NEW PLACE
Abie walked up the street slouched and dragging her feet. Sweat is slithering down her cheek under the hot sun. It has been an half an hour of walking to their street, but to her and Ursa, its was hours uphill.
"I've never been so tired before in my entire life. I can't wait to take a cold shower." Just thinking about what awaits her makes her walk slightly faster.
"I agree. I'm going to drink gallons of water as soon as we get there. Not even the walk from the train half way through the desert to the gate was this bad! We should have taken a break, I told you…" Ursa sighed.
"What are you complaining about, you're a shadow, and you're not as hot as I am." Abie complained. She stopped to look back at the slip of paper again.
"I still have to follow you, smart one. Plus you~"
"Ursa, were here!" She cut off. They stood in front of a short house in between larger houses. It has a light grey tint and a red roof; there is one window on each side of its brown door. It seems as if two students could occupy this space.
"Gee, let's head inside right now!" Suddenly, Abie's shadow rose from the ground and grew to slightly higher then Abie. Then color began to spread out across the mass of grey and black. After this shift a young man wearing a black shirt, yellow vest and dark blue pants emerged. Ursa is very pale and almost matches his black and silver hair. There are two marks under his yellow eyes which have a hint of brown. On his forehead is another marking of a geometric figure that spans out to his eye lids and his mouth, which has an enlarged sharp tooth sticking out. Ursa took a big stretch followed by a run to the front door, "Hurry up! Were dying out here." He panted.
"Yeah, Yeah." Abie reached into her back pocket to get the front door key. But her fingers came out empty, as well with the other pockets. "Oh crap…" Abie cussed.
"No key?" Ursa said sadly.
"Quiet Ursa, you can go through to the other side." She rolled her eyes.
He didn't even respond, he went back into being a shadow and went under the door. Abie's shadow stretched from where she was standing. CLICK! Ursa opened the door from the other side and let Abie in.
"Thanks, now let's start unpacking. You take your stuff to that side of the place; I'll go on this side."
A huge pile of luggage lay in the center of the living room. She went and got two medium sized carry bags. Ursa did the same, they took a brief moment at looked at the living room~ left, right, up and down. There was a big brown couch, tan walls, and grey pillows. There was a small kitchen off to the right that had white tiled floor and stone counters, the dining table was wood with matching chairs .Almost like it was planned; they set of in different directions after this.
BACK HOME
Abie set foot into the bedroom, her footsteps echoed slightly from the emptiness. The bed was already made, a simple white color with green pillows await her head when it got darker. She threw her bags on the mattress and looked around some more.
The window was quite large, much so that she could sit on its rest and look onto the street. On the other far side off the room was a bookcase as tall as her, right next to it was a closet to put her clothes up on hangers. The light bulbs were up, infused with the ceiling. To Abie, this was the room she never had.
She opened up a side pouch and grabbed a picture frame, then placed it on a near by nightstand. It was a nice picture of her and Ursa in front of a house. This was their home before they secretly left for the DWMA. Her parents, Will and Josie Swarm, barely notice her since they are so busy with their jobs or something, as it seemed to Abie. Ever since she discovered Ursa within her, she has always wanted to become a meister to protect others from danger. But they didn't want her to leave home, she was even always home schooled, let alone become someone who faced danger for a grade. So she left with Ursa, Abie took a boat load of money, got her stuff and took off. In fact, if they don't get enrolled they are at a loss and must return home. These were her final thoughts before taking a new set of clothes to wash away her sweat and doubt in the shower.
Ursa stepped into his room, light shone in from the window similar to Abie's. His bed was grey and had red pillows that were laced in white. He also had a closet, book case, and night stands. In fact, you could say their rooms are almost identical. He walked over to his bedside and opened a tiny pocket in one of his bags, his hand fished out a small, green crystal. The light dove through its sides and thin, emerald green ribbons shot outwards to the walls. Ursa stood there soaking in all the light from the outdoors for a minute. Then he placed it on the bed, letting the light continue to travel.
The sound of a shower made him remember his dire need of water; he walked off to the kitchen.
