The Savior~
The bus was hot, outside was hot, heck everything was hot. In fact…too hot. “Mom~ How much longer?” Nicky whined pitifully from her seat, cheek pressed against the back of the seat that stood in front of her own. Her mother sighed, eyes closed. “Not much, just be patient would you? And stop whining your turning 17 today. You should be happy.” Her mother told her with and annoyed tone.
Nicky chewed on her lower lip, rolling her eyes and turning to look out the window. Sand and ocean rolled by outside her window, her and her family were headed for a beach resort in California for her 17th birthday. Her green eyes followed the ocean, soon lulling shut.
Her dream…she had never had anything like it before…it was different. There was a large battlefield, covered in corpses and weapons that had been flung away from their holders hands during battle. There stood but one man in the middle of the rot, he wore armor that was as black as the night sky. His hair was onyx, eyes hidden behind a shadow. A long sword was held in his hand, like black glass.
Who was he…?
Just then, a woman with shoulder length black hair limped up to him, blood running down her arm and back. Nicky couldn’t see her face, but her voice was strangely familiar. The man stood like a statue as the girl approached. “Please…Please stop this…You can’t leave me like this…” She cried softly, body trembling. “We’ve worked so hard to get here and now…now-” “Quiet…!” He snapped in a rough and harsh voice, hand clenching the handle of his sword tightly. “I don’t want to hear it anymore…especially not from you!”
He snapped angrily, making the girl flinch. “But I love-” “I said quiet!” He roared, then swung the black sword, slashing it through her body.
The girl froze, body beginning to shake madly as blood poured out of her stomach. She stumbled, then fell back. Nicky caught a look at her face, then shot up in her seat. A cold sweat covered her forehead and neck, leaving her trembling. ’T-that girls face…it looked like-’ “Nicky! C’mon it’s time to get off!!” Her mother called happily from the front, holding their bags. Nicky’s younger brother Souta shot passed, grinning. She sighed, then stood on wobbly legs, stumbling out of the bus and into the bright sunlight.
The resort was nothing like any of the hotels Nicky had ever been to. It was at least 70 floors, standing tall against the bright sky. Her father lead the family into the glistening hotel, her mothers heals clicking softly on the white marble flooring. While her father was getting the room keys, Nicky stood by one of the elevators, sighing. ‘Man, why couldn’t Terra come? Stupid dad…’ She thought in a glum sort of way. After the family gathered in the elevator, they headed up to their rooms. Nicky was sharing a room with her brother, which she was not too pleased about. But seeing the room made it all better.
There were two queen sized beds and a full balcony. A large bathroom and T.V. which stood in and entertainment center. A lamp stood on a coffee table which was between the two beds. Nicky squealed and jumped onto a bed. Her brother whooped and turned on the T.V. Nicky chuckled, rolling her eyes and grabbing her bag. “I’m gonna head down to the beach, wanna come?” She asked with a grin, then frowned when her brother didn’t answer, too obsorbed in the T.V. Nicky grabbed her suit and walked into the bathroom. After changing she grabbed a towel and her phone, then headed down.
As soon as her feet touched the sand she grinned, eyeing the water. “Oh man this is awesome…” She breathed, then flung her towel onto the sand, running for the water. Right when she was about to jump in, something grabbed her ankle. Nicky yelped, then fell flat on her face. She moaned, then flipped herself over and sat up, shaking her head and looking down. Her eyes then grew wide, screaming. A bony grey hand was wrapped around her ankle in a tight grip, pulling her down. Nicky clawed at the ground, yelling and screaming as both her legs got pulled under. “Someone HELP!!” She cried, then got pulled under.
