The Journey

who am I? really

2007-05-12T21:27:00.000-06:00

I have been beginning to wonder, why is this all happening? More than anything, how? and why do I have these powers. The Lab couldn't have made me into this. They must have released it, but then. Who am I. Am I really who i think I am? How do I define who I am? I know my name is Koen, and that Fang and I are being hunted. By who the hell knows what. We know we have powers that we still are learning. My control over fire, and his incredible, well everything. We need to go somewhere. Somewhere that feels like home, but everywhere I go. My friends, loved ones, just seem to slip away and leave me. I seem almost waiting for Fang to go. I know it will happen, eventually, at one point or another.
We found a small village near the sea, and we found someone who knew about the Castle and the Lighthouse. That it was only a three-day trip from here. I was relieved to hear this. A sanctuary of my dreams. I think this will end soon, hopefully, I will find out who I am. My past, my reason for existence. What force has been compelling me to live. When so many times I should have died.

-Koen...?

Aasera...

2007-05-11T19:49:00.001-06:00

We never found what happened to Emyrs, since Fang ran back to grab me. -he actually lifted me and carried me away-, we dont talk about it because we all knew that he died. Late that night, Aasera had to, uhm use the ladies room, and because we were in the forest. Aasera got up late that night and when we woke up, we found her, dead. My sword through her gut, Fang and I, aren't really sure how, but were too scared to ask eachother.
We buried Aasera the following morning, and went into town. Our faces as were morbid, and our bodies tired. We stayed at the inn that night, and only then to have to keep going..
A dream I have been having. A place, beyond all imagination, more than this new world now. A castle, with a Lighthouse in the background, near the Ocean. such beauty. yet...the skies were black as night, and a wicked storm brewed. I had to find it. So I had told Fang, "We must go to the Sea, my dreams tell me so. I have nothing to lose, as do you. It will be worth our time.
I think i know now. I must walk alone. My blessing, my curse. All i know now, is that someone will pay.

Emyrs...

2007-04-07T21:19:00.000-06:00

When we left the town the next day, we came to a gorge. There was a fifty foot land-formed bridge connecting our side to the other. So in single file line we slowly crossed the bridge. When we were about halfway across, when those wolf guys from way way back in the beginning starting pouring of of nowhere, from the side we came from. Emyrs immediately drew his sword and grabbed his shield, and as quickly as he did. He turn and ran straight into them all. He shouted back, "Save yourself, Fang," He paused. "This is my service to you may you light sanctification to others. Koen, what you and Aasera have, I will never have, nor do I wish to impede upon it. Take care of each other. All of you"
He cut through the first wave of the wolf men as he unleashed blasts of light and roared cries of battle.
By the time we made it across, Emyrs was overwhelmed. It, it was horrible, but he kept valiantly fighting. Casting aside his weapons he lunged into the air, and wings of light burst out, followed by two key-shaped weapons. (keys to heaven, its a Christian thing, there are two keys to heavens gate.) he arced back and plummeted downward into the fray once again, and as he slashed and cut, we saw his body overwhelmed by them. The bright valiant light, became dark and shadowy as he became enveloped in the shadows.
-wait WHAT!!?!?! They were lycans just a moment ago. uh... yeah, anyways-
I ushered the others into the forest on the other side, only looking back quick to see Emyrs. There he stood. All alone, but instead of his shining hauberk and white uniform. He wore a dark duster coat, with the hood pulled up over most of his face, but... his eyes shown through. Glowing, ominously out at me. The keys, now darker, sustained. He...just stood there, the shadows were completely swarming the other side now. I threw aside my cloak, planted my feet and positioned my hand flat against the air pointing at the bridge with my fingers spread. Focusing all my energy into the bridge, I conjured up an immense amount of fire, into the shape of a shuriken. Spinning it, i jumped into the air, turning a full 360 degrees (for torque power) and hurled it at the bridge. Shattering it.
And, still Emyrs just stood there, surrounded by these shadows, that were slowing closing in on him. I knew he would be killed. I didn't want to think it then, so I ran to catch up to Fang and Aasera.

