7. Learn About Us
Dealing with adult life, the loss of parents, friends falling out, injuries and hurt is all hard to bare. Add tests and the growing age of sixth form and Daemon Heights is what your outcome is. The Bandits and the Demolition Boys are all going through hell at 'Hell Hole Heights' and dealing with it differently. Will they get over their pasts, graduate and find love, or will the trash can at the bottom of the road be easier for them? Its not easier being 18 and hiding things from your friends is not the option you can take without digging yourself further into your deep secrets and pasts. Mostly Kai/OC, lots of OC/OC and implied Ray/Mariah and Tyson/Hilary.
Disclaimer: I only own the Triagons, Cassy, Elisa, Sabre, Leo, The Bandits, The town, the Mansions, Dojos, Houses, Horses, other Animals, Bit-beasts and Daemon Heights along with all the teachers and different people you have never heard of before virtually…I own a gold mine. The plots mine too.
Kai Pheonica Well, thanks for the idea anyway. And I guess you'll find out what it is but it should blend in with the story. It is something to do with Whisper as my version of Kat getting him (that just gave it away really) was really boring (my new idea probably won't be any better) but you got me to change it even if it was unintentional. Thanks for reviewing again.
Jumping into the black Lotus Motorsport again Kat quickly buckled up and drove quickly along the driveway, grit and gravel spraying dangerously behind them.
''Mum won't mind Kat, honestly, you can slow down.'' Ry said griping at the doors armrest. Kat sighed and slowed.
''Sorry, I'm just a bit paranoid with missing times and such, even if I can't keep them. Apparently I get it from mum.'' She said. Ry nodded and they sat in silence until they entered the town again, leaving the quiet outer streets and country lanes behind them.
''So where do you live Ry, and please don't say it's in one of the houses back there.'' Kat said hopefully. Ry smirked.
''Yeah it is Kat, you missed my turning damn you.'' She joked. Kat smirked and relaxed a bit more. ''No, it on the other side of town. Auburn Street, you know it?'' Kat nodded.
''I love that street, honestly, we were going to buy a house from there when we moved, then we got insurance through and brought Moor Mansion instead, did it up and there it is.'' Kat said.
''What did it used to be like?'' Ry asked.
''A hunted mansion virtually. No-one had lived in it for years.'' Kat said driving along the high street. It was still as light as mid day outside even if it was almost half past eight at night.
''Kat?'' Ry began. Kat glanced at her.
''Yeah Ry?''
''Where did you learn to sing like that, it was amazing?'' Ry said. Kat smiled.
''I inherited that as well I guess.'' She said quietly. ''I didn't think I was that good; I just do backing with Caz and Leo. Not main vocals or main backing.'' Kat said.
''You are good, Kat. I'm surprised you don't sing more songs as main vocals.'' Ry said. Kat smirked and turned off of the high street.
''Thanks Ry.'' She said. ''Sabres good though, he used to sing for a living in restaurants and bars and stuff to get money, so we just let him sing for entertainment now.'' Ry paused
''Can you tell me about the Bandits, about their pasts?'' Kat sighed and nodded.
''I'll tell you, it's only fair that you know. You are a Bandit now, you may as well know your team.'' She said earning a smile from the other teen. ''Well, you know about me already, I used to live up in the midlands near by to my Grandparents that were still alive. When mum and dad were murdered we moved down here and brought Moor Mansion. We were told to change our identities too but I didn't.''
''Did your brothers?'' Ry asked wondering what Kat's brothers could have been called. Kat nodded.
''Yeah, Ty didn't but Pheno and Fly did. That's why their names are more like nicknames that human names now. Fly's old name used to be Felix and Pheno's before he became Phoenix was Theodore.'' Kat chuckled. ''Don't let that out though, Theo at school might get mocked a bit. Real name being Theodore and his nickname being Phoenix.'' She said. Ry nodded then realising that they shared the same name. Too much training had made her slow thinking. ''I'm just plain Kat Amber Triagon still though. (It's K A T again, ) I didn't want to change who I was, I'm not scared that those murders will come after me, and even if they did I'd still be able to put up a fight.'' She said. ''That's why I persuaded Ty to let us keep our second name, it's unique to us and us alone. I think anyway.'' She finished adjusting her hands on the steering wheel.
