    Meeee! :) and I write fantasy/fiction/poetry

    Um...this is just a random story I felt like writing...I don't know what to title it...


    "Ow!"
    "Oh, sorry, did that hurt?"
    "Yes, that hurt!"
    "Well, I wasn't sure if you'd been replaced with a statue while I wasn't looking."
    "Rrrgh...I'll get you back, you know. Just wait and see."
    "Maybe when you get out of your own head."
    "What?! I'm not 'in my own head'!"
    "Then what've you been staring at since the beginning of class?"
    "...Wait...wha...huh...? What time is--sh*t!"
    "Whoa, watch the language. And yeah, class ended a minute ago."
    "Then I have another class to get to! Move!"
    And I burst out the door, down the stairs and through the halls faster than I can remember being able to. The whole time, I think of that mysterious guy I keep seeing.
    No one else seems to notice him. He's tall, a ginger, with a big patch over his right eye and most of that half of his face. Once or twice I heard him whisper my name, and the names of people I don't know. He always just stands there, looking sad yet cheerful, long bangs covering most of his eye patch, green eye seeing everything and nothing. And he's always dressed according to the situation. In public, a hoodie. In school, a long sleeved white button-down shirt with a collar. He'd probably be in a swimsuit at a pool.
    But always, always with that loose black tie, the knot resting on his chest.
    I arrive at class just before the bell rings. Ha. Not late. As I go to my seat, I look around. He's not here.
    "What's wrong?" asks my friend Jenna. "You look kinda sick."
    "Huh? Oh, nothing." I shake my head, wiping sweat from my forehead. "I had to run down from English."
    She nods somewhat sympathetically. "Yep, that's a b*tch." Man, people at my school swear too much. Maybe I should be like my friend Owen, who has never uttered a curse in any language, even in his thoughts. Not that I know this for a fact, but that's what it seems like.
    "Yes it is," I reply. Then I get a small twinge in my brain, almost unnoticeable except for what I know it signals. I casually look around and yep, there he is, right next to the desk a few rows ahead of me. The desk's current occupant doesn't even look up. 'Why me?' I think to myself. 'Why can only I see him?'
    My question goes unanswered as, for the first time, he moves. He strides up to my desk and leans on it, a smirk plastered on his face. Then he actually speaks.
    "Look, I know I'm sexy, but quit staring like that." His grin widens as I glare, unable to reply because, you know, I'm in the middle of class.
    Jenna gives me a curious and kind of concerned glance, but says nothing. The ghost person doesn't follow her example. "So in case you were wondering, my name's Eronious Finch. Yeah, I know, weird name, but whatever. So, listen, this is sorta an astral projection and only certain people can see me. I still haven't figured out the whole story. But anyways, I'm kinda locked up in a lab or something, and I need you to help get me out and--hey, whatcha writing?" He sees the piece of paper on which I wrote a message especially for him: SHUT UP. I DON'T CARE.
    And the guy just laughs.
    "Not a problem! I mean, it's not like they're coming for you next...but, wait, yeah they are!" Then he laughs so hard I almost worry he's burst a lung. When he finally stops, he gasps, "I gotta go. But they took me for the same reason you can see me, whatever that is, so anyone who can see me is their next target. So I suggest you help me." And he disappears.
    And I sit there, unsure what to do. Was he serious or just trying to scare me? Either way, he did. And who were "they?" Why are they coming for me? What do I do?
    The rest of the day goes by in a blur. I can't think straight. When a teacher calls on me, I dont even notice. If I get in trouble, I don't see them standing right in front of me and screaming. He'd said lab. They were going to take me to a lab? What would they do to me? Experiment on me? Dissect me? Kill me? I'm paranoid for no reason. How could it scare me this badly?
    Surely not because I believe him?


    Yeah, that's getting a little long, so I'm going to stop there. Sorry; I'm bad at thinking up plots.

    ...Well, I'm writing a science fantasy story, which involves an old world feel with poems and whatnot. ...Heh.


    The second editor makes sure the first one didn't fail. The third suggest ideas based on what the market is currently looking for.

    Is it to late??


    If not here we go....
    Its only the beginning of the first chapter...



