This was their battle and theirs only. Nobody can ever interrupt or help. Alice and Syaira came face to face. Their friends just watched them in silent and didn’t know who to cheer for or support. Syaira got the first strike, one of her fox tails made a massive wind strike and almost blew Alice away.
But Alice was smart. She had long sharp metallic vampire nails that she used to claw Syaira with and that left claw marks on the young girl’s left cheek. Syaira was devastated. She quickly turned into Gumiho form, and ran forward, sprung herself on Alice, making an attempt to spit lava on the vampire.
“Gross!” said the vampire, shoving the orange gumiho hard and getting herself on her feet. She scrubbed the dirt of her black leather coat she had on. It was a fire-proof one, Specially made for a Tempest. The nine tailed fox licked it’s lips and sprung forward to another attack but failed to do so.
The Vampire having speed element moved aside as if it was nothing. While the Gumiho was trying to get up, Alice shot a large ball of fire and it was dead.
“GAME OVER. YOU LOSE. PLAYER 1 WINS THE FIGHT.” The game announced. “AARGH! I lose, again! How did you do it Alice? You didn’t use magic to cheat, didn’t you?” Syaira whined. “What!? No! The awesome me have my master gaming ways!” Alice laughed victoriously.
“Alright you two. Enough is enough. I wanna play next!” Fazzy said. The girls were lounging after a café closing and Syaira and Alice were busy playing the biggest battle hit game ever , ‘Destruktica’ that was launched and selling like hot cakes in both Earth and the Other Realm. “Sure…. Hey wait! Syaira… remember our bet?” Alice asked sarcastically. “Oh man……… Yes. I remember it very dang clearly…..” Syaira moaned, defeated.
“After this last game, to the SALON WE GO!”Alice laughed happily.” Syaira wanted to keep her long straight hair, but maybe some curls can spice up her look.
**************************
“Okay Alice, I WAS WRONG!!! I DON’T WANT TO CURL MY LOVELY SILKY ORANGE HAIR!!!!!” Syaira shrieked. “Urh…. Man up, Syaira! And stop, I mean, seriously STOP yelling. It’s attracting attention from the humans.” Alice said, closing her mouth. “I don’t care! And I don’t want to man up! I’m a girl!” Syaira shrieked as a reply.
“C’mon… we promised and you lose, so… MAN UP!” Alice said again. “But, but… what about letting me do something else?” Syaira tried to persuade her. Alice smiled evilly and suggested “Like, you in the boy’s locker’s room?” “WHAT! I’ll curl my hair instead!” Syaira blushed furiously and screamed. They all just gave her a smile of pity and pitied over her extreme phobia over boys. Except for Alice who is laughing over her victory.
“Good.” Alice smiled. Syaira was be seated on chair and young girl with wild hair dyed in multiple rainbow colours asked her nicely “ So miss, what do you want?” “I-I…” Syaira was to scared to speak. Alice came to her side and whispered “I’m sorry if I’m pressuring but please….. just do this.” Syaira nodded. “She’ll have a curl.” Alice said to the stylist. The stylist nodded and did her job.
“Seeing that we’re here, I’m fixing my hair…” Fazzy said, grabbing an empty seat. “Watching people cut hair is boring so we’ll go out and call us when you’re finished” Enyz said, and the other’s went out.
The girls just went out of baskin robbins, each having cups of delicious ice cream and they headed to the salon. “How do you think Syaira will look like?” Fiena asked, while licking her ice cream. “I don’t know about it but her hair affects her fox fur…” Gwen said. “really? What about you? Yours is curly to.” “Yes, which means my dog fur is wild and curly when I transform.” Gwen nodded.
Mia was walking and she accidentally bumped a girl. “Oh… I’m so sorry, miss! I didn’t me- …. Syaira!?” she said in astonishment. “Yeah.. it’s me! I can’t believe I look like this! I’m so embarrassed.” Syaira tried to hide her face.
“What!? Don’t! You have the perfect Lolita hairst- I mean, it looks nice!” Mia said. “Ok… I’ll keep it. Hope Kenny loves it.” Syaira said, blushing. “You’re hooked with Kenny? Oh Mein gott… “ Mia said. “Let’s just get this over with and start training… “ Alice said as she and Fazzy stepped out.
Fazzy, also styled her hair. From the plain dirty blonde with black streaks, she added a rainbow striped streak on her left bang and it looked AMAZING.
