Darkness of the Light

CH. 2 - Enemies

Aphelion sat at a table in an old building, wearing a new leather coat that was somewhat worn out from wear and tear, and the original dress shirt and pants on the inside, with his old coat on the chair behind him.

Vannessa was pacing around, wearing the same clothing she had found Aphelion in, seeming to wait for something, spinning both of her guns in her hands.

Vannessa had the physical appearance of a Caucasian female with blonde hair, and a tad bit too much eye-liner and lipstick on.

"You know you’re going to drop one of those things one day and shoot me in the leg one of these days woman." Aphelion said with a smirk, resting his head on his arm.

"The day that happens I'll just have to drag you back here and shove the thing out with a knife." Vannessa said, smirking, and pointing her gun at Aphelion, and putting it down.

Aphelion chuckled at the thought and quietly said, "This is extremely boring, wouldn’t you say?"

Vannessa sat down in the couch in front of Aphelion and smiled, saying in a seductive tone, "We could do something to pass the time you know."

Aphelion glared at her and stood up, looking outside of the window, saying "Already told you twice that I wouldn’t do it even if you paid me.", looking behind himself at Vannessa.

"You’re no fun.." Vannessa said as a loud crashing noise sounded from outside, followed by a twisted scream.

Aphelion and Vannessa both drew their guns and dashed outside (with average human speed...), pointing their guns in two different directions, and split up to search the area.

Aphelion ran through the area and heard another loud crashing noise, and smiled, running in the direction that it came from, seeing a human child, surrounded by multiple figures, which were covered from the head to their backs with black cloaks, and their bodies, old, wrinkly, and rotten, with their eyes glowing red, all holding large crude scythes.

The figures then all leaped into the air, in the direction of Aphelion, holding their scythes high in the air, all of them swinging their swords down at one time.

Aphelion shot the first nine figures that approached with extreme speed with his revolver, and shot twenty other figures, at an even faster speed, with his hand-gun, releasing his revolver's ammo and threw bullets in the air, releasing the magazine in his handgun, allowing it to fall to the ground, putting a new one in, and caught all nine bullets into his revolver, and shot the bullets at the enemies that were coming down at him, destroying them all.

The figures burst into sand as soon as they were destroyed, and were all blown away by a mysterious wind.

Aphelion looked at the sand as it blew away, and looked towards the human child and began to walk over to it.

The child then immediately sprung towards Aphelion, pinning him down to the ground and bore out it's razor sharp teeth and quickly lowered his head to bite into Aphelion.

Vannessa shot the child down the body, killing it before it pierced into Aphelion's body.

Aphelion rose from the floor and dusted himself off, looking down at the child that Vannessa had shot, examining it somewhat thoroughly.

The child looked like an average human, but seemed to have eyes with red liquid flowing from it's eyes and mouth, and teeth that were hooked, fit for penetrating flesh.

"You’re welcome." Vannessa said, putting both of her arms loosely down, holding onto the guns.

Aphelion smirked and got up and looked behind at the child, and turned around to the horizon and began to walk.
