Hey guys!
This is a story a began a long time ago and actually did post here as Journal of a Freak: Daughter of Darkness.
Long story short...It sucked.
I have begun to redo it and add more Naruto characters into the mix and I really hope you enjoy it.
Warnings: There will be language in here! That's why it's rated T. The Naruto characters come in gradually, not immediately! Sorry for the inconvenience of that. It is a long story! It will probably take me a while to post chapters. Sorry! Also, there will probably be a bit of gore in the future.
Thanks.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the Naruto characters.
"It went that way!"
It: A Thing; a questionable item that has no meaning. Used for things with no name.
"Aww, What a cute baby! What's its name?"
"Dude, what is that? It's disgusting!"
"What is it?"
"What is it doing here?"
"Why is it here?"
It. Undefined and unnamed. Hello, I am an 'It'.
Freaks, another name for 'it.' I am a Freak, my name is Diana and this is my story.
I'm writing this so you, the normal person, can understand. There are many Freaks, as I have learned, in this world. There are five main branches of Freaks. I guess I should explain what a Freak is classified as first, Forgive me for rushing into my explanation.
To the government, Freaks are Super Human Monsters. Placed on the earth to extinguish the human race. To us, the Freaks, we are simply humans selected to preserve the natural order of things.
Two very different opinions clashing always leads to war and death, as history has shown us.
This is the story of my friends and I, we are Elemental freaks and before I start our story I will explain how a person becomes a Freak, the types of Freaks and why we are necessary for all human life to exist in 'peace'.
Before I do that, however, it is crucial you understand. We do not choose this fate. It's something you are born with and it's impossible to get rid of. It's a lot of responsibility and it takes a lot of work.
We are not gods; nor are we demons. We are people, Human Beings, chosen for a new life.
~•~
For you to understand the branches of Freaks, I need to tell you about a few people, myself included.
My name is Diana Kirby. I am an Elemental Freak and various others. I have light brown hair that comes down to my shoulders, nothing too special. I'm not tall, I'm average height, about 5'4''. I'm not really a 'dish' as some guys say. I am thin but not so thin it's ridiculous. My eyes are light blue and I've been told they change colors. That's enough about me…Let's move on.
Cody Kiser, my best friend and sister-of sorts, she is an Elemental and various others also. She's wicked smart and has a plan for just about everything! Without her, I'd be lost and hopelessly confused. She's also gorgeous! She has brown hair, similar in color to mine, that she keeps short. Her eyes are hazel but they change color often. Sometimes they will be brown and then green. She has a nice figure, she always says her hips are too big, but you are your own worst critic. Or, something like that. She's about the same height as I am. She's my best friend and I wouldn't of been able to survive this without her.
Jasper Scarlett, The sweetest girl in the world! She's just the same as Cody and I, Elemental and others. She could make just about anyone love her! She's also an amazing medic, no one could beat her! She has long brown hair that shines to where it's almost golden. Her eyes are silver and always seem to sparkle with laughter. She's shorter than most, at 4'9'', but she doesn't let it get her down! We all adore her.
Lastly, Nick sage, Where do I begin? I hate him, but that's just me. He's Cody's boyfriend and also Jasper's cousin. He's an Elemental and various, as well. There are many, many reasons why I hate him, but lets not get into that. I must admit, he's kinda cute. His brown hair is always perfectly messy and his green eyes are always stern. He is fit, muscles and all that jazz but that's enough about him.
Okay, back to the branches of Freaks. This may take a while to explain but it is important.
~•~
The first thing we'll talk about is the purity of the branches. Now, this isn't like breeding dogs or any other animal. Pure branches are when that is the Freak's main ability. There are one, maybe two, completely pure Freaks where they only have that ability. Most Freaks are all the branches mixed with various strengths. Like I said earlier, we are born with this and have no choice in our branches.
If a Freak tries to reject their branch it usually destroys their Aura, therefore, destroying them. There are some cases where they don't and create a new branch of their own. More on that later, I think we're ready to begin!
The first branch I'll tell you about will be the lowest ranking, the Mentalists.
~ •~
The Mentalists are Freaks who don't have much physical power or actual power, but their brains are more powerful than some of the weapons the government comes up with. They are the lowest class simply because they are hard to find. Normal people call them geniuses and usually leave it at that. The purest Mentalists can plot a battle plan that will never fail. Others can read minds, some can see the future and some can take over your mind. As you may have guessed, Cody is a slight Mentalist. She is able to have visions and see people Auras. That might just be her special trait, however. That's about it for the Mentalists. Any Genius is probably a Mentalist in some form.
