| D3: The Begining There is a small swampy area and an old truck road between my house and grandperents. The day was clear, bright and warm. It has been a quiet few days, as usual, this summer, my parents have gone camping for the week as they do off and on, leaving me and my sis to take care of things about the house, today tho..my sis has gone to visit one of her friends down the road. As I walked I smiled to the suns warmth while heading to get the mail, glad for the quiet relaxed day at home alone. I was thinking, hoping that I had recived my regular monthly check. I wanted to get out, get some shopping in, just something to make the day better. I dident expect what happened next...let alone it changing my life. Oddly, nearby I herd echos coming from the truck road, sounds of metal and wood crashes together. "Shit...what the hell was that?! " Startled a moment then curiousity taking over, odd for me for i tend to keep to my self as best i can. I made a run down the road,"no one better be cutting the trees back there...its private property" Odd thought i know but it is and was me..this was my fathers land and I dident like having others cutting on the already depleating wood. After a few moments I can see craft not very large shrouded by bushes " What the?!" What is that..I ponder a moment before going up to it and reache, As I near, I find that I cant help but to reach out and graze my fingers over the metal surface, finding that it is warm, soft like leather but also very hard. It oddly tings like metal when when I tap it. I decided to look more around it, and become more and more curious of the thing...almost drawn to it. Suddenly a sharp pain hits my chest engulfs me, I look down towards the pain and with my breath cought in my throat. Gasping, I reach up to grab to a place just below the base of my throat, where most the pain resides. As I touch it, I find it is wet, warm, a small gash there. "Oh god.."Slowly raising my hand to glance to my fingers, afraid, I find it covered in blood, my blood. Seeing this and realizing the pain again, I scream out, falling to my knees then on the ground to my side, culring up and cluching to me neck. Just before I black out words echo throut my mind"Do not be afraid." Gasping and whimpering from the pain, all goes black. I move the blankets away from me as I awake, rubbing my eyes of sleep, before glancing around." Damn nightmears.."My eyes grow wide remembering the dream and suddenly grasp the spot on my throat. What I finds there now take me by surprise. A smooth round objet is embbded in the base of my throat. I look to my hands again scared to see again the blood that was on them, it's picture staining my mind."Oh gawd... my...my hands...but how..." Soon my eyes begin to take focus in the mourning light. I glance to the door as I can now hear some voices just beyond it, A womans voice at first "no wounds you say...but how is that possible to he...alright see you later." Suddenly I look around and realise just then, that I am not in my own room. It looks a little more like a hospital room but warmer...friendlier. My eyes enlarge as I grow more lost, and watches as a man walks into the room. He is tall and looks to be about 30-40 he has no hair on his shiny head and bright icy blue eyes that start to stare at me from a lightly tanned face. He, dressed in a doctor’s uniform but you can tell he is pretty musclar under them. "Ahh miss your finally awake...good good." And I just freak, turning weakly to try to get out of bed. He simply walks up to me and put a hand on my shoulder holding her there..what is he doing... "Miss please your still a little too weak yet...I'm here to help you so just relax." He tries to motion me to lie back down. Scared I jump back further on the bed, confused and afraid I hated doctors, I had to many and dident care to see more, specially when I have no clue as to what is going on " What the hell is going on!? What do you want what happened to me..Get away from me!" yep, as I said, I freaked. The man backs up and looks to me worridly, his eyes showing it and takes a step back from me" Miss we dont know what happened to you, Calm down and ill tell you what I know" I glare at him through my brown green eyes and sinks back under the covers realising I am only wearing a paper like top. " Well miss you were found near by, a friend of mine found you. He came across a craft that had crashed near by. He said you walked out of the craft and passed out in front of him nude and bleeding bad all over. He then brought you back here. To Miss Dee's home" ..Miss Dee's home?..He smiles as looks at me cerously " What were you doing in such a craft?" "What are you talking about I was never in a craft I only looked at one that was on my land!" Tears run down my face as I remember something...something from the past"oh gawd..this cant really be happening” The man cants his head slightly and walks up to me again, handing me a tissue box " hmm well my name is Alex. Im going to let you rest some more now and later we will talk more. I will introduce you to the others aswell "With that he turns and walks out of the room. As I watche curl up tightly in the covers of the bed, watching him leave. I just want to go home.. Quickly I fall into a deep sleep, something I loved to do..sleep and dream. I check out the room, shortly after my rest. Its not a bad size and the walls are soft peach color there is a brown bookshelf at the end of