"..."

The rain poured onto my back, hitting as hard as hail. My hands were stained with crimson, my breaths was ragged, and there was a body that lay below me, "his" eyes were hollow. "He" was now dead, gone from this world that was so filled with hatred, a world that had once been peaceful, then, as us humans grew and evolved, the world's colors started changing from the once bright colors, to black, the colors of Darkness. What was left behind after Darkness, was hatred, despair, greed, and vengeance. War raged on for generations, "peace" lasted for a minute before being brought back to reality, and the endless cycle continued.

But, that was when "we" had the idea of absorbing the Darkness into ourselves, to finally end the change. However, that wasn't quite what happened. "He' had absorbed half of the Darkness and I had absorbed the other half, but the Darkness had eaten "him" alive, and it was now infused with "his" blood. You're probably thinking 'It's all fine, the Darkness will dry up, and be forgotten about.' Well, you're half right, the Darkness' blood would eventually dry up, but it would then be infused with the ground, and consume what good was still left in this world. Naturally, we both knew this, so I was going to absorb the other half of the Darkness and finally end all of this madness; where peace isn't an illusion, but a reality.

"..."

I cupped up some of "his" blood from the hole in his stomach and, without a second thought, drank it. Then, the world started spinning, my head started banging, as if being constantly smashed by a hammer, and my heart felt so much pain, the pain of all the humans. I gritted my teeth, I wanted this pain to end, but I knew that I had to stop the world's Darkness from consuming the world. I cursed as my vision slowly started to fade to white, and I collapsed onto the cold, hard concrete ground...

"..."

"I'm nothing, I know this world will live on like this, even if evolution has just started..."

"Life can't live on like this, there's only death..."

"Love; it's beautiful, but it will only cause us more pain. Can you really risk your happiness for something so bittersweet?"

"I thought this world could be saved, but there's too much change for anyone to stop it..."

These thoughts, weren't mine, it was all the Darkness that was trying to consume me, even though I knew it couldn't. That was because of my "past". I used to think these exact thoughts, but I was changed by "him", and I had something that nobody had else had. It was-

"DAMN YOU!"

*CLANK*

"Ow..." I rubbed the crown of my head as I slowly opened my eyes. I was in an alley, there two chipped, brick walls on my left and right, colorful graffiti sprayed across the walls, trash thrown on gray concrete ground, trash bins kicked over, and it was sunny. I definitely got either moved here, or I had been teleported here. I'm going to guess the first one and go with that. But, option B isn't that hard to believe either.

My, previously, stained hands were now clean, my head still hurt a bit from earlier, my clothes were now clean and dry, and, to top it off, I was overlooking a futuristic looking city. The buildings seemed to be made of some type of metal that was more advanced than my world's architectural metals, the buildings were more curved around the edges, including the tips of some buildings, and there was a tower that arched up from three points, made from the same metal described earlier, with many rooftops branching from the tower.

Wherever I was, I seemed to a have, at least, successfully consumed all the Darkness, now I had to be more careful with my emotions if I wanted to keep it from taking control of me. As I sat up, my body winced from aching pain and I fell back onto the concrete floor, causing pain to blow up into my skull.

"Gh!" I couldn't help but let out a cry from the pain,though I knew this wasn't enough to kill me at all, it still did hurt and it didn't help that my head was already throbbing. As I lay, with my face facing upward towards the sky, I wondered what I was going to do now. I didn't know where I was, I never had a home, and I didn't exactly have any money, which meant no food for my stomach. I sighed, this had been a great turn of events, I guess if I ever saw "him" again, I would "thank him" for letting me absorb his share of the Darkness. But, that was for another time, right now, I had to find a place to eat and stay.

As I slowly pulled myself up, I heard footsteps from my behind and quickly turned around. I seemed to have startled the person, or rather girl, because she jumped up a bit when she saw me.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you," she says as she bows down low to apologize.

I wave her apology off to tell her it's fine.

'Don't worry about it, I should be apologizing for scaring you," I say as I also bow.

I look back at her. She has light lilac,brushed, long hair that drops down to her shoulders, with combed bangs. She has fair, smooth skin, a small nose, her eyes are a shade of purple, and she's three or four inches shorter than I am. Her clothes consist of a white choker around her neck, she wears a white jacket dress, which kind of looks like a trench coat, that has purple lining, with thin white stripes. Her jacket dress also has purple buttons and a handkerchief pocket. She also wears a faded yellow ascot like piece, that has a purple 'N' in the center. She has pink and white socks that go all the way up to her knees, with purple boots. Is it a bad thing to say she looks kind of cute? Probably.

"Hm? Is there something on my face?" she starts feeling around her face as she says that.

I let out a chuckle." No, it's nothing, anyway, who are you and where is this because, I don't know where I'm honestly at," I say as she gives me a reassuring smile as I finish speaking.

"Well, I'm Nepgear, and this is Planeptune, this is where my big sis and I live," Planeptune huh? Wished I learned of this place when I was in history class.

"Well, I'm-" I pause. I can't use "that" name, it's too risky. I'll just use "his" name. "I'm Tolise, nice to meet you, Nepgear." I smile.

"Nice to meet you, too. Hey, u-um... I was wondering, d-do... you... have anywhere to stay?" she questions. Actually, I didn't, and I was hungry, maybe she'll let me stay with her for a bit. I shake my head, and she looks down and speaks ever so quietly.

"T-then...do...y-you...want to stay at my place for a bit?"

Huh. I really will have to thank "him" if I ever see him again.

"Sure, thanks, Nepgear."

She doesn't look at me, but instead, nods and walks away from me, and I follow...

Hey, thanks for reading all the way through. This is the first fanfiction I've made so, reviews would be nice. This is also a "pilot" chapter to see what you think. I'll keep working on it, but I'd be nice if you guys left advice and possible ideas to improve. Anyway, thanks for reading, and, hopefully, I'll see you in the future.
