(This is the first of three fanfic stories that I've written about my
character, Stride. This is my first one, so please be kind, oh, and do
give me some comments and constructive criticism as well, thank you and
enjoy!)
Perfect Night
I had a family, and we took care of each other. I had a wife named Julia, she had looks to die for, and a temper to match. My son, Jacob, was a real card...Just like his old man, he always tried to help me bring in firewood, he didn't get much done, but hey, he tried, right? Last, was my little girl, Kirstin, she was sweetest thing in the world; she talked a lot, and was very stand offish sometimes, that was her though, but although she was adopted, she fit right in.
Thats my...er...was my family. Because one day, my endless nightmare started. The week my life was ruined, there had been frequent visits from these strange wolf fellas, they constantly looked around the village for something, and I was constantly being eyed by em'. We didn't find out what they were looking for until later...
You see, they were checking to see who in the village might hinder their plan, *sigh* as it turns out, I was the only one strong enough to do anything, and in the game they were playing, numbers always win. You could just tell something was wrong that night, it was too quiet. That, and the fact that there were three wolves staring in my window didn't bode well either.
I reached under my cot and grabbed my brass knuckles, never thought I was going to have to use these again. It was gonna be a long night...I woke up my family and rushed them to the back of the house. I left them with one of my new self defense inventions...It was called pepper spray; it generally scalded the victim with acid.
Thinking they were able to defend themselves, I rushed outside, only to get jumped on by three of those idiot wolf men. Of course, they didn't know who I was...That made things much easier. I easily picked two up by their necks and slammed them into the ground. The third went into a fighting stance, huh, he wasn't going down easy I see...good. The jerk tried to punch me in the face, I easily moved out of the way and gave him a special of my own, I punched his face in with a quick jab to the nose.
Three down...330 more to go. I was able to keep fighting for a while...I think I was at number 127 before they finally stopped me, or should I say, "he" stopped me. The creep showed up behind me just as I had polished off another soldier, when I turned around, I was met with a powerful energy blast to the chest, so powerful, that it knocked me out for a while.
I had a wonderful dream that night, my entire family and I had built our dream house out on the beach...It was great, we had agreed to live on the beach once we got enough money. Reality, however, had different plans. There he was, grinning his toothy grin at me...with...He had my family! He was gonna kill them all in front of me! I begged him to take me instead, that I would serve them for the rest of my life, as long as they spared my family...It was a no go...Wait...was I seeing this correctly? The rest of the men were hiding in their houses! Watching the wolves burn down everything!
Watching in fear as my family...was...slaughtered, torn limb from limb, right in front of my eyes...The cowards saw it all, and never made a move...They slaughtered all of my family...except...one...My daughter somehow escaped...good, at least one of them got away. The wolf grinned at me; he said that if I ever wanted to get revenge, that I should go someplace called SVT City...
They let me go, but I didn't care, I simply stared at the remains of my family, I don't know how long I stared, it felt like forever though...I must've dozed off...Another dream...Not as pretty though...He killed them over and over again...I heard their screams over and over...My son begging me to stop them...For once in my life, I broke a promise...I swore to defend my wife, son and daughter, that I would protect them...I failed...I later woke up chained to two trees.
I was on trial...The cowards said that I failed to defend my village...The cowards said that I failed...The only one that was fighting...The only one who ever tried to defend out village!
*Destroy them.*
What? I could never-
*Do it!*
Who are you?! Why are you in my head!?
*I'm here to do what you never could...*
What's that?
*To destroy the cowards.*
While that short exchange went on in my head, I missed the part where the cowards decided to exile me from the village. I missed the part where my daughter said "I" to the vote of kicking me out of the village forever. As I walked out, they all threw rocks at me and shunned me...My daughter included...I left without a word...
*If you don't do it...I'll do it for you.*
Who are you?!
*Call me the Void*