the bed and a small brown desk to the side with a desk lamp and some blank papers on it. At the head of the bed is a large sainted glass window that covers the back wall, raising a hand, I move the blinds out of the way to allow the warmth of the sunlight enter the room, finding it calming and easing me. After a moment, I turn to spot a large mirror next to the bookshelf, becoming shocked even more as I walk up to it. Surprised to what I see, jump back slightly from the mirror a moment, then slowly after a moment returning to it again. I can't believe this..theres now way..I ponder a moment wide eyed as I stare into the mirror. Thin and to my surprise slightly musclar. Glances my now, ferm body over and lightly caressing my sides as I stand infront of the mirror " Woah!..this has got to be a joke...it cant be real.." Freaks "Oh my gawd ... How?" A warm tear rolls down my cheek, such a this has happened..almost overwhelming " How is this possible...?" There is a knock at the door, as it opens slow with a light creak, a woman peeks in, She looks to be about 25, blond shoulder length curly hair, wearing a navy blue skirt and white blouse. Her lips are a bright cherry red and her eyes are brown. "Hello...I am Dee and im gald to see you’re finally awake "Slowly she pushes the door open more, her face showing she is slightly neverous and a bit curious as to her guest "May I came in?" she says smiling as she glances me. Nodding to her I smile slightly, watching her enter. she holds a bundle of clothing in her hands "I brought some clothes for you to try on so you can leave the room hehe" I let out a soft giggle, reciving the clothes from Dee, I turn and begin to dress " thank you! hehe" watching myself in the mirror still amazed to what I see " You know I never thought I would ever fit into clothes like these!" "What do you mean by that?" Dee looked at me puzzled, canting her head as I finish "um well...brfore I woke up here, I dident look like this. I was a little over weight and my hands were deformed some from arthritis" I place the paper gown on the bed and turn back to Dee, only to see her look more puzzled and wide eyed "What! How can you be suddenly healthy again.. You must be joking" She blinks seeing me still in tears from being over joyed and healthy again, soon realing that either im psyco or im telling the truth " your not lying are you...um let us go see the others they are waiting to talk to you.." Later on a large balcony near the rooftop. Some tables and slight stairway leading back inside. Alex is leaning back in a chair resting comfortably, the back of it against the wall. Dee stands next to me as I look out over the grounds, leaning to a stone railing. In a chair next to Alex is another man. Chase, he looks to be about 24-25. He has long dark brown hair that is tied back in a ponytail. He is musclar looking (but not too musclar) I have come to find out that I am Far from home, chase found the craft on a cliff nearby."...Well thats all I know.. I just blacked out and woke up here.." I rub gently on the stone at my throat..what is this.. The other man looks to her grinning " hmm I wonder what happened to you..?" He stands and turns to face me "by the way im Chase.." I turn and glance to him.. he's not that bed looking..pretty hot if i was ask.. looking to him all i do is smile "you’re the one that found me... thank you for helping me" I tend to think to myself, glancing back to the sky, remembering a dream I had once had. It was almost exactly like this. Even the names were the same. A chill runs throught me, and my skin grows goosbumbs." Are you alright..?" Dee asks. Turning, I face them quickly and slightly blushing " Yeah im fine just thinking of home. My family must be worried.. and im starving heh" Dee smiles and laughs a little "hehe sorry.. Would you like to go to a local resturant to eat then see some of the city?" " Sure...but I have no money.." Dee chuckles " haha you dont need to worrie about that.. It’ll be my treat. Chase and Alex would you like to join us?" they looks at each other and shrug. Chase oddly looks to me and smiles "Sure I need to go somewhere later anyway"With that they head back in side and ready to leave. Later I found a phone in the restuarent, I can wait any longer and call home. "Yes mom ...I'm ok...no I can get home by myself.."No mom.. im ok.. Alright I'll call you whe...hey dad!.... yes...no... hehe...yes I love you both too.. DaD!! haha...hehe byebye!" sighing as I hang up the phone, I move to the bar and take a seat next to Dee "Thank you Dee... I owe you much for this." Dee " You owe me nothing. I'm glad to be here and out for awhile." Dee grins, quickly driving another fry into her mouth "So see any cute guys here?" she giggles, I blink, blushing to the question slightly, causing me to giggle aswell and look around " hehe there all cuter than the ones from home." I then turn to face Chase smiling and noticing him looking at her oddly " Chase why do you stare?" He quickly looks away and back too his food "I was just thinking about that stone on you neck and a few other things." Thinking a moment and keeping my eyes on him " I seen the cliff in the distance when we were on the balcony. The one you said you found me at.. how did you get me back to the mansion?" He eats a fry " I carried you back.. (Munch)" As he finishes I asked him another question ceriously still staring as I notice his eyes" Why are your eyes so dark?" At that