All I Want – Chapter 1

Weee. So, I started a story, this is my first one so don’t be harsh. >_>;; Yes Manda, this means I WIN THE BET. HAHAHAA.. >_< Anyways..

The story is about a guy named Gary (IT’S THE MOST CREATIVE NAME I COULD THINK OF, OKAY? >_> D). In generalization terms, he’s considered a Hunter. & the story takes place in many areas, if I don’t list it, it probably has a better description. AND ON TO THE STORY NOW. I fear talking too much will make you run away.. <_<

———————————–

     The sun was shining brightly, with clouds near but just far enough to make the sun brighter. “Typical Orbis weather..” I mumbled to myself quietly. The sun wasn’t going anywhere, anytime soon. Slowly I layed my back against the freshly picked rose bush. It was a quiet morning, no bustling among the crowded areas of the city, just the chirping of birds. Occasionaly you could hear some people rushing to the boats, but other than that the morning seemed dead in silence.

      I wasn’t used to Orbis weather. It all was too perfect-like in Orbis. Everything here was just right, the weather, the people, and the cleanliness of it overall. Sundays were the slowest days in the week, probably because I was leaving Orbis to go back home to Victoria until Wednesday. Normally it wouldn’t be too long, but I’d miss the perfection here. Victoria wasn’t the typical living place, you either had a chance with lots of trees, a mountainous region, a hot, dry prairie. And occasionaly, Kerning City. One of the most dangerous places known.

     There were Bandits roaming here and there, everywhere in Kerning. They would mug one person at a time, leaving them with almost broken bones and nothing but the clothes on their back left. Standing up, I eyed the clock, 11:38 am. Twenty two minutes until the boat took off, I figured now would be a good time to walk over to the station. My black hair slightly blew in the wind, and made my shadow look like that of a mad mans.

      As I made my way up the stairs, I noticed three people infront of me having a conversation. “Did you hear?” one said eagerly. “No, hear what?” another man said. “About the new leader of the Bandits.. I hear they’re real tough, already made up a networth of twenty people”. “Twenty people?” One said looking like he was just getting interested. “Yeah, y’know. Twenty people dead. It’s only been a couple days too.” the first speaker said, walking faster.

     “Whatever. As long as we don’t run into them, nothing bad will happen. Right?” “Right!” Two said trying to sound supportive. They all looked up, and stoppped talking. New leader? Killing twenty people? The other one hardly ever even got a chance to break bones.. but death? This could be threatening. “So.. what happened to the other one?” “Dead.” the man with blonde hair said, he used a serious tone. Very serious. “Meaning the new o-” “Yep.” This silenced them all. I looked down and stared at my feet.

     Arriving on the boat, I moved over far away from the three. You could tell they were all thinking, not sure about what, probably the new leader. It was 12:18 as my watch had read, the boat was hopefully almost in Victoria. I couldn’t wait to see my family, but then. I remembered something. Taxi didn’t work on Sundays, no way I was staying in Ellinia until tomorow. I would have to walk.. which means going through Kerning. Leaving me as an open target. As the thought of death came into my head, pollen filled the air.

     Ellinia was near by, the sudden dimming of light made it very clear. Slowly the boat landed, the three men all went off on their seperate ways after saying good bye. Probably good friends that were on a vacation. I turned my head over, from the top of Ellinia, Kerning was seen. A shiver went down my spine, “Was I really going through with this?” I began talking to myself, “No.. I can just gi-” Never. I wasn’t going to give up because of one group of people. The killed men were probably just cowards. Like I was afraid of some idiot who has to rob people to make a living. I bet he could have had one successful career, but instead he took the path of a Bandit. Not realising, I was walking towards Kerning all the time during my thoughts. You could already smell the dimming of pollen, and the smell of a big city.

     An unclean big city. The smell of burgers being cooked, gas, and sewers filled the air. Kerning was a terrible city, barely anyone lived here. Most were just travelers stuck here, in hiding fearing death. I took a few steps into the city, the tall buildings flew up with my eyes. There was hardly any water around here, except for the swamp water. I continued past, not one person to be seen. It had gotten dark, around 8 pm-ish if I were to guess. Too lazy to check my watch. A few more steps, it was clearl no one was out, no lights were on in homes and buildings. I felt alone, and then, the feeling of being watched came across to me. I quickened my pace, thinking that maybe the Bandit leader wasn’t just some whimp.. and then.

      I heard it, a footstep. They were after me. It was all too obvious. I began running until a knive was thrown, it pinned me to the ground. A couple more were thrown, two knocked my weapon out of my hands. I didn’t feel panicked, it all seemed to fast to be afraid, things always work out anyway.. right? I saw three people run, one snatched the weapon, the others threw more knives. Scraping me in the knee, I could feel the pain. It was karma. I could have waited, and been fine.

      The blood poured out onto the ground, running into the drain. Another quick one snatched my wallet, and with that, they disapeared. I figured if I lay here in pain, someone would find me.. eventually. All of a sudden, I heard a laugh. Looking up, there I saw it. The leader of them all, staring at me smiling. Though, there was something different about this one. Something.. I could never forget..

And that’s all for now. I’ll write more if people enjoy it. :3
Hopefully it wasn’t boring, I tried to make it as good as I can in about half an hour. XD Stupid homework.. >_>;;
Anyway, press the pretty button if you enjoyed this. <3
Edit: Now it is organized in paragraphs. 😡

  1. Oooo, I really like it. ^_^ It would be easier for people to read if you divided them into more paragraphs. Overall it was good. Kept me intrested. ;]

  2. I like the way you described Kerning. The perfect shady place for thieves.

    One thing. What do you mean by ‘smell the dimming of pollen’ anyway? I didn’t know pollen had a smell. >.>
