Silver Lion

Trollhunters Fanfiction

Early morning in the culdesac neighborhood of Arcadia Oaks in the messy room with lots of paper scattered across the floor with colored pencils and books lies a young girl with silver hair swinging sleeping peacefully in her hammock. Ontop of her night stand, her phone was charging plugged into the wall, and when the clock reached six o'clock her alarm went off. She creeked opened her eyes, slowly sit herself up and reached for the phone. When she read the time on it she fell off the hammock and crashed on the floor giving her a bad wake up call.

She freshened herself up, got on her light grey one piece hoodie, olive green knee shorts, and black sneakers. Quickly cleaned her room, got her text books and backpack, and made it down to the kitchen. She got out some greens fridge, frozen fruit, and some pomegranate juice, took out her blender from one of the kitchen cabinets, and began mixing all of the ingredients together. "Stayed up late again, Tally?" A woman in her work out clothes sitting at the table reading the daily news on her tablet. "Oh, morning Aunt June." Tally said, finishing her smoothie. June put down her tablet to look at her only niece. "I know you dream of becoming an artist someday sweetie, but you need to take better care of yourself and focus on your homework if you ever want to graduate to get into a good college for that." The blender stopped running and the smoothie was completely finished. "I know Aunt June, but don't worry my grades are fine and I've been doing good on my studies." Talia assured her. "Even though my spanish teacher is a pain in the butt." "Tally, I'm pretty sure he's not as bad as he seems and is trying help you learn. Talia poured her smoothie into a thermas cup, sealed in tight with a lid, and put in her rubber straw in. "One of the girls in his class ended up getting a meltdown for having to fail one of his assignments. "The only reason we're not learning anything from his is because he's a big who likes to torture us!" June gets up from her seat, walks up to her and puts a hand on her shoulder. "Talia, I promise when parent teacher conference arrives. I'll have a little chat with Mr. Uhl" June said. "Now get a move on, or you'll be late for school."

After finishing getting ready, Talia made it to the front door outside to find her two best child hood friends waiting for her on their bikes. "Took you this long to get ready, Tally?" The short chunky boy, with copper brown hair, wearing a red sweater vest and cargo pants teased. "Still working on your diet, Tobes?" Talia teased, as she unchained her bike sitting beside her garage. "Tally" The thin boy with black hair, wearing a blue sweat shirt jacket and jean said. "Just kidding Jim." Tally said, as she got on her bike.

They pedaled through the neighborhood as fast as they could but time was slipping by. Jim and Tally were making speed, but Toby on the other hand was falling behind. "Ugh, it's eight o'clock!" Jime said. "We're gonna get suspended on a count of meat loaf!" Tobes complained. "Take the canal guys it'll save us five minutes!" Talia smiled knewing what Jim was thinking and liked the idea. "I'll race yah there, Jimbo!" Talia accelerated ahead, but Jim caught up to her neck to neck. "Guy's don't be crazy!" Tobes shouted, heavily breathing. "Ah, come on Tobes!" Talia shouted. "Yeah, live a little!" Jim said, as he and Talia jumped from the small hill into the air like jumping a ramp. "It's living I'm worried about!" "Come on Tobes, don't you ever want a little excitement?" Jim asked. Toby sarcastically chuckled 'No!'. Jim and Tally made eye contact with confident grins on their faces when they were closing in on the canal, then made a big leap in the air, and make remarkble landing. "I made it first!" Tally laughed. Jim smiled by Talia's competitive nature and not too bothered by making it to the canal what mattered to him was he enjoyed it, and making it to school on time. "Come on, Tobes!" he called. Then all of a sudden a powerful voice called him "JAMES . . . LAKE". He turned his head to the source of where the voice was come from confused and yet kind of curious. Talia looked at him because she too have herd it and looked to find a pile of rubble rocks in front of them.

