Saving Lives
With her flowing blond hair and searing ice blue eyes, Sage walked down the street heading for the King Supers about a block away from her house. She had her head held high staring straight ahead as to show confidence and have people know that she would fight for her life if necessary. Lately when she had been walking around just to get out of the house, there where full grown men either honking their horns or whistling that stupid undignified tune. It was very irritable in her conclusion of men who where so desperate as to flirt with girls under the age of sixteen. In her age of fourteen, she thought it to be quite disturbing. For that reason alone, she carried with her a necklace that if needed she could pull out a small knife. The necklace obtained the shape of a wolf. The knifes blade was hidden, its handle the tail of the silver creature. Then the annoying undisputed sound came from across the street where workers fixed the sidewalk nearest the bridge. She did as she normally did to scare off the perverts. She didn't face them but bared her unusually sharp teeth at the men. She had no idea why her teeth where like this but she used them to her advantage. The men backed away with shock lingering in their faces. She smiled to herself and kept walking. Her bangs to the side of her head half hiding her face. She had another trick up her sleeve to scare people off. If she concentrated hard enough there would be a crimson blood red seeping into her eyes turning them blood red instead of ice blue. But it was hard to be able to get a hold of her skill. As she was walking she noticed someone strange out of the corner of her eye. A kid with black hair and a hoodie to go along with his goth look. But he wore no chains nor any piercings. She shrugged it off, he seemed normal around these parts so she just left toward the entrance to the grocery store.
She was walking around looking for the things her father had listed on the grid paper. She was first looking for a large carton of eggs. She was in the freezer isle when she noticed a small coin on the floor. She reached down to pick it up when it flashed a very weird color. Not the color a coin was supposed to be. It looked gold but the coin flashed red. She looked around for a source that the flash could have come from. There was no red bulbs or any red items on the shelves. She glanced back at the coin. It was small for money. She picked it up and looked at it. It had the image of a wolf on the front and the image of a flaming heart on the back. "Odd, this isn't a normal coin. It must be a collectible." She muttered to herself. She stood and slid it into her pocket. She would show it to the cashier and see if he recognized it or if anyone had come up to see if someone had found with a golden coin. She looked around and found the rest of what she needed and prepared to check out her items. She reached into her pocket and pulled out the coin and looked at the cashier. "Excuse me sir, has anyone lost a gold coin with a wolf and flaming heart on it?" She asked politely hoping that she would do the right thing by finding the owner. The cashier looked up from scanning the items and looked at the coin confused. "No but I sure wish that it belonged to me." Smiling at his joking comment. He probably wondered who would be lazy enough as to lose a solid gold coin. It was odd that someone would let this beauty out of their sight. It must be worth a fortune. She shrugged and slid it back into her pocket, maybe someone would come and ask if she's seen it. She picked up her groceries and started walking out of the store. She was about halfway home walking across the bridge in the park when someone came up and grabbed her arm. She dropped her groceries and pulled out the small dagger within the wolf and whipped around pointing it at her attacker. She recognized the boy from earlier. The boy glared at her, "Give it to me." He demanded. She lifted a brow. "Give you what?" She asked in confusion. He started baring his teeth and like her, they where unusually sharp. "You know what!" He countered. He reached for her pocket but she grabbed his arm in return and flung him away. She reached for her groceries but the boy came up and grabbed both her arms and pulled her toward the fence on the bridge pinning her. She then with her foot, tripped him and he lay face down on the ground. She put a foot on his back and grabbed both of his arms pulling them behind his back. He struggled and cringed with pain as she pulled harder on his forearms. "Let me go!" He yelled. But she held on strong. "Try something again and I'll rip your arms off!" She threatened in her frighteningly wolf like tone. The boy was impressed with her skill. "Who is this girl?" He asked himself. Then there was a voice calling from the opposite