Eeep, high expectations are so hard to shake off…XD
Good thing though, I did tweak this chapter a bit before sending it off. So pressure is a good thing! =D *hair is falling off* YEAH!
Par-tahy! Aliens prohibited, Emos not wanted
Maybe I could just lock him in the garage? Yeah…
And while I'm at it, I can buy a gun and shot myself.
If he hears the music and the noise, not doubt he's gonna get irritated, and he's gonna want to kill, that being said, if finds out he's locked in, he'll be even more pissed, thus, he'll get his laser and start blasting everyone to a bloody pool…
That's thinking positive Sophie, real positive.
It's Friday and I'm going crazy. I just know I'm gonna fail my math test…
000
I'm at my locker, I totally failed my math test…
"Hi, Sophie!" it's Liz. I must be looking more emo than usual…
"How red do you think blood is?" I asked to no one specific.
"What?"
"Nothing. How was your day?"
"Good," she bobbed her head, "I hear there's gonna be a huge party at some dude's house, wanna come with?"
"I'll be there…"
Her eyes widen, her smile is huge, and this is the happiest I've ever seen her. "REALLY?"
It's my house, I outa be… "yeah…"
She looked skeptically at me, "How do I know you're not lying to me?"
"trust me, Liz," I have the most bored face in the history of the world, "I'll be there…"
000
I came home before Josh did, my mind racing over what I should do, Josh didn't tell me when people would start coming but I figured I only had about an hour. Things would pick up by six I'm sure, then all hell would break loose. I wondered if I should lock myself in my room, I mean, if anyone saw me before the party got wild they'd put two and two together and come up with two scenarios: either me and Josh were dating(ew, ew, super gross UGH!) or the correct assumption, we're brothers.
I didn't want to be in the party anyway, so, locking myself up seemed like a good idea. But then there was Krone…
I groaned. My head hurt…
I just needed to relax, I placed my forehead on the kitchen island, my Ipod was blasting in my ears, I have to clear my mind, calm down, and think of something…anything…
"First time you screamed at me
I should've made you leave
I should've known it could be so much better…"
Singing has always been very therapeutic for me…
"I hope you're missin me
I hope I've made you see…
that I'm gone forever-"
Holysweetpumkinpiepudding! Someone just shoved me!
I look up and see Josh, I take my headphones off, "Jesus, Josh, you nearly gave me a heartattac-"
"No time for that now!" I pulled me off the stool I was sitting on, "They're coming any minute now!"
"WHAT?"
I ran to the garage and did the first thing that came to mind, I locked it.
"You have to get out!"
What? "What?"
Josh started pushing me to the front door, "You have to get out Sophie!"
"What? Josh!" I struggled, "Josh!-my room!"
"I'll lock it for you!"
"No! I mean yes! JOSH!"
To late.
There were cars coming, I could see them, shit, I don't which way is up, I ran.
000
I just know I have a thousand grey hairs.
It's only been a couple of minutes (less than ten)and already they look like they're tearing the house down! Where's the police? What's Krone doing?
I'm hiding behind the neighbor's car, more people keep coming My house is small don't they see that? They're probably breaking things! And to think I got all mad at Krone for the vase, they're killing everything! Where's the dog anyway? Shit! It's my house, why am I even here?
"Damnit Josh, you'd have better at least locked my room up…" I cringed at the thought of strangers making out on my bed…
I ran to the front door, which was now practically open thanks to constant flow of people, I ignored two disapproving stares as I walked in.
More like I was pushed in.
Damnit it was cramped in here! I kept on being shoved this way and that, going to my room seemed out of the question, ugh, and the music was so loud! Shit, I think I just got the wind knocked out of me! Hard to breathe! Must…move…through the crowd! ohmygosh! They're everywhere! I can't even find Josh, that damn jerk, he's probably making out with Vivian Hale, and here I am getting trampled! Oh, shit, another waves coming!
"N-no!"
I get pushed against me will, I keep on jerking against people, I can't believe they can even move in this pit! Maybe it's the way they're dancing, bodies rubbing against each other, Jesus, what the hell! I hide my almost nonexistent boobs and pressed on. So hard…to see…where I'm going…the garage! I gotta make my way through! Lives are at stake!
"Who invited the emo?"
Krone laser beaming people doesn't seem so bad now-no! morality comes first! Almost there…owe, my shoulder! Made it. Damn, I forgot I locked it! Keys, keys! Go in, go in! Unlock! Finally!
