September 12, 2026 - Revelations - Act 2, Day 2, Scene 1

Only one day had passed since Jade had gotten on that bus and everything fell apart. She had been traveling with the same people she met on the bus. Excluding the douchebag Aki, who had just left them after saving them. What was his deal anyways? Was the any real reason to be a dick? No.

After Aki had left, the group stayed on the bus for another ten minutes after another strange being tried to get on. It was strange and twisted, parts of it dragged behind it, almost as if they didn't fit. The most disgusting part was a bloody, mangled head that appeared to be attached to the creature's back. It looked like a tiger's head, but was so badly twisted it was hard to tell.

(A/N This part gets a little… descriptive. You can skip if you want.)

The head was limp, a sign showing that it wasn't alive. It was missing an eye while the other one dangled by a pinkish-red string. The hollowed part where the eyes were supposed to be were gouged with scars covering them. There was blood that was pooled up in the hollows. At least as much as they would hold. The rest of the face was cut along the marks that seemed like stripes. The cuts were new and were deep enough to show off thick, red muscles that could no longer be used. In the mouth, a rat that had been long dead. this being shown by flies and maggots that had invaded. Several bones were showing and it was sickening to look at. Going back to the tiger's mouth, nearly every tooth was missing, most being found shoved up into the tiger's jaw, causing blood to drip down where the blood should be.

(A/N You can read again. I'm done with the gross descriptions.)

The rest of the body appeared to be a cross between a human and a goat. Very strange.

Jenna classified it as a failed chimera; a creature that is artificially created by combining two or more animals together into one.

This only meant that there was a sadistic scientist that was making them and clearly, they weren't good at it.

After escaping the chimera, the group had talked about getting to someone's house where they could barricade themselves. Jenna had suggested they go to her house, but the idea was shot down when Jenna told them getting to the house meant having to go through all the monsters that might have swarmed the major highway.

No.

Several ideas were thrown around until Jade suggested her place. She couldn't really call it a home or house since is was underground next to some shady nightclub. It seemed to be the easiest to get too and the safest option.

It was easy, they went down a backroad, where there were hardly any monsters and when there were some, all that needed to be done was hide behind a tree or in some bushes. There was plenty of those things. After they got to Jade's 'home', they blocked the entrance with some old cupboards that Jade had said she didn't need. They took all the food out of them and they guys pushed it up the old stairs that led to the entrance of Jade's living space.

So.

That's basically it.

Ashton was currently rummaging through the food supply.

Lily was making sure Ashton didn't eat the majority of the supply.

Fernando was piling more onto the barricade.

Joe was pacing the floor, clearly worried and

Jade sat in an old beanbag that she had owned for about two years. "What do we do now? We can't stay in here forever. We'll need to get food sometime, even if we have some canned crap."

Joe shrugged. "We'll need weapons if we want to go out again. If we were to leave now, we'd be torn to shreds in an instant; more of those monster things were trying to get in while we were blocking the entrance off."

Aston looked up from the can he was trying to open. "There are monsters outside?"

Fernando nodded. "Tons. I wonder how that Aki guy is. He seemed fine against one of those things, but there are way more than one just around here."

Jenna snorted, "I think he's fine. That douche can probably take care of them himself. And if he can't, then that's his problem."

Jade grinned at the thought of that guy being gone. He really was full of himself it seemed. "What is he anyways?" the question was quiet. Simple as well. It came from Ashton. "He didn't seem very human to me."

Lily was the first to respond. "How could he not be human? Sure, there are real life monsters that were thought to be legends or myths, but he didn't attack us on sight. He looked to human to not be."

Jenna shook her head. "Did you ever get a good look at his eyes? They were two different colors; brown and a darker brown."

Joe shook his head. "I'm very sure that I'm human and I have naturally different colored eyes. It's a rare thing, but it's in some genetics. It's called Heterochromia Iridum."

(A/N: It's a real thing. My friend has it. Look it up.)

Jenna paused. "True… maybe he just is human. Just a really weird one."

"Haha, this is pretty funny! Aki said you guys were amusing!" The sudden laughter was heard from above the group, but there wasn't a body to be making the noise. "Who's there?" Fernando called out to the voice, which replied with more laughter.

"I thought that Aki said that there might be some assistance along the way! No matter, you know now! My name is Cleonia! Proud demigod type!" The owner of the voice appeared on the counters on the makeshift kitchen space that occupied some of the space in Jade's house/room.

The person who appeared was a woman who appeared to be about nineteen. She had tan skin with some strange, very white markings around her left ankle that trailed up her leg onto her waist where they stopped. Her face was longish with slightly round features, sharp giving her a distant Egyptian look, similar to how her named sounded. Her eyes and hair were rather strange and seemed out of place on her complexion; blonde hair and blue eyes, showing that her parents were obviously of different heritage. The blonde hair the girl had was short, going down to her shoulders. Though her forelocks were long, going down to her waist, which was thin and curvy.

She definitely was strange. Not just mentally.

The entire was in initial shock from the fact that a strange woman had just appeared into the stronghold they created.

After the fact had settled in, Jade spoke up. "You said demigod, right? Like, Percy Jackson? ANd what did you mean when you said Demigod Type?"

Cleonia laughed some more. "Humans are pretty ignorant aren't they? Yes, demigods like Percy Jackson. But think more Egyptian. When I meant 'type' I meant hybrid. I'm several different species combined into a humanoid think. We hybrids as like really sophisticated chimeras. Don't confuse the two of us; some hybrids will get really offended by it. The type is the base species. What we were born as. I am an Egyptian Demigod. Not only Romans and Greeks has kids with humans."

This was rather confusing. Think Homestuck Troll Romance. That's about how confusing this may get.

(A/N I can explain Troll Romance in only fifteen words, though. D:)

Well, Miss Author, aren't you special?

(A/N I'm a jerk. :)

Stop talking.

(A/N Okay. :( )

Now then. Back to the important things.

⇒ Be Joe.

(A/N Now I have Homestuck on the mind.)

I told you to shut up.

(A/N But-

Don't even.

(A/N-

STAHP

:(

You know what? SCREW THIS. END OF THE CHAPTER. D:
