A Twisted World

(Don't know what I can put for this)

PROLOGUE (This was rushed ^-^ Part two will be more better. Both in sentence structure and paragraphing )

Living in a world full of Ghouls, Demons and your occasional ‘FRIENDLY’ neighbourhood  Monster. Hearing about a crime-scene just a street away from your house- or better yet just next door, Isn’t really shocking or intimidating. It’s more like getting a ticket in a grocery store to wait in line, and when you hear about a murder that happened down the road, that's more like being able to cut in front of the line. Except, the only thing you get from that, is a one way ticket to Limbo or Valhalla or wherever you believe in. But one thing’s for sure, you do NOT want to go there by dying from one of these Monstrosities. I hear that the Ghouls will break your ankles and your wrists and then watch as you desperately crawl away before taking a huge bite out  of your head. And that the Demons grab you by the throat and slowly burn you alive starting from the feet then they keep your Ashes for who knows what. And don’t even get me STARTED on the monsters, all that’s needed to know is they stalk you for months even years before deciding to reveal themselves.

CHAPTER 1 : A FALL FROM GRACE

“Jacob! Stop telling Bella about the Ghouls she’s getting nightmares” Mum yells from Bella’s room “It’s not my fault she decided to watch the news!” I yell back. Then I heard Bella’s voice, as she probably defended my case, knowing her. Bella was about 2 years old when the world became a lump of death and horror so she wasn’t really affected... she was too young to remember anything tragic. Like when our dad was taken by some of the Ghouls on the day of the break out.

“H-hey jacob..” Bella said standing by my door sobbing. “Hey, hey what’s wrong, why the sad face” I asked. “M-mum yelled at m-m-meee” she wailed still standing at the door. “Oh... Come here sit down” I call to her trying to talk over her voice while gesturing her to come sit next to me. She started walking towards the bed then sat down beside me, with tears still streaming down her face.

“Hey, how old are you?” I asked, after hearing this she stared at me confused.

“Y-you should know, you were at my birthday” she said frowning.

“I know, I just wanted to get a…. A refresher?” I replied  

“Fine” she let out a small laugh “I’m 14”

“Oh really?’’ I said.

“Then that means you’re a big kid now right?”

“I-I guess so… why?”

I took in a deep breath “Then why are you crying?” I said putting my hands on my head “isn’t that for babies?” I said closing my eyes but leaving one slightly open to see her reaction. Sure enough she punched me lightly on the stomach. “You jerk” she laughed.

“There you go, no more tears, okay?” I said lowering my hands.

There was silence for a couple of seconds “Why does she hate us?” she said in a shaky voice.

“Hey, what are you talking about, she doesn’t hate us”  

“Then why doesn’t she want to hang out with us, why doesn’t she want to talk to us often and why-” I pulled her in for a hug to try and stop her from overthinking

“I.. I just don’t understand” she said, this time she couldn’t hold back her tears and just cried. “It’s ok… Mum is just…. She’s just going through a tough time right now, but it’ll be ok, I’m here”

We stayed that way for a while and before I knew it she was sound asleep. She looks so peaceful. It sucks that she was brought into this world in its current state…  I started to get up carrying her on my back. While I’m making my way to the door I hear Mum walking down the hallway. Mum poked her head through the doorway “Oh thank goodness, she was with you” she said relieved. “Uh-huh” I said still tired “You know… she thinks you hate us” “What!? I would never-” before she could finish I brush past her and start heading towards my Sisters room. “Yeah, but when you're out and about, not answering her questions and not even asking her how her day was” I stopped before entering. “You know that I know you're doing your best out there in the agency but…..  She needs her mother, you don’t know how it hurts her…. But anyway I’ll take care of your paperwork so that you can spend some time with her, maybe you could cook up some dinner and we can finally eat together as a family for once….”

And with that I opened the door of Bella’s room and put her on her bed. I switched on her night light and made for the door - she doesn’t  like it when I’m in her room, well if ANYONE is in her room - I was about to close the door when I heard her start to wake up. “Here it comes” I say under my breath. “J-Jay?” Bella said sleepily, I tried to stay quiet in hopes that she wouldn’t notice me. “I know you're there, I can smell your breath from here” she mumbled. I knew that she was kidding but I didn’t want to upset her. “If you don’t show yourself I’ll storm into your room in the morning and dump cold water on you” she said a little bit angry this time. And she isn’t kidding. I remember when, she was about Five years old when this happened, but anyway, Mum had accidentally spilt sauce on Bella’s favourite toy car and after telling Bella the news….. Let’s just say that another “Toy” Car  got a paint job.

