I work very hard on this story I hope I did a good job. This is not a Cry/OC story its more of friendship type but there will be some romance in the story between Red and Russ even Bstar get some may come out slow I'm trying my hardest to keep the mistake down to a minimum.
Please read and review
Since I was a four-year-old girl I spent my life here in this dark prison of a room. Forever locked away from the world. I was told that I was a danger to all around me and that it would be better if I was dead. I don't know why but I know that it has something to do with my unique look. The irises of my eyes are as black as the pupils themselves, the people who put me in this room called them 'eyes of the devil himself. The color of my hair is also known for it to be demonic in ways; it's black as coal and moves like the shadows outside the window. When I get scared or even lonely it moves to comfort me, wrap itself around my person to show that I'm not alone. It even takes on shapes to amuse me from the world around.
I should feel grateful those who locked me away gave me so much to read and I learn much from watching the people outside my window. I feel like I'm watching a play as I see the people interacted with each other even at time I pretend to be controlling them.
There was only one person who would stay by my side and be my friend. He has been taking care of me ever since I have arrived. He told me to call him Doctor Iknom, he had the most loveliest brown hair and the most hilarious laugh of all laughs. Whenever he would come to see me he came with yummy treat and new games to play. But it seems to come with a cost; I was to always sit still and let him take my blood and anything else he needed. He said it was what a doctor was supposed to do.
But I didn't mind, he was kind to me and would teach me things like the different constellations and different types of herb that could heal someone from the worse diseases. When I asked why he was the only one to like me he said it was for the fact that he believes that no child would wish such horrid things upon themselves and that he wanted to help me. I believed that one day he would free me from this curse.
It was that day that the Doctor became my Prince Charming or My Knight in Shining Armor. He was like all the princes that the fairy tale books I have read would talk about; trying to save the fare maiden from evil dragon or witch. He was so very handsome too. He was my first and only crush. Sometimes I would even call him Doctor Charm. Not much of imagination.
Lately something has been amiss even though I have been here for six years the people outside the room seem to get older so much faster than one would think. When I last looked at the baker he was a man of middle age with a son as old as me but yesterday when I looked out the window he was suddenly an old man waiting for death and his son. His son was now running the shop with a beautiful wife who was pregnant. I wanted to know why the world outside my room was changing and growing and leaving me behind. The only one who seem to be unaffected by the ever changing time was Doctor Iknom. I asked the Doctor why everyone outside this room changing but he and I. He replied back that it was just a trick of my eyes that everything was fine. I believed him; he never gave me a reason to not trust him. So I never asked again.
Today marks my tenth birthday and sixth year I have been kept far away from everyone. Doctor Iknom said he would come back on my birthday after having to leave town for a while. He still is not back yet. The world outside my window has become dark. There was no sun, there were no clouds, there was nothing and I didn't like it. I miss my Prince Charming, I miss the sun and the moon, and I miss hearing the people outside doing their daily business. Oh, how I miss everything that I did not have.
My hair itself brushed against my cheek today to soothe my sorrow. But even the twist and turn of its playfulness couldn't ease away the loneliness. Pushing my hair back I climbed away from the window and return myself to bed. Hopefully tomorrow would be a better day.
Placing my hands in pray position I began to pray just like Doctor teach me to.
"Please Doctor Iknom, come back. I miss you. I don't like to be alone."
Present Cryaotic
Yawning loudly after finishing another recording of the video game Fragile Dream I toss away the gamepad and removed myself from my computer table. Another long night of entertaining all those who like to follow me on my channel, I really should rethink my recording schedule. Laying myself on my bed I begin relaxing my tense shoulders and aching back. I still need to get a video ready to upload tomorrow but for now I want to rest and enjoy myself with some sleep.
Closing my eyes my mind began to dream, there was darkness all around and a chill of fear. I was standing in the middle of a town that looked to be based in the eighteen hundreds. The building was made with what seem to be stones and wood, there looked to be no glass in the windows the only way to close them was with the wooden shutters. But the thing that truly caught my attention was the tall overshadowing tower in the front of me. There was only one window and one door, the door was located under the window with many chains and locks sealing whatever was being kept inside away from all on the outside.
