WARNING: The Following is a Continuing Story Arc, and May End in a Cliffhanger:
So there I was… out of breath
and waiting for Buck to arrive at the park. So I waited… And waited… And waited…
And waited… And waited… And waited… And waite- okay, I think you get the
picture.
I waited a total of ten minutes,
but I was counting every second that I waited for Buck’s “army” to illuminate
what exactly I was even waiting for. Buck’s vagueness and suspense never worked
so well… that and the magic squirrel thing (that phrase must sound so weird out
of context). Ten minutes of waiting finally amounted to the anticipated arrival
of Buck and Luke.
Luke was tall, standing at 5’’7,
and bore straight, golden hair, barely reaching down to his ears. His eyes were
an icy blue, and his skin was whiter than… a piece of printer paper. Printer
paper’s pretty white.. That’s a pretty good analogy.
Luke was Buck’s cousin, along
with pretty much half of the town. Cloverdale was Hunt-Territory, and if you
messed with any of them, the whole town was against you. This gave Buck a sort
of diplomatic immunity when it came to adventuring; if we just so happened to
step on private property, we’d get off Scott Free, and wouldn’t have to sneak
around like spies (however, we did some times ‘cause playing spy is fun!). Once
a landowner saw the trademark Hunt blonde hair, he knew he mustn't mess with
this group of trespassers.
The two walked down the street
to the park, both with amazingly serious expressions. Buck was holding the
Spell Book in one arm, and a notebook in the other. The two wore matching
sunglasses, which may sound kinda tacky, but Buck could pull of sunglasses and
he knew it. As the two slowly strutted down Clark Ave. to the meeting place, I couldn't help but gaze at the total bad-ass looking duo.
I wiped off the sweat of my
forehead and fixed my hair in the camera of my phone. I coolly walked over to
the two, slyly saying, “Oh yeah, we’re doing that meeting
thing today, aren’t we?” I couldn’t let
Buck know that his tactic of anticipation worked on me.
