An Altermere's Tale
Prologue
by
Neko Hibiki
The altermere had just got done talking to the ugly old woman who
had given her life.
'What am I going to do?' she thought. 'If I stay here Will is going
to kill me. I... don't want to die.'
She looked around the park. It was full of life. The green plants,
the dirt, the water.
'Why should I have to die after I just discovered all of this?' she
thought. 'I just got to live and now she's going to kill me. It's not
fair!'
She collapsed to the ground crying.

Later
She got up, stopped crying, and wiped her eyes. 'She can't kill me
if she can't find me. If I can't be found. If I'm not here,' she
thought with determination on her face.
She walked to the edge of the park. She had a plan.
She ran out of the park, and into town, then finally to her
destination.
'Here it is,' she thought as she quickly ran up to a building.
'My... no, Will's house. I'll just go to her room and get that secret
stash of money.'
Rummaging around she got all she could. 'I feel guilty stealing all
of Will's and mom's... no, Will's mom's money. But I need it to get
out of here. And all this stuff I took as well, should sell for a
lot.'
She got out and ran to the bus station.

Some days later
A young, red-haired girl walked through the alley that was her
shortcut. 'Maybe I shouldn't have taken this shortcut,' she thought
with trepidation. 'This is a rough neighborhood. If only my money
hadn't run out I could have afforded better than this place now.'
Suddenly five tough looking men stepped out from behind an old,
large refrigerator crate.
She gasped and started to back up. 'I really, really, really
shouldn't have taken this shortcut,' she thought with worry. 'But I
needed a place to duck the cops. Why they chase after a pickpocket
like me when they could be after the rapists and murderers I'll never
know. You'd think they'd have better things to do than chase one
little teenage girl pickpocket. But nooo, they have to chase me. And
I run in here. Oh yeah, wise choice there. Not. I've got to get out
of here. If I'm lucky they'll just want my possessions, not that I
have many of those now. If I'm not so lucky they'll want to rape or
kill me.'
She quickly turned and tried to flee, but they lunged forward and
caught her.
"Let me go!" she screamed.
"Now why would we do that?" asked a big, muscled, giant of a man.
Will metally dubbed him "Giant".
He continued speaking.
"We haven't got what we want yet. Give us that, and we might let you
go."
"W...W...What do y...y...you w...w...want?" she asked in fear.
"We want something you have." Giant said.
"What is it?" she asked. 'If I'm lucky they just want money, or
something I have. I'll just give it to them and they'll let me go.
I'm not going to fight them over something as silly as money or some
possession,' she thought.
"We want to take a ride in your pussy." said Giant with a leer at
her form, he smiled, and laughed.
She whimpered in fright. And got wide-eyed too. 'Oh my god!' she
thought with horror. 'They want... THAT. Nooooo...'
"P...P...Please don't." she begged in a pleading tone. "I'm a
virgin. Please don't take that from me now."
Giant laughed. "You hear that boys." he said. "We got ourselves a
virgin here! I love breaking in virgins!"
The other toughs laughed and jeered.
"Nooo..." she pleaded. "Please. I'm just 14."
"That age is fine with us." said Giant. "In fact we've done ones -
much- younger than you. Way younger."
She got a disgusted look on her face and kicked one in the shin.
"Owww!" went the tough who dropped her while he hopped around in
pain from the expert kick.
She quickly scrambled away. She got up, and then snatched up a
nearby piece of pipe.
"Never!" she snarled. "You'll never get -that- from me while I'm
alive you filthy pedos! You'll have to kill me first!"
"Well, that's just really ok with us little girlie." Giant said. "I
don't mind a little necro. It doesn't bother me any."
"You sick bastards!" she yelled, her face scrunched up in a look of
revulsion and disgust.
"Hey look boys.' Giant jeered. "We got us one with spunk! I -love-
ones like this! They put up a fight more than passive girls! I love
breaking them in when they fight and are sooo unwilling!"
She trembled with rage, loathing, and fury.
Just as they were about to try and catch her again, a voice yelled
out from the mouth of the alley.
"Hey!" it yelled. "What are you doing to that girl?! You better
clear out of here now. If you know what's good for you."
Giant looked back and snarled "Who are you?!"
The man looked at him and said "Name's Jeff Bogard, now let her go!"
