Stun of Darkness: Strewn Disasters {(Chapter 3 is posted.)}

Chapter - 1

“To be a star, you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest”

Amarantha, a girl of a thousand obscurities, constantly felt like someone drew an opaque veil over her face... and always saw darkness...

She was one who was consistently lost. But she was, nevertheless, happy...

She reached into her picnic basket, had let her legs slouch out, and stared fondly out to Devils Lake. “Mum, dad... isn't it marvelous?” She gradually pulled out a water bottle.
“It was surely worth the drive to Lincoln City,” her father acknowledged. He sat on her right, on the cloth covering up the soggy ground. On her left, her mother retorted; “I still wonder why it's called Devils Lake... when it's just so divine...”
Amarantha chortled moderately in response. “I think that's just the whole wisecrack... seeing it's actually heavenly,”
Her father snorted, her mother beamed. Everything was just too perfect at Devils Lake.

Elsewhere, back in Oregon City, a run-of-the-mill boy was sitting at the fanciest local library next to his friend Scottie, both sticking their noses in books over an elaborate trestle table.
“Why're you reading that thing again, Ryley?” Scottie pondered after a moment. Ryley kept reading, and shrugged in an inattentive manner. Scottie sighed gutsily.
“Or maybe I should call you 'Big Fat Boring Novel Mutation'.”
Ryley rended his gaze off of the book unwillingly. “I've been labeled worse than that.”
Scottie scowled. And Ryley turned his attention away.
“What's so humongous about some dready, old novel anyway?” he reproached tauntingly.
“The fantasy. The witchcraft, the black art, the whole necromancy...” Ryley answered robotically.
Scottie's grimace stayed graven on his face like he wore a mask.
“I had no idea you were into that hocus-pocus!” he protested with a turbulent yell.
A few people eyeballed them, now. Ryley's whole face flushed.
“Why don't you just shut up,” he suggested shyly, veering his face closer into the book. “And incidentally, I prefer the term 'jiggery-pokery' when it comes to magic.” he added, rolling his eyes sarcastically... always wondering why and how he became a comrade to this guy.

And with that, Scottie didn't break the silence anymore, the perfect remedy for Ryley to calm down... he goggled his friend as he started reading his manga again, and his features softened abruptly. Ryley relaxed once again into the fancy seat and kept on reading his book, completely soothed the minute he laid eyes on it, as it spoke of occult enchantment, supernatural savage brutes, The Sixth Sense, Warlocks, exorcism, parapsychology and voodoo...

And he yearned for all of that to exist someday for him to not just eyewitness, but... experience. Seriously, what better thing was there to run your hands over these days, other than bewitching nonesense..?

Awesome. Moooooore.

Thankies!

I'm so glad you like it, regardless of it's way too early to understand exactly where it's all going. But you soon will,

But actually, it would take little while for the story to formally reach it's peak, considering the length of the chapters... aye, I may certainly need to fix that problem up soon, =/

One question, why Oregon? That's where my grandmother lives, I don't like it much

Other than that great story, i cant wait for chapter 3....

Really? Wow,
I dunno, it was purposeless. I just needed a setting. A random setting, . And trust me, I've never even been there, myself. And honestly, I live very, very far away from there.

But thank you for the well-bred and phrased way to say that you don't like Oregon City that much...
And thank you for the pleasurable post. I'm truthfully gratified you like it.

... And I can't wait for Chapter 3 myself, because I ended Chapter 2 on a cliff-hanger...

You so need more Amarantha-ness. x_x

And, y'know. You should have asked to have my charrie [Amarantha's mother; Roperi] in this story, before actually putting her in. But considering you've already started, I'll give you permission to put her in. Would this also be a semi-fanfic considering it's partially based off of the RP? Oh and, for Roperi, go ahead and mention her name. Please don't have her die. x_x And.. erm.. Keep her original personality. I also give you permission to also let her become the beast. 8D

I created this Amarantha before I used her name in the RP. So this is another Amarantha. In the normal, human world. And I just solely used her name for the other Amarantha in 'My Fate was Yours -- Our Fate was Death.' So this is a completely different one, yep, yup, aye, aye...

x_x

-nothing else self can say-

O_O

Oh... 'kay?

Well, nevertheless, thank-you all. And... I finally remember now that I started a story and I have to finish it... *Facepalms*

I've been so very busy, lately. But yet I feel like a lump. So, that, and I just wanted to say that'll I'll certainly have Chapter 3 up today.
*Puts on thinking cap*

I'll need to get myself inspiration but I swear I will.

Okay, now, for a period of time the story will be written in Amarantha's P.O.V (Point of View.)
I just wanted to introduce Ryley right in the begining. Because he will be important later on and develop a lot as a character,

As will other characters, too.

And honestly, I haven't tried that hard to make Chapter 3 this scary...
... I scare myself, sometimes. I just did. Just by reading Chapter 3. o_O

What I just said was very... weird. O_o

Pfft. Anyways... I'll start sticking to the topic, now.

Chapter 4's coming up shortly!

Tomorrow at a push... but I'm still sort of busy... xD