NEW TOWN!-HAPPY! oh So HAPPY

2007-04-05T22:31:00.000-06:00

in continuation from where i last left off. let me give a more recent description of Aasera. She's maybe 5foot 5inches, roughly. she has a dark brown/black hair with brownish highlights. she has a darker shaded tan, She wears a grey hoody and a pale green skirt over blue jeans. with sneakers.
We came into the next little village, let me say. If I have ever had a good time, it was there. I forgot about ALL my troubles. There was a dance that night, and we all went. We learned how to swing dance. Aasera and I got a few dances in, a few because she was able to go up and sing some of the music, and I was able to play the trombone on some of the songs. It was just, amazing. The music, the dancing, it just wants you to keep doing it till you drop and cant do it anymore. Fang and Emyrs stayed out. Mostly because they couldn't find someone to dance with. I think Aasera and I are getting very close.

-Koen

I, think I know! hopefully.

2007-04-04T16:33:00.000-06:00

Fang, Emyrs, and I went out to go find the others. After about the second day, strange creatures began to appear and attack us. On the third day we notice that the person who destroyed my sword, was again, following us. The next night, while the others were sleeping, I sneaked out and looked for whoever it was that was following us. After what I assumed to be roughly an hour and a half, I had found him. Well, at least I had thought it was a him, before I saw a most defenant HER. I approached, only to step on a branch, sending an echoing *snap* quite loudly throughout the area. Her body moved, Oh no, she noticed me. This time I might get killed. She rolled over facing me directly, but this time in place of a mask, a beautifully youthful face was there, almost shining up at me. I actually fell over in not just embarrassment, but her beauty. Then the thought registered. Its Aasera! As quickly as I fallen, I was back on my feet. She stood there, in a zipped up sleeveless vest, and a pair of blue jeans. "uh...hey" I had said, "uhm, yeah...er, sorry to wake you.
She responded in a lilting voice, "no, its okay. I needed to get up anyways. uhm, by any chance have we met before." but before those words were finished she stopped, and gasped. Clasping her hands over her mouth. "ohmy, your that boy whose sword I broke. I'm so sorry! I didn't know it was you! You look so different!"
I stepped forword, "Its okay Aasera," I told her, and I held her close to me, "everything is okay, and always...will be. As long as...we, are together"
She looked up at me, into my eyes, and I down to her's. We stood there, holding each other and staring into each others eyes. Then as if by instinct, I picked her up, and held her in my arms, and came in to kiss her, only to be met by her moving in to kiss me as well. Time seemed to become lost.
Before the morning came, Aasera and I ran back to the camp to meet Fang and Emyrs for breakfast. Both of us ecstatic.

These Dreams of Late

2007-03-28T00:24:00.000-06:00

I've been having this dream, I don't know what it means, or why I'm having it. They're always the same. Fang, Aasera and I, on an tropic island. Not stranded, just there. Nothing less, nothing more. We were happy as I can imagine. Only, theres something that isn't quite right. The picture looks happy but, I can tell that it isn't. I miss Aasera, I didn't know her that well, but i felt i needed to hold her and just tell her it would be alright. No matter what was going on. She was that kind of person, and now, I think I've gone and lost everything all over again.
This dream, I've been wondering if they're real or not, each time though. The dream gets darker and darker. As if darkness itself was consuming my dream. The island seems to slowly fade away, and last night, it disappeared. I have heard of dreams foreshadowing events that will come, but i don't know what this means.

