Chapter 1: Nightmares and Sunrises
She woke with a start.
She sat upright, her tank top stuck to her body, which was covered in a cold sweat.
Her lean body shook from the aftershock of the dream. Her brown hair was in knots and tears leaked from her dark brown eyes.
Images still flashed in her mind's eye. Images of a dead world, of dead women and their deceased new born babes and of the one baby who had a chance of a life; an umbilical cord wrapped around its neck.
Her dogs whined at the end of her bed. One was a Doberman pincher named Night and the other was a wolf/ husky mixed named Samantha (Sam for short).
They licked her right hand and she patted their heads.
After a few minutes from the after math of her dream, Nova stood, shakily, and walked to the bathroom. She started the shower on cold then gradually made it warmer.
'Gods, I hate that dream.' She thought as one last image flashed in her mind. 'But it obviously means something in my life. Maybe, it was my home planet?'
She gasped and clutched her left shoulder. She glared at the faint blue hand print that she received from that strange woman a year ago. 'And that was when the dreams started.'
After ten minutes she got out of the shower and changed into a black sports bra and black sweats.
Nova walked out into the cool breeze and her dog's right behind her.
The barn house loomed in the pre-dawn a few kilometers in front of the main house. It was still night out, but dawn was just an hour or two away.
Nova opened the doors to the barn house and walked over to her stallion named Shadow. She patted his head then walked down a little further to her mare, Sahara.
Nova opened their stable doors and let them run out to the meadow in the forest.
She then turned her attention to the heavy metal doors in the corner. A rumble erupted from the other side of them. Her dogs backed away from them and then decided to run after the horses.
Nova smiled in satisfaction.
"So, you are hungry." She said to the doors. Another rumble occurred.
Nova walked over to the doors and slid the lock out of place and stepped back.
A large animal emerged from the doors and stretched its cramped muscles. He was a large Hellhound, even for his kind.
Nova knelt down on one knee, to show respect to the Hellhound. He growled his appreciation and put his nose in her awaiting hand.
She smiled and started petting him. "You do know that the sun is going to come up and that you'll only have an hour or two to stay out. I'm sorry that I didn't get here sooner." He licked her cheek and she smiled again.
"Ok. Let's go Hell!" Nova said running out of the barn house with Hell right after her.
They ran thought the forest, dodging each other and practicing their fighting skills on each other. Hell, as often as he could, would catch a few small pray.
All of a sudden Nova felt something was wrong in the direction of her home and spun around to run back to her home with Hell right behind her.
Nova contacted Hell telepathically.
'You felt them to?' Hell asked.
'Them? Not really. Just a feeling that I have to get home.' She replied, 'But, you said them. Do you know who is it?'
'You will find out soon enough.' Hell replied.
When they were within a few feet of the house Nova slowed and leapt in to a nearby tree while Hell slunk into the shadows below.
There were men in black and silver armor, rummaging through her house. Hell and Nova growled their disapproval of some unknown stranger going through their stuff.
Nova contacted Hell telepathically again and said 'Ok, I'll take the five on the right and you can take the three on the left.'
Hell growled back, 'No way, I'll take the soldiers on the right you can take the rest. I need the practice.'
'Ugh… fine!' she mumbled.
Hell and Nova burst out of the forest and tackled the first few soldiers that happened to be pacing on the porch. But, no matter how well of fighters they were; and although they took out half of them, but the soldiers eventually overcame them.
"OK men; take her to the main armada. And put the freak of a dog in the hold." A man said with a weird looking Mohawk.
Hell growled as the men put him into a metal cage. Nova looked over at Hell and noticed that the sun was coming up.
"WAIT! My Hellhound! He'll die! Please, put him in a wood crate, if anything!" Nova freaked.
"Why should we do what you want?" asked Mohawk man.
"Cus' it will make your trip a lot easier. Trust me, you have no idea how much of a pain in the ass I can be. But you wouldn't want that now would you." Nova said with a cocky smile.
Mohawk man motioned to three men and they put wood boards over the metal bars.
Nova smiled in satisfaction.
Mohawk man walked over to her and said in a threatening/ smart-ass voice, "Don't get used to getting your way! Because it will not happen again!"
Nova snorted. 'Whatever.' she thought. Hell snickered and in turn made the solders, even Mohawk man, uneasy.
~Main Armada~
Nova looked around and saw most of the villagers and some of the council members from her town.
'It looks like they are rounding up the people from this planet' She thought to herself.
Nova saw her close and only friend, Linda, and contacted her telepathically.
Linda felt some one tapping into her mind and she heard a sharp, 'Linda!' and knew it was Nova.
'Can't you contact me a little less loudly?' Linda asked.
'No! Now, what the hell is going on here?' Nova asked.
'No one really knows. They say that they are the Necromongers. You know the one's I've been telling you about.' Linda said.
'Hummm…,'
'What are you thinking about?' Linda wondered.
'Nothing.' Nova severed the contact between them.
Just then a white haired Necromonger with a metal looking Mohawk walked in and he introduced himself as the Purifier.
He started talking about how scared he was to first become a Necromonger, how the Necromongers had taken his pain away, and then of how wonderful the Underverse was.
'Sounds like some sort of safe haven, or sanctuary to them.' Nova thought to Linda.
'Yea, maybe?' Linda replied.
"But what about what we want?" a council member asked suddenly.
The Purifier looked up to the man that interrupted him and a look of, sadness crossed his face?
'Hey Linda, is it just me or does the Purifier guy look, well to put it plainly, sad?' Nova asked.
'Hey! Your right! He does!' Linda replied.
Then a dark figure suddenly loomed over the council member whom had spoken out and struck the man trough with his hand and the man fell to his death.
Several of the village women shrieked in terror and the men looked dissuaded.
Nova nearly fainted at the sight of the man's soul. She looked towards Linda and knew in an instant that Linda had seen a glimpse of the man's soul also and had fainted.
Nova and Linda were both seers. Seers were humans who could see spirits and souls. It unnerved them, but they used their ability to help towns people to cope with the loss of a loved one.
Nova had to get Linda, as well as herself, out of this place, but how? Linda was near the front and in plain sight. Nova had to try and get Linda to move to the back, towards her, else she had to create a distraction.
'Linda?' Nova called, 'Linda, wake up! You have to try to wake up, now!'
Nova twitched in irritation as Linda did not respond.
'Damn,' Nova had to think and fast, 'I'll have to create a distraction.'
"SNAKES! THERE ARE SNAKES IN HERE!" Nova screamed at the top of her voice.
In turn, that made all the women scream out in fear and start to run around in a frenzy. The Necromongers then had to calm down the chaos that ensued.
'Now then, to get Linda outta here.' Nova thought as she started crawling her way toward Linda.
Nova hoisted Linda over her shoulder, not wanting to spend any time getting caught she made her way to the nearest door hoping to find a way out.
To her dismay she only found more Necromongers roaming the halls. Just then the captives fled into the halls and gave her the converge she needed.
After getting away from the hall she tried her best to blend in with the crowd, but with Linda passed out over her shoulder didn't exactly say, 'I'm a normal Necromonger. Don't mind me!'
As she made her way along the hall she was in she tried every door she saw. Finally she found one that was unlocked. She didn't even hesitate to enter the room.
