Chapter 3 - A Horrible Memory

So, I'm still going with this, and I really like how much better it is then the original. Btw, I suppose no one I know really reads this, so when this is optioned for a movie, I WILL LAUGH IN YOUR FACE.



Mmkay, on to the chapter now.



-------------------------------------------------






High in the sky, a plane has taken off and flies briskly. The peaceful air is a complete opposite to the chaos that took place a few minutes ago inside the plane. The woman from before now shuts the door to the cockpit, leaving behind a trail of bloody bodies on the floor. Each seat on the plane is covered, almost drenched in blood, and yet the woman couldn't seem to be happier at this site. Her happiness faded, however, as she focused on the business she had to take care of at this time. She saw 2 demons fighting over the controls to the plane, and immediately snapped her fingers, which stopped them instantly as they sat in their respective pilot and co-pilot seats. She saw 2 more demons approach and salute her, and she replied with an annoyed face
"At ease, nimwits. We're almost to the drop point. So, are we ready to go, or what?"
They slowly lowered their salute, and one of them replied
"Yes, Ma'am! But..."
She sighed and asked
"What is it now?"
The demon was clearly afraid of her, and nervously answered back
"Well, it's just that...why do we need to drop materials on them? Why don't we just kill them like any other human?"
The woman smirked, and put her hands delicately on the demon's cheeks, forcing him to look her directly in her crimson eyes, and replied
"Because everything happens for a reason."
As soon as she ended her sentence, she snapped his neck, giving him a quick and painless death. The demon fell to the floor, as lifeless as a rag doll, and she looked at the other demon saying
"Now get to the back and make sure we're completely prepared."
The demon didn't hesitate, and quickly flew out the cockpit, for fear of being killed like his comrade. The woman then knelt down to the corpse whispering in his ear
"The plan's a bit convoluted, but trust me, it'll all work out eventually."
The plane continued flying and down below there was a road sign which read "Evergreen City ahead."



Meanwhile, the unsuspecting teenagers walked down their long, winding street, along with May's new pet dog, Tank. Brandon didn't like dogs, nor pets in general, and when he looked down at May's dog, it would growl at him. Brandon asked May
"Why's your dog so hostile, May?"
"Hostile?" May asked as she looked down at Tank. It panted happily and barked like a puppy. May looked back at Brandon and, while smiling, answered
"I bet he's just shy around strangers. I'm sure he'll get used to you eventually."
That didn't help Brandon's current dislike of the dog, and looked forward, attempting to ignore the dog. As Eric continued to look forward, his face seemed grim and he couldn't shake this bad feeling he still had. Christina leaned in to look at him, and asked
"Hey Eric, what's wrong? You look like you just saw a ghost."
Eric stopped, and his friends did as well, now generally concerned about their friend as he answered
"I don't know, I just have a really bad feeling all of a sudden."
Brandon, worried about his friend, asked
"You alright, Psy? I don't want you throwng me off my game if you're sick or something."
Well, he cared enough to ask. Eric looked up to the cloudy sky, and replied
"Don't you guys think today feels...different, somehow?"
May was curious as to why he would ask that, and bluntly answered
"But then sun's shining, the birds are singing, and we're all together having fun! What could be wrong with today?"
As usual, May was filled with joy on this beautiful day, but who could blame her? It was another summer day for Eric and his friends, nothing different except the date, June 26th. Eric felt differently than his friends and told May
"Well May, I'm not sure if you know about today, but-"
Before Eric could continue, Christina put her hand on his shoulder saying
"It's alright, Eric. You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to."
May was now very curious of what her friend was worrying about, and asked
"I'm sorry to ask this but, why is today any different than the past few days?"
Eric clearly didn't want to talk about it, and sighed saying
"No Christina, May's my friend, and it's better that I tell her now than never."
Since Eric had only known May for about a month, she didn't know him as well as Christina and Brandon did. Even though Eric didn't show it, he had been very depressed since April. Of course, not thinking about it let him get on with his life, but he knew it wouldn't end there. Beginning to explain, Eric turned to May and said
"Before I met you, May, something terrible happened to me and... my dad. You see, 2 months ago my dad was driving me up to my grandfather's house, up in the mountains..."



