Starlights Gaze
The Discovery Part 1
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Okay guys cost is…clear!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d whisper into her ‘walkey talky’]
Silent footsteps made there way into the silent empty abandoned shop.
.Unknown.
Are you sure there’s no one here?
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Positive. [She’d smile glancing at her friend Rena]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Alright, I trust you.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Where’s the guys?
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She looked around]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
[She’d shrug]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Don’t know.
.Unknown.
Looking for us? [He’d chuckle softly]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
[Rena folds her arms]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Seriously Carson, enough chuckling.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
We are suppose to be quiet.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Pfft.
.Unknown.
That’s exactly what I said.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(Classic Nova)
.Marina Arnold [FL].
True, it’s a bit weird sometimes.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
See?
.Unknown.
Yes, we all see that you and Rena are made for each other!
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Hold up, their in love?
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Micheal is lying and we aren’t in love.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Says who?
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Me.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Me.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Okay okay, enough blabbering.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Let’s get everything and get out of here!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d whisper]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
‘Eight let’s get packing then. [He’d walk off further into the shop]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Maybe one of you should follow him.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
I’ll go…
.Michael Terra [FL F].
But only for certain reasons. [He’d glance at Rena and Nova]
Micheal then quickly rushed after Carson.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d sigh shaking his head]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
I’ll take that area.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
And I’ll be fine on my own.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Alright.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Do you wanna go with Nova?
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Maybe, but what about you?
.Marina Arnold [FL].
I’ll get around.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
You can go.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Okay then.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
[She’d follow Nova]
After a couple of minutes the ‘Walkey Talkey’ made a buzz sound.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Come in, it’s Snowflake.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Hmm. [She’d put it against her ear and listened]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Roger here. We found something.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Hey, I was about to say that! 💢
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Pfft.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She pressed a button before speaking]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Juliet here, I’ll come and check it out.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She let go of the button]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Charlie here, I’m gonna check it out as well.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Rose is following Nova, I repeat Rose is following Nova.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She put the ‘Walkey Talkey’ back and rushed off to Carson and Micheal]
1 Minute later they were all there.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
So what do you wanna show us?
.Michael Terra [FL F].
You’ll see.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d start walking and everyone followed]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
What the-
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d pinch is nose shut]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
We did that as well.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
What it this?!
.Michael Terra [FL F].
I know exactly what it is.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
You have your bestiary here, don’t you?
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Ye-
.Carson Smith [FL F].
It’s a rhetorical question dumb*ss.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Anyway.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
As you all can see this is a pile of dead zombies.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Quite obvious, tell them what you told me.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d frown]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Something caused this and it’s very unnatural.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
I searched all my monsters in the bestiary and-
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Don’t say there’s no such monsters that gathers and eats zombies?
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Scientifically speaking there is, but this case no.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
I don’t know what caused this.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
[She’d clasp her hand over Marina’s before letting it go again]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Shh.
Everyone stayed dead quiet.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He ball is fists]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d move closer to Rena]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[He’d pull out a baseball bat]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d close her eyes and clasp her hands together]
She’d try to see beyond the walls what Rena heard.
There was a huge snake like thing with claws. It looked part human.
Her breathing slowed down.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(It can’t be the same…)
Marina felt someone shaking her.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She snapped out of it]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[Her eyes faltered before she finally gained consciousness]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
You can’t scare me like that! [She’d whisper]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Yeah she almost cried. [He’d whisper]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
What have I told you, I said don’t use your ability more then two times per day!
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[He’d whisper as well]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He shook his head standing guard]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Sorry Guys…
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Anyway what did you see? [She’d whisper]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Something snake like? I think.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Snake like?-
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[He’d immediately pull out his bestiary]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d sigh before shaking his head]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
What can a snake even do? They’re useless.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Hey! That’s offence buddy. [She’d whisper loudly]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Over what? Your snake personality.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Okay you all be quiet and stop fighting.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d glare at Carson]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Aha! [He’d shout]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Shhh!
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Shhh!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d shake her head]
There was a moment of silence before a rumble could be heard.
After a while there came a loud swishing sound behind Marina.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d gulp eyeing Marina]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Don’t move. [She’d mouth]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[He’d put his bestiary back]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[And kept his bat close]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(It’s behind me isn’t it?)
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[Marina turned around slowly]
The creature glared at her with a viscous smile.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She gave a small wave]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She turned around]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d dash the opposite direction]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d follow]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Right back atcha! [She’d follow as well]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Cowards!
