Aqua and Firestar (rough version of The Water Warrior)(Book 1) (Completed)

Betrayed?

     BlackHawk's yelling could be heard throughout the entire Frazee house. Thank heavens Maudie hadn't returned yet otherwise Aqua would have to explain why she was applying rubbing alcohol to BlackHawk's ribcage. Starting at BlackHawk's chest was a wolf bite that ended right above his waist, this nasty bite had been given to him during a fight with Firestar.

     Firestar was sitting on Aqua's bed with bandaids covering most of the arrow wounds that BlackHawk had given him. "There," said Aqua as she put the last bandaid on BlackHawk's wolf bite. He winced in pain and stood up from the chair he was sitting in. "Thank you," said BlackHawk as he walked around.

     Aqua heard the growl of her stomach and looked at the clock to see what time it was. It read 6:30. No wonder she was hungry and she would be money BlackHawk and Firestar were too. "I'm going to go get some food from downstairs, do you guys want anything?" Aqua asked as she walked to her doorway. "Yes please," said Firestar. "I'd like something, it doesn't matter what," replied BlackHawk. "Ok, I'll be back soon." Said Aqua as she left the guys in here room.

     Aqua descended the stairs and entered the kitchen to prepare dinner for her guests. Not being a five star chef, Aqua could not make anything elaborate so she stuck with the basics and made pasta. She set pot of water on the stove and turned the heat to high, as she waited for the water to boil she made drinks and heated up some frozen steaks from her freezer. Aqua heard the water boiling and poured the pasta in as she stirred. After about 10 minutes Aqua had pulled the pasta off the stove and divided it up evenly between three plates. Then she grabbed  the butter, cheese and sauce out of the fridge since she didn't know what BlackHawk and Firestar wanted on their food.

     Aqua grabbed the three plates and drinks and balanced them carefully, which was not an easy task, as she headed for the stairs. Her foot had only touched the first step when the sound of someone unlocking the front door caught her attention.

     As the door opened the warm and cheery face of Maudie greeted her. How she had forgotten about her with all the chaos that went on previously that day was understandable. "Hungry are we?" Said Maudie pointing at the stack of plates and drinks Aqua was trying to balance. "Ya," said Aqua faking a smile and retreating to the stairs, hoping Maudie would not follow. "I'm just going to eat in my room and watch tv. If you need anything just call."

     As soon as Aqua had finished her sentence she dashed upstairs, leaving Maudie a little confused. She walked down the hallway then made a right into her room. No one was there. Good. Firestar and BlackHawk hid as soon as they had heard Maudie's voice. Aqua set the tower of plates down on her nightstand along with the drinks. Then the search began to find Firestar and BlackHawk before Maudie did.

     She checked her bathroom first, no luck. Next the spare room. No one. Maude's room. Nope. Stota's room. Nope. Aqua went back to her room defeated. As she sat on her bed there she heard someone say, "Ow. You're on my hand." Aqua followed the sound to her closet where Firestar and BlackHawk had squished into together and where sitting on the floor.

     "Maudie's downstairs for the moment, so eat quietly and quietly. Then we are going to see Darkmoon," said Aqua as BlackHawk began to eat the pasta. The Lamada food consisted of bread and some meat that they had managed to kill, which was getting less and less, so BlackHawk ate like he hadn't eaten in days which was almost true.

     Firestar' eyes shifted to BlackHawk and then back to Aqua. "Can we talk?"
"Sure," Aqua replied. Then they both headed into the nearby bathroom and closed the door. In a whisper, Firestar told Aqua what was bothering him. "We can't take him to see Darkmoon."

     "Why not?"

     "For starters we don't even know him and for another the Secret Guardian Camp is supposed to stay a secret. It's in the name," said Firestar with urgency in his tone. "Plus I don't trust him." "I don't either, but he might have the answers we need and who better to question him than Darkmoon. Or to see if he is lying," said Aqua with a gleam in her eyes. "Few," Firestar said letting out a breath he didn't realize he was holding. "I thought you had succumbed to his very odd charm." "No, I'm never letting my guard down again," said Aqua referring to her dad (sorry not dad anymore), Stota, who had brutally murdered her parents in cold blood and took their only child to another world and keep her prisoner there.