side of the playground. "Collen!" The voice sounded about the age of a fourteen year old. Sage looked over to see the source of the sound coming toward them. "Who are you!?" She called out still a bit cautious about who these kids where. The kid smiled and looked at her. "Its okay we won't bite!" He called as he got closer with another kid about the same height strutting right beside him. "We just want our friend back." He said a little more quietly as he got closer. He stopped and stood about five feet away. "So what did you do this time Collen?" He asked in a sarcastic tone. Sage looked back at her attacker, or as they called him Collen, and bared her teeth once again. "Your friend here attacked me!" She practically barked. The boy looked at his friend in confusion. "What? Collen why would you attack her?" He asked his face giving off a sort of 'what the heck would he do that for' look. Collen looked at his friends after prying his face out of the grass. "She has it! She has the coin!" He scowled at them. The boy looked at her seeming a little stunned. He then looked back at Collen and asked, "Are you sure Collen? Maybe she doesn't." He looked really worried. Like it was bad that she had the coin. Collen spit out some grass and nodded. "Yes I'm sure! I can tell!" He growled. Then looked at Sage and glared, well at least he tried to look at her considering she was pinning him down to the ground. Sage looked relieved at the boys. "Is that all you want? I would have given it to you if you just asked. You honestly didn't have to attack me." She said still a bit irritated that this kid had no manners. She let go of Collen but kept a foot on him and reached into her pocket. But when she pulled it out, the coin was glowing ice blue. She looked at it in wonder. The boys looked at the coin astonished. Even Collen who had finally lifted his face from the grass gasped in surprise. "She-she's the one." The boy whispered. Sage looked at them confused. "What?" She asked. She was the what? These kids where strange, and they didn't live around here, that was for sure. They kid shook his head and changed his expression. "Sorry nothing. Anyway, it seems you already know Collen's name. I'm Jaden, and this is Zach. What's your name?" He asked politely. He still had a strange look about him. He was leaning on one foot then the other. She looked at him putting on a fake smile. "I'm Sage." She answered in her sweet tone. She didn't want any more trouble so she went along with what they where talking about. "Well here is your coin." She then handed the boy the coin, but for some reason it stopped glowing. "Well that's weird." She thought to herself. The coin was then placed safely in Jaden's pocket. Then movement under her foot turned her attention away from Jaden. "Would you let me up!" He growled. He was starting to squirm again. Sage rolled her eyes. "Well ain't you the polite one." She said sarcastically. She lifted her foot from his back and let him up. He glared but said, "Thank you." But it was in a very rude tone. Jaden looked at him with irritated eyes. His brown hair mixed with gold swayed in the breeze. His brown and gold eyes stared blankly at Sage after he took his gaze from Collen. "You know you should be more polite." He scolded Collen. The other boy called Zach who had been silent up until now spoke. "I think he is just upset because he got beat up by a girl." He sneered. This kid seemed quite humorous. Collen scowled at his comment. "Well I bet you couldn't have done better." He seemed to be blushing. Zach smiled. "Oh yeah?" He challenged. Sage looked at him one brow raised. Zach stepped back one step and laughed a bit. "You're right." He admitted knowing he probably couldn't do better. Well he might but he wouldn't win. Sage knew how to fight. Considering her dad didn't have the money to put her in martial arts she trained herself. She was really good, she even practiced with her friends. They never seemed to win. Jaden smiled and laughed at the little comedy that seemed to be going on at the moment. "So where do you live?" He asked in a quizzical tone. She wasn't sure about answering but she felt she could trust them. "Not to far from here. Just on the other side of this park, in the neighborhood." She replied. She knew this Jaden could be trusted. Jaden smiled and looked at her. "We could walk you home if you like." He pondered. He was starting to look less nervous. Sage smiled and looked at the others. "Well sure if you want to. I could do without one but I'll deal." She spoke looking intently at Collen. He grunted and folded his arms. "Who said I wanted to go." He remarked. He was irritated. His shoulders where tense and he was gritting his teeth. He stood and stepped over to where his friends where. Jaden laughed and stepped up and