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d shout before following]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Hey, don’t leave m-
There was a huge hiss behind Michael and he stopped mid sentence before dashing off as well.
The Discovery Part 2
Marina Arnold. 19 years old. Human with a special ability. Her parents were murdered by zombies when she was 18 years old and it still haunts her. Her ability is to see what’s beyond. Basically she can see things further (with her mind and eyes) once every day.
Rena Richards. 19 years old. Human with a special ability. She doesn’t know if her parents are still alive but just that gives her hope that they are still somewhere. She’s always optimistic. Her ability is liquid manipulation. (Basically she has control over any liquid).
Nova Lawrence. 21 years old. Human with a special ability. He will do anything to save and protect his friends. He won’t ever break a promise, not once. He’s truly loyal. His ability is super speed. He’s faster than the speed of light. (Maybe he runs as fast as sonic?)
Carson Smith. 21 years old. Human with a special ability. Was one of those popular boys in high school. He knows everything about physics. Has a bid of an attitude, but has a huge heart. Sometimes he can say things he doesn’t really mean. His ability is metal manipulation. (Includes every metal). He can obey any metal objects with his mind or fingers.
Micheal Terra. 20 years old. Human with a special ability. He’s sometimes a bit of a nerd, but that’s just because he’s smart. He acts more matured and older than Carson and Nova, but his younger. His ability is to manipulate (control) electronic communication, devices and systems. He can easily hack into any computer. (He basically is a mastermind. And can give a winning strategy). This ability also comes with super reflexes.
After a while of running they finally stopped.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d pant before crouching down]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d sigh before leaning against a cracked wall]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
C’mon you guys can’t be tired?
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
We hadn’t even run that far.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d blink twice glancing at Rena]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Are you nuts?!
.Michael Terra [FL F].
We ran 2 miles away from that thing!!
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Your over exaggerating. [She’d fold her arms]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
(Why do I like her again?)
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d sigh]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Anyway before that snake thing came you wanted to say something Micheal.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Ohhh yeah!
.Michael Terra [FL F].
I think I know what caused the zombie pile.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
What? [He’d come closer]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
The Humano-sicut-serpent.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
English please, Micheal.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Was just about to say that!
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d roll his eyes] It’s the snake thing we saw earlier.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Think he’s so smart. [He’d whisper]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Did you say something?
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Okay woah.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Can’t you two chill.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Just for once?
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Agree.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Fine…
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d fold his arms]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
When y’all stop blabbering, let’s get going.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
To where?
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Oh my-
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Home Carson!!
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Jeez, boys.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
[She’d grab Marina and started marching home]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
. . .
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
C’mon slow pokes!
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Last one there is a rotten egg.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d dash off]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
That’s unfair!! You have super speed.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d follow as quickly as possible]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Why am I so slow?
.Marina Arnold [FL].
C’mon Micheal!!
1 hour later they arrived at their garage or home.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Home sweet home!
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
At last. 😊
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
You all are so slow.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
I was already here like 55 min ago.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d came in running]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
I win! [He’d stop catching his breath]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
F*ck no.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Oh F*ck yes!
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[He’d run in as well before leaning against the door frame]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Never-again.
Everyone glanced at him before laughing.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(Poor Micheal)
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Pfft, weakling.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[He’d shrug of the comment]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
We all know you don’t mean that Carson.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Yeah.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d chuckle]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
So what we have on the menu tonight Rena?
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
[He’d wink]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Well I have baked beans?
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
We don’t have anything else…
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Wait how?
.Michael Terra [FL F].
We just went to the-
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Ohhh…
.Marina Arnold [FL].
The snake-like creature came and we didn’t get to take what we need.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
We should’ve never seen those zombies.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Cursed things!
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Their not cursed.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d sigh shaking her head]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Micheal can you help me with the fire?
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Sure.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Why not me?
.Marina Arnold [FL].
It’s probably because you burned the first place we hid down.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Right?
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Right.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
C’mon Micheal.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Coming!
They both went to make dinner and start a fire.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Hah! I remember that clearly.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
I swear when my fist meet your face it’ll burn like hellfire!
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Try me!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Okay stop you two!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Seriously this is getting old.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Fine.
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
But only because I’m responsible.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
More like irritating…
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(I’m not even going to argue about this…)
The Nightmarish Past
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[Marina glanced at the two]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
You-💢
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d chuckle]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Rena how long until the food is ready?!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
It’s getting hot here!