Next branch above the Mentalist is the Aurist. These are Freaks that have mainly physical power and strength or they use others Auras against them. I am an example of this because I have the ability to wield other peoples Auras to make them do my will. It is a very long difficult process to learn how to handle the Aura without damaging it and it's a very dangerous process. The other range would be Taijutsu, the art of the empty fist-No weapons. Aurists, if they train hard enough, can be masters of combat. Usually, well trained soldiers and trained fighters are Aurists, thus they are hard to detect.
Next up are the Floras-Plant Freaks.
They are basically just plant Freaks, but they have specific rules.
The rules are simple, but it keeps them from having a higher ranking as Freaks.
They can only control certain plants, and then, with restrictions.
They have a specific plant they are bound to and with this plant they have specific healing processes. They can use all plants to use as healing devices but with their specially bound plant it is easier and more effective.
With their specially bound plant they can basically use it to create a whole lifestyle for themselves and create a living for themselves, as long as the restrictions are followed.
They cannot move a plant from it's original ground. The earth cannot be moved.
They cannot expect something out of the plant that it is not capable of.
They cannot use the plant to destroy other parts of nature.
The most important rule:
They cannot make a plant do something out of it's boundaries.
Faunas are next. They are the second most powerful group of Freaks. Not because they are more powerful than the other, No. They are second merely because of the complexity of their power.
The Faunas connect to animals.
Yeah, I know what you are thinking, 'That's so simple!'
No, No it's not.
Just like the Floras, the Faunas have rules.
A Fauna can understand and communicate with all animals but, some only talk to the species of what they are bonded to. Like the Floras they have one specific animal they are bonded to.
Say, you were bound to a lion. You would be able to talk to every member of the Feline species.
Still sound simple? Alright, Try this.
Most Faunas are able to take on certain characteristics of their bonded animals.
Examples are: Ears, Tails, claws and so on.
The strongest Faunas can completely change their appearance to that of their bonded animal.
They prefer to call their bonded animal their Spirit Animal or Spirit Guide.
Once they find their Spirit Animal. They are never apart. From that moment on you will almost never see them apart. It is as if they are only one person in two bodies.
It may sound simple to you but it almost the most complex Freak branch.
The last, official, branch-The Elementals.
This is the most complex and confusing branch. There are seven Elements and they are as follows: Darkness, Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light and Spirit.
Now, all Freaks have a longer lifespan than ordinary humans. The average Freak will live around one hundred and twenty years. Whereas, the average human lives eighty or ninety years. Elemental Freaks live around one hundred ninety years.
Most Freaks can take special stimulates to live longer but it's hard to control and easily addictive.
Anyway, The four main Elements are Earth, Fire, Air and Water. Unlike all the other Freak branches, where there can be multiples of one kind, Elemental Freaks are rare and special.
The four main Elemental Freaks are known as the protectors of all Freaks and are to keep balance. There is only one 'Protection Freak' for each 'Protecting Element' and only one for each century or so, depending on how long that Freak lives. The other can have one or more Freaks with the same Element.
The Elemental Freaks have a Spirit Animal like the Faunas but they are not exactly linked at all. They all have special abilities they call their own and they have to depend on each other to keep balance.
I guess I should also tell you about Auras and what they are.
Auras are the life forms that reside in every person-Freak or not. All things have Auras and without them all balance would be out of sync.
Oh, I forgot to mention the details of the Darkness branch.
This branch is for those that have pushed themselves into a branch different from their own…and survived.
There are also Freaks that follow those who have survived and these are the ones that the 'Protection Freaks' fight against to maintain balance.
There is one Freak out of the 'Protection Freaks' that can control all the Elements. This Freak, Is called the 'All Freak'.
And now, our story shall truly begin. We have to go back, back when I met Cody; Back when I was thirteen.
"Well, this is just great."
I dropped my bags staring at the little room in front of me. There were two bunk beds across from each other and a window with a cabinet beneath it. There was a tiny open closet beside one bunk bed and of course, the little sheet covering the 'door' to the room.
I don't know how I was talked into this camp or what I was doing here. All I knew was I was not happy.
I was the only one in the room at that time so, I chose my bed and made it and shoved my luggage under it. I stared at it before sighing again.
"Hi! My name is Cody."
I looked up and next to my bunk, where the wall ended leading to the next room, was a girl with short spiky hair and a smile.
"Hi…I'm Diana."
A year had passed and Cody got a boyfriend named Nick.
I hated Nick Sage with a passion.
Not just because I had to fill the 'best friend role,' but because there was something off about him-something I could not understand. Soon Cody was spending more and more time with him and less and less time being a silly fifteen year old. She became more serious and much more mature.
Nick left one day and went to Washington and when he came back to Oklahoma he had his cousin Jasper with him.
She was adorable and I warmed up to her quickly. She was as sweet as they come and quickly captured the heart of everyone she met.
But there was something off about her as well, something that I came to understand was part of us all.
