Reality (Male/Mature)

Her father was on the line with the dispatcher when the bullet came up through the floor hitting his wife. His voice went from calm to panicked as blood gushed from her. When he managed to get out for them to send an ambulance there were 4 sirens already pulling up. It took three minutes with the police looking from room to room and verifying nobody else was hiding anywhere before they opened the bedroom door. "Is everyone alright in here,........ Dispact, we need an ambulance right away!" He walked over to her father and talked with him for a few minutes. after talking with the father he walked over to the mother who seemed semi unconscious. It was about this time that he got an answer over the radio telling him what everyone in the house could hear pulling up.

Out on the street if four copcars pulling up at 2 am was not a reason to get attention to the neighbors an ambulance sure would be. The paramedics came in while the officer was examining the hole in the floor under their mother and walking downstairs quickly, getting out of the way while they did their work. Whatever was going on there seemed to be severe commotion going on downstairs. The officer came back up and got her father, telling Riley to wait up here, preferably in her room so she would not be in the paramedics way. for 10 minutes the police were downstairs with her father while Riley in her room had her own confrontation.

Three tallish black men, each built slightly differently were standing in her room. One had a hole through his left eye going deep into his head. One had a hole in his chest probably where his heart was while the third she could only see the hole in the back of his head while he turned. Standing between them and Riley was the ehadow creature with his swords drawn. The one with his eye missing was the first to talk, but it was obvious nobody outside this room could hear them. "Nigga please. You as dead as we are. Whatcha gonna do with tha blades muther fucker?" His answer was just an action, but it spoke louder than anything he could say. The swords glowed and vibrated as he aimed at one of the ghost, the one that had been talking. Slashes started cutting across him as if hundreds of men were cutting him while he was still alive. No matter how he flinched or tried to back away the slashes just kept adding to him for several minutes till he turned both swords away from them. When he had finished 8 dark creatures that seemed to neither have clothing or sexual organs seeped up from the floor with red glowing eyes that would remind one of looking into a blazing fire. ~I see your ride has arrived.~ The three men were screaming for help as they were dragged down through the floor by the darker creatures. ~Hells collection services. They will harm no one in the house except the corrupt who died. I give you one thought though. I saw the bullet too late that hit your mother and commend you for not panicking. You are the reason she will live.~ He sunk back into the floor but she could tell he was still listening.

Sitting on her knees she just looked at what was written, oh how she wished she knew what they where! She frowned and leaned forward as she tried so hard to brake the lettering. She felt something run though her hair and she smacked it away. “Don’t do that…” She whispered and then sighed. “What does those mean? I cant read it…” She motioned before her. She turned her face up and glanced around, her brows coming together. “Of course I do…” She felt her heart start to beat faster as fear came into her body. Her head snapped to the door and she got to her feet quickly. “Oh my god.” She whispered out the words as she walked towards her door. She nodded her head at his words.

Opening the door she stuck her head out and glanced around, not seeing anyone she closed the door and ran to her parents room and quickly came inside. “Did you hear that? Dad call the cops!” She shouted out to her father who didn’t need to be told twice and he quickly started to call. Turned to face the door her eyes went wide as she heard gun shots and shouting, what in the hell was going on down there? She was about to go down stairs when she heard a sound and turning her head she saw her mother. “Oh god mom!” Turning she ran to her and grabbed a hold of a sheet and pressed it to her shoulder. “Oh god stay with me mom!” She put more pressure against the wound.

When Riley was done rolling out all 12 pages and they had dried it looked as if someone had wrote a long story in japanese. All 12 pages were covered in small writing and almost filled the pages. He waited toll she had finished and was running her hands through her hair before whispering to her. "Tell me Young Riley,....... Do you value the life of your family?" He had no more than finished when there was a muffled sound of glass breaking. "I can feel three sets of footprints. Go to your parents and tell them to call the police but do not leave the room till they come." Sh watched as he sank through the floor drawing his swords as he went.