The Connoisseur

2007-03-16T08:24:00.001-06:00

A few days passed, and I decided to go out into the city, to the best place for weapons, or so I'm told. The Connoisseur. The mastermind of weaponry. One of odd things of this was, although he is one of the richest people in the city, he lives in the not-so-rich part of the city. So i had to have Emyrs lead me there. We took this elevator-esque platform thing to the lower levels of the city. It took us about ten minutes to get there, but it was so worth it. When we entered the building in which the connoisseur lived. An immense aura of well, everything. It was very overwhelming presence. An old man sitting there, his beard flowing out only beaten by his flowing robes. "uhm, hey. I need a new sword, since my fathers sword sorta got destroyed."
The old man responds slowly, "Come, closer. Hold out...your dominant hand." Swiftly poking, prodding and measuring my arm he continues. "Hrm, well-built muscles, and bone structure, and a kinesis unseen for many years. Calling out to a worker, to get something called "Tsubeno" Upon the workers return, only a few moments later, he handed the old man a sword, but not only was it a sword. A katana. "You posses a rare gift," he began. "your control over fire, but not only that makes you a rarity. Your aura, is that not seen for a thousand years. So very similar to his. Nonetheless, take this sword, and see if it suits your fitting"
The Saya (scabbard) was black wood, with a beautifully handpainted design. The leather wrapping was a bold white. The hamon(a part of the blade) had a fiery red tinge) with a spear engulfed in flame etched into one side, And a kanji for Kirin, on the other. Swinging it around, the balance was good. I cut at the air, and it was more silent that possible. "I'll take it," I told the old man. "how much"
"Mhm, oh! That would be 100Kachings."
"uhm, sir, no disrespect, but what the hell is a Kaching?"
"Ah, i see your not from around here. A Kaching is the currency of this domain. That would add up to about a thousand Earth dollars."
Right as I was about to fall back and scream I DONT HAVE THAT MUCH. Emyrs interceded pulling out a bag of jingling coins, and dumping it on the table. "This should cover the price for this...sword." As quickly as he said that, he turned on his heel, and walked out of the store. Leaving me quite alone. I pickedup the sword, and secured it to my side. I walked outside and burst into a run, to get back as fast as I could.

Again, another loss!!!....

2007-03-15T21:48:00.001-06:00

While I was out training, getting used to running again. I was out for a night, and I slept on the turf underneath a large oak (or what I presumed to be an oak, frankly, I had no clue). The next morning while building up my left arm's strength, mobility, and abilities up to those of my right, while training, unknown to me, was that I was being observed. By another swordsman who was garbed to secretively that you could have though that it was because they hiding a body they did not like.But that is besides the point. This observer was maybe a foot shorter than I, but the sword upon "his" back was long, and had two handles, in comparison to his person. From the view, it looked to be a pair of kodachi or a nodachi.Near the end of the day, as dusk was settling in, the watcher finally struck. Swiftly "he" leaped from the nearby tree on which "he" squatted. Drawing up the blade, above "his" head as "he" falls from above at high speed to strike down upon me. Quickly I raised my sword to block, thinking back, that katana's could only be cut by a high speed object in a specific spot.(8inches from the tsuba) Drawing upon all my strength to hold off this first strike. Steel against steel, as "he" is sustained in the air by the sheer force of the cut, and my block, and then the end of my sword falls to the ground. Broken, as is now my spirit and hope to win. A small giggle comes from my attacker whom has assumed a fighting stance across form me, and begins to charge in. As i quickly asses things, I know I'm going to die if this continues much longer. Taking up whats left of my once proud sword. I assume the stance of Hadanse(hilt is placed a fist above my forehead) and wait for the strike in my most mobile of foot positions. One chance, to get one cut, at the last second.
Pushing off the ground, I engulf my sword in flames as I draw back from the hit. CLANG! Again, blade against blade, only, mine is no longer there. All that is left is the fire I surrounded the sword in, the remnants of the steel are now glittering shards. Turning to run back to the first cut steel. I tumble and grasp the edge in my hand, a vice-grip of life or death. Again I lash out the strongest cut I have to offer, and again my blade shatters. Falling back now, my vision starts to have spots appear. As i force conciseness into my body. I begin surrounding myself in waves of fire. Placing my hands in a ki center I spin a full 360 degrees and lash my hands out in a palm strike at the open air towards my attacker. A fiery inferno of a wall lunges out, forcing "him" far back into the forest away from here.
A now half charred forest stood in front of me. Shattered steel laid around me, and I grabbed the hilt and sheath of my sword and sprinted all the way to the the Cathedral, in the city. The city of C'atha

