Slowly yet quietly as I made my way into the Sage Cemetary, I then became like a wondering soul figuring out how to come back to reality, trying to remember what happened to me and why I couldn't remember anything. It saddened me everytime I came here, but for some reason my own body keeps wandering back to this place but why? I wanted to figure it out so badly but there was like a pitch of darkness that kept me from finding out. Beginning to walk deeper and deeper into the cemetary, I take a glance at the thousand graves ahead of me seeing the ages of 80's, 30's......and also 5 up to 15 year olds.
I never thought that I would be of the lucky ones at my age to survive but yet here I am walking alive and well of what's left of earth. After a couple more feet of walking, I finally reached a big stone that had the writing 'Valliere Family' plus having the same symbol as it is on my chest. Gently I placed my hand on the stone feeling a presence, feeling happiness yet despair for someone isn't with them, someone is missing from their family. I thought to myself thinking......who am I really? And...why am I still alive up to this day?
Those questions still kept pondering throughout my head, but for now I would just meditate here, peacefully and try once again to remember of what I no longer have in my memory. Sliding my coat off and placing it infront of me I sit down infront of the stone in a meditating position. All the scars and bites on my body were now of complete view, everytime they were exposed to the air I could still feel the clenching of the teeth and the battle scars against my skin even if they were long ago.

Usually when I had gone out on my walks I travelled alone but this time I decided that I would bring Alyson with. Despite the two of us always joking about Ally losing her sanity from being cooped up in the basement, deep down I felt a little guilty. Personally I knew I would snap on anyone who tried to lock me in like that. But I was a bit more on edge this time going out because if anything were to happen, I would have myself and Ally’s ass to cover.
This morning I spent a long time pondering whether it would be safer to go into the city or to the outskirts. Finally I broke down and thought today would be a quick run past the lake and then around the cemetery. Usually it was pretty quiet since the monsters didn’t seem interested in the already dead, but today I had a different feeling. Walking in a few times I thought I spotted something far off in the distance. Being cautious, I told Alyson to hide in the bushes and to not make a noise until I personally dragged Ally out, of course as myself and not mutated.
With caution I held the stick within my hands tightly and gave the top a little twist, exposing a blade sheathed inside disguised. As I approached the spot where I thought I had spotted the figure, I crouched down low and hid in the shadows, flipping up the hood to my jacket to hide my blond hair further. Suddenly I spotted a young girl in deep concentration with many scars covering her body. With a puzzled expression I continued to monitor for some time until it seemed that it was safe enough. With caution I stepped out of the shadows and tapped my sheath on a head stone.
“Excuse me… you alright there kid?” The closer I approached the more distinctive the scars where which perked my curiosity even more.

My ears twitched a little when I heard the sound of the shieth hit the stone behind me. Also from before I was able to hear more than one stepping motion for the air was quiet and a whole lot easier to hear. Hearing the strange person behind me, I calmly spoke.
"Stop...take no step closer...", I began.
I took a deep breath in then out as I slowly opened my eyelids revealing my blood red eyes. Using my hands to help me up I stood on my feet still facing the stone. Firmly and swiftly I placed my hands on my bladed weapons that were attached behind me, both sword blade and dagger crossing each other in an X formation. I took both of the handles in my hands but didn't release them from their slumber. From the sound of her voice she is female and by the way she approached so carefully and not haste she wouldn't be a lazy thief but still I wondered if she was going to rob me or something so I kept my position.
"That other person hiding can come out as well......the air is quite silent in this area so I was able to hear more than just your footsteps coming by. If you're hear to steal something from me, pray before I kill you...", I warned the girl behind me, taking no mess either for I was already irritated enough trying to regain my memory through strong concentration of meditation.
A gust of wind passing by a little, my red scarf flowed with the wind but then after that wind it had became more clearer to see and I was more visible to them which in my thoughts wasn't a good thing.

•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘• It wasn’t hard to guess what was going on. The “before I kill you” part was all she needed to hear before darting out from behind the bush even though she had been told to stay put. With a clearer look at the situation Aly noticed right off that she was the only one un-armed. And sure having been a cheerleader in High School meant she could move fast and preform eye-pleasing aerodynamic stunts, but she was no Hollywood ninja, making her skills useful for fighting was a long shot.
“Woah now...we come in peace...and would like to not leave in pieces if that’s okay with you...”
Alyson eyed the girls hands for any kind of movement. Being as El was armed chances are if this girl were to get gutsy she would top the hit list for the day. If Alyson could contribute anything it would be making sure neither of them ended up a shish kebab.