“Fine” I grumbled “But I’m really tired so can you make it quick?” I opened the door and stood at the entrance. I looked over at Mum who had started backing away trying not to make too much noise. This was because she doesn’t like dealing with “Baby Tantrums” as she calls it. “Come here for a second” Bella said. “Why?” “just do it” she frowned. I walked up to the bed. “Happy?” I said sarcastically “hmm, maybe a little to the right?” she said with a smirk. “Ha Ha, veeerry funny Bella” I said dryly. “Now what did you want?” “ummm, could you… maybe, sleep here tonight?” she asked “you're joking..” I laughed. “What? Can’t I ask my brother if he could stay with me for the night?” she said coldly “fine, fine, but if you try anything, I’m getting up and leaving” “What? I would never do anything to annoy you” she said mockingly. “Oh is that right, what about that time you threw a water balloon at me when I was still in uniform” I replied. “Oh that time, ummm… I wasn’t aiming at you?” she said trying to escape the situation. “And how about the time with Jess?” “Just get in the bed Lover boy” she retorted “ok I’m leaving” “Ahh no-no stay, I’m sorry” she shrieked. “Shhh why are you yelling?”

I said quietly trying to keep her quiet so that mum wouldn’t wake up. She falls asleep quickly.. “I’m scared” she said shakingly ”I’m scared okay? I know that Mum works in the agency, I was awake when you were talking to her, I’m scared that she’ll disappear like Dad… And... I’m scared that you’ll leave me too” she started to cry. “Hey, hey, come on that’s nonsense, we would never leave you” I said as she cried almost inconsolably. She was never one to cry not even when she was a baby, so seeing her like this is kind of a big deal. “Alright, move over I’m not leaving you to cry yourself to sleep”  I said softly “Really?” she said “you're not joking? You’ll stay?” “Yes, Yes now move” I said moving her over.

“Ever considered losing some weight” I said trying to get her a little mad “hey I’m not that fat, I mean no one can get that big anymore so..” she shifted over then grabbed my arm “YOU should have more muscle” she said snickering. “Yeah.. but where would the fun be in mocking you if you can’t say anything back?” I said pulling my hand away and laying down on the bed, well the EDGE of the bed. Not because there wasn’t any space, but because I didn’t want to be too close to her (I tend to move around alot while asleep).

When I woke up in the morning I was leaning over the edge of the bed as if I was about to fall off. Then I noticed that Bella had wrapped an arm around me and somehow stopped me from enduring the immense pain and suffering that follows a fall out of a bed that’s 3ft off the floor… I was grateful that I didn’t have to wake up with a headache though, or a bump on the forehead. I waited for 2 minutes or so, so I could wake up some more before trying to move up to the bed so I could lay down better, but, of course. As I was about to do that, Bella’s arm suddenly moved letting me go allowing me to fall to the ground… Head first by the way... So much for waking up without a headache. I groaned as I got up and looked at Bella who was now lying on her back with a cheeky smile pretending to be asleep. I just decide to ignore it and carry on with my day. I started off with the  early-morning routine, brushing my teeth, having a shower, changing, e.t.c. Then I walked into the kitchen wanting to make something to eat.

Mum had already gone to the agency so I didn’t get to make her breakfast like I usually do. That meant I just had to make myself and Bella something. Since it’s a Thursday I had to make her Pancakes and egg. We made a deal a year ago that I would make her this meal every thursday for breakfast IF she got a perfect score in her test for year 5. Sure enough she aced the test. I wasn’t too surprised by this since she was already a smart one, she just likes acting like she struggles in school. I can’t say the same for her teachers, friends and Mum, THEY were amazed at Bella’s results. The teacher almost fainted when she read out the results for the test and Mum even asked if she cheated! This was a joke though, Mum knows us too well to think we’d resort to dirty tactics just to seem smart. I let out a sigh as I thought about that day, she was never so determined to achieve something.