Sanctification, and Gloryfication

2007-03-12T15:26:00.000-06:00

Emyrs, as odd of a person that he was. had a good sense of righteousness. His presence emanates a holy feeling. when we reached town, which according to his words. was close, but his idea of close was a good distance hike away. nor was it a small town as i had imagined. it was a flourishing city, filled with curiosities that could compel me for years. the varying shops and peoples. I was lead to a cathedral looking building, near the northern head of the city. when i entered Emyrs quickly shuffled me to the side had said, "Not a word to anyone, if they ask. you are demon being purified, but you must try to stay silent." turning to lead me to the black enclave, I was whisked away. My largest surprise that day, was just around this corner.
"FANG!" i cried, upon seeing my friend whom i presumed dead. "If your here, does that mean the others are too!" I am barely able to stutter out.
His head dropped, "No, I'm sorry Koen, but...I dont know."
"Well, at least I know your alive, that helps"
At this point, Emyrs is panicking, and his sentence is just barely audible, "You..You know his eminence? Is this blasphemy? My sire, how do you know such a cursed person?"
As Fang and I explained the story. Tears begin to stream do Fangs' face, not of happiness, and they may never cry for happiness, but of sadness. Emyrs had just told Fang that my wings were to be removed. By Fangs powers. "I...I dont know if I will be able to." He seethes, trying not to rage, "but if it is your will, I will do my best to see to your wishes. Our wings seem to of attain us a fate. Mine of the faith, and yours of sorrow, but never mind that. I will now remove your wings." a pause, "brace yourself"
Drawing one of his daggers, Fang muttered something inaudible, then slowing began to slice through the flesh, then a sudden rip. The city grew deaf to me, as my yells for it to end overwhelmed the large sound of the city-life.
----------
upon waking the next morning, I found myself lying on my back, but there was no pain in my wings, feeling back. All the memories flooded back to me, and a waves of pain overtook my body, But as I felt my back, there were no stumps of the wings as I thought there would be, smooth, smooth fresh skin was there. A few hours later I finally got up, and went in search of Fang, and Emyrs. Now, running, without my wings. It seriously sucks, dont know how people can stand it. its not nearly as fun.
well anyways, I found them at the "catherdral" place, and we began to figure a way to convince Emyrs to come with us to find everyone.

and i gotta go, Fangs yellin at me again to help.

-Koen

Emyrs

2007-03-03T11:24:00.000-06:00

the next morning i had decided to approach the cottage. upon reaching the door, and knocking on it. a voice called from the other side of the door. "if though hast purity, in any way, you may enter. if though hast impurity in total. Flee swiftly whilst you still have time"
not caring for whatever the voice had just said. i entered. greeting whomever, "hello, my name is Koen, you now have my name, may i have yours?" to one of the larger surprises it was a boy, who looked not much older than i am.
"INFIDEL! though has purity in any way, thou is a liar! what demonic curse is upon you. or has spawned you. i shall end you now!" he cries as he arms himself with a bastard sword and a intricate shield. lunging out as to finish me before a fight has even begun.
A flurry a strikes that i quickly avoided by flying up. and now drawing my sword. this'll be fun as i fly down as fast as i can lashing out a string of attacks.
after about an hour, he called out "your form is horrible, if thou is a demon, i would now have been bested. so thou must be under some form of curse or possession.
"i am of neither, tell me your name and i will tell you my story." his name was Emyrs. I told him of how it began, and what i lost, then gained but lost again. and the confusion of what happened.
"I will help you, for you see, in this world. your wings are a curse to you. Wish for me to remove them, and it shall be so."
my main way of getting around. helpful but a curse nonetheless. a "gift" from the lab, that i wanted nothing to do with. "yes, i wish to have some sense of normalcy"

there on in, its me and Emyrs an unlikely group a pure and a enigma.
well he told of a town not far from here, so we headed to it. walking, how i forgot about it.

-Koen

simply. wow.

