*Hi people! I'm back much to your obvious dismay! So, thanks to garland of eden for reviewing. To answer some things, Teal and I were discussing Red in history class because Red is loosely based on Teal. In fact, Red's character was a gift to Teal when we first got this. We decided to give her a knife collection and make her extremely obsessive about it. While we were listening to the teacher talk about ancient Rome we started naming her knives. We were learning about Julius Caesar and... the knife that Red considers her soul mate was born. I don't know much about Lock's quest, but since you brought it up, I'm going to use it in a later chapter or maybe a different are, in my twisted world, many Creators. There's the Nintendo guy, the Xbox person, the PlayStation one, the Creator of that traumatizing game for the v-tech consol, and then there are the stand alone games that have Creators. Books, movies, and t.v shows have whatever god/gods they believe in. Many of them see nintendo as that kid in the corner eating paste (it's a funny picture online) so they don't pay much attention to nintendo people. My style of writing is something I learned recently. I wrote a book with a friend, we're still editing because writing is hard but this is sort of the style that we use. I'm still developing my writing but thank you for your suggestion, I will take it into consideration. So, now that I've gotten that out of the way, let's get this story started. I was having trouble with this chapter. It wasn't turning out like I wanted it to, so here's Red's backstory instead. I probably will be doing this if I have trouble with chapters. Enjoy!*
She was born during a thunderstorm. The Creator had drawn her then swept what was on his desk onto the floor. Her first memory was a blonde teenage boy with banging his head on the table. She examined herself carefully. A white simple dress, long red hair, fair skin. She stood up carefully, she was strong, much stronger than someone born from paper and graphite should be.
"Hey cutie," she said with a small smile, "What's wrong?" The Creator turned around and fell out of his chair in shock,
"I didn't mean to make anything come to life!" She shrugged,
"Well, whether it was intentional or not, here I am. Surprise!"
"My life is just getting worse and worse," he sighed, "Do you have a name?"
"What's a name?" The Creator started to laugh, only to cover his mouth quickly which disappointed her since his laugh was cute,
"A name is what people call you."
"What's your name then?" He blushed the most brilliant red she had ever seen,
"I'm The Creator."
"Doesn't seem like a normal name cutie. But, you can call me Red for now." He smiled,
"Like your hair and eyes. I like it. It suits you." Thus Red was born. The Creator, who had just suffered the loss of his brother, was happy to have a friend. They grew up together and Red, who was an extremely vengeful entity, thought that nothing would ever change. But she had never been more wrong. The Creator became more strict as he got older. He made more rules for Red and him to live by. Eventually Red had enough. She cornered him in his room and started bitterly complaining about the extra rules. He tried to defend himself against the furious goddess but her inability to listen to his reasons made him angry too. He banished her to the other end of Creation, where he put all of his failed creations. The first day she was there, she figured he would come back and apologize. The next two days proved that the kind Creator had a dark side. As each long day passed, Red grew more and more afraid. Was this how life was going to be? Isolated and alone in a world where broken toys go? That's all she had been to the Creator, she decided, a toy. Something he could play with until she got boring. Soon she gave up all hope and curled up in a corner, waiting for death. But... death didn't come. She gave up on that too. All she had with her was a knife, which she used to keep track of the days she had been there. She could have used it to end her life, but she considered suicide cowardly. One day, while she was exploring her prison, something, born from her tears and a bit of blood from a mishap with the knife (never sleep with an knife next to you if it's not sheathed.) formed. When she got back, she saw a young woman, with green hair and green eyes sitting on the ground. Overjoyed, Red raced over,
"Oh my god! Uh, hi!" Her voice was scratchy from lack of use but it soon smoothed out,
"What's your name? I'm Red, or Vengeance." The girl shrugged,
"Well if you're Red then I'll be Green. Or Wisdom. Do you have anything to read around here?"
"What?" Green rolled her eyes and pushed her glasses up a little,
"Oh no, are you illiterate? Poor woman." Red narrowed her eyes,
"Are you being smart with me?"
"Well let's see. My name is Wisdom so I guess I am. Don't worry, I'm smart with everyone. It's in my name." Red groaned,
"Just my luck, the first person I meet is a smarta-"
"Profanities do not become you." Red gritted her teeth. This girl was annoying,
"How are you smart with everyone? There's only two of us here."
"Really," Green looked around, "Well, I guess I am only smart with you. Funny how that works. And if we're complaining about each other. Just my luck, the first person I meet is a barbarian."
"Are you mocking me?" Green smirked,
"Anything's possible Red. Really, there are thousands of possibilities on how this conversation could go."
"It's going the worst possible way." Red and Green spent a week avoiding each other. Green was brave enough to venture inside the old brick house that stood near where Red usually stayed. Instead of finding monsters or other horrible things, she found books. Soon enough the two were spending time together, out of fear of being alone. They figured out how to use their magic to create other goddesses and soon they had every color in the rainbow. The guys came next, Green accidentally made them when she got a severe paper cut. She regretted that day more than someone should regret. Red became the leader of the gang because she had been around the longest. Green expected to be second in command, but instead, a girl called Loyalty, and then Patience. They pledged to adventure, explore, and keep the twisted creations under control. They dubbed their home the underworld, and Red swore that she would never become as strict as the Creator had been.
*Okay, so. It may take some time to get the next real chapter out since I'm still having issues, but if it takes too long, I will write another mini story, probably the one about Red and her issues with opening cupboards. Thanks for reading, please leave a review and "Don't die!"*
