Chapter 1: Let the Nightmare Begin
"My kingdom corrupt with dissent
Your sins erupt by my intent
I loathe your prayer, I wallow in sin
Let the nightmare begin
Prince of darkness, your satanic highness"

I should probably start out with introductions, hey there my name is Akira Murphy my sister and best friend is Susan Murphy. This all takes place the morning before her wedding; she's getting married to some guy named Derek Dietl. Personally I hate him, he's a douche. But I would never tell that to Susan in fear of she might wish to murder me.
----5:00 a.m. Murphy Residents----
I was snug under my comforter and blankets pilled high on top of me as comfortable as I could be. I was having this really weird dream about me and Susan where monsters. Her name was Ginormica she was at least 50 feet tall and her hair was a silver white color. I was sitting on her shoulders except the only difference was I was a white tiger with claws and teeth that could rip through steel, my name was Tigrerra. We were sitting on the roof of the old gas station outside town and next to us where so really weird characters one was a monkey-fish thing, another was a pile of living toothpaste, then the last one seemed normal except he had a cockroach head.
Susan seemed rather upset and before my dream self could ask what was wrong I heard someone scream and it didn't come from the dream. I shot up in bed and jumped out only to be caught by my blankets and comforter causing me to trip to the floor. I stood up and ran across the hallway to my sister's room the source of the noise. Almost yanking the door off its hinges, as my eyes adjusted to the lamp light. "What in the name of bloody hell!?" I asked rubbing my eyes to focus better to the light. I blinked once only to see the so thought of 'terror scaring my sister' was only her friends/brides maids. Joy. "Turn on the TV quickly turn it on now!" One of them said, I never bothered to remember their names and my guess was they never remembered mine.
You see I'm not like most 24 year-old girls my age, sure I look ok, my short almost bob cut brown hair that hung to about my chin, my ok figure. People thought I was nice looking but once they talked to me they think the same thing everyone else does. Dork. Sure just because I like things like video games and classic movies like star wars, they understand that much. But what they never wrap their pea-sized brains around is that I'm an Otaku (which is someone that loves anime/manga to much) A 24 year-old college graduate is obsessive with anime. I watched quietly as my sister picked up the remote and flicked on the tube-a-vision
and as expected the first thing to appear on that screen was Derek. He was the TV weather man for channel 172 the news station here in Modesto, California. "Morning fog gives way to sunny skies over the Modesto area." Derek said motioning to the weather map be hide him as he looked toward the camera. "A perfect day to go down to the old fair grounds and see the arts and craft show, or a perfect day to marry Susan Murphy." He cupped his hands in front of him to form a heart as he smiled to the camera. "I love you baby." He whispered before the camera turned off from him to the anchors, the brides maids filled the room with 'aw' soon followed suit by the anchors be hide the desk. Susan placed her hand on top of the TV and smiled softly. "I love you too…" I sighed; I could never find a guy like that I guess my standers are a bit too high for most men…
The rest of the day went by in a blur I was still sleepy from this morning's 'I love you' confession threw a television set. But Susan was a happy as ever and what woman wouldn't be happy on her wedding day? I was the only girl there in a suit when I first showed Susan what I was wearing to the wedding she couldn't help but laugh. I told her when we were kids, and I had a hate for dresses, that when she got married I would be wearing a tux. So I kept my word for it and here I was at my sister's wedding in a penguin suit. We soon found Derek's mother sporting a purple dress and matching hat, "I thought this was a wedding not a fruit sale on plums…." I whispered to Susan who giggled and playfully slapped me on my arm. "Mama Dietl!" They grasped each other's arms in a in-law like way.
"Oh it's like a fairy tale! The weather man and the weather man's wife!" I raised an eyebrow; I mean who couldn't at a comment like that? What fairy tale book was she reading; I don't recall Cinderella marrying weather man… "I know! And by this time tomorrow I'll be in Pairs! And some day we won't be just honeymooning there, Derek will become a news anchor or a foreign correspondent and we'll travel all over the world!" Susan said jumping up in down in place, she was really happy and that could only make me smile. Like I said earlier Susan is my sister but she's also my best friend so if anything or anyone talks bad or stabs her in the back about something, you're not only dealing with a pissed off sister but a pissed off friend as well.