said, "Lead the way." He spoke kindly. Sage smiled and started walking toward the stepping stones. She then stopped looking back and noticed that she had almost forgotten the groceries. She dashed back with incredible speed. But not abnormal. She grabbed the food and sprinted back. Zach looked at her jaw dropped. "Wow, you're fast!" He implied with shock. Sage raised a brow, "What do you mean?" She asked. She didn't notice how fast she was. She looked at him expecting an answer. Zach shook his head. "N-never mind." He quickly started walking to the stepping stones. He started jumping. Sage looked worriedly. "Maybe I should lead. I've walked these things thousands of time and I know a better way to get acr-" But her warning came too late. Zach had already slipped into the shallow waters. Zach's face came up spitting out the mucky water, being a bit shocked he sat there for a moment. "Dangit!" He scowled under his breathe. Collen burst out laughing at Zach's humiliation. Sage quickly set down the groceries and lept from rock to rock, the safer ones, and then crouched down holding out a hand. "Are you alright?" She asked hoping not to get him mad. Zach looked up into her eyes and was stuck for a moment. He quickly recovered and smiled reaching up to take Sage's hand. "Yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking." He smiled a little flushed. Collen rolled his eyes at Zach. "Yuck." He mumbled under his breath. Jaden punched his arm. He then bent down to pick up her groceries. Sage looked back toward Jaden and Collen after hauling Zach out of the mucky water. She leaped over picked up the remaining bags. "You don't have to carry anything." She remarked to her acquaintance. Jaden smiled his teeth sharp as well. "No its fine I don't mind." He assured. Sage sighed. "Alright, its up to you." She was starting to wonder where these guys where from. They where too polite to be from around here. She turned and started leaping from rock to rock showing which way to go without falling into the ice cold water.
As they reached a nice two story house with a stone bench and bird bath, Sage noticed that Zach was starting to shiver. He was still sopping wet. She was concerned for his health. "So where are you guys staying?" She asked wondering if they needed a ride back. Jaden looked at Sage and replied. "We're staying at the Holtez hotel." He said in a normal tone as they walked up to the door of the white and red lined house. Sage looked a bit stunned. The Holtez was on the other side of town! "Are you walking back?" She asked concerned. Seeing how Zach was soaked and it was the beginning of winter. Jaden nodded. "Yeah why?" He asked wondering why she seemed so concerned. Sage looked at Zach again. "Why don't you come in for a bit so you warm up. My dad could give you a ride if you want." She offered hoping they would accept so Zach wouldn't get sick. Collen grunted. "It's his fault if he gets sick." He remarked toward Zach. Sage rolled her eyes and stepped forward. She then gave him a whack over the head. Collen gasped a bit surprised at her actions, "Hey what was that for!?" He complained. Sage gave a slight sigh. "You must be nuts to let your friend get sick. I mean that you could get sick too if he is contagious." She then turned around and grabbed the door knob. She opened the door and stepped in holding it open so they could follow. Jaden was the first to enter. He looked at her and smiled. "Thanks." He politely gestured. Zach entered second still shivering. "Thank you." He also managed to get out. Collen hesitated but stepped in. "Thanks." He scowled. Sage smiled and nodded. Sage's father was sitting on the couch looking a bit curious. "Sage, who are they?" He asked a little concerned. Sage replied to her father's question in a polite way. "Some new friends I made on the way back from the grocery store. I bumped into Collen here." She said pointing at Collen. "This is Zach and Jaden." She pointed out the other two. "Zach kinda had a fall into the river and I don't want him to sick is all." She said to her father. Her father grunted, "This is the first time you brought some one home with you after seeing them fall into the river." He remarked. Sage rolled her eyes. "Come on dad. It's the beginning of winter, and you know how cold it gets outside." She remarked right back. Her father smiled. "I know I was just kidding around with you." He said in a husky tone. "He can stay for a while as long as he doesn't make any moves on you." He said in a joking voice. Sage frowned, "Dad! Stop that!" She complained. She hated when her dad pulled jokes like that. Zach seemed a bit taken aback at his words. But knew he was just playing. "Don't worry sir I won't do anything like that, considering what she did to Collen." He joked playfully. Sage's dad looked