W00t! This has been sitting here on my computer forever! Sooo, that being said, I have had it all prewritten for about two months. I may just rewrite this. I just may. The wonderful thing known as the Hills Have Eyes is not mine. 'Cause if it was, Pluto and Goggle would be in it a lot more!
I was never accepted, not even by what most normal people would call 'freaks.' We weren't. It was like all of the storybook tellings and lessons that people learned and manners were all gone. They had been told not to judge a book by it's cover, and I knew it. Yet they put that aside and hated us for our looks. It made us hate everyone but ourselves, and I was fine with that.
They wanted me to come here. So I did. They wanted me to live with their little family, so I did. They constantly reminded me that I wasn't one of them. Not of their little family, at least. I was, after all, from a different one.
I was thinking this over as I walked through the little town in the desert.
Today marked me being here for a week.
I remembered when I first got here. I walked into a two story, light blue house. Then again, there are a lot of two story, light blue houses here. I mean the one with all the manikins around it. Oh wait. They all have those too. Well, I went into a house, okay? I went into that house, just like I was told. I met a guy with long black and gray hair and a beard at the door. He looked normal, just like the people we were used to killing, but apparently he was the leader of the little clan that that my old one told me to join. He said that I would be staying in this house. I liked it. He didn't have too much time to talk because he had other stuff to do. I could get introduced to the others on my own time.
I was walking through the old house, checking it out. The only problem with it for me was that it was overcrowded with manikins. I had an idea. Since they were placed around like living people, why not make this display more realistic by showing them what death is like?
I hauled the manikins three at a time into the attic, and found some rope, nails, and a hammer. I hammered the nails into a broken window frame up there. Then I tied pieces of rope to them, then the necks of the manikins to the other side. I lightly dropped them out the window, and looked down to see my pleasant hanging display. I had even arranged them to look dead and like their necks were broken. I slid the last one out the window, and the nail slipped out, sending it to the ground.
"Ow!" I heard from out there. I looked down to see a man about mid twenties to mid thirties fallen back, with a fallen and broken manikin in his lap.
"Sorry about that!" I called down. He looked up, and I could see that he had grayish sun bleached hair, a severe cleft lip on his left side, and blue eyes. He was wearing a cloth vest and light brown pants.
" Who are ya?" He called.
"I'm that new person," I replied. It was true, I was. "I got sent here from Hades' clan. Y'know, Jupiter said he would at least tell you something about me."
"Yeah, I think I know there's a new girl around here," He said with a nasty tone. I tied three quick rope knots around a remaining nail, and slipped down. I landed in front of him, and was right in his face when I stood up.
"Name's Edit," I stated. "New person in this clan."
"I'm Lizard. Didn't Hades kick ya out or something?" He asked.
"Yeah. Nobody really liked me much there."
"Meaning we probably won't here," Lizard said. He didn't seem like a very nice person. Someone that some regular girls would go gaga over, but still mean. "Even if they call you part of our clan, you really aren't."
"Yeah, I figured that." I said, and Lizard looked over around the corner of the house.
"Pluto, stop acting like an idiot!" He yelled around it. A loud grunt followed from somewhere I couldn't see. Then a large man, around maybe thirty to forty came forward. He had some noticeable deformities, only one eye, and was missing some teeth. He had light wisps of white hair, and wore a long sleeved green wool shirt and brown pants. He looked down at me and laughed with a dumb expression.
"What's so funny?" I calmly asked. He immediately looked back up and stopped laughing. He looked over at Lizard.
"This is Pluto. Don't mind him. He's not the smartest person alive," Lizard said with a hopeless expression. Pluto looked mad now, and stomped off.
He seemed like some kind of little kid in an adult's body. I'll have to remember that.
"Well, if your going to get acquainted with everyone, I best be the one to introduce you," he said, walking off and motioning me to follow.
He introduced me to some people that it would be best that I knew, then I spent the rest of the week in my house.
