Chapter 1
A young woman stood outside an apartment complex just on a busy street. She had just moved here all the way from Indiana, to Hellsalem's Lot in the state of New York. She was a 21-year old with long, dark brown hair that reached just the top of her thighs and had hair spilling over her shoulders, about reaching her breasts. Her bangs caressed her face, the bangs on the right side of her face being longer than the ones on the left side of her face. Hazel eyes blinked boredly behind the dark locks. She wore a simple pair of dark blue jeans that hugged her legs, a regular black t-shirt that had the words ALL HALLOW'S EVE on the front and black knee high boots on her feet. A black shoulder purse was just laying over her shoulder.
She brought out her phone from her pocket, checking the time once again. It was almost noon, which meant her new friend and roommate should be here really soon. Shell already had her stuff upstairs on the forth floor, which hadn't been much. The apartment already had furniture, which had been cleaned by the previous tenets. Shell was glad that she and her new friend didn't have to buy any furniture.
She glanced around, seeing the different beings that walked amongst the humans. Like it was an everyday thing. Well, it had been, since three years ago. The New York Apocalypse, an event in which New York city had been flattened and was now surrounded by a thick, mushroom like fog. Planes were very rare now since the fog was so thick and even so, it would be extremely difficult for planes to even see their way through the fog.
Ever since that day, the Otherworld, or Alterworld beings now roamed the city and were separating to go to different places on the earth. Some were scary, some were friendly and some were just weird looking.
Being a human with an innate ability to attract the supernatural and being in Hellsalem's Lot, one would think that it would all be a bad idea.
Not really.
The Alterworld beings would stop and look at her as Shell stood there, but none of them said or did anything, so they went on their merry way. Shell didn't mind. She was used to it by now. It was something she couldn't control and something she had since she was a baby. Being over sensitive to the supernatural was bad at that age, but after years of controlling it, she had it to near perfection.
Shell brought out her phone and checked the time. It was ten minutes after noon. She had meant for the two to meet by noon. Ten minutes late wasn't bad. She then glanced up as a somewhat big, dark red four door truck pulled just up to the sidewalk next to her. She smiled and walked over, watching the driver turn the vehicle off and get out.
"Hey you! It's finally nice to see you!" The driver grinned.
The driver was Trinity, a 22-year old who was going to be going to college here in Hellsalem's Lot. She had very short black hair with the longest of her bangs flowing over to the left side of her face and small bangs framing the right side of her face. Her eyes were a light blue color. She wore a pair of black skinny jeans, a red tank top and a black leather jacket with comfortable sneakers on her feet. The thing about Trinity was, that her breasts were very small. Almost not even noticeable under her tank top, which gave most people the idea that she was a guy.
Trinity hated it, but at the same time, she could make jokes out of it.
"Hey, welcome to Hellsalem's Lot." Shell said, letting out an 'oof' sound when Trinity hugged her. Shell chuckled and patted her head and back as she hugged her back. "It's finally nice to see you in person."
"Yeah! Man, that was a drive...how was the drive for you?" Trinity asked, pulling out of the hug after a few moments.
"Not too bad." Shell replied. "I'll grab a trolley and we'll get your things inside."
Trinity started grabbing things out of the back of her truck and put them on the trolley once Shell came back outside with the trolley. With both girls helping, they were able to get all of Trinity's stuff on the trolley. The two went inside and to the elevator. They went up to the third floor and to the new place they called home.
"Ready to see it?" Shell grinned a bit as she held up her key for the apartment.
"Hell yeah." Trinity grinned right back.
Shell unlocked the apartment and opened the door, walking inside with Trinity and pulling the trolley inside. Upon looking around, the apartment was HUGE. The living room and kitchen were all one big room. All the furniture had been left, though it had been cleaned properly by the previous tenets. Even the stove and fridge were clean. The place where the TV would sit was empty, but a stand was left for them. The dining table with 8 chairs (who needs 8 chairs?) was also polished and cleaned. There was plenty of cabinet and storage space in the kitchen, along with the closet in the left hand corner of the living room.
"Wow...they really cleaned this place." Shell said, surprised.
Trinity nodded in agreement and noted that even the carpet in the living room and the tile in the kitchen was cleaned. Shell went out to the balcony, seeing a round counter top and a small table with four chairs on either side. The balcony overlooked Hellsalem's Lot.
Trinity searched the rest of the apartment, finding a clean, empty storage room. The laundry room was empty as well, but it was clean and even the washer and dryer looked brand new. She checked the bathrooms as well, seeing all of them cleaned. They just needed decorations and supplies in them. The bedrooms were HUGE. Both were cleaned and had queen-sized beds, a large rug, a couch, a closet and dresser and a full body mirror.
Trinity whistled. She was really impressed.
"Let's leave our stuff here for now and go shopping." Shell said as she came to the hallway. "We're gonna need a LOT of shit."
"Oh yeah. I looooovvveeeeee shopping." Trinity said sarcastically, causing both girls to chuckle. It was just a little after October. The girls grabbed their bags and headed out. Hellsalem's Lot had a very big retail store, almost like Wal-Mart, but had things for the Alterworld beings as well. As they shopped, they saw Alterworld beings getting things for themselves. Neither of the girls said anything, only wanting to shop for their things.
