KK, I'm done! Can you believe it my dad told me that doing the dishes was more important then my story! he is a crazy man! And my friend Jayden said hi by the way, he also said that all of were weirdo's, and deserved to soak in cucumber juice, I seriously have NO idea why I'm friends with him... but anyway,
DISCLAIMER: Worlds and other awesomeness belongs to our considerate author Julie Kagawa, but other amazingness such as Aiden, Alexis,Aiden, yeah those people belong to MWAA!
Well read on, my cucumber soaked weirdo's, read on.
As we neared our house the boys slowed a little as if they were dreading this mission.
"Hey guys I need to call Grace and tell her we are going on vacation, you should call Leo," I nodded at Aiden who was walking on my left.
"You should tell Grace, that you're like immortal assassin faeries," Aiden said making his point by slashing some invisible enemies with an imaginary sword.
"As much as I love Grace, she can't keep her mouth shut, and anyway I like it just the three of us." I draped my long arms around my best friends (even if one was my brother, he was still my best friend) "The Three Musketeers" I said wistfully, as we reached the driveway, and the bush rustled.
"Ahh Shit!" a wounded voice called from the shrubbery. I grabbed at the air at my hip and drew my deadly sword. Ice cold steel that froze anything it touched, with a wichwood hilt that pulsed in my hand. I approached the thorn bush, which led right to the Summer Court (if you knew how to navigate the tunnels) and parted the branches with a silent command.
Lying in the center was a boy whose body had black barbs sticking out from all angles. He slowly raised his face, indigo eyes clouded with shame.
"Hi sweet cheeks," he muttered.
"Well well, if it isn't the famous Jason Blake from Alaska," I said sheathing my sword and cocking my hip. "To whom do I owe the pleasure of being stalked of wonder boy himself?"
As he stood up he picked out a few thorns and blushed hard but said "Eh what can I say? I was in the neighborhood, and I decided stop in and see if you were home, but your idiot guard dogs almost killed me." He was trying to hide the nervousness but I could tell, for a scary second I thought he saw my sword, but soon thought better of it he was definitely mortal the glamour would have covered it.
"My dogs? Oh you mean Yepa and Elliot, Lupos Heel!" The two wolves shoot out the house and circled around my feet. Jason jumped back as Yepa barked at him, straight into the thorn bush. I stifled a giggle and called Yepa back. "Princess, Mitescere," Yepa growled at the back of her throat but came and lay at my feet cleaning her paw. "Milady! I don't trust this man! He smells of winter!"
"Well no dib, Yepa he's from Alaska,"
"Did…did you just talk to that thing?" I shot a death glare at him.
"That thing has a name, Ass." Aiden said as he came up behind me placing a protective hand on my shoulder. I laughed so hard that Jason stared at me as if I'd lost my hat.
"Jason… mea…means… Donkey… back…of don…donkey called… ass..." I managed to stutter out in between my laughs. I doubled over and finally regained my breath. "Okay now that we have made introductions, let's get those thorns out of you shall we?"
"WHAT!? Alexis, you can't let him in."
"And why not?"
"Uhh… because… umm"
"that's what I thought, now come on Wonder boy." I lead the way up the driveway to the open garage, Yepa and El nipping at his heals as he scampered after me, Aiden bringing up the rear shuffling and muttering to himself. I pulled Jason into the kitchen and sat him in a chair, as soon as I turned my back to grab the first aid kit my smile faded. God I hate being nice! I went to grab the paper nurses hat I wear when the boys need healing force of habit I guess but snatched my own hand away; I don't have to be that nice. When I turned back around Aiden glanced at my head and a smile crept on his lips.
"Okay now this is going to hurt A LOT,"
"Blunt are you?" I smiled a real smile.
"Sugarcoating is just deception in pretty packaging" (A/N anyone know where that's from? Sorry Christiania I changed your saying up a bit… but only one word)
"I believe the quote is 'Politeness is just deception in pretty packaging' but suit yourself" I started at him in disbelief.
"You've read Divergent? No way,"
"Way, I thought it was pretty good, but this is definitely the first time I've used book quotes to impress a girl." I blushed, and heard three deep growls from the corner. Yepa and Elliot looked about to pounce and Aiden was staring at us with his hand on the drawer handle that held our emergency weapons. I quickly turned and pulled out thorn by thorn in Jason's arm moving so fast he barely yelped before the next one was out. Soon Wonder Boy was de-thorn-ified.
"There you go healer, time to go home, I have stuff to do."
"No time for me?"
"Nope, I've already wasted enough time, Aiden and I need to take his little sister to the park, you know like make sure she stays out of trouble and stuff like that."