''Now, our pasts. Elisa's Mother you know died of Cancer when she was about two. Her father was so desperate and lonely he just ran. We think he's probably dead by now but were not sure. He might come back someday. So anyway, Elisa lives with her Grandfather, who used to live in Japan, now. So that's why they live in a Dojo.''
''So that's how she knows martial arts.'' Ry said. Kat nodded.
''I learn a bit from the old man, Hito Tracy, sometimes too.'' She admitted. ''Now, Sabre has always been an orphan, no-one claimed him from the orphanage since his parents dumped him there, or on the streets outside of it anyway. He's a bit of a street child and knows the roughest places in the country like the back of his hand. He's travelled a lot over the years, made friends all over the place, but has decided to settle here. People tried to adopt him but he was too ruthless so they just left him. A good ten years ago he just ran from the orphanage and lived, 'wild', shall we put it. He's got an apartment in the town to himself now with social services money until he's got a job or leaves school, and he aint planning on getting a job anytime soon because of it and he's got another school year yet.'' Kat explained smirking. Ry laughed.
''Now, Cassy's parents split up some years ago, before even I moved down here. Her Dad went to Australia and remarried, Cassy's now got a little brother who I think is about 12 now, call Terri from her real mum and her new husband and a half sister who's about 26 called Kira.'' Kat said.
''Leo's parents are forever arguing and falling out, I'm really surprised that they haven't divorced yet, even Leo is, but he isn't stuck up like his parents as you know, he's naive, clueless, carefree and a right laugh too. He's the only child in his house so just puts up with it and then lets it all out during blading sessions with us, he relies a lot on Caz too, for support and someone to talk to cause to be honest me, Sabre and Elisa are right grouches most of the time.'' She admitted. Ry nodded and Kat looked mock hurt.
''Hey, that's just low. You're meant to say I'm not.'' Kat joked. Ry shook her head. ''Fine.'' Kat said mock hurt and huffed whilst she drove.
''Hey, you're not really, Kat.'' Ry said. Kat immediately brightened up.
''Thanks Ry.'' She said.
''No problem. So, Leo and Cassy. Are those two going out?'' Ry asked. Kat laughed.
''No, how did you guess?'' She said sarcastically. ''Those two are all over each other most of the time, I think after not seeing each other for a while over the holidays has made them move back a bit but their still fine. Sabre and Elisa are the same, except they get a room first.'' Kat laughed. Ry blushed slightly.
''How do you put up with it?'' She asked. Kat paused.
''You stay single as long as possible and try and live with it. If not you walk off and get voodoo dolls made of them and use them as target practise for blading.'' Kat said laughing evilly. ''Me and Whisper enjoy that a lot. Or you embarrass them, Leo and Caz will blush at anything if you say it, Sabre will just tell you to shut it and walk off with Elisa.'' Kat said.
''Number?''
''Err, what?''
''House number?'' Kat said. Ry nodded.
''Oh, 21, just along here.'' She pointed to the well build and grand houses. Kat nodded and continued to drive.
''So Kat, you like anyone?'' Kat groaned. Ry had to say that. They were on the subject and she wanted to know from Kat herself that she liked Kai. Otherwise Kat may not like her if the black haired girl knew and wasn't even told by her from the one that had these feelings.
''Not you too Ry. Cassy and Elisa are always at my neck for answers like that. And it takes them hours of bribery to get an answer too.'' She said pulling up out side number 21. It looked nice, quiet big, especially for only two people, with a steep front garden of grass and flowers with steps leading to the front door covered by a open porch lined with pots full of more colourful summer plants. Kat knew for a fact that the front was the worse part of the house; the inside and the back garden were both huge and spacious to make up for it, very desirable.
''And right now, you've got two seconds.'' She smirked finally. Ry smirked herself and got out the car.
''Come in a minute Kat, mum will probably want to meet you.''
''No, I don't want to impose.''
