The dusty winds brushed her long, black hair back into her eyes, causing her to grumble in annoyance. "Blasted winds, I hate the weather here!" Riza screamed, shaking her fist at the gray-painted sky. In reply to her comment, the wind simply blew sand into her face, whistling and howling as it did so.
Hissing, Riza wiped the sand from her eyes, and spat the grainy substance out of her mouth. She swore violently in a foreign tongue and rode on her faithful cinnamon-colored stallion. Her dark eyes were nearly shut from the force of the sandy winds, and it wasn't easy to say her horse was in any better condition.
The horse was covered in sand and cuts; if one were to touch it, they might find the poor beast's skin bloody, rough, and icy cold. Despite the fact that Riza was traveling through a desert, that did not necessarily mean that the weather would be burning hot. The beast of burden whined in some pain, but obediently went forward, though its footsteps were becoming harder to take and its breath was extremely labored.
Abruptly pulling her horse to a halt, Riza turned at seeing a shadow loom over her from behind. "What the-?!" She turned, coming face to face with huge creature; bloody red eyes stared at her evilly, glistening white fangs had acid dripping down from them, and a horrid stench hovered about it. Oddly enough, the creature's form otherwise was completely shadowed. To say in the least, the creature was not pretty. Riza's horse reared and threw her off to the ground, taking off.
"Aw, -bleep-!" (A/N: Bleep? Just insert one of the common BAD cuss words there. ~.^ BTF!) "This is gross!" Scrambling to her feet, Riza backed up from the creature carefully, resisting the urge to gag. Gagging might make the creature more offensive.
'Maybe I can run?' She pondered in her mind. Amazingly, the creature responded with a low, creepy voice. "Are you afraid of me?"
"Huh?" Riza was confused, wondering how the creature able to read her mind, and respond verbally.
"Are you afraid of me?" It repeated patiently.
"Why should I be?"
"You act as much."
"I'm a good actor." Rizu crossed her arms defiantly.
The creature chuckled, glowing red eyes narrowing. "You are such a liar. Trust me; there are things far worse than I in this desert you will be crossing."
"And give me a reason I should trust you?"
"It's not as if the humans you interact with are any better."
Riza glanced back warily at the invisible path she was soon to cross, wondering if the hideous creature's words would be true. 'Maybe its right; there were no humans I'd trust back at home.' Turning, she found nothing but a huge wall of darkness.
"What?!" She gave another startled cry, glancing about. Now she was completely surrounded by darkness. Soon the darkness took over her; or rather, she woke up.
+|The real world|+
Riza blankly stared at the wall of her soul-room. "What an odd dream." She muttered under her breath, sliding out of bed. Dusting off her normal attire she usually slept in, she exited the soul-room, materializing by Bliz. "Wakey wakey sleepy girl!" She sang aloud, giving a swift, painful kick to Bliz's side.
"Ow! Why'd you hit me?" Bliz grumbled, rubbing her side while sitting up."
"You're going to be late for school - correction, WE are going to be late. Now get up so you can eat something before we get there."
"But we don't have any money." Bliz stupidly protested.
"Who said we're going to buy our food?" Riza smirked. Bliz gave a horrified look.
"You don't mean we're going to steal?!" Bliz frowned.
"And what if we are? What are you going to do about it?"
Bliz had no response, to which Riza considered herself victorious. "Good then, now let's go."
Even with odd, disturbing dreams on mind, Riza could still manage to half drag, half shove Bliz towards the school building. "Hurry up, come on. I'm not going to wait for you forever, even though I could."
"Alright, stop pushing me!"
"I'm not pushing you! I'm shoving you! Now shut up!"
"It's the same thing, and I won't shut up!"
"I'll make you shut up-ow! Get your teeth off my hand!"
"Ne'fer!" Bliz had bitten Riza on the arm and now would -not- let go. It was quite an amusing sight to see Bliz attached to Riza's arm and hand, with her darker half jerking about. Now a small crowd of students had gathered, and were cheering on a fight. Soon enough, though, a teacher came and ushered all the students back into school just as the bell rang.
"Get off!" Riza growled, kicking Bliz off her. "Now come on." Riza dragged Bliz into the large building, where the two were directed by a teacher to where new students would be instructed on where to go and what to do.
--
Several hours later, the twins left the building, thoroughly bored to death. "That had to be the most pointless 'class' I have ever received." Bliz stated.
"I agree."
It soon began to rain; not any of Bliz's doing, but rather because of Riza. You could say Bliz inherited the interesting gift from her darker half.
After a long pause, Riza randomly asked a question. "Do dreams mean anything to you?"
"Sometimes; why'd you ask?" Bliz gave a sideways glance.
"None of your business - don't reply to my questions with questions of your own."
"Okay."
The two walked home in silence, hoping to get some sleep that would prepare them for the school they would now attend starting the next week.
