Hi again! Yes I know I have updated pretty quickly, aren't you happy? Anyway, thank you so much for your reviews! You guys are great. The reason I haven't been updating is because my computer wires got fried. I let my friend on my computer, and she's really into cheat stuff, and she fried the circuits! I can't get another one until I save up $600. Until then, I have to use my mom's (and she's on constantly), and my school's, which I'm on right now. Anyway, I want to say thank you again for all the reviews!

The Experiment
Chapter One
The Day After
Sun filtered in through the hut's makeshift door, causing the young girl sleeping near to roll over and wake with a small yawn. The girl sat up and rubbed her eyes.
"Crewger?" The dog, its golden coat shining in the sunlight, came through the flap of a door. Its eyes were downcast.
"Crewger, what's wrong?" The dog went to the girl and nuzzled her neck. Then, taking her sleeve in his mouth, the dog took the girl outside.
"Crewger, what? What's..." Her breath fell short as she saw what lay outside. Black. Charcoal black, with some ashes. The last remnants of the once beautiful palace.
"My home... My family..." The girl's legs buckled and she dropped to the burnt earth, her eyes stinging with unshed tears. Taking her head in her hands, she broke down and cried.
She cried for quite awhile, until the sun's position was right overhead. Then the voices came.
They were deep, cruel voices, filled with untold malice and stunk of bad breath. The girl stiffened, and Crewger by her side growled. She knew who those voices belonged to. The demons.
"Hey, did you hear that?" A harsh voice called out. Another one answered.
"Yeah, I did." This one was cold, unmerciful.
"It looks like we missed one."
The voices got louder, undoubtedly meaning the demons were getting closer. The girl trembled, and then shook with rage. These were the demons that murdered her family, friends, and home! She would have revenge.
Out of the bushes three demons came. They each were identical, down to even their expressions of spite. They had red-tinged skin, bright white hair, and glowing yellow eyes.
Where they walked, steam issued forth from the ground because of the heat they issued from the soles of their feet. Red baggy pants they wore, tied with a matching orange sash. They might have even been considered handsome if it weren't for the murderous look in their eyes. They were indubitably fire demons.
The demons surrounded her. They mocked her while moving in closer. The girl wanted to fight, she really did, but she didn't know all that much about how to. Unfortunately, the added heat and pressure was too much for the girl. As the girl blackened out, she thought she saw a streak of red and black pass her vision. Then she fainted.
He was bored. After wiping out a bunch of low-class demons, he found that they were about to kill a girl. Huh. What would they want with a girl? It was obvious those demons had massacred the palace, but demons rarely go after survivors. He looked down at the girl again.
She had high cheekbones, rosy cheeks, and a sharp nose. Her eyes were closed, and her chest was moving slightly up and down, a sign she was breathing. Her bangs resided over her forehead, and to his surprise the bangs were purple! Think of that, purple bangs.
Well, she sure was pretty, but other than that he couldn't find anything out of the ordinary with her. Wait. He leaned down, until he was almost nose to nose with her.
He felt it. The way the air around her slightly sparked with unseen energy, and her unusual hair color. She had power, but that wasn't all. She was like him.
She stirred and opened her eyes, staring straight into his blood red ones. He whispered, "You don't exist anymore."
Don't worry; the third chapter is almost finished. I was going to add more, but then where would the cliffhanger be? Also, this still won't upload properly, so I'm sorry.
