Chapter 9
Mitchel looked around the table. Everyone was eating their frozen dessert in silence. Timothy and Garroth, two people Troy invited, had yet to arrive.
Michal sighed. "What are these new kids like?" He asked no one I'm particular.
Mitchel sighed. "Well, Timothy is an odd one. He talks to himself and he always uses sarcasm. Garroth I'd like the mediator for Timothy. He's calm and serious, and he is able to control him.
Troy chuckled. "Timothy sure is an odd one."
"Why do you say that?" Leyna asked, putting the spoon in her mouth.
"Well, he told me this joke, and it was so dumb it was funny."
"What was it?" Aristide asked, stirring his treat with his spoon.
"Well, it was-"
"'Sup my fellows!" Came a loud and goofy voice.
"Timothy, be quiet." Came a serious and calm one.
"Come now, Garroth! No one else is here! Besides..."
Their conversation vanished from Mitchel's hearing capacity. He turned towards Leyna and Michal, who clearly were straining to hear them. "Nothing." Leyna said, her voice strained and breathless.
Zoe rubbed her chin, while Fair stared at Timothy. "Isn't Timothy just adorable?"
Aristide chuckled. "That was a very funny joke, Fai."
"I'm serious!" Fair said, clearly shocked at how Aristide handled her words.
Timothy plopped into the seat next to Mitchel, while Garroth sat down gently on the seat next to Timothy. "So," Timothy said. "what do you people think?"
Garroth sighed. "Sorry, he is doing it again."
"'Doing it again'? Doing what again?"
"Talking to himself. He talks like someone is actually there, I think he is slightly insane, just sayin'."
"You know, I think this place it quite nice. Oh who am I kidding, it is just like any old Fro-yo place." Timothy said.
"It is the best Frozen Yogurt place though!" Zoe argued, taking another spoonful of yogurt.
Timothy blinked, then looked around at everyone. "I did it again, huh?" he said, sliding down in his chair.
"Yes, you did." Garroth said, clasping onto the key around his neck.
Mitchel raised an eyebrow. He had seen Garroth with it earlier, but he didn't know what it was for, or if it was just decoration, or...Mitchel shuddered. Before he could ask Garroth about it, a soft voice stopped him from doing anything.
"Hey guys..."
Mitchel whipped around to see Andrea standing there. Her cheeks were red when she saw Mitchel's happy face, and Timothy almost fell back in his chair. "Whoa..." he said, standing up.
"My name is Timothy Claw, nice to meet you. What is your name?"
"Andrea Marks..."
Timothy's grip on her hand tightened. Her eyes widened, and she bit her lip. "Timothy...your hand..."
Garroth walked over, and stared intently at her. He mumbled something in Timothy's ear, and he nodded. "Sorry," Timothy said, regaining his sarcastic composure. "I thought you were someone else, that is all."
Andrea nodded, before turning to Garroth. He held out his hand. "Garroth Spell."
Andrea smiled. She then turned to look at the others, her expression hardened. She walked over to them, poking Mitchel's chest. "Do you know what happened? Also, how did I get in my pajamas? My brother nor my parents changed me!"
Mitchel felt his face heat up. Sweat started dripping down his face. "Uh...I...uh..."
Timothy walked over to him. "Great job man, you got to see her naked, lucky man." he whispered in his ear before plopping back down into the chair.
Andrea smiled. "Sorry, that came out wrong." She hugged Mitchel. "Thanks for helping me."
Mitchel was shocked at first, but eventually put his arms around her.He bent down and put his head in the crook of her neck and smelt her hair. On accident, of course. It smelled like coconuts and mint. He squeezed her a bit tighter and then let her go. When she looked at him again, his heart raced.
Timothy squealed. "My new OTP! Totally ship it!" He said, standing up to meet their shocked faces.
Everyone else laughed when they saw Andrea and Mitchel's expression. Timothy gave them a toothy grin before skipping over to order some frozen yogurt. Garroth looked at them apologetically, but he still had an amused smile on his face as he walked to join Timothy.
Andrea pulled up a chair, sitting between Zoe and Fai. She sighed. "Thank you all for helping me." She said.
Michal raised an eyebrow. "I missed something, huh?"
Fai nodded. "Did you and Mitchel fall in love?" She asked, suddenly extremely excited.
Andrea smiled shyly. "No, I just got sick, that's all."
Mitchel nodded. As he looked at Andrea, he realized something. He liked her, and that was not a good thing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Andrea looked at her family. "Are you sure I can come to this meeting?"
Her mother nodded. "The Monster Hunters are going to explain everything."
Andrea looked up at the double doors before pushing them open. She looked around confused. "Where is the meeting-"
Corey had opened up a secret passage way, and was motioning her to enter.
Andrea walked nervously in, before she came to another door. She pulled on the handle and opened it. When she looked around, three people were standing there, two of them arguing.
"What the hell? Why did you not check in after your little date?"
"Why the hell would I do that Darrin? Besides, I was with a group, not just one person! It was not a date!" Came a familiar voice.
"Calm down you two, the Marks' will be here soon." Came another familiar voice.
Andrea then realized who they were. "Timothy? Garroth?" She asked, cocking her head.
Timothy looked a her, the guy named Darrin's head in the crook of his arm. Garroth was busy trying to pull the two apart. Timothy let go of Darrin and walked over to her. "Hey yo, Special One." He smirked, winking.
Andrea blinked. "You are a Monster Hunter?"
"Yep," Timothy said, popping the 'p'. "me and Garroth here, oh, and Darrin are." the way he said the other guy's name made it clear to Andrea he didn't like him.
Darrin scowled before walking over to her. "Hello, my name is Darrin. I am the head man's son."
Timothy muttered something under his breath, causing Garroth to nudge him with his elbow. Timothy glared at him, but calmed down as he looked back at Andrea. "Anyways," Garroth started. "we need to explain how you are important and what to expect form now on."
Once Andrea sat down, they explained everything. She had the power inside her to defeat a certain creature's king, but she didn't know which one yet. Also, a lot of mythical creatures roamed her school, so she had to be on her guard now that t'd be easier for them to tell she was a Monster Hunter due to her immense power.
"Corey will teach you how to suppress the power." Darrin said, gesturing to her older brother.
Corey nodded. "It is very important to suppress your power. If you don't, then they will sense it immediately. I'm sure just going to see your friends caught the attraction of at least one monster along your path."
Andrea sighed. She looked up. "Teach me how to use it, so that I may hide myself from anyone who may think to harm me."
Corey grinned. "As you wish."