2007-02-26T20:06:00.000-06:00

well, first after going into this gateway, it was insane, a world that i thought only in books. I entered into a lush forest full of life. and beautiful forests, glowing down to a limpid pool of aquamarine emerald water. the sky was not blue but a pale green with a teal-blue tinge. something unimaginable. i decided to camp out near the lake, in a tree obviously(safety purposes) After I had roused, i wandered through the forest. to find a small cottage. i left it alone that day, but still i had found nothing this day. besides that cottage.

the gateway.

2007-02-19T21:57:00.000-06:00

After pondering how to get myself into the Lab, again. I decided to frankly charge in and go straight to the "arch." Doing so, i found myself, on the other side of the arch. In a final fit of rage., finding that my only idea of hope was destroyed. i lashed out at the closest thing. (this being the massive archway) my hand crushing into the walled surface. Grimacing i continue to press in.
*click*
the sound resonated throughout my ears. Instantly looking back at the "arch" which i had just punched. It was glowing, and thats the shorthand version. It actually gave off its own energy presence. looking around, i lunged into the newly "activated arch." don't remember much past that but ill go back into it tomorrow. it was pretty sweet looking, so ill keep you waiting.

-Koen

Red Dusk

2007-02-14T21:10:00.000-06:00

Yesterday was, well. a rather grievous day for the Lab. after thoroughly searching the Lab, and i mean thorough, as in any of those lycanthropes that got in my way, will not be joining us later. But still i found nothing. Only much i found out is that scientists are complete pansies. They are so rich, and speak so big, but have no spine.(one of them actually doesn't anymore)
Oh yeah, did i forget to mention that i figured out i can control and create fire. Pyrokinesis. its pretty sweet. i was able to summon up a ball of fire about the size of a house. and thats when i puked my guts out. but I'm still learning, so its ok. i also was able to engulf my sword in flames, and it helped, since it was more the fact is was energy residing on the edges of my katana.
Still...i have no idea where to go. the guys are still dead.NO they aren't!(my mind keeps telling me) or incapacitated in some way out there. preferably the later. I am still thinking that something has to do with that giant Archway thing in the courtyard of the Lab, it seems like a gateway, mostly because of its intricacy. Ill check it out tomorrow.

-Koen

A rescue, escape and loss

2007-02-11T21:12:00.000-06:00

we got inside the Lab (Fang and I) as i said before, its really creepy. so its scarier going in it, than just thinking about it. after about an hour after midnight, we got in, walking down the long halls to get to the area where the "patients" were held. We found Alanna and Sophie, and they were accompanied by a shorter, highly attractive girl. she had brown hair, and blue eyes, about 5foot 3inches. slightly tan skin. she garbed herself in baggy clothing. "Who's this?" I asked Alanna.

"Her name is Aasera, we don't know much about her. since she came in after we did."

"Ok then, lets get moving" ordered Fang.

Again, we went to the "armory" room that Fang and I found. Scrounging about we found a staff for Sophie, Alanna preferred to grab a pair of knuckle-buster gloves, Aasera came back to us with a pair of kodachi(slightly shorter than a short sword, but the width is less.)
so anyways, it took us about a half-hour to get out. and right now, were camped out about two miles from the complex. catching some sleep.

when we woke, actually when i awoke. i looked around. to find that everything was perfectly upturned and catastrophic, and to add to that. there were trails of blood leading off in multiple directions. Oh God no! let them not be dead. But every sign direction showed death, no one could lose that much blood and live. I'm all alone now... just me, as it was in the beginning... no.Damn it! NO! tears now streaming down my face. They can't leave me now. We just got out! DAMN IT! Everything was going smooth, we were going to go to some place in California, and live a smooth some-what normal life. Screaming now "WHY NOW!!" I ran through the forest and cut down everything in my path. until i came to an old tree. Which i could not cut in one slash. I began to hack at it, venting my frustration. Tears blotting my vision, as I fall back from exhaustion.

the next morning, I flew to the one place that I might find the answers. That one gateway. That kept appearing in papers we found at the Lab. So flew straight to the Lab.

