Today the pool was empty. There was nobody around, a dead silence. The only sign of life at this point at 8 o' clock in the morning was a 16 year old swimming laps. Back and forth he went, treading the water behind him. The 16 year old wore tight swim pants, no shirt and a swim cap, along with goggles. Yes, it was early in the morning doing this kind of work out but it brought breath to the 16 year old.
The boy's name was Jaguar 'Jag' Johnson and just several days ago, arrived in this small town from Greece. The only reason he came was to his his best friend, his sister. Jag begged his strict parents for two years to come over to his sister the left the pack. That's right, pack. Jag and his sister weren't normal humans, they were werewolves. And their father was the leader of the pack.
After several laps back and forth Jag left the pool to catch a breath and dry off. He headed for the ladder and then got out. He walked over to his seat and grabbed his towel. Jag then began to dry himself off and eventually put the towel around his neck. Then he grabbed his water bottle and began to drink it. At this point, Jag wasn't expecting anyone to be the pool this early in the morning.

The only reason that she out this early was because of her twin brother. Him and his stupid bad, along with her and her stupid mouth! She'd been the one to say, why sure i can get your stuff there before you have to be there! But she hadn't known he'd have to be there at nine, and she knew her twin really well. He'd be there at eight thirty, which gave her thirty minutes to get from point A, to point B.
There was know way she could do that, just know way at all. Though, she'd gotten up before that time, she had at least tried to, but it was already eight, and her skate board kept hitting the pavement, as she swerved. All she could really do was hope she got there before he did. A guitar case was under her arm, the strap on her shoulder, and a bag was on the other one. She had to get there, after all she'd made a promise, and she always kept with it. And it was her brother, Danny wouldn't let her live it down if she was late for this, anything else and she'd be fine, but she never made promises about being there on time or before, until now.
It was not easy to skate, hold a guitar, and a bag all at the same time. Which was why the skate board kept moving on it's own, plus the fact that the wheels where loose, she did need those fixed, and soon. But she hadn't had that much time to do that, after all she found out they where loose yesterday afternoon, after she told him she'd do it. Skylar's black hair moved along her shoulders, and her bright blue eyes stayed in front of her.
Until she heard a splash, she was passing by the pool. And even that one distraction took her off guard, with one waver of the skate board, she was on the ground, making sure she wasn't crushing the guitar, but instead the bag. And her skate board went rolling down the way she had been going. It's orange wheels nothing but a neon blur. And it took her a moment, before she was trying to stand, and move the guitar off of her self.

By the end of his water bottle, Jag saw something fly through his vision out the corner of his eye. He watched what happened to the girl and his mouth wide open. 'Ouch... that had to hurt.' Jag thought even before she started to move. Jag dropped his towel and water bottle and jumped over the metal fence.
With nothing but his tight swim pants and his head cap on, Jag went running after the skateboard. He made sure he slowed down a lot. Finally he got the skateboard and picked it up. Then he headed his way toward Skylar. When he was next to her, she began to stir.
Jaguar had a soft grin on his face and he put the skateboard on the ground by the girl. He put a hand in front of her and offered it. "Are you okay? You're not hurt anywhere are you?" Jag asked with his slightly tinted English-Greek accent. With his hand still offered he said once more, "Let me help you." His grin remained soft, a rare sight if you ever met the boy before.

She was not comfortable on the ground, being squished by a bass guitar and what ever may lay in it's case, and having things on her back, even if they where in the bag, shapes could be made in her mind, and she wondered what was in there. She'd only grabbed it and went, it wasn't like she'd go through his stuff. The two twins where nothing like that, if they wanted to know something, the would ask about it.
Though after blinking she tried to move, she had to be thin, had to be a small girl. And the guitar case, seemed bigger than her for a moment. Skylar realized that the opnly way for her to get up was for her to move the guitar, though if she got anything on the case at all, there would be hell to pay by her brother. He loved the bass, and the guitar way to much. And that was what she did, she moved it off of her, trying not to just throw it on the ground, and sitting it as softly as she could.
That was when her blue eyes caught site, along with the voice of the person who brought her skateboard back to her. She nodded her head, and even if her back was still being poked by what ever was in the bag, she didn't seem to notice it for a minute. But she was trying to figure out when he had gotten there. Details where taken in, and she guessed he was the one to have made the splash that had taken her concentration away from balancing.
"I'm fine. I've had worse crashes before." She gave a grin as she took his hand. Trying to get up before more objects poked into her back.

