Chapter 1
Life is but a roller coaster we can never get off of till the end of our time.
Tiny shouts from panicked little wigglers echoed in the yellow house. “Grandma! Get up, Pleathe! Grandpa, Daddy help!” Hurried footsteps thud against the hard wood as a older man shouted; “Y/n!”
The ups, the downs, the twists, and the turns. For all life hardships we are given a chance to grow, to love, and to learn.
The Doctor stood in front of the three trolls in his office. One Psionic user who was the humans husband, a Mutant troll who was her adoptive brother, and her Oliveblood morial. “I’m sorry but there’s nothing we can do. She has maybe a couple of months left at most but all we can make it as comfortable as we can for her. We could try radiation treatment but it’s to far gone so to put her through that is... Just cruel.” The Oliveblood started to cry weeping as the Mutant pulled her in close to him as he rubbed her back with one hand and worked the Psionic users neck with the other. The Doctor was gentle as he finished. “But what course is taken well be up to you and your wife.” The Psionic user just stared at the papers giving the tiniest of nods that he understood.
But when the ride finally comes to an end and were just inches from that final platform; are we truly happy that it’s over?
Your eyes fluttered eyes open a little before you closed them again due to the bright light shining in your eyes. You huffed suddenly and heavily as the mask over your mouth kept forcing high level of oxygen into your system.
You opened your tired e/c eyes as the light was clicked off. What you saw when you opened them was old and wrinkled red and blue eyes staring at you. You felt your face muscles pull back into a smile. You trembled as you lifted your withered and aged hand at the person.
The person caught your hand before pulling it close to him. He held onto it as he sat down on the chair that he pulled over. The man who was sitting with you was out of this world quite literally. He what half the population of earth was which was the trollian race.
He was what they called a yellow blooded troll but he was more important to you then that. This man was your husband and had been for nearly forty years. Your husband spoke softly to you; “There’th thothe pretty e/c eyeth I know. You jutht miththed Thheepdog and family with all your thleeping. Thol thaid he wanted your pancaketh and Tz needth you to sow on an eye to her thcalemate yet again.”
You smiled a little shaking in laughter before you looked down a little before looking back up at him that was most likely what the sound of children's laughter was from in your dream. You snapped your attention back to him as he spoke.“Don’t worry about it Latula thaid they’d come back later.” You looked at him as he spoke about his day and how Signless and Disciple were doing and so on. You loved the sounds of his voice; lisp and all as it made it him.
You moved your other hand up which caused him to pause as you pulled at the mask on your face. His ear’s flickered down as you did so but he made no movement to stop you. You lacked the strength know to pull it down but he helped a little.
He smiled at you as he moved the mask down to your chin. You smiled at him before you grab his hand and tug on the fingers weakly as you opened your mouth. “I l-love-” you gasped heavily before you continued. “you so much Psiioniic. G-good run...?” You gasp again before you pulled your hand away from him to cough into it.
Psiioniic frowned before giving a nervous smile as he put the mask back on you. “Good run? We’re thtill running you thtupid fluthh of mine. We’ve thtill got thhit to do theeing how that Kurloz and Meulin are going to be taking up the thhop.” Psiioniic got up from the chair as your eyes followed him as he went to grab you some water from the jug in your room.
Your eyes started to droop lightly as you heard him talk about something. Your brain wasn’t catching what he was saying. He was denying what was happening which was normal as he hated to lose things. As you closed your eyes you were taking away by the dreams of your past...
You were born in one of the main metropolis in C/n but you would never know your parents or family as they had put you up for adoption as they didn’t have the means to look after you but neither did the agency they gave you too. At less then a month old you were ship from your birth place to America where you were placed into foster care till you suppose to be adopt out.
Unfortunately you were never adopted out of the system not that it was a bad thing. You were the lucky few who found friendship and family in there but not with your own species. You lived in a world were trolls and humans had lived and become somewhat livable with each other it didn’t mean there wasn’t with racism, hatred, and prejudice between the two races.
You remember when it all began all those years ago in the small foster home in the country. You had just turned four and were what most people called independent and headstrong or a brat. Which depended on who was talking but whatever you were called what you were was someone who got picked on a lot by the other kids mostly the older boys and sometimes the foster parents themselves.
You remember the one day that changed your life forever even after all these years you remember it as clear as day. That day was when you first met Signless; it was the day that shaped you into the person you were. You remembered that you had just got transferred into the new foster home where there was a mix of humans and trolls. You didn’t really care for either because neither would play with you.
