Chapter 1
A Stab in the Dark
Ideas of the Future
Neko: Well, I decided to get chapter 1 up quickly, since Star reviewed in the first day. Besides, I really like this story.
Star: It kind of should be. You don't know Tanya and Ayume very well. You'll get to know them as the story goes on, such as the fact that she is Tancred's ½ sister. No, I haven't read the new book. I can't find it! I'll probably get it over the summer.
AyanamiEraclea: XP Then why did you subscribe to it? I have my ways of tracking it, you know.
On with the cappie! Note: The song is "I'm with you," by Avril Lavingne.
Tanya stood in the upper music wing. She held the Violin under her chin, and sighed. She strummed the instrument with her bow. She paused, and removed both of her hands, letting the instrument hang in mid air, using her telekinesis to hold it there. Still without her hands, she smiled, and turned, putting them back in the case, and left the room, finally taking the handle.
I'm
standing on a bridge
I'm waiting in the dark
I thought that
you'd be here by now
Manfred stood at the bottom of the stairs, "You were almost late. The drama bus is going to be here soon."
Tanya rolled her eyes, and her blond hair flew up, and then back down, as if caught in a sudden gust of wind, "Whatever."
Manfred ruffled her hair, "I expected that."
Tanya threw one of her arms around his shoulder, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Never you mind."
Tanya kissed his cheek, "Sure. I'll see you at snack time," and with that, she disappeared into the drama room, just ahead of the crowd.
There's
nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening
but there's no sound
Ayume stood inside of the room, leaning against one of the few spots of empty wall, "Hey, I think I know what happened last night."
Tanya stood in front of her, arms crossed, head cocked in a curious manner, "Do tell."
"The queen."
"Yeah, right."
"No, really! The queens name was Benenice. B! It may have been her heart, and her mare!" Ayume said.
Tanya roller her eyes, "As much as I resent Asa, I don't think he'd screw up so much."
Ayume swiftly walked out of the room, without another word.
Isn't
anyone trying to find me?
Won't somebody come take me home
it's
a damn cold night
Tanya stood in front of her class. She liked wherein her costumes, so today she was wherein fangs, and pale makeup. A lot of her students were staring at her as they entered the class room. She smirked.
"Welcome, class," she said, addressing the startled students, "yes, I will be looking like this almost everyday. Not exactly, though. My vampire outfit is just for today, seeing as I'm wherein a black cape for the first time.
Trying
to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me
somewhere new
The kids raised their eyebrows, and some of them looked confused. Tanya smiled, "I will allow you to wear whatever you want, as long as you think I would wear it."
"You mean nothing pink?" one of the girls asked.
Tanya's smiled widened, "You catch on quick."
One of the boys laughed, "Don't worry about me, then."
Tanya ignored the smart aleck, and walked to the chalk board, writing "IMPROVATION," in huge letters. "As you know, this is improv class. I am your teacher, Miss Torsson. If you think the name sounds familiar, then you know my younger brother, Tancred, who is a third year. You don't want to get me mad. I am endowed. I'm telekinetic, and show my feelings through the weather. I may deliver a punishment worse than detention if you upset me. I'll make detention look like a reward."
I
don't know who you are
but I... I'm with you
I'm looking for a place
One of the girls raised her hand in the air, "Aren't you Manfred Bloor's girlfriend?"
Tanya growled, unhappily, "How do you know this?" she snapped.
The girl lowered her head, "I was just guessing. You look like you'd be cute with him."
Tanya's expression softened, buy just slightly, "The next person to who asks about my love life will be an example to the class about what happens with you make me mad," with that, her hair flew up, slightly, as if in an invisible breeze.
At the shocked looks on her students' faces, she smirked, "That's just a taste of my power."
Searching
for a face
is anybody here I know
cause nothings going right
Tanya passed out the different, random, objects. Some were things such as spatulas, cat food, bells, and even a pack of bird feathers. She strolled back to the front of the class, and split everyone into groups of 3, "Now, you must make a play that lasts 2 minutes, using all 3 objects."
Tanya watched, and remembered her first improv class. She had done the same exercise. She was in a group with Zelda and Manfred. They had done a play about a spatula man from planet water bottle, who saved the chopstick queen.
And
everything's a mess
and no one likes to be alone
Isn't anyone trying to find me?
Tanya walked to Manfred's office after class. She touched the knot in the wall, and walked in on Manfred, who was looking at pictures. He looked surprised, and put down the pictures he was looking at. "Oh, Tanya! I wasn't expecting you! I thought you had class!
Tanya sat down in the chair across from him. "Class has been done for ½ and hour, if you weren't paying attention."
Manfred handed the pictures he had been looking at to Tanya. "These are the pictures of the de Greys we are showing Billy. Think he'll get any ideas?"
Won't
somebody come take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to
figure out this life
Tanya set the pictures down. "They're fine," she looked at her watch. "Gotta run. Class in an hour." She leaned across the table, and kissed him.
Won't
you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know
who you are
but I... I'm with you
Neko: That was just really introduction of Tanya. Now you get who she is.
Afterthoughts: I changed this chapter a lot.
