Construct: Reverse Eclipse

Chapter 1

"Yukka you really don't have too I can walk on my own-" I start to protest.

"No, I can't have you go an disappoint this fine old gentleman!" Yukka responds, faking generosity.

"Okay you 2 be safe now, i'll take Zero home." the old man turns as walks out with Zero. Yukka and I turn off the lights and leave my only safe refuge on the moon, the school grounds, locking the door behind us.

*********

"Hey Karl?" Yukka asks after a long period of silence, "Are you okay? I notice you like to put on a mask and hide behind a fake smile."

"You really have known me for awhile," a soft breeze flows through the tunnel, "Im fine, don't worry. And even if i wasn't i can sort my own problems out without getting you involved in the whole mess," Wait....Breeze?

"Hey do you feel that?" Yukka asks me.

"Yeah...the moon's fans aren't on right now..."I respond, "Should we go check it out?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay let's go!" We run over to the source of the wind. As we get closer it becomes colder and moves for quickly. Eventually it becomes a frigid wind. It blows Yukka's silver hair around. We come up to a door that has been left open. Theres' a level 7 door lock on it. I walk up to it an nudge it open enough for Yukka and I to step through it.

"Woah...." Yukka stares wide eyed at our discovery. She isn't the only one with her breath taken away, I look up at the 3 to 4 story tall mass of flesh.

"Omega...." I utter.

"We should leave!" She suggests.

"I'm not a stupid horror movie character...i agree let's go!" I say, trying to lighten the mood. We quickly move out of the room and close the door. The lock engages as we walk away. We enter the main hallway.

We walk quickly, keeping our pace, "What the hell did we just see?" I exclaim, still shocked by our discovery.

"I'm not sure....keep it a secret?" Yukka asks.

"Yeah, considering there was a level 7 lock....not even Instructor Creon has a level 7 access card," I glance backwards.

"We'll be outta here soon...just till then, keep it a secret!" She seems determined to get off the moon.

"I don't care what kind of hell earth is i'd rather be there....i can get away from my old man," I sigh, "I'll have my sister to...which reminds me, I should get home now, i'll see you tomorrow for the exam Yukka!" I wink at her as I run off in the direction of my house.

"Yeah," She yells to me as I run off.

**********

Walking up to my house I pull out my key, which is a small disk, and I stick it to my door which unlocks it. I creep in after I see my dad asleep on the couch. God damn...it reeks of booze in here...Dad must have had is old unit over.

"Karl?" I whisper reaches my ears from the back corner of the room.

"Vey?" I recognize the whimper immediately, "Where are you?"

"Over here..." She mutters. My sister's silver hair glows in the fake moonlight. I rush over to her.

"Oh my god...." I murmur shocked. Dad is abusive...but it's never been this bad. She has scratches down her arms and bruises on her face, "That bastard!! Come here Vey," I whisper. She runs quietly over to me. Even the earth is safer than this house for her. My sister, Vey, got into the Senior class for pilots at my school, despite being only 12. She's a super genius that has higher scores than even myself and im ranked 5th in the school.