Her parents would have waken easilly enough as she got a sign to run to their room and lock the door. Several shots fired off downstairs and the scream let them know at least one of them had been shot by someone. Whatever was going on it seemed they were shooting one another and screaming out in pain the whole time. Over and over the bullets fired and the next sound while her father called the police was her mother screaming in pain. She was holding her shoulder and blood was spurting from it decently onto the bed as Riley sat near if she ran to her parents bedroom. She was bleeding decently as if a vessel had been shot. Thankfully whatever the shadow thing was that was the only bullet that came upstairs, but it had hit her mother.

Pressing her lips together she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the tubs and rolled them over her hands, trying to look at the images better. She turned her head and cast her eyes over the rest. “What is your story?” She winkles her nose as she looked at them, how could she even start to understand these? She sighed and looked back down at the tub. Selling them didn’t even cross her mind, these belonged to her family and who knew how long they had been inside the family. “I don’t even want to start to try and explain this to my family but thanks for laying the things out.” Getting up she walked over to the bowl of ink and rolled the scroll out, then she did the rest. She sat there and stared at the images. She lowered her head at his last words. “Oh shut up…” She muttered as she stood and looked at the things above. She took a deep breath and ran her fingers over her hair.

She realized two things as she snuck them down to her room. Firstly they seemed to feel like she was carrying close to 40 pounds inside the blanket. Secondly they clanged almost like solid metal chimes with each step till she got the hang of it. It took her several minutes to get them to her room. Once down there she unwrapped the cylinders. Looking at them here in her bedroom light she could tell there was no opening to these tubes. They were solid and forged with outstretching symbols. The fact that they were black and the rest of the 8 inch long tubes were gold it was obvious they were to be rolled in something before rolled across paper to make them press their writing out. The fact there were 12 of them meant this was some sort of story. The bad part was these gold tubes technically belonged to her family and selling them behind their back would be wrong. Her only option would be to put them back after she rolled them out to translate them.

In her mind she could hear the dark person talking again. ~While you were in the attic I placed paper and a bowl of ink on your table. Out of Honor you may choose whether to tell your parents or keep the scrolls hidden for a future generation. I will tell you one secret though that she bought a book on Japanese to english dictionary years ago because of the printing on the inside of the lid of the chest. Then again, the scrolls were rolled on the inside of the lid long ago and your mother did read thefull set of 12. It is a shame that the scrolls were not found to be sold to help your grandmother before she died.~ His words were as kind as rubbing salt in wounds as her grandmother had died due to them not getting a loan in time to have medicine shipped from china.

Squinting she leaned forward to try and get a better view, but it was all shadows. She sat up and glanced around and saw the mirror and smiled getting an idea. She climbed to her feet and she moved aside the cloth and she shifted it making it so there came no sound. She tilted it just so that the light shined down onto the chest. She moved back to the chest and leaned back down. She ran her fingers though her hair as she leaned closer. She ran her fingers over the symbols and tilted her head, she couldn’t read it and it made he mad. She pulled all the things out of the trunk and running her fingers over the bottom she found that something wasn’t right and she tilted her head and looked at the bottom. “Hm…”

Sitting up she glanced around the box and then she figured it had a false bottom. Reaching into the chest she ran her fingers over the sides and found something she quickly lifted the bottom up and she gazed down into the bottom and saw what was there and she tilted her head. “What in the world?” She frowned a little. She looked around and grabbed the sheet from the mirror and carefully placed the tubs on the sheet and then she placed the bottom back and all the sheets. She made a make shift caring thing with the sheet and got to her feet. She made her way back to her room, very quietly and carefully. She made it to her room with out waking her parents. Closing and locking the door she put the tubes on her bed and sat down and picked one up. She looked at it. “What is this?” She whispered and she tried to figure out how to open it.

