I was watching the movie and this just came to me, since I was in a mood to write in certain characters into stories!
Enjoy!
Precious Gift
Red lights flashed through the hallways of a laboratory as soldiers ran through them, a siren blaring, signifying an emergency. A dark figure was spotted by one and he pointed his rifle at it.
"Freeze!" A/N: Does anyone in anything follow that command? lol
But the figure just turned and ran, much faster than the soldier anticipated, so he had to sprint to try and keep his target in sight, let alone within range. When he'd lost sight of the target, he reported to his superior.
"Sir, the target was heading for the edge of the premises!"
"You didn't try to shoot it?!"
"But our orders were to capture the target unharmed!"
"It won't matter if we can't catch it! Aim for a leg shot if you need to! It cannot escape!"
"Yes, sir!"
Out the exit to the building and the figure froze. It was surrounded by soldiers, ready to fire. The leader of the group stepped forward.
"Experiment 1384, if you give up without a fight, then we won't harm you. I'll give you to the count of ten to decide."
I don't want to die, but I don't want to go back to where I've lived all my life. I wish everything would just fade away and I would be somewhere completely different.
Before he even started to count, time seemed to freeze, and a figure in a black cloak fluttering in a wind that hadn't been blowing before appeared.
"Yes, let everything fade away…"
A pair of turquoise eyes widened at the sight, surprised.
"Let this sad world…let everything fade away."
Memories of pain and fear flashed through the figure's head, as long, deep yellow tresses undulated into the breeze.
"Come, my kindred spirit. From the world beyond…come join me."
Light came upon the sickly-pale skin and toned body, barely covered by a spaghetti-strap black dress that fluttered.
"My Chosen One."
"Who? Me?" a soft, female voice asked.
"You are the half of my soul that completes me. You will give me what I desire when we meet. To our world, Gaea…" The cloaked figure reached out a hand, palm up. "…I bid you welcome, Chosen One."
Darkness covered the area and the girl looked around. Her long gold cat tail and ears twitched, eyes watching in wonder. She looked back towards the cloaked figure who suddenly vanished, and water appeared just as unexpectedly, rising up around her. She sank and all went dark.
Has my wish of being saved from this torment come true? Will I go to someone who actually cares about me?
This scene is definitely recognizable, right? I did that on purpose, and I hope you thought it was good!
The OC doesn't have a name yet, but it will be revealed soon!
