Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous KilljoysA Chapter by Sarah Elise Valente-ComptonMy first chapter enjoyThe more I think about it the more
I feel I am dying on the inside. The thought of being alone scared the hell out
of me, it has always just been me and my older sister until… the draculoids ("Draculoids"
and exterminators, such as Korse from the S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W Unit). I was all
alone until 1 year ago today… I was walking down a long deserted
road, when a radio broadcast started to play from a shop window. I’ve heard it
once before from a distance it... gave me new hope.” The person who was broad
casting said The future is bulletproof The aftermath is secondary It's time to
do it now and do it loud KIlljoys make some noise!”, It made me wonder if there
were other people like me struggling to carry on. I walked on I made to this unfamiliar,
dessert I thought “well is this f*****g great!”
I trudged on through what seemed a continuous desert. I swallow it felt like I had just swallowed
glass I was so thirsty. In the distance I saw a couple of buildings I thought I
might be hallucinating so I walked right past when all of a sudden I felt a
sharp, painful stun to my leg… I had been shot by a Draculoid! Everything fades to black and I see
my sister she is calling me over I am running towards her and crying out “
RAAVEEN TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!” When all of
a sudden a cold white light wakes me up. I see two girls probably a year or two older
then myself (I am 19). In front of me is a girl with blonde hair and has a
bandana over her mouth and another girl with long brown hair tied back in a
ponytail. I start to try to move my hand but I can’t they were tied up, a few
seconds later I hear one of the girls say “hey she is coming to” I see the two
of them running towards me. I look at my
leg my jeans were cut off just above my knee and my bag was half way across the
room I was in. The girl with blonde hair tried talking to me but I was slipping
in and out of conscious. When I fell asleep this time I didn’t see my sister I
saw the Draculoids taking my only family away, I remember trying to stop them
but I… I just stood there motionless scared as my older sister screamed “RUN!!
RUN SCOUT!! DON’T LOOK BACK!!” as
reality sets in I broke from my horrible memories, relived, yet sad. I wake up on a blanket in a dark
room I try to get up but my leg hurts so badly I let out a cry of pain. A few
seconds later the blonde girl rushes in and says “ It is ok your leg just needs
a night of healing so take it easy, My name is Wolfblood Static Monster but you
can call me Wolfblood… What’s yours?” I took a few minutes to respond because I
was getting my head straight. I respond by saying “ Scout…” she looked shocked
and said “ WE DON’T USE “real names” we use nick names” it made sense her name
is Wolfblood. I think about what I should be called and I blurted out
“Toxicfun!” it for some strange reason it reminds me of Raven. The next morning I stand up and my leg feels
a lot better but I still have a stinging pain I walk out of my room and down
the hall and see Wolfblood talking to other people one girl and one boy. When I come in complete silence
falls upon the room, the awkward silence is broken Wolfblood says “this is
Disenchanted destiny you can call her Disenchanted, and this is Lostboy” I walk
over and sit down. Lostboy seems like
the oldest and the one who takes charge Disenchanted asks “Hey what’s your
story?” I say “well my sister was taken and now I am here…” I felt that there was
not much else I could say. Lostboy
starts to assaign jobs “Wolfblood, you get nooby over here situated and Disenchanted
guard the place we don’t want another accident like yesterday, and I will go
get supplies” Lostboy left. Wolfblood took
me through the small shack with two back rooms and one main room with little furniture. She showed me the room I was
sleeping in before and she said “this is where we sleep!” I saw four blankets
laid out across the floor and my bag! I run towards it and open it inside I
find a picture of my sister and all my spare clothing gone “where are my
clothing!!” Wolf blood says “Oh, Pixiedust is washing them!” I thought ‘Pixiedust?’
I was just glad my sister’s picture was untouched! © 2013 Sarah Elise Valente-ComptonAuthor's Note