In all, both girls spent over 600 dollars just on stuff for the apartment and for themselves. For the night and the next, they spent the day and night putting things together. By Friday, the girls planned to go out for the day and explore around Hellsalem's Lot. When Friday came along, the girls spent most of the afternoon exploring and buying small things. Shell collected swords and POP figurines, while Trinity collected pins.
"Today has been pretty good." Trinity grinned as her and Shell walked out of a game store.
"Yeah." Shell said with a soft smile.
The girls walked down the street, trying to decide on a place to eat. Shell twitched as her 'danger' sense went off and she frowned.
"What's up?" Trinity asked.
"Something feels-."
Before Shell could finish, the building next to them exploded from the inside, causing debris and dust to rush towards them. The girls were thrown to the other side of the street, both of them yelping from the pain of hitting the hard cement. Shell gritted her teeth in pain and attempted to get up, then gasped as she felt pain erupt in her left side. She looked down and saw a long, deep gash starting from her left side and going up her back a bit. "T-Trinity?"
"O-ow, I'm okay...my arm hurts like a bitch though." Trinity hissed and looked down at her arm. She had a deep gash on her bicep. "What the hell was that?"
"I don't know..." Shell looked around, seeing other people laying around. They were hurt as well, but not as bad as the girls. She froze as a tall and huge shadow loomed over the girls.
"Well well, I thought I smelled something...you girls smell goooood." A male, distorted voice spoke. Laughter came right after the sentence.
Both girls looked up at the Alterworld being that was standing over them. It was about three times as big as them and had green, sickly skin and no ears, but large round eyes and a huge mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth. It laughed at the wounded humans.
"Oh shit." Trinity whispered.
The Alterworld being reached down to grab the girls up for his dinner, but then he was startled by something and looked behind him. Suddenly, both girls felt arms grabbing up both of them and jumping away. They yelped and were put down safely on the other side of the street away from the Alterworld being.
"Are you two alright?" a deep, kind and male voice asked them.
Both girls looked up and saw the tall, towering man in front of them. He was VERY tall, probably pushing seven feet at least. He had spiky, but short red hair and odd sideburns that made him look similar to Xaldin from Kingdom Hearts. He wore glasses over his deep green eyes and wore a pair of black dress pants, a white long sleeved buttoned up shirt with a black vest over it, a red tie and black dress shoes. The most bizarre thing about him was that distinctive under bite he had.
"Y-yeah, I think so." Trinity nodded, a bit shakily. "A little beat up."
"Chief! Get your ass over here! This thing is fuckin' swinging a massive blade!" Another male shouted.
"Stay here." The red-haired man said and leaped into the battle against the Alterworld being. "Brain Grid Battle Blood Style, Pattern 13: Finger Greed!" He shouted his attack and almost too fast for the girls to watch, he did a series of blows against the being. As soon as they landed, crosses began to appear on the inside of it's skin, beginning to burn it.
The Alterworld being roared and swiped at the red-haired man, but he dodged before he could be hit. The girls watched as the being was quickly burned from the inside, causing it to fall with a large thud. It was quickly turned to ash.
"Whoa..." Shell whispered in awe.
"That was fucking awesome." Trinity said, laughing a bit as she stood up, helping Shell up.
"Ah!" Shell groaned and looked at her side, which was still bleeding. It also looked infected already. "I-I think we need to...to..."
"H-hey! Shell?!" Trinity exclaimed as her brunette friend slumped against her, her body going limp. Trinity struggled to keep Shell from hitting the ground. "C'mon, don't do this to me!"
"Whoa there, need some help lady?"
Trinity glanced over and saw a tall, lanky man with longish white hair and darker skin. He wore white pants, a black muscle shirt and a white jacket over it and shoes. Trinity nodded and the guy scowled. "Not you! The girl you're holding!"
Trinity's eyes widened and then narrowed in anger. "I'M A GIRL, YA DICK!"
Before the white-haired man could even speak, Trinity's foot came up and caught him right between the legs. He let out a high-pitched cry of pain and fell to the ground, his body curling up. Trinity huffed and attempted to get Shell on her back, but had trouble.
The same, red-haired man came over. "Let us help. We can assure your friend's safety. You also need to get your arm looked at."
Trinity didn't take long to think. She nodded and handed Shell over to the large man, who easily brought her into his arms. "Zapp, let's go."
"S-she kicked me, chief!" The white-haired man groaned, rubbing his groin. He glared harshly at Trinity.
The red-haired man said nothing to that and headed to the car. The white-haired man huffed and followed after him, followed by Trinity. Who the hell are these people? They have strange powers...maybe they're Alterworld beings? I don't think so...these two don't give off any 'inhuman' vibes. Trinity thought, holding her arm.
As she got closer to the car, she noticed an older man who's face was wrapped in bandages driving the car. "To the hospital, Gilbert." The red-haired man spoke as he got in the car, setting Shell down gently. Trinity got in and once she and the white-haired man were in, the driver 'Gilbert' drove off to the hospital.
