Fan Fiction ❯ Untitled ❯ Chapter 1

The quiet little street slept through the night in silence. Night. The one quiet break from the busy life during the day. Silence. The sound of the whole world asleep. Silence on small street was broken by the sound of ominous footsteps slowly treading down the street. Nothing stirred. The footsteps continued and still nothing.

The quaint little house, with the white picket fence surrounding the perfectly kept yard and immaculate rose bushes by the front door, stood silent at the end of the street. It's occupants completely unaware of the horror that was about to engulf the small patch of heaven they called home.

The footsteps continued to the end of the street. The small creak of the gate opening aroused the family's sleeping guard dog. The Footsteps the belonging to the man froze and watched as the large dog lifted it's head and did a quick scan of the yard. After finding nothing of interest save for an old squeaky toy lying 3 meters away it yawned, showing it's sharp teeth, and lowered it's head and continued sleeping. The man closed the gate and very slowly made his way around the side of the house.

A light went on in the upstairs corner window and a obscure silhouette of a young boy appeared at the window. After the boy left and the light went off the man continued to the back of the house. Slowly watching his feet as not to step on the few toys scattered across the back deck he stopped at the sliding glass door. The back light went on but he continued as if it wasn't, raising his hand and placing it against the thick glass of the door. Shadows instantly spread from his hand across the door and soon it was completely black and instantly dispersed, taking the glass door with it, when he removed his hand.

Stepping inside he found himself in the dining room and slowly made his way to the bottom of the stairs. Kneeling down he touched his right hand to the stairs and two dogs appeared. One made of shadow and flame and the other of shadow and lightning. They crept upstairs and searched the rooms to find which were occupied. After about a minute they returned to the man who then stood and went upstairs.

The first room he checked belonged to a little girl who was sleeping quietly in her little princess bed holding a small stuffed bear that looked like it had been well loved and taken everywhere. He entered her room, not watching where he stepped, and hit a trip wire that made a little bell ring. The little girl, named Tamae, jumped out of bed yelling “Haah, I caught you, you little twerp!”

The man stood there with a completely blank look on his face.

“You're not Sasuke. Who are you?” She said with fear in her voice. The man still awe struck walked over to the girl and put a hand over her mouth before she could scream and placed his other hand over hers. His eyes briefly went black and more shadows came from his hand forming a tie around her wrists. Tamae started to cry a bit and he moved his hand from her mouth and put a finger to his lips.

“Sshhh, It will be ok” he said comforting her, then moved his finger from his lips to her throat and a small glow appeared at the end of his finger. “Don't cry anymore, No one can hear you”

Pulling her up he dragged her in to her parents room and had her stand against the wall, both of his dogs on either side of her. He stood at the end of his bed and said a few words in a strange language she had never heard before and raised his hands. Dreading what would happen Tamae started to cry. She screamed to her parents but when she opened her mouth nothing came out. She tried again and still nothing. She could only watch in horror to see what would happen. A small flash appeared from under the bed and two glistening silver spears shot up and pierced both her parents through the heart. They were killed instantly.

Tamae fell to her knees beside the bed and started sobbing. Blood was dripping down from the bed and staining the white carpet. She was crying, her tears mixing the newly spilled blood. After what seemed like forever to her, the silence broke and she heard something. Raising her head she looked at the evil man, who was smiling. He forced her to watch him brutally murder her parents and he was laughing to himself.

`He's insane' Tamae thought to herself, `An insane murdering freak.' Slowly and quietly she rose and made her way to the door. `I have to warn Sasuke.' As soon as she was in the hall she ran to her brother's room.

Bursting through the door, she turned on the light and jumped on his bed. Sasuke woke immediately, ready to face whoever gave him such a abrupt awakening. He saw Tamae on the edge of his bed, hands tied and tears streaming down her cheeks.

“What's wrong? Are you ok? What happened?” Inquired Sasuke but all she could do was point, wave and gesture. “It's ok, you can tell me” Sasuke said trying to calm her but the fear in his voice was clear. He stood and helped Tamae to her feet, untying her hand and hugged her but she still shook. Neither of them noticed the small black spot on the carpet behind Sasuke. It spread around the carpet so it was about two feet in diameter, then it started to rise, forming the shape of a man.

“It's ok, you're going to be fine.” Sasuke said smiling as he wiped away Tamae's tears. She smiled back, finally starting to calm down and stop shaking. “See” Sasuke said reassuring “It will all be fine”. He started to laugh. Tamae just stood smiling back at him, happy he was there, unaware that it would all change in a matter of seconds. Sasuke still smiling froze and his expression fell. Tamae watched as he looked down, and she saw him touch the small bit of metal protruding from his chest, blood starting drip down, then it was gone and a small cut line was left. Sasuke started to turn to face the source of his newly found pain. He made it about half way before he was shot back, blood spurting from his right shoulder on to Tamae, who's face was now in a look of complete terror. Sasuke faced her one last time and smiled, blood was now coming from his mouth.

“Don't worry about me, I know you can make it.” Sasuke said, all fear in his voice had vanished. “I love yo…” Was the last thing Sasuke managed to say. Tears were flooding Tamae's eyes, she hardly noticed the pain from the sword above her left eye, the same sword that had pierced her brothers heart and killed him. Tears mixed with blood poured down her face and dripped of her chin to the floor.

“Now why did you make me do that?” The shadow man asked, pulling his sword out from Sasuke's chest, causing him to fall to the floor in a mangled, bloody mess. “He was supposed to die nice in his sleep like you and you're parents, no pain. Just quick and easy. You are the one to blame for his suffering.”

“Now for the last one” The man said grabbing Tamae's arm. Holding her tight, he dragged her to her little brother's room. “Now because you have interfered enough, you will kill him”

`NO!' She thought, violently pulling away and struggling but the man's grip was to strong.

“So that's how it's going to be. Fine then.” He said pulling her closer holding out his other hand, his fingers started to turn black. He placed to fingers on the back of Tamae's neck. “Now you will do as I say”

`NO! Let me go. I don't want to.' Tamae screamed in her head. She grabbed the sword he was holding out for her, the same sword that killed Sasuke. `NO! I won't do it!' She kept telling herself but she no longer had control of her body. She could only watch on like a movie as she approached her little brother's bed. The same brother who would run into her room in the middle of the night waking her because he had a nightmare. Her arms raised against her will, clutching the sword in both hands. `NOO!' She summoned all her will power but her hand only flinched. `NOOOOOO!' It was to late. She looked down and saw what she had done, the sword went straight through his forehead.

Falling to the ground, Tamae finally regained the use of her body. She pulled the sword out and wiped away the trickle of blood that streamed down his face. `What have I done?' Tears started forming again but she fought them back. ` I will kill this man. He took everything from me and made me watch. I WILL kill him. I Must.'
