Chapter One: A Breeze
'Long ago in a land entirely comprised of energy, few creatures
survived, living only off of the'
'CRAP'
'love. DAMMIT REN YOU ALWAYS RUIN MY STORIES AS THEY GET TO THE EXCITING PART'
'You type too slow. Anway I gtg LOVE YA~''
'YOU SPELLED ANYWAY WRONG. AND GET BACK HERE YOU BIT-'
I laughed as I turned off the monitor.
That charming young lady you just met was my best friend Yukii. And that snickering Ren is yours truly,
moi~
Oh how rude of me, I haven't introduced myself. I am Lishiro Ren. Freshly 16, short, artistic and blonde. Actually not blonde at all; more of a golden ray of sunshine and happiness. Yeah I went there.
I live with my grandmother, who doesn't like me all that much, and my twin brother: Ryu.
Enough about me, I know you want to read the story, so I'll get back to it.
As I leaned back in my chair to stretch my aching muscles, a breeze lazily drifted in from my open window. It ruffled my baggy t-shirt and pajama pants. I giggled at the feeling of my worn out Tee against my skin.
"Wait… I never opened my window…" I muttered to myself. As I closed it I felt a cooler breeze against the back of my neck. But this time, words came along with the chilled wind.
"A fresh spirit I see~ I shall claim you as mine before others decide to take you as their own~"
My eyes widened for a millisecond before I whipped around ready to yell at my twin brother. "RYU DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT YOU BAST-" I stopped mid-curse. In front of me was a large centipede like creature. However instead of that cute little buggy face they're supposed to have, this one had a look of hunger and lust.
It inhaled deeply, and before I knew it, had pinned me to the ground with one of its fangs. The fangs had pierced through my shoulder and wrist. All I could feel was an icy numbness slowly working its way throughout my body.
"I'm gonna die… I'm going to be killed by a centipede…" I whispered quietly.
"If you'd rather it be by a face of your own kind, be my guest." The creature hissed through its teeth. Its head seemed to shimmer for a moment, and then morphed into one of a human. Its eyes still had that unblinking hungry stare and its skin still seemed to have an exoskeleton on it.
THAT snapped me out of my trance.
I screamed and thrashed, searching for anywhere I could kick or hit. My brown eyes found a spot, and I aimed my foot. Not before saying:
"You know what my favorite ballet is?" My eyes glittered as the centi-human looked taken back.
"No and why you foolish little spirit?"
"I'd thought I'd like to let you know how it is, since you'll be seeing the Nutcracker soon."
I grinned evilly and kicked as hard as I could upward. My foot made contact and for a few seconds, nothing happened.
Then a wicked howl rang out from the human-pede.
"Don't mess with a three time soccer champ or you'll get crotch-shot within the second." Feeling triumphant I laughed and did a small victory dance. Unfortunately this monster must have a groin of steel, because he was back up in a second.
I backed into the wall trying to get away. Once again the creature lashed out at me with its fangs, but this time, all went dark.
