The Girl and the Boy

This is just a one chapter short story I thought of when I was at school, and please, enjoy!

The day started like any other day. A drab October morning, overcast, slightly cold. The girl, a young, dark thing, average size and build sniffed the breeze, no sign of danger. Just the stink of humans. She turned and entered the school.

Time passed.

Leaves twisted and fell.

The girl left the classroom, she had merely seconds before the mob would fall upon her. She walked fast, twisting and weaving like a knife through water. Not paying attention as she should have been, she did not see the boy until it was to late, until she was on the ground, her shirt pulled down slightly, enough to reveal her true nature to those who were aware enough to notice, and who understood who she was. She was not human.

Boy's Pov

I remember seeing the girl, an unnamed anomaly. She was an altari, a freak of nature. Her kind did not live out of their bloody halls, so how was she alive?

"Stop!"

3rd Pov

He commanded like he was born to it. Like he had led troops to battle and seen them die. "Who is this?" They both thought. "Who is this one who should be not?" The answers would come soon.

"Grab her," he commanded, "don't let her get away!"

She struggled and fought, but was no match for the freak boys goon. Not a word stand from her lips.

"Who, if I might ask, are you? Your race cannot leave the sea for long, but here you are, in a desert of all places! What are you?"

She did not speak.

"Show the common people who she is." he growled. His thugs, hidden as school boys, grabbed her shirt and ripped it from her body, revealing the black, curling, vined tattoos drawn onto her silver scales. Her scales were like a second shirt, starting just below her collarbone,and going down under her pants. When immersed in water, he scales would creep over her flesh, creating her tail. He crouched next to her. "I will ask again, who are you, what are you, and why are you here of all places."

This time, she answered. "I am here because I chose to be here."

"So she speaks! One question down, two to go. Who and what are you?"

"You know what I am. As for who, let's say I'm your worst nightmare's daydream. I am the beginning of a new race. So get ready, boy, a new order is coming to pas."

She smiled.

"Don't worry, you'll forget me. No stain in your honor, and all that, and before you interrupt me, I know most of my kind can't do that. I can. I am the beginning and the end. The first, last and everything in between. I am the immortal and the dead. I am a demon of the greatest importance, and Heavens mightiest messenger. I am a dream. I am a warrior. I am the greatest I AM. I am shadow and light, good and evil, joy and sadness. I am..."

Having freed herself while she was talking, she paused, "I am free."
