A Battle Inside Me
I look up to the sound of shouts and I rush to young Rosie's side. She clings to me and cries,"What's going on sissy?" "I do not know, dear one. Go find Eve and Thalia, will you?" She nods and scampers away towards the river where my best friends work. In less than a minute, all three girls are by my side and we rush into the village where we live. We all gasp. The entire village is in ruins, I cannot see any one of the village people, and the streets are crawling with serpentine.
A few of the slithering idiots see us and cry out. I get into a protective stance in front of Rosie as the snake-heads rush towards us. In a few short moments, battle is joined as we fight to protect each other and our lives. However, I hear a sharp cry issue from one of my dear friends and I turn to see the constrictai general holding onto a squirming Thalia.
"Surrender, or I sssshall ssssqueeze her to death!" the blipping a-hole hisses triumphantly. Eve and I immediately put both hands in the air and Rosie runs to hide behind me. Pythor steps up to face me. "You are very sssstrong for a child," he notes. I nod briskly and say, "Thanks, but I'm not easily buttered up snake-face. What do you want?" "Nothing… from you alone, anywayssss," he says nonchalantly. His eyes wander to half-hidden Rosie. "Hellooooo, little one," he says, bending down to be In direct eyesight with her. "Don't touch her, pythor," I say rather harshly. "Now, now, Don't let ussss forget our mannerssss," Pythor hisses, spitting in my face.
I, very slowly and deliberately, put my hands down, wipe my face off, and hawk a luigi at his staff. All of the snakes gasp and look at Pythor with almost frightened expressions. His face betrays many emotions. Shock, ferociousness, fear, anger, but most of all, downright fury, capital F.U.R.Y at my action. I shake my long golden hair out of my tropical blue eyes in rebellion and I stare at Pythor, avoiding his eyes while daring him to say something. And he does say something. But not what I'm expecting. "NINJASSSSS! DESSSTROY THEM!" I hear a clatter behind me. I turn to see a flash of red, then something hits my head and I black out.
I awake to the sound of several people talking over me. "When do you think she'll wake up?" an anxious voice asks. "Relax, Zane. She took a bad blow to the head. You can't really blame that one on her," a more soothing voice says. "Patience. She shall awaken in her own time," another voice says, this one sounding older. I open my eyes and take in the strange group assembled before me. There are five ninjas, white, red, black, blue and green, an old guy , and a black-haired girl about my age (16). The black ninja stands up and says," Sweet! You're awake! Welcome to the bounty!"
A/N: I've got a cookie question! And if you get it right, ill put any OC you want into the story! Okay, the question is…. Who was the anxious voice that was worried about our main character, Kiara? (::) (::)
Okay, so here's the deal. I can only get onto my account and update every few weeks, because I have to use either a friend's or the library's computers, so don't get snappy if I don't update a lot. I will promise right now that when I do update, I will compensate for lost time by making the chapters long. I will try to take in account your ideas, but I usually try to preplan my chapters on paper, so if you do present an idea, try to think about the chapter after the next. Thank you for simply being interested in my story! Plz R&R! No flames, but constructive criticism is always always ALWAYS accepted! Adios, mi amigos and amigirls!