*******************
The girls, were once again training at the Tempest manor. “Demonstrate your fur. I wanna see it.” Alice laughed. Syaira sighed and began her transformation. She closed her eyes, allowing the form to change naturally. Her fur was fiery orange, eyes deep harlequin green, she was still Syaira, even in fox form.
She began to have 1 tail, and grew 8 more. Fiena was scared at first because Syaira turned into a huge fox, but Gwen said that she should pat her head, like petting a cat. Fiena’s hand were trembling, not wanting to anger Syaira. “Man up.” Mia said, stroking Syaira’s soft, now thick curly fur softly. Syaira purred like a cat and fiena joined in.
“Enough with the petting, let’s start teaching Fiena and train.” Alice said. “Fiena, today you will learn about creatures, okay?” Gwen said. Fiena nodded, taking out a note pad and a pencil, attentively to hear what’s going on. “As you can see, Syaira is a gumiho, which means a nine-tail fox, while, I am a were- dog. I’ll demonstrate.” Gwen began to take form into the creature of the night, And it appears she was a dog with blue fur. Syaira transformed back into herself, stretching her body and told Fiena that a creature’s fur depend on how they’re hair look like and that is why creatures have long hair.
A creature’s fur is also expensive. It is like bullet-proof steel and that is why creatures are so hard to kill. Creatures of the night are fierce, strong, independent and very reliable. Apparently, living at Darkwoods are not only creatures, but dragons, trolls, goblins as well and even under-the-bed-monsters.
Dragons and Salamanders are dangerous and the only way to approach them is by gently and not to startle them. Alice knows one wise dragon there who, happens to be her fire-magic tutor, Dragneel. And luckily, they found him resting by a lake of lava. “Alice, have you forgotten your studies?” asked the wise dragon as he sensed who approached him. “No, master. I haven’t” Alice bowed politely.
“Master Dragneel, this is our new friend, Fiena. She needs help about dragon facts.” Alice said. “Very well. There a lot types of dragons, I, for example, am an European dragon which might result me, talking a varieties of European languages.” The dragon said. Fiena wrote it down quickly.
“Fire dragons live mostly in mountains and volcanoes and water dragons live in great rivers but not all dragons can fly. Only dragons which consist of fire, air, earth and ice can fly. Water dragons, however could not, but they are the fastest swimmers. Dragons have powerful metal-like scales and we consume humans on rare occasions. We normally would just eat our own element or animals. And that is all I can teach you, child.”
“I see, thank you for you help, I appreciate it.” Fiena said with a smile and bowed politely. They went to the trolls part of the forest next. A red ugly troll swept his smelly hands over Zalia and Mia gave him a stare of death. He quickly noticed and ran away.
“Trolls are creatures to not be mess with. Some are just weak sometimes but the biggest ones are powerful. They consume humans on occasions and if you’re not careful, you’re next. If you ever heard of a ‘changeling’ but doesn’t know what it is, I’ll explain to you. A ‘changeling’ is a child of a troll, that looks like human and sometimes these creatures replace a human’s child with a changeling.” Mia explained.
“A goblin is a legendary evil or mischievous illiterate creature, described as a grotesquely evil or evil-like phantom. They are attributed with various (sometimes conflicting) abilities, temperaments and appearances depending on the story and country of origin. In some cases, goblins have been classified as constantly annoying little creatures somewhat related to the brownie and gnome. They are usually depicted as small, sometimes only a few inches tall, sometimes the size of a dwarf. They also often are said to possess various magical abilities.”Fazzy explained.
“You often see gargoyles at old castles and church right? Well, in fact, they are alive actually. The roam in the night, searching for food such as rabbits, and little animals. They rarely hurt humans though except if they are being attacked first.” Enyz said briefly.
“Under-the-bed-monsters are often the sounds you heard in the night that making you have a fearful sleepless nights in result. They appear in shape and sizes but in spite, the monstrously appearance, they’re quite nice and they scare because they consume your fear.” Zalia’s turn of explaining.
“Darkwoods is a dangerous place. You can sometimes be consumed by the creatures here, so you ought to be careful” Alice reminded Fiena.
“And also, Darkwoods is under the domination of Philip Black, Ogrania and Lord Igneel Draco. Mr. Philip is in charge of the of the creatures and monsters while Ogrania is the ruler of the trolls and goblins and Lord Igneel controls the serpents, dragons and other creatures.” Gwen said.
