Forgotten Horrors

[xXRassBerriXx]

??Introduction??

​

You live within a small town, hidden away by pine forests and large mountains and placed in the pit of a valley. It's not the smallest city in the world, though it clearly is suburban seeing as you have a population of around 2,000. This is a small, tightly knit community where nearly everyone knows everyone and gossip isn't a rare thing for what else is there to do in such a small place? Occasional festivals and events are held here though this is a rare occasion, the annual celebrations are small in numbers and holidays seem to pass by quickly. It can be seen as a boring place or peaceful place depending on whom is viewing in. The current month is December and much of the town is excited for the upcoming holidays. The air is chilly as snow drapes nearly everything in an ever-growing blanket that reaches nearly two feet in depth whenever an area is lacking plowing. Christmas lights decorate the houses and ornaments can be found nearly everywhere. Even local artists have chosen to display small ice sculptures in town square to further express the holiday spirit, yet still this place can be rather noisy around this time of year and by now you do need a small break. You need a place to relax for a bit and avoid all this fuss, and as such you chose to take a small walk into the forest. Treading through the winter snow and traveling off path as few nature trails have been maid in this area, you walk deep into the winter forest and stray further from your home in hopes to find an isolated area. After a while, you chose to take a small break and sat yourself upon a rather large log, one that appeared to be mostly hollow within it. Yet, as you sat you took notice to a few noises sounding within the log; something that sounded like a few sleepy murmurs. Peeking into the interior of the log curiously, you landed eyes upon a slightly shadowed figure laying upon its sides, a pair of black and orange horns stretching from its head as a pointed tail peeked out from the other side of the log. It seemed to hold the figure of a male, though with messy black hair blocking your sights it was hard to tell. Its figure was clearly shaking a small bit, as expected for it was rather cold out that day. What will you do?

??Basic Plot??

​

It turns out that this sleeping figure is a demon, and soon you come to find that this is his first time within the human realm. He seems curious, even if he does attempt to hide such, and ignoring any protest this demon chooses to follow you back to your village. Yet soon, it is discovered that this demon holds a multitude of dangers in both him and the under realm, you soon find yourself learning more about him and pulled into his troubles.

Personality: Akaski has a rather flexible personality as it varies depending upon the person he is speaking with. Towards strangers, he can often be blunt and rude appearing to be completely uncaring at times. Though still sometimes a small hint of good intent can be displayed from this stubborn demon, though when one mentions such kindness he will deny it immediately. Around friends he can be protective and defensive, as he hates losing things and much more commonly he will chose to give of a hint of kindness of affections towards these few people who have managed to warm up to him.

[spacepanda]

Name: Anja Vela (first name pronounced like On’ya)


Age: 19


Gender: Female


Bio: Anja has lived nearly her entire life in the small town, so it’s really the only place she’s truly known. Having moved to the town with her mother when she was 6, she quickly became known as “the poor one,” in school due to her lack of clean clothes and general hygiene. Her mother, an alcoholic, tried the best for her daughter… so long as it didn’t get in the way of her own personal enjoyment.


Due to the lack of late-night city lifestyle, her mother quickly began traveling far out of town to get her kicks, leaving Anja alone for sometimes days on end. Unable to give up the drugs and alcohol, her mother quickly deteriorated, until Anja was finally put up for foster care at age 8.


With no one wanting the child of the town disgrace, Anja was never formally adopted, and instead lived from house to house until the age of 17 when she was able to live on her own.


She currently resides in an apartment, alone, at the far end of the town where rent is cheaper.


Occupation: Anja serves as a waitress in a Dessert Café in the main Town Plaza.


Personality: Although her life has been difficult, Anja never really blamed the town itself, and enjoys it’s peaceful atmosphere. She is always distrustful to people at first, having grown up living with her mother’s constant empty promises. She tries her hardest to be kind to others, but can get a bit snappy and irritated if she feels her opinions or feelings are being ignored.


Appearance:

Spoiler

Anja stands at 5’5” and has an olive skin tone from her father’s side. She has crystal blue eyes and ash brown hair. She tends to dress very girly, in attempt to make up for never being able to afford the clothes she wanted when she was younger.


