The Life of a Slayer By: Sophie Lavalier Chapter Two: He’s a She!!?? Viole turned to look at Migel who was apparently holding back the pain of the previous blows to the head. He looked back at her and smiled “ your Viole, right?” She smiled back and nodded. “Well let’s go find ourselves a room” Together her and Migel walked off down the corridor to find a free room. After walking the full length of the corridor they finally came across an empty room. “Well I hope this is a nice room” Migel said looking thoughtfully at her. “Yah I hope so to” she replied quietly so her voice might sound somewhat like Dallets girly voice. Migel smiled at her “you’re a girl right?” She froze and starred at him with horror and disbelief. “But how did you…you wont..? “It’s kinda obvious, I mean if you look closely enough” “But, but you wont tell wil..” “No that is just not in my nature” She almost fainted with relief “Thank you Migel ”she whispered smiling up at him. “But what I want to no is that why are you here?” Migel questioned looking at her curiously. “ Well let’s just say I wanna live dangerously” Migel accepted her answer and reached for the doorknob of the room, but turned back to look at her before opening the door. “Is your name really Viole?’ She shook her head “It’s Sophie” “That’s a pretty name” “ Thank you” Migel grinned and opened the door; Sophie watched as he peered in, an odd look crossed his face. She pushed Migel aside and looked in. Dallet was shouting loudly and jumping on one of the two king sized beds. “Um? Dallet??” Sophie said loud enough to be heard over Dallets boyish laughter. Dallet stopped mid jump and came down hard on the bed. “Oh.. Hi Migel, Viole” he said blushing and sliding off the bed. “Her names not Viole, It’s Sophie” Migel said watching her reaction out of the corner of his eye. Sophie’s mouth just drooped open and she just gaped at Migel words failing her. “HUH!!??” Dallet said looking like a brick had just hit him in the head. “That’s right she’s not a he.” “Wow, cool! Your one daring gal joining something like the slayers I mean, with the consequences and all” Dallet chided looking her over. “So then you won’t tell?” Sophie asked hopefully. “No way, I could never turn someone so daring in” Dallet said in what sounded a bit like disbelief. Sophie sighed with relief and collapsed on the nearest bed. “So Sophie” Migel said turning to face her. “I think all the guys should know you’re a girl. What do you think, like I mean since you’ll be living with them.” “Well I think I’ll only tell the ones that I know can be trusted” Sophie said sternly, “ and only I’ll tell them!’ “Agreed” Migel said nodding. “And that goes for you to Dallet!” “I can promise you I wont tell a soul.” Dallet said cheerfully. “Good! Now that that’s settled why are you in here I thought this room was free.” Migel questioned looking at Dallet firmly. “ Oh yah it’s free, it’s just we share the washroom with you. Oh and we as in me and Gattie.” “ Is Gattie nice?” Sophie inquired sitting up on the bed. “Oh yah sure, a bit serious but on the level, I think it’s safe to tell him. Probably Guimel and Chesta to, they dropped in after getting Guimel some ice for his face. Speaking of that, Migel you took quit a beating you all right?” “Kay,” Sophie answered then looked at Migels swollen face. “Yah Migel I’ll get you some ice.” She said rising and striding towards the ice box. Migel reached up and touched one of his swollen cheeks, and winced with pain. “Here” Sophie said returning with an ice pack. Migel held it tenderly to his face. “So Dallet, Why don’t you invite Chesta, Gattie, and Guimel over, so we can get to know them?” Sophie suggested smiling at Dallet who blushed and turned away. “ Sure, I’ll get them now” Said Dallet dashing out of the room. Sophie then turned to Migel. “Why did you tell him my secret right away?” Migel grinned, “Because he’s my best friend, and he’s never told a secret” “Wow your best friends and you both made it in?!” Sophie said in disbelief. “Yah, we trained real hard, and we always canceled each other out when sparring. So that we’d either fail together or go on together.” “Awh, that’s sweet. How long have you been friends??” “Ever since we were little” “I wish I had someone like that” “Like what?” “Someone that I’d grown close to, see I grew up in an orphanage.” “Really? That’s to bad. Do you know what happened to your family?” She shook her head. “Dallet was an orphan to, my family adopted him. He’s like my brother” Sophie just smiled at him. “Well this is my bed,” she said patting the bed she was seated on. Migel turned and looked at the bed next to hers. Which had the covers messed up and pillows lying on the far side of the room. He sighed starting to remake it again. Sophie laid back looking out the beautiful bay window positioned between the two beds. * She must have dozed off because next thing she knew she heard what sounded like Dallet jumping around saying ‘Time to get up, you have company!’ She opened her eyes and sat up. And indeed Dallet had been calling her for he was leaning over her bed eyeing her curiously. But immediately had jumped back when she awoke. She stretched her arms and turned to see Migel sitting at there table with a number of other Slayers, which being, Gattie, Chesta, and Guimel all who which in deep conversation. Migel turned and faced her seeing that she had awoke. “Good mourning Viole, pleasant sleep?” “Yes thank you” she replied flashing him a smile which by the looks of it, made Migel blush slightly. “ What are you blushing at Migel?” Gattie teased. Migel turned back to them grinning and blushing a deeper shade of red. “Nothing he he he” Then the rest of the group’s attention fell on her. She smiled cheerfully at them, then rubbed the sleep from her eyes. “So Viole care to join us?” Guimel added in an oddly girlish voice. She looked each of them over slowly, then at Migel. He nodded at her and smiled, showing that they were nice enough to know her secret. “It’s not Viole..” she said slowly. “Huh?” Chesta said cocking his head, making his short blond hair fall to one side. Blue eyes, watching her with interest. “It’s Sophie..” she said quiet carefully. The three slayers just starred at her expressionlessly. “You’re a girl?!” Gattie said in alarm in his cute girly voice. She nodded, “You guys wont tell anyone?” Slowly after a short pause they all shook their heads. Migel smiled, “knew you guys could be trusted” Sophie smiled appreciably at Migel who again blushed. Gattie grinned watching both of them. “Oh, so you fancy each other now do you” Migel came suddenly back to reality, “No I... I mean yes, I mean argh..!” He said in frustration. Sophie just burst into laughter.