Before she could even get a word out, Alyson was out and standing like a fool with nothing to protect herself. With a glare El gave an eye gesture to instruct Ally to back up and then returned her attention to the odd character in front of them. The scars could have been from anything, after all there were many dangerous things out there now. But what really caught El’s attention was the bright red eyes that the young girl sported. Her initial thought was that it was induced by drugs but she wasn’t about to judge, instead she decided to redirect the conversation.
“We don’t steal from anyone kid, if anything we’re actually trying to help people. Although you sound a little off your rocker, you also seem like you’ve been through a tough time. Do you need a place to stay? Ally and I have a little refuge going on at an Inn on the outskirts of the city. It’s small but if you need help you’re welcome. What’s your name?” El’s eyes continued to study the girl more, taking in every scar while trying to avoid the blazing red eyes. For precaution she had yet to have re-sheathed her blade as it glistened gently in the blazing sunlight.

I chuckled in spite of the girl's stupidity or rushing out like that so releasing my grip on my blade handles I then let my hands rest to the side by my hips and I took a step to turn around, grabbing my coat as I turned. Putting my coat back on, I looked at the two women that stood before me, the one talking to me first seemed very interested in my figure and the scars on my body. I moved my blood red eyes looking to the girl in the back to the girl in the front then I placed my hands in my pockets, resting them and warming them up a little bit since the air was a bit chilly as well. Still modifying them, they in fact are older than I am and only one of them being armed I thought that they're probably not worth fighting so I decided to exchange conversation instead of exchanging with blade clashes.
I very slowly walked toward them then as I was walking I tilted my head a little bit then looked straight ahead again.
"Why not take a picture if you wish to stare so much at me. Also I see you view my body but avoid my eyes, do they so much scare you to look into my eyes when you talk to me?", I said seriously, but I couldn't blame her for a lot of people that tried talking to me would always look away from my eyes.
Stopping only 4 feet from them I slightly looked up at the women with the hood covering her blonde hair which I was able to see fairly well.
"I have a place, but surely it would be better if I know both of you're names first before mine.", I said in a calm manner.
The bite scars on my exposed stomach were visible now but for the scars and bites on my arms and upper back were now hidden from my cloak that was now on my body. I looked at them with a slight glare for strangers suddenly coming up to me, disturbed me and I didn't take too kindly to them. Whenever a person would want to become a friend to me I would always say no thanks for I always know once someone is with you and you're caught in a dilemma....they'll just slow you down and you'll be done for. Well that's what I think in my opinion.

•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘• “Wait you think we’re afraid because your eyes are a little different then ours?"
I stepped up to the girl that was clearly younger then myself. I shared little of the fear she spoke up especially since she had not pulled a weapon on us. Looking into her eyes was not feat on my part, I got off on the strange and creepy something this girl seemed to be good at, even at a young age. Especailly with her off putting scars Maybe one day I could make her my little horror movie junkie mini-me.
“Red Sharpie....that's what your eyes remind me of...or that episode of Harpers Island where they found this girl hung up in her house..someone had put red ink in her eyes and..."
I shot a glance back at El having forgotten that she might still be trying to get this girl to come with us, and perhaps before I chase her off I should give a name, which was another request she had made earlier anyway.
“Oh by the way I'm, Alyson, or Aly...nice to meet you, and your eyes."
I smiled playfully before leaving the girls personal space allowing El to make her introduction.

A scowl appeared on El’s face while the child spoke so significant of herself. She was avoiding the eyes to simply be respectful since having such outlandish things would always gather so much attention. El couldn’t help but smirk while Aly went on about the eyes reminding her of yet another twisted horror movie from the past she so much adored. She was becoming more and more grateful that she had brought Aly, so far…
“Before I introduce myself I think you can start giving up some information. It’s not like we have to help you after all, it’s just a simple offer. But if you honestly think you’ve got what it takes to survive the new world by yourself then by all means continue on the path your on.” El jabbed her sword back into her sheath and slid it between her belt and pants, letting the moment sit.
“Or… you can get off this high horse of yours and join us where you don’t have to be alone anymore.” This time her eyes met directly with the odd girl and refused to break. There showed no anger or shunning; only understanding and welcoming. As for if the girl took up the offer, well El could only hope.