(FLASHBACK, TWO MONTHS AGO)


A long, winding road is paved on a narrow mountain path as a '67 black Chevelle drives steadily on the aforementioned road. Inside the car lies Eric Psyria and his father, Robert Psyria, as they conversed peacefully. Eric calmly narrates to his friends
("We were driving up to my grandfather's house that day. Since he was a nature fanatic, he lived up in the mountains and worked as one of those "free-love" guys who sold organic food. My dad was talking to me about how I was going to be driving in the next few months...")
"So, you think you'll be driving this beauty soon?" Robert asked, looking over to his son and smiling. Eric chuckled slightly, and answered
"It's not like you're going to buy me one, cheapskate."
Jokingly, Robert messed with Eric's hair and laughed while he replied
"Hey, respect your elders."
Admittedly, Eric's father was a role model to him, and since Eric was an only child, him and his father bonded like most fathers and sons. They went to baseball games, played frisbee, and even went to the carnival whenever it was open. Eric sighed and ominously continued narrating
("...Just like that, all those good times we had were gone.")
Robert wasn't watching the road as he patted his son on the head, and he missed the tight turn just as Eric shouted
"Look Out!"
Before Robert could react, the car veered off the road and soared through the air. In just 3 short seconds, all Eric could hear was screaming, and then nothing at all. Eric continued narrating as he revisited what had happened in his mind again
("I blacked out, and woke up a few hours later, still in the car with...my dad.")
Eric slowly inched his way up from the passenger's seat. His air bag had deployed and his seatbelt was torn in half, leaving most of his seat unoccupied. The car was completely flipped over, making the space Eric had to move around in very confined. While Eric only had a few wounds, his father wasn't as lucky.
"Dad?" Eric called to his father, trying to see him and waiting for an answer as he struggled to turn around. There was none, however, as Eric stared in horror as his father's corpse waslting next to him. His face was shoved into the steering wheel, and blood gushed out of his forehead. Eric quickly crawled out of the broken window next to him and ran towards the city. Eric tried, in vain, to forget what he saw, but he knew it would haunt him....and it sure did.
("My dad was dead, and I didn't want to think about it.")


(END FLASHBACK)


Eric continued telling May his tragic story as her eyes started to tear up
"So I tried not to think about it, but that's kind of difficult since today was supposed to be his birthday."
May pulled Eric into a strong, tight hug as she cried on his shoulder and said
"That's too sad! I know how you feel!"
Tank sidled up to May's leg, and brushed his head against her knee. She quickly reacted by letting go of Eric and picking up Tank, looking into his Indigo eyes and asking
"Don't you think that's sad, Tank?"
Tank seemed to understand, and nodded, which led to May hugging Tank against her. Brandon already knew this story, and, cring about his friend's welfare, said
"Look Psy, we can go to his grave and pay our respects if you want."
Eric, without looking at his friend, quietly replied
"What grave?"
Christina, shocked at this new discovery, asked Eric
"What!? Why wasn't he buried?"
Eric became very defensive, quickly turning back to Christina and answering
"I couldn't go back there, all right!? I don't even wanna think about it, so just drop it!"
Brandon noticed Eric's anger and cautiously said
"Woah, calm down, Psy. Let's just go to the park and forget about it then."
Brandon put his arm over Eric in a brotherly way, and led him forward, letting May, Christina, and Tank follow behind them. Perhaps the memory of his father was the omen he was looking for, but he didn't think to put two and two together.



