I was watching HetaOni and it made me cry. God, I didn't know a pixel game could make me cry! I was literally sobbing as I watched video after video of the HetaOni. At first, the beginning wasn't very interesting, but as I got further and further into the series, I was gripping the edge of my seat as I craved for more.
And now, I have suddenly found myself wanting to write a HetaOni script. I loved the original story, but the Oc part of my brain decided to interrupt my train of thought and I suddenly found myself staring at the OC character who is also going to be starring in this story.
I guess there is a bit of a spoiler at the beginning, but I'm expecting those who have already watched the dubbed versions of HetaOni to be reading this. So for them who have watched the videos already, the spoiler parts aren't really spoilers.
Disclaimer: I don't own HetaOni. Only the OC!Country whose identity will be revealed in the next chapter if you haven't figured it out in the interaction in this
Prologue
The two figures raced down the dark hallway, putting as much distance between them and that Thing.
The person in front, a young man, was holding onto the hand of the smaller figure. Whenever the person behind him began to lag, he gripped their thinner and more delicate hand tightly to force them to continue running. They couldn't afford to stop; not when they had lost so much already. But it hurt. Everything hurt. And what hurt the most was his heart; it hurt so much that he thought he would go mad.
"If only..."
In response to his tightened grip, the smaller hand gripped his hand back tightly. The second person understood the first; they would both make it out. Neither of them would die. They couldn't die. Not when their friends had given up their lives in protecting them so that they could escape.
They could hear the thud of footsteps following them, but it sounded far away. But even though, the two of them did not stop running to take a breather. They had to get out.
Out.
Out to freedom.
"If only we hadn't come to this place..."
When they reached the entrance, the young man let go of the smaller person's and opened the door since his other hand held onto the journal he accidentally took with them when the Thing burst into the room to probably finish them off since they were the only beings left in the mansion. The door unlocked immediately and once the second person was out the door, they slammed it shut and started running down the path.
"Would they still be alive?"
"Sorella! Hurry!" The man's voice was cracked with grief and desperation as he glanced back at the girl, holding onto her hand once more. "We have to get away!"
"S-sorry kuya!" She apologized as they continued moving once more.
Like him, the girl's normally brown and sparkling eyes were filled with grief as well as the helplessness with knowing that their friends were dead. They were also red from shedding so many bitter tears at being unable to do anything.
They heard a door slam open and the two turned their heads to see that it had followed them out. Hearts pounding, they picked up speed but the Thing seemed faster than it had before and was beginning to catch up to them.
"We won't accept this kind of ending!"
The man grimaced before turning around to face it, making sure his sorella was behind him. She was the only one he had now; the one he had to protect. He could hear her protest, but he hushed her. He was tired of running away from it and he was certain she was too. It was time to face this thing once and for all.
"Stop!" He shouted at it.
"Give them back!"
And to their amazement, their pursuer listened to him. It's dark empty eyes were focused on the man, but it was keeping note of the girl too.
"We won, right?" His voice was shaky and there was a sob in it, but he continued. "You couldn't catch either of us; you lost!"
The thing was staring intently at them and they could feel it's hostility rising but the two of them stood their ground.
"The moment we get out of here, you'll lose! There's nothing you can do outside the mansion's boundaries!" The man glared at it, tears beginning to blur his eyes amber eyes. "When I get out of here, this place won't be the same as before you know! As a nation, I will destroy this place!"
"Give back what you stole from us!"
"I'll help him!" The girl's voice cracked with emotion as she stepped beside her companion. "You took them away from us! So it's only right we take the mansion away from you!"
The Thing stared at them in the same unnerving way it always had, but they could sense unease emanating from it. They had finally trapped it in some way, despite that they were the only ones left now.
"Doesn't that make you frustrated?" The man taunted, laughing at it bitterly. "We're your last trophies!"
The girl smiled through her own tears, wanting to goad the Thing as well. "You lost to someone who is good at running away fast as well as the one who is physically the weakest. In other words... you lost to the weakest links of the group! You were able to get the others... but you weren't able to catch us."
There was silence; both sides were in a stalemate. Or rather, the Thing was doomed to have no more victims if their words rang through.
"...back..." The man finally said. His voice became louder and sharper as he shouted at it. "Take me back!"
The girl was startled, not knowing the meaning of his words.
"You can take me back in this warped space, can't you? If you do that, why don't you eat me first? If you can catch me, that is?"
His companion gaped at him, hardly believing her ears. They were just about to escape this place! Why in the world would he-?
Something in her mind clicked in place. What was the point in escaping now? All their friends were gone, leaving them to tell everyone else the grim and bitter fact. And then what? Could they just continue living as if nothing ever happened? What good would it do to destroy the mansion now when they lost so much?
The girl sniffed. Her brothers were gone and her closest friends were too...
There would be no more victims, but it wouldn't bring the others back to life.
"And as you know," She added softly, something burning in her eyes as she glared at the creature's cold eyes no longer feeling fear but anger towards it. "You can't kill me. You've already tried four times and failed."
"Sorella-!" Apparently, he hadn't even factored her as part of his plan. Most likely because it would be dangerous and risky, even if she could survive the attacks. Even if she could survive fatal blows...
But she shook her head. "No. You... you're not the only one who survived and was protected by the others. Even now, YOU are the one who is keeping me safe. If you think that you're weak, what does that make me?" She smiled sadly. "Please Kuya, don't leave me out of this. I'm at fault just as much as you are. Besides, we'll have a more likely chance of fixing everything... if we work together."
"..." The man was silent before he faced the Thing again. She was right. If they worked together, they would be able to make sure none of it happened.
"Take us back! GO BACK!"
"We'll turn back time if we have to..."
And as if to answer their prayers, they found themselves blinded by a white light.
They suddenly found themselves in the the world meeting hall right after the meeting had ended. At first, the two of them wondered if it had all been a dream, but the both of them knew that it had actually happened because of the journal the man was holding. They were back before the terror they had suffered through had begun but, after it was too late to destroy the chain of events their innocent curiosity had set off.
"To get a different ending where everyone is alive..."
I can't believe I finished this in a day. It usually takes me about two days to complete a chapter. But then again, the prologue is supposed to be short. Yeah, I know there are quite a few spoilers in here, but uh, if you've seen the videos already then there really is no point to be annoyed, is there? And if you haven't watched the series, you won't really get it!
Hope I can get the next chapter out fast too!