When Toby had finally reached the canal he cumsily fell right into the canal screamed in terror as he fell right onto his face making his friends look back to him in an awkward position. Jim turned back to the rock pile, removing his helmet making his way over to whatever this powerful force that's pulling him in. Talia helped Toby up and followed Jim all curious and confused. Jim dropped his helmet to the side as he made it to the rubble. "Did you guys hear that voice?" he asked, hoping he wasn't going crazy. "What voice?" Toby asked. "JAMES . . . LAKE!" the powerful voice called once again making them jump. "That . . .That pile of rocks knows my name!" Jim said, as he crawled over to the rubble. "It's a pile of case farm. Minerals don't talk there's got to be a walkie talkie in here or something." Toby said making an excuse, crawling over next to Jim. "I don't know Tobes, I get a weird feeling that this is not some kind of prank." Tally said. Then a blue faint glow caught Jim's eye as he removed the rock it was under revealing a small round silver glowing device. Jim picked it up to take closer look at the ancient artifact, there was a small face, big and small arrows, and some little gears inside. "Huh, looks like an amulet." he believed. "You sure . . . 'cause it looks kind of bit like some sort of old pocket watch to me." Talia said, as leaned in on Jim looking at the device. Toby stood up and looked around to be sure is someone is around. "Who's doing this?!" he called. "Come out now!" Jim spoke to the amulet. "Hellooo, I'm listening." He put it up close to his left ear, as Toby and Talia closed in waiting for it to responds. But instead were alarmed by their high school bell making them scream and jump. "Aahh, the final bell!" Jim quickly picked up his helmet and ran for his bike. " We're so late our kids are gonna have detention." Toby complained. "Come on, come on guys!" Jim said, as they got on their bikes. "We can still make it!" "I'm right behind!" Toby said, as they pedaled away. But unkowning to them something or someone was lurking in the shadows in the sewer tunnels of the canal. Six pair of yellow eyes blinked in surprised of what he had just witnessed. "It chosed . . . a human!"

The kids made it right on time to their school and made to their first class in world history. Waltomier Strickler, he's really good on giving his students learning education than most teachers do in their school, infact he's kind of quite handsome with his english accent, was giving them a lesson in greece's history of the Peloponnesian war. Everyone was on their laptops typing down their notes about it as they listened. Toby was sitting right next to Jim as Talia was right behind. After this mornings strange encounter with this pacilur artifact got them distracted, but Jim on the other hand has his eyes on something else. Or rather a infact someone else. Talia searched on the internet hoping to find any resources through any history or myth perhaps to any clue, but none so far. She poked Jim and whispered "Okay, I've done some quick research on our new little friend here, and I have found nothing." Jim didn't listen, he remained leaning in his hand dreamily stareing at the girl in purple he's been crushing on. "Jim?" Talia whispered. She turned and looked to Toby with a cocked eyebrow wondering what was wrong with him. Tobes looked at her, then waved his hand infront of Jim's face without any response, and turned to who he was staring. "Really?" he sighed. "Jim, aren't you a bit concerned on about what just happened this morning?" Talia whispered. " I am." Jim said , then didn't you hear about what I just said?" "Well?" he asked. "Nothing, just a bunch of plushie toys." Talia finished. "Jim, would you agree?" Strickler showed up out of nowhere asking Jim. "With Herodotus' opinion on his tactics of war, as I've described?" "Oh, u . . ." he turned to Toby, but instead he looked away and awkwardly whistled. "Absolutely" Jim answered. "Excellent. Which tactics, specifically?" Strickler asked. Jim tried to think something quick "The, uh . . . winning ones?". Talia gently slammed her head on her desk by his humility as everyone laughed. The bell ring for the next class period. Talia and Tobes left the class room with everyone else except Jim.

Talia waited outside of the classroom door form as she listened to Jim having a conversation with Strickler. About him sleeping in on one of his lessons, and about him taking care of his mother working alot at the hospital. And giving him some girl advice. Jim walked out of the classroom with his friend waiting for him, and walked together for gym class.