    Battleless


    Alpha squad:
    Leader: commander Ultra (real name: Luke)
    Second: captain Star (real name: lilac)
    Soldiers:
    Knight - knives and close combat
    Flip- vehicles
    Z- assassin
    Codes- hacking and scientist
    Bullet- weapons specialist
    Clash- unknown (real name: Cody)




    Chapter one:



    They entered a grassing clearing, it was rimmed with purple flowers and red snaps. The only female in the group looked at the leader of the squad, who's appearance was glowing with authority, he wore, like all the other soldiers, armored combat boots, with a gold armored suite and a helmet. He looked around the clearing "okay alpha squad, we should camp here in till morning." He stated "Codes is the camp clear of poison clads?" He asked Codes looked at his hologram and scanned the clearing. "All clear commander!" Codes replied
    Commander Ultra nodded "Second, take Bullet and Clash and make sure the area is secure." Ultra commanded
    She nodded and lead the way out of the clearing, fallowed by a big man known as Bullet, and the new rookie Clash. Once they left commander Ultra turn to the others "help me set up camp.... It's going to be dark soon.." He added


    Star held her gun ready, and turned it through a bush making sure nothing was going to pop out suddenly. She turned suddenly when she heard Clash fire his pistol. She aimed for the sky but put her weapon down when she realized it was just a cluth, an alien with four legs and arms and is a monkey-like creature. The cluth looked down at them and screeched, it jumped from tree to tree away from the group. Star glared at Clash "next time rookie, look before firing! Do you want the whole planet knowing where we are!" She hissed
    Clash looked down "Sorry Captain I thought... I thought it was something else..." He mumbled
    She glared at him and then turned and walked forward again.
    "Don't worry about it Clash.... She's tuff.... But she's always like that on rooks..." Bullet reassured Clash, who just sighed and fallowed. Star lead Bullet and Clash to the camp and went to report to Ultra. Once the camp was set and everyone was settle down, Ultra pulled out the hologram map of the area. "Alright... We are here, and we have to make it to this command center over here, there we will be working with the Eagle squad to deliver cargo...." Ultra explained pointing to several spots
    "Why don't we just use a vehicle? We would have been there by now..." Clash pointed out
    Ultra smiled "yes we would, but then every XO would know where the command center is. Because they can track vehicles!"
    Clash nodded and watched as Ultra looked over the map once more. After they ate, ultra called to Knight, Clash, and Flip. "You will be taking the watches tonight, I want Clash first since he's new and there not a likely chance that XOs will attack....." He said The three men nodded in approval.
    Commander Star yawned and took off her helmet letting her red hair flow over her shoulder. She stretched and sighed as she watched the flickering of the fire, she watched contently. Ultra sat next to his second in command, he took off his golden helmet and placed it besides him. He combed his fingers through his black spiked hair a couple times before taking off his head set. He placed them in his helmet carefully. Star watched the team, and saw everyone getting along except Z who never go along with anyone. Z was quiet, didn't talk and didn't show much emotion. She remembered when she first joined the alpha squad. She was a rookie and Ultra was the second, Z was a solider and they where being lead by Light. Light was a great leader she's ever known, light was strong and brave but thoughtful and wise. Back then the alpha squad was nine strong, we where all skills and almost unstoppable. But they where ambushed by Sanoxs which where giant lizards that are bullet proof on there back, the only way you could kill one is by shooting it in the eye or underside. They usually live alone but the ones that destroyed the alpha team lived in a pack of ten. They attacked at once......pain filled her as she remembered when there was only Light, Z, ultra, and herself. And the lizards still attacked, finally Light ordered the rest of his team to flee. But Light stayed behind to lead the Sanoxs away. Z never really talked after that..... She thought. She remembered when she was ranked second after they got knew soldiers. She was still a bit confused on why Ultra picked her and not Z. Z who has more experienced.... Star thought
    She looked at the rookie, she couldn't help but feel a little bit angry about the rookie being here. Clash will never replace Surge.... She thought bitterly. She remembered the most recent death of their solider. Surge died from a XO attack, he was the only one thankfully but he was the best sniper in the whole team. And now they want to replace him with a guy who doesn't even know why where not using vehicles! Clash isn't even trained to alpha squad level! Who assigned him here?! She thought with frustration.