"Oh okay," I walked him to the door and walked back into the kitchen where Aiden was leaning against the counter staring at me intently with his clover eyes.
"What?" I asked defensively
"Nothing," he shook his head and pushed off the counter, I grabbed his wrist.
"Hey, what's wrong?" I brought up my other hand and guided his chin up so he was down looking at me, only by two inches though. "Talk to me little fire, what's wrong?"
"I hate when you call me that,"
"why it's what your name means"
"yeah I know but,"
"Shh come on Fiery one, we must get ready for our trip" I traced my finger down his jawbone and glided out of the room, slipping up the stairs and into my room.
My room was a mess. The walls were painted with different places from the Nevernever; there were pictures of Aiden and me all over them. I walked over to my wall with pictures of my family on it, I plucked off a picture of my dad and I dueling from when I was little, my wooden sword aimed at his chest I knew now that he had let me win but it still warmed my heart. I put it back on the wall and stared at one of me and Kieran messing around with uncle P. His hair was still black in this picture, even though it's turning blonde in real life. I flopped on my bed and gazed up at the drawings me and Stacey drew. There was one of my sword and one of some people kissing in formal clothes; she said they were how I would look on my wedding day, she wouldn't tell me who I was marrying though.
"Wow it's been a while since I've seen this room in daylight," came a voice from the doorway. I sat up and looked at my best friend. "There are a lot of pictures of me in here." He said cockily.
"I only have a couple friends, so there are a lot of pictures of all of them." He stared at my celling.
"Did you draw all of these?"
"Nah, most of them but Stacey drew some to," I stood on my bed kicking away some clothes, "like this one, though she won't tell me who I'm kissing." Aiden looked at where I'm pointing and frowned, but very quickly smiling again. I decided to change the subject. "Do you have a suitcase?" he shook his head. "Okay good 'cuz you can't bring one anyway" I jumped off my bed and went to my closet. I flung open the doors and pulled a couple shirts out and tossed them at Aiden. "Those are yours," I rummaged further and chucked some jeans at him. "Those too," I searched a little more and found some skinny jeans and threw them past Aiden on to my bed some shirts soon followed.
"How did you have these?" I blushed a little I didn't want to tell him that I liked to sleep in his shirts because that just plain weird but they are comfortable.
"You must have left them here or something."
"Uhh okay," he sounded uneasy "do you happen to have any of my boxers too?" I laughed.
"No, but Kieran probably does. You know because of your gay tendencies."
"You missy have a dirty mind," I smirked.
"Indeed I do, now go get your stuff from Kieran." He walked out of the room leaving me to pack the rest of my stuff. I snatched some socks and underwear from my dresser, shoving them into my backpack with all the pins from various places pined all over it. I looked around and ripped off the picture of me kissing someone and folded it carefully, maybe Stacey would tell me now that I saved her life. I looked around the room and picked up my daggers zipping them into the side pocket, along with a pair of brass knuckles. When I got to shoes I stopped debating whether I should wear sneakers of boots. I finally decided on a pair of sneakers that came up to my knees, and shot down the stairs.
Kieran and Aiden were waiting for me.
"Did you guys pack any food yet?" a guilty look passed over their faces; I rolled my eyes at them "who am I kidding, of course you didn't," I slung my pack over my shoulder and walked into the kitchen with the boys trailing behind me. We packed some beef jerky, protein bars, and bags of chips slipping a couple bottles of water in their too. When we were done we equipped ourselves with emergency daggers and knives hidden in various places.
"I can't believe we are doing this," my twin said as I helped him into his double sword scabbards slung across his back.
"We'll be fine,"
"Yeah I know but mom said,"
"Oh don't be such a mama's boy" I teased
"are we ready? Oh Lex can I take this bow?" Aiden's voice called from the shed.
"Yeah, come on Keri," I responded pulling my brother behind me. In the shed I handed out gloves and animal pelt coats, put a hat and a scarf on Aiden and made sure he had on double socks.
"Yes mom, I'll be warm enough," he grinned at me sarcastically. I punched him in the shoulder.
"Alright then let's go, Lupos heel." The two winter wolves loped out and nudged my hands. "Good wolves," I started out with Yepa and Aiden beside me and Kieran and his pet behind us.
We got to the frost covered arch and I blew and icy breath into it, making the winter realm appear through the trod, Kieran and I spoke at the same time, "Ladies and canines Welcome to Tir Na Nog. Land of endless winter and shitloads of snow."
Don't you just love my ending?, and yes I meant to say ladies, because as you saw before Kieran and Aiden were teasing each other about being gay, soooo yeah, well anyway HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!3!
Oreo Out, CHIPMUNK SMILE :3