So you entertained yourself by sitting and playing on the driveway with some chalk. You were for a little while before the other girls took over the chalk leaving you with nothing to do. You pouted as you stormed away but as you did a whimper caught your ears.
You turned you head to see one of the older boys running to the backyard. You followed as that was never a good sign. What you found was a small body was curled up in a ball as the others where kicking it. You didn’t know why but maybe because you were really angry from the other girls taking your chalk or maybe the other boys finally sent you over but whatever it was you found a thick stick on the ground by the gate.
You charged the boys from behind and you swung the stick at the older boys whacking them in the legs and backs. They shouted and yelped as you chased after them and ran them off. You stopped before snorting; “And don’t you come back!”
You turned back before going back to the small gray body that was on the ground sniffling. You dropped the stick before you walked over to it and knelt down on the back of your heels. The boy as you guess flinched away from you causing you to frown. “Hey, I just saved your butt mister why would you flinch me? Are you stupid or something.”
The boy sat up before shouting at you; “I’m not stupid or anything! I-I just wanted to play with them...”
You blinked as the boy started to cry red tears which you wrinkled your nose at him. He was trollian that much you knew but you didn’t care. You sat down on your butt in front of him before you patted his shoulders. “It’s okay don’t cry little guy.”
The troll sniffled as he rubbed his eyes. “But I have no one to play with... No one wants to play with me or be my friend cause I’m a mutant.”
You frowned before you smiled. “Well how about I play with you? I’m looking for a friend too! Do you want to be my friend?”
The troll child looked at you wide eyed before smiling flashing a missing fang from his age. “Really! You’ll be my friend!?”
You nodded with a hum; “I’m Y/n L/n by the way what’s your name new best friend?”
The troll answered; “Oh how rude of me, my mommy and daddy called me Kankri, Kankri Vantas.”
You smiled as you got up onto your feet before you held your hand out to him. He grabbed it as you held onto you tugged him up onto his feet. You spoke as you shook his hand. “You’re my friend now and friends look out for one another. Sound good?”
Kankri nodded before he question; “What if the others try to make us not friends anymore...”
You laughed at him a little before you spoke as you walked away pulling him along to find something you both could do. “We’ll stick together for now on and it wouldn’t matter what anyone says about us or do. I’ll protect you from them and anyone Kankri because that’s what friends do.” He nodded happily as you both started to talk some to get to know each other better which caused you to smile as well after all you weren’t alone anymore.
You and Kankri for the next two years went from foster home to foster home together. Your relationship changed with each other as you both shared something neither of your ever had which was family. Sure some of the foster homes were nice and loving but you and Kankri had a closeness that could be considered sibling love.
You took care of Kankri dressed him, bathed with him, fed him, protected him from the other kids and adults, and looked after him when he got sick. You were almost like a mother to him but Kankri did the same for you minus protecting you as he was such a little weakling and cry a lot.
But you guess you both had been lucky being able to transfer together as one night it seemed that the foster care workers had come. You kids called them Farmers because it felt like you all were cattle being moved around.
Kids who were being moved were taken and moved for the night to a building so that in the morning the workers could move them to the new home. The foster family’s were always sent a roaster of who’s moving so they can get the kids stuff together. You guess she had seen Kankri on the list the night befre and assumed you were also as she had seen you two were very literally inseparable.
She was a nice lady even after her husband and her tried to separate you both as trolls were to one side of the house and humans in the other. Her husband was a troll and believe it was better that way. But they quickly found out you both were dangerous without each other. So without a moment longer they placed you both back together on the human side of the house.
Where you guessed the foster people had a problem with because on that night you and Kankri were on the floor of the living room with the other three kids that were being moved. You had Kankri in between your legs so his back was against your front watching TV. Kankri was always scared when you both moved which was okay because you always were too and it was well founded fear.
You remember that night quite well because it was as if death walked through the door as no one knock just someone flung open the door startling everyone even the foster parents. You looked from the TV to the man and women at the door to your foster parents who both turned rather meek and almost fearful.
Without a even pause the women called out the names of the child who were leaving. As they shuffled out she called out Kankri’s name and not yours. Your foster mother and father looked bugged eye at best. Your foster mother smiled nervously as she spoke; “W-what about Y/n s-she is surely going with him?”
The foster women turned her nose up at your foster mother with a disgusted look as she looked at the husband. “Humans and trolls have no reason to be together. They have there culture and we have there’s besides they’re young enough that they wouldn’t remember each other.”
