《Amber》Ch 15 bloodied night
Advertisement
mc POV
I woke up startled when I noticed Elena was back. Caramel was still sleeping soundly. I don't know how to feel after that dream. My feelings were confused, there was a hint of anger in me. Am I fusing with Airi. Instead of getting a answer from Elena she shushed me. But I noticed the scent of blood in the air.
Ugh I feel so confused from these dreams. Am I going to turn cold and start hating men because her past. Also it seems Caramel's closeness calms me down. If anything it's like when you have a older sister. Well in this case she's 14 years old but looks 20 so she can pass for the looks department. I just sat in the bed trying to organize my emotions. Rules are weird. I have a strong feeling that these dreams might be more than dreams. Though they throw off my feelings, it makes me feel emotionally unstable.
I want to lay myself back down on the bed and sleep while I sort out my feelings. This made me remember my sisters and their personality of being stubborn. I smiled softly, they my sisters were mostly raised by me since mother was always on trips for work. I cook and cleaned the two back in elementary. I mean 17 and those two are just 2 years apart from me. Haruna has probably just turned 15 and Hana's birthday is in just 2 days.
An intense feeling of hatred fell upon me making me flinch. No this can't be I don't want to be like this. I don't want to be taken over. This is my body Airi! No one's taking my freedom from me. Instead I curled up into a ball on the bed as I tried to fight the emotions from Airi back in those 'dreams'.

??? POV
I ran for my dear life as I clung to my left arm, I was wounded by some unknown creatures. This city was bathed in blood. The guards couldn't even dent those crazy things armor. Rather I'm puzzled by the fact they even tried to spear that monster. It didn't look human from those movements, it had no face, was shaped like a human but only a mouth. It's gender looked male but you can tell it had no gender. It ripped whatever was in its path and eat whoever seemed to be coming into its path.
Even though I know I can't out run it but my life was shortening over the blood loss. A pair of clawed hands ripped into my stomach. Damn I still got caught in the end was the lost thing I thought as I knew it would rip me apart.
MC POV
I let out a painful scream as I stumbled to get the door. "Let me take over your body for now. your useless against that failure experiment from man kind's sin. These things shouldn't be left to the old generation. For this once let me out," Airi reasoned.
"No I wish to have this body for myself. And not to lose it."
"Really then I'll say this the humans back then had a society much like humans before the souls beasts appeared. They used to experiment on other races they caught in secret and ended up with a failure mindless monster that eats anything that has meat and can move. Now let me ask you this they later meet there demise by the very thing they created. Then there was a nuclear war, the soul beasts were created after the nuclear wars. Now let me ask you for this taboo that can move faster and is smarter than you by centuries of survival since then. Can you win," Airi asked.

Her voice sounded cold, but I had the feeling from her she didn't say all of the information for my own good. Rather she obstructed the important facts from me.
"Your me aren't you," I asked shakily.
"Yes at one point. I was you in the past, before they sealed me into a human body as a excuse to reincarnate me. Well the good news was that the soul in this body had died before we were born," Airi joked half heartedly.
"Fine I'll lend you my body but just this once. Let me ask you, if your the past me what are you now," I asked.
"The past ego of you. The current you is me and is the original is you, just your personality has changed because you didn't have all my memories crapped into your brain. Actually that'd hurt for a baby's brain. Especially the centuries of memories so the me then thought wouldn't it be better to start anew without those memories here," Airi answered.
(If your wondering the Airi she's talking to is the personality her original her left in case of a emergency. So as she stated she's not the original since that'd be Clare our mc. Also throughout the chapters Clare may have acted like she didn't care but she does care a lot if her personality gets changed.)
So you idiot did this on a whim, but then that meant it was all in Airi's plan. I shivered at the thought. My hair turned blue green as Airi took over me. A red and black glove appeared on my left hand. Wait did my chest just grow.
"It's no use worrying about your chest. You do know that we can choose our age. Well you haven't hit 20 yet for your age so good luck there. Also my chest is a G cup. Not C like yours," Airi said.
Wait you didn't have to run it in on me, I wanted to shout. Why'd she have to say it out loud.
"I'm sorry that your acting like that because your feminine side is conflicted over it. But rather isn't it just that you don't learn etiquette and to be elegant," Airi countered.
Don't rub it in when your gracefully walking to the front door of the inn. "Caramel and Elena stay put at the inn. And no matter what happens outside stay inside the inn," Airi ordered.
"Understood," they both answered.
Airi gracefully fixed her right bang going into her eyes.
(Damn your more girly then me)
"Now, now don't be jealous I still have to track a failed experiment," Airi said.
(Easy for you to say)
"See I'm not like you who acts nonchalant and acts like she doesn't care but in fact is very girly. But doesn't know how to express her feminine side since she's taken care of her sisters first before her own happiness," Airi countered.
(Lovely to know your not just using my body as excuse to also use those skills of yours to flaunt)
"I wouldn't do that since I'm also you," Airi said.
A halberd appeared in my right hand as she followed the newly made trail of blood in front of us.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Second Chances
Given a chance for reincarnation and tasked by the System, I picked the Sidhe for this second life. A world of Seelie, Unseelie, Kelpie, Redcaps, and Slaugh. The Gods of the Tuantha de Danann forced into sleep, the people forced to remain locked on their home planet. In this latest Book, Teigh Mac de Beleros y Cyronax has saved his people from stagnation and ruin. His denouncement of Olympus and Asgard before the Universal Senate has allowed the Sidhe to break the ties that constrained them, and the chains that kept them rooted to their home world. But the Sidhe and the Tuatha de Danann are unique across all multi-verses and all Pantheons. They have the unique ability to travel anywhere and anywhen. But this ability comes at a cost. The Tuatha de Danann do not have incarnations seeded across each Universe. There is only one Tuatha de Danann, and when Athena and Loki come to Teigh with the tales of a plot that will destroy not only the Tuatha de Danann but the multi-verse, he removes his crown to once more face off against Zeus and Odin and save his people. Second Chances has been taken down for editing and a major rewrite...