-Koen

Inside

2007-02-07T16:21:00.000-06:00

I got inside the Lab. A large scientific complex, blueish-green tiles, with a very eery asylum-like appearance. Large iron doors, that go to who knows where, and cages with other experiments everywhere. I wasn't able to find the girls, but i have an idea that, the big elaborate arch out in the courtyard is more than decoration. Since a scientific laboratory has no need for artistic flair.

The lab has many complex halls, and stairwells, with many cages in most of the rooms. It is a five level structure.(above ground), and I'm guessing at least 3 levels below ground. a very plain box-building outside.

thats about all i can think of for explaining it, hope your mind handles the rest.

-Koen

brief overview--for those of you who are confused

2007-02-05T18:08:00.001-06:00

Fang-Long(as in maybe to his waist) white hair, 6'4". blue eyes. Tall and Lean, with white angelic wings hovering behind him. (thats about all i can say to describe him)

Me(Koen)- neck length black hair with red streak highlights(unruly, and downwardly spiked) 6'0'. somewhat broad shoulders. misty-Grey eyes, scar in the shape of a flame on my right hand and cheek. and black demonic looking wings on my back.

Alanna- as of the moment, were not sure, but she has brown hair, about 5',7' blue eyes. small structure, but well built.

Sophie- 5', 5", green eyes. black hair with blue highlights. smaller structural build

-----------------------------------------
and now, I'm pretty sure that I'm going insane. i almost flew into multiple cliff faces. i could have sworn that it was an open clearing. on a lighter note. Fang and I got right outside The Lab. and we are developing a plan for getting in.

at that night, i took a pocket knife. wanting all the pain in my head to go away. i couldn't take it anymore. I knew that they wanted me. So why not give them a major disappointment. delving the knife into my forearm, slicing across. i hissed in pain, as to not wake Fang. Three strokes for luck. ah, not as bad as before. with my mind focused on the physical pain. i was able to stair up at the stars. letting it all drift away, lulling myself to sleep in slow relaxing breaths.

I had awoken in a jolt. Forgetting the actions from the previous night. Readjusting my long black coat, pulling up my hood, and raising my green coats collar, hiding the lower half of my face. I woke up Fang. and told him to help me figure out an idea to get in.

and here we are trying to make a plan...

-koen

Well...

2007-01-31T21:18:00.000-06:00

its taking longer than we thought, we got stopped by lycanthropes. Four of them. Three times we were stopped. So i am guessing they have an idea of magic. Four-number of seasons, and winds. Three-trinity, pyramid, wiccan rule of three. I'm figuring they actually were lycan's not just either hairy, wolf-like guys, or guys in wolf costumes. on a lighter note, i found some nice new music that helps me calm down, and relax. Final Fantasy is really nice music.

Alanna and Sophie are still prisoners of the lab, and its been one week. Anything could of happened to them.

we got there...finally

2007-01-30T22:21:00.000-06:00

so after two days of driving, constantly(we all traded off, it was fun driving, same for fang-we didn't know how) but we got to Sophie's apartment. It was really sort of messy, but no real major complaints. After she had fainted at when Fang and I took off our long coats, revealing our wings. So yeah, Sophie helped teach Fang basic necessities of life, while Alanna and I went shopping for supplies, clothes, and some wants. I started missing home, going to the store with my friends. Buying some candy and soda, as we joked around. Hanging around at the park nearby. Then it struck me. Fang never even experienced those things. Alanna is with me in this, that we might never see it again, so we gotta give Fang those memories, and now. We were dragging Sophie into this, I couldn't stand it. I had to do something to stop it, but i don't know what. Unless, its just me they want, but i have to protect Alanna and Fang.

The next morning Fang woke me up from a deep sleep, he was panicking, which i haven't seen him do, ever. So something was wrong. We find out that Alanna AND Sophie are gone. By the looks of the apartment., they didn't just get up and leave. the door was ripped open. It actually was ripped of the hinges. So we are now, heading back to the one place we know where they are. The Lab.(we didn't like the cell, sounded too creepy) Leaving the car, we are in full pursuit, flying all the way down. Very, very fast.