You wrapped your arms around Kankri who turned and cling to you like a snake. You shouted from your spot; “Well you’re not taking him! If I stay, Kankri stays!”
The other worker moved as he would have to force you both apart. As the man put his hand on your shoulder however you bite him hard. He hissed in pain as your troll foster father had to step in; to one get you to let the worker go and two to help get you both apart even though he didn’t want too.
Both women watched however as even as the males had you both separated you both were interlocked with each other. You had a death drip on Kankri who’s claws were ripping into your shirt and skin not wanting to let go of you. He was wailing as he held onto you. You shouted at the man as you refused to let him go. “You’re not taking away my brother! He’s my only family!”
The foster mother looked at the people as she spoke up. “Please I know it’s not normally in our place to tell you what to do, but it best for both of them to be together. Y/n is scared and dangerous without Kankri, and Kankri doesn’t eat or drink and cries till they’re back together.” She begged the worker with her hands interlocked together. “You couldn’t separate this two without one of them dying without the other. They really are... Family unit... Please you can’t do this to them. Have a heart...”
The women looked at you both before she pushed up her lips; “Fine the *troman can go too though I hope you’re aware this will not look good on your house.”
Your foster father seemed to bite his tongue as he nodded; “Y-yes we understand...”
As both the trolls sat you down you still refused to let Kankri go thinking it was a trick. You felt a little bad for your foster parents but you didn’t at the same time as you were mad at them for trying to take Kankri away from you. The female worker pointed outside of the house; “Get going we have other houses to go to before going back you little brats have caused enough paper work for one day.”
You glared at her with hatred as you moved Kankri with you as you walked outside not caring for the backpacks that the other worker grabbed them. Kankri on the other hand looked at the now old foster parents mouthing a thank you to them before the door was shut. Kankri looked up at you as you looked straight ahead at the bus.
You both piled into the bus with the other kids who looked at you both which you glared or snared at them causing them to look away. As you both settled into your seats Kankri looked at you again before he cuddled into you causing you to smile a little. He knocked the side of his head with yours causing it to get bigger. Even thought it was not in the worker’s master plan thankfully the family that Kankri was going to didn’t have a problem that you were going there too.
Which was a blessing as it meant you both were only at the holding for over night before you were ship to the new foster home. Unfortunately the process of going was not that simple and they were fools to think it was after what happened the day before.
The taxi man who was taking you both seemed to be heavyhearted as Kankri was screaming bloody murder not being allowed to go in the same side you were and you weren’t any better as they slam the door on you. Somehow by some miracle they got both of you into the taxi without someone being bitten.
The ride in the taxi started off horrible it turned okay after leaving the holding. The only thing was it was almost dead silent as the gentleman didn’t know what to say. You sighed as you rested your head against Kankri’s as he rested his against your arm.
You looked at the man who was driving through the rear-view mirror to catch him looking at you both as well. He smiled at you both as he spoke. “Are you both all excited to go on your new adventure together?” You looked at Kankri a little before nodding a little. The man’s smile weaken a little. “You never know kiddo’s this could be the move that changes your lives.”
At the time you didn’t know how right his words were going to be. Being as young as you were the fact of moving was hard on you as it was for Kankri. He was so used to your shared room and the creaks of the house that it was scary. He huff a little as he whispered at you. “Y/n I’m scared... W-what if this new family is as meaner older boys or they don’t like us.”
You frowned before you spoke softly. “Don’t be scared Kankri I’ll protect ya so don’t you worry. I’ll make sure you’re safe no matter what because your my baby brother.”
You moved a hands to wipe Kankri’s tears as he spoke. “But who’s going to protect you?”
You smiled before hitting your hand on your chest. “Nobody and I don’t need nobody to protect me either. Cause I’m strong so stop worrying you worry wort or you’ll turn into a toad.”
Kankri laughed as he rubbed his nose and eyes feeling a bit better. The rest of the ride was somewhat peaceful you and Kankri both looked out the window as the taxi driver pulled up to a triplex.
You felt Kankri grip your hand which you clenched back. As the Taxi driver pulled into the parking lot he turned off the car and looked at you. “Alright kiddo’s lets get you to your new home.”
He shooed you both out of the vehicle as he got out himself. You opened the door before getting out and helping Kankri out of the car which Kankri closed the door. You both looked up at the taxi man as he started to walk which you followed him. It was a rather quick walk to the apartment as it was just up the stairs of from the courtyard. The gentleman knocked on the door and waited.
