A Red December

[drlupinmario]

((This is my first story guyzez. Plz comment and things. This is only the first part, I think I will do more tommarow))

Cold.

If the Artic Wasteland of Blackstar could be summed up in only one, non-vulger four letter word, it would be Cold.

A little girl crawls through the froozen wasteland, clothed loosley in the skin of some obscure animal. What is she looking for? It is unlikly that even she knows, as only one feeling pulses up her body.

Cold

She looks up. The whiteness goes on forever. All she asked for was a wish. A simple wish. What that wish was, She forgets. How long has it been since then? Hours? Days? Months? Years? She has not been keeping track.

Eventually, she finds a hill and decides to rest. With any luck, The utter cold will envelope her body and freeze her quickly. It would be a better fate then slowly starving to death.....

To be continued....

((Dang CP, your fast. Real fast. Yes it is. I was going to put a link to the prequal later, but like... If I was giving out awards, you would win one for that. Yikes.)

Shivering, The small brunete girl curls up into a ball, Her soft, fleshy skin rubbing up agaisnt the ice. She closes her eyes, attempting to sleep.

Suddenly, She hears A large bear . She gets up to look around, and sees a urban-grey colord bear, staring at her directly in the eyes. Growling.

She tries to back away slowly, but the bear swipes at her with its paw causing a laceration. And in only a few moments, it would finish off with the kill. She closes her eyes...

All of a sudden, She hears a large bang. She opens them again to see a large hole in between the bears eyes, and a small sparkle in the distance. Overcome with sudden shock, as well as freezing, she faints...

Suddenly, She feels heat by her heels and a strange husky sniffing her. A song played on the radio.

Still lieing down, she looks around. She appears to be in a decently-large well-built hut. There are little bits of machinery left on the floor, as well as some large red flag hung on the wall.By her feat lies some machine emitting heat. And every few minutes, She hears a large familier bang from outside of the tent.

Eventually, She gets up. And immidetly after doing so, The dog barks and runs outside. She walks around and inspects the hut some more. Indeed, whoever built this hut had a lot of time on their hands. Walking over to the left wall, she notices a picture of some man with a very large mustache right next to a machine and a large amount of bottles containing some clear liquid. On the other side of the hut, She notices a sack of some strange red vegetable.

"So your finally awake, I see?" a man with a cybernetic eyepatch announces in a deep, russian accent, catching the little girl by surprise. "You were out there for a long time. It is, How you say, Lucky we found you in time."

The little girl backs away in fear somewhat. Where is she? Who is this man? She backs up to the corner somewhat, squaling in fear. The man looks towards his dog and says something in some language she does not understand. The man leaves the room and the dog runs over and passes her one of the vegetables. She looks oddly at it. It has been ages since she had something to eat. She slowly eats the red vegetable. It is quite tough, and a bit unapitizing at first, but it is better then starving. The dog stares at her, curiously. She reaches over and pets the mutt while picking up anouther one of the vegetables and eating it.

The man comes back into the room. "Turnips. I see that you like them? It takes some getting used to such a food" The little girl still sits in the corner, petting the dog. It tilts its head towards the man, making a small wimpering sound. "I see you have met my dog, Chitzkoi. Siberian Husky. I am Comrad Volkov." Volkov whistles Chizkoi to his side. "I ask you to get some rest. Being out in the cold in your wear is not healthy"

[Swix]

I'm impressed DLM, keep it up

[Coolpikaaa]

Playing the song and reading the post at the same time is awesome

The little girl continues to pet Chitzkoi quitetly in her corner, paying little to no attention to the man. "Right then, Little one. I will be off to scavenge the grounds for clothing. Do not stray outside the tent, for it is unsafe out there. I will be back in only a few short minutes, Da?"

Volkov waits patiently for an answer. "Vhat? Are you still too cold to speak, Little one?" he mentions before grabbing his rifle and heading outside the tent. He yells something in russian to Chitzkoi, who immidetly goes over and gaurds the entrance of the tent as Volkov heads outside....

[drlupinmario]

((Sorry to keep everyone waiting))

Volkov cocks his rifle and loads up regular "Dum-Dum" expanding bullets before scanning the area. He notices something in the distance and zooms in on it with his scope. Smigglenips. 5 of them. Volkov clenches his teeth.