Staring at the window I began to hear a voice. It was small and sweet; the voice of a little girl.
'I miss you… I don't like to be alone'
"Hello is anyone up there?" I called out to the window
'I don't like to be alone'
"Hey little girl come to the window I'm down here"
'Alone…'
"Hello-" Suddenly I was staring down at a bed of brown thin blanket covering a little girl. Her hair was so long and so unnatural. Her skin a shade of sienna but pale from the many days of being locked in the tower.
Tears that seem to simmer and shine brightly like freshly polish diamonds fell from her eyes. I wonder why she was crying. Reaching my hand out to brush away some of her tears I was given a huge surprise. The young girl's eyes snapped open revealing her onyx black eyes. (Is this a dream?)
"DOCTOR IKNOM!"
"DOCTOR IKNOM!"
Shooting out of my bed I began to cough and gag at some invisible force lodge deep in my throat. It was getting harder and harder to breath. My vision was getting blurry and the rims of my view were fading into the blackness. Just when I thought I was going to black out there a relieving sensation traveling throughout my body. My throat was clearly up enough that I could breathe properly and my vision was turning back to normal. Sliding to the end of my bed I took in several deep breathes before stumbling my way to my computer table. Placing my hands on the table I allowed my body to return to normal. That was quite strange. I never had that happen before, I really must be overworking myself. Or maybe it was a strange dream. I can still see her eyes, just black as a night without the moon and the stars, and there is only one word that could describe it for what is truly was…darkness.
Checking the time on the computer I see that it's around seven thirty in the evening. It was time for me to get the Late Night with Cry and Russ video schedule up but I think I'll grab a bit to eat first. Leaving my computer table I walked out of my bedroom to the living room. My living room was simple, just a large black couch and one set of loveseat, and there was a nice long oak coffee table with a match oak entertainment stand. On the entertainment stand there was many different gaming consoles along with tons of different video games to play. On the right side of the room there was two bookcases; one had nothing but books from game art designs to old school books from English classes, the other book case was filled different types of movies DVDs the movies range action pack to romantic comedies. Some seems to be even from the early seventies.
Walking pass my living room I made my way into the kitchen but not without accidentally stepping on Excalibur's tail. Excalibur is my pet golden retriever. He didn't appreciate my weight landing his tail and he rewarded me with a surprise nip on my heel.
"Ahh…Damn it. Sorry boy." Walking in the kitchen I begun to pull out the basic ingredients for sandwich. Ham, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo and bread; can't get a better bite to eat than this.
Just when I was half way through with my sandwich I could hear my phone ringing in the distance. It was the Pokémon opening theme song. The song belonged to only one of my friends. Dropping my sandwich back on the plate, I left the counter top to rush over to couch to join my ever ringing phone.
"Hey Russell" I said as I answer the phone
"Hey Cry…Red, Scott and I are planning to stop at Mac's Gaming to pick up those two games for the Late
Night Live-stream" Russ was my oldest friends and the main one who got me into doing the late night live-streams. He and Red recently lived in Texas but relocated to Florida about five months stream was just me and my friends hanging out in a living room, relaxing with junk food and drinks. We recorded ourselves and the videogames we played for everyone around the world to watch.
"Okay great did Red send over the Live-Stream video to me yet?" I should already know the answer to it but I like to be sure. Before ever Live-stream we like to post a video up on YouTube, on what games we would be covering throughout the night. Red is the lovely woman who has stolen the heart of my best friend Russ. She's a talented artist and an amazing gamer to boot.
"….She said she did and to check your email" Yep she's always on time.
"She wanted to know if we're having pizza tonight if so who is order it?" I could hear Russ asking Red who I guess was beside him about before replying back to me.
"Yea I'll handle the food can you guys handle the drinks?"
"Yep got most of it Scott being hardheaded about getting Snake's favorite drink"
"The Poison Snake! He's still not paranoid that Snake going to give it to him again." With that Russ and I shared a laugh over the phone on what happen. Two months ago Snake gave our friend Scott a spike in his drink knowing full well that no one could handle that alcohol beverage. The end result had Scott dancing to some invisible song and making some obscene jester to Snake. We have yet to let him live it down.
