Ch. Two A New Start
Amaya Hart woke up the next morning due to the sunlight streaming in through the broken window which she slept under. She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and yawned. She slipped out from under the covers, being careful not to step on Agrona, and stretched. She heard a whimpering yawn. She twisted her head and looked behind her. Agrona had woken up and had her rear end in the air and was stretching her front legs. She looked at her with her big blue eyes.
"You hungry girl?" She asked. The enormous wolf barked and wagged her white-tipped tail. Amaya laughed.
"I am too. C'mon, let's go find a couple rabbits. And a mouse or two for Shadow," she said, looking at the sleeping cat. She walked to the decaying wooden door and opened it, only to have Agrona rush past her and out the door. She ran around in circles chasing her tail. Amaya put her finger to her lips and pulled out her dagger. Agrona stopped chasing her tail and crouched low to the ground, going into hunting mode. Amaya smiled. I love how smart my pets are she thought.
The two crept into the bushes in search of a couple of rabbits. Amaya and Agrona heard a rustling of fallen leaves off to their right. Agrona crouched even lower to the ground if possible and leapt at whatever it was. Amaya stood up straight and put her hand on her hip. Agrona came out from behind the bush a minute later with a very large and very dead rabbit in her mouth. Amaya smiled at her wolf.
"Good girl, Ona," she said, using the wolf's nickname. "That's about the biggest rabbit I've ever seen." Agrona wagged her tail and dropped the dead rabbit at Amaya's feet. Amaya bent down and hugged the enormous wolf around her neck. "Oh, I love you Ona. Now get another rabbit for me and I'll go find some mice for Shadow." Agrona ran back into the bushes and hunted for another rabbit.
Amaya rooted silently around in the bases of trees until she found a small family of three mice. Even though she felt sorry for them, she shish-ka-bobbed them with her dagger. She turned around and saw Agrona sitting there, tail wagging, with another big rabbit in her powerful jaws. Amaya smiled.
"That's my girl! When I go into town next time, I'll get you a special treat," she said. She put her finger on her chin and tapped it. "Hmm, maybe a nice juicy cow leg?" The wolf dropped the rabbit and stood up on her hind legs and danced around. No matter how many times she did this, Amaya was still amazed at how big Agrona was. When she stood on her hind legs, she was as tall as Amaya. Amaya ruffled the wolf's already messed up fur.
"A nice big cow leg it is then. And how about a big bag of catnip for Shadow, eh?" Agrona barked and wagged her tail. Amaya looked past the wolf. "Speaking of Shadow..." The black cat was approaching them, blinking quickly as if trying to get all the sleep out of his eyes. Amaya crouched down.
"Oh Shaaadow. Look what IIIII've got," she said in a singsong voice, holding up the three dead mice by their tails. The cat quickened his pace and ran over to her. She held them out to him, and he took all three of them by their tails in his mouth. She picked up her dead rabbit and pointed to Agrona's rabbit.
"C'mon. Let's cook 'em up," she said. Agrona retrieved her rabbit and walked with Amaya over to the side of the shack/shed/decaying thing. Gathering some twigs and dead leaves, she put them in a pile and lined it with stones. She pulled her emergency lighter out of her pocket, lit a stick on fire, and threw it into the pile. The lighter was silver and had a very intricate raven carved into the side. On the other side, was the initials BRH which stood for her fathers name: Brian Robert Hart. Amaya's father was a smoker, and that lighter was one of the only things of his that she kept.
Once the fire was going, she skinned her rabbit and stuck the bloody carcass through a long pointy stick. She held it over the fire and rotated it like a rotisserie. Next to her, Agrona was chowing down on her rabbit. The wolf looked at Amaya with a tuft of fur sticking out of her mouth. Amaya chuckled and looked at her rabbit. Nice and toasty she thought. She took it away from the fire and blew on it a bit. Then, she bit into it.
----------
Odd woke up to see that Ulrich was already awake and staring at the ceiling.
"Morning Odd," he said without looking at him.
"How'd you know I was awake?" he asked. Ulrich chuckled.
"You stopped snoring," he said slyly. Odd scowled at him. He threw the covers off of him and pulled his clothes out of his drawers. He put them on and headed out of the room.
"Where're you goin'?" Ulrich asked, glancing at him. Odd grinned.
"The cafeteria," he said. Ulrich rolled his eyes as Odd closed the door. He began walking toward the cafeteria and had to pass the office on his trip. He peered in the window and saw a girl about his age with long straight black hair stopping at her waist filling out what looked to be enrollment papers. He watched as she tucked a lock of hair behind her ear. She was pale. Very pale. Odd wondered how anyone could get that pale. He would have stayed longer, but his hungry stomach got the better of him. He continued to the cafeteria where he heaped pancakes onto a plate, smothered them in butter, and drowned them in syrup. By the time he was finished, Ulrich, Yumi, and Jeremie were walking into the cafeteria. They sat down next to Odd.
