Where there's Shadow, there's always Light

Chapter 7

I woke up to the light sound of chirping birds and musical humming, stretching I stand up my bed and tried to pray my eyes open. My vision was blurry with sleep so I couldn't see anything but a mixture of colours but still I got out of bed and onto my wobbling feet. I stumbled over the cupboard, feeling around and trying not but into anything as my eyesight was still extremely blurry, and grabbed some underwear and socks. Ahh where's my clothes? I twisted around looking for leggins and hoodie and eventually spotted them laying on the some cabinet, all folded and clean. Toothia must have washed them, bless her! Haha. I threw on my leggins, grabbed my hoddie and then remembered I need ed a top, seeing as my old one wasn't here. Obviously Tia thought it wasn't good enough, which i have to agree with. I ran back over to the cupboard and grabbed a t-shirt with a cartoon elf on the front and tugged it on, then put my hoodie on over it getting more awake and happy by the minute . I went to the mirror and inspected myself, I looked well happy, I was glowing. My flaming muticoloured hair was very bright, messy and fuzzy around my tanned bright face, my eyes complimented my hair as they were also very bright today, almost a complete sparkling gold. I must have woken up in a good mood. I grinned and skipped out the door of my room. I practically ran down the hall and into the elevator, then bounced about trying to control my happy and hyperness as the lift bolted downward. Once the doors opened to the 2nd floor where the kitchen was and the formal dinning room, I shot out and fell on the floor as I hit into something hard. A brick wall it felt like.

"Ooft" I let out as a huff of air escaped from my lips when I hit the floor. I sat up and looked up at the brick wall in front of me. Nick stood there with his hand outstretched for me to take.

"What you doing down there" He chuckled as I grabbed his hand and he pulled me back on to my feet. I smiled sheepishly.

"Oh just inspecting the floor, you know." I said with a serious face which made Nick burst of laughing, his laugh boomed around the area bouncing off the walls.

"And was my floor up to your standards?" Nick asked with a smirk, playing along with my game.

"Hmm nope, I've seen much better floors than this. I'm disappointed in you Nick" I said sternly before walking down the hall listening to Nick mighty roar of a laugh once again. Nick caught up to me and opened a door which reviled a large diamond room, a long table sat in the middle with over 20 chairs placed around it. Unlike last time I had food here, the table didn't have any food on it and the chairs didn't have anyone in them either.

"Where's everyone else?" I asked sitting down on one of the comfy cushioned chairs and leaning my elbows on the table with my hands under my chin, holding up my head.

"Erm... Tooth is in the Tooth Place, Sandy out and about doing what every he's doing, Bunnys sleeping I think, the lazy git and Jacks gone for a fly down to the nearest town, probably making it snowy and frosty" Nick said shrugging his large shoulders. Ohh Jacks making it frosty huh? Aha I have a wicked idea, I'll go melt all his frost and snow. That'll bug him. Before I could stop myself, I let out a low evil laugh or ..giggle. Nick looked at me strangely before carrying on talking.

"Were going to start training, Jack and Bunny will help when they get up or get back and Tooth will get here when she can and the same for Sandy." Nick said with a smile, just then a elf came stumbling in with a plate of fruit and toast with jam, he walked over and tried to put the plates on the table but obviously couldn't reach. I smirked and lent down to get the plates of him, placing them on the table. The little elf smiled up at me before running back through the door where he had come from, falling over a couple of times as he went.

"Erch elves ..I dunno why I don't just get rid of them" I heard Nick grumble as I chewed on my toast. I went off into a daze then, just staring at the corner of the table chewing on whatever food I stuffed into my mouth, until I heard Nick say something.
