Kate: Lesson 1

"NO!," I said dropping the fruit. Devil scampered over and ate a piece. " I mean n-no we are just friends," I said picking it back up and placing the food back in.

"Yea right Kate, you totally are," Rita said smugly

"Ok, Ok we aren't and I an't that kinda girl that will talk about boys, I prefer dragons.  Besides people would tease us non-stop and I would literally explo-" I began to say then BANG the oatmeal pot lid blew off. We both looked at each other and laughed, just as Aidan walked in with his Uniform and Shadow Cloud trailing behind him. He had taken the early shift and he looked tired.

“What’s so funny?” He asked. Rita nudged me playfully I gave her a panicked look.

"Oh me and Kate where playing follow the leader and it was the oatmeals turn," Rita said laughing

“Ooookay then! Well, I’m gonna go change out of the uniform, someone else needs to do patrol shift. Breakfast almost ready?” he replied.

“Oh! I’ll take patrol!” Kate hastily replied. “Rita, can you please finish breakfast, I’ve got some stuff I’ve got to do out on patrol. Yea. Stuff.”  I quickly walked into my room to change, in the corner of my eye I caught Rita mouth "Coward" I rolled my eyes.

"Why can't they except that I and Aidan are just friends," I asked me dragons,  Stormslicer brought me my uniform from off the chest, I rubbed his horn

"Thanks, nanny" I teased him, He shot a single spine at me, mocking me

"Hey mister, don't you shoot that at me," I said tackling him to the floor. Stormslicer squawks and pushes me to my back,  he brought up his talon and tickled me.

"Ahahaha stop, hahahahahahaha, no really, hahahahahahahah I am ticklish there" tears were streaming in my eyes from laughter. Devil and Sniper jumped off the bed and started to prod at me also.

"Ahhhahahahahhahahah" I laughed into the morning air. Finally, they stopped and I put on my uniform and walked out of the room. Everyone was eating the oatmeal.

"Hey, Aidan,"  I asked stopping to pick up Devil. I saw Rita and Isla exchange looks. "Shut Up" I mouthed

"Yea," He said his mouth full of oatmeal

"mind watching Devil, at least while I am still on patrol?" Aidan swallowed hard

"Ummm, don't you think it would be better if you took him.?"

"No, Please" I didn't give him time to answer because I plopped Devil down into his hands and walked off. Hopped on Stormslicer and went onto patrol.

_____________________________________________________________________________________ I walked in from patrol, tierd from having to run from a flock of Changwings, and then I got way to close to the Fireworm nest, so yea rough day. I took out a bucket and filled it with ice water.

I rolled up my pant leggings and put my soar and burned feet into the water.

"Ah," I said sighing, the cold outnumbered the pain of the heat. The changwing burned a hole in the toe of my shoe,, missing my foot but it did get it a little just not doing full damage. I sat there for a while enjoying the cold. Rita walked out of her room and looked at me and sighed

"Again Kate? Why do you always have to get yourself hurt?"

" I dunno, I just do stuff and get h-h-h-h-urt" I stammered, I had noticed that the more I hung out with people the less I stammered. Which was a good thing for me. Rita went out to see what Aud and Isla were doing. The ice water was no longer cold so I dumped it out and took my shoes off.

"Ughh, I now ruined my new shoes and have to wait until the next batch comes in." I walked into my room looking for leather but found none. I walked up to Aidan's room and nocked. Still noticing the ice wasn't removed.

"Hi, Kate," Aidan said coming to the door with multiple scratches and Devil on the floor growling

"Oooh, letta me guess. Devil trying to get you again?"

"Yea, no luck," He said wincing

"Um well, I now I have two questions for you, 1. Do you have any spare leather?"

,"No I don't think so why?"

"Don't ask long story, 2. do you wanna train devil down at the training area? I think it would help you bond better."

"Urm., sure for a little bit." Aidan said grabbing some treats and straightening his uniform. I walked in and Scooped up Devil.

"Stormslicer and Sniper why don't you guys go and play with shadow cloud?" I asked scratching them both under the chin. They both squawked and head off. We went out into the landing pad to train him, nice open area for him to run and play and learn.

"Alrighty, Lesson 101, don't kill Aidan." I said putting him down

"Wouldn't it be, lesson 1?"

"Yea but that sounds ten times as boring, 101 sounds better for some reason." I replied, "Now I have never seen a wooly howl, well except Chinoe, so I don't know how to teach him, but I have to try.  Aidan try reaching out your hand to pet him,"

"Ow this is gonna hurt, Aidan said reaching out his hand and then closing his eyes bracing for impact.  Devil opened his jaws wide ready to chomp.

"DEVIL NO!" I yelled at him, he retracted his jaw and focused his attention on me. Just as Aidan's hand hit home. Devil felt his hand and scampered back a few feet at first scared of his hand. I scooted up to Aidan's hand and held it still then motioned for Devil to come forward

"''This feels weird and if anybody where here they would make fun of me." '' My panicked thoughts muttered. Devil slowly came towards me,

"Its ok buddy, look nothing bad about this hand, I mean it's not attached to a man who could kill you," I said chuckling nervously, I didn't want Aidan to get even more hurt on my behalf.

"not helping Kate." Aidan murmered still eyes closed

"Ok Aidan we are so close just stay like this until I say." I whispered, he nodded. Devil inched closer and sniffed his hand, finally Devil let him touch him. I felt Aidan's hand twitch slightly at the touch. I let go of his hand and scooted back.

"Ok, Aidan open your eyes slowly and just wait for Devil to come to you."

"Ok," Aidan opened his eyes and blinked, Devil blinked too, they stared at each other for a while. Then Devil took a few steps closer Aidan'sans body sniffing. Aidan stifled a laugh,  Devil got closer and closer and finally snuggled up to him letting Aidan stroke his curly fur.

"Yes, succses" I breathed as I lay back, we have finally gotten somewhere on this training.

"Oh my thor, he is so soft." I heard Aidan say, I giggled

"Yea see what you have been missing, now we can finally train him," I said sitting up.

"Now we can really see what he can do," Aidan replied as he scooped Devil up and walked into the Clubhouse. I followed,

"Hey, Aidan why don't you take Devil for the night so you can bond more get better trust and respect."

"Ok, who is taking the next shift?"

" I think Rita," I said as he walked into his room. Just then Rita entered the room in her uniform.

"Going out on patrol, oh and by the way Kate, I saw what you were doing out there, good job on taming Devil." She said smirking, she new more.

"Thanks." I said as I headed to bed