"Hey guys, I think we've got a new student," he said.
"What makes you say that?" Yumi asked, smearing butter on her waffles.
"Cause I saw her in the office. And it definitely wasn't anyone already in our school," he said, making a grab for Jeremie's pancakes. Jeremie pulled them away and scowled at Odd.
"Did I hear you say new student?" Came an irritatingly high pitched voice from behind them. Odd and Jeremie turned around to see Sissy standing there with her slaves, Nicolas and Herb.
"Yeah, what's it to you?" Yumi snapped. Sissy flipped her hair over her shoulder, smirking at them.
"Well, it seems as though I'll be getting a new friend," she said smugly.
"You're too self-confident. What makes you think she's going to be your friend?" Ulrich asked. Sissy laughed that annoying laugh of hers.
"Everyone wants to be my friend Ulrich," she said in self-admiration.
"I can name four people who want nothing at all to do with you," he said, smirking at her. Sissy rolled her eyes.
"Yeah, who?"
"Us." Sissy glared at the group and stormed off.
"Yeah, just you wait and see. I'm going to make that new girl my friend and you guys won't stand a chance," she said rudely. The four friends laughed.
"Uh-huh surrre," Odd said sarcastically. "Well guys, looks like we've got a mission on our hands," he said happily. "And personally, I'm ready to win."
"I'll see you guys later. I'm going to go talk to Aelita for a while and work on her materialization," Jeremie said, rising from the table. Odd opened his mouth to say something and Jeremie rolled his eyes. "And yes Odd. You can have my food."
"Sweet!" Odd exclaimed as he dug into Jeremie's food. Yumi and Ulrich rolled their eyes.
---------- Later that day...
Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremie were in Mrs. Hertz's class waiting for Mrs. Hertz to arrive so they could get some extra sleep. Well, Ulrich and Odd at least. Five minutes after they had gotten settled and the rest of the class had filed in, Mrs. Hertz walked in followed by a girl whose hair was covering her face.
"Class, we have a new student. Her name is Amaya Hart and she comes from..." Mrs. Hertz looked at the girl for an answer. The girl mumbled something incoherent. "Around here. I hope you will all make her feel welcome. Come on now, don't be shy." The girl brushed her black hair out of her face. She was the girl Odd had seen in the office earlier. Pale skin, slim frame, and nails painted black. She was wearing black cargo pants, classic Adidas shoes that must have once been white but were now very dirty, and a black hoodie with a white Punisher skull on the front. Her straight hair was as black as you could possibly think and it went all the way down to her waist.
"Odd," Mrs. Hertz said. Odd looked up from his doodle.
"Yes, Mrs. Hertz?"
"I'd like you to show Ms. Hart around the school. At the end of the day, you may show her to her room."
"Yes, Mrs. Hertz. Now?"
"Yes, now would be good. Then you won't have to deal with anyone getting in your way," she said. Amaya waited by the door for Odd. Once he got up there, they exited the room. Ulrich turned around in his seat and smirked at Sissy, who glared at him in return.
----------
"Well, down that hallway is the cafeteria and waaay down that hallway are the dorms. And over there-" Odd was cut of by a loud RRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!
"There's the lunch bell. Let's grab some chow and I'll introduce you to my friends," he said. Amaya's green eyes lit up.
"Alright! Some real food. I'm starving!" he exclaimed, heading toward the hallway that led down the cafeteria.
"Alright, someone who shares a love of food," Odd said to himself, following her. When he got to the cafeteria, Amaya was already sitting at a table and was devouring a large helping of lasagna. Jeremie, Ulrich, and Yumi walked in right after Odd did. He walked them over to where Amaya was sitting.
"Guys, this is Amaya. She's new here," he said. Amaya looked up from her food. She was about to talk, but remembered she had food in her mouth. She quickly swallowed it.
"Hi," she said. Yumi smiled at her.
"Hi, my name's Yumi and this is Ulrich and Jeremie," she said, pointing to them.
"Nice to meet you all," she said. As soon as the four of them sat down, Sissy came over.
"Hi. You must be Amaya. I'm Sissy," she said, sticking her hand in Amaya's face, expecting her to shake it. Amaya drew her head back from the offending hand and looked at it with a dark eyebrow raised.
"Uhhh, hi I guess," she said, shaking Sissy's hand as if it were poisonous.
"I was wondering if you'd like to come eat lunch with me and my friends? We're just over there. And the sun won't be shining right in your eyes. You have very pretty eyes by the way," Sissy said, obviously playing the role of Lieutenant Suck-up. Amaya looked at her dully.
