~Story in progress

....Which makes no sense at all. =D It's far from finished right now, and I'm still working on it.
I know, my English sucks. Writing isn't my strong point, but it's fun. *w*




The blob of translucent white pudding on the table was tasteless. Like the rain would be, if it wasn't drenched in blood.
---
I've been here for days - weeks, maybe. I've lost track. Time doesn't seem to pass here, and the bleak sky outside is always a pathetic light gray with wispy chunks of darker gray clouds hovering just below it.
It rained every afternoon, or so I thought. I couldn't even tell, only predicting time from the day that I ended up here.
Mesmerizing blood red liquid poured down from the wisps of grey clouds, first in tiny droplets, then descended rapidly like a gauzy curtain of blood. I wanted to open the window, to let the rain in, to feel the red liquid dancing upon my fingers, but that was impossible.
The window was sealed shut, as the door was, which was rather pointless if they were afraid that I'd escape.
I'd go nowhere.
There's nowhere left for me to go.
Besides, even if I had a home to escape to, I couldn't find my way there.
Looking out the window, I see nothing but white water-like goo surrounding everything.
Perhaps it was an ocean of glue. Maybe they made the pudding from that icky substance, I thought. I'd never eat the pudding. It looked positively disgusting, and I'm not hungry, anyways.
The food here was a mystery. The door was glued into the wall, yet white, jelloid food appeared on the tiny table before my equally tiny bed (If you could call it that) every day. A dull, rusty tray lay there, filled with strange artificial foods like a white, translucent apple.
Everything was completely tasteless. Without flavor and without odour. The gelatinous material writhed in my mouth everytime I took a bite out of it, jiggling rapidly and bouncing among my teeth until it slid down my throat in a rather uncomfortable way.
The rain of blood outside was still falling into the white water, which never changed color despite the red liquid that fell and melted into it. I kept watching the rain outside, and I fell into a trance-like state.
My eyelids drooped and unconsciously, I fell onto the bed and I drifted away into darkness. Something tugged at my wrists, but I didn't stir. The steady rhythm of the bloody rain continued to tranquilize me.

Raining BLOOD!! -does rocker hair thing- Sorry.

It's really good except something about a sea of pudding that's white and tastes like nothing?
Nothing Pudding! It's so sad! The Nothing Pudding Ocean! ^^=

I thought it was wonderful.

[Roxy_Berry]

Thanks! =D
...I know. D= It's such a waste of pudding. x_____X



Soft whispers woke me.
I dwelled in the corners of my dreams. Waking up was the real nightmare.
---
Red. Endless red. Nothing but red.
My jaw dropped as I stared at my surroundings. All was red. Like blood.
"Maybe it is blood," I sighed. I wanted to reach out and touch it to see if it is, but I was unable to move my hand.
Red lace wrapped around my wrists tightly, restricting all of my movements. I cried out in agony as the lace tightened, but there was nothing I could do. White shadows in the distance advanced towards me. I was doomed.
The world crashed down around me and I tasted blood, bouncing inside my mouth and creating burning sensations.

"Not again...." I groaned, lifting my head up from the table. The glob of pudding managed to end up inside of my mouth for some reason and now my teeth is slippery with the disgusting remains of the tasteless pudding.
I've been having this dream - or nightmare, as some would put it - for a few days now. The dream varied each time, but the terror it had brought me was always the same.
The salty taste of blood seemed to linger upon the tip of my tongue. I remembered it clearly from the strange dream, though it didn't make sense. Why would I taste blood if all I ate was translucent, flavorless white pudding?
My wrists felt rather sore, as if they had been actually bound tightly by lace. I could barely move them, as they throbbed each time I tried to do so.
"Hello."
I blinked. Who said that? Was I hallucinating or something?
"HEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOO? Anyone there?"
Even louder this time. I frowned and pinched myself, blinking twice and acknowledged that I wasn't hallucinating at all.
A bony hand peeked out from under the bed and grabbed me.
I did the only thing that I could do at the moment.
I screamed.

[ThatAnimeKid]

Nightmare! Run away! -screams-

I'd really hate to be the girl in you're story right now.
Flavorless pudding, Bony hands, nightmares, raining blood... must be torture.

