The Pack

[Shadow Blade]

-Chapter 1 ~ The Desecration-

PART I of III
The boat swirved off to starboard, where the suppliment of materials for the ship to survive had been placed. "STOP THAT DELIVERY!" the captain shouted from the otherside of the broad ship. The crew scrambled on towards the barrels and boxes, but the boat would swirve the other way before they could reach it.
"Gah, this blubberin' sea crew aint worth nothin'!" the captain mumbled to himself. Standing proud, the boat swirved once again, and the captain fell over board. And he is yet to find. The crew eventually found their way to the shipment, but very few crates were left. Half of the package had been thrown off to starboard, lost at sea.
As for the captain, well he's just another tale in the book. His skeleton was found just months later, washed up on this very lake. Some say his soul walks among the grounds we step on, and well, who knows. You might be the next to join his crew.

"Baha! You call that a ghost story?" Billy chuckled. "That's more like a childrens story if you ask me!" What was in the package, oh might teller of horrid stories!" No one laughed. Billy was an idiot, as usual.
"Thanks Billy, please go see the camp director in the morning, because I'm off to Greece tonight. I won't be back for a while." I said. Everyone whined. I chuckled and began to tell them of my times with my new husband, and how we'd been planning on the trip since May of last year.
"But who will direct the stories?"
"Yeah, who?!"
"When are you coming back? We'll miss you!"
"Could you please bring me back a souvenier?"
Questions left from right, I hushed the youngsters before they overwhelmed me with stupid questions. "I will be back by the end of the Fall. Its only a month. Yes, Jacob I can bring you a souvenier."
"YES!"
"Don't be expecting too much thou, I need to stay on budget." I said. I stood up and waved the kids goodnight and they headed off to their cabins. Truthfully, I loved working with the little brats, not that they're brats but you get the point. The nature, that was my vantage point. I could find myself out of the toughest situations, even was in the Navy for quite some time. Not much of a full experience, quit after 3 years, so I found myself as a ranger at Camp McDag'mal. [Mecdaegmel] So I walked to the RV from where the campfire blazed in the distance. All of a sudden, a cold chill ran down my back. Shivering, it was that night. Below freezing, and I had no coat on. I hoped in my Ford and drove to the airpost, about 50 miles from the camp. I cranked the heat on full blast and sang a few tunes, even if I wasn't the best singer.

The airport: most annoying place ever. Can't get anywhere without running into someone that you either know or don't. Either way, your gonna have to strike up a conversation, and fast. So, plain and simple try to avoid it, and eye contact, ha! Being in the Navy has taught me a lot of things I don't totally need to know, but hey. What the hay right?
"Miss, may I please see your tickets?" the ticket lady said. I looked around, but my husband was still not here. So I asked if I could wait a little longer, but she said I had to get on now, because the flight was about to take off. So I decided to stay off. The lady was about to close the door before I saw hbim running up the aisle behind me.
"MA'AM! Wait!" he screamed. The lady looked up and reopened the door. We both got on together, and sat in our seats.
"Where were you?" I asked. He looked at me, huffed and puffed, big bad wolf style. "Bathroom, why?"
"What takes you so long to go to the bathroom?"
"Not much actually, but an old friend of mine saw me and started a convo-"
"Remember, never make eye contact! What have I said?"
"Nothing that has been able to stay in my mind I guess." he chuckled. I shouldered him and sat waiting for the flight to take off.




Interesting new story. This is still only Part I, I'm working on a part two now, so when I update, its going to be good. I promise (maybe).

[Darklightr]

Hmm. Interesting start. For a second I though it was going to be a spin-off of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and the Olympians and his newer books The Heroes of Olympus series'. This has got some potential, SB

[Shadow Blade]

Thanks bro. Wasn't really thinking about the Rick Riordan series (even thou they are one of the best books I have ever read). I was leaning kind of toward a mix between TQ and some sort of dramatic experience, cuz I'm thinking in the story line as it goes along that I can make it look like the camp counsler (Jerry Steilmas) and her husband (Adam Steilmas) would go thru the entire game together, Greece, Egypt, Orient, then the Underworld, depending on how I feel at the end of the Acts. Yeah. And more or less, I want them to think they're living it when all they're doing is dreaming it. So I'm thinking on the way to Greece, they'd have a dream that they were at the riverbank at the start of the game, with the horse and the few monsters in the field. And when they wake up, they're at their destination, and when they fall asleep, then go back to the same storyboard, and as it goes they're almost tortured by the thought of the dream, so they try to fgure out why these dreams keep occuring.