Well, enough stalling need to cook something up. I heated a pan on the stove and put  some butter into it to heat up. Then I made the pancake batter and poured it into the pan. I may have made more pancake mix then I really would’ve liked to use. But I guess it means I’m gonna be having pancakes for breakfast too. After finishing with cooking the pancakes I started preparing to make the eggs- ‘CRASH’ a loud sound came from the lounge as I reached for the eggs. I swerved around quickly, grabbed a kitchen knife and held it out in front my chest facing the hallway to the lounge. Bracing for a ghoul to start running down the hall.

How I know it’s a ghoul? Cause ghouls are the only ones that break into houses besides demons though, however demon's don’t let you hear their entrance. I stood as still as a building, gripping to the knife with all the strength I had, then I heard footsteps heading my way from the opposite direction (the one that leads to the rooms). Bella had woken up and was coming down the hall. “Damn it… not now” I thought to myself. “Morning” Bella said sleepily, she noticed the knife I had in my hand and her eyes widened, she ran behind me “what is it?” she whispered. “I’m not a hundred percent certain but I’m sure it’s a ghoul” I said not letting my gaze down, just waiting for the inevitable. “I want you to go back to your room... Now...” I finally said to her “lock the door and hide… and don’t come out until mom gets here” “Why?” she whispered sadly after a short pause. The ghoul had appeared at the end of the hallway “just so you can go and die?” Bella said gripping to my back. “Bella” “No! I won’t let you do it, you promised you wouldn’t leave me” Bella said cutting me off. The ghoul heard her and started towards us. “Bella now is really not a good-” I started to say, when the ghoul suddenly stood up right and was looking towards us… I knew ghouls were scary and all but… this one couldn’t stand completely straight because it was too tall, It was sniffing the air. Bella finally took note of how close the ghoul was and kept as quiet as she could…

The ghoul stopped sniffing and it’s eyes flared open when it caught our scent, the eyes just looked like two red glowing bulbs in its head. It stood upright and it’s mouth opened all the way down to it’s chest revealing it’s jagged rows of teeth. We could see a glowing light in its throat and it was getting brighter. I stared at it for awhile… maybe for abit too long, but I realized that the light was a type of luring technique and that every being of the apocalypse has a unique one. I reacted the moment I realised the danger… But it was too late, Bella was already mesmerized and had already collapsed to the kitchen floor. Taking note that the ghouls luring effect was quick, I made sure I didn’t look at the ghoul’s face and dashed towards it slashing wildly when I got in range. It stumbled backwards as I slashed its torso. The ghoul shut its mouth and leaped at me pinning me down and... *what?... I feel…* I look down to see one of its hands lodged into my stomach…

*This… This is how it ends?... And I didn’t even get to watch Bella grow up… Wait, I can’t die…. Not yet… Bella’s still unconscious, and if I die now she’ll… be next and…* I notice my right hand was free but my left was being pinned by the ghoul, the hand that was holding the knife… *I could… I could save Bella… I just need to…* I quickly move my right hand towards my left and grabbed the knife “If I’m going down...” I say to the ghoul then swung the knife across its throat “Then you’re coming with me!!” I shout as the ghouls’ Inky Blood sprayed around the hallway.

And with a loud screech the ghoul stood carrying me from the hole in my gut, staring me dead in the eye, INK flowing from its mouth. I saw its red glowing eyes start to fade, and as that happened it turned to its side, pulled me closer to the point where we were ear to ear and threw me across the hall hurtling towards the kitchen. *KRASH* My back slammed onto the fridge before I fell to the ground, Bella just inches away from where I was, *I don’t know how I’m still alive but, I’m glad that I at least did some damage* I looked up to see if the ghoul was still standing, and even if it was, I wouldn’t be surprised but… To my relief it was dead on the ground, I’ve done my part… Bella is safe, at least for now *Mom… you better get here quick* If there’s anything I’ve learnt in the academy it’s that ghouls hardly ever travel alone...

