Ratchet and Clank: The Warrior's heart

Chapter 2

I closed the door of my room as gave a sigh of relief. They had no clue that I had skipped training. I looked around my white room which was empty except for my uncomfortable bed and the mirror that stood beside it. I caught a glimpse of my reflection in the mirror and sighed like I always did whenever I saw myself. I looked nothing like I did a year ago, my aperance was no longer sweet and innocent, instead it was more of a rebel look.

I wore a red and black shredded crop top, a gray leather jacket, one gray fingerless glove on my left hand, dark blue jeans, and black combat boots with crimson red straps. My hair was slightly messy and almost covered the entire right side of my face. I kept my hair more to the right side of my face because I have a pink scar over my eye, I received that scar when I got caught trying to skip training I also got two small nicks in my upper right ear because of that as well. I wasn't lying when I said those wolfdren are mean.

I continued to look at my reflection in the mirror, I let out another long sigh as I traced one of the jagged stripes that covered my body. You see jagged stripes are also known as the marks of a mistake and whenever a lombax has these stripes there usually treated like crap. It's a good thing lombaxs with jagged stripes are extremely rare. Sometimes I wonder if my father abandoned me because of my strips.

I looked down and bite my lip at the though. If my father is still alive, would he even accept me because of my stripes? I walked over to my bed and sat down. The bed was made of metal and that's why it was uncomfortable. I haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time, in fact it's been a year. I'm to busy worrying about the wolfdren and if there just going to break down my door and drag me out of my room like they've done a few other people.

I heard a faint knocking at my door which scared me half way to death. I jumped up from my metal bed and slowly walked towards my door. I slowly gripped the metal doorknob. "Who's there?" I asked while slowly twisting the knob.

"Calm down mate, it's just me." A female's thick Australian accent calmly said as I opened the door. Standing at the door was my friend Aqua. Aqua had light blue skin, dark blue fin ears, dark blue fins on her head that went down her back, more dark blue fins on the end of her long tail and she had deep brown eyes. Aqua was also dressed in a red jump suit and she wore gray boots. I've known Aqua since I got here because we've in the same group for training.

I relaxed slightly knowing it was someone that wasn't going to try and kill me. "You almost gave me a panic attack!" I yelled out. I really hate being scared.

"Relax miss lombax tail." She snickered warmly. She called me miss lombax tail because every female lombax she's seen didn't have a tail while I on the other hand had a long slender tail.

I rolled my crystal blue eyes slightly as I crossed my frail arms. "Did you need something?" I asked calmly.

Aqua nodded while swishing her tail slightly. "Afraid so mate, Dr. Rufford said he needed you right now." She paused for a moment while looking me in the eyes. "He said if you don't hurry up he'll send the wolfdren to come and get you."

My eyes widened slightly, he must have found out. I'm gonna be in big trouble aren't I? I gave a nervous nod, I was trying really hard to keep in all my nervousness but it wasn't working out too well. "Where is he?" I asked shakily.

"He's in his lab mate." She responded calmly. I nodded and walked out my room. Aqua seemed to be worried about me. "Don't let him kill you!" She called as I walked down the now empty hallway.

I'll try not to... I though to myself.