[Darklightr]

Wow! Sounds absolutely riveting! I honestly can't wait for more! My reading has been up lately (Reading Game of Thrones right now), so expect lots of criticism from me as my mind will always been on "ALERT"

[Shadow Blade]

Reading "The Hunger Games" for when the new movie comes out in I think March. I'll have the next part up tomorrow morning, hopefully. Don't know because of time frames and when I get up and etc. School dooesn't help the fact at all, so I'll type it up tonight and post it tomorrow in the morning.

[Darklightr]

I've read the Hunger Games as well. They are amazing books and I recommend them to everyone! (Though this probably isn't the place to do so )

[Alek_tq]

Hey thar!
Could you, perhaps, space out every paragraph with additional ENTER? In my opinion, that makes things a bit neater.

k!

-Chaper 1 ~ The Desecration-

Part II of III
Part of the flight I had brought along a laptop from which the camp councler had brought to me on the first day on the job, mainly for work and making sure the kids were all in check. But so why can't I have fun?
Oh wait, I haven't introduced myself or anyone else. I'm Jerry Steilmas, country girl by heart, blonde, and don't get me started on anything else. As lean as you could get me, I guess, as well as quite gorgeous. I guess thats why the kids love me so much. Huh, never came to mind, gotta write that in my journal. I picked a book up earlier on the way to the airport, actually wanting to read instead. Lost in thought, I must have drifted off somewhere, because I had woke up, headache. In some sort of canoe or something, because I felt the water under me rocking the slender structure back and forth.

"What the..." I mumbled. Across form the dock, I heard Adam, my husband. He was wearing some sort of brown longskirt torso thing. "Adam, what... where are we?" He looked around, and he seemed to chuckle as he did.
"Um, well this looks like... San Fransisco!" he joked.
"Adam, do NOT play Melman right now." I shouted. "Where the Hell are we?"
"I don't know truthfully."

"Well, then what the?" I looked at his side. Some sort of knife looked like it was lodged into him. He revealed it was just a slot in his torso belt. "You have one too." I looked, and he was right. I took mine out and examined. Copper, a copper knife. Familiar enough, I looked around, when some stranger speaking some language yelled at us. Oddly enough, I recognised the language: Greek.

"Hey, you there! Soldier!" he hollered. "If you come looking for peace you won't find it here in Helos!" I looked at Adam, who knew exactly what was going on.

"We're dreaming!" he said. "Its obvious, we're dreaming. I know how to get us out, close your eyes." I did so. A few seconds later, I was still on the banks of the river, the odd man approaching me. I closed a little longer. I got nothing. I ran out towards the docks, grabbed Adam and we ran to the docks. All of a sudden, some powerful force forced us back. Almost like a trampoline in our way. Light, but painful as we landed. I must have smashed my head on a rock for some reason, but that was when we woke up.

"Adam... Adam!" I croaked. He stood up almost completely, if it weren't for the seatbelt. "You see that?" He stared at me and nodded his head. Confused, I just stood up and went to the bathroom.



Yeah, this better Alek?

[Darklightr]

Nice! This part adds a deep, dark side to the first NPC we see in TQ. Nice little addition there SB I like it, keep it up lad

Thanks! I was aiming for kind of an inner sort of bond between the game and a few of my failed stories (the plane to Greece). Although in the other stories I wouldn't think you would have a plane ride to anywhere, considering time and date of the assumed date on the game. Anyways, yea I was going for some sort of criteria where the characters fall out of love, then it would make it even more dramatic that they keep seeing each other and they have to find out TOGETHER what was going on. So yeah I really think imma keep this going as long as possible, unlike my other stories.