Let me know if you're okay with my character :]

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

Accepted, very nice character! Would you like me to begin, or would you prefer to?

 

[spacepanda]

I can begin :] But, shall I begin from the start of the day, or when she's already at the log?

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

Either one is fine by me, as such you can pick whichever one you like best as I can work with both.

 

[spacepanda]

Chu! Anja sneezed, her shoulder-length hair swinging with the force of her sudden movement. I hope I’m not getting sick, she silently mused with a small sniffle. Boots already on, Anja grabbed a warm military-style winter jacket from the coat hanger. It was no doubt somewhere around freezing outside, as she could already feel the cold from a slight draft through her front door. Now properly ensembled, she opened the door and took a brave step outside.


Immediately her shoulders began to hunch and her body began to shiver. She began a little dance-like hop to warm herself up and locked her front door. Arms crossed, she began her way down the stairs, as she lived on the second floor, and glanced at the white sky above her. It was probably going to snow later, she concluded.


Anja sighed as she ventured to the woodlands behind town, the snow beneath her feet making a satisfying crunch. She was horribly tired, having worked the last 10 days straight at the Café. It was nearly time for holiday festivals to begin, and the shop was booming with business. But of course, being so close to days of celebration, one person had already left on vacation, while two others had quit. This had left Anja with barely any time to herself, and now that she finally had some time off she was going to make sure she enjoyed it.


Peace, that’s all she wanted today. To sit in the forest for a bit and marvel at the beauty of nature around her. She smiled as she neared the woodlands.


Finally reaching the forest, she took a deep breath. Pine trees, she thought to herself, inhaling their scent, her grin widening. Slowly she sauntered into the forest, unable to see the usual trails because of the snow. But she had never gotten lost before, and she wasn’t about to now.


Just fifteen minutes into her walk she had finally found the perfect place to rest. A bit away from the normal paths was a small clearing, just isolated enough to please her, and still close enough to the town not to make her feel completely detached. She found the remains of a dead tree and plopped herself on top with an audible thump.


“Ooh,” she exclaimed, blushing. She wasn’t quite sure if the noise had been due to her weight, or the deteriorating state of the log. It was a rather large log, but she had been eating mostly desserts the last couple of weeks. THUMP! She heard it again, louder now, and she quickly jumped off the log, her heart racing.


And then, another sound that confused her. A soft murmer. Anja shook her head. Perhaps the log was more deteriorated than she thought. It did look like it had been there a while. There must be some sort of creature inside…


Hoping for rabbits, she slowly made her way to the other side of the log and peered inside. It was… a boy? A boy in some sort of a… horned Halloween costume? She scrunched her nose in confusion; reaching out her hand she touched the boy’s head lightly.


“Hey…hey!” She exclaimed, attempting to arouse him from his slumber.


Of course that’s when she noticed the tail of the costume… noticed that it was… moving.


Hope you don't mind the length of my first post D:

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

Only hours before this, the slumbering demon had been wide awake as it seemed he had finally been able to bring himself into a secondary realm, the crimson colored key within his hand having been what abled him to do such. Though he held no memory of where he had first gotten this key, he was rather pleased to have such a tool now and silently he slipped the small object away into his pocket where he normally stored the precious item.


The climate he had entered was rather cold and truly he hadn't been prepared for such a low temperature seeing as his own coat was rather thing, and though he did wear long-sleeves underneath it they provided little aid. He felt a shiver run over his body as he quietly clipped the coat shut yet not all of his troubles were directed entirely on the winter environment.


Never before had he needed to use so much of his strength to transport himself to a new area as always he had used the key within his own realm. It seemed that jumping between lands required much more energy than he had expected especially sense he never had been to this area before. Normally the key wouldn't allow him to venture into an unknown area, though luckily he had managed to gather enough information from a small book he bought from a secret dealer.


He knew now that he would soon require rest and seeing as he didn't have any home in this land he knew he would have to make do with the cold forest. With a small sigh he assumed it would be best to receive some rest before further moving to far into this realm, just in case he got himself into trouble.


