Darian Contest Entry: Flight Transfer Prep

The alien lake was quiet, save for the clunking of the machines and the massive pipes running into it from the facility on the shore. The liquid wasn’t water, and instead was neon blue with white ash, flowing like water with whisps of what looked like steam wafting from the top… but it was cold enough to freeze human flesh solid in minutes.

Non-human flesh was a different ma

I
groan as my alarm blares, that horrible beep-beeping… I start to
move to get out of bed but get stopped.
“No.”
Rena tightens her grip on me. After her near-death experience she
insisted we share the same bed every night, even after all this time.
I was absolutely willing to embrace that idea, though it did mean
getting out of bed in the morning was that much harder.

Though
I was focused on my computer game at the moment, I had been aware
that Rena had been gone most of the day, and it was now quite late,
nearing the time I would get myself into bed, in fact I was already
in my night clothes. I wasn’t especially worried about her, but of
course there would always be that underlying layer of concern when
she was gone too long without letting me know before hand.

“So…”
It hadn’t been that long since Rayne came for her visit, Rena
seemed back to normal and I still had some questions. “Rena… can
I ask you a couple things?”
Rena
didn’t even look confused, she was a smart girl so I’m sure she
had some idea about what I was going to ask. “Something about Rayne

“Hmm…”
I was watching Rena poke though the cabinets for something to eat,
but something just seemed off about her. I couldn’t put my finger
on it, something in the way she was moving… or… something…
I
get a little closer and look her over. She notices me observing her
and stops what she was doing to look back at me. She appears a little

“Ungh…”
A particularly powerful blast of thunder wakes me from my sleep in
the middle of the night. “Great… now I won’t be able to get
back to sleep… might as well check on Rena…” I mumble nearly
incoherently to myself, remembering how she behaved last time there
was a storm like this.

Rena
arrived back home in her usual stealthy fashion, she was so good at
coming and going I didn’t always know if she was here or not. I was
busy playing one of my games when she suddenly asked me a question.
“Brian, is there something going on that I need to know about?”
I
frown a bit in confusion before pausing my game and spinning around
in my chair to look at her. “What do y

“Umm…
Rena? How exactly did you talk me into doing this again?”
She
murrs contentedly, laying on her back on the couch with me sitting
next to her. She’s got her feet in my lap, wiggling her toes a
little bit. “You mentioned you liked the feeling of a dog’s
padded paws, and I have padded feet much bigger than any dog in this
world, so…” She coos lifting up

to move, pushing my little red plastic car with one pink peg and one
blue peg in it along the board. “And five… and my house just

Rena
was sitting on the floor across from me, the game board on the ground
between the both of us. “Good thing you got that insurance then.”

It
was just one of those rainy days. Rena and I were in the same room,
neither of us really doing anything. I was on a handheld gaming
system and she was just lying on the couch relaxing.
It
wasn’t that late in the day, not that one would be able to guess
that given how dark it was outside. The rain so far had been very
consistent, if it ever let up it would only be for short moments at a
time.

Sick

It’s
late in the evening, and I was feeling like utter crap… I’d woken
up today feeling sick, and as the day progressed it was just getting
worse. My throat hurt and my head felt like it was in a constant
daze. I don’t think Rena really noticed though, and I had tried my
best to not show it, but eventually it just got too bad for me to
hide any longer.
It
was a coughing fit that finally made Rena

Chance Encounter

I glance down at my watch as I walk along the nearly deserted sidewalk, groaning at it, wishing the stupid thing was broken and it wasn't this late already. But the position of the setting sun seemed to confirm it. With a heavy sigh I trudge back towards my home, wanting nothing more than to just get back and pass out for a while.


I pick at my black t-shirt a little, feeling it start to stick to me a bit thanks to this humidity, my bei

Expectations versus Reality


Disclaimer: all rights Reserved


A couple weeks have passed since Rena moved into my home and things were going surprisingly well. As long as I answered everything she wanted to know about, proving myself useful, she's actually been pretty reasonable. Aside from the occasional forced foot massage, back rub, and providing her with all the food she wanted, I really didn't have any complaints about having her around… it's actually been quite nice.

I looked over at the clock. I hadn't seen Rena in quite a while and I was starting to get worried. She was out and about again, which wasn't unusual or a call for worry normally, but lately she seemed to be returning more and more battle-worn, as if she was seeking out more numerous or more dangerous fights… or maybe even both.


I get up to my feet and start pacing around the house, I wanted Rena to come back so badly&hellip
