Disclaimer: I don't own Mass Effect ...I'm not that BAMF...yet ;)
Warnings: Nothing that bad XD
Author's Note: Hello peoples~! Now, you're probably wondering what the hell I'm doing making another ff when I have 2 others i should be working on...but I've been obsessing with mass effect for months and I couldn't stop my self~ And, if you remember, I was working on it when I was being frustrated with ch 3 of Night Blooming Cereus, thus i was being productive...like a BOSS XD. I'll probably upload the assassins creed ff i started soon as well (once i name it). But i also wanted to do this just to write something other than bleach and have a little variety of story options for you fine people.
However~ I believe I am rambling, so to the point~! I realize this is an insanely small chapter (but its the prologue so hopefully yall won't mind) But I just wanted to say that I haven't really started working on the plot for this story (though it'll follow the mass effect story) so I'll probably continue this ONLY if you guys like it. ( I is secretly terrified that no one will like it X.x ...tis my first story with no yaoi after all... )
On a side note the Pairing is going to be Thane/Shep(f) (gasp OMG its not a yaoi! Be still my beating heart!) and truthfully i LOVE Garus~ He is so0o0o0o0o adorkable~ and akward! It just makes me all giggly. But I also love the mysterious assassin Thane, and, you all must admit, he is a hot piece of ass~ XD plus he's angsty and if you guys didnt realize yet, I'm an angst whore XD
And without further ado~ Here is the story~ Woooo~

More Recent Author's note:Okay I know i said this was going to be a Thane/Shepard(f) but as i try to write this story I've realized something...I CAN'T BETRAY MY GARRUS LIKE THAT! I mean Thane is awesome smut material, but my love is GARRUS! I jus can't write Shepard with Thane! (though I do like reading it). I mean seriously! I have re-played mass effect so many times and each time I'm like "I'm curious how it'd be with thane so I'll romance him this time" and then I get passed the loyalty missions and I go and romance Garrus! Geez I just can't betray my Garr-Garr poo (don't tell him I call him that). SO I APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE WHO WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME THANE/SHEP. Hope you'll still read it even if it's gonna be wit Garrus
P.S. I am also sorry for anyone who alerted this and gets really happy that there is a new chapter just to realize it was this note
P.S.S I am also also sorry that I haven't been able to update in awhile. This semester in college has been hell =_= I have like no time. But worry not! Summer is coming and I only have 4 classes during the summer! So I'm hoping I can update more frequently than I have been.
Explosions. Pain. Death. That was all I could recall. Which actually didn't help at all. I mean that cocktail of joyful ingredients? Yea. Basically average day for me. Though, truthfully I tend to wake up after these little events. Death. Usually avoided me like the plague. The urge to chuckle rose and I didn't bother to hold it in. Not that I usually held that particular urge in. I can laugh when I damn well please, though I did try not to when I was in the middle of something serious.
I guess it didn't matter if I allowed myself a little ironic humor in here anyways. Its not like I could hear it. Or anything for that matter. Couldn't see anything either. Just black. Not dark, black. Like a void. Which I didn't really get. Don't know 'bout you but I tended to think of the afterlife as a happy little place. Not with fluffy bunnies and whatnot, but at least something. Hmmm. But if those fluffy bunnies were carrying liquor I would happily welcome them into my fantasies of life after death. This was just bleak. Dull. Dare I say boring? Oh yes, I dare.
And here I was thinking about all the fun I could have spying down on the living once I died. Death was a party pooper, to be sure. Sorta wish I had chocolate. Mmmm… chocolate liquor. I would say coffee, but I'd rather wait until I'm tired to deplete my imaginary coffee supply, thank you very much.
And if death didn't make me tired I wonder what would? Perhaps saving the world again? I feel numb. Cold sometimes. Surprising heat other times. Why was death so confusing? And there wasn't even alcohol in this weird void to make it less confusing. And I was terribly uncomfortable. I would never tell anyone, but I didn't like the dark. Sure, I could handle it for awhile, but complete darkness had a way of ruffling my feathers, so to speak. Ironically enough, I was a night person. But even then, night wasn't pitch black. There were stars, planets. Hell, there was even artificial lights.
And no. I wasn't afraid some big bad boogie man was gonna come and eat me or something. My finely tuned senses could and would beat its ass before it got close enough to even think about it. I couldn't really explain it…well I could, but I'm not gonna. I enjoy my secrets and a secret it was. Though, simply speaking, it was just one of those unexplainable fears, a phobia if you will. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
All in all, this void was getting less enjoyable by the minute. And it was simply pissing me off. Especially since I couldn't exactly remember how I died in the first place. Like I said before, explosions, pain and death had been the normal dose of nutrition. Hmmm. I do remember that rather unpleasant feeling of not being able to breathe.
My head snapped to my right, gaze darting from side to side, scanning everything. Swear I just saw something…Maybe the booze bunnies have finally decided to hop my way?
~!~!~!~
Ugh, damnit. Now that's really starting to sting. So yea. I wasn't going crazy, seeing things and all, but it sadly had nothing to do with booze or bunnies. Bummer. Random little flashes of light have been coming and going. Which I guess was nice because the black void was starting to become nerve wracking. However, with those little flashes came intense pain. Frankly, I'm starting to miss the numbness.
Another band of lacerating heat shot down my spine and I choked out a pained gasp. Shit. What the hell is going on with my body? Am I dead or not damnit!
Every time the light flashes it gets closer and closer…and the pain increases. Not really looking forward to when that light actually touches me. I can imagine it wouldn't be pleasant. I braced myself as another flash burned through my vision.