CHAPTER 2 : A MOURNING FOOL

Blood was pouring out of me quick, I couldn’t feel the pain however, I just felt empty. “Heh” I let out a small laugh, it hurt like hell. I stare at Bella who had started to wake up from the luring effect, she blinked rapidly then jumped to her feet, and looked around. (Forgetting to look behind her) she saw the ghoul and jumped in joy laughing “Jacob!! You did it!!” she spun around and saw me on the ground, her hands that were in the air started to crumple down, her face turned from joy to shock then to sadness, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground “wh-... I-I..” she stuttered. “H...How's it look?... Pretty cool?... O-Or p-pretty bad?” I said interrupting her thoughts. “W-why?” Bella whispered “How are you like this?” She said, now crying “W-well, I got stabbed then thrown across the….the room” I say threw grinding teeth, she opened her mouth about to say something then we heard the door unlocking, Bella looked up over the counter to see who was at the door.

“Bella? Who is it”  “Shhh!” she said shushing me “they haven’t opened the door yet” she whispered “alright...g-grab the knife… and hold it out above your opposite h-hand and-” “I know, I know, I go to the same academy and take the same- ” the door swung open stopping Bella from finishing her sentence “I’M HOME-” a familiar voice shouted “AHHHHHH” Bella screamed charging blindly towards the door “BACK! STAY BACK!!” was all I could hear from the doorway, I then heard the knife drop to the ground *No, she can’t, she isn’t* I think to myself.As thoughts of her being killed while I sit here dying not able to help, flood my mind “Please don’t hurt him” I heard Bella say with a trembling voice “He’s all I have-” “What do you mean?” the familiar voice asked Bella “Bella, open your eyes, it’s me” the Voice said again *thank goodness* I think to myself. It was mum. ”What have you two been doing, the house is a… Bella… Is that…” “Yes” Bella says immediately “J-Jacob took care of it but-” “Oh! He did?” mum replied surprised and relieved “ Wow, guess that academy does actually help with things like this. Anyway where is he?” and with that Bella was brought to tears “no….no no no no” mum said spastically. I heard a swish in the air as I saw Mum vault over the counter, landing in the trail of blood that I spilled when I was thrown, she followed the trail with her head and looked at me with a face of disbelief “Jacob!!” She yelled after seeing me “H-hey” I murmured, and in some way she heard me.

That brought her to the edge as she cupped her mouth with her hands and let the tears fall like a waterfall from her eyes “Ok,ok, ok” Mum said shaking her head furiously “He’s still alive, still breathing” she said to herself as she lowered her hands and started towards me. When she got to me she reached out and grabbed my shoulders “You’re gonna be alright Jacob, ok? You’re going to be just fine” she told me staring into my half-dead eyes. I could see the twinkling of  tears in the corners of her eye “Bella?” Mum called out “yes” came her reply as she poked her head around the corner of the counter “Can you get me the first aid and a sponge” mum said firmly trying to stay strong “mhm” Bella replied trying to stay strong too, but you could still hear the sadness in her voice “She’s a strong one isn’t she?” mum said, she turned to face me again “And I know you’re just as tough” she held my hand up “So do me a favour ok? Stay alive, I know it looks bad, but these are wounds i’ve learnt to heal thanks to the agency, but I only know how to stop it from killing you, we’ll have to head to the agency to finish the rest, so please… Stay alive…. for Bella” She said staring at me sobbing. If I wasn’t crying already this definitely got me. “F....F....F-for….Bella” I say just barely moving my lips, and just barely staying conscious.

“Heh, alright tough guy, be quiet now, I need to patch you up” she said laying a hand on my right cheek. Bella came rushing down the hall and towards mum “Here, i-is that all?” she said puffed “Yes Bella, thank you” mum said in a calm and soft voice. She opened the first-aid and grabbed a vial filled with glitter “W-what’s that?” Bella said, she was studying my wounds as she said this *I’m surprised you haven’t puked yet* I thought to myself. Mum took the vial and held it in the palm of her left hand then covered it with the right, took a deep breath then exhaled into a gap in her hands, the vial emitted a bright yellow light which faded after a couple of seconds then she moved her right hand away and looked at the vial, the glitters in the vial had turned into a shimmering yellow powder “H-how did you do that?” Bella asked astonished by what she had just seen “It’s a ghosting technique called *Masking* all I did was dispel it” Mum answered opening the vial and throwing it in the hole on my stomach “OK, that should stop the bleeding, now Bella, wanna help with patching him up?” mum said turning and handing her a Bandaid stack “Yes, what should I do?” Bella said grabbing the stack with determination in her voice. I wish I could say something but I couldn’t seem to get the words out without losing consciousness. “Ok, I’ll apply the cream and when I’m done you bandage around his torso” Mum said firmly, I saw Bella hesitate when she said that “Alright” she finally said.