Meanwhile, The demon re-entered the cockpit of the plane, dragging some blood on the ground, and then said
"Yes Ma'am, the cargo is set to drop on your...command?"
The demon looked around, confused as to where his commander was, and called out
"Ma'am?"
Now he was getting paranoid. What if she was going to kill him next? Suddenly, a small voice from behind him whispered
"This is so boring."
The demon jumped forward and turned around to see the woman standing behind him for a quick second before she pushed him to the ground. Before he had a chance to react, she pounced onto him and held him down by his chest. He asked
"Ma-Ma'am!? What are you do-"
She shushed him by putting her finger up to his lip and asking
"C'mon. Can't you entertain me?...Just a little?"
Her other hand started moving to the demon's lower area as he was sweating like crazy. His commander was coming onto him, viciously, and he couldn't really stop her. Just as she was close to his waist, the pilot shouted back
"Ma'am! We are about to reach the drop point! Shall we prepare the cargo?"
"Dammit!" The woman quickly pushed off of the demon, hurting his chest a bit, and leaving him with a sense of relief in avoiding the most awkward thing he would ever do. She picked the demon off the ground and pointed to the back, signaling him to leave, and he wasted no time doing so. The woman turned to the pilot and walked over, saying
"A girl can't have a little fun these days, can she?"
The pilot simply replied
"Nope. Plan's too important to you, I'm just trying to keep ya on task."
She frowned, but slightly agreed as she looked through the windsheild saying
"Whatever. The sooner we get through with this, the sooner we can go through with phase two."
The pilot turned to her, confused, and asked
"What's phase two?"
She patted him on the head, treating him like a child, and replied
"Well, it doesn't concern you."
The pilot faced the front again, choosing to ignore his commander's rude comment like always. The clouds in front of them cleared and revealed the small town of Evergreen City, and the woman's mouth slowly formed an evil grin.



Elsewhere, the teenagers were playing basketball, and Brandon had just made a three-pointer, celebrating by dancing. Christina quickly responded by smacking the back of his head again, prompting an "OW!" from Brandon. Suddenly, a plane flew over the park, dropping large barrels as it zoomed by. Everything suddenly went completely silent and seemed like it was in slow-motion as Eric wondered
("What's that?")
May was afraid, and rightfully so, seeing many people in the park flee from the area the teens were centered in. Tank began to tug at May's shirt, wanting to get her away, while Christina started shouting and grabbing Brandon, ready to run. Eric, however, didn't run as Chrstina called out for him to get out of the way. His eyes widened as a barrel was going straight for his forehead and in a quick flash of light, Eric was knocked unconcious.




Later, it was nighttime as the woman from earlier walked through the park, seeing the teenager's unconcious bodies as she hummed to herself. She ended up at Eric's body, and kneeled over him, whispering to him
"What's the best part of an egg?"
She gently lifted his head and held his face close to hers as she continued
"...the yolk inside when you break it open."
She then forced him into a kiss, savoring every second before she felt something rising from his body. The deep kiss made the woman glad she could steal this boy's first one. Then, She quickly threw him back down as his body shook franticly. She jumped backwards when something reached out from his forehead, a hand. It grabbed the side of his head, and then another one reached out and pushed down, thrusting something out from his head. It flew to the ground behind him, and layed there for a few seconds as the woman stood up and looked over, trying to find where it went. Suddenly, it jumped up and yelled out
"GAH!!!"
Not fearing it, she said
"Shut up."
It faced her and stared at her with thin, green eyes. It was like a creature made purely of shadows, looking like it was attached to the ground due to the lack of light. It quietly asked
"Who are you?...Who am I?"
The woman quickly and calmly responded
"The only thing you need to know is that you're here to help me. Now, follow along."
She started walking away and the man-like creature behind her started following before he turned around and noticed the teenager behind him. He felt an immense anger welling up inside him as he asked
"That boy...Why do I feel such hatred for him?"
The woman bluntly replied
"Because he made you feel like that. Trust me, I'll explain later. Okay boys, start dragging these kids back to their places."
The demons started hovering over to the teenagers, lifting them up by their arms, and then carrying them off. She then pointed to Tank, who began shaking and whimpering slightly while unconcious, and said
"Except that one, leave him. We'll be back for him later."
The two began walking away as the demons flew away from the park and Tank's legs began to morph slightly.
