All the Time in Two Worlds
(Based on the idea of "Dude, Where's My World" by Princess Geta)
Out in the country of the Texas Panhandle, where the wind blows hard and the air is usually fairly warm and dry, there was a small two story house. In it there lived a family of 5, two boys and three girls, counting the parents. What makes this family a little different is that they had a cousin over for a visit from Oregon. He and the older of the two daughters got along very well and rarely ever fought.
"I've done my research on monsters, and that research says that Vampires are another type of succubus." the cousin argued. He is 16 year old William. William was a huge otaku who wrote stories and played video games. He was about 6 feet tall with buzz cut short red hair and a medium build. He was always seen wearing a shirt with some kind of anime or video game design on it with a pair of double knee jeans.
"But how is a vampire supposed to accomplish that?" a female voice retorted. This voice belonged to William's 19 year old cousin, Karen. Karen had a small build and dirty blond hair coming down just below her shoulders. She usually wore a slightly loose t-shirt with a pair of jeans or a long skirt. She was also one of those people who liked talking about and writing stories about fantasy creatures. Her stories were of a fairly higher degree than her younger cousin.
"If a vampire comes into contact with garlic, they essentially get drunk and act like a regular succubus. Plus, the fact that they can charm a man by sucking their blood is proof." William replied with a smirk. The two of them argued over certain mythologies and fantasy creatures regularly. Not full on yelling, just civilized disagreements.
Usually it varied between what they knew and how one thing would contradict what the other knew and what they told each other on how to improve each other's stories to make them more interesting. They were the only two people in the house that knew what the other was talking about, and they didn't complain that much about it.
Today, the two cousins were arguing again, and were starting to get fairly loud. After about ten minutes of arguing, Karen's mother came into the room.
"That's it," she sighed angrily, "If you two are going to do nothing but argue, do it outside. You've both been on your computers all day, so scoot!" The cousins looked at each other and sighed, turning off their computers and going outside. As they were walking, they heard the news report on the TV and stopped to watch.
"Police are still looking for the numerous teens that have mysteriously gone missing over the past few months,' the reporter stated, "However, they aren't coming up with any clues because it seems like they were kidnapped from inside their own homes. From what police could gather from possible witnesses, the teens would be minding their own business and then a storm would come unnaturally fast. Then when it was over, the teens would be gone. If you know anything about the whereabouts of these teens, please contact your local police."
"Dang, they still haven't come up with anything?" William said bluntly as he went outside with Karen. "Who could be so good at covering up their tracks that they can kidnap someone from there house?" Karen hopped onto the trampoline in the backyard with William following suit.
"Unless the person has wings, it's pretty impossible." Karen replied doing a flip.
"Yeah, but that's the question though. How does someone kidnap a person from inside their own house? They'd have to be like a ghost or something." William said, sitting down on the trampoline with a bound.
"Now there's an idea." Karen replied following William. "It would be pretty cool if it was something like that. Heck, even a character from one of those animes you watch."
"THAT would be a sight to see. Something like, say, Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate coming down and swooping up unsuspecting teens and never letting them go until they reach their own destination. That would be awesome." The two of them went back and forth going on about how cool it would be to see a Siren, a Succubus, a Vampire, and a few other monsters being the cause of the disappearances for about ten minutes before Karen noticed something unusual for their small neighborhood.
"Uh is it just me, or are those clouds coming in really fast?" She noted nervously to her cousin. He turned around and noticed the clouds.
"Uh, wasn't there something on that news report that said the teens disappeared during storms that came unnaturally fast?" William asked. Karen nodded and started to shiver a bit as the temperature dropped about 10 degrees.
"Let's get back inside and quick." She almost demanded. William had no objections and went to move off the trampoline, but came face to face with something that scared the daylights out of him. In his face and staring directly at him was a hooded figure with deep black wings and skin, white hair, and completely red eyes. It grinned and spoke in a raspy but deep voice.
"Ah you two will be perfect. You're both coming with me."
"And what if we refuse?" William snapped. The monster only chuckled as a response then dove at them. William used the trampoline to get on top of the creature and started to punch its head. The creature growled as the storm grew fiercer and did a barrel roll, flipping William and grabbing both him and Karen as it flew off with the storm as cover. The two cousins struggled to get out of the monster's grip as it flew further and further away from home. Karen screamed as she struggled, while William resorted to the one of the oldest tricks in the book: biting until the captor let go. The creature seemed unaffected by William's attempt to get free, and only flew faster. As their home disappeared into the distance, William began to panic along with his cousin when he remembered something he learned when he started learning basic self defense. He took his elbow and rammed it into the creature's solar plexus, knocking the wind out of it and causing him to growl in frustration, but it kept on flying.
After about 5 minutes they were over what looked like a rocky wasteland. William took the time to look around and see where he could time his strike so the monster would let go of them with minimal damage. He noticed a small path leading up to a huge castle that seemed to be about 50 feet below them coming up ahead. Thinking this could be his ticket out, he readied his strike and let loose an elbow thrust that was able to make the creature let go of him and drop him. William screamed as it seemed to be a longer fall than he thought by about 5 feet. The creature turned around to grab him, but decided against it and flew off as fast it could with Karen still in its arm.
Karen saw William fall and felt tears well up in her eyes. She tried to use William's strategy to get free, but only managed to ready her elbow before she felt something make contact with her neck, knocking her out. The creature continued on its course to its secret destination, wary of what were to happen, should it have to go back for William.
"Ow! Dammit! Crap!" he yelled as he bounced off the ground. When he stopped bouncing, he thought he heard a small crack as pain coursed through his being. He slowly turned his head to find another figure looming over him as his vision went blurry. He reached out to the figure and whisper yelled, "Medic" before he passed out as the figure got closer to him.
A/N: Short chapter, I know, but I honestly couldn't think of anything else to write. I'll try my best to make the rest of the chapters longer. As always, review this with positive feedback and constructive criticism. Flames will be treated with smartass remarks.
