Description
Chapter 1“The Beginning”
Finally. The Irken Academy. Tak had been waiting so long for this. She was still very young, but couldn't wait any longer. She'd finally be in training to become a soldier. And it was just a short step from there, to being an Invader.
As she stepped through the doors, she couldn't help but to gawk at how huge the Academy was! It was absolutely breathtaking! She just looked around, staring up at the different rooms, and the different pictures of soldiers on the walls. Apparently, She was not paying attention, because she smacked right into another trainee.
Tak flinched, staring at the female Irken that she knocked to the ground. She had ruby eyes, and was a bit thin, her eyes were narrowed, and she looked annoyed. Tak frowned, “I'm sorry, I didn't see you.” The female glared at her, “You idiot! You knocked all my stuff onto the floor! Do you realize how long it's gonna take me to clean all this up?!”
Tak just glared at her, “I'm sorry.... I can help you pick it up if you-” The female shook her head, still scowling, “Ew.. No... I don't want your help! Don't you know what that would do to my reputation?”
“Oh, shut up, El. I don't think you had much of a reputation to begin with!” Tak blinked, turning her head, and seeing another girl there. She was about average height, and had blue eyes. El, as this rude girl was called, glared in the other female's direction, “Oh please, Sam. This is coming from a loser defective with no friends! Stop trying to be such an amazing person, when you're just a loser.”
Sam shrugged, “Hey, being a.. as you call it, “Defective loser” is better than being whatever the hell you are.” El crossed her arms, “Well, don't be getting into my business.” She then turned back to Tak. “Now listen up, new girl. I am El. I am everything in this school. I'm not going to have any more incidents with a freak like you. Do you understand me? Learn your place, or I'll teach it to you.”
She then shoved Tak to the ground, then picked her stuff up, then left, not before turning to Tak, and saying in a mocking tone, “ I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!” She then laughed and walked away with a few other females.
Sam approached Tak with a smile, “I'm sorry about El. She's not the best person to go smacking into when you first come in here.” She held out her hand, “Need help?” Tak just sighed, “Thanks...A- are you really a defective?”
Sam blinked, “Hmm... A very odd way of greeting someone.... but no... El just calls me that. I'm Sam. You must be new to the Academy.” Tak awkwardly shrugged, “Is it that obvious?” Sam just laughed, “Yeah, a little bit... What's your name.” “Umm....Tak....” Tak just stared, the two were now in complete silence
Sam just shifted a bit, “Well.... Nice talking to you... I've got to get back to my dorm” She then walked away, leaving Tak standing there, she sighed. 'Great.... that's just great.. I have a chance to make a friend... and I get awkward and shy again....'
Tak just walked through the halls, feeling really tiny compared to all these extremely tall trainees, Irken Elites, and even a couple Invaders. She had to find the Dean, wherever she was. Tak suddenly felt like an idiot for not asking Sam where her office was.
'Okay... Maybe I can ask on of these guys.... I guess....” She looked over at a group of girls, “Um, excuse me, but-” She stopped, her heart sinking as she realized that El was among these girls. El smirked, “Well! Look! It's the girl who knocks into people! What's the matter, are you lost? Oh! What a surprise!”
Tak glared, “Look, I just need-” El laughed, “Look how she tries to stand up for herself! How cute! By the way, what is that thing on your head? Are you part robot or something?” Tak glared harder, “No it's a-” El smirked, “Oh god.... we have a cyborg girl! What's your name?”
Tak crossed her arms, shifting her hold on her things, “None of your business. Now, will you just-” One of the other girls snatched one of her notebooks, Tak glared, “Hey!” The girl flipped through the pages, “I think her name is Tak. Ew! Look at her drawings!” Tak reached over to snatch it from her, when the girl lifted it out of her reach.
El laughed even harder, “Ha! Look how short she is! Wait, Yuli, let me see her sketchbook!” Yuli was about to throw it to her, when someone grabbed her arm, and snatched the sketchbook out of it. After snatching the sketchbook, she did not release her arm, but instead bent it back. “El, I don't know what you're up to this time, but you are damn well not going to make this girl's life here a living hell. Or I'll make yours a living hell! Got it? Also, Yuli, if I catch you snatching her things again, this arm, will be broken, Got it?”
El's eyes widened in terror, “Oh god... It's Rai..... Lets get out of here, before she murders us....” With that, El and her group of friends charged down the hall in fear.
Rai scowled in their direction, before turning to Tak, “Don't pay any attention to her, or any of them for that matter... They're all bitches...”
