Strangely, instead of running or hiding, she put her duffel bag on her new bed and waited on the couch for her 'company'.
What good would it it have done if she did flee or hide? They're werewolves, they'll sniff her out. And what if she gets captured by Tyrone's father in the process?
Then less than a minute into sitting, Katelyn heard the handle rattle then the lock mechanism activate.
After an uncanny quiet, a nasal girlish voice hissed, "Beth, you were supposed to UN-lock the door." "But I did!" argued a scratchy, high pitched voice. "Then why are we still standing out here?" the nasal girlish voice challenged. "I don't know..." "Give me the key!"
Next instant, the door swung open and a beautiful brown skinned girl with pouty lips and curled blonde hair waltzed in wearing booties, a shimmering skirt and a top stretched by her heaving chest.
"Suzie, my key!" whined a brunette with straight eyebrows and a fuller lower lip who was holding onto her arm but consequently was being dragged. "No! Your inability to do a task, Beth, is why I should-" the blonde froze upon seeing Katelyn and dropped the key. Beth instantly picked it up then her brown eyes caught sight of the redhead but she waved at her excitedly.
"Why you guys are blocking the doorway?" complained someone with a strong Indian accent.
Suzie didn't respond but a second later, a brown skinned girl with a thigh length braid squeezed between the two and rose her arched eyebrows exaggeratedly. After her came a dark skinned girl with an extravagant afro who just passed the redhead by. And lastly, the girl Katelyn had seen sparring Thursday appeared but now with Japanese features.
It was the brunette who approached her.
She took Katelyn's hand in hers and giddily exclaimed, "Hi, I'm Beth!"
"H-How did you get IN here?" The Indian girl asked, between the blonde and brunette. Beth then gasped. "Are you a new student?"
"Kinda, I'm here for my protection," Katelyn confessed.
"From who?" she pressed. "Tyrone's dad."
Then she stepped closer, her lips pressed firmly together. "And so you were put near the epicenter of the territory of the Alpha that wishes to kill you? Whose brilliant idea was that?"
When it's said like that, it doesn't sound so great.
"おそらくバスカヴィルのものだ、アリシカ。我らのアルファ、タイロン、彼らの狂気はどこかから来た," the Japanese girl in response to the Indian girl. At that, she stroked her long braid while looking away.
As for Katelyn, that was the strangest Japanese she'd ever heard.
"Do you want tea?" Beth asked randomly. "Uh, sure." The brunette then got up and basically skipped to the kitchen.
Suzie flipped her hair, no longer in a trance. "Come, I'll see your clothes," she said, pulling Katelyn to her feet. "Rin, can you bring the tea when Beth finishes making it?" The Japanese girl nodded.
As the two headed for the bedroom-bathroom block opposite the conjoined kitchenette and dining room, Arishka glanced at Rin.
This is going to be trouble, her comment echoing in Rin's head. たぶん。しかし、彼が気にしているとは思わない, she replied, sighing outwardly.
----
おそらくバスカヴィルのものだ、アリシカ。我らのアルファ、タイロン、彼らの狂気はどこかから来た- Likely Baskerville's, Arishka. Tyrone, our Alpha, they got their insanity from somewhere.
たぶん。しかし、彼が気にしているとは思わない - Perhaps. But I don't think he cares.
A/N: Rin speaks Middle Japanese.