From some distance Rena replied.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Almost done!
.Michael Terra [FL F].
[He’d accidentally drop the pots]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Seriously! Stop being clumsy, I thought you have good reflexes.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
It’s not my fault!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Tch..Micheal…
Marina glanced at the two who were still arguing.
A couple of minutes went passed and they still they were arguing.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Okay I had enough.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d grab Nova’s ear dragging him to one side before doing the same with Carson]
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Ow Ow Ow…
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Tch…
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Now behave.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Fine…
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
Aww isn’t Carson a good boy.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
I swear for the love of-
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d put a finger in front of Carson’s mouth]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d roll his eyes stepping away]
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
The food is ready!!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Thank goodness!
.Nova Lawrence [FL BF]
About time.
.Rena Richards [FL BF].
Agh you shut up Nova.
They all gathered around the table and sat down.
The food smelled awfully delicious for just beans and vegetables.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Dig in guys!
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Don’t mind if I do.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(Well he’s in a better mood)
.Author.
Sorry for interrupting.
.Author.
Just wanted to say that this (…) means thoughts.
.Author.
And this is the action, […].
.Author.
That is obvious, right?
.Author.
Anyway sorry for bothering.
After they were all finished eating, Nova and Rena went to clean the dishes.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[Shem
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d yawn]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
I’m going to go to bed.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Say goodnight to Rena and Nova please Micheal.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Sure thing.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
I’m also here…duh?
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Micheal is more matured, no offence Carson.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Wha-
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Goodnight you two! [She’d interrupt while waving her good nights]
.Michael Terra [FL F].
You too!
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Pfft.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Anyway I’m going to head to bed as well.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Say goodnight to Nova and Rena from me as well.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
You can’t be serious.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
I’m actually serious.
.Carson Smith [FL F].
[He’d sigh]
.Carson Smith [FL F].
Just go get your rest, help tell them that you all said goodnight.
.Michael Terra [FL F].
Right then. [He’d wave]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d yawn as she entered her and Rena’s room]
Their sleeping bags were laying on the floor close to each other.
The boys had their own room near the bathrooms.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Rena is going to take forever.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Especially with Nova being all flirty and such.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(So yeah I’m just gonna go to sleep)
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(But first, time to brush my teeth!)
After 2 min Marina was finished brushing her teeth. She quickly got into her pyjamas and hopped into her sleeping bag.
As soon as she lay down she fell asleep.
In her dream she dreamt about what happened.
Marina made her way back home after a long day of sport and school.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(I can’t wait to tell them about the exams!!)
Something caught Marina’s eyes up in the sky and she stopped to take a glimpse.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Woah.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
What is that?…
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d murmur amazed]
.Unknown.
It’s a meteor Arnold. [He’d grunt walking to the opposite direction]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(I know what it is!)
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(It just looks so close and bright and there’s plenty of them)
After some while Marina continued home but she can’t seem to shake the feeling that something was about to happen.
9 minutes later she arrived home.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Mom, dad I’m home!!
.Marina’s Mother [FL].
Ah, dear. [She gave her a hug]
.Marina’s Father [FL].
What’s my princess coming so late for?
.Marina’s Father [FL].
[He’d laugh standing up from the coach and giving her a hug]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[Marina smiled and gave them both an extra hug]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
Your awesome parents I hope you know that.
.Marina’s Father [FL].
We know.😉
.Marina’s Mother [FL].
[She’d slap his shoulder]
.Marina’s Father [FL].
Ouch…
.Marina’s Father [FL].
[He’d wink at Marina]
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d giggle]
Soon after that she made ready for school and they ate dinner.
After that she went to bed and her parents were still on the living room watching television.
Marina was already asleep when she woke up to herself coughing smoke.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d bolt upright seeing smoke and fire everywhere]
Strange noises where everyone.
There was grunting and so on.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
M-Mom!!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
D-Dad!!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d rush down stairs barely missing a burning bookshelf falling down]
When she got downstairs coughing more then she should a meteor lay half in the living room and half not.
And her parents were dead.
.Marina Arnold [FL].
(N-no)
.Marina Arnold [FL].
T-This is a prank right?!
.Marina Arnold [FL].
[She’d feel tears already forming]
Her parents weren’t her parents anymore.
And in that moment her knees gave out.
She fell unconscious then just to see someone breaking an entering their house with a very familiar voice.