Walking through the cold terrain below him he slowly made his way through the forest, his arms crossed tightly to create whatever warmth he could. Soon he found himself entering a clearing, and spotting a hollow log he assumed it would hide him well until he managed to wake. It might even trap some warmth for him.


Once in front of the long, he crawled his way inside ducking down low to avoid snagging his horns in the rough bark yet he failed to notice that he had left his tail out in the open. Laying down, he easily found himself falling fast asleep and for a few hours this is how he remained. Until a few noises had caused him to stir and caused him to mutter a quiet noise.


A small tap upon his head was enough to cause his eyes to open in a tired haze, and still half asleep his glanced up through the log. He caught sight of someone unfamiliar, a girl posses a hornless form. His tail flicked behind him as he looked this girl over, and though not yet was he fully awake he still felt a small bit of tension enter him.


(No worries, I don't mind it :3)

 

[spacepanda]

Anja gaped. There really wasn’t much else her brain could think to do. She watched as what she thought previously was simply a harmless boy, slowly opened his eyes. They were… orangey. Her knees began to softy quake. Having grown into a young woman that she believed was strong, she was shocked at the fact that she was suddenly feeling quite faint.


Her own blue eyes moved in a triangle formation- from his horns, to his eyes, to his tail, then back to his horns again. “W…what the hell,” she whimpered softly. She took a quick step back, bumping into one of the pine trees behind her. It shook slightly with the impact, yet she barely noticed the small clump of snow that immediately fell on her head.


Shaking her head, she quickly covered her eyes with her hand, rubbing them furiously. This is what lack of rest does, she concluded, I am now officially going crazy. Slowly peeking through her fingers, she stared at him, silently wishing the hallucination away. When he didn’t seem to go anywhere after a moment, she tried the next best thing.


“H-..hi?” She squeaked, in a high pitched voice she barely recognized as her own.

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

He viewed her reaction with a bit of confusion, she actually seemed to be a bit scared. He didn't truly understand why, he knew his kind had made it into other realms before so wouldn't they already be used to them? Maybe it was just the cold that caused her to quake, yet the distance she had created between the two said otherwise.


He found himself growing more aware, and despite still feeling tired he was able to allow a clear though process now hearing her high-pitched greeting which brought a small sting to his ears. He did hope that this wasn't her true voice as being what he was his ears could be rather sensitive.


Seeing as he was currently upon his side he managed to turn himself onto his stomach within the log before he once again crawled out of it seeming to be examining her as she looked over him. She didn't have any horns, nor a tail yet she was a humanoid like him, he thought her out to be what was called a human. He had read about them before, though he never had seen one until now.


"Calm down" he said, keeping his questions to himself. "I won't bite, you don't seem to be any sort of threat..."


His tail flicked behind him once more, his orange eyes seemed to be locked upon her.

 

[spacepanda]

“Calm down?!” She repeated, her voice raised almost to a yell. To be honest, she truly had no idea what was going on, but she wasn’t about to let someone have an advantage over her. Bite? Threat? What the hell was he even talking about?


She eyed him suspiciously just a moment longer before quickly rolling her eyes. “Oh I get it,” she laughed, waving her hand in a manner she hoped seemed nonchalant… because she most certainly did not get it.


“Let me guess, student film?” She pointed to the horns. She had to admit, they were very well done, although not as well done as the tail. Now that was an animatronic wonder to behold. “I’m actually a bit impressed,” she continued, walking a bit closer, “how do you get it to move so… realistically?”


Reaching her hands out once more she attempted to grab it.

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

As her hand neared his tail, he immediately flicked it away, looking to her a bit coldly. "It's rude to touch a demon's tail" he stated, allowing his tail to shift over to his other side just a bit out of her reach.


"It moves realistically because it is real, I'm not some film monster" He was a little unsure over what a film was, though he had heard some speak of such things. Normally illusionists could produce acts as plays and shows, though if this realm had illusionists she probably wouldn't have reacted like this.


"I assume you believe my features are fake, though I promise you they aren't" he seemed to bow him self a bit, placing his horns in a place of easy reach.


"My tail may be off limits, though my horns are different. Try to pull them off, I guarantee you'll fail" He peered up to her, confidence within his eyes. He didn't truly know why he was confessing to what he was so easily, he assumed it was because he held nothing to hide. He was what he was, why would he want someone to believe otherwise?