I barged in, slammed the door, and locked it. I pressed my back to the door and slid down, thoroughly exhausted. Sweet Jesus, this is the last party I'm ever going to! Not that I was invited…kicked out by my own brother…I mean, c'mon!
"Krone?" I asked remembering why I was here. The lights were off, which made things sort of creepy…
I lifted my arm and pressed the light switch, I flinched while the lights adjusted themselves, still no Krone.
"Krone?"
Suddenly, he materialized, looks like he used his cloaking device…and he's not happy.
"Oh." was the only thing that came out. Great, Sophie, a killer Yautja is glaring you to death and that's all you gotta say.
"You locked me in." he growled, arms folded. I'm surprised you didn't kill anyone
I noticed he had his laser thing dangerously near him, looks like I made it in time to stop a disaster…
"sorry…"
The music got louder and he growled again.
I smiled in spite of the dire state I was in, "Told you, you wouldn't like it…"
There, a little bit of 'I told you so' does everyone some good, even Yautja. Krone turned his head grumpily.
"it sounds like a mad house out there…"
"That's cuz it is…"
"You approve of it?"
"Heck no, I already told you it's stupid Josh's fault…" grumble, grumble…
Then the worst happened, Lady Gaga started singing in the background. I groaned and banged the back of my head on the door.
"why must they play such atrocities…"
"It's what they like apparently…"
"You sing much better than that…"
…
…
…..
….wut?
"Wh-"
Lady Gaga started to do her annoying 'nana' thing, Krone almost roared. I couldn't take it much longer myself.
"You wanna get out of here?" I asked.
"Of course," he clicked, "but I don't suppose you want me to terrorize the other oomans…"
Ah…no. I almost laughed at his befalling sarcasm, "We'll go through there," I motioned to the garage door, "I have the remote, you can cloak yourself and I'll open it just enough for us to crouch through."
He cloaked himself, after I closed the garage door and walked into the drive way, I could barely see Krone but I knew he was following me.
"What now?" he was still invisible.
"Follow me, I know I place we can go."
"Where are we?"
"The park."
We were surrounded by thin trees, the dying sunset becoming grey, I've always preferred this time before it became dark. The sunset's reds and oranges were nice, but the grays and teal dark blues seemed more fascinating to me, maybe it was because most people never take much notice of it. Just like me.
"We passed the playground a while back," I continued, "the rest is trees, trees, and a lot of landscape. No body really comes around here in this season,, it's cold and the trees are so lifeless and bare without their leaves it's depressing."
"You seem to think otherwise."
I shrug, "I think it's peaceful."
Krone was still invisible and from what I was hearing he was prancing from tree to tree. "Sides," I went on, "there isn't any annoying music here."
I heard him jump off a tree and land somewhere close to me.
"You can stop being invisible is you want," I said, "No one's here."
He appeared next to me, I looked up at him and smiled.
"You like this place."
I nod, "Yeah."
I walked on ahead, taking in my surroundings, the skinny trees, the light chilly air, I looked up, the clouds where drifting easily, looking so natural and yet happy since someone had taken time to check up on them.
"Are there any places like this were you come from?" I asked finally looking down.
Krone seemed to be analyzing everything to, "No, there isn't," he clicked, his eyes roaming the trees, "It's nice…"
"Glad you like it."
He looked at me "You don't come here often?"
I shook my head, "I don't, but it's the only place I thought we could come to. It's nice."
"I see."
I started walking again, suddenly feeling real happy. It really was nice.
A squirrel stopped in the middle of our path.
"Aw! It's so cute," I crouched down, the squirrel ran off, my heart sank, "ah, man…just wanted to get close to it!"
I stood up.
"I could teach you how if you want"
I looked up at Krone with wide eyes but a smile on my face, "Really?"
He nodded.
"Thanks!"
000
Damn that squirrel.
Me and Krone knelt just a few feet away from it, watching it munch on a nut.
"Concentrate this time…" he clicks.
"I know, I know!" I say , my tone a bit cranky thanks to the amount of hours I've been trying to get close to that critter without it scurrying away.
"Relax…" he places his talon like hand on my shoulder and gives it a soft squeeze.
I close my eyes and take an extra deep breath.
"Okay," I exhale, "I'm ready."
