Final Change

The whisp and the demon

It's Saturday night, there's a slightly warm breeze as storm clouds roll in around me as i walk down the dimly light street to my apartment at castle apartments. I worked in a small restaurant down the other direction. Though tonight it was warmer than usual at night i was particularly cold and felt that i was being watched by everything i passed. Crossing the street to my apartment building, i felt everything watch as i opened the door and walked into my room locking it after.

My apartment was a 2 room flat with a bathroom and a small kitchen and a medium sized living room. I wandered back to the bathroom craving a shower after my long shift, i look up into the mirror at my reflection. My once sharply spiked black hair now flopped in my face and loosely lay over my eyes. Shakily i take a deep breath as i look deeper at myself, since i was 12 i had started to develop partial heterochromia which slowly turned into full heterochromia when i turned 15. My eyes slightly shown from under my hair were vibrantly different, my left eye a soft icy blue while my right eye was a peridot green that visibly stood out. I sigh and step away from the mirror and walk into my room to get a towel and a change of clothes.

After my shower i sat down at my desk and began to scroll through the endless photos when i had found a folder that i had made when i was younger, when i opened it i found an endless array of characters from video games and anime. I chuckled at the folder and scrolled through them recognizing a lot of my favorites. Dante Sparda, Cloud Strife, Riku and Sora, Axel and lots of others. Seeing all of them i had the desperate urge to play the video games, so i stand and run over to my closet pulling out every game system possible. Though my arms were full i had grabbed everyone i owned and began hooking them up to my large T.V. and played for hours. I looked up at the clock and sighed and began to play again and this time i noticed that i was faster at beating the games unlike before when i was younger.

After finally finishing all the games i had crawled into bed and fallen asleep. When i woke up from what was in all reality just a nap, i went and made myself something to eat. Looking around my apartment i noticed that nothing had moved but there was a wispy feeling in the room. That's when I saw it the will-o-wisp, it floated through my apartment and stopped glowing in front of me slightly. I gasp lightly step back, what was a wisp doing here and why in my apartment. It floated forward touching me and a large burst of light erupted from it causing me to slam my eyes shut in desperation to keep my vision. For a while the light played at my eyelids making me wonder what was happening.

A while after the light had started it faded ad it was much darker than my apartment. Slowly and hesitantly i opened my eye glancing around only to see a dark alley around me. As i glanced i noticed my clothes, my once gray tank and loose white sweats were replaced. I now wore a white long sleeve and a long black leather trench coat. The coat seemed worn and old. I looked further at my outfit noting that i was also in leather pants and black combat boots. On my sides were two holsters, each containing a six shooter. I step forward and feel a weight on my back and look back noticing a large hilt and look down seeing a large blade. I take a deep breath the collar of my new coat making me seem mysterious. I step out of the alley and look around at the city that i'm in. though not tallahassee it was a fairly large city and was dead silent. I walked down the road and observed my surroundings. I then was hit with realization when i saw the red neon lights that spelled out and very familiar company name. Devil may cry. I walked up to the the doors and pushed them open looking for the white haired man that i knew worked here. At no time at all a sword swung at me and my body without me even doing anything, rushed the large sword of my back blocking the attack.

"Who are you and why are you here?" his voice deep but light just like in the game. My heart sped up as i held his sword at bay, a name? I scrambled through my head in desperate attempts to find a name that somehow fit in this world.