 

[spacepanda]

Anja stared at him for a moment, an expression of concern washing over her face. My gods, she thought, this man is insane.


“A demon, right, of course,” she nodded, crinkling her brow. “You must have had quite the, uh, arduous trek.” Smiling weakly she placed her hands on the black and orange horns, noting their rough edges. She’d been around crazy people before, and she was confident about her ability to handle such situations. Smile, nod, agree, and then find a swift exit. This was her plan.


She gave the horns a little tug, just enough so she could say she did, but hopefully not strong enough to blow his cover. They didn’t budge. Snatching her hands away for a moment, she gazed into his eyes curiously. She was, admittedly, a bit entranced by the situation. Why would someone go through the trouble of creating such an outfit, and then hide into the forest?


She tried again, harder this time. Nothing. Eyes quickly widening she stepped back once more, a look of awe on her face. What the hell is even happening?


“Well, um I,” at a loss of words, she began patting the snow out of her hair and off of her jacket. “It was a pleasure to meet you, uh, Mr. Demon.” She gave a quick curtsy. “I’m afraid I must go now, I …uh, have a dinner-date with… a fairy,” she finished lamely. At this point, she wasn’t quite sure which of them was the crazy one, but she was pretty sure one of them must be.

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

He straightened himself, looking to her and after a short moment of though, he spoke.


"I think your lying" he spoke bluntly. "If fairies did reside in this realm, I'm sure your reaction towards my own oddities wouldn't have been as exaggerated. I'm pretty sure your human, though don't blame me if I'm wrong... this is my first time meeting one. I already told you to calm down, I don't plan on doing anything grotesque. Though lying is a rather mean thing to do..."


By this time, he was trying more so to use her to his own advantage seeing as her current state would probably allow him the upper hand for he was acting calmly. "You know, I don't truly like it when people lie... most liars turn out to be vile people. Yet, I do know of a way you can make up for it. Why not get me out of this cold for a while? My blood is pretty thin and I would hate to freeze on my first day here..."


He allowed a small grin to cross him, his tail still flicking behind him and luckily it seemed the tug on his horns had convinced her a bit of what he truly was. If she feared demons, it would make playing her rather easy for him and though he did feel a little bad for toying with a person's fears... he attempted to hide it from even himself.

 

[spacepanda]

“I’m not a liar!” She quickly sneered, and then almost immediately blushed in embarrassment. She had lied after all. Make up for it? As if! But scrutinizing him once more, she sighed. The weather was horribly cold, and he didn’t really seem rightly dressed to the occasion. Now that she was properly taking him in, she noted he wasn’t really all that bad looking. A lot better than she thought a demon should look like anyway.


She snorted at the thought, Yep, I’ve officially gone crazy. “Well,” she spoke softly, after a moment’s consideration, “I suppose you could come with me…” Anja trailed off, not really knowing why she was agreeing to this sort of scheme in the first place. She quickly patted her jacket pocket, and was pleased to feel the familiar bump of the pepper spray canister she kept with her.


“Right,” she began with renewed confidence, “Follow me then.” She turned and began her way through the forest once more.


I’ll get him home, warm him up, and then if he’s still around by dinner, I’ll check him into the hospital, she formulated. Or myself…

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

Rather pleased with having gotten his way, he began to follow after her into the snowy forest. He did wonder where they were going, and he knew little about what a human's home could possibly look like so he was rather excited about finding all this new information, though he hid it as well as he could. Once again he crossed his arms, though not as tightly as before in hopes to hide that the fact that the cold weather was getting to him. He wasn't used to this climate after-all, he had just been in ninety degree weather hours before.


He would often glance to the girl walking ahead of him, taking her appearance and even the way she would walk. He was studying her in a sense as he was one who liked to have a high intellect, though where such a desire came form was something he didn't know. It did bother him quiet a bit, his lack of knowledge upon him self, but he liked to imagine that he would figure it out one day.


"My name, it's Akaski, just so you know" He gifted her with the information, seeing as he wouldn't wish to be called 'Mr. Demon' all day.

