Chapter 1: Prelude to chaos

"Hunh...This is wierd as hell. I don't remember seeing this here before."
"Hey~! Get away from there kid!"
A young woman, probably aged in her mid twenties, hopped directly over a chainlink fence edged up along the side of a road on the outside of a relatively dense forest. The place was a common hideout spot for teenagers to makeout, smoke out, or even get drunk. She quickly rushed up towards a young man surrounded by a pile of equipment, completely alien to something a normal person might own.

The kid turned around, just about ready to b***h right back at the woman, until her figure was discernable. She was somewhat taller than the average woman, her hair was a crimson red that flowed flawlessly down her back very much like a waterfall, and her eyes blazing a fiercesome yellow that seemed to cut off his breath; His heart, skipping a beat for that one moment. Of course, his stare didn't linger on her face for very long, as he felt the sudden need to turn lest her eyes scar his mind.

"My name's not 'kid', y'know. It's Vahn~" his sentence seemed to fall short as his gaze lowered and re-focused on her breasts. She was wearing a v-cut tank-top and a torn half jacket, revealing quite a lot. Enough so to cause Vahn to be distracted to the point where she would notice.

"...Yes, they're D's, in case you were so kind enough to be oggling." She said, after the quick catch of the stare. His name didn't seem to be a major concern to her at the moment.

"If you want to live to see puberty, brat, then you'll get the hell away from here right now." With that, she took a menacing step towards him.

"Woah now, hun, I'm 17 thank-you-very-much, and I don't even know the name of such a pretty face as yours." Vahn smiled warmly after saying this, and took a step to the side and closer towards the fence. `I've got a BAD feeling about her` he thought.

"Are you trying to flirt with me? Hah!" The woman spat to the side and eased her mouth into a vicious smile with about as much intent as Jack the Ripper himself. "Don't ever call me 'hun'...cause I'm not afraid of beating your a** down here and now..." She took another step towards him and gave a glare to match the smile. Vahn took another step to the side and stumbled over a corner of the pile of machines, alarming her to the point of distraction. He made good to avoid her as she rushed up to check on the equipment, and sprinted off towards the fence and his bike. The woman seemed more interested in the falling pile, than pursuing him, so he at least had the advantage of a headstart at riding away before she noticed WHERE he went.

"Hehehe...Totally wish she wasn't so much of a hardass. I mean, I was just curious about the pile of crap in my favorite spot..." Vahn laughed as he rode as quickly as possible in the direction of his home; Partly from fear of getting caught by that crazy lady, and partly because he was late home from the store anyway.
His house wasn't too far away, maybe a mile of multiple winding turns; It was RURAL. This was both good and bad in his mind, as on one hand, it's a quick way to escape the strange person. While on the other hand, if she was able to follow him, he wouldn't have much of a place to hide. Luckily, it was the former in this case.

Vahn strode down the driveway and threw the bike right beside his 69' Camaro. He walked past it and sighed heavily.

"Hmm...Too bad you're out of gas, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry so much right now." He smiled, jumped past a deep puddle of water that had been the product of yesterday's rainstorm, and landed gracefully onto the steps of his porch.

"God damn it's lonely living here, but at least I get to be by myself from time to time... Meh, I need a girlfriend." Vahn unlocked the door and looked back at the sky peacefully, taking in the sight of a setting sun and dark clouds.

"Humm...Looks like rain again..." He wandered inside, took a brief look back towards the driveway again, and slammed the door shut.