Mum began putting the cream around my wound, it hurt a lot but I ignored it, it's tolerable. “Bella, you mind talking to Jacob while I do this?” Mum said stopping with what she was doing “I know it’s a little tough to talk to him when he’s in this state but he’s in a lot of-” “H-hey Jacob… remember when we were little an-and I messed up bad in the Academy’s gym class?” Bella said before Mum could finish her sentence, she nodded at Bela then got started back on her foundation “And the class Bully made fun of me and got his friends to beat me up during Lunch?” Bella continued. I remembered what she was talking about, It was the third day in the academy for her, I’d already been there for 3 to 4 weeks. “Well they found me at lunch, sitting alone at the Agility course watching you fly threw it like it was nothing… they snuck up behind me and took me to a corner of the school and started pushing me around, punching and kicking” Bella stopped and started tearing up. I remember that day but I don’t recall her telling me that she was harmed “Th-then someone threw a can at one of their heads… it was you… and when they turned around you said ‘Sorry, my hand slipped’ heh heh” Bella was just falling apart with the words, she could only whisper ”you sounded so ‘cool’ then they said ‘Sod off top of the class this doesn't concern you’ y-you leaned over saying ‘I think it-’ then you saw me on the ground with a ripped nanosuit, in tears and you just went blank”.

Mum froze when she heard this but kept applying the foundations albeit a little slower “I remember you pointing at them and saying in this really pissed off voice ‘know who that is...bud?’..... ‘the new kid? What? is that your love interest”’ One of the bigger guys said and you… Charged at them so fast taking down the first like he wasn’t even there, knocking the second -the biggest of the group- down like a piece of paper and just to clarify you’ve been in the air this whole time, You landed on your feet then glared into the remaining fours eyes and simply said without blinking ‘That’s my little sister your messing with’ then taking 2 or 3 steps forward ‘And because it’s my little sister’ ” Bella stopped sounding like she had been crying but the continuous falling of tears said she was still mourning. I don’t remember much about beating the bullies up or whatever, and I don’t remember saying that stuff either, but it does seem familiar.  “Bella” Mum said after she had done the foundations “It’s done, you can bandage his outsides” “mhm” Bella replied with just that and unwrapped the bandage and started wrapping it around my torso “anyway… you grabbed their big shot leader by the throat and held him up in the air ‘I get to hurt you…. No…. KILL you’ you said while looking at the other guy who had cupped his hands over his mouth crying ‘s-s-so-sorry’ the guy you were holding said, you just laughed and threw him to the wall next to his friend ‘too late for that…. Buddy’ he hit the wall and fainted from the impact. You left the other guy alone and made for me”.

Bella had finished her 4th or 5th cycle around me and looked me in the eye while plastering the end of the bandage on me. Eyes twinkling from the rising sun’s reflection of her tearful eyes “You had calmed down completely, reached a hand out and asked ‘Are you alright’ I took your hand and you lead me out to the agility course, picked me up and took me to the highest building, we sat down on the ledge and you said ‘You know? Someday you’ll save this world’ ‘what do you mean me? I can barely do a quarter of the gym’s beginner course’ after hearing that you got up and walked to the side and pointed across the city with the sunset’s light shining over it. You said ‘you’ll get there… and i’ll help you… then you’ll save everyone and defeat the monstrosities the apocalypse doomed us with’ then you looked back at me with the kindest eyes ‘And i’ll be with you every step of the way, picking you up when you fall. And scolding you when you give up’ ” Bella put her hands on my shoulders “You know something Jacob? I believe what you said. That you’ll be there every step of the way… and how can you be there if you do stuff like this?” She started crying “I don’t want that to be one of the last memories I have of us being together and actually getting along” Mum put her hand on Bella’s shoulder and put her head on her other shoulder “So please Jay” Bella continued. The sun’s light  filled the room.

