Stalker-chan prowls through the night, sneaking from bush to bush, knife in hand, her feral eyes scanning the dark lonesome until she latch onto her victim.
The poor boy was reaching into his pocket in front of a soda machine. He had black hair, a jacket with a carrot sticking out behind him. Oh Toru-kun is going to get some soda is he Stalker chan lick her lips as she twiddle her fingers.
A red can roll down when he insert another coin. There's a mole under one his eye when a green can roll down from the machine.
Why is he buying another can? Does he have a girlfriend? Oh why haven't i met this girl I wander. Perhaps I should pay her a visit after..."
The boy turn around holding the green can at her direction
"Oi, luna-chan here's your Skrite"
?!...
...
He open the red can with his fingers, drinking it as he held the can out for her.
How does he know where I hide?! No that is of little importance, you foolish boy. Don't you know that it is not Luna-chan who is stalking the night. No that girl has long parted this world. For it is I, Stalker-chan! who has come to prowl the night. And she has chosen you, you poor...
"Anyways I'll just leave your can here." He place it in front of bush she was hiding in. "Just meet me by the dungeon. Else I'm going to go in without you" Just as he walk away drinking his soda.
She waited when he was out of sight.
Then she reach for the soda and drank the can.
********************************************
Well here's the dungeon...Toru put away the map as he put his can down near the tunnel beneath several trees.
He finish his carrot, and took out his flashlight and shovel.
He crawl into the opening, splitting aside the earth that got in his way.
Several pillars held the ceilings with grinning statues as he raise his flashlight and proceed down the hall.
A shadowy figure follow behind him..
He walk for several minutes until he found himself in what look like a praying room from the altar on the far side. Smiling statues greet him as they stood in the corners holding the ceiling up.
He pass by the fading carpets, the light blue fires that flicker near the statues as he walk up the steps.
He took out his map again, a black dot pulsate against its sheet as he wipe the dust away form the black dais. unp
A strange language was etch on its epitet as he hover the paper above the stone.
The black dot disappear.
As words scrawl across the leathery surface.
"To those who are worthy, are those who slay the guardian of this place"
He turn around and behind him
?!
Was a stout figure, wrap in white tatter sheets, its cloth ending by its knees with greyish knee caps, a curve sword in its hand as it twist the blade.
And charge straight at him.
Toru dodge, pulling out his pick axe as he slice above him.
Sand pour on his glasses as the figure land on top of the altar, its hand hugging the altar like a cat about to play with his victitm. It took its stance and leap towards him.
Only for a cover get thrown across its face and Toru dodge.
The creature flail across the ground, he heard muffling coming out from the entangle creature as it struggle out of its new sac.
"Though its quite unfortunate to have revealed myself, I give you the rare opportunity to introduce myself. For what is my name-sake if I cannot even keep the target of my affe...I mean my prey alive...." The figure cough into her paws, her rabbit ears raise high in the ear, her light brown coat with baggy green pants goggles as she sniff. "For it is I, the one and only great stalker-chan. Who prowls the night seeking her one and only target who'll be her missing pi..."
The creature toss Luna chan's sheet and charge, its claw aiming at the two. Only to get pin to the ground as Luna jump, shoving her blade down against the creature's back pinning it the ground.
"Just as you have my permission to die for interrupting me...."
Toru walk to the corpse , taking out two rocks and a vial. He douse the corpse with the vial as he scrap the two rocks together.
The corpse was lit aflame.
A few moments pass.
The corpse twitch.
Then crank its body towards them.
Toru put an arm across Luna's chest as the two of them step back.
It crawl to them.
its hand reaching out to them.
Then it collapse.
And turn to ash.
***************************************************************
The altar pop open, dust leaking out as Toru push the lid aside with Luna until the it bounce on the ground. There was a tangle of linen wrap around a crystal as he reach inside. He wipe the dust away, turning to a Luna that vanish along with the blanket that was thrown aside by the creature.
He sigh putting the crystal in his pocket as he went to the ashen corpse.
He took out another vial as he gather the ashes, putting it in his pocket and made his way out back to the surface world.
All the while a shadow stalk him from behind as she tap her fingers, whispering underneath her sheet of her one and only prize.
