Afterlife.
Prologue.
We stood in a line, watching our enemies. A figure, obscured by a dark robe, laughed. The deep voice that emanated from the confines of the robe echoed loudly through the mountain air.
"You are stupid to think you all have a chance against us," he boomed. I smiled grimly, and took a step forward.
"I will stand against the decree of the ancients," I said. A collective gasp was heard amongst the opposing side. Naruko and Kiba stepped forward aswell. Then Sai, Ino, Shika and Talia did too.
"We stand against the decree of the ancients," they said in unison. The robed man laughed, but it was eerie.
"You cannot hurt us. No matter how brave you think you are being, you are all still human. Under your human laws, we cannot be harmed. It is considered murder is it not?" he asked.
"Our human laws do not prevent us from killing you," said Naruko, "for you have over looked one little thing. The law is that we shall not kill another human being, for the penalty would be death. However, you do not come under the category of 'human' so your point has been rendered useless." I smiled. My sister was always the smart one in the family.
"You are clever, young one ... I think that you would be a great asset to our ranks..." I waited patiently for the reply of my sister. She was calculating. I could see it from the way she stared ahead of her.
A sudden fear swept through my mind. What if Naruko decided to join them? I know she would never do that to me, but extreme circumstances call for extreme measures. What if she was more concerned about her own safety, than the rest of ours? Maybe she thought it would be ok, because she would have someone by her side, even if the rest of us died hear. would she do that to me? To us? Could she do that to us?
But my fear was unnecessary. "I would rather kill myself a thousand times over than join you!" she spat. A sigh was heard from the man.
"Then you leave me no choice, young one. You will just have to go..." A battle cry was heard, and then I was running... Running towards my destiny.