Tak just stared at her for a moment. Rai was a tall Irken, with red eyes. Tak just nodded, “Thank you... Um... Do you happen to know where the Dean's office is?” Rai nodded, “Sure, you're gonna want to walk down this hallway, make a left, walk down to the middle of that hall, turn right, then go through the door on the left, then- Do you just want me to take you there?” She asked, slightly amused by Tak's confused look.
Tak just nodded, “Uh... Yeah, that would be nice.... Thanks.... I- I'm Tak by the way.” Rai nodded, “No problem. I'm Rai.... I've got the reputation of being a terrifying bitch, but that's only if you're like that to me first.” She said as she handed the sketchbook back to Tak.
A few minutes passed, and the two of them reached the Dean's office. Rai nodded to the door, “Just go through there, and she should tell you where your dorm is, and all the information on what we do here. Also, she can be a bit nasty, so be prepared. I'll see you around later.”
Tak nodded, “Okay...” She then entered the office, and the Dean was sitting at her desk, looking at Tak with sharp amber eyes. She just stared at her, “So you must be Tak. Took you a little while to get here, didn't it?” Tak frowned, “I'm sorry, Ma'am... I didn't really know where your office was, and these girls started-”
“SILENCE!!” The Dean snapped, “I don't want to hear your excuse, Tak, nor did I ask for it. Now, Your dorm will be room D443. That's where you'll be sleeping for the time that you are in this Academy. You will be expected to wake up at four AM sharp to eat breakfast. Then, you will go to military training. Military training will be from four thirty, to eight AM. Then you will report to your first two classes of the day. Then you will eat lunch, then, go to your last two classes, then have time to yourself. Today we will give you the opportunity to get yourself settled into your dorm, and get to know your roommate, do you understand?”
Tak nodded, “Y- yes Ma'am.” The Dean narrowed her eyes, “You are dismissed.” Tak just frowned, “Um... C- Could you tell me where room D443 is?” The Dean glared at her, “ This is a military Academy, Tak. No one here is going to baby you. Figure it out for yourself.”
Tak nodded, “Yes Ma'am.... Um.... H- Have a nice day....” The Dean just eyed her coldly, “Don't tell me what to do.” Tak just nodded, then left. 'Okay? That was.... weird...'
It took Tak about four hours to find her dorm. She unfortunately couldn't run into Rai again, and most of the other trainees would make fun of her for the metal wire on her head, or for being lost. She just knocked on the door, wanting nothing more than to flop down on her bed and take a long nap.
The door unlocked, then opened, To her surprise and admittedly, relief, Sam was on the other side of the door, her eyes lighting up when she saw her, “Tak! I didn't know you were going to be my new roommate! That's great! Here, I'll help you with your things!”
A few hours of unpacking had passed, and Tak was really tired. She rather liked Sam. Sure she was a bit strange, but she was kindhearted, and had quite a passion for wanting to be an Invader. The two also seemed to have quite a bit in common, both having a passion for drawing, as well as becoming Invaders.
Sam just smiled as Tak just laid on the bed, “Ugh... I'm so tired.... and hungry...” Sam just nervously laughed, “Yeah... you missed dinner looking for the dorm..... Sorry about that...” Tak just sighed, “It's fine, I'll just eat in the morning, I guess...” Sam nodded, “Alright, well, it's late, I'll talk to you in the morning.” Tak nodded, “Alright, Goodnight, Sam....” Tak expected to have a great sleep tonight.
One AM, Tak was still awake. She irritably sighed, and rolled over in her bed. She had been kept up by her empty stomach, as well as anxiety about what morning would bring. She had three hours until she had to wake up, and she did not get any sleep so far.
Growling irritably again, she rolled again, then curled up, feeling her stomach growl hungrily. She groaned, then rolled again. Then heard Sam's voice, “Are you alright Tak?” Tak sighed, “No... I can't sleep....” Sam rolled over to face her side of the room, “I have a tea that could help you sleep. If you don't get any sleep, training is going to be harsh.”
Tak sighed, then sat up, “I'll try anything.... Thank you, Sam...” Sam nodded, “Alright, I'll make some for you. I know we're not allowed to have food or drinks in the dorm, but I do it all the time.” Tak nodded, “Yeah...”
Sam had made the tea, and handed a cup to her, before taking a cup for herself. Tak drank a bit of it, feeling some of the anxiety subside from the warmth in her stomach. She just sighed, finishing the tea, then giving the cup back to Sam. “Thanks, Sam... I'll try to get some sleep now.” Sam nodded, “Yeah, me too. Goodnight.” Tak just nodded, turned the light off, then laid down.
She just sighed, curling up under the covers, enjoying the warm feeling inside her stomach. Then finally, she fell into a dreamless sleep.