To your more surprise the person who answered the door was a troll who looked at you and Kankri with a blink before a friendly smile. She knelt down a little; “You both must be Y/n and Kankri, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you both.” You looked at Kankri who gave a weak hello at her before he tucked himself behind you again. You did nothing up but scowl at her which only caused her chuckle a little. “Why don’t you both come on in...”
The troll opened the door wider to let you both into the apartment. The troll stood up as she thanked the taxi driver who nodded before giving her both your backpacks and some papers that were sent with you both. You walked into the apartment before spying the two other troll children about your ages.
The pair looked different from what you seen from the other trolls and Kankri. The one that wore yellow had red and blue eyes. He glared at you as you did the same back. The smaller troll you really didn’t get to look at as only it’s horns were present because it was hiding behind the yellow troll like Kankri was doing with you.
You looked away from the other kids to the Jade as she closed the door. As she moved around you both the two other trollian kids who moved around her. You glared at the Jade and stood in a protective stance as Kankri poked his head out a little from behind you. You felt his claws dig into your back a little which was fine but he wasn’t alone either.
There was an Oliveblood about your age who was behind the yellowblood moved to behind the Jade peaking around her skirts. The Yellowblood moved beside the Jade and giving you a protective look of the Jade. Dolorosa seemed to see the tension as it was so thick between you and Mituna. Dolorosa sighed lightly before she spoke; “Well I guess we should introduce everyone.”
Dolorosa knelt down on her heels to be around everyone’s height. “You both may call me Ms.Maryam, Dolorosa, or Rosa whichever you want or all three.” Dolorosa gripped Mituna’s shoulder lightly as a gesture to calm him down. “This is Mituna and this shy one...” Dolorosa pulled Meulin from behind her skirts to somewhat face you and Kankri. Meulin of course tried to hide her face into Dolorosa’s arm. “This is Meulin.”
You nodded slightly before you spoke. “I’m Y/n and this is my adopted baby brother Kankri so please him nicely Ms.Maryam.”
Dolorosa nodded before she moved up and grabbed the camera on the side table. “Do you think you both could give me a smile? I always take pictures of the children I get sent for an album of memories for them as adults.”
You gave a bit of a nod before you looked at the yellow troll which turned your face into a scowl as Kankri looked a bit scared as the flash went off. You blinked a little to dispel the blind spot before looking at Kankri who was now hiding behind you. You spoke gently over your shoulder; “Just blink it away Kanny the spots will go away.”
You turned your attention back at Dolorosa as she spoke; “Prefect, now let’s show you both around so you know where everything is.”
You nodded as you moved one of your hands behind you which Kankri grabbed. As you both moved so did Mituna and Meulin as they went to the rug to watch whatever was on TV. After a bit of showing around and telling where you both would sleep Dolorosa sat on the couch. “Alright you two that’s all there is to show so you can either play on the rug or watch TV till dinner time.”
Dolorosa pause for a moment as you and Kankri gave her blanks look before you looked to the rug to watch the TV she guessed. You both seemed to settle beside the other side of the couch. Dolorosa looked at the TV watching Buggies Bunny show as both Meulin and Mituna seemed to like it. As Dolorosa watched however she got absorbed in it till she blinked a little as she heard one of the glasses ting off one another.
Dolorosa looked at the rug to see Mituna and Meulin absorbed in the TV but you and Kankri were missing. Dolorosa looked around a little before she heard Kankri’s shushed voice; “But what about you?” You said something but it mumbled a little. Dolorosa moved as she peeked round the kitchen wall corner some to see what was happening.
You were standing in a bit in front of Kankri but she could tell you were scowling as you did so. You sounded almost scolding as you spoke; “No you keep eating you haven’t had anything since the holding.”
Kankri frowned; “B-but!”
You glare at him; “Don’t make me force feed you again!”
Kankri shook his head before shoving the grub loaf into his face and drinking the milk you had poured. Dolorosa watched as you watched Kankri eat the loaf with your hands on your hips. Dolorosa wrinkled her nose a little as she spoke; “And what are you two wiggler’s doing? It is not dinner time nor snack time.”
Dolorosa placed her hands on her hips as both you and Kankri looked at her with bewildered looks. Kankri swallowed what little he had in his mouth before looking nervous like he had done something wrong. You tilted your head a little; “What’s dinner and snacks? Don’t you do a free feed too?”
