Seasick Cat | Harry Hook Fanfic

Chapter 13: Numbers

Shadows Pov

     It's now 11:30 at night and I'm getting ready for my lesson with Uma now. I put on some sweatpants and a t-shirt, both of with have a lion somewhere on them.

     I then put my sword holder around my waist with the sword already inside it. I the walk to the opposite side of the room that I had been on to a mirror. This merit happens to be completely intact,  which is rare for anything on the isle. I put my hair up into a messy bun so that it wouldn't get in the way and bring me from any focusing I need.

     By the time I do that it's... Only 11:36..really?! I sigh and look down at my black leather combat boots for a split second before walking over to my bed and sitting down.

     I start humming a random song,  which I soon realize is Rebel Love Song by Bvb... I sigh once again and look around my room. Some clothes scattered around the room, some random things I have stolen in my nightstand,  nothing looks out of place. Not that I had expected it to be,  but you never know when the infamous Harry Hook comes in the room.

     I look up at the ceiling and fall back on the bed. I stare at the ceiling some more... 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13. I count up and up more and more,  you see I learned this cool pattern of counting where you start with zero and one. And you keep adding your total with whatever last total was.. For example zero plus one is one. One plus one is two... Two plus one is three... Three plus two is five.. And so on.
   Very entertaining,  I know.. Catch the sarcasm? It's all I know what do do at the moment since I don't want to start drawing something again just to have stopped in the middle and forget my ideas for the drawing.

     I keep counting with that patter until I hear a tap, tap, tap.  The sound of glass being hit by something. Well,  the only glass in here us my mirror and my balcony doors,  I think it's obvious where it's coming from.
I get up from my comfortable and warm position on my bed and quickly open my balcony doors.  I step out into the fresh, warm, humid air of the isle.  I go to the fencing on the edge of the balcony and look down from there.

     It's Harry... Again?! I shake my head and look at him again wondering why the heck he would be here now! He has already seen me today. He looks me straight in the eye from the ground and motions for me to come down.

     I turn around and go back inside my room to turn off any light I had on and walk back out only to turn back around once more and close the doors. I get up on the rail and jump down to the ground and landing in a tuck and roll.  I heard quick footsteps move out of the way,  probably Harry's.  Once I get back up my side has a slight sting of pain. That's when I realize the sword handle had probably hit me in that spot when I had done that. 

I fix my shirt in attempt to get rid of the wrinkles that stunt just caused. Once this has been done I look back up at Harry and into those amazing eyes again.

     "Crazy cat." The comment that had just been uttered from Harry definitely irked me. I look at him in annoyance. I scowl slightly.

     "Tick tock,  tick tock." I taunt back at him and he just stares blankets at me,  I know it bother him,  but he wouldn't show it.

     "Anyways,  why are you here...again?" I look around to see only fatness. Harry,  and I.

     "Uma sent me, said its not safe for a little lioness like you out here. Since everyone cowers at the sight of me,  she chose me  her first mate, to walk you to the boat." he states obviously slightly proud. He the mumbles something... It sounded like, "And I wanted you to be safe... " but I wasn't sure,  so I didn't say anything. I then realize Harry's hand,  the one with out a hook is full of tiny pebbles. I chuckle a bit at it.

     He just looks at me to his and and spills of the pebbles in utter annoyance. Moody. Well, I guess that's his normal...

     I  just start walking in the direction of the boat and I hear quick steps behind me and soon Harry is to the left of me as we go down a dark alleyway and on our way to Uma..

Or so I thought.
