This is my first Soul Calibur fiction… Enjoy. I love feedback, so read and review it or I will smite you with an orange peel.
This chapter of the story is more of an introduction to the rest, so it really doesn't have much to do with Soul Calibur… I apologize if anything is confusing, but I'll probably answer most questions in the story… in due time. Also, I hope this is the shortest chapter I'll be writing.
Chapter One: The World Behind the Reversible glass.
"I have to piss like a racehorse." Allie Eldredge stated flatly, ascending from Erin's bed.
Allie was an attractive, pale girl standing at roughly five feet tall. Her straight textured bob cut was black in color with red highlights. Her narrow eyes were a chocolate brown in color, though her right eye had an odd, but almost unnoticeable purple color if you would observe it closely. Black rimmed glasses served as frames for the eyes. Her face was round, and at the moment had a bright smile, which made her features more appealing. She was clad in a red hooded sweatshirt and baggy jeans, which concealed her figure. The girl herself thought she was chubby, but her build was nothing to be ashamed of.
Erin nodded, "Okay, I hope you win." She teased, smiling and continuing to play Parasite Eve on her Playstation Two.
Erin was a girl of fair complexion, standing at about five feet, four inches tall. Her body was slender, and her face was slightly hear shaped, but more round than not. Her large eyes were a mix of green, blue with very little brown and an orange ring around the pupil. Her pink lips were wrought like a small arrow, but not necessarily thin.
Five minutes passed, and Allie was still in the bathroom. Erin wondered. Was she constipated or something? She decided to find out.
Erin rapped at the door, "Allie, did you fall in?" She asked lightly, raising an eyebrow to herself.
"Come in here, look at this…" Allie called from behind the door.
Erin raised a delicate eyebrow, but didn't object. She opened the door to reveal Allie gazing into the mirror, seeming to be enamored by an aspect of the mirror.
"What is…?" Erin started, but what she saw in the mirror had completely enthralled her, "Wow…"
The bright rose-red orbs of light completely enthralled the girls… The globe, only about the size of a baseball, danced gracefully around the mirror, a trail of light following it wherever it floated.
The enchanted pursue of the light was interrupted when Erin finally snapped out of its hypnotism.
"Allie, you spiked my coffee, I know it. We're going outside." Erin barked, grabbing the other girl's wrist and pulling her out of the bathroom and through the house, finally letting go when they stood outside on the deck.
It was on the deck they sat for about an hour, discussing many different things… Including the odd balls of light, but that was a short-lived topic.
"So what do you think of the new science teacher?" Erin queried randomly, turning from her stomach to her back.
"Mr. Johnson? Him?" Allie asked, rising from her laying position, "He's…"
"Stand-offish?" Erin offered.
"Precisely, and he seems as if he's tiresome of life." Allie mused, pushing her glasses up her nose.
Erin nodded in agreement, "He does seem like a jaded man." She mumbled, flipping a stray hair out of her face.
A moment of silence followed before a drone of pain emitted from Erin's throat… her heart felt as if it was frozen in a layer of ice.
"What's wrong? Allie had asked, her voice leaching with concern.
"Ow… Just heart problems, I'll be fine." She whimpered, coughing unyieldingly. Erin had had heart problems since she was very young - she had even had consecutive heart failure twice.
Allie frowned, "Are you tired at all?" She asked.
Erin had got the message that Allie wanted to go to bed - which sounded like a good idea - and nodded curtly.
Allie offered a hand to Erin and she accepted gratefully, "Thank you, Allie." She said, beaming at her friend. She then sauntered to her room, an action Allie mimicked.
In the sleeping quarters of Erin, Allie and Erin hadn't actually made an effort to sleep yet.
"And you know I love it when your bees dance the jig!" Allie giggled, followed by roaring laughter from both girls.
"That's amazing!" Erin snorted, rolling off a bed with a thud, which had only fueled the laughter.
With a loud crack, which brought both girls' attention to the only mirror in the room, dozens upon dozens of rose-red orbs of light had flooded the room, illuminating it with their uncanny luminosity.
Engrossed by the lights, the girls groped for a brilliant sphere. Finally, Erin caught one. The orb tossed her around the room before she lost her grasp and it flew into the bathroom mirror, causing a ripple effect in the glass.
Without thinking, Erin leaped into the mirror, unaware of the fact that the mirror was in fact a passageway to something that could be wonderful or devastating.
All that either girl knew would be lost forever in a life altering twist of fate they thought could only happen in fairy-tales…
How wrong they were.