Dolorosa frowned as she moved her hands from her hips; “Free fed? Have you children never sat down at a table for dinner?”
You frowned your brows before snorting; “Yes we have but not if you want to eat that night. Anyways it doesn’t matter Kankri’s hungry and Kankri get’s to eat it’s that simple. He’s growing you know and growing troll he needs his food.”
You nodded to yourself before Dolorosa wagged her finger at you both. “That is no excuse Kankri can wait like the rest of us. Getting a drink is fine but you can’t just pick out whatever you both want to eat.”
You frowned before your wrinkled your nose at her. Dolorosa looked at you a bit surprised that you gave her that look. Kankri seeming tried to make peace as he spoke up. “’m sorry Ms.Maryam we haven’t had anything to eat since the holding. I got hungry and asked Y/n if we could get something to eat. We wouldn’t do it again honest...”
Dolorosa sighed as she let it go slightly. “Alright, but don’t do it again. You’ll always get something to eat here you just have to wait.”
You rolled your eyes little as you mocked; “I’ve heard that before.”
Dolorosa glared at you slightly which you looked away crossing your arms. She knew from that statement alone you were going to be quite the handful. Kankri question lightly; “How long do we have to wait?”
Dolorosa looked at the clock over the TV it only showed it was four pm dinner wasn’t till six. “Two hours than it will be dinner time. Do you think you can wait that long Kankri?”
Kankri nodded; “Yes Ms.Maryam...”
Dolorosa looked at you; “What about you Y/n?”
You looked at Kankri a little; “Of course I can Ms. Maryam.”
Dolorosa sighed a little as she watched you moved the empty glass to the counter and wipe Kankri’s face with your top after he finished his milk. “Alright back to the rug the both of you.”
You both nodded more you then Kankri who thought he was in trouble. Dolorosa sighed as she moved into the kitchen as she met as well get started on dinner. Dolorosa found almost solos well she cooked. She figured it’d be best to make something light and a bit fun for tonight’s dinner. She figured *Bilyer's was a good choice, it was holding food and it wouldn’t cause you or Kankri to be sick since you both haven’t eaten the whole day from what Kankri just told her.
Dolorosa hummed as she set the table for dinner. As she finished placing the glasses of milk at the table she called lightly; “Gurblings Dinner!” She wasn’t to surprised that you and Kankri ran into the kitchen however you stopped before going to the drawer as Kankri pulled out his own seat and climbed onto it. Dolorosa looked at you confused as she helped Meulin into her seat. “Y/n child what-”
You smiled at her as she watched you pull out the knives and forks; “You forgot the knives and forks.”
Dolorosa blinked as you moved placing them at her, Mituna, and Meulin’s plate before handing a knife and fork to Kankri who grab his and set them on either side of the plate. You placed yours down before climbing onto your own seat. You and Kankri wait just long enough to let her sit down before you both started to eat.
Dolorosa looked at you both in confusion as you both eat the vegetables and bread first before even touching your meat. But what made her paused was when Kankri slide you his food and you cut the middle of the meat before chewing it and slide it back over nodding.
Kankri smiled a little before he started to cut up his own dinner. You cut the middle of your own meat before doing the same to your own meal. Mituna and Meulin stared at you both just as confused as her. Meulin whispered at her seeming to be looking for some answer; “Rosa why are they eating it with forks and knives? Don’t they know mew eat it with mewr hands?”
Dolorosa shook her head lightly at the girl. Mituna looked at Dolorosa which a have arched eyebrow. “They’re weird.”
You hummed up as you looked at Mituna; “No we’re not slobs, only unintelligent feral beasts eat with there hands.”
Dolorosa looked wide eyed at you both as Kankri nodded; “Yup or we’ll have to eat out of the dog bowl other wise and dog food don’t taste to good right?”
You only hummed lightly; “Well we don’t live at that scary lady’s place anymore and I don’t see a dog bowl here so I don’t think so Kankri. But still you might as well eat off the floor like a pig.”
Kankri nodded as if agreeing to your statement before he placed his utensils down to grab his milk. Dolorosa just stared as Meulin looked at her fork as did Mituna before looking at her. Dolorosa pinched the bridge of her nose. “Mituna, Meulin eat however you like there is nothing wrong with eating Bilyer with your hands.”