    Star then drew her attention from the distant memories that clouded her thoughts, to the rookie; who was trying hard to fit in.
    Knight nudged Clash with his elbow, Clash turned to Knight "what?" He asked
    "Hey guys..... Second is looking at us...." Knight replied
    But instead of looking at her, they looked at every where else except for Clash who was intrigued by the captain.
    "Don't look at her rook...." Knight whispered
    Clash looked at him confused "why?"
    "Because, she's one hell of a snake!" Bullet replied before knight could say anything.
    Clash looked at the men surprised and glanced back at Star.
    "We'll she isn't that bad..... But if you make the wrong step,... She sure can bite!" Flip said
    "Oh she bite real bad!" Bullet muttered
    Clash nodded "I'll keep that in mind...."
    "Well all you got to remember is to stay out of her way, cuz she ain't looking for trouble..." Flip said
    "What if she walks up to me?" Clash asked
    "If she didn't call your name, your free, so make a run for it...." Knight said
    "But boy.... She's 'Calviaca'!" Flip said
    "Calviaca' shanora!" Bullet agreed
    "What does Calviaca' Shanora mean?" Clash asked
    "Means hot lady with the smarts in Quzara..." Bullet said
    "What about Ultra?" Clash asked
    "Uh.... Commander Ultra goes pretty easy on rookies.... But he has is ways of thinking...." Bullet replied
    "Yeah.... Like this one time Arnarks where raiding are camp but instead of attacking them, we where ordered to flee with all our equipment...." Flip said
    "Well only because..." Knight started
    "Only because what?" Flip glared at knight "I lost all my V computer starter chips!"
    "Well because XO's where right behind us when we got to camp, remember? And Commander thought we could get away in all the chaos..... That's all I was trying to say...." Knight shrugged
    "Well wish I grabbed those chips in time..." Flip grunted
    "But hey I made you new ones..." Codes added.
    Codes was sitting there listening the whole time, everyone turned to him. "Why so quiet codes?" Flip asked
    "Just looking at the map...." Codes shrugged
    Bullet sighed "well it's getting late.... Ill see you guys in the morning..."
    One by one the men left to there tents, and all that was left was Clash, Star and Ultra. Star and Ultra where talking quietly on the other side of camp. While Clash stood guard, and taking in his new surroundings. He then heard a chattering sound, he looked behind him to where Ultra and Star where sitting, No it's not them..... He thought. He listened and heard it again, he looked up and saw a cluth. I'm pretty sure that's the same cluth that I tried to shot before! He thought, he ignored it, but the monkey like animal chattered on and then screeched loudly. Clash looked at the cluth and scowled. He aimed his gun at it, but put it down. He sighed and looked back at Ultra and Star, who didn't seem to notice the cluth. He felt something hit the back of his head, "ow..." He looked around and picked up the little rock from the ground. He looked up and saw the cluth only a few feet away. Clash threw the rock back at the cluth, the cluth plucked it from the air and threw it at Clash. Clash quickly dodged it "ha!" He said triumph the cluth flung more rocks at Clash who dodged everyone. The cluth hissed in frustration and grabbed a handful of rocks and threw them at Clash. Clash put his hands up to defend himself from the rocks. "Ow...ow..ow!" He grunted as rocks hit him. The cluth grabbed another handful and flung them to Clash. "Hey! Stop!" He grunted
    The cluth gave a crackling laugh, Clash rushed towards the monkey anger filling him, he grabbed its neck. "Why you-" clash fumbled and shook the cluth violently. The cluth screamed in terror.
    "Clash please don't harass the wildlife!" Ultra called
    Clash turned around "but-"
    "Put him down..." Ultra commanded
    "Yes sir!" Clash turned to the cluth "oh I'll put you down alright!"
    But he knew that ultra would be watching; clash set the cluth down gently. The cluth hissed at clash and scrambled up a tree. Clash watched it and sighed. He turned and saw Star heading to her tent her expression unreadable. Clash walked up to Ultra cautiously. "Would you like me to do anything?" Clash asked
    Ultra didn't look at him "do your job..." He said walking away not waiting for a reply.

    I kinda wrote this on my iPod in like a half hour.... sorry for the errors I'll try to get through those and I'll give you the back up story of the planet there on so it kinda makes more sense....but I'll do that later...
    To tell you the truth I'm not a good writer at all, at least not novels... you see I'm a screenwriter for movies and TV shows, I'm more into the movie industry but hey, I try...

    Fudge: Even I don't know, and I thought of her.

    I really just don't. I don't think there is a reason.