Jim was rooting for Toby trying to climb up the room, Talia kept her distance from the crowd so she could work on her martial arts. While Toby was having a difficult time, Talia was making heat her body was soaking with sweat. She was so calm and focused on her form until their coach yelled. "WHAT IS THAT ON MY ROPE?" Talia lost her balanced and tripped. She sit up and turned to find Toby tangled on the rope, with Coach Laurence lecturing him. Talia got up and rolled her eyes in annoyance, and went to grab her sweat rag. Then she saw Jim walked over to Claire sitting with her friends on the bench chatting. "Come on, Jim, you can do it." she whispered.

"Beunas noches." Jim greeted, getting Claire's attention. She and the other girls noticed right away. "You speak Spanish?" she asked. He stammered having a hard time to answer, but then one of her friends told her to bail, leaving him standing. Claire then asked, "Do you like Shakespear?". "What?" he asked. "Do you like Shakespear?" she asked again. "Shakespear?" Jim asked. "The school play. We're having trouble getting boys to audition." she said, handing him the flier. " Uh . . . oh!" She walked away pulling her hair behind her ear. "Hasta huevo" he said. Talia walked up to him, put his hands on the back of his shoulders "So, how did it go?" she whispered. "It's like a flabby pinata!" They all turned to find poor Toby still dangling from the rope with Laurence yelling at him.

While the boys went to locker room, Talia hit the showers in the girls to cleanse herself; singing the melody of her favourite song. She rinsed her shampooed hair under the shower head, dried off with a towel and got dressed. As she got out of the locker room and went to get her bike to meet up with her friends, but instead she herd a loud chant coming from a crowd and Jim with the school bully; Steve, about to punch him. She quickly ran over, separated Jim from him, slammed Steve right against the lockers and locked him in a choke hold. "What do think you're doing, Palachump?!" She growled aggressively. Everyone gasped and whispered, and his friends who were with him backed up in fear recognizing who she was. "Oh no, it's the Amazon." Steve opened his eyes and met hers. "Tally?!" he squeeled. She pressed her forearm hard strangling him. "Still trying to be king of the hill again?" she threatened, as she pressed harder. "Remember the last time you when you and your stooges messed with my friends in elementry school? I beat you guys so hard you all ended up in the nurses office and stayed home for a week." Steve choked from the suffocation of being strangled by Talia's brute strength. "Well I'm warning you doofus!" She pressed her other hand against her face. "Don't make me do that to you again!" She growled, as she released him from her hold. He slid down against the lockers and looked up the fierce angry girl with fear he and looked like he was about to cry, and ran like a coward. She turned and glared at his friends making them retreat. "You ok?" she asked, lending her hand to her friend. "Yeah, thanks to you." Jim answered. "But let's get Eli out." He went to open one of the locker doors helping the bullied kid out. The crow who had witnessed the whole scene one of them said "My hero!" They all cheered and praised Talia's heroic action.

After school end, the children got on their bikes and pedaled all the way home. " Ha, how awesome are we? Did you see how I did that chant?" Toby laughed. "Let him out, Let him out." "You know you could end up getting detention, Tally, but the way you scared Steve that was epic!" he said. "But you might want to watch your back ,Jim, 'cause who knows when Steve will strike again." "Yeah,but I'll be there be there pound before he ever gets the chance." Tally said. As they pedaled down the road, they spotted a familiar vehicle coming their way pulling over. Jim's mother, greeted them "Hey kids." "Hey, mom." Jim said. "Hi Barbara." Tally waved. "Looking sharp, Dr. Lake." Toby complimented, as he forgot to hit the brakes on his bike and backed up to see her. "Thank you,Toby. So are you." She said. "Oh, does it show?" Toby said, looking at himself. Tally grinned shaking her head amused by Toby's optimism. "You're going to be out all night?" Jim asked. "Dr. Gilberg is out with bursitis, and Dr. Lenz has a wedding out of town this weekened." Barbara sighed. "Okay, well don't forget to bring your . . ." Before Jim could finish, she held up her 'Dinner' and thanked him. "Right. And try to find an oven to reheat it in instead of nuking." Jim said. "Takes all the nutrients and flavors away." He picked out Strickler's phone number wonder if he should really give it to her. "Jim, there must be a million things you'd reather be doing than looking after me." Barbara said. "Can't think of one." he said. "Love you, honey." she said, as she drove off. "You mother, your mother alot." Toby said. "Ha, see you tommorrow guys." Jim said, pedaling back home. "Hey, and by the way, don't use mayo on the sandwich. It's the wrong note." Tobes said. "Seriously Tobes, would it really hurt if you tried to make your own meals?" Talia asked, leaning on her bike. "There's no chef better than Jim." Toby said. "Well I can't argue with that." Tally agrees.

