Circle Daybreak Preschool- Chapter 3
Thank you all for your amazing comments! I thank you a million thanks! Haha! Here is the next chapter I know at least two of you have been waiting anxiously for!
Jezebel Redfern was being shaken awake by her uncle.
"Why are you trying to get me up?" Jez whined, and her uncle would have never heard her without his vampire hearing.
"Jez, I'm taking you to preschool. Get up!"
Jez's usually blue and silver eyes went completely silver as she snapped them open. She slowly sat up, flaming hair falling in her face. "You are taking me where?" The four year old demanded, in a high-pitched voice she would soon out-grow.
Her uncle sighed. "Preschool. And Morgead's coming as well. Get up!" Her uncle carefully grabbed a firm hold on Jez's small body and pulled her from the covers. He set her down near the miniature dresser and handed her a pile of clothes.
Jez's hesitantly took the clothes and silently stalked to the bathroom. She was upset but comforted by the thought that Morgead was being dragged down with her.
When Jez came out of the bathroom, her uncle took her pale hand and led her out to his truck. "To Morgead's." He announced, cheerful because Jez was up and more corporative then he had expected.
Jezebel ran up the steps to the room where Morgead resided. "Morgead! Morgead! Wake up! Don't make me get a stake!" Jez pounded on the door. Her uncle rolled his eyes beside her, wondering how she got this violent.
The door was finally opened by a dark haired, sleepy lamia boy. "What do you want Jez? It's only ten minutes to nine!"
Jez explained the situation.
"Preschool! No way Jez! Absolutely not!" Morgead was almost yelling.
"Well I'm not going alone!"
"But you won't be alone! I'm sure you'll have plenty of your cousins there! Like James, Thea, Blaise, and Ash."
"Ash! Who wants to see Ash?" Jez scoffed and her uncle rolled his eyes once more.
"Just get ready Morgead. Please." Jez's uncle pleaded.
"Fine." Morgead grumbled, leaving the door to go get dressed.
When they were in the truck once more, Jezebel stared out the window wondering how her uncle could ever imprison her in such a horrible place when she could be running threw the forest and hunting the deer for fun, or even wading in a stream somewhere in the thick jungle of trees.
Her uncle picked up on her thoughts and tried not to laugh.
"We're here!"
"Oh, boy." Morgead muttered beside them.
They hopped out of the truck and Jez stared, appalled at the colorfulness of the building.
"Oh, Goddess." Morgead's expression was identical to her own.
"Come on! I will drag you two in by your hair if I have to!" Jez's uncle threatened lightly, but Jez clutched at her head nonetheless.
Once inside the building, Jez and Morgead were ushered into a room full of other children, Night Worlders and humans alike.
There were toys strewn everywhere and Jez bent to pick up a toy motorcycle, at her feet.
"This place is worse than the Underworld." Morgead said and Jez hit him with said (toy!) motorcycle.
Jez looked around and saw her cousin Blaise Harman sitting in a corner watching Thea and some other girls giggle and talk.
"Hey, Blaise." Jez said, sitting next to her.
"Get me out of here! Thea is getting more attention than me!" Blaise whined.
"Maybe that's because she's actually talking to people." Morgead said.
"And you aren't people?" Blaise asked. "But good idea!" Blaise jumped up and approached Thea and her group.
Jez watched with humor as Blaise tried to get into the group and started rolling her toy motorcycle back and forth, on the table.
"Aren't you supposed to be playing with dolls not motorcycles?" A voice asked.
Jez looked up to see Ash looking at the motorcycle with a mildly curious expression on his cute face.
Jez lifted the toy and chucked it at Ash's head. It would have hit him squarely in the face if he hadn't been a vampire.
He stalked away to a table of boys laughing at the scene mumbling, "It was just a question. Didn't have to throw it at me."
Morgead laughed. "I wish that had hit him."
"I wish we could get outta here."
Maggie Neely and her brother, Miles, were being dropped off at her preschool.
"This will be fun!" Maggie bounced up and down in her car seat on the way there, red curls bouncing.
She really believed that… Until she saw the group of kids.
There was quiet a variety of them and there was so many. And Maggie had the gut wrenching feeling that some of them were different.
Miles held her hand and walked with her into the room with all the others.
Miles gave her a small smile before going over to a table that consisted of all guys, leaving Maggie alone.
She decided to follow in her brothers footsteps, and went over to a circle of girls sitting on the multi-colored carpet.
"Hi. I'm Maggie. May I sit with you?" Maggie asked, looking down at the carpet.
"Sure! I'm Jade!" A small girl with pale, almost white, blond hair said excitedly.
Maggie sat down in between a dark haired girls with dark blue eyes and a girl with copper curls and green eyes. (Mare and Poppy)
"I command you to put me down this instant!" A boys voice declared from the doorway.
The room fell silent and everyone watched a dark haired boy with amber eyes and pale skin be set down in the open doorway.
"I demand you take me home!" The boy shouted.
"No. Now go have fun with you're cousins."
"I don't want to have fun! I want to go home!" The boy seemed to be complaining now.
"Good-bye, Delos. Have a good first day of preschool." The door was shutting.
"Can't I have a tutor at home? Please? Please!" The door shut and Delos whipped around. "Avert your eyes!" He demanded.
A couple of girls giggled quietly and quiet whispers broke threw the silence.