Dolorosa watched as Meulin and Mituna started to eat with their hands as that’s how they were taught too. As Dolorosa looked at both you and Kankri however you stared almost mind-boggled about it but you started to snort your nose and make squealing sounds like a pig at them. This caused Kankri to looked down to hide his laugh as he ate. Dolorosa knew then she was going to have tons of things she’d have to fix.
Dinner went out with out any more problems not that you and Kankri were problems but the things these foster homes taught you both were just out there. She knew any new foster children always came with new problems as not every home was the same. But you both were just the worse she’d seen and she seen a lot of foster children.
Dolorosa sighed as she brushed her hair, she was trying to figure out a plan to help break some bad habits when she heard her door open. Dolorosa looked at her bedroom door as Mituna opened it. Dolorosa frowned a little; “What’s wrong Mituna?”
Mituna pointed outside the door; “Kankri and that ape are in the thame bed together. Mew wouldn’t thleep in her own bedroom...”
Dolorosa frowned; “Mituna, human’s are not apes and don’t be called them that either. Her name is Y/n so use it, I didn’t raise you to act like that. You will call her by her name do I make myself clear?”
Mituna nodded a little; “Thtill thhe and Kankri are thharing a bed...”
Dolorosa sighed softly as she placed her brush down. “I’ll have a bit of a look Mituna just put Meulin in that second bed you have in your room.”
Mituna frowned before nodding as he mumbled under his breath. Dolorosa couldn’t really blame him he was all excited for Kankri till they got word about you. He thought like many that humans were these evil creatures. She didn’t raise him like that but outside influence was horrible and it didn’t help many a human picked on Meulin.
She did try her best to explain to both Mituna and Meulin about why you and Kankri were coming together but it was hard as she didn’t fully understand it herself. You said you adopted Kankri but even real siblings didn’t always get to stay with each other in the same homes. Dolorosa sighed softly as she crept up to the door.
She could see you left it open a crack for maybe a hall light or something. As Dolorosa peaked a little through the open door to see you sitting up with Kankri in your lap. He whined at you in sub-vocals it was a fearful whine. You couldn’t hear it of course but as he huffed lightly it caught your attention. “It’s okay Kankri...It’s okay... Everything’s alright...”
You rubbed his back as he spoke. “I’m scared Y/n. I’m really scared...”
Dolorosa felt her heart break a little as she watched you both were only three sweeps old and caring for each other more then morials did that were three times your ages. She felt even worse as you spoke; “Do you want to know what I do when I’m scared Kankri?” Kankri nodded as you continued. “When I’m scared I close my eyes and count to ten then I’m not afraid anymore because the fear cant find me.”
You whispered something in his ear which had he gasped in surprise. You smiled before you question him. “Want to try it together?” Kankri nodded rapidly as he moved to get all ready. You gave a weak smile as you grasped his hands in your. You spoke again this time very child like. “Okay now closes your eyes.” Both you and Kankri did before you counted up together. “1, 2, 3, 4, 5-” You seemed to peak open a eye to look at Kankri who had his eyes clenched. You gripped his hands; “6, 7, 8, 9, 3, 5-”
Kankri laughed as he opened his eyes to look at you as he ‘corrected’ you. “ 9 then 10 Y/n; you’re just being silly goose again.”
You flashed a bright smile before you flopped down on your back and patted the spot beside you. “Come on lets go to sleep, tomorrow is going to be a big day. We have to make this foster troll mama like us and see if that yellow blood is a mean boy.”
Kankri nodded as he crawled and flopped down beside you. You pulled the blankets up for both of you before offering Kankri your hand. He grabbed it as he yawned going to sleep for the night and you quickly followed. Dolorosa moved away from the door closing it before she felt parental upset for the both of you. She would have to call the organization tomorrow to get your histories to see why you both acted the way you did. The only thing she knew as the sun itself was that you two were going to do just fine here.
After a couple of days Dolorosa noticed that Kankri couldn’t do a lot without you and you were the reason for it. She tried a time or two to encourage Kankri do something on his own only to have it end in tears. Which she was then lectured, yes lectured by you saying that she was pushing him to fast and that Kankri needed small steps at a time. What had her look at you surprised was that you said that you had everything covered.
Dolorosa only once or twice had to put her foot down with you and Kankri when it came to bathing as it was inappropriate for two six year old's to be bathing together and some little things. She did notice that you did not like Mituna not one bit but it seemed that Mituna didn’t like you either and she couldn’t understand why.