“Stay alive!!” both Bella and mum say in synch. Tears in their eyes. I could feel the sorrow in their eyes. I could see the hope in Bella’s. The determination in Mum’s…  *I wish it didn’t have to be like this* I thought to myself *Wish I didn’t have to see them like this* “Ok, Ok, Bella… we gotta get him to the Agency” Mum said. The sounds were blurring and I saw black borders covering my eyes as I lose my vision…

CHAPTER 3 : THE TRUTH

No sounds. Nothing to see. I feel awake, but at the same time I feel asleep, I can’t open my eyes or at least I don’t think I can….

It’s been about an hour and my hearing is kicking in, I hear beeping and people talking beside me and one sobbing on the other side of me. My feeling is coming back too, flexing my hands and moving my feet I open my eyes to blinding light, squinting I try sitting up. “He’s up!!” came a voice and the sobbing had stopped. “Call her in, let her know her son’s awake!”. A deep voice shouted from the other end of the room. “Wh-what’s” I say trying to get their attention. I don’t think any sound really got through the loud footsteps or the chatter, then a hand touched my stomach and felt cold, it was a rather small hand. My vision was still a bit blurred so I couldn’t tell who it was, the person who had their hand on my stomach started softly laughing, a happy and relieved laugh “You made it” the person said, my vision cleared and I could see a black dress and a hat, in the other hand of the Person was a Bouquet of white roses.

The person moved their hand away and got up onto the bed, knelt next to me and hugged me. “You know? Giving the cold shoulder to someone that helped save your life is a real jerk move” the person said quietly, It took awhile but I did already know it was none other than Bella. “Yeah… sorry, I’m just a bit dazed” I said.. She then got off the bed and sat back on the couch letting me stretch. The door swung open and a blur ran through and spear tackled me down. It was mum! Picking me back up she brought me in for a hug sobbing and crying. “I knew it!!! I knew it, I knew it!!!” she said rocking back and forth with me suffocating in the hug “mum calm down you’re gonna suffocate me!!” I say trying to break free.

“Ah, sorry” Mum said, loosening her grip. “I just knew you were still alive, you just needed time” she said smiling gleefully. Mum stopped smiling and jabbed my left arm lightly, but enough to hurt. “Bella was worried sick, why did you have to take so long?” “Well it’s not like, I got a choice to just wake up after what~ ” I stopped. Remembering what happened to me not too long ago. I patted around my stomach and didn’t find any hole or large crater in me “yeah, we got you all patched up so don’t worry about it” mum said after noticing me searching for my wounds. “Wha…..how?” “I tell you later, but for now….I’m a show you little ones around” “YOU WILL!!” Bella shouted excitedly. “Yup, got permission from the higher ups to show you kids around, tell you about the strengths and weaknesses of some breeds of ghoul and demon, you know…. The good stuff”. Mum finished and stared at me weirdly “What?” I ask suspicious. “Huh? Oh nothing… come now let’s begin” Mum waved as she got up and made for the door. Bella following behind throwing the bouquet to the side. I moved my leg off the bed and jump off, my legs gave way when I landed and forced me to brace onto the side of the hospital bed. “Jacob!!” Mum yelled holding me up. “How did you get here so~” “That’s not important, are you okay?” Mum said interrupting my thoughts “I’m fine… why are you guys wearing black dresses… more importantly, you’re wearing dresses?” I said balancing myself “w-...we” Bella Began to say “We thought you didn’t survive the revival program” Mum said putting me on the bed.

“You’d been out for several months….. The process usually takes just 1 or 2” Mum reached for a  letter from her suit “They were gonna stop your life support” she turned the letter around “This was the letter they gave to the people in charge of A.I marines… they were gonna turn you into a robot” Mum said then ripped the letter into pieces faster than I could blink “Heh… they really are heartless huh?” I mused “Well I guess so... But what does that make me?” Mum laughed “C’mooon, let’s gooooo!!! I wanna see the Agencyyyy!” Bella said dragging me off the bed and pulling mum’s hand “fine, fine. On with the tour!!” Mum yells out jumping over Bella.