"Way to make a scene, Delos." An ash haired boy from across the room smiled at the dark haired boy.
"Oh, be quiet, Ash." Delos grumbled and took his seat at the table.
More giggle erupted from the girls lips and the dark haired girl beside Maggie said, "Well, he is a smart-aleck, isn't he?" Which only cause more giggles.
Raksha Keller was staring at herself in t he mirror propped against the wall in her room. This was the longest time she had ever been with a family. Six months, and now they were giving her into the hands of the preschool teacher.
Keller was extremely nervous about today, mainly because she had cat ears and a tail.
Yes, cat ears and tail. And she was so afraid of being exiled for it.
Keller was a shapeshifter. A panther, to be exact. And she didn't know how to control her Change yet.
Keller's black, velvety tail made it's way in between her legs and Keller moved some of her black hair into her gray, stormy eyes.
"You can do this, Keller. You can do this." She chanted to herself.
Keller ran downstairs and nearly ran into her foster mother, who smiled down at her warmly and stroked in between Keller's pointed ears.
"You ready?" Her foster mother asked. Keller merely nodded, not trusting her voice.
Her foster mother tried to soothe Keller with words but Keller wasn't listening, to absorbed with her own fears to pay much attention to anything else.
Keller nearly broke down, ready to grovel at her foster mothers feet not to make her go, when they pulled up to the colorful building, but Keller mentally smacked herself and reminded herself she needed to stay strong.
Keller's foster mother escorted her threw the main door, but there was another clear door that lead to the room that had been taken over by four year olds.
Where the heck was the supervision?
Keller's foster mother opened that door for Keller and she slowly stepped threw the thresh hold.
(A/N: As much as I would love to, I'm not going to stop here Keller's POV and skip to Galen's. But I was really, really tempted too!)
Much to her pleasure, only a few heads looked up at Keller when she entered, all of them Night Children. (A/N: Don't judge. Personally, I think it sounds awesome! XD)
"Keller!" She heard her name and looked to see who had called it. Keller let out a sigh of relief. Thierry was waving her over to a table on all Night Children. The only problem, Ash and James were getting into an argument. Noo, not Ash and James.
Keller shook her head and took her spot next to Thierry, who understood she didn't want anyone to see her ears and tail except the people who knew about them.
"I told you! That piece goes there!" They were arguing over a jigsaw puzzle?!
"No! It's the wrong color!"
"Well these to colors aren't the same!"
"That's not even a piece from this puzzle!"
"How do you know?"
"Look at the picture!"
(A/N: Just take a wild guess on whose whom. [Ash, James, Ash, James, Ash, James.] Hehehe)
Kestrel tapped Ash on the shoulder. "We'll take our puzzle piece back now."
Ash handed her the pink puzzle pieces and the two boys continued to argue over the polar bear puzzle.
"Oh, my, Goddess." Delos rolled his golden eyes. "I would lock you up in the dungeon if we were at my house."
"Hear that James. Delos would lock you up in the dungeon. So stop being difficult and put the piece there!"
"Oh I'm being difficult? I'll show you difficult!" James lunged at Ash and the two vampires tumbled.
There was silence as everyone watched the two boys. Then a girls with dark brown hair and blue eyes looked at Delos and said skeptically, "You have a dungeon?"
"Sure do." Delos nodded.
The girl continued to look at him skeptically.
"Don't question Delos, Mary-Lynnette." Thea Harman said.
"I'm not questioning him. I just don't think he has a dungeon." She was obviously human.
"What are these two fighting about now?" Everyone turned to see Galen Drache looking at the two wrestling vampires.
"A jigsaw puzzle." Delos answered wearily.
"Of course." Galen rolled his eyes.
"Think we should stop them?" A tiny blonde with violet eyes, obviously a witch, asked biting her lip. (Jill)
"Nah." Kestrel had leaned back in her blue chair and grinned when James tackled Ash, who punched James's shoulder.
"They do this all the time." Rowan sighed.
"Unfortunately." Jade sighed. Ash kicked James and James replied with a smack. "Come on, James! You can hit harder that that!" Jade exclaimed.
Everyone froze when they heard a loud gasp from the door. There stood a delicate, teeny tiny pale blonde girl staring horrified at the lamia cousins.
The girl looked around the chaotic looking room, toys scattered everywhere puzzle pieces on the floor like snow the middle of a blizzard, and finally at Ash, who had James in a headlock, and James, who was punching Ash on the back and side, trying to get him to loosen his grip.
The blonde girls stood frozen for a minute before bolting out the door screaming, "Mommyyy!!!"
Ash released James and everyone silently went to work getting the room cleaned up before the adults came.
"I like your head band." A black haired girl with bright green eyes said to Keller. "I love cats."
Keller blushed and thanked her, being especially careful not to move her ears the rest of the day.
Five pages on word. Wow. Well. I hope you are all satisfied with this chapter, I know a lot of you were looking forward to Jez and Morgy, Delos, and Keller. No need to panic, there is more to come. What did you think I was only going to stop here? Theses are just prologues, kinda, maybe, sotra.
So I hope you all enjoyed this. Jez and Morgead will destroy more stuff later. And I hope you all got a kick out of Iliana. And Ash and James. Ash was certainly the celebrity in this one. XD I guess it's not his fault he's friggin' awesome XD Hahahaha.
Well anyway, thanks so much and please, review!
