Aidan

Everybody, but Kate, wanted to play, which was great! Knowing Isla and Aud, they're the crazy type to attempt almost every dare, which was ideal. Aud looked a bit too energetic, and Isla looked too confident. Isla span the bottle, and it landed on.... Aud! ''"Okay Aud, truth or dare?" ''Isla asked Aud.

-

After we finished playing a crazy game of truth or dare, I looked over at the time and saw it was getting pretty late. ''"Woah, is that the time already? Today went by quick." ''I said to Shadow Cloud, as we entered our room. ''"Your sleeping area is over there, if you have any problems, please do tell me. Oh wait... you can't talk!" ''I said to Shadow Cloud, before uncontrollably laughing. You can tell I was sleep deprived by me laughing at something that wasn't even funny. ''"Alright alright alright, I'll stop." ''I then added, as I stopped laughing. I picked up my bag which was on the bed, and went through the things in there. I picked out my books, Shadow Cloud's brush, and other things. The last two things in there were the most important to me. My aunt's bracelet and the mini axe Alice gave me. I put the axe on a shelf, and I wore the bracelet on my right hand. With the other things I already took out, I put them on the shelf, too. Though I made it so that Alice's mini axe stood out from the rest. And just like that, I went to sleep.

The next morning I was woken up Shadow Cloud. ''"What is it?" ''I asked Shadow Cloud, while still laying down in bed. I looked up at the time, then realized what was wrong. I have early shift! I jumped out of bed and headed straight to the bathroom. I did the usual morning routine, and changed into my uniform as quick as I could. ''"Ahh Shadow Cloud we're going to fail!" ''I said as I was still putting my shoes on. After putting my shoes on, Shadow Cloud and I rushed outside, until we finally got to the spot. ''"This is the spot, right?" ''I asked Shadow Cloud as we were hovering. I looked around and remembered that it is. "Oh thank Thor!" I said in relief. After 15 minutes of looking around to look out for any threats, I got bored. I layed my back on Shadow Cloud, with my head facing up to the sky. Shadow Cloud was still hovering in one spot, I'm surprised by how long she could hover for. ''"You know what Shadow Cloud, maybe being a Guardian isn't too bad." ''I said as I was thinking about what happened yesterday. ''"I mean, everybody is super chill and..." ''I said before hearing a scream. It was a girl's scream. ''"Shadow Cloud, take me down." ''I said to Shadow Cloud, and she did just that. ''"Stay here and guard this spot, while I go check out what is happening." ''I told her. She looked at me as if she didn't want to leave me, but I ignored it and ran off. The scream was getting louder and louder, until I saw where it was coming from. There was a Dragon which had a girl, which looked my age, under its control. I thought about the situation and how I could save her from this wild Dragon. Then I had an idea. ''"Hey big guy, want some of this?" ''I shouted out, before pointing at myself. The Dragon, which was a Crimson Goregutter, looked back at me and looked mad. The Crimson Goregutter was slowly coming towards me and when it sprinted at me full speed, I jumped out of its way. The Goregutter jumped right into a trap, which trapped it under a net. I don't know why there was a net trap there, but it saved me.

After making sure the Goregutter wasn't going to break out any time soon, I focused my attention on the girl. I walked up to her and she was still panicking. ''"Relax, I'm here to save you." ''I told her. She was getting more calmer, and looking at her face properly, she looked very familiar. I've seen her before, I'm pretty sure. ''"Do I... do I know you?" ''I asked her. ''"I can ask the same about you." ''she replied with. ''"I'm Canela, Canela Forsberg." ''she then said, before putting her hand out for a handshake. But just then, at that moment, I was in utter shock. This got me into a flashback.

(Flashback 6 years ago, in Viking training academy, when Barny was still Aidan's friend) ''"Dude, you've got to ask her out. You know you want to!" ''Barny was saying as he was trying to catch up to me, as I was walking away. ''"You like her! I know you do!" ''Barny, again, said while trying to catch up to me. I was being unresponsive. Barny then ran in front of me, making me stop. ''"Aidan, you know you can't live the rest of your life with a crush you are too scared to ask out." ''Barny said. ''"Barny... I can't. What if I embarrass myself? What if everybody laughs? After all, I am bald right now!" ''I responded with. ''"Dude, would you rather live in embarrassment or live knowing you were too scared to ask out your crush?" ''Barny then asked. ''"Embarrassment..." ''I replied with. ''"Exactly! Dude, she's just like you, I've been speaking to her friends about her. What they tell me is the same as what I could say about you." ''Barny responded with. ''"I know that, why do you think I like her so much. That and because she's pretty." ''I said to Barny. Barny looked at me, and by the face he was making, I could tell he wanted to ask her out so badly. ''"Fine! I'll do it!" ''I, rather reluctantly, said. ''"YESS!!!" ''Barny shouted out loud. Barny was going crazy, like jumping around everywhere and shouting in joy. ''"Barny Stugard, detention after academy." ''the head master, who was walking by, said to him. Barny grieved, as I was chuckling.