“I’M HUNGRY!” Syaira yelled, scaring them. “THEN GO FREAKING EAT!” Alice yelled back, pissed. “Then, let’s go to my house!” the young girl offered. “Fine…. I am getting a bit hungry…” The girls went to Syaira’s large house lead by non other than, herself.
They wore a special blunt perfume that made their blood and body scent smelled invisible. They went in and saw her father about to kill a goat. “Aah…. You brought guests over. Join us for dinner!”her father smiled. “D- daddy, please don’t do it in front of the guests.” Syaira said. “C’mon, let’s go to my room while my dad’s killing the goat.” Syaira said. The others nodded except Alice and Mia.
“Can we like stay, for a moment to watch the blood spill?” Alice asked. “Sure, why not!” Syaira’s father smiled. “If you’re done, you know where my room is.” Syaira said while the others went up. Both the girls had pleasure watching Mr. Raphael(Syaira’s father) crack the goat’s neck, then cutting the pieces with his sharp claw, he didn’t need a knife. He poured some blood into a huge glass bowl, asking the girls to put it in the kitchen. Then putting it in a bowl, for Mrs. Amanda (Syaira’s mother) to cook it.
They went back to Syaira’s room, pleasurable smiles on faces and some bits of blood on their faces for standing to close to the dead bloody goat and even had some stains on their shirts. “You guys looked like you freaking murdered someone.” Fazzy said, shivered a bit.
“The blood…. I… love it!” Alice smiled. Mia was also smiling creepily still staring at the blood stains on her shirt. “Oi… you guys should change or take a shower or the other creatures might rip you to shreds. “But…. We didn’t bring extra clothes even though we have magic. P.S., Blood is GLORIOUS!” Mia said. “These two girls… are crazy?” Syaira, Enyz, Rita and Fazzy thought.
“Just go clean and wear my clothes instead.” Syaira sighed. Both the girls used a ‘clean’ magic and they were clean, in towels as if they just came out of the shower. “Here…. Wear this…… You can wear it there, I have that closet so you can change.” The two girls changed and stepped out.
Alice was wearing a black night dress, with purple lace and a purple silk ribbon tying her hair and black khaki pants with purple ruffles. Mia wore a red black stripe pajama with the picture of a bunny on the back and her hair in a messy bun. “We sorta changed the colors… sorry,” Both the girls said.
“Hey big sis! Dinner’s ready! If you don’t come I’m going to eat your part of the food!” Nick suddenly popped in. “Nick! How many times do I have to tell you, Knock first! You want me to kick you again?” Syaira got angry. “Sorry, I’ll do it next time! Hurry! Tonight’s dinner is delicious!” her little brother said and left off, running.
“Brothers…” Syaira sighed. “C’mon… dinnertime.” Syaira said. They walked through out the stairs and were greeted by the sweet smelling off BBQ. “KYAA!!! BBQ Today!” Syaira squealed in delight. Her mother gave her a bowl of rice and her part of the goat meat. On the BBQ grill, the goat meat was cooked in different flavours such as: Honey chili, Cheese pepper, Sugar chili glazed and Alice’s most hated thing : Garlic Cheese.
The girls had dinner and Fiena had garlic breath. She had to take several mints from the vampire because Alice hated garlic. “How is it that some people find garlic delicious and enjoyable to eat!?” Alice whined. “Calm down, Alice-san… I feel you man..” Mia patted Alice’s back.
“Oh, time to go home.” Rita said, reading the wall-clock. “Oh, wait!” Mrs. Amanda said. “Take this. It’s for you.” She said, giving Mia and Alice a bottle of fresh goat blood each. “Awesome!” Alice said. “Even though it’s not that branded but I love goat blood! It gives enough fat on the cake Sebastian makes! Than you, Mrs. Amanda.” Alice said. “Sugoi…. I thank you for this offer. My family will surely enjoy this!” Mia said. Mrs. Amanda just simply smiled and waved them good bye.
Syaira was yawning and her mother noticed a change on her appearance. “Syaira, y- you curled your long silky straight hair?” she asked her daughter. “Y-yes?” “Y- you look so beautiful!” the mother said and hugged her daughter. “Women” Mr. Raphael sighed.
