LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 1: Chapter 1: A Meeting.
The halls of the Green's underground lab were dimly lit, the sound of the crystals powering the various machines and computers hummed softly.
Russ, lost in his thoughts, was walking aimlessly down a hallway not paying much attention to where he was going, when a sound broke him out of his reverie. *Tap Tap* *Tap Tap Tap* 'Is that the sound of typing?' Russ thought to himself. He followed the sound, as it grew louder it also grew more frequent, then louder again then…Angrier? "AAAHHHH!! YONGBU BE DAMNED!" A loud voice screamed from behind the door a meter or so in front of Russ.
He stopped, readying himself, his hand wrapping around the handle of the black sword at his side. This particular sword, was black in color and had a symbol of a dragon's head in front of a black shield that has two crossed chains around the shield on the hilt.
He put a lot of faith in this sword and its power and it hadn't let him down yet. As he approached the door, another loud scream rang out viciously from the other side. Russ quickly pressed the button and the door slid open with a loud *WOOSH*, he rushed in drawing his sword, as he rushed in, his foot kicked an empty Mountain Dew can that was on the floor, alerting the person in the room to his presence.
The chair spun around quickly to reveal a frazzled but beautiful, blue haired girl. She had shiny blue scales on her face and fair skin with a tint of blue, it was none other than, Ceril. She stared at Russ, her hair a little messy and her face a little flushed, "OH! Russ!" Ceril said with shock in her voice, "what…what are you doing here?".
"Me?" Russ asked, quickly hiding the sword behind his back, "I could ask you the same question!!".
As they stared at each other Russ thought she looked kind of cute, sitting there, her hair frazzled, her cheeks flushed. "I thought someone was being attacked!" Russ hurriedly said, realizing he was staring far longer than he planned. Ceril, fixing her hair replied, "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize anyone was down here. Logan suggested I try playing video games to pass the time, I'm just not that good at them" she explained shyly, her face starting to heat up.
Russ regarded her for a second then said "Well, I'm glad you're beautiful… ALRIGHT…I'm….I mean… I'm glad I'm good…YOU…I'm glad you're alright that is and that nothing is murdering you!" Russ said, fumbling his words. 'What is wrong with me?' Russ reprimanded himself, "Do you like help with your games!" Russ stammered "I mean that is, do you want help?", 'Stupid, stupid, stupid" Russ cried in his mind. Ceril giggled, "No that's ok, but thank you for your concern." An awkward silence fell between them.
After a few moments Russ spoke up, rubbing the back of his neck, "Yeah sure it's no problem" and turned and hurried out of the room.
As Russ was practically running down the hall he thought to himself 'good now I can go put my hand in a blender you bumbling idiot' but before he could turn the corner, Ceril's voice could be heard, "Russ! Russ wait!" She called "what are you doing right now?" Russ stopped and turned around, "I'm just uh…not doing anything really", he said, his face heating up, "Then maybe you can escort me safely to my room?" Ceril said, shuffling her feet.
Russ, feeling a strange tingle…in his cheeks, said, "Um yeah, yeah it would ve pleasurable…..I mean, it would be my pleasure".
Russ wanted to die right then and there.
He couldn't understand what was happening. Why did he feel so weird when looking at the Mervamp? It was a strange feeling, but he, kind of wanted to pursue it.
