Causality
Chapter 1
The sun was shining brightly, and the day was pleasantly warm. The sunlight, however, fell on a dry wasteland, and there was no one to enjoy the warmth. There was no sound, nothing moved. In the middle of the wasteland was a tall, white building, with a few windows dotting its surface. They were dark and covered, no sunlight reaching inside.
The day was still.
Suddenly, the sound of glass shattering. A small green object flew out through a window as it was shattered, sending glass everywhere. The green creature fluttered its translucent wings, ignoring the cuts made in its skin by the flying glass. In its arms was clutched protectively a small white, round object.
A skittering noise followed, increasing quickly until finally becoming a steady screeching noise, as small metallic things began to emerge through the broken window. They skittered on many legs, pouring out the window and down the side of the building, thousands upon thousands. Once the first reached the empty, dry ground, they began to crawl along it after the flying green creature.
The green creature glanced back, eyes widening in fear, and then strained its wings to try to go faster. In the distance it could see a line of trees; safety.
For several minutes, the trees in the distance came steadily closer, but the wave of tiny metallic creatures kept up perfectly. The green creature's hopes rose as the trees drew nearer. It glanced down at the round object it was carrying, then returned its focus to the trees.
Finally the creature zipped into the trees and landed on a branch, leaning back against the trunk and breathing heavily. I… made it.
Then it looked down and realized that the steady screeching noise hadn't stopped; to its horror, it realized that the metallic things were climbing up the tree.
A determined look came across the green creature's face, and it then closed its eyes, concentrating. The forest stirred, and the fallen leaves that had carpeted its floor began to move, whipped around by a wind that wasn't there. They rose into the air and began to swirl, slowly at first, then gaining speed, circling around the army of metal creatures and obscuring them from sight.
The green creature relaxed, slumping wearily against the tree trunk and sighing. Gradually, the screeching noise died down and stopped altogether, and then the leaves began to fall away, returning to the forest floor where they had come from. The green creature smiled thankfully.
Then the skittering noise began again. The creature jumped, then shot a glance downward, and swallowed. The metallic things were still there, and they were starting up the tree again.
Quickly the green creature straightened, pulling the white round object it held closer to its chest, and took off, flying further into the forest. The metallic creatures struggled to get back down the tree, but others were in their way, and so they dissolved into a chaotic mess as they attempted to reorient themselves.
The green creature looked back and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned back to see where it was going and was promptly struck in the face by a tree branch. Giving a cry of surprise and dismay, it fell to the leafy ground, landing on its back, and the white round object it had held flew off into a particularly thick layer of leaves. The creature laid there, stunned, for several seconds.
A skittering noise then came, but it was from the opposite direction the creature had been fleeing from. The green creature blinked, before grabbing its head and sitting up, wincing.
A metallic, spider-like creature appeared, scuttling through the trees. It looked identical to the others, but this one was much bigger, slightly larger than the green winged creature.
Two red eyes in its surface locked on to the green creature, and a voice spoke from it. "Well, what is this?"
The green creature looked up at it, gulping as its eyes widened. It spoke telepathically, its "voice" being heard by the metallic creature. "Please, why can't you leave me alone?"
"You were important to FOG. Due to your escape, you have been slated as dangerous and will be terminated. Where is the egg?"
The green creature stood up slowly. "I'm not dangerous, if you let me go I swear I won't give you any trouble."
"Where is the egg?" the metallic creature simply repeated.
The green creature glanced around at the forest, beginning to back away. "I… I'll take you to it. Okay?"
"No. Divulge the location of the egg."
"If I tell you, will you agree not to kill me?"
"No."
"Well then, I won't tell you." The green creature suddenly stopped backing up as its back met a tree. It gulped.
"Very well. You will be terminated." The metallic creature scurried forward slightly.
The green creature winced. "C-can we talk about this?"
The metallic creature did not reply. Instead it suddenly darted forward, stabbing one sharp leg end into the other creature's stomach.
The green creature looked down, seeing the metallic leg piercing its midriff, and grunted at the explosion of pain that resulted. A red liquid began to seep from between the embedded metal and the edges of the wound. The green creature then glanced up at the red, glowing, emotionless eyes of the other creature, and said telepathically, "I… hope this… satisfies you…"
Another of the creature's legs flashed forward and pierced the green creature's chest. "Yes. It does."
The green creature gasped, reaching up and grasping the leg in its chest. "Go… die… please." Then it whimpered and went limp, its eyes closing, and its arms falling to hang by its sides. Blood dripped from its wounds and its hands, which were soaked.
The metallic creature withdrew its sharp legs with several sickening sucking noises. Then, letting the body fall to the ground carelessly, it turned and scurried off, without a second thought.
The forest was still once more.
Then a flash of light lit up the forest a few feet away, and when it died down another green creature was standing there. It began to survey its surroundings, when a breeze blew through the forest and stirred the leaves. A flash of white among a bed of leaves caught the green creature's eye.
Moving toward the white spot, the creature then began to brush away the leaves, soon uncovering a small round shape. The creature looked at it, then glanced at its surroundings, before bending down and gently picking up the object. Then the green creature, and the round object it now held, disappeared in another flash of light.