"Fuck what Snake wants! He ain't getting me twice in one year." Scott screamed out into the phone. I could only imagine how he was stopping Red and Russ from finishing the shopping.
"Most likely going to have to text Snake to get his beverage himself without Scott intercepting the purchase." I replied to Russ
"Yeah I guess so. Is there anything you want from here?"
"Just the usual…I need to get things ready to record tonight plus post up the video see ya guys later. "
"Yep, see ya."
Hanging up the phone I knew it was time to get to work before the others show up. But for now it was time for me to finish my sandwich.
When the time hit ten o'clock at night most the crew-members was here to start the stream. Red and Russ was pulling at the drinks and gathering cups for everyone, Scott was staring intensely at Snake who was shaking away his glass bottle at him. We got a call that BattleStar would be joining us later in the night. I couldn't help to think this is something most friends don't always have the liberty of doing. Just hanging out, enjoying and having the chance just to be there for each other.
As the clocks aim closer to the four in the morning it was the starting time to get the Wind Down Hour started. It was at this time that my friends and I would have BattleStar receiving Skype message of questions people would like to ask us and if he approves the question he would give them a call to talk to us. It's a great way for us to get closer to our fans.
Waiting for BattleStar to get in contact with the first of the callers we sat around debating on which game we would play the that time. Seeing as it was Russ's night for the Wind Down Hour he just decided to play Day Z despites what we were saying around him.
"Okay we have the first caller her name is Eleanor" BattleStar patch in a Skype caller who had the icon of what looked to be a crystal ball.
"Hello…" Eleanor voice was low and slightly raspy with a European accent.
We each gave are greeting reply to the caller
"What are your questions Eleanor?" BattleStar questioned her bit impatiently
"I wanted to know what the last dream you had been? "
"Man I been have a crazy dream lately" Scott was the first one to reply "I was dress in these weird fantasy clothes-"
"I want to know what Cry's last dream was ?" Eleanor spoke harshly; she didn't seem to have much patient for anyone or anything.
"Woah chili out lady that's no way to talk to my friends" Red spoke out for the cold treatment Eleanor gave Scott.
Just as Red was about to go complete off on the girl the connect to the Twitch, the website that we use to host the live streams begun to flicker on and off for a while before completely disconnecting.
"I apologize for my behavior and the interruption of your live stream but Cry we both know what you dreamt about…the girl with eyes as dark as the abyss… her hair smoky black and moved most unnatural ways."
"…How did know that?" When I question the girl everyone stopped with their gesturing.
"There are many things I know and this dream you had is so much more." All around us the monitors blinked rapidly with different colors. Red to Green to Blue to White to Grey. Over and over again the colors repeated its creepy pattern.
"What's going on?"
Static filled the room making it hard to hear what anyone was saying. The noise was growing louder and more troublesome to the point that everyone was cringing away from the screens, those who wasn't already on the floor begun dropping to the ground holding their ears in painful distress. Snake crawled his way over to the wall that held most of the outlet being used for the stream, and begun to pull all the cords out. With the last of the cords in the wall pulled out the only plugs left was on the opposite side of the room from him. Turning to look back at the screens Snake, notice that the monitors were still displaying the ever changing color blank scene. Slowly the static with in the room was fading away to a dull sound. It was low enough that the Late Night Crew was able to hear Eleanor explanation.
"Two Worlds each one in trouble… she as well as you and your friends need each other…the world you know and live in is about to be destroy if you don't go and save her"
"Why should we?" "How do we know this isn't so sick joke of your?"
All at once the monitors stopped flicking and switched over to image of a tall tower. On the screen was the exact same tower from my dreams. Everything about the tower was the same as the dream even the same window that was too far for anyone to reach for it, and the same door that had many locks and chains around it. It loomed over the village it was a part of and cast such feeling of sadden.
"Why are you showing me this?"
"Like I said you and your friends need to save her if you wish to save the world you live in now"
The monitor in front of me switches over to an image of the same girl lying in bed. But now she was twisting and turning throughout her small bed with a painful expression. Staring at her face I saw her mouth moving around, she was speaking almost crying out for someone to ease her trouble mind.