[Roxy_Berry]

...Yes, indeed. I'd endure nightmares, a random bony hand and bloody rain for yummy pudding, but if the pudding is tasteless, I'd have nothing to live for. x_____x



I stepped out of the darkness, yet I create shadows within light.
In this messed up world - what would be wrong, and what would be right?
---
I screamed until I couldn't breathe anymore.
I screamed until my lungs gave out and then, I just fell onto the tiny bed and gasped for air, looking hopelessly at the ceiling. Icy fingers continued to grip my wrist with no intention of letting go, and I'm too weak to defend myself. Maybe this is the end for me after all...I never knew that death would come for me this quickly..I could almost hear the fluttering of invisible wings hovering above me...
"Hello there. Please excuse me for my behaviour, but I didn't know if you were awake or not. I apologize sincerely, and I hope that you'll forgive me." A tiny girl climbed out from under the bed, grabbing by hand and shaking it warmly. I stared at her, eyes wide and my expression agape.
"It seems that you are confused," The tiny girl continued to speak, gradually letting go of my sore hand. She was an albino, with features too delicate to be human. "My name is Hailey. Hailey Lovestruck. It's not my real name, of course, but my given name is a bit hard to pronunce. You probably don't speak my language, so please refer to me by this human alias."
"...Human alias...?" I was too stunned to speak in full sentences, so I just sat on the bed, wearing a confused expression on my face. "You mean...You're implying that..."
"No, I'm not human, if that was what you were wondering," Hailey Lovestruck giggled with a pure and high pitched voice, "I'm an alien that's currently working here. You must have a million questions, but I'll try to explain as much as I can. You see, I'm here to take you away to-"
"To where?" I gasped. "Are they...finally setting me free?"
"As lovely as that would be, no." Hailey shook her head, looking into my disappointed amber eyes with a sympathetic expression. "Actually, I don't know, either. I'm here to take you to them. They want to see you."
"Can I not go?" I replied, looking down at the floor. My conscience is telling me that this meant the beginning of something bad, but somehow, I felt that my life couldn't get any worse.
"You know that they'll always get what they want, dear," The little alien shrugged. "We're gonna be late if we don't hurry."
But what about what I want?
A part of me is afraid that a fate worse than death would descend upon me, while another part of me is scared but actually excited to finally do something else, even if it meant being executed or something so cruel it couldn't be described, not with words or even pictures.
But I had no choice, did I?
Hailey's pale bony hand tugged at my wrist again, dragging me out the door, which was now mysteriously open as if it was never glued shut in the first place.

[Roxy_Berry]

(Sorry about the double post, but I wrote more and I can't edit. x_____x)

Nothing makes sense anymore...
I'm chained to my imagination, yet crucified to reality.
---
In contrast to the pale, cracked walls of the room in which I was confined, the walls of the hallway that exposed itself before us was glossy and black, as if made out of polished obsidian. I let my eyes travel further up the ceiling, then gasped at the sight before me.
In the ceiling was hollow black chambers seperated from the hallway with a translucent pane of glass. I heard pounding coming from the other side, and turned to Hailey with a confused expression etched onto my ashen face.
"Sorry about that." The little pale alien closed her eyes and smiled thinly. "They won't harm you, I promise."
"What...is that...?" I managed to speak once again, looking at Hailey, still confused.
"Classified information." Hailey giggled, walking in front of me and held out a hand. "If I tell you, I'd have to kill you. Come on, we can't afford to be late."
And why not?
I sighed, not bothering to ask another question. It's probably more classified information, anyways.
Silently allowing Hailey to drag me forwards, I closed my eyes and hoped for the best.
Maybe. Just maybe Hailey was wrong, and they'd let me go - I've done nothing wrong.
Or did I?
The horrible truth sunk into my head once again. I frowned, and tried to remember.
But it seems that I can't...
I can't remember how I'd been taken here.
Not even...
Not even my name.
I'd forgotten it all.

[ThatAnimeKid]

That girl IS living in a nightmare! Ah.. it is a girl... right?
I mean I just assumed..

[Roxy_Berry]

...I...
I don't even know. D;
I was just writing from some random person's perspective...
The main character is probably a girl. She/he seems a bit girly-ish to me for some reason.

[LadyAerowyn]

More! Haha. xD

And the character remains genderless.

[ThatAnimeKid]

Me, too. If it was a boy... It would be kind of different, right?

[Roxy_Berry]