''You can't impose if you're being invited.'' Kat paused and turned off the engine.
''Damn.'' Ry just laughed.
''Are you sure you don't want any tea and biscuits dear?'' Kat shook her head at the short black haired woman who beamed at her. She had a kind looking face and was just shorter than her daughter. Her hair was shoulder length, which, in comparison to Ry's long below the waist length hair, was pretty short.
''No thank you Mrs Mayaga, I really must be getting home.'' Kat replied politely. Mrs Mayaga shook her head.
''Very well, but please, call me Rita.'' She said. Kat nodded.
''Thanks for the offer though Rita.'' She said smiling. Ry sat in the sofa across from the sofa Kat sat in. Rita stood above the after mentioned trying to persuade her to take a biscuit from the plate she held before the Triagon left.
''Mum, leave Kat alone, if she doesn't want to eat she doesn't have to.'' Ry said smiling. Rita turned her green eyes onto her daughters brown ones.
''Fine, Ry dear. I best be getting back to my work. It was nice meeting you Kat, I'm sorry for being so preoccupied but I'm really close to my dead line.'' She said placing her plate of biscuits on the coffee table in between the two sofas. Kat and Ry watched her leave the room.
''I'm sorry for that Kat.''
''No worries. What does your mum do anyway?'' Kat asked turning back to the girl and sneaking a biscuit off the table and into her mouth.
''She's a part time author as well as now working for an electronics company around here. I thought you didn't want any biscuits?'' Ry raised an eyebrow. Kat swallowed and smiled.
''Can't turn down free food when no-ones looking can I?'' She smirked. ''Now, what company does she work for? It wouldn't be Tri Electronics would it?'' Kat asked. Ry nodded
''Yeah it is. How did you…?''
''Ty runs that company, Tri, Triagon. See?'' Kat said. Ry thought before nodding.
''Yeah, I get it now. Well, that's quiet strange.''
''Tell me about it, most of the town works for my brother, I feel like some sort of modern day princess.'' Kat joked. Ry smirked.
''Your house is big enough to be a palace.'' She said. Kat nodded
''I suppose it is. Now, I must be going, it's just gone nine and I suspect Ty's been cooking again, in which case I have to go and clean up the mess.'' Kat said getting up. Ry followed her to the door. Ry paused when she saw Kat look up at one of the pictures in the hallway.
''That's me and my father.'' She said pointing to one of her and her father sitting upon smaller quarter horses at the ranch in America they used to visit. Her dad was a tall man, which she had inherited, and had short cut black hair and caring brown eyes. He smiled at the camera as did Ry.
''He looks a bit like my dad.'' Kat said, her voice soft and quiet and full of wonder.
''Do you have any pictures of your parents?'' Ry asked quietly, it was hard looking at him after seeing him lowered to the ground a few weeks earlier; she felt her eyes begin to water. Kat nodded.
''Next time you come over, I'll show you them maybe.'' She said and turned for the door; opening it she stepped out into the warm air.
''It was nice blading with you today though Kat. I'll see you at school tomorrow.'' Ry called as Kat walked down the garden path.
''Will do Ry, bye then.'' She called back over her shoulder as she got into the car and waved before driving off. Ry waved back.
''She's not too bad is she?''
''Wha…don't do that mum.'' Ry said closing the door as she turned to her mum in the hallway. Her eyes now totally dry again, the shock had got rid of her sadness; she had to get over it. Her mum smiled.
''Sorry dear. That Kat girl, she seems nice doesn't she, carefree.'' Rita said. Ry sighed.
''She acts it but for what I know inside she isn't.'' She said.
''What do you mean dear?'' Rita asked. Ry sighed and explained about the Bandits pasts. ''That's awful. Poor dears.'' Was the reply ending Rys explanation, the girl could see that her mother didn't look too happy right now, her eyes were dull, she'd awakened memories again.
''But mum, they don't show it at all. Yeah, they're troubled; they're not the only ones even if their troubles are bigger than others. They just get on with life and enjoy it.'' Ry said. Rita nodded.
