The Dying Rose and Us ch 6
i had no money with me. kiki tried to pay for my ticket but Jamie wouldn't let her.
"he knew we were going to the movies, he shoulda brought his own money"
"Jame, we're already here, it wouldn't hurt to-"
"he knew! it's not my fault we only figured this out now. the movie is about to start. lets go"
she grabbed kiki's arm and tried pulling her away. Megan and Debra watched shyly at a good distance.
kiki pulled away telling Jamie to stop. i had thought Jamie a pretty okay girl when i first met her, but now i thought her as a stuck-up bitch.
"arra!" Jamie was really upset that kiki wasn't sub-missioning to her like she used to.
kiki looked like she was gonna explode. instead she let out a trained sigh and calmly walked off. of course i followed. me and kiki were a team now, a pack.
it was a shame thought that she already bought her ticket before she stormed off. you never know how far five dollars and twenty five cents can take you.
"kiki?" i asked realizing we were heading back to her school.
"yes?" she replied fiddling her index finger and her thumb together.
"um... nothing" i had something to say, but i forgot, or i just couldn't find the words to say it.
"it's been a long day" she said looking at the changing colors in the sky. it was getting darker and darker. "do you know if there is a full moon tonight?" i asked seriously.
"i don't think there is one tonight"
i sighed in relief. we stopped in front of her binder and book bag.
i picked up her defence weapon and remembered how it stunned me long enough for her to get down the road.
"are we not going back to your house?" i asked, slipping down the hole from before. she picked up the unused match, i assume she forgot about it when i told her everything, and struck it. watching the fire eat away the match until it almost burned her hand. she rubbed it against the ground, smothering the flame.
"you like fire?"
"i like to watch it" she set the box behind her before asking "can you tell me more about this?"
"about what?"
"my last name, and werewolves"
"your last name?" i didn't notice, I'm surprised i didn't notice before.
Kiki Arra.
her last name... hm... what was the real arra's last name?
"Yeah my last name"
"oh! well... i've been told she was of fair face, hair like rown metal," i ran my hand in her copper hair, "and water blue eyes"
she reached over finding the flashlight, turning it on right in my eye's.
"agh!"
"sorry!" she turned the flashlight away.
i blinked to readjust.
"continue please"
"she was cursed to loyalty. our, my clan is being attacked by another clan. they will either kill us or have us as slaves. in your blood, lies great power. more then likely you will die."
"that helps." she groaned.
"hey! i would die for my clan!" i retorted.
"i didn't even know your clan existed until today."
i said nothing.
"I'm still confused"
"what do you not get? your the second life of a cursed woman, and my clan wants to use you as a decoy. 'nuff said"
"i think I'm just gonna sleep this off. I'll grasp it better in my sleep"
"as you wish" i said pulling off the shirt she gave me.
a light flashed at my chest.
"what are you doing?" i began to undo her pants. "I'm still young, i turn into a wolf at night. and unless you want your closet to grow emptier every night, it'd be best i go naked"
"what happens to your clothes anyway?"
"it changes into fur, and when ever we change back to human it stays as fur and changes into skin like the fur"
"oh" she flicked the light off and laid down as i sat naked watching her try to sleep.
"how did you find this place anyway?" i asked curious.
"i made it. i needed a place for myself."
"how?"
"just kept digging" that was all she said about it.
~~~
i crawled out of the hole and stretched.
a bug bit my side, making me itch. i sat wagging my tail peering down into the hole.
today was a new day. last night while kiki was sleeping i ran off to find my care taker. when i found him, i told him everything. for once in my life he actually praised me. i had done something right for once.
Just one last thing to do....
~~~
kiki crawled out some time later, yawned and rubbed her bed head hair.
"what time is it?" she asked pulling out the clothes she had given me.
"'bout six i suppose."
she threw the clothes at me saying she was gonna change at her house, and that she'd see me at school.
I. P. C.
kiki sat in the front. today she wore her hair back in a ponytail. her bangs fell straight over her eyes: they were thin and scattered across her forehead, making her dark blue eyes stand out. she wore a tight red shirt and baggy blue pants.
It was sexy, and no less. i sat in an empty seat across from her. she was reading and didn't notice me. "okay clear your desk's" said the teacher.
"mister simn, i know this is your first day with me, but try to do your best anyway"
"yes, sir" i said, "do you have a pencil?"
he handed me a pencil along with the semester exam and scan tron.
~~~
for ten minutes now I've been trying to remember what the hell the parts of an electromagnet were. i looked at kiki in the corner of my eye's. she stared blankly at the paper, and she wasn't blinking.
SHE WAS SLEEPING!
what the F***! I'm confused as hell and she's sleeping! does she not care?
a sudden spark of life reentered her as she blinked. i watched her hand move and wobble as it marked down answers. yep... she didn't care. or she does care, she's just lazy.
~~~
FINISHED! i guessed all the answers and bubbled at random, but I'm done! and at last second too.
kiki finished an hour ago, and spent the rest of the time reading. i paid the teacher a dollar to keep the pencil.
me and kiki walked side by side down the hall. Jamie saw us, and glared with more hate then anything.
what was the big deal? i know I'm sexy, but damn.
ART
kiki and i talked throughout this period. mostly about the things we like, like foods, books, animals (i like wolves of course)and sports. here and there we talked about personal things, and by we i mean me. she didn't say to much about herself. she only listened, which was enough for me. it felt good to talk about myself without fear of being judged. she took away that fear. i respected her for that.
"kiki and boyfriend," a thin middle aged woman with short black hair wearing a purple long sleeve top with black capris that only an old lady would wear, stood behind us. i waited for kiki to protest and say we weren't going out.
she didn't. the more i thought of it the more my cheeks burned.
"please get to work" was all she said.
we turned and started drawing.
"we're doing 2-point prospective" kiki told me as she placed her ruler across her paper, taced a straight line and marked two dots.
"oh" i said copinging her.
the old lady left us as a student raised their hand.
i was about to talk to kiki agian, but i knew she had left this world when her pencil touched that paper.
i couldn't help but smile as her water blue eyes' were lit brightly with window light.
i was still smiling as i drew a two dementional box on my paper. so far, today was a good day.