I turn away to finish my fries. He stands up smiling a bit and looks to me simply grining "Im wearing contacts.. Now its time I left, its getting late and I dont want to miss an appoitment... Later girls!" Alex stands up to follow " I'm going aswell see you two" He then turns to the door and leaves the restuarent. And it Starts: Later after a dessert and payment, just after we leave the restuarent. Dee turns to me as we walk down the street "So Xale you told me what you were like before you came here. What was it like if you dont mind me asking?" Her hand raises moveing her headband back slightly to keep her hair more away from her face. I simply stare at the ground we walk, watching the stones and dirt pass as I kick some up, thinking about the question moment before answering "I havent really known what it was like till now. Its something i lived with all my life." Sighing and glancing to Dee a moment, then back to the ground again." When ever i felt good was when the pain hurt the least. It’s odd to not hurt at all. It’s strange." And again I look at Dee with a question on my mind "Tell me about your self and the others..". Dee smiles at me then looks foward as she answers "Well Alex and Chase live with my dad and me. My dad is never home, so we help to run things at home for him. Alex was hired by dad to keep me in line and make sure im doing ok, like a live in doctor or nany, he is also my good friend aswell as Chase...Chase had nowhere to go when he meet my father. So my father offered him a place to stay as long as he worked here and watched the grounds. so thats...." Her words are intrupped as a older man runs into her, both toppling over from the hit." Dee are you ok?!" Reaches my hand out, I offer to help pull her to her feet. She brushes her skirt off then rubs her ass cheeks a bit. "Yeah im ok...that hurt..." Whencing a bit as she rubs her ass, she looks around and sees more people running, Some in a paniced. Dee grabs one of the people that fell, a young teen, and helps him up " Whats wrong? Why is everyone running?" He looks back to the way he came from and freaks out, straining and pulling away from Dee before running off. "Wait whats going on!!??" I cant help it, looking to the way the he came from, I almost freak aswell. "Uh Dee...it looks like he had good reason to run!!" She turns and finds out why everyone is running. A creature, human like, yet flying around some above the street, with the looks of a corpuse. Dark gray flesh pieces of it hanging from its bottom jaw and throat, hanging from it loosly. It hisses grotesqly as it carries an object locked between its boney legs. A woman near him, reaches out at him screaming " No please someone help my boy!!!" turning and glancing to the creature more, I find hes carring a small child. The creature hisses as the woman screams, simply droping the boy from its grip, one leg at a time. Screams as fear and rage quickly take me over "NO!!" Then all thought leaves me save for one, saving that boy. Suddenly as fast as before, the pain hits me again to my neck but not as bad as before, Suddenly I become sourounded with a silverly liquid, naturally gasping for air as one would swimming even tho there head is above water, it rushes around me and covers my body compleatly. It quickly hardens and takes shape to my body, bonding to my flesh and shaping, molding. Suddenly without thinking, I bolt towards the creature, jumping up into the air and catching the boy as he falls, then landing on the ground in a crouching position with the boy huddled in my arms. Slowly standing up, I allow the boy to run to his mother. She holds her boy close from love and fear, then looks at me" omg uh thank you!" Smiling and noding " now get out of here!" As the woman nods and runs off with her boy, I glance to my self a little burious and just blinks " WOAH!! this is cool!" Suddenly rammed in the side by the creature, it growls and tries to drive its upper fangs into my shoulder. Somehow, without effort, I manage to shove it away, knocking it a clear 10 feet away. I blink a moment and it hisses out " ahh you...food.." . I decide to take my shot at him, Darting at him and smacking my fists right into his face then following up wit my elbow, he growls as his face gets torn apart. Pieces of his skin and flesh fall to the ground just brfore he coplases, Me?..I just jump back in horror from the site ."What the?.. GROSS!!" Some of his flesh hangs from the blades that have formed on my elbows, then watching as his body melts away like it was smothered in acid, ozzing and turning into a thick fleshy goo. "I think im gona be sick...ugh.." Said weakly as I place a hand to my mouth and one to her stomach, trying to hold back the sickness. The armour melts away from me, seeping back into the gem and ground, and then a moment of weakness, colpasing to my knees and slightly dizzy. Dee runs up to me, her body shaking in fear, confusion and yet relief, she crouches next to me and blinks"Xale...Is that you?" Unmoving a moemnt to try and collect myself again " Yes its me.." Roughly said as the last bits of the armour melts away from my throat and face. "What just happened...what was that and.. you...?!" Glancing at Dee weakly and a little scared still, wondering just what had happened to me, but wondering only a moment "Dee i dont know what that was.. can we go back now I dont feel so good..." Dee reaches to me and helps me to my feet, "Me too..lets go" |