"Oh honey my fingers are crossed." Ms. Dietl said holding up her fingers to show they were crossed but something caught us off guard was her short thumb. Me and Susan looked like we both where going to hurl or something. Ms. Dietl notice Susan's change of expression (I apparently don't excises in this fairy tale) "One thumb is shorter than the other it runs in the family." Our expression didn't change in the slightest at that. "But Derek doesn't have that…" Susan said with a hint of thankfulness sprinkled on top of her words. "It skips a generation. Your kids are going to have it!" Ms. Dietl said grinning showing off her denture looking teeth. Ouch much. Poor Susan I know I wouldn't have any kids if that was me.
After a while of talking to people (though Susan did most of the talking) I managed to pull her outside for some fresh air. We were standing under the gazebo laughing at memories we had together. "Wow you look beautiful" We turned around and there was mister hot shot himself. Derek. The sight (and smell) of him made me want to gag but I held it in. "Thanks. So do you, I mean handsome!" Susan said embarrassed her face slightly flushed of color. "Sorry I just spent way too much time with our parents…" It was true (and understandable) I smiled as she went on talking about how much fun they were going to have in Pairs.
I wish I could find a guy like that… Arg! There I go again getting boy crazy bad Akira bad! Only did I snap out of my fantasy when I heard Derek the douche as I like to call him, said about a change of plans. "We're not going to Pairs…" The look on Susan's face was enough to want me to murder the guy my neck started to twitch. "Because we're going someplace better!" "What's better than Pairs? Tahiti?!" Susan said getting excited all over again. "Nope. Fresno." Ok my neck started to twitch again. HE WAS CANCELING MY SISTER'S HONEYMOON TO GO TO FRESNO!?! "Fresno…..In what universe is Fresno better than Pairs Derek?" Susan said disappointed, clearly on the same page as me. "In the I might have a chance to become channel 23's anchor universe." Susan was a little baffled but my fists where clenched. He was canceling Pairs to help his job!? Susan then replaced her disappointed look with a smile as she hugged him. "That's great! Fresno's like a top 50 market right?" "Well fifty-fifth but we're on our way babe! Now look about Pairs…" He said trying to pout making him all innocent like, blech. "It's ok as long as we're together Fresno is the most beautiful place on the planet."
She playfully shoved him and told him to get out of here about it being bad luck for him to see her in her dress. "You know I was about to punch Derek." Susan sighed and looked over at me with a smirk on her face, she knew that I never liked Derek all that well but she soon grew used to it. "It's all right Akira; I'm fine with it I'll get to Pairs someday you'll see!" I smiled at her optimism, but frowned walking off the gazebo. Looking up towards the sky, Susan followed me before noticing a giant meteor falling from the sky. "Run!" She said I soon followed after her command I stop when I saw her turn around she was two feet be hide me, and before I could scream 'Run!' the meteor came down on us both.
I felt warm air around me, as if I was floating I managed to open my eyes and I saw Susan laying next to me. I crawled over and wrapped her arm around my neck to lift her up. "Susan! Akira! Where are you?" I heard mum calling for us, I struggled getting out of the hole but managed better once Susan woke up and started to help carry her own weight. "I feel like I've been hit by a meteor…" Susan mumbled somewhat slurred I tried to dusk myself off as mum dusted Susan off. "Oh Susan every bride feels like that on her wedding day." Mum said picking grains of dirt off of Susan's arm and dusting the back of my tux off.
She soon lead us inside where we got cleaned up, I waited up by the alter for my sister swaying side to side. (I have standing still issues) I silently glared at Derek failing to notice the music has started to play, but Derek ignores me. (Once again am I invisible over here? Hellloooo) Susan was wearing a white veil the music stops as soon as she reaches the alter, Derek threw back the veil and grimaced. "Wow your glowing…" I lean over to look at my sister and the only thing that comes to mind is, holy shit. "Thank you."
Susan said smiling not being able to see her own skin right now. "No Susan…You're green!" I said Susan looked down at her hands that started to grow larger. I reached out my hand to touch hers but they felt softer I looked down only to find my hands where replaced with paws! I got down on all fours and I transformed into a white tiger which was quiet painful. But as my crises was going on Susan had her own problems. She was growing and growing, her hair was now completely white. (Hehe old lady…) I jumped up on her shoulder and looked around. "Susan what's going on!?" I yelled great full I could talk, thankfully Susan didn't get frightened and somehow knew it was me.
