CHAPTER TWO-Sonnet's Story
Noah sat on a bench in the shuttle port, waiting for Sonnet's shuttle to come in. The gentle dino looked at his comport in disbelief, Sonnet's shuttle was surprisingly on time, a rare occasion.
Noah walked to the baggage claim, where he saw Sonnet. He's seen her in pictures before, and now he was seeing the real thing.
He stared at a young girl, about 12 years old, walking with a pair of dark sunglasses protecting her pale blue eyes from the bright fluorescent lighting. Sonnet is a spunky girl, dawning a pair of blue jeans and a purple tube top. She was dragging her big bag chock full of the belongings she managed to save from the pinkers. She looked around the baggage claim, spotted the cap wearing dinosaur and smiled.
"Noah, is that you?" she asked as she approached the t-rex.
'How'd you manage to find me in this crowd, Sonnet? I thought you were blind." Noah giggled at the spunky pre teen.
"I can see shadows in this kind of light, silly. And of course, I can spot a dinosaur in a crowd full of people." Sonnet joked as she walked next to Noah.
Sonnet had a visual impairment that left her eyes super sensitive to light. Te sunglasses keep her from going completely blind. Sonnet never wanted to admit her disability, in fear that people would treat her different. She hated being near a goofy, un-normal people "non humans included", in fear she'll never fit into the in crowd. She wasn't afraid of being seen with Noah. After all, Noah, even though he was out of the ordinary, was now her guardian, and her life rested in his claws.
Sonnet and Noah climbed into the hover craft and started to head for the apartment. On their way home, Sonnet noticed a little crayon drawing of Becky under her seat. After all, the seat as Geeker's seat most of the time.
"Awe, how cute is this?" Sonnet exclaimed as she stared at the picture. "Did my sister make this for her? I miss her so much."
"Nope. Sorry Sonnet." Noah explained to the little brunette. "That is the art of Geeker."
Sonnet looked in confusion. "Come again?"
"Geeker is a special friend of ours." Noah said, trying to explain to the tween without giving her many details. After all, Geeker was the reason behind her family's series of unfortunate events.
"Geeker is a special human we saved from Moloch. We keep him out of trouble. He's a bit stranger than some people."
Sonnet didn't like the way this was going. 'Is he retarded or something?"
"Not really." Noah said. "Geeker is a one of a kind guy who can do a lot of unusual stuff."
"Like what, Noh?" Sonnet asked as she turned to the dinosaur. " Can he fly/ Can he do magic? Magic shows are so darn cool, man. You've ever been to one, Noah?"
Noah laughed. "Honey, our life is one big magic show." He said. "Geeker can do a lot of stuff, like turn himself into a pile of goo."
"K-O-O-L, cool.!" Sonnet shouted. Noah stopped the car and stared at Sonnet. Sonnet shrugged her shoulders in a questionable way.
"What'd I do?" asked Sonnet.
"Do you say that often?" Noah asked, since Geeker is the only one he has known to say that phrase.
"Not really, I don't know where that came from." Sonnet said. She's never said that before in her life, let alone spell cool with a K.
Something was happening to Sonnet on the inside. Somehow, she was picking up vibes from Geeker. Vibes that would make her life into one big adventure.
