Strife

Prologue - New Beginnings & Painful Endings

Pale green abruptly flickers throughout a small dark room. A large figure stirs from its too small cot in the corner of the Spartan room. Rolling off the low cot, the figure silently moves to seat itself in front of an old greying cedar desk. The figure with a low raspy voice asks no one in general, "Well, well, well. What do they have planned for me this time? Infiltration? Assassination? Rape, murder and pillage?" With a rumbling chuckle, the figure opened up its most recent mission.

Chibi,

Arnold Guebert High School (1) in Cromdale (2) appears to be the best school for you to attend this year dear. I hope you accept this decision; I assure it is in your best interest. I hope you have had an entertaining summer in Rocky Mountain House.

Mother

A maniacal smile slowly spread across the figures pale green-lit face. As the figure leans in closer to the screen, he begins to type his response.

Mother,

Rocky Mountain House was most definitely worth spending the summer. I enjoyed myself immensely. I will be more than happy to go to Arnold Guebert. I don't believe I've ever been to Cromdale before. High school should be a great deal of fun.

Chibi

Sending and checking the confirmation of the email, the figure proceeded to shut down the computer. A loud scrapping sound could be heard which echoed in the small barren room. The figure quickly stood and walked briskly to a small wooden padlocked door. Upon removing the padlock, the figure opened the surprisingly sturdy door and strolled in to the next room. Flicking on an unseen light switch, a blindingly bright light flickered to life illuminating the now revealed room.

"What? No hellos or how ya doin's? I'm hurt Julie really hurt." A small cowering figure involuntarily shudders at the sound of 'Chibi's' voice and tries to borrow deeper into the corner of the room. Julie's attempts were hindered by the clamp attached to her ankle which was bolted to the floor be a short chain. "Ah, oh well. I'd love to stay and enjoy your, umm, delicious hospitality some more, but I really have to be moving on. You know how it is. Innocent little school kids to corrupt, juvenile teens to screw, annoying parents to panic and senile old folks to torment. Ha, ha, ha. I'll have simply a gay old time won't you say? Hmmm? Don't you agree? Hm, you seem alarmingly quiet today. No matter, I'm going to change that soon enough. Then you'll be silent forever." An evil demonic grin had been slowly spreading across the speakers face throughout its little tirade. And with its conclusion, it reached high above its head to retrieve to secured machete.

And Chibi was right he did change her silence. The tortured screams were heard for quiet sometime until Julie turned silent permanently. Then, Chibi, after the cleaning of the blood red machete, began to pack for school.

(1)=Arnold Guebert: Pronounced 'gEbert' not that anyone cares. It's actually the name of my library at university, but whatever.

(2)=Cromdale: Ok, I have no idea where this is in the city; I just know that's where my bus goes. Of course that doesn't make much sense to me, 'cause the bus takes me downtown. If anybody who lives in Edmonton and knows where Cromdale is, I'd appreciate it if you'd tell me.



Cob: Ok...that wasn't too bad...what the blazes is up with the freaky guy??

Connor: Not freaky guy!! Freaky "it". We don't know what the "blazes" "it" is. Hee hee that was fun; what with the "blazes" and with the "it" and the whole quotation things.

Creed: You both need help. I want the GW-boys in story right now!! They make a lot more sense then this hunk-a-junk.

Carolyn: I'm ignoring all of you. You all suck. *Sniffles quietly to self* I didn't think it was that bad. It wasn't right?