"Dude what's going on?" Reaching and gripping my shoulder I heard Russ ask as my attention on the monitor moved to him.
Swallowing the lump forming in my throat, I quietly response back to him. "I don't know Russ but what I do know is that Eleanor knew about my dream before I even had the chance to tell anyone" Shrugging his hand off my shoulder I turned back to the screen. "I saw that girl in my dream calling out for someone…Seeing her now…When I left her she wasn't in pain just scared but now…Jeeze just look at her she's in pain"
Russ followed me to the screen and stared intensely at the girl. "How do we even know this dream is real or if any of this shit is real?"
"Man how else do you explain her knowledge and the fact she knew about my dream when I didn't even tell anyone else about it" Rubbing my hands over my face I turn to look at my best friend of the past few years.
" So what do you think we should do?" Russ didn't really need to ask his friend on what they should do, he knew just by the look in my eyes that we needed to do the right thing.
"Please tell me we are not going to listen to woman on internet?" Scott pleads as he and the other shuffle over to Russ and I.
"Sorry friends it looks like it" I answered honestly turning back to the screen. "What do you need us to do?"
Just as those words leftr my lips all around us the walls and ground begun to shake; like an earthquake. The bookcases that liter my living room topple over, books and games like shatter all over the place. All the equipment we use to record the live stream was being tossed and over turn through the room. Untouched pizza, left over crusts and beer bottles were being knocked over on to the ground; nothing was unaffected by the sudden quake.
The wall on the right of us where my bookcase of movie once stood was beginning to glow cyan blue with swirls of dark magenta. Light yellow lightening streaks throughout the mysterious illuminated portal. "If you truly wish to journey on and save everything you love please step through the light."
Staring at the wall I took a glance around to everyone to see how they all felt. Red was staring a head with an annoyed bored looking. Be side her Russ was clutching to her hand, he turn his head and gave me a nodded signaling that they was ready to go. Snake as always had a neutral expression, if he was shocked or surprised by the events occurring he made sure no one knew about it. BattleStar and Scott were the only one to have slightly hesitation to the event.
"Guys I need you all of you" Maybe I was asking to much from everyone but this one time I need to be selfish. I couldn't imagine doing this without everyone by my side.
"Uhh…Fine count me" BattleStar
I could tell by Scott's face that he was still hesitant with everything happening. "Nah I'll sit this adventure out maybe next tim-" Scott was quickly cut off as Snake grabbed him by the back of his shirt and hauled him into the wall portal. "SNAKE YOU DICK"
"Let's get this shit done" Snake said as he jumped through the portal as well.
Taking a deep breath BattleStar was quick to follow behind the other two. "B-star is going out"
"Come on Russ I want to see what happens" Red took a running start into a heap through the portal while dragging Russ behind her.
"Ahh wait Red!"
Taking one last look around the room I mentally proper myself for whatever lays ahead.
'I don't know what's going to happen but hopefully we'll all be alright…'
Taking a step to the portal I pause for a second before taking off to my bedroom. Reaching my room I stumble into my nightstand where the most precious thing I own laid at. Lying there was my mask the one I used for inspiration for my online avatar. Slipping the old white mask over my face I now felt ready to face this evil and save the girl.
"It's like I'm in a really Disney movie…Cool" Walking into the living I notice Excalibur was waiting by the glowing portal with his leash in his mouth. "I guess you want to come along too huh?"
Lifting his left front paw he let out a short bark. Laughing softly I place the leash on his collar "Fine only because if we need food I'm looking to you"
Gripping the leash tightly in my hands I took in a quick deep breath before jumping in with Excalibur.
"May you all travel safe journey but be warn the task at hand is a treacherous one. Creatures not from your world will block your path, trickery and lies may befall your group, and evil with try to corrupt the purest of souls. But if you have faith in your friends and those you carry deeply in your hearts lay strong you will be able to face any danger that comes your way." That speech was the last words that each member of the Late Night Crew heard as they blacked out in the portal of swirly lights and colors.
"Cry please protect her and the world."