Though Jaguar was only sixteen he was pretty built. And if you asked some of the girls at his old school in Greece about him they would say things like, 'Jag?! Oh, the mysterious hottie...' 'He looks great with or without the shirt.' 'I like him without the shirts.' 'I love him...' Yadda yadda. But at this moment he didn't have a shirt on and he was showing his six pack without feeling the least bit embarrassed. With a several steps back, Jag was able to lift Skylar from the ground.
He gave her a soft smile and said, “Glad you're okay.” Jag bent down once more and picked up the skateboard and held it out of Skylar although at this point he realized that she had a full load. A bag and a case that looked like some kind of guitar or bass. Jag's eyebrow lifted up and asked, “You into music or something? Or do you carry that around for balance purposes?” He smiled once more and then said simply with his Greek accent, “The name's Jaguar Johnson. Excuse the accent.”

Her back was no longer begin poked as she came off the ground. Skylar was glad. Though the bag seemed to move back under her arm like it had been earlier. She wouldn't be surprised if it had equipment in it, sound equipment, and she wouldn't be shocked if something in it was broken, though she was really light, and barley weighed anything, so the chances weren't all that high. But there was still one, and she wouldn't be the one to find it out, Danny would.
As he went to get her skateboard, she went to get the guitar, and it didn't take to long before it was slung over her shoulder, the same way she'd done before she had left the house. She gave a nod and a thank you as he handed her the skate board, she would need to pay more attention to balancing now. "My brothers in a band, said i could get his stuff there before he got himself up. Now i don't think i can." She gave a laugh after she said that, she did like music, but her brother was the one that had talent in playing. She could sing, but she just never did.
"I fairly like the accent, Greek, correct? I'm Skylar, Skylar Collin." Her grin didn't come off, but it stayed.

Jag merely smiled as he listened to the girl. He helped her up in no time for she was light and very small. He smiled at that thought but soon pushed it out of his head. He nodded at the right times and said, “Oh, I see a band. Well I'm sorry that it seems you won't get there on time. I do hope that's none of my doing.” He grinned at her and you could tell in any way that Jaguar Johnson was a gentleman. That's how he was born and raised and you couldn't take that out of him.
JJ chuckled when Skylar laughed and blinked at her several times at her last sentence. But he pushed it aside with his grin. Still holding her hand, Jag began to shake it in a welcome, “You are correct. Greek it is, the beginning of most languages that was followed by Latin, then Roman and eventually through the long lines, English,” He grinned and said, “It's nice to meet Skylar Collins.” Jag let go of her hand and waited through the silence.

She didn't notice her hand was still in his, that was off her her mind as she looked at him. She wasn't from some where, and she hadn't heard many accents. After all, her and her brother had ran away from home, just traveling killed them to a point, they avoided as much people as they could. This town was the only place they where sure they where safe. Maybe an uncle wouldn't come looking for the twins, Skylar could only hope for that though.
"It just means i broke one promise." She would end up breaking this one, that was for sure. There wasn't a way she could get there in time, unless his alarm clock had went off late. Though Danny always checked it three or four times before he went to bed. Though that clock was old.. "I hope his alarm clock doesn't go off!" With Skylar, she often said what she was thinking, she'd forget not to say it, and that alone caused her trouble. "And know, it's not any of yours. Got a late start." She kept her grin, because it was true, she had got a late start.
He shook her hand, and she remember it was still in his. Which made her give a small laugh, she'd forgotten, it was something to laugh at. At least to her. The girl shook his back before her hand dropped to the side, making sure the bag staid there. "Nice to meet you as well, Jaguar." She seemed to hum that sentence, something she did often, the dark headed girl had way to many habits. Now the humming began, one of her brothers songs. It was funny, because she could sing this one, the band often let the two sing together, and this was the main one she new.