We started moving, very slowly, I try to keep myself relaxed, keep my breathing steady, focus on my target, feel the dirt under my hands, I'm part of the earth, I'm in the air, just like Krone says, just focus, relax, the little guy's a nice shade of auburn with a white stripe trailing his back, his puffy brown cheeks just a tad lighter than his fur, medium size nose the color of coffee.
By this time I notice that we've stopped.
I gasp lightly, but not enough for the squirrel to run away. I did it! I looked over to Krone to find him nodding in approval. I felt like fluttering.
"Awesome!"
This time the squirrel does hear me and starts to jolt away, only to have Krone wrap his hand tightly around him. At first I'm thinking Krone's gonna snap his neck or something, then I realize he just grabbed him so he wouldn't go away. Maybe he thought I wouldn't be able to sneak up on the little devil twice. Smart guy. I didn't think I'd be able to either.
"Aw, he's so cute!" I scratched his ears gently and noticed he was frantically shivering. Apparently he was also scared to death.
Krone inched the squirrel closer to me. Oh, I get it, he wants me to hold it! I open both my hands in a holding position.
"Hold it tightly and don't let go…" he instructed.
I nodded, feeling very eager to hold it.
He hovered the squirrel above my awaiting hands, and in one quick movement the little guy was struggling to be free from my hands. I thought I might end up letting go but then Krone cupped his hands on top of mine and that seemed to be enough to stop him.
"Aww…" I'm a sucker for cuteness, so what? Sides…it looked super cute when it was scared! Poor thing, I just wanted to love it and never let go! It looked so frail and afraid.
We stayed like that for a while, me holding the squirrel and Krone's talon like hands holding mine. I wondered for a bit how such sharp claws didn't cut me, maybe he had control over them, he was so gentle yet firm. He didn't cut my delicate skin and the Mr. Puffycheeks(I named him) stayed put.
It was a nice moment.
Nice expect for the fact the Puffycheeks might've died from a little animal heart attack if we continued to restrain him. So after I finished analyzing his dark chocolate eyes and his cute puffy face to full extent I decided it was best to let him go.
Bye, Mr. Puffycheeks, till next we meet!
He scurried off. I let out a giggle.
I noticed my hand was on top of Krone's. My first instinct was to pull away but then…
I lifted his night black talon and flipped it over, my other hand's fingers trailing his palm, in just this one hand he had enough strength to lift an entire person and throw him across a huge room. I could almost feel the mass amount of power surging through this one hand, it was enough to send a shiver down my spine. And yet, he was real gentle just now, holding my hands in his. He's probably killed thousands of creatures with this hand, but he was careful not to hurt me. I smiled, almost barely not hearing a nice soft purr coming from somewhere…
I looked up at him, "Thanks for teaching me."
He only nodded. Man this guy has such a lack of words…
I let go of his hand and stood up, seconds later he did the same.
"Maybe next you can show me how to land on my feet?"
000
"AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
HolysweetmotherTeresa!
I fell back first from a tree, thankfully Krone caught me with his massive arms before I became a Sophie Pancake…
"The point is to land on your feet…" he clicked as he held me next to his huge chest. This has happened about twelve times already.
"Yeah…well…whatever!"
I carefully placed both my feet on the ground as he slowly put me down.
"I mean not everyone had cat like reflexes…" I muttered, more than a bit agitated. Twelve times is a lot, especially if you feel like you're falling to your doom!
I looked up at the night sky, "It must be pretty late right now…"
"We've been out a long time."
"Yeah…" how long have we been out again?
"Do you think that 'party' is over by now?"
I shook my head and grimaced, "Probably not…"
They're all most likely to be making out by now…uck. I yawned.
"You are tired, we should go back," I saw him do something resembling a smirk, "and if they are still going on, I might be able to make them stop…"
I couldn't help but giggle. "Please don't," I walked up next to him, "I can pretty much sleep through everything, so don't worry about me."
We started walking.
"Will you be okay with it though?"
"I'm fine as long as you are."
I smile.
A frosty wind comes by and I rub my arms frantically.
"You are cold, young ooman?"
"I'll make it to the house."
I look up at him.
"It's Sophie, by the way…"
I've noticed he's never called me by my name, it's either been 'ooman' or 'young ooman'.
He slows down a bit, which is great because I have such a hard time keeping up with him, I watch his eyes wander a bit, as if hesitant to try out the new word.
"Sophie."
I smile. I think we both like how that sounded just now.