 

[spacepanda]

Anja started at the sound of his voice. They were nearly out of the forest now and for a while the only sounds had been the crisp crunch of their footsteps in the snow. She had sort of hoped he would lose interest at one point and wander off, but he seemed to be following her steadily.


“Akaski?” She repeated, feeling a bit like a parrot. “My name’s Anja,” she spoke without looking back or breaking stride.


Crap! I probably shouldn’t have even give him my real name, she momentarily panicked. The last thing she needed was a stalker, and it was bad enough he was going to know where she lived soon… a fact that was still a bit confusing to her. She shook her head in attempts to clear it with no such luck.


They had finally reached the outskirts of the town. “Almost there,” she updated him upon their entrance into the village. Hoping to ease her nerves, she decided to engage in some small talk. “So, where are you from exactly anyway?”

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

He was quick to place her name within his memory, hoping not to forget it later on as he would rather not ask for it a second time. He was still struggling to hide the fact that he had grown rather cold, and though his figure was shivering slightly it seemed the she luckily held no interests in further examining him.


As she asked about him home, he was forced to think a moment. He didn't know if these people even knew the true name of his home. In a sense he could just call it the demonic realm, but he didn't believe that she would know what that place was.


"Erm... it has a few names. It's basically in a realm different from this one, and it did take me quiet a bit of energy to get here. My home is inhabited by my kind, though it is divided up into many different sub-species... it's warmer than here, and it's terrain is normally flatter..."


He seemed to be thinking over this, attempting to find a good way to explain it.

 

[spacepanda]

Anja chuckled nervously, he wasn’t being serious… was he? What if he was telling the truth and he actually was some sort of dimension-traveling supernatural being.


She sighed for what felt like the billionth time that morning, and began to walk up the steps to her apartment, taking a moment to look at him once more. Surveying the surrounding area she made sure no one else was about. Ever since she was a child, people loved to gossip about her, and the last thing she needed was someone tormenting her about her new costumed friend. She was already “weird” enough on her own.


Taking out her keys she unlocked her front door and stepped in, a current of uncomfortably warm air causing her to quickly escape her coat. She looked back at Akaski. “This…is it,” she announced.


The apartment was a rather small one, certainly nothing to brag about. It consisted of 3 rooms. Her living room / kitchen, a small bedroom, and a single bathroom. She thanked herself mentally for having found the willpower to clean last night, although her bedroom was still a mess. At least the door to that was closed.

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

Stepping inside, Akaski was rather glad to have gotten out of the freezing air outside. Though this temperature was a bit below what he was used to, it was still much more comfortable then what he had felt outside. He left his coat on and peering around he chose to now explore the room from where he stood. It seemed rather small, though it wasn't something to complain about.


He looked back over to Anja. He knew it would be polite to complement the home, yet he wouldn't want to do such to an extent of generosity to avoid any misconceptions. He thought it to be best to constantly wear his facade, as to avoid any unneeded expectations.


'Its acceptable..." He said, his eyes averting for a moment as he delivered the near-complement.

 

[spacepanda]

Anja reeled. “What- what was that?” She asked frowning, clearly offended. “It’s acceptable is it?” She scoffed, “Well! I’m certainly overjoyed that someone of your high status would find my humble home acceptable.”


She fumed, here she was trying to be nice and get someone, who obviously needed mental assistance, out of the cold for a couple hours and he just waltzes it and deems it… “acceptable.”


She attempted to give him a stern glare, but found herself unable to hold eye contact with him for more than a moment. “Take off that ridiculous get-up.” She demanded, already sick of seeing his fake horns, not to mention that the constant sway of robotic tail was making her a bit dizzy.

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

She seemed a little angered over his statement, and in truth it stirred him up a bit as well though he did his best to hide it. He would't normally give anything near a compliment, so it was rather aggravating when one would come to expected something more from him than something he had already struggled to say. It wasn't that the home was bad, rather it was his stubborn pride that caused him to grade it as such.


"I can't. You already tried to take my horns of my head, they're not fakes" He gave her a bit of a glare, as he was coming to be annoyed by her questioning his being when in he had been being honest so far. It seemed she wanted more proof, and that he would deliver.