Mum lead us around through the maze which was the Agency. We went through the training area which was littered with pulse rifles and some other devices… also blades, knives, swords and anti-air missiles for… demons? “Pretty cool isn’t it?” Mum mused “that’s an understatement” Bella said. I spot a person holding a bunch of daggers in their left hand and a handful of shurikens in the other, the person was wearing a  blacked out helmet and a suit of armour that was also black, it had neon blue lines going around the helmet and armour “Hey what’s up with that guy? He some sort of training bot?” “No, he’s one of the Valkyrie units that we normally send out on the field when we can’t handle a certain enemy… And nowadays, that happens too often” Mum says nodding to the Valkyrie unit. The Valkyrie dashed towards the test bots, four in total, one was a demon, two were goliath class Monsters and the other two look like golem class Ghoul’s.

“What’s he doing?” Bella asks Mum “Training” “Isn’t that more like a full out battle? And he doesn’t have the weapons for it” I say looking at the approaching Swarm. “Nope, what he’s using is too much weapons…you see-” Mum explained. The Valkyrie began his charge dashing straight for the Ghouls. Jumped onto the head of the first one and stab two daggers on the front and back of the Ghouls head and spun. “Valkyries aren’t necessarily human or monster, demon or even ghoul-” Mum continues, the Valkyrie leaped into the air and the second Ghoul had missed its attack and instead slammed the other Ghoul down, killing it.

The Valkyrie landed on the ground and… what? In a flash he was already hanging on the back of a Monster, the Valkyrie applied weight to his hands and slid down its back dragging the daggers down with him. Landing on the ground he threw Three of the five shurikens at the demon’s head, two landed in its  eyes and one on the forehead stopping the pulse blast it had been preparing “Valkyrie’s are-” Mum says but stops to think, the Valkyrie dodged attacks from the Ghoul like it was nothing.. Leaped over the two monsters… I mean over the ONE Monster, the other died from the Ghoul’s attacks as it tried to take the Valkyrie out, noticing this, the Valkyrie dashed towards the demon who was shooting blindly into the ground around it, the Valkyrie threw a dagger at the demon’s mouth and it burst through the other side, then he ran past the Ghoul and…. teleported? Up to its head, sliced it in half and leaped for the monster and Kicked its head clean off its body “The Apocalypse bought on certain creatures into our world which we split into ‘Factions’  *Ghoul* *Monster* and *Demon* in those factions there are ‘classes’ *Goliath* being the strongest *Golem* being stronger than the Goliath class but dummer. And finally *Apex* Which is usually the King of a group if not the whole faction… the rest are just troops” Mum says opening her eyes looking at the Valkyrie as he jumped on the fallen demon and cut its head off before holding it to his side, staring at the timer…

In only half a minute, the creatures were slain “But there’s one Faction that is hardly mentioned…. They are half breeds… meaning Half-Monster or Half-Ghoul and Half-Demon…. ” Mum says with a slight bit of caution in her voice, a Hatch opened in the roof letting sunlight into the room followed by the sounds of a helicopter coming in over the top of the Valkyrie “They’re known as” The helicopter let out a bunch of red smoke over the Valkyrie who is looking at us “Ghosts” Mum finished  and as she said that the smoke disappeared and so did the Valkyrie, the helicopter started to leave and that was it…

….TO BE CONTINUED….

A Twisted World : Anarchy

I couldn’t control my breathing Bella couldn’t move and Mum was unconscious “Jacob…. Run… don’t worry about us…. If you die here…. Everything would have been for nothing” Bella says. “NO! I’m not gonna do that not now… Not ever” I yell back “Jacob… just do it… please” Bella cried. My breathing became heavy, My hands became fists and my vision blurred. *Bella… mum… I’m sorry* I thought to myself as my vision reddened and my stomach growled. Our predator was near. I could hear its footsteps. I turned and the sight of it made my mouth drool ”Jacob?” I heard Bella say… But I wasn’t listening... “Your a Goliath class aren’t ya?” A voice said escaping my mouth. I crack my knuckles and started to feel the rage kicking in “You’ve had your fun….” I say to it. I lance towards it and grip onto its back lifting myself to its ear “Now…  It's MY turn” I then Bare my teeth and tighten my grip. I felt the Demon’s skin turn cold, I had struck fear into it….
