October, the leaves are falling in the rural backwoods farming zone outside of the city, Ace and her friends where riding on the bus home frome school. A Girl sits by the window staring out sunglasses on event thou its barely shinning. Her hair short and chopped, messy and dirty blond the sides buzzed down. She smiles to her music. The funny thing is she doesn't look like a girl. Breasts barely show her clothes gothic and like a boy pants hanging off her ass. A two tier chain clanks with a wallet in her pocket. A Bioshock2 tee shirt and a pair of rude fitting skinny jeans grace her body. Belt buckle shows under shirt hanging behind it, skulls pressed into the leather belt. Black Shiny leather boots on her feet, buckles and straps. Something of this Girl seems off. Eyes large and Blue with yellow veined centers. Muscular arms, ridiculously muscular body. Ears Pierced and gauged. And a unique spot on her a black mark on her lower lip. Her skin was a tint of greenish and white skinned. Long gnarled fingers; sharp nails. She wasn't born naturally she was lab made a special covert project for human perfection. For 16 she's built like a grey hound. Her Smell, and even her scent smells of AXE and cologne and a scent of a boy lingers on her without.
She glances down at her IPod and clicks and then lowers her shades to look back into the bus when a boy behind her taps her shoulder. She turns and looks and pops the buds frome her ears, "What"? The boy looks at her and grins manically, "Hey, what's it like to be a freak". Ace looks down and back up with a sinister look. "Wonderful and oh, I don't know how doe's it feel, you're the freak for hitting on a butch dyke, you know I don't like dick". Ace laughs and turns to her friend Robin sitting beside her. Robin flips her long hair around and looks up her art book. "You handled him well". Ace stretches out her arms." I get that shit a lot".
Robin peers accost at Max. "So you guys going to come to that spooky barn I was talking about"? Max says as he flips his flat billed hat around. "Me and Kriss found it back on that old abandoned farm down the road". Ace gets excited her face lighting up. "Fuck yha, im in so when are we doin it"? Ace says and scoots over in the seat. Robin looks intrigued. "Let's just get off the bus together and check it out before it gets dark". "I've got my stiletto knife on so no worries, if anything happens ive got it covered" Ace says showing the inside of her bag to Max, Kriss whose sitting next to Max legs over the seat to the open one in the isle and get's in the conversation. "Me and max found it four wheeling last night we heard something crying inside sounded like some kind of cat in heat or something, seems some ones been there lately tracks er' fresh in the road and the electric's been runnin". "Hey you guys", says Austin frome behind Ace. "Can I come"? She says as she pets Aces arm flirting. Ace turns to her and raises an eyebrow in ignorance of her affectionate flirting and looks away. "Yha common every one".
The bus stops and Ace, Kriss, Robin and Austin get off. The bus rolls away in a whoosh of dry leaves.
(Next scene) "The roads over here", Max leads to the dirt road littered with rusty and yellow dead leaves. "Well", Max says as he looks back at them, Ace walks forward past them boldly. "Let's go"! Austin fallows behind Ace like a sick puppy. Kriss catches up with them and Robin trails behind a little. "So how far is it back here", Robin asks. "Uhh, not to far about as long as a walk around the block". Robins eyes dart to Austin who is hanging on Aces arms. Ace shoves her off irritated. (View) The House comes into view it looks deserted enough. Ace looks back at them and they come to the barn. "Well here it goes". Max takes out his bolt cutters and grunts as he snaps the bolt off the door. The lock falls off and hits the dirt. Ace steps beside him. "So who's going in first"? Ace grabs the door and go's inside. Every one files behind her. Max shuts the door and looks up. "This don't look like no abandoned barn". Couches and furniture lines the door way; There's a bed on a raised platform and sun the shining down on it frome a roof window. Stuffed animals and blankets. And a dragonfly mobile hanging on the wall. Drawings tacked to the barns wooden beams. And a table and shelves with pots and bowls toys and puzzles a scrabble game laid out on the table with the words 'W-A-N-T' 'L-O-V-E'. And strangest of all a huge barrel with pipes coming frome inside. Ace stepped into the room he glanced around at the strange place. "Like a bed room, some one live here". Max says as he stares at the Barbie doll sitting in the mirrored box. A picture sits in the box with a dress up crown sitting on the table. A record player sits open on a skipping record. "Some ones here", Robin says as she takes the needle off and turns the box off. A noise clatters frome the corner of the room clicking and the sound of foot steeps. Suddenly something leaps up into the air and lands in the rafters. Ace turns to see a girl up in the rafters her feet clutching the beam. It glares down at them. "What the Fu-"? The Girl jumps down landing gracefully. She looks at them head cocked and she sniffs the air and walks towards them. Austin screams. The Girl backs away as she screams. Austin runs for the door. Max pulls out Aces stiletto blade. "No, don't"! Ace cries out at max grabbing his wrist hopeing to stop him. Max raises his arm. The girl screeches and a tail whips the blade frome Maxes hand. She grins; the girl seemed amused, and Max runs after Austin out of the barn door Kriss grabs the knife off the ground and runs after them. Ace is alone with this girl as her friends run in terror leaving her behind. The Barn door swings closed.
Ace is alone, She looks at this girl. Her legs are arched and strange. Her head hairless and her brow aches her lips are glistening. Her eyes are large like Aces, beautiful. Ace sees the tail frome behind her navy blue u-neck shirt. She is slightly taller then Ace and she feels small. The Girl comes closer sniffing the air she seems confused and wordless, her eyes piercing Ace inside. She steps up to Ace. Her hands have four fingers three and a thumb her feet look to ace like hands. Ace watches her in the eyes. "Hello, I'm Ace What's your name", The Girl paused and she smiled but no words she squeaked, "Eeeuuooo hehehe", she giggled. "Im not going to hurt you, and your your eyes are beautiful", The girl smiled sweetly and her face blushed, "Here take my hand", The girl stepped closer she extended her hand and Ace touched her fingers to her hand. The girl grabbed Ace's clutching her hand and came up onto her. She sniffed Ace her nose touching aces skin along her neck. She looked Ace in the eyes and grabbed Aces shoulders and held tight. She licked Aces face. Strange sensation frome the smooth wet tongue to soft skin. Ace was dumbfounded.
She looked ace in the eyes and grabbed her hand. She looked over to the table and back to Ace. "Ok I get you". Ace sits at the table and The girl shifts the letters around on the scrabble board. "What's your name"? The girl takes the letters and spells out 'D-R-E-N'. "Dren?, Your name is Dren"? Ace played it cool, she was not afraid of this creature, however beautiful and vexingly strange. "Reeeee", She piped in a high pitched grin and nods. Ace looks at her tail. She fallows Aces gaze and looks up at Ace. "You have a tail". Ace watched as she took it I her hands and offered it to Ace with a nod. Ace held it; it was smooth and muscular sinuous. Ace took her fingers and ran it across the tail and frome the tip a point came out. Ace jumped a little. Dren squeezed Aces hand "Eeuuurr, mmmm" she squeaked eyebrows raised as if to say 'sorry'. Ace is lucky that she can read expressions. Dren pulled her barb back in. "Well your just full of surprises", Ace mused and held Dren's hand. Dren leaned forward and looked hard at Ace. Ace looked over at the scrabble tiles and pointed at the words that lay separate on the table. "Want Love"? Dren looked distressed at the question. She stood up and pulled Ace to her feet.