As strange as the images felt on the outside of the chest, the fact that she could see nothing inside the box when she opened it. The inside was too dark to read, though in the moonlight she could make out symbols that look both dull enough to almost blend and odd enough to stand out. Moving a large easel standing mirror her mother kept in here she was able to highlight the chest well enough to tell the inside of the lid was written in some oriental language, though for age and without books she would not be able to translate it. The light let her see better what she was unable to see without it as the inside of the trunk's first layer was blankets, as black as darkness. Underneath these were other blankets, towels, tablecloths and doilies. When the trunk was empty it seemed to be odd as the feel of the inside seemed shorter than it should be.

The inside other than the lid was lined in black silk, making it close to impossible to see things. It kept tapping at her mind that the inside was a good 6 inches shorter than the outside meaning the bottom was a hidden compartment. Feeling carefully along the edges she was able to find a thin niche that opened like a pannel. It was odd her grandmother who had used this trunk for cyears before she died had never noticed it. Once it was open she could see sitting in 12 slots metal rolled tubes with outset symbols on them. she would have to be careful in moving them and putting everything back so her parents would not find out and even more careful to take these metal rollers down to her room to find out what they were. One thing was obvious, in this dim light if they were not gold it was something close.

Jumps back a little as he slams his hand down and she blinks a bit startled by his sudden movement. She glanced around the room, not seeing a thing that would say he was still there. She took a deep breath and bites at her lower lip. Her fingers play with the sash on her rob idly as she slowly bends over to pluck up the book he had been looking at. But she stopped when she heard the voice again, her fingers closing around her rob closing it tight as she glanced around again and sat up straight. “Stop playing games, I don’t understand!” She took a deep breath, wishing this was just one big bad dream.

Quickly she threw on a pare of pj bottoms and a black tank top. She then snuck out of her room and made sure her parents where asleep before she climbed the stairs to the attic. She glanced around the place, it wasn’t to dark, the moon shown in though the windows and she made her way to the back, moving aside some boxes of junk before she got to the chest. She kneeled down and whipped away the dust on chest. She took in all the images on the box and she ran her fingers over it. She remembered seeing this when she was little and she loved it, but she had forgotten it. “What am I supposed to do with this?” She frowned and then pushed the lid open. The images where so strange.

His hand snapped towards the ground as if he was hurling something. A puff of minor smoke rippled up from the floor and he was gone without a trace. Her schoolbooks still lay open on the bed beside her diary that had not been opened. She could hear his voice inside her head once more though he was not near. ~It would seem your ancestors young Riley never told you of the pact. For this reason I will walk you through a hunt since without the hunt you will never find my body. Now I have left your room and your mother has no knowledge on what her mother left to her in the old chest in the attic. I can see the rules plainly but unless you know what you are looking for you will not know what you are looking at.~

When she was last in the attic she possibly saw the trunk while moving boxes to get christmas ornaments. It was one of the oddest chests she had ever seen the mid area between two golden strips, one at the edge of the lid and one just above the feet with a scenery of native americans, the open plains, indian tent villages and other things that looked like america before the settlers. The top row in the strip was some sort of story of pictures showing ninjas, some female in a dress with a crown, fighting, and other odd figures that also seemed to cover the bottom row. In the middle along the back it had shown the female figure binding and nursing one of the ninjas. The lid was ornated with a map of Japan that showed several villages and plenty of writing in both Japanese and english naming the different villages. One of the spots was a monastery of Aino, but it was in the furthest north area of the island of Japan with no cities near it as if it was supposed to be away from the others. He was not talking now so whatever he wanted her to find was either inside the chest or the chest was some sort of secret map of instructions or story.

Throwing on a white fluffy robe and tying her hair up she walked into her room, busy with tying the sash of her rob at first she didn’t notice the person standing in her room. But then her head came up and she blinked seeing that someone had a hold of her book. She tilted her head and blink. “Uh…” She shakes her head as she takes a look at him, taking him in. She was scared she knew he wasn’t alive and she took a step back as she watched his swords. “What are you talking about?” She whispered glancing at her bedroom door and then back at him, why was she talking to this thing? “Huh? What are you talking about. I don’t understand a single thing you talking about. “ She shakes her head and closed her eyes for a moment. “What debt is this that your talking about?” She opened her eyes and looked at him, she crossed her arms over her chest and stared at him, she knew she should run but then again he did help her, right?