When it was lunch time, Barny was telling me I have to do it now, I have to do it now! ''"Alright alright, I'll ask her out now." ''I said to him. I looked around to see if I could spot her out, and I finally did. She was with two of her friends, just talking and laughing. I was very nervous as I walked up to her. Everybody suddenly went quiet, as if they knew what was going to happen. All the attention was set on me. Canela looked back at me, and so did her friends. ''"Ai... Aidan? What is it?" ''she asked me. ''"Canela, I need to let out my feelings. Ever since I met you, my life changed. It's like we have a connection... a connection which finally gave me the guts to say this. Canela, I like you." ''I slowly revealed to her. The silence got even more awkward, as everybody was waiting for Canela to respond. ''"Aidan, you're a good guy and all... but I'm going to have to say no. I'm sorry..." ''she answered back. Everybody started laughing, even the teachers! Except from my master. As I was left there, in the middle, depressed, I heard what some people were saying. Some people were laughing and saying things like "He's bald and expects someone like Canela to like him? What a joke!" or "Everybody knows he has no parents! Why would Canela like such a misery?", all which hurt me. Barny took me away from the scene, and dragged me into an empty corridor. ''"Aidan Aidan Aidan, I'm sorry about all this. Just ignore all the hate and remember I'm here for you." ''Barny said, as he saw me in tears. Everything changed after that day. From that day onwards, I was seen as a clown in front of everyone.

(Back to the present) ''"Ummm... okay then, clearly you don't want a handshake." ''Canela said as I was staring at her plainly. ''"It's just that... it's just that I remembered who you are." ''I replied with. ''"Great, so who are you?" ''she then asked me. I took in a deep breath before telling her. ''"I am.... I am Aidan Larson, the one you embarrassed in front of the whole academy 6 years ago..." ''I told her. She gasped, because the realization hit her. ''"Oh my Thor... it can't be!" ''she responded. ''"It's me alright. It's just... it's just shocking to meet you again." ''I said to her. She still looked shocked. ''"Oh my... you've changed, you've changed a lot! For starters, you're not bald anymore! Now you somehow have long hair!" ''she exlaimed. ''"Yeah... I was only bald for two weeks. And I just had to ask you out within them two weeks..." ''I replied with. ''"Aidan, I know what happened 6 years ago, and I'm sorry. My intention was to never hurt your feelings. I was growing feelings towards you too, but it was too early to start a relationship, I wasn't ready. When people were saying the things they were saying, including the ones about your parents, I was going to help you up, but your friend, Barny, took you away instead." ''she replied with. ''"Really? You were?" ''I asked her. ''"Yeah, of course. Aidan you're a smart boy and I had been speaking to your friend, Barny, about you. What he said about you is things people could say about me. We are alike." ''she said. Wow, this was pretty much the same thing Barny said about her to me, 6 years ago. ''"About Barny... he's not my friend anymore..." ''I told her. ''"Sad, really. Look, now that we're older and wiser, maybe we could start over?" ''Canela asked me, while looking nervous. If I still have feelings for her is still undecided. ''"I think it's too early to start over, I'll see." ''I replied with, then I winked at her because what I said was similar to what she said to me about being in a relationship 6 years ago. Canela started laughing. ''"I see what you did there." ''she then said. ''"Hey, I've got to go. We'll talk later, somehow. I can TM you, if I know your location." ''she said to me. I wasn't sure whether I was allowed to tell people about the location of the where, us, Guardians live. So I just told her the location of where aunt and Alice are living right now, which is Kate's house. I told her to tell whoever recieves the letter to TM it back to the where we live, because only aunt and Alice, from my friends and family, know where that is. ''"Yikes, I got so distracted that I forget about patrol." ''I said out loud. ''"Patrol?" ''Canela questioned. She then looked at my uniform, which had the Guardian symbol on it. ''"YOU'RE A GUARDIAN? AIDAN THAT'S AMAZING!!" ''she shouted out. I calmed her down and explained to her I am. As she was turning back, too excitedly, her long, chocolate brown, hair got into my face.

