First of all, I would like to bring to your attention that this fan fiction was not only written by me, but by my sister, Xshayarshan, as well. We switched off every sentence or so... although sometimes we would get carried away and write up to whole pages =P Oh, and also, my other sister, JSeals, wrote one part of this story... I'll indicate which part that is when we get to it. Enjoy!
My sister and I are also going to try to illustrate each chapter, but with high school just starting that may prove difficult. The picture for the first chapter was drawn by Xshayarshan: deviantart (insert . com) /view/10226795/
Down a quiet part of Endsville, a pre-adolescent blond girl walked beside a tall, cloaked figure. The young girl wore a black headband in her hair, which was shaped like a half-circle, almost as if sharp horns pointing at each other. Her pink dress contradicted her rather dark colored hair piece, a yellow flower decorating its center. Her expression gave off disdainful vibes, her eyebrows furrowed in a grim way. The young child's black, feminine shoes tapped loudly against the concrete; one would surely hear her approach, unless one was deaf.
Next to her drifted a spooky companion, his skinless head shielded by a hood bearing red interior. The super-natural being held neutral facial features, his eyebrows showing no emotion, his jaws following suit. The robe draped over the creature ended in six curved ends, which seemed to flex as he moved along at the same pace as the small girl. A scythe occupied his right hand, plain black handle appearing dull under the powerful, silver blade shining brightly under the sun's magnificent mid-day rays.
The two headed towards a house they normally visited, and average-looking, every day home. The taller figure seemed to drag behind the other as she reached up to ring the doorbell, alerting the occupants that someone awaited their presence. Standing back, the door knob twisted as a boy, slightly taller tan his female visitor, was revealed to be standing in the doorway.
A small red cap covered his cranium, casting a shadow over his overlarge, pink nose. A broad grin plastered on his face gave him an oblivious expression as he looked over to the two that stood before him. A blue stripe lined the mid-drift of his white T-shirt, matching blue pants over lopping his red Vans shoes.
"Hi Mandy, hi Grim!" The boy greeted the two joyously, waving at the two with his one hand that wasn't still clutching the doorknob.
Mandy sighed, rolling her black eyes. "Hi, Billy. Let us in." Grim remained silent for the time being.
Billy pranced further into the house, allowing room for Grim and Mandy to gain entrance.
"Tee hee! Hey, speaking of visitors," Billy announced randomly as he skipped happily towards the kitchen for obvious reasons, "Some weirdo called me in the middle of the night last night! He said he was from the center of the EARTH!"
Excusing Billy's repetitiveness, Mandy questioned scornfully, "Do you mean your uncle NERGAL?"
Billy nodded gleefully, "Yah! I remember him now! He married my Aunt!"
"As if we all didn't know that," Grim spoke up glumly, his deep voice thick with a Jamaican accent.
"Yeah!" Billy replied to Grim's comment, rather oblivious to the insult.
Before Grim was given a chance to say anything, Mandy cut back to the original topic. "Billy, why did he call you?"
Billy placed a tan finger to his drooping lip. "Err... I think it was about the center of the Earth... and... being there." The boy shrugged, resuming his search for snacks by opening the refrigerator.
Mandy exchanged glances with Grim. "A family visit?" Grim asked, suspicion wrapped around his voice. "That seems so like him..." Mandy replied, an eyebrow raised. Her gaze returned to Billy. "So, what did you say?" Her voice, as always, was low-pitched yet feminine.
Billy, the dull boy he is, had to really put his brain to work to answer Mandy's question sufficiently. "I think I said no, because I was sleepy and that one rabbit was going to eat the candy if I didn't..." He shuddered, unable to tell his dream from reality as he placed a platter of junk food on the counter.
Mandy exhaled deeply, "Alright Billy, well as long as he doesn't bother us I... don't care. Wanna watch some TV, Grim?" Her last statement was directed towards the Grim Reaper, her head turning slightly to view him.
Grim shrugged, agreeing to watch TV with his acquaintance. "What else am I to do?" He muttered to no one in particular. As the couple headed for the entertainment center, Billy grabbed his plate of unhealthy food items and scuttled out of the kitchen after them.
Upon entering the living room, Mandy hopped up onto the green couch, grabbing the remote off of the sofa's arm, Grim sat at the other end, his head resting in his hands in disinterest. Billy took his place on the floor, allowing the plate to drop from his hands as he flopped onto his stomach. Holding the remote control in one hand, Mandy pressed a red button at the top, the TV turning on- only to reveal static. Mandy's brow furrowed as she flipped through the channels, each only showing static.
"Billy, did your dad forget to pay the cable bill again?" Mandy asked in impatience.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with the cable." A familiar voice entered the room as the face of a black demon with elliptical yellow eyes appeared on the TV screen, an evil grin revealing yellowish fangs.
Feel free to inform us of grammatical and spelling errors, and if you feel we're writing out of character, don't hesitate to flame. We shall try to make it better. =) Also, do tell us of parts you don't like and what you do, what you think we should change, blah blah blah. Oh, and tell us if you like the pictures!
Or, you could just say some simple little review that tells us nothing except that you read the chapter. x)
