother called from the kitchen. It was a wet Saturday morning and Ellenna's had just returned form and emergency track practice, hence the muddy shoes. She dropped her sweatshirt and reach over to the couch and picked up Giles favorite toy. It was a plastic stick with a ribbon string thing on the end. It was kind of entertaining to play with too. You could make all sorts of pretty designs with it in the air by swiveling the stick around. Ellenna smirked as she thought suddenly of people at the Olympics making this an actual sport. Maybe it already was...
"Yes, but the point is that he bit me now!" She called to her mom. "And I have shin splints so it hurts more." She whined. Hey, whining was an important thing in track. Not really, but it was to her. Ellenna was one of the track stars on the team of mostly freshmen and sophomores. She herself was a junior, along with four other girls, and two seniors.
"Ice," was all that her mother replied. Ellenna rolled her eyes and lead her cat up stairs to her room (Yes, getting muddy water stuff all over the carpet). Giles, of course, followed because of the toy. As soon as Ellenna was in her room she picked up the phone and dialed up her friend Johanna's numbered. Her friend was, however, in the shower at the time so she lay on her bed and proceeded to play with her cat. Today had been very bad so far. Her track teammates forgot to call and tell her that the emergency practice was cancelled (and she had been driving back and forth across town trying to find them too) and her track spikes were starting to dig into her back though her small sports bag.
She rolled over onto her stomach and grinned as Giles did a dive straight into the carpet. He was so cute sometimes. Five in the morning was not one of those times. The phone rang and she stood up to answer it. Maybe it was Johanna calling back. Just before her hand was to the phone it stopped ringing so she shrugged and kept playing with Giles. Her mom shouted from downstairs that it was for her so she reached over and picked up the cordless.
"Vendui!" She said cheerfully. Oh dear, it was another Lord of the Rings fan that tried to speak Elvish. Then again, with as many places as there were on the Internet with lessons it was possibly that she was just greeting her friend.
"Hey you!" Came Johanna's slightly far off voice. Some people just sound so far away on the phone. "What's up?"
"Nothing out of the ordinary besides me getting 'ditched' by the track team," Ellenna said as she made zigzags across the floor for Giles to chase.
"Ah-ha! You got ditched! I told you sports weren't healthy for ya!" Johanna laughed. Good friends are the ones that can make fun of each other like that. Or they're just mean. Johanna was a good friend though. She also wanted a snake.
"Ha is right, but a terrible waste of gas," Ellenna said dryly. "How are portrait plans?" she asked.
"Meh, I need a ball python," See, there was the want for a snake. "I'm gonna try to borrow one from my cousin."
"Just don't kill it," Ellenna warned then frowned as she heard her 9- year-old sister screaming and running around the house. "Hang on I have to yell at my sibling," she excused herself and put down the phone. When she got to the door it slammed open and hit her square in the head. She glared once at her shocked little sister then fell over, still holding the cat toy and her red track bag.
Okie! That's the end of chapter one! In the next chapter Ellenna wakes up with a bruise, her bag and cat toy, and a lot of sand. And so begins her Adventure in Troy! Please review so I can get some reaction and instructive criticism is invited. Thankies!