The Arctic wasteland has a long confusing history. A history of many conquests, of many wars, and of many battles. Almost all of them end up with the said armys starving or freezing to death, often both. Theese so-called "Smigglenips" in their dark grey cloaks and hoods are one of the few if any who actually end up succeeding in the arctic wastelands. Volkov is not even sure if they know the orgins of themselfs. Scientific experiments gone wild? Primal beasts? Maybe they are just raiders who happend to somehow found a society of their own in this frozen paradise.

In the end, It does not matter. Volkov zooms in on the head of one of the creatures and squeezes the trigger. Boom! He fires and one of them falls face down in the snow, its purple-ish red blood oozing out of its hood. The four others surround their dead freind and investigate its body. This is too easy! Suddenly, One turns around and with its bright yellow eyes sees volkov. The three others charge up their plasma-rifles and fire a few shots at volkov. Crap. Volkov dials in for Chitzkoi on his cybernetic eyepatch...

[drlupinmario]

In the tent, Chitzkoi and the girl are idly sleeping. It has been roughly an hour since Volkov left. Chitzkoi suddenly wakes up when a message appears in his left eye. The dog bolts out, leaving the sleeping girl to herself.
---
It is only uncommen that the Smigglenips carry plasmarifles. Usually, they just carry spears made out of the bones of baby seals and walruses. Only the hunters carry basic rifles. Theese must be a newly trained elite unit. No other way about it.

A shot flies over Volkov's head. Cocking his rifle, Volkov fires a few shots at the creatures. Indeed theese are an elite group, as they seem to be wearing rudementry body armor. Volkov waits patiently for Chitzkoi to come to his aid...

[drlupinmario]

Volkov waits as Chitzkoi runs to his master, Occasionally getting up to spray a hail of bullets. Volkov only hopes that the girl is smart enough not to leave the tent or drink his vodka...
---
Slowly, She wakes up again. The first thing she notices is that the dog seems to have left her side.

She reaches up to a table and tastes some of the clear liquid. She vomits and passes out...

[drlupinmario]

And while passed out, She begins to dream.

She dreams she is king. King of all the land. And every being of the land is of her kind. A very strong and fearless race. A race of Aliens. A race of Xenomorphs.

Suddenly, Without reason, Her kind begin fighting amongst itself. And then, Scant moments latter, a man comes from the clouds and slams a staff into the ground. A white flash engulfs the area. All of her kind, And even herself, Are disintigrated in the blast.

The last thing she sees is a floating red gem before she gains awareness...
---
The Smigglenips grow closer onto volkov's small barrier of ice. It would only be a few moments before they manage to surrond him and take him hostage... Or possibly kill him. Suddenly, Chitzkoi gets the jump on one of them from behind out of nowhere. The others hear the screams of their dead comrad and turn around. Without wasting a seccond, Volkov snipes the heads of the other two hooded creatures before going to congratulate Chitzkoi. He smiles at their combined victory before noticing one running off in the distance, as well as the skinned body of a bear. It seems that this group was transporting the body, but for what purpose? And why the heavy weapons?

The duo take the bear fur and the equipment from the smigglenips as they head back towards their hut. Once inside, Volkov immidetly notices the girl is passed out from drinking some vodka, as evident by the small puddle of vomit. He looks at it angry at first, but then comes to relise that she may have never tried the drink of his proud country, as indeed, it is quite a strong drink.

The girl opens her eyes slowly. "Volkov...."

((This small chapter took a bit to plan out and write. Personally, I hope you all like it so far. More is to be revealed))

[drlupinmario]

The girl slowly gets up. Seeing that she is still in good health, Volkov smiles before tossing her a dull red trenchcoat and giving her a pile of clothing. "Put theese on, young one, and meet me outside. I am sure you have a few questions for me, and I have a story to tell you"

[drlupinmario]

The girl walks out of the hut, Wearing a dull red tenchcoat that is a bit large on her, A set of blue jeans and boots. Outside, Volkov is busy making a fur hat while Chitzkoi turns a bear on a spit. She sits down. "The meat will be ready in about a minute. Tell me, Do you have a name?" asks Volkov.
The girl ponders for a moment. "Yes. Well, Maybe. I thought I did... But that was a long time ago. And I am not even sure if it was a dream. It feels like a dream..." she replys curiously. Volkov looks at her with his cybernetic eye. "Rasputia. Your new name is Rasputia." He says as he finishes sewing on a red star on the fur hat and puts it on her head.

An hour later, The trio is eating cooked bear meat. Chitzkoi easily tears at his meat while Volkov eats his bear casually. Rasputia carefully picks at her bear meat, Unsure if she likes the taste or not.