''Now, I really must finish this chapter. Tea's in the fridge if you want any. At least you had a good first day at school.'' Rita said kissing her daughters forehead before walking away.
Yeah school was good today. I'm in a team now; I'm a Black Bandit. I found out that not everyone who is meant to bite actually does and I've made at least five new friends. I now know that Status means nothing. Even new people can fit right in straight away instead of being an outcast. Ry thought blissfully. It couldn't have been better. She walked into the kitchen to get dinner. It was great.
''What have you guys got next?'' Theo asked pulling his bag out of the locker. Lunch break had just ended and now everyone was packed into the busy corridors to get to lesson.
''Sixth form Drama. Most of our day is spent together you know.'' Tala said. Theo nodded.
''Well I've got Drama too so that proves your 'day together' theory.'' Theo said closing his locker and slinging it on his shoulder. Turning around he saw the Bandits walk by.
''Hey guys, I'm going to go and speak to Ry, you ok with that?'' He asked.
''Ohhh, we have some more chemistry between a Demolition Boy and a female member of the Bandits going on, well, friend of the Bandits at least.'' Tala said, closing his locker. Behind him Kai growled. Theo paused, trying to hide his blush.
''Huh? One, I don't like Ry like that and two, who's the other one?'' Theo asked. Spencer laughed.
''It's Kai and…'' Kais hand was now firmly over his mouth and nose.
''One more word...'' He said quietly, his crimson eyes ablaze. Spencer nodded.
''Kai, its best that you don't kill him. He's a pain in the ass but needs to live too.'' Bryan spoke. Kai looked at the lilac haired boy and nodded letting Spencer go who glared at him as he turned his back.
''Kai and who?'' Theo asked. Kai glared at him and Theo whimpered.
''To Drama we go then.'' Ian said as Theo ran after the Bandits to safety.
''Hey Ry, wait up.'' Ry turned at her name and hung back as the team stopped too. She noticed Theo running towards her.
''Hey Theo.'' She greeted.
''Hey.'' He said catching up with them. Behind him the Bandits could see the Demolition Boys walking through the crowd towards them yelling at the little kids to hurry up and get to lesson. ''So, how's school been treating you?'' He asked.
''I'm almost dying of boredom but apart from that you are now looking at another Bandit.'' She said proudly.
''Yeah, you use your new name to claim fame sister.'' Cassy said like some hyper kid. Theo looked slightly confused.
''Is she on drugs?'' He asked.
''Dunno, she runs off so much.'' Elisa said.
''I think she just found some sweets in my car and ate them all when I picked her up this morning, they were probably way out of date too.'' Leo said looking at his girlfriend strangely. Cassy just glared at him with crossed arms.
''I am NOT on drugs…or out of date sweets for that matter.'' She insisted.
''Anyway.'' Theo said looking at her strangely before changing the subject. ''Congrats on the team joining Ry, but I'm a Demolition Boy now so I'll be kicking you ass soon.'' He said just as proudly as Ry had done. Behind him the rest of his team then gathered.
''So you've got a new recruit it seems Kai.'' Kat said looking up at the boys crimson eyes. He smirked and nodded at her proudly.
''You better be getting one yourself then Kitty.'' Tala said mockingly. The Bandits nearly all laughed.
''Already have.'' Leo said pointing to Ry who blushed. The Bandits and Demolition Boys laughed as Tala looked defeated for being wrong
''Yeah, she needs toughening up but she'll soon be kicking all of your asses as well as we all do now. She just needs to get tougher.'' Elisa said arrogantly. Ry looked mock hurt.
''Yeah, Kat's slave driving training regime will do it though.'' Cassy said. Kat glared at her.
''She is on drugs; she's saying stuff that most people would get pummelled for.'' Leo said.
''Yeah, she's lucky she needs both of her hands for band practise and her arms for blading.'' Kat said and smirked. ''Everything else I can brake though.'' She said evilly. Cassy faltered before backing off and running for the Drama hall. The Bandits laughed and followed with the Demolition Boys behind them.
(I don't have anything to say here other than REVIEW PLEASE, even if it was crappy (sulks))