"I don't know! Everyone please stay calm! Have some Champagne while we're figuring this out!" She said trying to stop a crowd of people running for the exit. Derek's mother screamed something about thumbs before she was mobbed by a well….Mob. Susan's height continued to grow and soon she broke through the roof of the church causing the bell tower to fall down. I glanced at a beam that fell on Derek and tried not to laugh at the given moment. Susan quickly removed the beam and picked him up, "Beam hurt Derek…." He mumbled as he clinged on to Susan's hand. "Derek what's happening?" Susan said as Derek looked around frightened.
"I don't know but whatever you do just don't drop—"Too late, Susan's arm was being pulled down by some ropes. Causing her to drop Derek, who to my dismay was rescued by a bunch of people with a trampoline. "Who are you people!?" Me and Susan yelled out, I let out a fierce roar which caught them off guard giving Susan enough time to break free. But then she was shot in the leg with a giant needle, she pulled it out and threw it on the ground stabbing someone in the foot. I couldn't help it I laughed I laughed so hard I almost fell off of Susan's shoulder. I laughed so hard I failed to notice the tranquilizer dart someone shot at my but. But I did notice the darkness as I faded into sleep the last thing I heard was Susan calling out for Derek and someone saying "Ok get them in the van."
"Where am I…."I mumbled sitting up on my uncomfortable bed only to be faced with a bright flashing red light creating one of those sounds that makes you want to punch a baby. "Damn it my head…." I groaned rubbing it but I felt something quite soft on the top of my head I blinked and pulled at it noticing that it was attached to my skull. I stood up only to be tripped falling on my face, which when the floor is made of steel hurts…Really bad. I looked up to see what had caused me and the floor to meet so painfully. It was the last thing on earth I thought I would ever see. A tail, a white tiger tail swishing happily be hide me. I put two and two together and figured that the soft things on top of my head must have been ears. "I look like I came out of firkin Tokyo Mew Mew! " I screamed which caused the blinking lights to go off and stop the sound.
Then the entire box that I was in jerked in a downward motion. If you've ever been to Disney World and had the chance to ride the Tower of Terror then the expertise I'm going through right now is very similar. Then without warning the thing came to a jerking halt. (Much like in the ride) The hatch or door of the thing opened, I slowly stood up and walked out of my box like hell. I looked around and saw someone I was thanking god I thought I would never see again. "Susan!" I screamed in utter joy as I ran up to my much taller sister using my new found claws/nails to crawl up to her shoulder.
"Akira! Thank god a another person! You do know you have a tail right?" I nodded and grinned to show it wasn't bothering me at all. "And your fifty feet tall…Moving on!" Before she could say anything I shushed her, we both heard something. We found this crack in the wall and Susan walked over to it. "Hello?" She called out trying to bend down and look for any signs of life. I looked about the room there was a huge table and chair, about Susan's size. And a smaller set of chairs and a table about the size of a normal person. I notice this tube appear from the ceiling of the cell and tugged on Susan's hair.
"Susan… look…" I said pointing at the tube she turned around and walked over to it. It seemed to spurt out something similar to oatmeal, then it spit out a large sized spoon. "Yuck…" I muttered staring at the pile of so called eatable substance. I saw something skitter by and I'm guessing Susan did too because she quickly clutched onto the spoon. "Who's there…?" I growled under my breath. I looked and something was poking its head out be hide the large pile of oatmeal, it soon came into full view. It had a cockroach like head and a human body. "Like the thing from my dream…" I thought staring at the strange man-bug.
Susan however screamed and started to whack at the thing with the spoon. "Madam! Please!" It spoke taking about as much as the spoon whacking as it could take. "Whatever mad scientist made you…He really went all out!" It said before falling over onto the table, Susan backed away from the table. Probably as freaked out as I was at the fact it could talk, I was going to say something but Susan slipped causing her to fall backwards I managed to jump off her shoulder just in time landing myself on the table stumbling next to the cockroach man. And because I'm so very graceful. I landed flat on my face,
"Would you like a hand there Madam?" I looked up to see la cucaracha offering me his hand. I was not so sure about this I mean who knows where is hand has been? (He is a cockroach after all…) But I took it all the same he helped me up and I dusted off my cloths only then stopping to notice I was no longer in my suit but in some prison outfit, same with Susan. I was pulled out of the way by Mr. Cockroach-man I was about to yell at him for doing that only to see that I would have been attacked by glob of blue toothpaste. He looked over at me with his one eye and smiled.