You both were a bit to young to start quadrants so it was odd behavior. The only time she got to relax about anything was Meulin was warming to Kankri quite a bit and you a little. As she would caught them playing once or twice under your watchful and almost protective eye of course.
Dolorosa thought the only real problem she had with you and Kankri was the separation anxiety you both would have. If you left Kankri on the rug to go to the bathroom or to get a drink and come back and he wasn’t there you lost it. She had never seen a human go through such a roller coaster of emotions like she did you. It was like you were afraid that he was taken away or had gone missing.
The paper work on the history she did get didn’t help any. You had a transfer sheet longer then any trolls she’d ever seen before and you were placed in the foster care as an infant. It seemed to her that you didn’t get along with the other kids from the comments and hospitalization records that were placed down for some of the transfers.
Kankri’s wasn’t any better as he was placed into foster care after his parents were sent to jail for five counts murder which was mind bending because he was descendant from two Limebloods’. Limeblood’s were usually very timid trolls but she guessed it had to do with Kankri being mutant.
Kankri’s transfer sheet was just about the same length as yours. More due to the fact that you both at one point where transfer together but his comments mirrored you actions. He was picked on by the other kids to points of near hospitalization.
Dolorosa didn’t know how to appropriately deal with you and Kankri as you both were very different from the years of wigglers she had raised. And it didn’t help that you both clashed in cultures; Kankri acted more human then troll and you acted more troll then human. All Dolorosa could do was tell the school that she enrolled your both in to not separate you both till she could deal with the problem.
Unfortunately Dolorosa didn’t know till it was to late how far you would go to protect Kankri and why you had the comments you did. It took little over a month before you and Kankri had settled a bit peacefully to your class with Meulin and Mituna. You sat beside Meulin as you both were by the windows and Kankri was beside Mituna who were both on the opposite end of the classroom.
You would look out the windows most days or help out Meulin with math as she had such a hard time with it. She was sheepish at best with you but she didn’t seem to mind it so much. But unlike Meulin, Kankri was having a hard time being beside Mituna as you did.
You didn’t like that fact that Kankri was beside Mituna. You kept a level head about it knowing what subjects Kankri struggled in. You and Mituna would kinda trade off the two trolls as Mituna just as protective with Meulin as you were with Kankri. You guessed maybe that was one of the reasons why you both headbutted a lot.
Which seemed to express itself mostly at recess as Meulin and Kankri would eight out of ten times watch was both you and Mituna would yelp at each other before getting into a fight verbally as neither wanted to be physically fighting at school. This day however instead of watching you and Mituna fighting Meulin grabbed Kankri’s hand. “Kankitty lets go play over there while Tunakitty and Y/kitty be loud with each other.”
Kankri looked at Meulin then to you. He got a bit nervous leaving your or Mituna’s side but he nodded a little. “O-okay Mew l-let’s go play a little. What do you want to play?”
Meulin smiled some as she took him away to the ball basket.
You and Mituna didn’t notice that Meulin and Kankri had left your sides as you both were going at it. You snapped at Mituna who listened; “Excuse me? I do a good job on keeping him safe! At least he isn’t afraid of every god damn thing like Meulin!”
Mituna growled as he jabbed your shoulder. “Keep her out of thith! Mew ith thmart enough to keep her own kind! You made Kankri into a thniveling human!”
You went to tell him off about it when you paused turning your head. Mituna looked at you before he turned his head to see why you stop fighting. Mituna heard Kankri cry out your name and his. Mituna eyes went wide as he seen Meulin was on the ground crying and Kankri was being held by the shirt by another kid.
Mituna didn’t quite know how you did it but one moment you were next to him the next you had tackled down the other kid and was just punching the other kid in the face. He took a couple steps forward to pull both Kankri and Meulin back as you were just wailing on the other kid. You were screaming at him for making Meulin cry and for going to hurt Kankri even as the other adults came to get you off him.
Mituna felt a shiver run up his back as there was a sicken crack of the kid’s nose being broken before one of their gym teachers hurled you off. You huffed not fighting the teachers as your fist was bloodied red from not just your blood but the other kids as well.
You flashed your teeth at the adults as one of the troll security guards grabbed you before you could go after the boy again. The troll looked at him, Meulin, and Kankri; “Come on you three to the main office as well.”
Mituna just looked down as he tightly held both Kankri’s and Meulin’s hands. Meulin was rubbing her eyes hiccuping as Kankri shook beside him. Mituna tugged at the hands as he followed the security troll to the office. You were slumped in the trolls hold as he had his arm curled around your waist under his arm. You looked at Meulin with a sad look then Kankri who was staring at Meulin.