When she walked away, and was out of the picture, I went back towards the trapped Goregutter. Just as I was going to free it, I heard someone clapping behind me. I looked back to see a man, who looked old, clapping. The man was freakishly tall, and had grey hair. ''"Bravo Aidan, bravo. Using my trap against my Dragon and then starting some romance. I do have to say, I didn't know you had the romantic side in you." ''the man said in a chilling voice. I got Inferno out and lit it up. ''"Who? Me and Canela? We're just two old friends catching up to each other. Who are you and how do you know my name?" ''I asked the man. ''"Ahh, Aidan. Love. It's a crazy thing. It can hit you without you knowing. Didn't I see you blushing when Canela asked if you wanted to start over? If you haven't caught on already, I'm Roel. Kate's grandfather. I've been observing you and your family for a while now. And I have to say, I'm not impressed by you and your family." ''the man replied with. ''"I... maybe I was, but what's that to you? So you've been 'observing' my family? Don't you think that's a little pathetic? State why you are here, or else..." ''I said to the man. ''"Or else what, Aidan? What will you do, walk away?" ''the man questioned. ''"Ok, maybe I was going to walk away... but now you've changed my response." ''I said to the man, before getting closer to him with Inferno. Just then, I heard something charge at me from behind. Before I could turn around, I was charged to the ground by the Goregutter. ''"You really think the net could hold my Dragon? Pathetic thinking." ''the man said, while I was still on the ground. Just when he said that, something fired at the Goregutter. I looked up and saw it was Shadow Cloud! Her senses must have gone off! Shadow Cloud rushed to me, and was protecting me. ''"Until we meet next time!" ''Roel said before flying off. ''"Oh Shadow Cloud, thank you for saving me!" ''I praised her. I got up and flew back to the spot I had to protect. After another half an hour, my shift was over.

I flew back into the clubhouse and walked into the kitchen, because I was hungry. As I walked in, I heard Kate and Rita laughing. I asked them what's funny, and they explained they were playing follow the leader.'' “Ooookay then! Well, I’m gonna go change out of the uniform, someone else needs to do a patrol shift. Breakfast almost ready?" I asked them. “Oh! I’ll take patrol! Rita, can you please finish breakfast, I’ve got some stuff I’ve got to do out on patrol. Yea. Stuff.” Kate replied with. This was fine by me, at least I could change back into my normal clothes now and take a break. I walked back into my room and changed into my normal clothes. I then headed to go eat breakfast, it was oatmeal. I was peacefully eating the oatmeal, untill Kate asked if I could watch over Devil... that made me swallow hard. I asked her whether or not it would've been a better idea for her to look after him, but before I could add to that, she gave me Devil and ran off... great! I didn't even get to finish breakfast, I took Devil to my room as quick as I could. When I did, I sat Devil down on my bed, while I was standing up. I looked at him closely to see how cute he really was! "See, you're not too bad, are you little guy?" ''I said as I was putting my hand closer to him, to pet him. And just when I was going to pet him, Devil bit me! I screamed out in pain and was waving my hand around, as Devil was still biting it. I finally flung it fast enough, and Devil was off my hand. My hand was proper red, but I knew I still had to bond with Devil. So this time, I tried a different approach. I got fish from the kitchen and returned to the room. ''"Look Devil, fish. Everybody likes food, right? Come on, you know you want it!" ''I said, as I was moving the fish closer to Devil. Devil opened his mouth wide, and instead of biting the fish, he bit me! ''"OOOUUUCHH! DEVIL, MY HAND IS NOT THE FOOD, THE FISH IS THE FOOD!" ''I shouted as I, once again, flung my hand around. Luckily, this was my left hand, not the right hand which I used the first time he bit me. As I was screaming in pain, I saw Devil happily eating the fish, so evil! For the time being, I just stayed away from Devil. Everytime I got too close to him, he would scratch me. Finally, I heard a knock on my door. I answered it and saw Kate. Kate pretty much knew what had happened, and offered she'd help Devil and I bond in the training area. Soon enough, we were there. Kate told me to put my hand out and pet Devil. I must have tried this 50 times already, but I might as well have another go. So I did as she asked, while closing my eyes. I heard Kate shout at Devil, and then I felt my hand touching Devil. This was unbelievable! Kate moved my arm a bit, to help me. She then told me to open my eyes, so I did. Devil got closer and closer, until eventually he didn't seem like a threat. Devil jumped on to me and let me play with him. I couldn't believe it! Kate suggested I keep Devil for the night, so we could bond further. I scooped up Devil and walked back into the clubhouse. Training Devil now is going to be better than I thought, all thanks to Kate.
