PURPLE WORLD - E.S. (always you kirsty moseley txt) 📗

I hid behind a cotton candy cart because I caught a boy staring. Legend would be very disappointed in me if I was seen, she says “you can go out, any where you want, as long as your not seen”, it might be easy for her to say since she has had hundreds of years of practice.
I’m not the kind of girl who blends in either, my hair is naturally dark red (turning black if it gets really long), I’m taller than most my age, 5.6", my long smooth chocolate legs are easy to pick out, and I’m one of the most beautiful young women of my time, and before. I had to bend my knees down so that he couldn’t see me from behind the machine. I was meeting my friend here. The only friend I’m allowed to have. I snuck around some booths and other vending machines until I got the marry-go-round. I found her, she was sitting on the edge, her smoky purple hair stood out from the crowd, she like me was unnaturally tall, her light colored skin almost shined, but still she looked bored sitting there,
which made her complete beauty hide behind every one, it made her look normal, unnoticed, just like any other twelve year old girl. She looked up to see me “Athena!”, she yelled not caring who turned their heads, one thing about her, once all that work, she wasn’t afraid to destroy it all after, I might as well just go with the flow, the damage is done “Atalanta!”, I held out my arms and she ran right in them, “we must be going, Legend would be very mad if she saw us creating attention”, I whispered in her ear,
“oh who cares about Legend, she’s old, we could take her, besides this is the first time we’ve seen each other in a long time”,
she was right it was, it had been a year and a half, we have been very busy, I was in Florida and she was in a little island in Norway, “come on, we must get to the cabin”, I whispered.
"ready",
"Set",
"GO!", we raced to the woods on the outside of the park, we ran between the trees and turned, the cabin was 5 miles away, we got there in about 10 minutes. We walked inside the cabin, I flicked the switch and found ourselves in the living room, there was two couches, and a fireplace, we were not allowed a T.V. and we did not want one either. We walked into the kitchen exchanged stories and ate a couple steaks left in the fridge. “I found a stone, and it was shaped like a heart, but then it broke!”, Atalanta laughed at her own private joke, she has a lot of those. “Nice, well it’s ten so want to go bed, we got a big day tomorrow”, I said after I finished my steak, we headed up stairs going past many rooms, and finally to the bathroom, we washed the make up that was hiding our markings off our bodies and took our contacts out, and finished all our re-transformations, I looked at my self in the mirror, I had my little black wolf prints going up my neck and down my arms, my eyes went back to the color purple and my hair was in a pony tail, but one strand wouldn’t stay out of my face, Atalantas eyes were back to purple and her paw prints showing. She was making funny faces in the mirror and I was trying to blow the loose strand of hair up out of my face for around a half on hour before we went to bed. Our room had a dresser, one window at the side of the room and a bunk bed, that was it. Atalanta jumped onto the top bed and I went on the bottom, Atalanta talked until we fell asleep, now I don’t even listen to what she says, because now it’s just pretty much song lyrics or her talking about something only she understands.

We woke up to the sound of wolf howls, we both jumped out of bed and ran outside. When we got outside we found 4 people waiting, , Artemis, Ouranos, and Erebus. They greeted us with smiles and paw prints and purple eyes. Atalantas was white with blond around the edge, and I was night black. We ran.

There was six of them, of course they couldn’t take care of what they were protecting, they were fighting vampires, they were at war, expect it was their own private war, no one would hear about it. I ran along the sides and found one wolf who was having a hard time fighting off two vampires, he was bleeding and I knew he would be gone in a matter of time, the others weren’t around. One girl vampire was beginning to jump towards him, but I moved in front, the vampires back down a bit, they never seen something like me before, I’m the youngest girl to ever be a wolf, well other than Atalanta, but Atalanta wasn’t here, I was as black as night to, but may be it was the purple eyes that threw them off, but I took their surprise and used it, I jumped on one, ripping it’s bloodless head off, the other wolf seemed to be back on and was fighting the stronger vamp. I stayed around him, but looked for more, a chain of howling went off, the boy behind me did a different one though, I began to run off, but the pack had already circled me and I couldn’t go any where.

I snarled at them, I could take some of them, but I really needed Atalanta. Then some turned human, but I stayed, the boy I saved was now human and I noticed he was only around 14, unusual, I know I just saved him, but I could attack to, I let out another low growl, “who are you?”, a boy, well he must be a man now, yelled, this made me want to laugh because no way are they going to find out who I am. The leader asked again the question, I didn’t answer just looked for openings, the leader went on a rant about how I’m being stupid and should show myself, and because I got bored of him going on and on I did. Ok, so I learned a trick to come back with my clothes on, so that came really in handy now. They had shocked faces once the saw me and decided to pull a Atalanta, I let out a bored sigh “ok, well I just saved you little friends life, so you should be thanking me, anyways, I’m going to go”,
I began to tip toe through the wolves and boys, but that annoying leader stopped me, “why did you come here? we do not need your help”,
I laughed, “do not need my help! oh god! if I wasn’t here that little wolf over there would be dead!”, I pointed to the wolf I saved. Then patted the leaders shoulder, which he did not like, “have a fun time doing whatever, got to go, bye”,
but the leader still had my arm, “where do you come from?”,
I scratched my chin, pretending to think hard, “well, I come from the Greek pack, but I do not live in Greece, see my purple eyes, and the paw print birth mark?”, I pointed to my neck, “yeah, so I don’t got to go, but bye”,
he still did not let me go, “ok, I see you do not what got to go means, well first your going to take you hand off my arm and I’m going to get out of here, you know I think i deserve a thanks at least, i did save that guys life when you were no where in sight”,
he just looked at me, then to the boys “take her in”, with that I twisted his arm and ran, I turned and kept going, I knew the boys were making a plan but I wasn’t going to wait and see what it was.

They never caught me.

I caught a boy staring, some thing familiar about him, I couldn’t place, I hid behind a cotton candy machine, of course Legend would be mad if he spotted me, but who wouldn’t be attracted, my long straight red hair was black at the tips, I was tall for my age ,6", of course that’s more because of my long chocolate legs that get tangled up easily, I had to bend down so the cotton candy machine would hide me fully. I ran behind venders and booths to get to where I needed to go. The marry-go-round. I saw her, sitting there, her now long wavy purple hair set apart from the crowd, but her at the side of the marry-go-round made her fit in, her prints and eyes were hidden but i knew it was her, she looked up at me. “Athena!”,
it was gone, us being unnoticed was gone, every one was looking and the boys holding their stares longer than the others, I went with the flow, “Atalantas!”,
I spread my arms out and she ran in them, “I missed you”,
I whispered.
“Oh my god it’s been such a long day. We have to talk”,
we ran to the cabin, this is the place when we want to be normal, to go, we grow here, hang out, watch movies, it was exactly the same way as we left it too.

We were drinking coffee at the cabins table, she drink the whole thing in under a minute then said “I heard you had a run in with another pack years ago?”,
her face turned into a weird frown that hardly never is there, “yeah, stupid boys, saved one of them too, and what do I get, nothing”,
I said not knowing where she was