A threat would probably be enough to scare her into believing him, and hopefully using a bit of hid remained demonic strength could prove such as well. He glanced behind her a moment, and suddenly extending a hand towards her shadow he came to create a deep black blade that seemed to simply form within his hand, Anja's shadow becoming a tad dimmer. He brought the blade upwards, acting as if he where about to slash her only to bring it to a sudden stop at the nape of her neck.


"Don't doubt me" He said, sounding a bit annoyed, "I am what I am, I won't try to fit myself into your reality."

 

[spacepanda]

Anja blanched, “What are you?” She asked her voice wavering. Stumbling backwards her foot hit the edge of the kitchen table, and she threw her hands behind her to use it for support.


Staring up at Akaski, she was forced to come to terms with reality. He was, most definitely, what he said he was after all. She shook, her eyes quickly glancing a her coat. She mentally kicked herself for not having kept it on, for she didn’t have anything in reach she could even think of using to defend herself.


“What do you want?” She barely whispered. Either she had finally lost the last of her remaining marbles, or there was a demon in her house who had placed a rather threatening blade to her neck.


Crap, this is how I die, isn’t it? She thought pessimistically.

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

He grinned lightly, it seemed his small display had worked upon her and it was enough to bring some of the negativity out of his current mood. He didn't hold any plans on killing her, he didn't even have them the minute he created his weapon. His true intent was to frighten her, and to prove that he was what he was.


Akaski hated it when others would doubt him and once again it was something he couldn't explain and yet, he never had killed over it. He might seem threatening, though it is true that he has a hard time killing. He might have the strength to, but he doesn't have the mind to handle it.


His weapon faded from existence and the slightly dimmed shadow returned to what it had been moments before. Akaski reached downwards, once again acting slightly out of character and displaying a tiny hint of kindness. In truth he did feel a tad guilty about threatening her like this, but he would never confess this. His extended hand hovered in the air in front of her, and offering to help her up.


"I hate it when people doubt me... Just, respect what I am, you don't need to like me... you can hate me if you want... it jus-" He cut himself off, he hadn't meant to talk like that, and once again his eyes avoided her's in hopes that she hadn't noticed the slightly saddened tone that had been within his voice.

 

[spacepanda]

Anja reached out, quickly accepting his hand. The last thing she wanted to do right now was offend a powerful demon in her home. Now standing, she stared at him again with new-found wonder. What was he even doing here, she wondered. She couldn’t help but to notice the saddened tinge to his voice just a moment earlier, perhaps he had been banished from his realm or something.


Still shaking, she cleared her throat, attempting to regain some color. “Right. Well, now that we’re… settled.” She looked around nervously.


“Would you… like something to drink?” She asked quietly, trying to hide her humiliation. She had lived her whole life trying to prove that she was strong and independent, that she didn’t ever need anyone’s help. And now, here she was, mentally praying for someone to swoop in and loudly proclaim, “Oh! THERE you are, Akaski! I’m terribly sorry for misplacing my demon, thank you so much for taking care of him. We’ll be off now, here’s a million dollars, bye!”


She stifled a giggle at the outrageousness of it all.

 

[xXRassBerriXx]

Akaski did hate to admit it, but already he was feeling tired once again. He never had been aware that moving himself between realms would cost him so much of his energy, he had always thought it out to be something easy like it was to move himself about his own realm. It seemed that creating a solid weapon wasn't the best idea as he would need to rest again soon, he just hoped he could last until he was out of Anja's sights. He didn't yet trust himself to sleep around her, as he knew such a state would leave him vulnerable and now that she knew what he was, she might try to get rid of him as he was weak.


"Sure..." he said, thinking it may help add a bit more to his remaining strengths.


He knew he wouldn't be tampering with his abilities again that day, and hopefully she wouldn't request such from him. He knew she might be curious about him and what he was capable off, but he didn't wish to show any weakness around her. Rejecting a request might bring up suspicions over his current power, and he didn't wish for that to happen.


Yet even with all of this, he despised the thought of sleeping out in the cold again. Maybe he could find a heater or something in an alley way where he could be out of sight.