at Collen noticing the bruise by his cheek. "She got to you too didn't she," He said with laughter in his tone. Collen mumbled something under his breath that Sage couldn't make out but she ignored it. "Come on Zach. You could borrow a tee shirt and some of my dad's old shorts. At least while your clothes dry in the dryer." She offered knowing that he would gladly go along. Zach nodded. "Sure." He started walking with her and the others followed. They entered the laundry room. Sage searched through the clean clothes first locating a tee shirt then the shorts. She turned and handed them to Zach. "The bathroom is down the hall, the one closest to the kitchen." She listed off the directions so he could go change into the fresh warm clothes. He smiled and thanked her. He then turned and headed down the hall. Jaden looked up at Sage smiling. "Thanks for helping." He remarked to her. Sage smiled. "My pleasure. Besides, I'd feel guilty if we sent you home with a sick friend." She replied. She honestly would feel bad if he got sick trying to help her get back to her house. Collen chuckled a bit. "It wouldn't be the first time he got sick walking back to a place." He remarked. Sage looked at him as if she was surprised. "Oh that must stink." She replied sounding surprised. Jaden laughed. "Yeah, he was sneezing for a week." He chuckled. Sage looked at him not looking as surprised. "Well I can see that." She remarked. Collen laughed, "You just notice that now?" He joked. Then there was a slight crashing sound coming from the sliding glass door that lead to the back yard. They all looked at each other and then ran out of the laundry room into the kitchen. Sage, Jaden, and Collen carefully walked up to the door wondering what was outside. Then a brown, white, and black shape came out of nowhere. They all stepped back startled. Sage then sighed in relief. "Lillian! Don't do that!" She grabbed the door handle and pulled it open. A medium sized dog came padding in through the door. She had a longish nose and small head with a long fat body, short tail and long back legs and short front legs. Sage reached down and stroked her head. "You scared us girl." She remarked to her dog. Then a black lab came through the door wagging her tail. "Hey Trinity. How are you doing?" She asked the two. She looked happily at her dogs. Jaden crouched down and first let them sniff his hand. Then they let him pet their heads. "I like your dogs." He commented smiling as Trinity licked his hand. Then all of a sudden she pushed him over and started to attack his face with a bunch of licks. "Hey settle down now!" He tried to say but failed as she licked his mouth. Collen laughed as Jaden was covered in affectionate licks. "Well looks like you've got your first kiss!" He laughed with a mocking tone. Jaden finally pulled himself free from Trinity's tongue. "Well I'm not the only one who hasn't kissed anyone." He remarked looking intently at Collen. Collen turned his head blushing a bit. He looked pretty embarrassed to have a small secret revealed in front of a girl. Sage smiled and chuckled a bit. "It's fine, you're not the only one." She admitted. They both looked at her surprised. "Really?" They said at the same time. Sage smiled, "Yup. It's true." She remarked with a smirk. Collen was a bit shocked. "But she's kinda cute. Why would she have not kissed anyone yet? " He thought to himself. He was deep in thought that he didn't notice that he was staring at her. Sage looked at Collen with confused eyes. "Um.. Collen, what's wrong?" She asked wondering if she had a smudge on her face or something. He shook his clearing away the thought. He then looked back up at the girl and his friend. "Oh nothing. Just thinking." He answered with an embarrassed look on his face. Jaden laughed a bit. "What's with you Collen? You never act this way around others." He teased. Collen blushed and punched Jaden's shoulder. "Shut up!" He growled through gritted teeth. Sage snickered a bit but then looked up at him. "No it's fine really." She smiled knowing he didn't mean anything by his actions. Then Zach came around noticing that they weren't in the laundry room anymore. He turned around and headed for the living room. But as he passed through the kitchen, he noticed that they where by the sliding glass door. He also noticed that there where two dogs with them. "Hey. What's up?" He asked the three. Sage looked behind her to see Zach had finished changing. She smiled and stood. "Oh nothing. We where just talking." She replied to his question. She then looked at Collen and Jaden. They looked a bit tired. "You guys alright?" She asked a little worried. Jaden immediately looked at Sage smiling trying not worry her anymore then she was. "Yeah we're fine. Just a bit tired. We'll just call a cab." He replied.
