Raechyl was sitting on top of the Starship. She oddly didn't need an air helmet. She was just sitting there, staring into the starry sky. One star began to glow red and the sky around it darkened. They turned into a dark silhouette, and the star became a gleaming red eye.
Raechyl felt a cold shiver run down her spine as she stared
"Revenge… revenge for… what I am…" The words echoed around her, as of the darkness had said it.
Raechyl woke in a cold sweat, gasping for air, in her bed. Her kitten saw sniffing and nudging her gently as if trying to comfort her. She stroked his silvery fur, taking in his comfort. She sat and ran her fingers through her now soaked blonde hair. Picking up her cat, she pushed herself out of bed, then put the Seymour back on the bed. "I'm gonna shower," she explained to the cat. "I'll be back later."
In the shower as the cool water trickled through her fur, she could feel some one watching her. She had hoped for refreshment, but the shower had given her very little of this. As soon as she was clean she got out and pulled a towel around her, then walked back to her room hurriedly.
She put on a plain black shirt and pulled on some baggy black pants. Still she felt that red eye upon her. "I've got to take my mind off of that…" She dug through her presents and grabbed her new hoverboard.
Heading downstairs with the hoverboard tucked under her arm, she waved to her dad. "I'm going to go out and practice hoverboard, see you."
Sasha walked over. "Raechyl, wait. That board is boring. How about you and I paint it? It'll be fun."
Raechyl smiled. "Okay, that's a good idea. Sounds fun."
Ratchet rolled his eyes.
She and her mother headed into the kitchen where Sasha laid down some
old news papers and slowly sat down. "Crap," Sasha murmured, "Can
you get the paint? I forgot to, and I'm already sitting…"
"Sure,"
she said, then headed into the storeroom. She grabbed two paint cans
at a time and brought them to her mom one at a time. As she carried
the third set, she tripped and dropped the paint cans. They spilled
all on the metal floor. Black poured everywhere and red fell beside
it. A single splat of red fell farther from the others, and landed in
the black. It was the same black silhouette, with the same red eye.
Raechyl shrieked and ran into her room.
By the time Ratchet and Sasha saw the paint, the colored had run and the dark figure in the paint was gone.
