Oh god guys... What has it been, 5 months? Longer? I feel like such a total failure T_T"
Let me start of saying I AM SO SORRY AND NO, I HAVE NOT LOST INTEREST OR AM DISCONTINUING MY STORIES! I promise you guys that much! I just have had some serious writers block (yes yes, no excuse) and have been too much of a lazy butt to throw something together for you guys . I looked at my alternate email that this account is tied to and felt really bad about not updating in, like, forever...
Forgive me?
Anyyywayz, sorry for teasing you guys who were probably looking forward to a chapter but I guess I'll at least offer up a snippet I have of Melody of Madness.
So, without further ado, I offer you this snippet in hopes of appeasing you and making amends for being such a lazy butt of an author ."
Allen sat at the lunch table, smiling a hollow smile but it was enough he supposed. He was eating his normal mountain of food with less vigor than normal but his friends just seemed happy that he was even around. There was a huge buzz going around that a new exorcist had been carried in unconscious by a few crows and Lenalee was going on and on about how sickly the girl had looked when being carried in by the crow. They were making plans, which he rightfully assumed would include him, to go visit her in the hospital after eating.
A few minutes later, they all stood, deposited their trays and set off towards the hospital wing of the black order.
Hmm... I don't believe you can last much longer with me here. When we reach our destination, I'll return but if you faint from exhaustion now... well, that would not be good.
Uh... Yeah... I'm not really up to fainting...
Well, I'll depart now. Call my name when we arrive so I can assist you in wielding Buredo Uragirimono.
Bladed Betrayer...? What the heck is that?
It's the name of the innocence fragment and weapon.
Do I want to know the origin of that name...?
Probably not...
Arisa shuddered. Okay then Ms. Aki.
Suddenly, the feeling that a weight she hadn't known herself to be holding was removed came over her and she sighed in relief. That must have meant Aki had left. She flexed her arms and slid her legs over the side of the small hospital bed. It felt nice to move again.
The door opened suddenly and three familiar faces seemed just as surprised to see her as she was to see them. The girl she remember was named... Lenalee, yes yes Lenalee... Spoke first. "Ah, welcome to the black order!" Extended a hand in greeting and smiled warmly. Arisa stared at the offered hand for a second before tentatively taking it and smiling, somewhat forcedly, in return.
"T-thank you?" She murmured, loud enough for the others to hear. It came out as more of a question, much to her disdain. It's not like she had wanted to be here...
D-Dorian? Is that you! Oh it is! I knew I'd find you! She had to bring a hand up to clutch her head even though she knew it wouldn't do any good considering Aki was thinking and it was being said in her mind, albeit at a highly accelerated volume. She gritted her teeth.
Sorry to be rude but do you think you could talk a little quieter? Who is Dorian anyways?
Ah, my Dorian! He is... or was at least, my lover. I'm sorry about shouting...
No worries... just please don't do it again...
"Ah, Ms. Rosalind. It's time for your examination." Her whole body went erect at the sound of the voice. Leverrier...
"Ah, um, yeah... Okay..." She muttered. She barely even noticed the strange looks she was getting from the three exorcists who were trying to convince themselves that her strange behavior was caused by a headache.
The abrasive man simply huffed, turned on his heels and she took it as a sign to follow him. He led her down hallways and stairwells until they reached an elevator type... thing. She tentatively stepped on after Leverrier and screeched as it plummeted downwards and finally got a drip on some form of railing.
So again, sorry for the excessive wait for such a lame little snippet of an incompleted chapter...
Oh and a quick note about Arisa: Is she too Mary-sue? I've come to thoroughly despise OC stories and always feel like a hypocrite for it considering I'm writing 2 of them... If she is too Mary-sue, please please please tell me and I can take her down a few notches... I also think I'm going to put more Allen in the story ;P Plus, this is totally not Allen x OC... This actually doesn't really have any pairings... Unless you guys wanted it to, that is *sly look*
Anyyywayz, thanks for the alerts and favs minna-sama~! Reviews about how much of a lazy bum I am will be accepted and go completely unargued.
