So, my first story to put up on Fan Fiction. I wrote the odd chapters and the evens are written by Reid Phantom.
Um, it's two OCs and this story is placed for the second Big Bang. Enjoy!
Sorry that the first Chap is so short!
CH. 1: Cartoon Heroes
Skylur opened the last cardboard box; it was full of blankets and pillows. She began to pull the bedding out until she found a pale pink shawl.
"Mom, I found it." She said, leaving the box and going to her mom's room.
Skylur's mother, Janice, had a weak immune system and was often sick. Her illness this week? The flu. She handed her blond mother the Shawl, and fluffed her pillows.
"Need anything else mother?" she asked, taking a waste bin full of tissues to be dumped.
"Oh Sky-Bird, don't take those. You'll get sick too, I'll take them out in the morning." Janice said, reaching out for the basket.
"No. We are going to kick this sickness out of the house." Skylur said, keeping the basket out of her mother's reach.
She left the room, grabbing dirty clothes and dishes as she went. She looked back at her mother. The woman, who had barely turned thirty-four, all ready looked in her fifties. Skylur originally blamed the illness, but now, that wasn't it. Her father had been a Marine, a charming young man; he was stationed across the United States and bits of Europe. It was on his last Europe trip he met Janice in Sweden. He was captivated by the blond girl who made people stop and want to talk to her about their hopes and dreams. He asked her to Elope with him, and the naive young girl did. But America didn't agree with her or the Newlyweds, Janice was diagnosed with her mystery illness and her husband began to "work late".
The young woman believed things would get better, for she was pregnant. But her husband only seemed to be gone more; he even "worked" through the birth. Things got worse, yelling, fights, and a silent baby to watch the marriage unfurl.
When Skylur turned sixteen her father said he was done pretending, he wanted a divorce. That's what landed Skylur and her mother here, in Dakota City, in this small apartment, barley big enough for two.
Skylur laced up her combat boots, she was a fan of the whole 'Military Punk' look. And took up the three small trash bags.
"Alright mom, I'm going to take out the trash and grab some groceries." She shouted, and left the apartment.
The sun had set and Skylur still didn't know her way around the city. So once she dumped the trash she got herself lost going to the nearby Vons. She ended up walking besides the shipping district, and feeling very frustrated.
"How the hell can you get lost in such a tiny freakin' city?" she asked aloud.
Of course she highly doubted she'd see anyone around at this hour. She continued to walk and found a familiar street that ran beside the apartment. She'd just have to go shopping in the morning, so Skylur headed up the street.
There was a loud bang from the end of the street, which cause Skylur to jump and stop moving. She looked down at the end of the street, smoke seemed to seep from the water, but as she looked harder she saw boat. Standing there, she gapped, the boat seemed on fire, yet no one was calling 911. Then, ka-boom. Something on the boat exploded, it sent a minor shock wave, well strong enough to knock Skylur on her back. She sat up, staring at the smoke, and couldn't believe her eyes. A large black mass rose out of the boat, and let out a screech so loud, it made Skylur let out her own little scream. With the shock way came a Gas, a Purple, Shimmering gas. She couldn't take her eyes off it and soon was breathing it in, and she began to cough and choke. It was making her eyes water and the inside of her nose sting. Her stomach felt queasy, and then she was very light headed, and fell back against the sidewalk. The last this she saw was the black mass disappearing into the ocean.