I stayed calm a little bit as I looked at the two, sure they were older but that Alyson girl seemed a little immature at times compared to my view and this one here infront of me. To me she seems like the type of person that would protect others enough but slightly worries about her own safety in a way. I raised an eyebrow when the women infront of me asked for my information yet putting slight attitude into it of course I wouldn't just GIVE someone my information that I just met. I've always been suspicious to people that have survived thinking that if I told them my information they would come after me and take everything I have away even if they asked for a death wish. I smirked slightly and shook my head then crossed my arms then maybe I'd just guess the girls name out since I've been very good with guesses lately somehow.
"Your name...I'm guessing it might be El? Also, my information is and will be of no use to both of you. Telling some random people your most personal information isn't something anyone will just do.", I said firmly.
When I saw El shove the blade back in her shieth, I kind of gave a disgusted look on the inside without showing it on the out. I was really professional with blades so I know what kind of damage it could do with just shoving a weapon back in it's shieth. I was curious as to what kind of a blade she had so I decided to look for myself even though I know she might have a problem with it. In swift and very fast movement of my feet, dancing with the fog of the cemetary I moved behind El, quickly taking the blade out of it's shieth then gently I held it in between my thumb and index finger. Turning the blade slightly to the left I look to see that the shapness had become quite dull and the sides have been scratched up quite a bit.
At the bottom of the handle where the blade began it was cracked a bit because of the shoving and I sighed a little bit. As I then while my hands held the blade side, I gave El the handle part so she could take back her weapon.
"You don't really take care of the poor thing do you?...pitty, if the blade isn't taking care of, it wont save your life in this god forsaken place that we survive in now. Sharpen your blade for they are very dull and for goodness sake stop shoving it in your shieth for your just causing more damage to it, do it lightly as if your placing an infant lightly back in it's carraige.", I said sternly then once El took her weapon back I turned and slowly began to walk away, stopping right quick to say something to Alyson.
"You should bring a weapon always with you......speed isn't what'll keep saving you....for those things out there will eventually figure out your speed and try to shortcut you.", I said then turned back forward and started walking again away from the two.
"My name is Merry......Merry Nightmare and that's all you need to know.", I said giving them my name and doing a quick wave as I kept walking making my way out of the cemetary.

•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘•◘• Two things were becoming more and more clear to Aly as time passed. One that El was becoming something along the lines of irritated, and two that something was off with the red eyed girl. She almost didn’t seem as young as she looked. Kind of like that “little nine year old” girl Esther from the movie The Orphan. Turned out Esther was a 30 odd year old Russian midget. But certainly that couldn’t be the case here could it? The question seemed rational given the circumstances. This girl knew too much and had something of a superiority complex going too.
“Well I’m not really worried about someone knowing my name, and I don’t think you should be so careworn about it either.”
It seemed hopeless and Alyson was ready to give up the ghost. I mean if this girl really didn’t want to cooperate then what was the point to extending a helping hand anymore. Taking El’s hand in hers Aly was planning on leading her friend off before she started foaming at the mouth like the demented Stephen King dog Cujo but before there was any time to take a step in the other direction the little red-eyed vampire/mutant girl had managed to get behind El and herself, as well as take ahold of El’s blade which was a BIG no-no.
Turning on a dime Aly looked the little girl right in the eyes. It was impossible to know what was going though her mind. The only hint she had was linked to her scolding choice of words which would no doubt send El into a fit of rage.
“Hey now didn’t anyone teach you that it’s not polite to take someone’s stuff without asking. And further more...”
Somewhere in the middle of her scolding Alyson had raised her index finger to the girl, and even started to wag it in a mother like manner. But this soon came to a halt when the girl turned the scolding on to her. Telling her that she needed to bring a weapon, lest she become creature food.
“Now wait just a minute you little....”
Once more before she could finish the girl was talking. This time it was her name she was dishing out. And if she had not turned to walk away after that Alyson would have probably continued her train of thought. One that would have no doubt ended with a “Respect your elders” note. But alas she was leaving and Aly was done wasting her breath. If this girl wanted to be a loner so be it. The question really was, could El just walk away after what happened?
