Chronicles
Chapter 8:
Lyconus, Naomi,
some sandwiches, and
a prank
It had been a day since the fiasco at the meeting with the magic users and suffice it to say, The Elders were Not Happy. The opinion was varied on whether or not that the entire thing should be blamed on the wolf who had been in charge of the mission. The mission, which should have been a simple matter but it seemed fate had other ideas. Ideas that came to light over what was to be a meeting with the Wiccans to ensure a contract to keep the Wiccans safe. But had turned out to be a trap to kill the Lycans and try and provoke a war. Which was a success, as the Lycans learned that the Mages who were supposedly the enemies of the Wiccans were in fact allies with them. The werewolf and those under him who had survived were lucky to have been able to make it back home. The werewolf in question was currently hiding out in the kitchens, as he was in no mood to deal with the Elders or the other Lycans. In particularly he wanted to avoid Oriqui, as she would use any opportunity she had to ridicule him. After all, the Head Wiccan had gained control of him and it was a rather weak defense for him to rely on. Her response to him was that he should have been better prepared, but he walked away cause he didn't want to argue anymore.
And so, here he was in the kitchens chewing down on his fourth baloney sandwich and thinking about the recent events that he had been through. But his peace and quiet was soon to be over with as a small girl of 12 came in with a concerned look on her face. This was Naomi, a rather annoying pain in his side that loved to bother him. Crap.. I really do NOT need this right now..
Seeing as how the little girl was like a personal favorite of Oriqui's (although she would never admit that for fear of someone capturing the girl for a revenge plot.) Lyconus had every reason to feel worried. He cursed his luck as she looked right at him and smiled. He smiled back, but it was more of a nervous smile then a happy one. “Hi Uncle Lyco, how are ya!?” The question came in a sweet yet concerned tone of voice that made him cringe cause he felt she was up to something.
“I'm... just fine...” If anyone else was there with them, they would have been able to see that he was anything but fine. And maybe even laughing at the whole thing.
“Are you sure? Cause Aunt Ori said a strong girl took over your brain.” Concern was again evident in her sweet little voice.
While his eye twitched, he groaned loudly and hit his head on the table. Making the little girl gasp in surprise and fear. He muttered a few words quietly to himself and began to savagely tear into his sandwich. “Uncle Lyco you shouldn't do that! You'll hurt yourself and lose your memories!” Her Uncle Lyco was one of her most favorite uncles, as he had been the one that saved her from the nasty hunters who had been after her cause she had been bitten by an unknown werewolf. It was one of her ultimate goals to make him and Oriqui lighten up and be more nicer to one another. It was why she took to Oriqui a lot faster cause she felt it was her mission to make her Aunt more happy and less serious like her Uncle Lyco.
Realizing that he had ignored her, she sat down next to him and looked at him expectantly in hopes that he would talk to her. Course she knew he was upset and that when he ate, it would be awhile before he was done. But nevertheless she would stay with him until he was done. Feeling a little hungry herself, she made her own sandwich. A triple baloney/cheese/ketchup marvel and she noticed that Lyconus was looking at her sandwich out of the corner of his eye and she could feel that he was proud of her for making such a marvelous sandwich. She smiled at him and started to eat. She felt a little bad that she knew that her Aunt Ori and the old people were planning a cruel prank on Lyconus for his failure on the Mission and that it was for her to keep him occupied. Although she did find it funny for what they wanted to do. “Maybe I should sing you a song Uncle Lyco, how would you feel about that?” She had hope in her sweet caring voice but was saddened when Lyconus shook his head in the no fashion really fast and ended up hurting one side of his neck.
After swallowing down his food and could breathe properly again he looked at Naomi. “Sorry squirt, but right now I don't think you and your beautiful singin' voice can help. Maybe next time okay?” He knew he would regret asking for a later time but he would deal with it when the time came.
She smiled at him and nodded happily at his suggestion and went back to eating. After finally finishing off her triple sandwich, she sighed happily and then stood up and got on her tip toes and kissed her Uncle on the cheek and skipped away happily. The Lycan looked at her retreating form in a strange way and wondered if she was up to something as she usually was. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating, never noticing that a rather large dinosaur was sneaking up on him. As he put the last of his fourth sandwich in his mouth, the dinosaur tapped his shoulder and he slowly turned around while being a bit annoyed that he was being disturbed again. But when his eyes laid upon the the dinosaur, his face paled as he realized just who exactly this dinosaur was. “Hi ya Lyco! How are you doing today buddy!” It was none other then Barney the Happy Purple Dinosaur.
Oh god no.. Hell has come at last and I'm the first victim!! He screamed inside his head but he could not do anything else and except look on in slight fear at the abomination.
