Now, to make sure I will not procrastinate as much, I will write a fanfic….So, technically, I'm not procrastinating but, improving my writing skills.
Summary:
A girl no older than 15 was kidnapped (?) and forced to live her life in the world of DGM, her favourite manga. Oddly, she does not seem to enjoy it one bit. On the other hand, she seemed to be rather annoyed by her favourite characters, and everything that is happening around her.
I do not own -Man. It officially belongs to Hoshino Katsura.
Though, I am borrowing her characters.
A leaf fell, followed by another.
Its flow was observed by a young individual, who was no older than 15.
With grace, the leaf landed on its companions; and was soon, swept away by the gardener.
She sighed, and closed her dull eyes for a moment. Really, even with effort to paint the ground, an insignificant being would just be swept away as if it were nothing..
A few kids passed by the area, and noticed the piles of leaves that ensured them joy. Without thinking twice, they entered the area and jumped into the piles of orange with glee, which angered the gardener.
The girl cracked a small smile. With others' happiness, there would always be a certain level of sorrow... Only the lucky would survive, she commented when she noticed one of the children had run before the gardener approached them.
She watched as the scene unfolds before her, and took note of what had happened. It was one of her uncanny habits. Useless over thinking, was what her mother told her since young.
She reached for the tea that was next to her and sipped it. Earl Grey..The taste was too strong and she quickly sat it back down, as she pinched her nose bridge. She was extra sensitive to certain taste and smell, a trait that she inherited from her mother.
"Great, now I have a headache." She mumbled to herself. "I knew I shouldn't trust anything else other than Green or Chinese tea."
'But, I suppose it was worth trying out something new,' She thought as she relaxed back into her seat and glance towards the clouds.
Her name was called, and she rose from her seat with clear reluctance. 'What is it this time?' She furrowed her eyebrows while she pulled out her hair tie, which allowed her long soft hair to cascade down her back freely.
No, she was not an ill treated young child in her home. She was also rarely requested to perform any manual labour. She was just complaining, as she was not used to being disturbed. Wait, scratch that, her daily mindless activities were being disrupted quite often recently. All because her parents decided that, she was acting odd lately.
She descended the stairs into the main hallway, where her mother was casually seated by the dining table, about 10 meters away from her, scanning through her phone.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Oh, there you are! Come here, I want to show you something!" Her mother said happily, as she motioned for her to come closer. She went over and entertained her mother; her life was casually like this. Her parents would constantly bug them(she and her siblings) to try and form a 'bond' as they're usually away, and she being the 'good' girl she was, entertained them.
They then chatted for a good hour or two, with her spilling out sounded something like this.
"So mommy, I've come to the realization that we are actually plants." She stated quite seriously.
"Stop bullshiting," Her mother said, and lightly whacked her head "What made you say that?" she then asked curiously.
"Well, think about it. What were we, before we were formed into an embryo? We have not existed yet! But the fact that we are here now, make up the fact that we are already imprinted in time!" She started off, with her mother smiling at her daughter's antics.
"So, what were we before we exist? Firstly, we must first take into consideration about how we came into existence. We were formed by two cells - sperm and ovary. And, they were mainly made through protein and vitamins that we consume that came from plants and animals! Let us just say that plants and animals had consciousness, and so, part of us was formed by plants! We are all plants! We perform cannibalism and we don't even realized it!"
There was a moment of silence until the two broke off into a fit of laughter.
"B-but seriously! Think about it!" She urged on. She knew it was odd but she enjoys cracking the minds of others. With her fellow students, she'll mentioned it in a way that will make them change their minds forever (she had convinced them that everything's fake once. Even what we see, touch, feel, and hear.)but, her mom had saw through her long ago, this was just her way of communicating. Besides, it was fun to chat like this.
Unlike before…
After dinner, she retired into her room and her expression turned nonchalant the moment she closed the door behind her. As she walk towards her bed, she grabbed a random book from her shelf, the title read, "Finding your Element". With a huff, she plopped down on the bed and started to read the book as her younger brother's cries resonated the house.
Her mother was trying to teach her brother again, as usual, the little boy was stubborn and reluctant to study. His grades were barely there, and all his teachers were complaining. Her mother had no choice but to scold or punish him as she previously did with all her children.
She remembered when she had endured the same treatment, often she would be bruised and though rarely, her flesh would be marred with black and blue. She was freed from that fate, after she transferred to a more laxed school, and started attaining excellent grades. From a method she created by herself. No matter, she told herself. He needs it until he understands that to implement different ideas (such as, not studying for survival) you would first need to learn how to please, and wedge your way from there.
'Cut them down when they least suspect it, and do not let yourself be considered the one at fault.' She thought. It was her philosophy, but she knows she's too much of a coward to follow it.. Guilt was her weakness.
She started to immerse herself within the book and drowned out her brother's cries.
After 50 pages, she threw the book to one corner and listed it as a bullshit book that managed to earn money from bullshit. Which is the equivalent to: writing a whole book about common sense with personal terms to make it look useful, though these opinions are interesting to know… It was still amusing to her that people are such intellectual creatures and idiotic at the same time. No one is a complete idiot.
She got up to return the book to its rightful place, when suddenly black surrounded her.
'What the hell?'She wanted to exclaim but found that she had lost the ability to; she began to panic and looked around. It was not completely black, just an immense thick black cloud around her. Wait, this seems familiar…
'Shit!' She realized. This was bad, VERY bad. She looked below her and her fears were true. A black portal opened beneath her.
She had seen this before, when she was only a young preschooler. A black portal...and then the ghost! (Or so she thought that thing was.)
She frantically increased her attempts to escape. 'Quick!' She screamed in her mind, 'Before that comes..!'
It was too late; a silhouette reached for her through the portal. She froze what little movements she had before.'Shitshitshitshiit' The word replayed in her mind in a mantra. Sweat prickled her skin, she didn't know what to expect but, her gut's telling her that, that was an enemy.
Its hand playfully curled around her neck, in a teasing manner. Upon contact, an immense pressure was felt on her being and she lost consciousness. She gently fell forward until she was held by the thick mist. A bare recognizable figure rose to its waistline and had a smooth once over of the female before it.
"Tsk,tsk. I had hoped that you would have matured a bit more ..since the last time we met…" The figure spoke in disappointment and shake its head,"Guess we don't really have a choice...you've passed the age limit.."It mumbled as it brought her slowly into its arms and vanished through the portal.
The atmosphere of the room returned to normal with just a lingering eerie feeling behind.
It's a bit cliché, huh?I hope its not too cliche...
However, I've been thinking of a plot similar to this for a while now. Don't worry, it IS a -Man story, this is just the prelude.
summary of prelude. A girl going about her normal daily routine and was suddenly was she kidnapped (?) Why does she knows the figure? Did she expected it to come? What does it meant by she had passed the age limit? Well, we all know where she's going... or do we?
I apologize for any grammar and spelling mistakes, and also for the lack of extensive vocabulary.
Drop a review by the way. I would greatly appreciate it. ^^ I suppose I don't mind criticism..
