A post, finally.

This story is another joint project between Jennifer and me, but this one if somewhat different, in that Jennifer gave me the idea for the story, and I will be writing it. Jennifer will then be making this into a video, which I will post as well. I hope you like the story!


In Love Tonight


Prologue:
[Mom and girl are sitting on the couch in front of the TV/fireplace.]
Mirian: Mom, can you tell me a story?
Mom: Not right now, darling.
Mirian: Please?
Mom: [sighs] Alright. [pauses for a moment] Listen carefully.
Once upon a time there was a girl, about your age. This girl had magic powers, the power to kill demons. She was trained by a powerful magician, and then she left, to go out into the world, to kill demons. Every day she would go to school, or work, or just work around the house. Every night, after darkness fell, and before midnight, she would go out and kill demons. While she fought demons at night, during the day she saw a boy, about her age, and she fell in love with him, and him with her. One night, she was out fighting demons, when the one she was fighting shouted at her to stop. She stopped in surprise, because she recognized its voice. It transformed into the boy she loved, and he confessed that he was a demon. Neither of them knew what to do, because they were in love. The girl finally decided that she had to use her power for its purpose, and she fought the demon-boy she loved. She won the fight.
[Mom is sad, almost in tears. Girl is looking at mom with wondering look.]
Mom: Now go to bed, sweetie.
Mirian: Okay. Goodnight.
[Mirian goes to her room and goes to sleep.]
Later...
[Mom goes to check on girl. There is a demon in the room. Mom gasps. Girl wakes up, sits up straight in bed, shocked.]
Mom: Run.
[Mom throws a ball of purple fire at the demon, who dodges it and throws a ball of red fire at the Mom. It misses her barely.]
Mirian: But mom...
Mom: Run! Go away from here! Never come back. Save yourself, .
[Mirian runs out the door. Mom and demon continue to fight, red and purple fire. Mom takes a blast of red fire to the chest, and dies. The demon runs after the girl.]
[Mirian runs and runs. She streaks past everything in her way, and she runs straight into an open door. She doesn't stop running, instead she continues into the building. She runs and runs until she makes it into a small room. She shuts the door behind her. The room is dark, with only one window. She looks around briefly, and she doesn't notice anything dangerous. She collapses on the floor and falls asleep. Also in the room is a boy, around her age. She doesn't notice him, but he watches her intently for a while before slipping off into the night.]