You can color my world with your deadly sweetness
But your brilliance smothers me and I sink,
Thus I drown in dread
---
"Hailey, I have a problem." I sighed, asking her just incase she can help me out of this dilemma, but she probably couldn't. Its probably more classified information that I'll only get if I trade my life for it.
"I know, dear." Hailey shrugged. "Everyone has a problem -- At least one, anyways."
"I can't remember anything..." I whispered, moving along with Hailey robotically down the hallway as I tried as hard as I can to search my mind for information about me, but my attempt failed. My mind was completely blank, only containing recent information from back when I was first imprisioned in this strange place. "Nothing makes any sense."
Hailey smiled at me as if I had told her a mildly funny joke. "Ah, that's normal. Things aren't supposed to make sense, you know -- you are, in order for everything to work for you."
All I could do was frown at her cryptic response and her overly enthusiastic grin. "Sorry, but that didn't help at all."
"Why would it?" Hailey laughed sweetly, nudging me for me to stop in front of a white marble door. "Look, we're here."
A dreadful feeling swept through my mind. I gulped, thinking about the horrible fate which was surely waiting for me behind the white door. I wanted to turn away, but Hailey's grip on my wrist was too strong.
"Please don't," She whispered to me as she brushed away a stray lock of silver hair away from her pale red eyes. "It's no use, really."
"I can't." I finally managed to speak again after a moment of awkward silence, then tried to pry her bony fingers away from my sore flesh. Hailey continued to grip onto my wrist, and I yelped with pain as she increased pressure.
"Stop it." Her tone was firm this time. "It's for your own good. They'll be angry at you if you keep trying to escape, and who knows what they're capable of doing to you?"
I finally stopped resisting. Whoever had locked me here would probably be rather displeased with me already since they decided on doing so, and if they're angrier with me, I probably won't be able to get out of here alive.
"Good." Hailey regained her smile, and knocked on the door three times with one thin finger. The door swung open suddenly, revealing something incredibly grotesque and disgusting that made me want to vomit.
I closed my eyes, as I began to fall into darkness. The silent aria of doomsday seemed to embrace me once again.

[ThatAnimeKid]

Yay, doom! This pudding story is turning into alot more than bony hands and pudding. ^^

[CupcakeQueen]

Creeeeeeeeeeeeeepy
You're really good at writing stories :)

[LadyAerowyn]

Moreeeeeee~

[lyndasis]

i luvv ur story to death!

[lyndasis]

That girl IS living in a nightmare! Ah.. it is a girl... right?
I mean I just assumed..The screaming indicates her being a girl the character seems really unresistful,vulnerable and fragile and thats more common in girls,so i automatically genderlised her as a girl without thinking :)

[Snoball13]

[Rainbowfish]

Yay for the androgynous main character. 8D

Memories cuts me up with their bloody kisses
If only I could forget

Something cold covered my face. I yelped, recovering from my previous half-asleep state. A gigantic, bubbling blob of white with throbbing veins and thousands of tentacles covered in vomit-like goo and slime filled the majority of the room; I had to look down at the floor and think other thoughts to avoid eyeing it. It was one of those disgustingly strange creatures that you detest, but can't help but look at and think of.
I felt something hot and sticky beneath my feet. Grimacing, I gritted my teeth and removed myself from the part of the floor where I was standing previously, moving closer to Hailey. Only then did I observed what was underneath my feet before I had moved. It was, or seemed to be the goo that covered the blob creature, giving off a nasty scent that made me cover my face. I hope that this is a nightmare, I thought silently, closing my eyes and relished the silent darkness. It sure looks like one.
"Don't close your eyes," Hailey called out, pulling my hands forcefully from my face. I glared at her for a moment, though still afraid that she'd grab me again. It hurts like hell when she does; I think that my wrist was bruising already.
"What..what is that?" I pointed to the blob, raising one shuddering hand. I tried looking down again, but something about the blob pulled my attention towards it. Well, you don't see something like this everyday, so I might as well take a good look at this...this thing.
"You'll find out," Hailey repiled with a grin, then her expression grew serious as her eyes met mine. "Really. The truth will reveal itself in no time. Would you like to know why you're here, then?"
I nodded feverently, staring at Hailey with avidity. I was speechless at the time. Finally...they're gonna tell me...But why are they going to do so..? ..Are they..are they going to kill me?

[Rainbowfish]

-Sighs- ..And so you updated.
I do not think that "feverently" is a word; I believe you meant either "feverishly" or "fervently".

[lyndasis]

its getn to the part weve all been waiting for:p
can you just give us the last part youre torturing me:D...

[Roxy_Berry]

D; Sorry about the misspelling. I'll try to update later today or tomorrow morning. ^^

[Kissu]

read the whole thing .. o_______o!
that's really good C:
i admire your writing skills T ^ T

[Roxy_Berry]