The trip to the office was quick enough thankfully and as soon as you four were in there you were placed on the ground. You ignored the adults as you turned to them. Mituna tilts his nose up at you as he moved Meulin and Kankri to the only two seats in the small main office. However you had other plans it seemed as you grabbed Meulin.
Meulin started to cry a little more out of fear but she soon was in a sniffling mess as you were looking her over and brushing your finger tips against her bruise. You turned her around before checking the bump on the back of her head. Once seeming satisfied that she was going to be alright you moved wiping her face with your shirt and sat her on the chair before you started onto Kankri in checking him over as he stood there with his head in your shoulder.
Mituna shifted lightly on his spot as he looked at Meulin who calmed down and was nibbling on her talons scared and tearful. Mituna frowned as he grabbed her wrist to make her stop. “It’th going to be okay Mew, did thhe hurt you?”
Meulin shook her head as she buried her face into his arm. Mituna and Meulin’s ears flicked lightly as did the troll staffs as you whispered into Kankri’s ear as you stroked his back. “It’s okay Kanny you’re alright now. I made sure he’ll think twice before hurting you and Meulin again. And if he tries it ever again, I’ll make sure he can never use his hands ever again.”
Mituna made a bit of a face unsure of how to process what you said. As he tried to figure it out however the Principal came and snapped you up so she could have a pre-discussion with you. Since the staff had no doubt called Dolorosa. Mituna found himself with both his hands being held onto as Kankri clung to his free hand.
Mituna was getting worried as you still weren’t out of the office and Kankri looked just about ready to have mental breakdown. Mituna attention however was taken from you when he heard the doors rush open to see a panicked looking Dolorosa at them.
She seemed a bit relieved to see the three of them were uninjured for the most part. The three of them looked up at her before Mituna looked at the Principal’s door as she opened it. “Ms. Maryam excellent please come into my office.”
Dolorosa nodded as she moved to the office without a farther look at her other foster children. As Dolorosa slipped into the room you were in one of the seats and glaring at the wall. Dolorosa sighed again seeing you were mostly uninjured. “Please have a seat Ms.Maryam this wouldn’t take to long.”
Dolorosa nodded as she moved to the chair beside yours. You did turn your head up to look at her as she sat down. All Dolorosa did was look at you disapprovingly before looking at the Principal who sat down in her chair. You crossed your arms as your foot tapped the air as both women spoke to each other. You glared at the clock for something that was suppose to be quick it really wasn’t.
Forty minutes had past and they were still the fallout of what happened. It was never the cause and your side it was all about what the human boy, what his parents wanted, what the human rules say, and so on. You tempered peak as the Principal finished her sentence. “-I have have the mind to suspend all four of them Dolorosa. Meulin and Kankri should have-”
You were done, how dare she put the blame on Meulin or your Kankri. You startled both women as you flashed your teeth at the Principal before you gave a human growl; Dolorosa and the principal looked at you. Your Principal questioned you surprised; “Did you just growl at me human?!”
You growled again this time Dolorosa grabbed you by the arm. “Y/n that is enough! You are in enough severe trouble as it is!”
You looked at Dolorosa with a fury; “No! She doesn’t care why I did it! They’ve turned a blind eye and have done nothing but let Billy and the other boys be mean and hurt Kankri and Meulin! No one will ever hurt Kankri not well I’m alive! I don’t care for what the fucking laws because there stupid! They’re lucky I just broke his nose instead of his face!” You turned your rage onto the troll in front of you. “And if Billy or anyone human or trolls hurt Kankri or Meulin ever again you’ll have to deal with a lot more then a broken fucking nose!”
Dolorosa looked at you somewhat stuck between appalled, concerned, and fear. She didn’t need to know that you’d make good on that threat as did the Principal. “For that young lady you are suspended for an extra week. Dolorosa I have dealt with your foster children over the years so I will not report this to the police but I will say this with the most respect I have for you. You need to figure out how to handle her or I will not be able to keep her in this school. As well out of the safety for Mituna, Meulin, and young Kankri they will be send home or the rest of the day. I want to see them bright and earlier Monday morning.”
Dolorosa just sighed heavily as she nodded thanking the female troll. Dolorosa grabbed you by the arm before she dragged you out by the arm. You didn’t fight Dolorosa as she did since you knew you’d be more then enough trouble when you got home.