"Hi I'm B.O.B" Super Cockroach-man (sorry I'm running out of names ok?) sighed and shook his head. "Sorry but as you can see he has no brain." B.O.B waved his hand as if saying 'pssh who needs a brain?' "It turns out you don't need one! Totally over rated in fact I don't even—"He never finished his sentence for the fact he apparently forgot how to breathe. "Help me Doctor Cockroach I forgot how to breathe!" B.O.B gasped out, so that's what his name was…I was close…Kinda… Doctor Cockroach looked very annoyed by B.O.B's actions as if he had to go through with this daily.
"Suck in B.O.B" The Doctor said, his words covered and deep fried in annoyance. B.O.B following the Doctor's orders soon was breathing normal again. I dragged my attention from Doctor Cockroach and B.O.B back to Susan; she was face to face with the fish-monkey from my dream. Cool. The fish monkey started doing all sorts of weird karate moves before stepping on his tail and tripping. I snickered as I watched the fish-monkey make a fool of himself, I jumped off the table landing on my feet. "I guess being part cat as given me some grace." I thought laughing inwardly as I walked over to Susan who was sitting down her knees pulled up to her chest. I patted her rather large foot trying to tell her it would be ok.
I overheard Doctor and the others talking. "Gentlemen we are in the presence of the very rare female monster!" Doctor Cockroach said one hand was be hide his back the other griping his lab coat. "And I'm afraid we're not making a very good first impression!" The Doctor laughed nervously, "No way! They're totally guys, look at their boobies." I blinked. Did he just? "I think we need to have a talk…" The monkey-fish said, while they where a distances away I got a better look at the group.
B.O.B was as I said before a blob of blue toothpaste with one eye. The fish-monkey well he was kind of chubby but had scales, gills and a tail just like a fish. Though his head was more monkey shaped and so where his hands and feet. Then there was Doctor Cockroach, he was sporting a white lab coat, plaid pants that no one has wore since the fifties and a gray turtle neck under the coat. "Might we ask for you names Madams?" Doctor said, very polite for being part cockroach.
"I'm Akira and this is my sister Susan." I said motioning to us; my poor sister looked almost too frightened to speak. "No! He mean's your monster names!" B.O.B said talking like he, the one without a brain that called me and Susan guys, knew everything."Like what do people scream when they see you coming. 'Look out here comes!'" B.O.B said pointing at us to finish
"Akira." I spoke slowly motioning to myself before motioning to my sister. "Susan." B.O.B stopped to ponder this, like there was something to ponder. "Akirraaaaa! Whoa! I just scared myself! That is scary!" I did what someone on a forum would call a facepalm. That's where you rest your head in the palm of your hand when someone says/does something stupid. Just then a tube similar to the one that spit out the oatmeal soon started spitting out fish, ham, and…garbage?
It turned out that was there lunch, Doctor was happy he apparently got a slipper…Gross… As I was about to hurl I was tugged away from my thoughts when I heard Susan scream. I turned around to see a giant bug thing the size of Godzilla! My mouth dropped wide open, bugs where never supposed to be that huge! "Holy mother %^#!" (Censored)
Doctor Cockroach looked up from his pile of garbage and scowled at me, like he's never heard a girl cuss before. "Madam! Where did you learn such fowl mouthed words?" Apparently he never has heard a woman cuss before. "Hey don't scare Insectosaurus! He'll pee himself then we'll all be in trouble…" The fishy man jumped out of his seat and walked over to the giant bug and started to pet its belly. Susan had finally lost it and started bagging on the walls screaming to let her out.
"Poor Susan…" I said sadly taking the empty chair that fishy man once sat in. "Oh that fish thing over there is the Missing Link, but we all call him Link." Doc informed me I nodded and started imaging him in a green tunic, a funny hat, blond hair, a sword, and an annoying blue fairy to add the icing on the cake. I giggled at my little thought, Link turned over to look at Susan who was still screaming.
"Hey that is not a good idea!" He yelled jumping down from the giant bug's foot, but sure enough he was right. All of Susan's yelling had caused one of the hatches to open up and two glaring red lights appeared from the darkness. "Good going Susan…" I muttered under my breath hunching over like a cat about to pounce.
