Chapter 4: A New Face
A pair of sky-blue eyes appeared from behind a book that read How to kill a Cragmite. This person was sitting in the dark and scanning the young Lombax hero; just watching what he was doing. The figure put down the book then walked to the shelf opposite Ratchet, still trying to stay in the shadows.
It was a Lombax for sure, a female on at that. You could tell by the shape, however this one had a...tail. Normally female Lombaxes don't have tails, but this one here was one of a kind. Only her blue eyes stood out of the darkness. Curiousity filled them.
Ratchet had that sudden twitch in his chest that someone was watching him. He didn't want to show it, so he carried on looking for other answers to his questions. He came to a bookshelf that had just one small book on it. The Lombax raised an eyebrow in confusion. He walked up to the shelf, and noticed that it was very dusty. Seemed like no-one had been in that section in years.
Hesitating he picked up the book and rubbed most of the thick dust off to read the title. "Mysterious Legends of the Past." He moved his index finger along the words as he read. Hmm, this sounds...interesting. As he was just about to open it, a hand snatched the book from his.
"Tis' not to be read by ze public...or strangers." A female voice said in a olden tone.
Ratchet turned around quickly to see an old Lombax holding the book in one hand and a wooden walking-stick in the other. She had glasses at the end of her muzzle, and her back was crippled so she was half her normal size; but she was still quite tall. The clothes she was wearing was a long pink dress what they would of wore in the olden days, and a matching pair of shoes that had a slight heel.
"Bu-but I need that book." The young Lombax said. "Please, miss." He begged.
"Ne. Me saiz ne." Then she walked off slowly still holding the book but tightly. Ratchet sighed heavily. His ears dropped slightly and a sad expression fell apon his face. He was never gonna find out what was going on.
"You know. You don't need a book to discover things out."
Great another female to ruin my day. Kaden's son thought angry in this mind. His hands clenched into fists as he turned around to only she a beautiful young female Lombax lending against a wall, smirking.
Her cream-coloured fur stood out against the black stripes. Also her eyes were the same shade as the sky and as deep as the sea. Her long ginger hair was tied back in a pony tail which stood at the top of her head. The tuff at the end of her tail was huge and looked so fluffy compared to his.
His eyes went really wide then half closed and the tension flowing around his body disappeared. Whoa. She's...she's...amazing. Ratchet whispered in his head. His jaw fell a bit.
"Well are you just going to stand there starting or reply to me." She said, smiling with crossed arms. Then she got down on one knee and put a fist over her heart. "Sargent Lewis. Jasmine Lewis." She said after getting back up.
Such a nice name. "M-my name's Ra-"
"Ratchet." Finishing the sentance for him. "I know. Everyone knows. Every Lombax in this place has been talking about you." She said, still smiling slightly but not as much as she was.
"They...have?" He asked completely confused. His only been here for like a quarter of a day, is already popular and is being talked about. But what about him is so exciting? Apart from him getting rid of Percival Tachyon, but he had Clank and Talwyn to help him as well...and he couldn't forget about Cronk and Zephyr the two warbots. He literally rolled his eyes at the thought of all of it.
"Sure, who wouldn't be!" Jasmine yelled happy slightly. She cringed a bit when the old Lombax told her to be quiet and then she did the mother of all eye rolls. Glancing down at her watch, a shock look appeared over her face. "Ek! I'm gonna be late for my meeting!" In a blind the female left the sight.
Ratchet ended up shaking his head and a grin hushed across his lips. "Well, there's nothing else to do. Better get back." He spoke to himself. The Lombax went off back to where his father was waiting for him.
OMG, I haven't uploaded one of these chapters for AGES! But here it is...at last ^^; Ratchet meets Jasmine (oh and I thought of a way of how to say 'Jasmine' in a Lombax kinda way...Jazz-mine. 'Jazz' in like the music and 'mine' as in 'it's mine' :D ) So yeah, I'll be uploading more of these chapter for this story. Just to let you all know, this story is just called 'The Chosen One' but it's still a Ratchet and Clank story :)
