Thicker Than Blood

Perfect Match

I'm not use to writing hot-headed characters. Serena is suppose to be short tempered and the epitome of confidence so if she comes off as a jerk, my apologies.

(Serena)*** >:3***

 Energy coursed through my veins as I bounced in place waiting in front of the large building. I hated waiting. I hated it very much, this Kneller guy was slow. He was suppose to open the doors to the barn thing like, a minute ago.

 I could feel Cato's eyes on me as I chewed on the strings hanging from my sweater. Growling lowly as the seconds dragged on, my eyes flicked to my little brother. He stood stiffly next to a boy with solid white hair being tugged around by wind that followed him everywhere. Chester. He was a wind Elemental. The human boy that stood next to Chester I didn't know. Jay was speaking softly with the two, the human twitching every few seconds.

 My bouncing turned into actual jumping and I snarled in irritation, "How long is he going to make us wait?!" Cato snickered at me as my sudden yell made Jay flinch.

 "Chilax, Kneller will be here soon." I sent a hard glare at Chester, "I'll shove your chilax right up your-" "REN!" Everyone turned toward Jay's yell, crossing my arms I snorted "What?" His head turned toward me and his eyebrows pulled together in a stern look.

 He failed at being stern, everything about him was soft. So how was it I could never win in a fight against him? I could kick Cato's ass, but I couldn't even lay a finger on Jay. He cheats. I know he does.

 That's the only logical explanation. I was the best, and I couldn't beat him. He was definitely a cheater.

 "Cheater." I snapped the word at Jay and he sighed softly shaking his head in a confused, exasperated manor. Jay's head lifted and he turned toward something,  only moments later my ears picked up the sound of clicking hooves on the ground. Turning I looked at the man walking up to us, his lower half was covered in brown, wavy fur. His feet were solid black hooves, they would be a nice perk in a fight. I could kick someone in the face with those and they would go down faster than I could say king. Smiling at the thought I snickered to myself eyeing the horns curling out of the top of his head. The long ears that hung down flicked as he looked up and blinked two very big eyes.

 "Oh. Wow you look just like Todd.... How interesting... The resemblance is so obvious." He mumbled to himself as he quickly marched up to Jay and introduced himself poking at Jay's wings.

 His eyes turned on Cato and he jumped over and did the same thing, poking around my brother's body and mumbling to himself. His eyes flicked to me briefly and he paused, suddenly snapping his head back and running up to me.

 I could see a sparkle in his eyes "Fantastic muscle build! More like your fathers than Todd. Obviously, you'll be making the change soon..." He murmur and pulled my eye lid up to look at my eyes, I slapped his hands away and he chuckled "Hot tempered. You'll be a large wolf. Strong fighter.... You're feathers are split, you should take better care of them and yet still so soft. You use your wings a lot."

 I pulled myself away from him glaring, "You wanna stop being a creep and do your job goat boy?" He smirked down at me and stood up straight, "Very hot tempered..."

 He paused and eyed me, "My name is Kneller. Not goat boy." Jay stood next to Chester and snorted catching the older man's attention, "Manors are not her strong suite." I mocked Jay's tone earning a harsh glare from him in my vague direction.

 Kneller moved and opened the doors to the large building and the noises of many animals reached me.

 As I walked ahead of everyone else after the animal man he turned to gesture to the high walls of the open building. The center was open all the way up, two stair cases on either side lead up to wide paths lining the walls. At the other end of the building there were more stairs leading up to the next story, and so forth.