-Koen

Well...Alanna has a friend

2007-01-29T21:04:00.000-06:00

So while were driving, Alanna turned to tell me something that scared me beyond belief. Were stopping at her friends house! Now why we would do this. Who knows? Fang tells me that someone's catching up on us. We saw a car follow us for a while on the highway. So I'm thinking that thats them. The people from the lab complex(we decided to call The Cell, because thats what most of it was) Fang also was able to swipe so papers. They didn't explain much, except maybe that theres a gateway somewhere in Ireland, and that its really important. It was smudged, which got me pissed royal, since it got me interested. Anyway, were on our way to an anonymous person, whom only Alanna knows. So well...I'm concerned. Since i have to protect Alanna, AND Fang(whose probably fine, but I still need to)

-Koen

the gist of it and then on the run

2007-01-28T19:43:00.000-06:00

I got out. it was weird, where they took me, it was like a huge lab complex. i got caged up next to someone who looked about seventeen. only difference was that he had wings(like an angel), well at least i think. they werent connected to him though, more like eirily hovering behind him. i found out that he was my age and that his name was Sven. we talked about what was going on. i also found out that he never knew any family, only remember growing up in this building. being victim to the wierd experiments these scientist placed on him. i would explain the details, if they hadnt caused me to puke. so anyways. Sven(whom we decided to call Fang, from his choice) and I thought of an idea.
By this time it was about three weeks since I had been free. Ever since i changed. during an experiment, i heard them mentioning fusion of creatures. this scared me so much, yet as that thought entered my mind i fell uncounscous. When Iwoke up my back ached beyond belief, until Fang told me not to be alarmed. my find focused on whatever it could be that would alarm me. until he said, "dude, look at your back."
Upon instict i wasnt worried until i turned my head. seeing a pair of evil-looking wings. I screamed so loud. "WHAT THE HELL!?" followed by me fainting. Over a week, I was able to get used to the wings.
"Yeah, it took me a while to get used to them, but at least they didnt change your hair." fang replied cooly. "I can make it spike and its stronger than anything, or so i figure."
When he said that, an idea popped into my mind. His hair can be stronger than anything, we can get out of here. After explaining my plan to Fang, we waited till night. Using his hair to cut open our cages. Stage one:complete. Now to my sword.
We ran through the halls. Looking for something to register in a thought or idea. Finally, we found it, a sign. Swiftly reading it said INVENTORY CONTAINMENT AND MISCELLANIOUS, ROOM 673. "It's a start." Fang whispers.
A few minutes of wandering down halls checking the number. Until, yes. We found it. Grasping the doornob. I curse,"locked."
"No problem here" Fang says, already slicing it with his hair.
Inside, we found my sword, and even more. Supplies, and two knives for Fang. Finally, we can get out of this hellhole.
Using our supplies, which happen to include an old bomb. You know, those fuse-action ones from video games. We blew a hole in the wall, and chancing our lives. We tried to fly off, and it worked! We went straight to Katie. She needed to know, and now here we are. Running for our lives. Currently Driving. Katie(whom we nicknamed Alanna, from her favorite book),Fang, and I. Using Alanna's laptop, and car. We fled.

OH MY GOD!!!!!

so from where i left off. i had slept around the remnants of my house for a few days. thinking what I'm going to do. i was able to salvage my i-pod. so i mulled things over to some music. when i had heard a crash, from the surrounding area. know that there weren't any houses too close. the only thing that came to mind....run. i ran straight to her house. i was able to get in and make this portion. i don't know if my story will continue past here, but there is definitely something out there following me, but i must take flight from here. the longer i stay, the more i put those few left that i hold dear to me in danger, and that i cant have on my conscious. whatever is chasing me though...i don't think its human. least, wholly human.

Flight-noun

1.	an act or instance of fleeing or running away; hasty departure.

very fitting eh? interesting too.

everything just didn't work. my house was burned down, everyone died. except myself....being able to save my families sword i fell into a subconscious state. it kinda sucked. alot. anyways, i now have a burn mark on my right cheek and hand. they look kinda like tattoo's so its not too bad. only problem. I'm 14 YEARS OLD! and so my journey begins. to figure what the hell is going on.
