To say sorry for my last chapter taking so long (and for such a short one as well) i made this one extra long. I hope you enjoy it, here is Chapter 4
Review! (Please)
Chapter 4: Don't Pick On Little Girls.
Varn's P.O.V.
"Stop it!" I ran as fast as my legs could carry me so that I could reach them in time.
"Don't hurt her! Stop it right now!" Dill was cowering in a corner with one of the ninth graders towering over her cracking his knuckles. Dill was only in the second grade. She was a very small girl with brownie blond hair that had natural pink highlights. She always kept her hair tied up in a long plait that was kept together at the end by a cream hair band with pearl like things. She is only about 4ft tall, she is very small and sweet, but getting her angry can mean you will be in danger…as long as she's not scared out of her wits like she is now. I know that she is so frightened that she can't move, I can see it in the way she is pressed against the wall like a cornered mouse. Usually her eyes are filled with life and joy, sometimes even ager and fire, but it's not there now. The only thing I see is a helpless eight year old being picked on by a ninth grader.
The high-school boys name is Toney. He's a big, buff and violent prick. Always looking for some kindergartener to mess with and beat up. He must be at least ten feet tall with huge rugby player shoulders. (If you don't know what rugby is then you're probably American) Along with all the already frightening qualities listed above, is his cocky evil grin that makes people want to punch him more than fear him.
And me, well, I'm just a sixth grader at a puny five foot two. I'm long limbed and scrawny with no muscle. The only thing I've got going for me is that I'm a good swimmer. However I don't see how being able to swim fast helps much here, I'm totally useless on land. My brother, Jonathon, is the fastest runner I have ever seen and Undrae is an awesome fighter. Eva is amazing with animals and seems to be able to charm anyone and Flare is super agile. Then there's Ezmy, a wiz with magic tricks and she is the exact opposite of her younger sister, Drae. Ezmy absolutely hate violence where as Drae seems to thrive in it, I will admit that she happens to be the cause of a lot of it. Ezmy has a mouth as soothing as a river and can think on her feet. She knows the human mind and how it works, as well as how to manipulate it with fancy vocabulary. Undrae on the other hand, can't stand talking and prefers to resolve fights with fists instead of words. Her favourite quote is probably 'Actions speak loader than words' since she says it all the time, especially when people ask her why she 'beat that guy up' when she could have just talked to him. I'm in the middle with my brother, Flare and Eva. We all enjoy fighting but often choose to try and talk our way out first. Who would have thought relatives could all be so different.
I should probably get back to the whole 'Toney is about to maul Dill' problem.
So it's scrawny, no good on land, little me against giant, crazy man, Toney. How this is going to turn out is obvious but I feel like I have to try something to help Dill.
I can feel the muscles in my legs protesting at my speed, but I have to help. I stop in-between Dill and Toney so that he can't get a direct hut on her while I'm still standing. If he wants to hurt Dill then he has to go through me first… even though it won't take him much time. Hopefully it will be enough time for Dill to get away while he's busy pummelling me.
"Get out of the way dumbass, or you're goanna get squashed." Toney was practically growling.
"Fine, but don't hurt Dill. She didn't do anything wrong." I stood as still as I could while trying to stop my body from shaking. He started to glare at me and took one slow, menacing, step closer. I could feel Dill cringe behind me and felt my anger start to rise.
"Don't hurt her." My voice sounded stronger than I could have ever hoped for in my fearful state.
"Aww, does little blue boy have a crush on Pinkie?" he was teasing me but I wasn't going to let it go to my head like Drae did. But when he said 'blue boy' I got me just a bit mad. 'Blue boy' is a nickname I've had since preschool. I got it from my unnatural natural hair colouring. Yes, yes, I know. That was an extremely contradictory statement. The thing is that it's true. My natural hair colour is blue. That in itself makes me seem a bit like an alien.
I had gotten used to my friends calling me blue boy but when this dude I barely knew called me that, it made me a bit upset. My family and I all think it has to do with us being able to transform. Luckily, not many of us have that problem. Flare has bright red hair, but that's still natural, not common, but natural. It's really just me and Ezmy. Ezmy's hair is a purple colour but she doesn't get mocked much because people seem to respect her. Dills hair is also natural, even the pink highlights. I didn't mind the names but Dill didn't deserve it.
"No, I don't have a crush on her, but she is my friend. She doesn't even need to be a friend to me for me to protect her from self-centred pricks like you." I could feel rage boiling inside my gut, trying to get out.
I could feel my messy hair becoming spiky and almost ordered. I could imagine it looking like one of those lizards who try to look bigger than they really are… I guess that's kind of what I'm doing now. I could my skin tingle as if it was being pricked with thousands of small needles, but it wasn't painful. The pricks all moved towards my two wrists. I knew what was happening and I embraced it.
Undrae and I seem to be the only ones who can't activate a transformation freely. it also is more difficult for us to change back. I think that if she wanted to she could transform but she seems to hate her other form. Even after all the problems it causes, our families little problem has its upsides. Whenever we change, we become more agile, stronger and faster. But even if I were to be transformed, I don't think I would be strong enough to take out the ten foot monster in front of me. My only hope is that he becomes so surprised when my ears and tail comes, that he lets down his guard and I can land a punch. Then I'll just pray that Dill is a fast runner.
"If you won't get out f the way, fine. I guess I will just have to move you myself." Toney took another step towards us and I could hear Dill let out a small whimper. My rage grew to an almost uncontrollable level. I could feel the tingling where my ears and tail would come out.
A different voice came from the left.
"You guys should stop messing around before everybody gets in trouble." I recognised the voice immediately. Her voice was calm yet deadly. I'm surprised, she must have been there for a while yet didn't step in. One thought went through my mind.
'Thank god, it's Unadrae.'
Who would have thought I would be so glad to see Drae of all people. Undrae is just what I need to stay out of hospital since she is known all over the school for being a tough fighter.
All our heads snapped in her direction. She was leaning casually against the wall with her arms crossed. I got a huge surprise. I could see scratches and bruises showing through her 'Death God' outfit. That wasn't the thing that surmised me. No, it was the fact that her ears and tail were out and her birthmarks were glowing. Even the one on her leg. I've never seen it do that before.
I felt my hot rage dwindle and with it the tingling where my ears and tail grow.
"So, are you going to stop terrorising people a quarter of your size or not?" Her voice was casual but cold. I heard this voice a few times; she was just itching for a fight.
She pushed herself of the wall and unfolded her arms as she strolled over to us, stopping a few feet away. When she's this calm it's actually scary, usually she's short tempered and doesn't speak. She is being very talkative; this is probably the most I've ever heard her say at one time.
"Why would I stop? Do you think that you're scaring me because I can tell you that it's not working." Toney doesn't know what he's getting himself into. Making Undrae angry is the worst possible fate. Drae is a fierce fighter and if you fight her you'll end up in the sick bay for the rest of the day and then stay bedridden for another day or two with a lot of bruises and a possible fracture. If you get her angry, a lot worse would happen. Instead of the sick bay, you'll end up in hospital for a week and you will come back to school with a cast. Since she's transformed she becomes a lot stronger. After you fight her you would end up ICU for a week and spend the rest of the month in hospital. Instead of the cast and crutches you would come back to school with a wheelchair. Ouch.
I have a strong feeling this is going to get interesting.
And that was my long chapter for the time being. I might make the next one long as well but I just need to wait and see... Oh, and on the comment above about 'getting my insperation back', well... I kinda lost it. I just hope it doesn't take a month to return.
Untill next time, See Ya :P
