Prologue: Great Parents you turned out to be…
Bring me to Wonderland
... July 14, 2010
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLIVER!"
Everybody clapped heartily with smiles of joy and jubilant laughter. The babies cooed and mothers chuckled at the astonished boy who was practically leaning over the small yet extravagant double-layered chocolate cake. His eyes gleamed with excitement and mischief as he proceeded to blow out his candle in the shape of a number 9, a few silently chuckling adults spotted droplets of spit sprinkle on to the many layers of frosting yet they didn't bother telling anyone.
The blonde boy named Oliver gave a toothy grin to everyone and announced: "I wish that one day I'll get to toilet paper Mr. Barons house like what Joseph did the other day!"
One side of the house had gasped or muttered angrily and then the latter laughed hysterically with tears in their eyes. The small blonde laughed embarrassingly as the people who thought that it wasn't funny at all gave him looks of apprehension, and turned is head to the side quickly. Confetti littered the floor with gleams of colors and shapes, and streams of paper were decorated elaborately around the small house like snakes coiling around shades, furniture, and chairs.
It seemed as if it was only yesterday when the French boy was just learning how to walk and talk, but then when you least expect it he'll already be graduating high-school and breezing through college. It was true that time stopped for no one, and that definitely applied to the birthday boy himself.
"Look at my little man! You'll grow up to be a handsome and smart and-"– "Lilah not now," interrupted a tall green-eyed man, and chuckled at his wife in front of him. "You can save all of that stuff for later when everyone's gone or until we clean up."
Lilah ruffled her son's hair, making it messier than ever as the 'little man' pouted. "It's amazing how fast you're growing up, and sooner or later I and daddy could be seeing your wife!" Oliver scrunched up his nose as if he smelled something sour. "As if!" he retorted back hotly. Mr. Blanchard sighed softly and a small smile grabbed at him. "Hey Aden, do you mind if you could take a picture of me and my family together?"
Five minutes later the three were posing in front of the 2006 silver Nikon Aden had been generously taking for them. He brought up his fingers and started to count down. Lilah scrambled to fix her hair and straighten her clothes while the other two were already smiling. "Smile you three!"
After the shutter sound Oliver scrambled over to the camera to see if he looked fine. "Aw, this one's a keeper David! I'm putting this one straight into the album! Thank you very much Aden." Aden nodded his head and started talking to the next door neighbors a few feet away.
David (Oliver's father for you guys who don't know) held up the picture and admired it. "You're right this really is a keeper." Oliver saw his father pocket the camera. "I'm going to put this in the album as soon as we can change this, so be patient," David said as he saw his son's face turning into a frown. "Once it's changed you can look at it all you like, so how about it?" He putted a comical face on and brought his hands up for a handshake, and much to his delight Oliver laughed and took it. He reached to his son's level and gave him a hug. "Happy Birthday Oliver, me and mommy love you very much," he whispered to him and to which Oliver gave a toothy grin back. "I know Daddy, I also love you guy's very-
"OLIVER GET UP YOUR LAZY ASS AND EAT THE BREAKFAST I GODAMN COOKED FOR YOU!"
The blonde jolted when he heard the angry voice suddenly yell out to the entire house. He accidentally dropped the picture he was examining to the floor that was apparently took from his ninth birthday and hurriedly picked it up. Gently folding it and inserting it into his back pocket, he stood up and brushed himself of.
The tall boy never knew that this thing had been stowed away in his closet, which god forbids what could have been there as he found an uneaten pizza, a week old plate of green goo, and dare he say a small patch of mushrooms on the corner? The seven year old photo was a hidden gem amongst all of the junk that was jammed in there hurriedly when he's forced to clean his room.
"OLIVANDER J. BLANCHARD IF YOU DO NOT SITUATE YOUR DUMB-ASS DOWN THIS SEAT YOU WILL BE F*CKING GROUNDED FOR THE NEXT DAYS!"
This time, he heard a glass shatter with the booming yell of his oh so dear mother of his from the kitchen.
Oliver gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to yell obscene words back, but contained his anger and thrust a middle finger over to the direction of the voice. He briskly walked towards his door and flung it open. As he ran down the flight of stairs, he couldn't stop to wonder what had happened for his parents to turn out like this. Did he do something wrong when he was littler? He narrowed his amber eyes and scoffed, putting the thought in the back of his mind to never think of again for a while.
"Some great parents you turned out to be…."
…..
Damn this is one helluva prologue! 938 words up to count, I seriously didn't expect to write this much for just an intro! But at least I'm able to give you guys a taste of my writing.
ALRIGHTY THEN! Well if you haven't noticed, I'm going to try and make another SYOC that hopefully I WON'T discontinue, so I planned out this story for months before carefully writing out the characters, settings, and plot. So yeah, I most likely won't discontinue since I already have everything planned out, so hurrah! Although I might be posting at very late or regular intervals because…
I have to help out with the family business so that already eats my time
I need to study for my midterms
I HAVE A LIFE! I mean I would crank up these updates faster if I didn't have one but I do so you guys will have to be a little patient
So yeah, sorry if I sounded mean ;C
OK, so my plot for this story is rather…unique for this archive. So I have been watching the series 'Once upon a Time' for a while (You guys should watch it too, it's pretty neat :D) and the all of the characters were from a different world but yet they're forced to live in Earth, so they have no recollection of their world and are forced to live between the two of them. And that got my brain grinding. "What if I make a story in the HOTD Archive and make a similar situation with the OC'S? They can live out their normal lives at day, but yet one day when they go to sleep they go to this nightmarish place where they need to battle zeds and monster and stuff?" So this idea was born.
So basically people who are selfish, not content with life, have a haunting past, a thug, or anything that falls into this criteria are one night transported to a different world were you must fight for survival. When they fall asleep at night they would be immediatley transported there with no way of getting out.
People who are transported there must fight until 6:00 a.m. until they wake up, and people who die in the dream will die in real life. Weapons will be very scarce and it will be considered lucky if you find another unfortunate being stuck in the nightmarish place.
Survivors will have no recollection of who they meet in the dream and will not recognize them in real life.
They will have to fight flesh eating zombies, nightmarish monsters, crazies, and perhaps themselves
This will be a lot to take in so read it carefully! So for the OC APP, I will need OC'S who are selfish, unsatisfied with life, a criminal, someone cheating on their husband/wife, life problem, or anything similar that falls into the criteria, so yes folks your Oc's MUST BE SOMETHNG SIMILAR FROM THE ABOVE OR ETC.! But at the same time give them some good qualities also.
OC'S ARE DUE ON JAN.7! THAT'S PLENTY OF TIME! So here's the App forum!
I expect no Gary/Mary Sue's or something similar. I also want in PM FORUM please; no review forums or I won't accept it. Have fun :D
