Range Zero

New Story, new storyline. My dad says that he doesn't particularly like me writing books, says I have my whole life to be writing books. Don't think this s going to stop me. It's my life, after all. He also said that every time I wrote a book, it was almost identical to ones I had recently read. I won't deny that this is somewhat true. I have tried to not do that, actually. It's kind of hard, since you have the one story bouncing around inside your head and interfering with your thoughts of a new story. But this isn't like anything I have ever done before. One of the only books I have recently read have been Dewey, about a cat, who lives in a library, and Merupuri. I've been busy outside of that with sports, homework, and trying to write. And I'm trying to make my handwriting easier to read. Changing a habit like the way you write is actually quite difficult, but I have done something similar in the past, with a little detirmination and perserverance. It was hard but not impossible.

Like most of my story ideas, this one was adapted from our experiences as Dreamers. This is a strange new twist, and since I have not decided on an ending, it may be discontinued. I hope this is okay considering I normally have a bad habit of leaving one story and finding another to write. I'll try to finish Oblivion but it may take a while, just like books do.

And now for the very first page of the very first rough draft of Range Zero.

You know, the major presentation of this whole post.

What? You fell asleep, you say? Oh. I didn't know I was that boring. ( =P =D)

JUST KIDDING



"They murdered people!" Someone shouted.
"They are killers! Anyone could be next!"
The riot outside the Judicial house grew louder, pressing closer and closer to the doors, threatening to burst in, shouting and screaming. Men pushed them back, allowing room for a man to stand and talk. Before he would say a word, one of the creatures being pushed back got a few words out.
"If we ever did something like that, we would be sentenced to human hunting just the sae as anyone else! Why are they any different?" The man growled, his brow creased in a glare.
"Quiet! Quiet down!" The man who had come out of th ebuilding yelled, waving his arms. "THe system will let you all know the verdict. Please, go home."

*-*-*-*-*-*

"Please! We were only trying to help!" I screamed.
"You don't understand, do you?" the judge asked, almost rhetorically. He leaned over his stand to glare at my companions and I.
"You are being charged with homocide for killing Giabutsu, when he was your ally! Everyone
treats you as traitors, no matter waht way you look at it, because you killed him."
"We didn't know! We thought-"
"SILENCE!" The judge called, smacking his hand against his stand.
"These are the consequences of your actions, and you must deal with them like anyone else. You will be sent to the human world immediatly for the humans to hunt, like in their fairy tails. This is the sentence for murder. You must accept it, because you have no other choice."
I looked up at the man, my eyes wide and filling with tears of disbeleif. My hands were cuffed behind me, and I was blind folded, then lead somewhere. Before they lead me any further than two feet, one said, "Make sure you tie her wings before you let her go. She'll escape otherwise."
I shivered. They were going to make sure the humans would find my companions and I, and we would all die. We would all die, only because we tried to find change in a changless world like ours.

Something rope-like wrapped around my torso many times, and I felt my wings being drawn in tighter to my body, almost to the point of pain. Feathers were pulled in the process. No one apologized. I didn't expect anyone to.

I could feel the light breeze on my face and I could smell all the people outside among the people leading me, though since I was blindfolded, I couldn't see them. Once I passed by, they started ylelling and cheering, for reasons I didn't know.

I could hear the barriers open before I went through them. Tomo was the guardian of this barrier, and she was the one letting us go to our deaths. I knew she had no choice, but still, the pain inside of me was horrible. I could tell she was crying too, because I could hear it. My companions were crying, too, and I didn't blame them. We were being lead to our deaths. Tears wet my blindfold.

A strong wave of nausea swept over me as we changed worlds, and I could smell the human smells. Mainly humans, Earth animals, some pollution. We must have been on a mountain, because the air here was cool, crisp, and fresh.
"Alright, Yasani, you know the rules. You can explain it to them while we untie them." the one leading me said. A man stood before us; I could tell he was human from his scent. When my blindfold was lifted, I could see that he was tall and slim, with dark black hair that was all over the place on his head and obviously not thought about much. His skin was tan, sort of, but light at the same time. He wore leather and a hat that reminded me of the ones you see on old western movies in the Human world. He also wore a smirk that told me he was going to be the one hunting us.
A woman with sandy blonde hair came up beside him. She was wearing contact lenses, which I could see, and had much the same smile, onl hers was more lethal. I would have to worry about her. The man I could deal with.

"What the heck is going on I mean come on we were just trying to help someone has to try to change things right why would it not work huh why are you doing this we don't deserve this please don't do this!!!" someone burst out from behind me. I couldn't tell who because I was focusing on the woman's wicked smile. SHe started laughing when they started talking; it started as a snicker, then a full on laugh. SHe looked over to the man.
"I love it when they plead. Don't you think it makes it better?" THe man nodded.

"Yasani! Start explaining." someone barked. The man rolled his eyes.
"Why you are here, I don't know, and I don't care. I don't care how old you are or what you are, and what you are going to do here is be game. In twenty-four hours, seven hunters will be released into the area where you are being held. This area is two miles by two miles. There is already other game creatures here, and other hunters, so your chances of running into a hunter of other creatures is almost as high as in your original world. We will hunt you until we catch you, and once we are finished, you will all be dead, and we will have what we want. In the 24 hours you are allotted, you will hide as best you can in the 2 square miles you are given. ZTomorrow morning the hunters will be released. Myself and my partner, Aeki, will be two of the seven hunters released. You're free to run now...." the man and the woman walked into a door way. Slowly, it started to close.
"See you in the morning," the woman called as the door shut.