Tally parked and locked her bike outside of her house and walks up to the front door, and finds her aunt in a very serious position with her arms crossed. "How was your day, Talia?" she asked, but not in a good kind of way. "What's wrong Aunt June?" she asked nervously. "I just got a call from Palachuk's mother saying that you attacked at school." June said. Talia rolled her eye's and piffted by Steve's lie. "I didn't start any fight, he shoved Eli in the locker and Jim tried to resort in a peaceful way convincing him to let him out, but instead he tried to wail on him." Talia explained. "So I acted fast, and threatened him to back off. It was self defense!" "Tally, I know that Steve is a juvenile delinquent, but you can't just go off and do something like that!" Juned pointed out. "There are other ways things to do than resulting to violence, if you see a bully? You tell a teacher." "Yeah, well telling a teacher doesn't stop a thick headed jerk like him." Tally said. "When there are people who push you, you get get back up and push them right back! It's what I've learned back then and it's what helped me get through!" "Tally, you're acting like a child! You're father thought the same way he did when he was young, but in the end he learned to regret it. And if he were here right now, he probably would want you to not make the same mistake he did." June cleared. "Well dad's not here, and neither is mom! And when are you going to tell me their life story or anything, because you said you promise you'll tell me when I'm ready! So when will that time come?" Talia frustratingly asked. "Tally there are some things that are far too complicated and are better not knowing." June said. "But" Before Tally could say anything else, her aunt snaps "End of argument! Now go to your room!" Tally ran upstairs and slammed her door.

She drops her bag, jumps onto her hammock, and picked up one of her picture framed photo of her parents holding her when she was a baby. Her father was a strong tone handsome looking man, he had the same silver hair like her, and blue eyes, and her mother was thin with long copper brown hair, golden brown eyes, a cute looking face like her and the sweetest smile. When she put her frame away and took out a silver chained necklace with an oval shaped medal with carvings of a lions face. She gently rubbed her thumb on the texture of the medal, remembering when her father passed this onto to her when she turned five. Then she turned to her night stand and reached for her music box. It was round, colored in saphire blue, diamonds attached, painted with a cresent moon on top and some stars to make it look like the night sky. She turned and wind the key back, to play a lovely melody. This treasure was once her late grandmother's she played for her mom before sending her off to bed when she was young. Then it became hers when she passed away. Talia remembered the time her mother doing the same thing she did, for her. She sighed sadly as she laid her head back on her pillow. For not only she'd remembered all of the good times she had, but that fateful night on her fifth birthday when they were driving home from their camping trip, she was sleeping peacefully in the back seat covered in a blanket, Her father was driving, and her mother was watching the sun go down over the horizon. Just when things were going so smoothly, something rammed them. Talia was lying on the concrete road hurt and bleeding, she woke up in a blurry vision but she was able to see parts of the car shattered, fire and smoke, and something else. Although she did not have a clearer vision at that time, but it was big and black, and had firey yellow eyes. And another big thing except this one was all bright and shiney. Then the next thing she knows she woke up in a hospital bed with her aunt sitting right next to her.
