Okay, so I'm completely stroked that a fan wrote a short scene for one of
my teen Guardians. I have these amazing bloggers who love the GL series and they even astarted blogs for their fav characters.
The Guardians, if you haven't started the series, have abilities to manipulate elements. Since there are 6 teens in the junior team, the guys seem to have quite a following (poor ladies). Needless to say, there's
Fire/Energy Guardian (Sykes) blog, that's where the fan-fic was posted,
Water/Ice Guardian (Bran) blog and the more recently started
Earth/Solid Guardian (Remy) blog. If you've read the series, join your favotie team.
Anyhew, enjoy the fan-fiction below. Meanwhile, my WIP is nearly 50% done...woohoo!!!
HERE IS THE FAN-FIC. by Jeanette (From Team Fire Blog)...ENJOY
Ok, so here's some fan-fic for Ednah who has
created these characters that we love so much. I'm so excited! I'll set it up
for you. Sykes meets a girl, and ~gasp~ her name is Jeannette. She's just
moved with her younger half-brother and her mom from Texas. This is Sykes &
Jeannette's first encounter
I saw her storm out the front
door of the school with her backpack slung over one shoulder. She hit the door
so hard I heard it bang against the outside wall. Whoa, this girl was feisty.
I ran after her.
“Hey! Hey wait up. Jeannette. It’s Jeannette right?” She
stopped but didn’t turn around. One hand was in a tight fist while the other
held on to the strap of her backpack. I could see her take a deep breath like
she was trying to fight down rage or tears, I couldn’t tell which. The breeze
blew her brown wavy hair and I could smell her vanilla shampoo.
“Hey, I’m sure
whatever it is that’s got you so worked up, it’s not worth getting caught
skipping class your first week of school.”
She slowly turned and looked at me.
Anger flashed in her dark brown eyes. She took another deep breath. “Why does
it matter to you if I get in trouble or not?”
I grinned at her. “It doesn’t
really. I’m a sucker for a girl who likes a little trouble.”
“Uh huh. Well
I’m sure that adorable smile and bad boy charm works on all the other girls, but
my B.S. limit has been reached for the day. So, I’ll see ya.” She turned and
started walking, completely unaware of how her southern accent affected
me.
“Wait, can I at least walk with
you? I’ve got a free hour and I need to stretch my legs.” She stopped and
without turning said, “Whatever.”
“So, where’d you move
from?”
“Texas.”
“Nice. How are you adjusting?”
Out of the corner of my eye I saw her mouth tighten. After a few seconds I
wasn't sure she was going to answer.
“Well, considering I didn't know
we were moving until two days before it happened, my mom is acting all weird, my
step-dad is MIA and my only friend is my little brother, I’d say I’m just
peachy. I have no idea why I just told you all of that.”
Grinning, I said, “I have that
effect on people. And hey, you can count me as a friend.” I looked over at
her as she rolled her eyes.
“Oh geez. Does that crap really work on the girls
around here?” Shaking her head “and y’all question our intelligence.” We had
reached the end of school property and she turned toward the wooded area
bordering the football field. She glanced over. “Are you just going to follow
me like some hall monitor on a power trip?”
I chuckled. She reminded me a
little of another feisty girl with a sharp tongue. “I’m no hall monitor. I
don’t think they’d trust me to enforce the “no running in the halls” rule. I
just thought I’d get a little fresh air and see what had you damaging school
property.”
We came to a small cluster of
trees where she chucked her bag to the ground, sat down with her back against a
tree. She leaned her head back and closed her eyes. Some of the tension left
her body as she took another deep breath. I sat down next to her our knees
touching. She opened one eye and looked at me. “You do know what personal
space is right? “
“Yes, but the presence of
another warm body can often ease a person’s anxiety.”
“Seriously, do girls really eat
that up? They must since you seem to have a line for everything.”
Instead of answering her I
leaned back with my hands behind my head and looked up at the sunlight shifting
through the leaves. It was one of those days when the weather seemed to make a
conscience effort to be enjoyable. I found it interesting that I just wanted to
sit there and relax. I usually felt like a lightning bolt was zipping through
my veins. Weird. “Are you going to tell me why you stormed out of school?”
She sighed. “Algebra and that
stupid algebra teacher, whatever his name is. It’s not like I don’t know how to
do the problems. We just learned a different way of doing them. I mean who
cares what strategies you use as long as you get the right answer.” I could see
her fists clench like she was trying to hold on to something. Or hold something
inside.
“Yah, Landis is a stickler for
his way or no way. You know I've forgotten my manners. My name is Sykes.”
She
turned her head but didn't open her eyes. “Oh I know your name. I've heard it
spoken by almost every female in school, faculty included. Your reputation
precedes you.” She smirked and turned her head back.
“Hey, don’t fault me for being
such a friendly guy. Most people would consider that a good thing.”
“Well I’m not most people. So
if you want to go spread your version of southern hospitality to those who
appreciate it, you’re not required to stay.” I looked over at her. The breeze
picked up a strand of her hair. I caught it and ran my thumb over the soft
wave. Before she opened her eyes I let it go.
“How long has your step-dad been
gone?”
She stiffened. “I don’t know. A couple of months I guess.” Shrugging
she said, “It’s not like we were that close. But it hurts my little brother and
mom.”
I nodded.
Then she opened her eyes and
looked at me. Her dark eyes standing out against her pale skin sprinkled with
freckles. “She won’t give me a straight answer as to why she moved us here or
why he HAS to go to THIS school. We've never had secrets."
I could see the
confusion and hurt swirling like a storm inside her.
The wind blew a small leaf on to
her arm. I brushed it off and as soon as my hand touched her I felt that
lightning bolt zap something inside of me. She jumped back, shocked. I
breathed out, “What the hell?”
She swallowed. “What the heck
was that?”
I stared at her. What was it
about her that calmed me one minute then electroshocked my heart the next?
“You’re not all human are you?”
She blanched. “What?! We shock each other
with static electricity or something and the first thing you jump to is I’m not
all human?! Who asks that? I guess you've reached your nice guy limit.” She
picked up her backpack and stormed off towards the school. After a few yards
she stopped and turned to look at me. Shaking her head she turned back to the
school and rounded the corner. I had no idea what had just happened, but for
the first time in my life a girl had freaked me out.
LOVE IT!!!! What do you guys think???
