The car slowed to a stop in front of an impressively large and oddly colorful building. Glinda looked at me from the mirror, slight worry in her eyes. "Will you be alright?" I nod clutching a panda backpack to my chest. Inside there was seven shirts and four pairs of shorts and pants, a second pair of shoes, ten pairs of socks, and a sketch book with crayons and pencils.
She gives me some semblance of a smile and ruffled my hair. "When you get in they'll ask your name and like your record say, it's Jay Selene Night.('Huh, my middle name's Selene...?') After that you'll be a part of the orphanage and its system... i'll visit you in a week..." I heard her finish softly.
I smile at her as best I could and say, "Thank you for everything Glinda." She smiled at me and ruffled my hair one more time. I open the car door and jump down to the gravel. Luckily I didn't trip. Walking forward I finally noticed how tall the building actually was. It's shadow loomed before me.
The colors though didn't make it ominous but more... Warped. The window frames were lime green the door was blue and the actual building was painted a light pastel pink. I may love color... But that's an eye sore. I wrinkle my nose as I grab the orange handle. Entering I find chaos. Children were running everywhere...
I'd forgotten the child lifestyle. Walking through I notice an older woman. She spots me and says. "Hi, are you the girl we're expecting today?" A bright smile on her face the whole time... Creepy... I look her straight in the eyes and decide to match her smile. "Yeah, I'm Jay Selene Night, Ms. Goodwitch brought me here."
Her smile seemed to grow brighter. "Nice to meet you, Jay. I think it's time that we take you to your room. You'll have four roommates, alright. I'm Ms. Keen." She places her hand in the small of my back, leading me to wherever I had to stay. We weaved through gaudily colored hallways and rooms, walking through hordes of messy kids.
After four flights of horrifying lemon yellow carpeted stairs. We arrived in front of a dark blue door with a plaque that read, Deep Ocean View. She saw my confusion as she reached to open the door. "All bedrooms have a different theme. Your room has the theme of the deeper part of the great blue sea. Judging by your hair and eyes you'll fit this room to a T." I groaned inwardly.
She pretty much shoved me into the room. "I'll check on you at five and dinner is at... Six, don't be late!" She called with a chirp in her voice and slammed the door as she left to go do who knows what. I hear cackling behind my back and somebody muttered,
"Ugh she's at it again." I turn around to see whatever irritating sight might curse me at the moment. I see my first Faunus, a grey wolf type. Her hair was... Interesting. It was a wild layered mane of white and lavender. She also had on a purple mustache for some reason...
She was in one of those weird anime poses, one arm pointed in some type victory celebration and one of her legs bent making a v shape. A littler kid was rubbing in some type of pain, probably from her. She was the one who was cackling. "I'm the princess of Deep Ocean View!"I cross my arms and plant one foot in front of the rest of my body. A half glare forming as I stared at her longer.
"If your the princess I'm definitely the queen." Shock changed the girl's large grin and recognition filled her eyes as she looked at me. She dropped her leg back down and a large smile started to form. 'What is wrong with this girl?' I start to back away but she seems to notice and jumps from the bed and her destination seems to be...Me!
I grab her by the waist and set her down. As I place her safely she looks at me with a wide grin. "Ja-!" I cut her of quickly, not letting her shout. "It's Jay, actually." I see her confusion for a second but as I move my hand away she hugs me almost knocking me to the the floor and says,
"I'm Stella now." I hug her back. "Now, while the silence was great while it lasted, I'm really happy to see you." "Awww, I can't believe you're named Jay! Why do you still get the first letter of your name!?" I smirk at her slightly. "Im just special like that." She pouted at me. "Well, I like Stella... Want me to call you Star?" "Yes!" She squealed. After that she went on to explain everything about the orphanage. I guess it won't be the worst thing on the planet. "By the way, how old are you now?" "Six." "What?! No fair, I'm still younger than you!" "And you always will be."
...
The orphanage really wasn't all that bad despite its horrible color design. I'm pretty sure Stella had something to do with it one way or another. The other kids in the orphanage were really cute. And like with any family gathering, I was pushed to be the one who took care of them. Stella was the one who played with them. We pretty much became the big sisters of the rest of the orphans after I finally tempered her out.
Like Glynda promised she visited a week after. She took me out leaving a pouting Stella behind as we went to the local mall. We found a nice little diner type restaurant and ordered some food. She looked at me seriously. "Jay, I've been thinking about something and since you've had nine days... How did you survive the attack?" I had been eating and as soon as she said that I felt myself freeze. I fiddled with my salad appetizer.
"I think... I commanded them away..." I could feel Glynda's surprise from across the table. "Excuse me?.. You commanded away grim?" I nod. "I had seen my mom and rage had just taken me over and then... I yelled at the beast to run away and it did. It didn't attack me even though it had seemed ready to." She looked lost in thought for a few minutes until... "Maybe that's your semblance." I feign surprise..
"My sem- What?" She paused for a second probably trying to figure out how to explain it. "A semblance is a power that we gain from our aura. They are different depending on the person who uses them. Mine for instance, is telekinesis. It probably represents my need to have control." She said nonchalantly.
How often did she have to explain this? "Now, if we're thinking of your semblance... The ability to command, it probably means you're very authoritative." I huff slightly. Aren't we a pair? One needs control and the other needs to control. She laughs slightly too, probably catching on to my train of thought. "Anything else you want to know?" She almost smiled at me ruffling my hair.
"Excuse me, now one plain cheeseburger and a side of fries for the little miss... And one burger with everything on it with a side salad for the beautiful lady... have a good meal, ladies." A waiter said popping up and setting our plates down quickly. He flirted slightly with Glynda but with one glance she rebuffed him. He left quickly under that stare.
I giggled softly again which ended in a snort. "That happens quite a bit, anyway, I've been thinking. Jay do you want to learn how to fight? If you learned to fight I'm sure you would be able to learn how to control that semblance of yours." I felt excitement rise trying to bubble to the surface. But I needed to think about this seriously.
If I learned to fight that would mean that I would have to run into Grimm more, and if I had to run into Grimm more I would have to see more cases like Cerise. But if I learned to fight I could help stop those cases and stop some of them. In particular if I became a huntress. I smile at Glynda. She was also smiling at me. "I see your determination. Should I take your answer as a yes?" "Definitely."
A/N: Hey guys that's the end of chapter two and that was a ton more fun to write than the first chapter which was so grim dark. Please comment and have a great morning, afternoon, and evening guys