I hold onto life, brushing away misery
Only to let go unwillingly

The candles that surrounded the room suddenly flickered out as something seemed to smother all of them in one millisecond. I shuddered as coldness surrounded me. It felt like wind, somewhat icy but not cold enough like the winds of winter, cutting across skin like thousands of sharp knives. "Maybe it's the wind," I muttered to myself, then turned my head to the opposite direction, met with two green eyes shining sharply. I screamed, stumbling and taking a few steps back, bumping into something warm, wet and squishy.
I realised what it was the first moment I had felt it. A horrified expression expanded over my face as I turned my eyes to what was behind my back to see if I was correct. And if I was, I was probably doomed.
And that was the first time that I was unhappy about me being right. Chuckling nervously, I slowly removed myself from one of the sticky tentacles of the blob creature -- Or would pudding monster be a more fitting name for it? "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry," I apologized aimlessly, backing up yet again before the monster moved. The glowing eyes met mine again as I returned to my previous spot. Sighing, I realised that it must be Hailey and shook my head at my own foolishness.
"Please explain." I turned to Hailey, my voice shaking a bit from still being nervous. Hailey laughed, her eyelids fluttering shut and open continuously as she did so. "Sure," She replied enthusiastically. "You see, we need you to do something for us."
I groaned at her vague explaination. "And what would that be?" I stared into her shiny eyes, which somehow made my blood froze. They were nice to look at at first when I was used to them, but they seemed to grow colder every second.
"Don't rush me," Hailey shrugged, her annoyance obvious. I whispered an apology, as Hailey continued with her explaination again.
"Now, if you complete the task sucessfully, you will get to leave freely, though not in your current state...You'll be...shall we say, more powerful..better." Hailey cleared her throat then spoke clearly. "...But we can't force you into doing it. If you don't want to do it, that's fine with us. We'll just kill you instead."
My expression froze completely, as a result of shock. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out until a moment later. "W...what do..do you want me, to..to do?" I stuttered, still confused but felt extremely threatened and scared. What did Hailey mean by "better"? And what kind of task am I supposed to do?
Trying to calm myself, I spoke. "Tell me what you want me to do first."

[Rainbowfish]

Yay for exciting-ness. ;D Update soon. Or else. >:3

[Roxy_Berry]

And so the simple motion of life stops right here
I used to be so obsessive, but now I don't even care
---
"You must absorb it." Hailey motioned towards the pudding monster, which growled as its gelatinous flesh bubbled along with the sudden movements of its tentacles. One whipped past me, almost touching me. I immediately took a step back, obviously startled.
"...What?" It took a moment for me to comprehend Hailey's strange words, but I was still extremely confused and scared. "...What do you mean?"
"Absorb the blob," Hailey was clearly impatient now, much more hostile and serious than when I had first met her, which was only about not even a hour ago.
"..How? W..why?" I stuttered, my entire body shaking as sweat beaded on my forehead and cascaded down in tiny rivulets as I moved my body parts.
Hailey said nothing but laughed darkly instead, holding out a hand. "Take it," She spoke quietly, her soft words not forming a request, but a demand. I did as I was told out of fear. Hailey was one of those people who seemed weak, but was actually extremely powerful. I didn't want to break any bones today...this was a chance for me to live and I intend to get out of here, hopefully unharmed.
I closed my eyes as her cold fingers gripped mine. Whispers seemed to surround me as I fell into the dark, as different voices told me different things that I was unable to understand at the same time. My mind was a perfect pandemonium at the moment. I could almost taste blood as I bit my lip, just as a shocking image flashed before my eyes.
Painfully obscene memories ran through my head, causing me to gradually remember. I finally cried out, unable to take it anymore. Fortunately for me, the images left me as I did so and darkness surrounded me as before, though I fell into complete silence this time.
---
"Dammit..." A pink haired girl muttered as she kicked the chair behind her away while standing up and glanced at the computer screen once more before leaving the room, her long hair previously pinned atop her head falling down behind her back as her hairclip somehow snapped in two. "Hey Elsa, come and look at this."
Another girl ran into the room that the pink haired girl was currently occupying, her emerald eyes sparkling with excitement. "What's up?"
"This," The girl stared at Elsa for a second before gesturing towards the glowing computer screen with a scowl upon her face. Elsa's eyes widened as her mouth fell agape, her face frozen into a horrified expression.

[Rainbowfish]

Apparently Peachie is everywhere these days.
You are talking about Peachie, right? o__O

[Roxy_Berry]

ZOMG how did you know? =O
I mean...you'll find out. ^^; -Laughs nervously-

[HoneyAngel]

Hmm, you should edit the thread, not post another post including another part of the story
But hey, that's your choice :)
It's pretty good :)
You have a talent for that, like me!

[Roxy_Berry]

Thanks ^^
Editing the thread would make the first page seem too long, though. o__O

[Rainbowfish]

...Please stop kissing my pillow and continue the story.

[Roxy_Berry]

But your pillow is my boyfriend. D;
Anyways. I'm working on another story right now and I'll update this after I finish the first chapter. =D

[lyndasis]

geee when i write two stories at the same time
i start getting confuzzled heehee i keep mixing up the characters
and i have to keep crossing out stuff...how bothersome
i guess some people like me i just not meant for multi wrtting:p

when i first saw pandemonium i was like whaaaat?you have very good and fancy
choice of words.

post more soon please.

[Roxy_Berry]

I shall. As soon as I finish the first chapter of Liquid Ice. =D
The IGM stories involves most of my characters which I use for everything, though in this story, the main character is nameless. o_O The two stories are going to be very different, so I hope that I won't mix them up. ^__^;
And "pandemonium" is the result of bad influence from Rainbowfish. o__o

[Rainbowfish]

Hey, don't blame me; you were the one who asked what it meant. = =+