"Uh, no, that's okay. I'm fine right here," she said, already disliking the girl. Sissy sniffed, stuck her nose in the air, and walked away.
"She complimented me on my eyes..." Amaya said as if she were still trying to understand it. "Is she straight?" The entire table burst into peals of laughter, including Amaya.
"You know, I-I've b-been starting to doubt h-her m-myself!" Odd said through fits of laughter. "With t-the two g-goons she h-hangs o-out w-with!"
"That was grand. I haven't laughed that hard in ages," Ulrich said.
"Well, it's usually the guys that compliment girls on their eyes. Not other girls" she said, shaking her head in distaste.
"Too true, Amaya, too true," Yumi said before splitting into another bout of laughter. The five of them spent the rest of lunch laughing, eating, and just having a good time in general.
RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!
The 'end lunch' bell rang and Amaya followed Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremie to their next class and Yumi bid them farewell as she headed to her next class. Amaya soon found out that classes were boring, and she couldn't agree with Odd and Ulrich more when they said they wished it was the weekend.
When the day had ended, Odd remembered that he had to show Amaya to her room.
"So, what's your room number?" he asked.
"Um, #264," she said.
"Hey that's right next to mine and Ulrich's room!" he said happily. Amaya smiled.
"Cool. I just gotta go get my stuff. But I'll get that tomorrow. I guess I just better go get Shadow," she said.
"Who's Shadow?"
"My cat. I can't leave him alone. He doesn't like being away from me. He's probably freaking out right now," she said, rolling her eyes.
"There's this 'no pets' rule. But I won't tell anyone. I've got a dog in my room. My parents are on the other side of the world and I couldn't leave him with them," he said. "But anyway, I'll come with you."
"Okay. He's in the woods somewhere. Let's go," she said. They walked to the nearest exit and looked around, making sure no one was there. They ran into the woods and Amaya led him to the shed she slept in last night. But she didn't tell him she slept there. She pushed open the door and was greeted by Agrona leaping up on her, knocking her to the floor. When she saw Odd, however, she bared her teeth and growled at him.
"Jesus!" He said, backing up. Amaya looped her arm around Agrona's neck.
"Chill out girl. He's a friend," she said. Agrona slowly approached Odd and sniffed around his legs. Sensing that he posed no threat, she jumped on him and knocked him to the ground as well, licking his face.
"That is one big dog," Odd said once he got to his feet again. Amaya smiled, looking around the shed.
"She's not a dog. She's a wolf," she said. Odd's eyes widened.
"You have a wolf for a pet?" he asked incredulously.
"Mmmhmm. I found her as a newborn pup and she was abandoned. I just couldn't bare to leave her alone," she said.
"She's pretty damn big for a wolf, don'tcha think?" he said.
"Yeah I realized that when she was a year old. When I saw more of the wolves around the area where I found her, I saw they were all like that. They were all so much bigger than normal wolves. Legends from medieval times tell of animals that were larger, smarter, faster, and more evolved than other animals. They called them 'Royal' animals. There were Royal Wolves, Bears, Falcons, Rabbits, Deer. You name it, it came in this 'Royal' race. According to legend, they all died when people found them. Since they were bigger, people hunted them for more meat. Some were still recorded to have survived, and I think Agrona is one of those 'Royal Wolves'" she said. Odd stared wide-eyed at her.
"Wow..." he said. "Anyway, where is this Shadow?" Amaya bent down and picked a black lump up off the mattress.
"Here he is. He's fat and lazy now since we had breakfast this morning," she said, cuddling the black cat against her chin.
"What did you have for breakfast?"
"A rabbit. Don't worry, I cooked it over fire," she said when she saw the horrified look on Odd's face. He looked at the cat more closely.
"That's the cat I saw last night! And he ran off with that bag!" He said, pointing to the brown leather bag in the corner. Amaya put her hand over her mouth.
"Oh that was you guys?! Oh, I'm sorry I scared you! You must have thought I was some kind of Aborigine..." she said, laughing softly to herself.
"Not an Aborigine, just some crazy person who lived with a really big dog and a cat," Odd laughed.
"I'll get the rest of my stuff tomorrow. I have to go back to my grandfather's house and get it. I'll leave the door open so Agrona can come and go. She can take care of herself, can't you girl?" she asked the wolf, who barked in response. "See you tomorrow Ona," she said as she followed Odd out of the shed. With her cat in her arms, and Odd walking next to her, they made their way back to the school.
Well, there's chappie two! it's really late here so I'm going to go to bed or I might do a face-plant on my keyboard . R/R please! Byez! Oh I need heeeelp!!
