Chapter One


Morning had come and gone making way for the warm afternoon, the white clouds small and incomparable to the vastness of the clear blue sky. Green vegetation was everywhere and as far as the eye could see there was endless green hill where one had yet to roam. A lone horse stood out like a sore thumb in the picture, its head bent as it focused its attention grazing upon the grass and the gentle swishing of its tail batting away the few flies that surrounded the large beast.


Feet away in the distance a body huddled over by the bank of the river, dirtied sandals and old clothing laying abandoned on a rock. Long black hair covered tanned skin, hiding the person from any unseen predators. Calloused hands cupped the clear cold water and splashed it over the body, chills and gooseflesh running havoc after meeting with the cold liquid.


“S-shit,” a low voice cursed. “If I’d known how cold it was I would have just eased in.”


Black eyebrows furrowed in irritation as he walked into the freezing water, his mouth set in a thin straight line. It was either suffer or go with out and at the moment he wasn’t too keen on going with out, smelling like a Neanderthal was not something he wanted to experience. Waist deep was as far as the water rose and with out hesitation he plunged his body underneath the water only to surface a moment later spitting out a few more curses.


Traveling had been rough on him, but then again what hadn’t? For him it was just what he did for a living, it was almost exactly like merely existing because one did, it was basically in instinctual thing for him. Groping for the smooth rock he had brought with him, he began scrubbing the dirt and grime from his body until it was pink and raw, hygiene, it was something he hadn’t ever had to deal with before, it was something almost underneath him.


“Don’t you even dare think of taking off!” His voice was accusing as he shot glares at the gazing mammal. “Because this time I’ll really eat you for dinner!”


The four legged beast ignored the shallow threats and growling deep within his throat, he submerged his body once more under the freezing water before quickly scurrying from the river and letting the sun dry his body with its warmth.


His trail had left him stranded once again and despite knowing the terrain he wondered if he was even going in the right direction anymore. He couldn’t even tell anyone what day it was anymore, let alone the year and no matter how much it frustrated him no to end, he continued on his path, never faltering long enough to think of anything else. He was on a mission, a journey that only seemed to be leading him in circles to nothing, no end, no gain, just nothing.


There were no clues, no trails, hints, or anything, all he had were his instincts and the knowledge which he had of it, to village men working out in the fields, or the women washing clothes in streams, he was cursed. Of course mentally berating himself would obviously get him no where and grabbing his pants, he pulled them onto his lower half and picked up the rest of his belongings.


There was no time to spare, he had to keep going and slipping on his broken in sandals, he walked up to the horse and patted its neck as if it were merely a dog or a cat, scratching its back and whispering coddling words as he loaded the pack at the rear or the animal.


Taking a moment to glance around the area, he climbed onto the horse and directed it towards the East. His nerves had been screaming for him to go West, however it was where he had come from so he couldn‘t go that way, it was strictly off limits. He wanted to sigh, to dig his blunted nails into hard trunks of trees and tear things to shreds, but he couldn‘t do that either. He was human and it meant that he was at the bottom of the preverbal totem pole, he was the weak that was fed upon and he hated himself.


He nudged the horse a little to the left as it followed a hidden trail traveled by the invisible, he may have been human but he could still feel someone or something walking over his grave and he wasn’t about to let himself to be taken off guard. His sword was strapped on the left side of the horse and his eyes narrowed suspiciously as his ride slowed down drastically.


‘Careful,’ The wind blew through his hair as his violet eyes surveyed the surrounding trees. ‘I don’t need this shit right now, just keep going straight and hope that whatever is out there is just a figment of my imagination.’


Moments dragged on forever and he could feel the tiny hairs on his arm rising as a flock of birds from the tree canopy flew off brashly without any warning. A loud snapping of a tree branch somewhere off in the distance scared the horse and despite trying to calm the enormous beast, it took off randomly, fleeing an unknown enemy like it was at its heels. Annoying as it was, he tried his using tactics to getting the dumb animal to slow down effectively getting himself reared off the horse as well as his belongings and hitting the ground with a loud thump as the horse rode off in a frenzied terror.


“FUCK!” He screamed loudly his fists clenching and slamming into the ground as he sat there seething.


Grumbling quite a few inappropriate words under his breath, he grabbed the pack and his sword, slinging them carelessly over his shoulder before heading off in the direction his horse had taken off in. He might as well go find it since he had paid for it after all and he didn’t really want to walk around unless he wanted to become even more lost (not that he would opening or mentally admit to it).


It would take him twice as long to get to any nearby village and without that horse he would have to carry his own belongings. Things weren’t looking too good for him and he was beginning to wonder what ‘lady luck’ was thinking because he wanted to set her straight if she was going to continue rattling his cage. He walked for what seemed like hours and the sun was already waning into the west, soon it would set and he would be completely alone once again, to fend for himself. It wasn’t like he hadn’t spent the last few years by himself, but the damned horse was better than noting and even when there was no one else around he figured he wasn’t really alone.


Everything sucked, life sucked, and thinking about it made him angrier just remembering how he had come to this situation. Huffing to himself he frowned, why had everything suddenly grown quiet? Reading for his sword, he pulled it from its sheath and cocked his head, he wasn’t as weak as other humans were, he could stand on his own ground. Red was splashed off to his right and he wondered why he hadn’t seen it before. His heart was pounding rapidly in his chest, his fingers near trembling and brushing away the bushes from his view, his own blood ran cold. Bile rose from his stomach and he tore his gaze from the scene before he vomited, cursing his weak stomach. Clutching his stomach as he dry heaved, he shut his eyes tight, he would never be able to rid himself of the carnage.


‘Shit,’


E/N: Well I don't know what to say about this chapter, it's not my best, and not my worst, but it is a lttle out of character. (shakes head) I don't know anymore. But yep. I'll try working on a new chapter to this story and "Getting To Know You" and maybe some others when I get off work on Friday. Sorry that it's going to take so long.