When Riley came out of the shower wearing a housecoat she re-entered her room to find an all black bodysuit standing there reading through her schoolbooks. Page after page turned with a swordtip as if he were not going to touch the books with his fingers. His hands were also coated in black gloves and his head was hooded with a black full facial scarf. Without turning to her she could hear him in her mind. ~Enter since the room is yours though here belongs to me. The world has changed much in,....." He flipped a paper of hers open that was dated. ~OVER 450 YEARS?!?!?~ He released his swords and they floated up, sliding in sheaths that seemed to blend in with his back. He turned to face her. ~It was 450 years to come full circle? That is truly dissapointing. It is ironic though that your ancestors and you live on the same land. However, the debt is far from paid and till then you are bound to me by ancient actions that your ancestral grandmother did.~ As he faced her the next oddity showed. Even though next to nothing beyond the slit of his eyes was uncovered the flesh was soot grey and his eyes were completely black without color.

There was a chance she might have seen his uniform in Ninja movies, but the garb was nothing like the Ninja suits she had ever seen. They were snug and the facial sections bound revealing just the eyes. Their fingers were uncovered. His suit was semi baggy on him though he was wearing the odd slippers and the right kind of bodysuit. As loose as it seemed to hang it still covered everything from his neck to his wrists and completely to his ankles. The black gloves seemed to be a metal chain with hooks on the inside in several rows as if the gloves themselves were some sort of cruel weapon. His hood, though it looked loose at first seemed to be lined with strips of throwing spikes, telling her that before he died he had more weapons than normal covering him from head to toe. His ashen skin and dark, colorless eyes were the only thing telling her he was some sort of shadowy creature. It would explain why he could blend with the shadows and not be seen, but he also seemed o be no ordinary ghost as if he was some evil. The oddest part was that his actions had not harmed her in the slightest, but protected her. Though he probably could have he did not attack the police, but showed them something that got their attention away from her. It was as if he were both protecting her and making sure where she was if she were safe.

Riley’s mind was racing how was this possible? How did that man get up there, so quickly? She shakes her head this wasn’t happening! She covered her face with her hands, crying so hard as she did so. Who was that man who had grabbed the man attacking her? How did he do such a wicked thing? She didn’t want to know she was to scared to know. She felt her body shaking as she sobbed and sobbed again. Then it came to her, a ghost…well maybe or the voice inside her head…She knew that all of this had something to do with that voice inside her head.

Slowly she removed her hands from her face and looked at the cops, she could tell that they thought it was her. She shakes her head. “No, I was walking home….an-and this guy came and tried to take my money and then something attacked him.” Her hand motioned to the alley way. “But I have no idea what it was.” How could she tell them that she though it was none human? She started to shake as she though they were going to take her in and jail her for this wicked crime. She sat up as she heard the sound but she couldn’t see anything and she frowned as she tried to get a look at what was being done. “Wh-whats going on?” She speaks in a shaky voice as they took her out of the car and moved her to another and she glanced around. But she couldn’t see a thing.

What are you talking about…oh god I am talking to a voice inside my head! There was no way she was going to be speaking to this thing out side her head, she didn’t want the cop to think she was crazy or anything. She told him where and pointed the way out, how was she going to talk to her parents. Walking with her head bowed she got to her front door and then glanced up at her parents. “You can have these very soon…I don’t want it back…” With that she ran inside. “Mom, dad not right now. I need to take a shower but I can tell you this I didn’t do anything wrong…” With that she ran up to her room. Slamming and locking the door she pulled her cloths off and hopped into the shower.
