Chapter 1
It was a quiet night, almost like every other in the small town of Sotoba. Though he couldn't see it, Luciferius could feel that something was wrong. He was walking through the woods, and felt cold shivers down his spine. It was quiet, almost… TOO quiet. He was looking around when he noticed faint red dots in the distance. He grinned and said, "So, they've finally come for me, huh?" He laughed and motioned forward. "Come forward, corpses." A number of figures walk towards him from the shade of the forest. They all have ghostly pale skin and cold red eyes. A girl with pink hair and strange clothes walks forward, and has a smug grin on her face. "So you already know what we are, huh? I guess we'll just have to kill you." She snaps, and two boys sprint forward at almost impossible speeds. However, he was behind them before they even got to him. He had held both by the neck, and was crushing them ever so slowly. Some of the figures started moving towards Luciferius, but the girl with pink hair stopped them. "Don't. If you do, he'll kill them." Luciferius laughed and let go of the figures. "Smart girl, Megumi Shimizu." The girl grit her teeth. "How do you even know my name, freak?" Megumi stared into Luciferius' eyes, and immediately knew that something was wrong. She looked closer and realized that his eyes were changing color. Fear spread through her as she slowly backed away. "W-what are you?" Luciferius shrugged. "Oh, just a traveler from a place very far away." A couple of the figures start running towards him. Megumi yells, "No! Don't!" Before they even get close to him, they collapsed Megumi glards at Luciferius, while he grinned at her. "All we wanted was to feed, not to meet a supernatural freak." Luciferius doubled over from the sudden pain in his neck. Unwanted memories rush back to him, and he screamed. Though Megumi Shimizu had heard and seen a lot of horrible things, this was the most chilling. Chills went up and down her spine, and she suddenly started shaking uncontrollably. When he stopped, he glared at Megumi. "We will meet again, Megumi. I promise you that." He got up and walked away, actually almost disappearing into the darkness. Megumi grit her teeth. "Who was that? Why was he so… creepy?" She shook her head. "Nevermind that. I've gotta tell Sunako about this encounter." She helped the Shiki to their feet and walked away. "He'll pay for hurting my family. I swear, he will."
Hello guys! I'm a new author, and this will be the first thing that I'll ever publish! I know that I'm not the best, but I try. And sorry, I'm not quite used to writing stories, but I'll get the hang of it. Peace!
