Engulfing Darkness
Chapter 1
Into the Fire
"But bananas don't squirt when you peel them," I pointed out.
"You can't juice bananas though!" my sister whined.
A usual argument over our food obsessions. My sister, Rin, likes oranges. I like bananas. They are WAY better! But Rin just won't listen...
One word to describe Rin? Pest. Every time I meet someone, she embarrasses me. Every time! She's blond just like me and wears a white bow on top of her head. Like I said before, CRAZY obsession for oranges. I mean really, oranges? Why? It makes no sense to me. Whatever. But I still don't get it.
"HEY WHAZZAT," Rin asked. She pointed at something standing on the bridge in front of us over the river. It looked like a person with a cloak. There was something weird about this guy, besides the cloak.
"Rin don't go near it; I don't think it's a casual goth monk trying to give you oranges,"
Sometimes it really felt like she was five years old though we're twins. And she's even older than me (only by a minute)!
"It's watching us..." I noticed its head was turned towards us. Well, what looked like a head. We couldn't tell. The cloak covered all of its body.
All of the sudden I saw a flash of orange and green.
"Take these!" the flash yelled(yes the flash did talk!) and flung two things to our feet. A long sword to me and a staff to Rin.
"All I get is a fancy walking stick?" Rin complained.
The hooded started walking towards us. It took a blind swipe at us with a bony hand.
It wants to kill us! I realized.
I swung my sword at the thing. A wave of electricity emitted from the blade and smacked the guy to the ground. Rin banged her staff on the ground. A crack in the ground appeared beneath the guy. The crack swallowed the guy up and sealed itself.
"What...what was that? Did we do that?" Rin wondered.
I looked at my sword, still crackling with electricity.
The orange and green flash swooped by again, except this time, stopping in front of us. It was a girl with green hair. She was wearing goggles on her forehead, an orange T-shirt, and orange shorts.
"Hi! What's your name?" She asked me.
A monster cloak thingy just appeared and she's asking me what my name is? This girl is very positive!
"Ah...Len," I hesitantly answered.
"I'm Rin! Who are you?" Rin grinned. I sware, she's the most hyper person in the world.
"Gumi's my name. I'll explain everything once we get to my place. I've called a meeting there. C'mon we're late!"
"...are you crazy?" Rin asked after a moment.
"Rin! She helped us! Don't call her crazy!" I whispered, elbowing her in the arm. "We'll come, Gumi,"
"Thanks, Len. I don't think you'll regret it," Gumi held my hand. I fiercely blushed a bright crimson. Gumi giggled.
Gumi stomped her foot. Suddenly, Rin shot up into the air. She stomped again and this time, we flew up.
"Whoa!" My face lit up. I looked at Gumi. She grinned and said, "Let's go!"
Gumi moved her hand in a pattern of complex motions which made us fly forward as fast as a jet while still holding my hand.
Hey! How do you like my first fanfic?
