Apollion
Phase 1




The plane landed on Earth in the city of Enoch on a windy afternoon. Cindy got off of the plane, and entered the airport, where she retrieved her luggage. After getting her things, she went outside and caught a cab. The evening was growing darker as Cindy rode through the unpaved roads of Enoch. The town wasn’t as revolutionized as the towns on Mars, and the people were dressed very differently. There weren’t any malls, but there were plenty of market places. Cindy felt as if she were in a third world country. She paid her fare, and got out of the taxi once she found somewhere to stay, “At least they have hotel" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||hotels|AA1VDw">hotel" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||hotels|AA1VDw">hotels,” she thought. She got her room on the top floor of the sand and rock hotel. The walls were an orange color, and the there weren’t any windows, just some curtains to block out the hot sun. She got into her bed, and just lay there, thinking about her mother and father. The sun set by the time she got settled in her room, and she lit a candle to keep light in her dark room. She wanted to return home, but she felt as if she was not welcome there.

Back on Mars, a man with long white hair and crimson eyes stared at the rubble of the mansion that was once owned by Vicious 2. Nothing but ashes lay beneath his long overcoat. As he looked at the destruction, he went into a rage, and started screaming loudly while beating his fists into the ground. His yells soon became laughs, and his bloody fists healed quickly. The man’s body was in perfect health, except for his forehead, that had the name Vicious carved into it. He wanted revenge for what was done to him. He felt like he was trying to teach Vicious 2 a lesson and he just threw it back in his face, like he always does. The man, Malkav left the mansion’s rubble with Vicious 2’s demise on his mind.

Julius and the girls went back on tour, with their fourth album “Ariel’s wish”. The band’s sound grew louder with the help of Julius’s guitar playing skills. When they came to the stage, they were all dressed in the same thing. They were usually draped in the blue and grey pilgrimage uniforms, and Julius would wear his father’s suit. They were a big hit all over Mars.

The month was June, and the band was heading to their last show. Julius sat at the back of the bus near the bedroom, and practiced a few chords on his guitar. The girls were just enjoying the luxury of the bus, and having a great time. Selena found Julius in the back, and she sat next to him on the bed, with some pocky in her hand.
“Julius, you shouldn’t be worried about the performance, you have plaid every chord perfectly every night,” Selena said, as she dipped the chocolate stick into her yogurt.
“I’m just nervous,” Julius mumbled.
“Nervous? You acted as if this is your first time,” Selena said.
“Every night is like my first time. I never lose that feeling,” Julius replied, while strumming a few chords on his guitar.
“That’s what makes you a great performer,” Selena soothed, and poked his nose playfully. Julius blushed lightly, and continued playing the guitar, “You are so different from you father, I have never seen him smile like that before,” Selena said.
“He will probably never smile again. The woman he loved is gone from him, and he can never get her back,” Julius said.
“That is true, but he has always been troubled like that,” Selena said.
“My father is a fool, and it’s not his fault,” Julius stated.
“Why is that, Julius?” Selena asked.
“He keeps falling in love, knowing that the consequences are going to make him crazier than he already is. I am never falling in love, I could never bear the burden of my lover’s death,” Julius said.
“That doesn’t make your father a fool. All he really knows is love, besides killing. He can’t help it, he just gets very attached to the woman he is currently with,” Selena said, and got up. “Come on, lets go get something to eat before the show.


“Vicious, wake up,” A soft voice spoke into his ear. In his mind he saw a woman with light green eyes, and brown hair, but when he woke up, he saw a woman with crimson eyes, and long black hair that reached nearly down to her knees.
“You sleep too much,” Garnett said. Vicious 2 looked up at her, and got out of bed.
“There isn’t much for me to do,” Vicious 2 said, as he went to his closet, and grabbed some clothes to wear. He put on some black leather pants, and a black plaid shirt that he buttoned up, and didn’t tuck in, then he topped his suit off with a pair of jet black boots.
“Vicious, you should stop wearing all of that black,” Garnett suggested.
“It’s my favorite color, besides red, and I don’t really like to wear red,” His white hair covered his face, and he walked to the outside of his room, and into Garnett’s basement.
“I’m moving out. I can no longer accept your accommodations, you’ve done too much for me,” He begins working on one of her car" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">car" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">cars.
“But you must stay, you are more help to me, than any of my other husbands,” Garnett said.
“You can’t expect much from elderly people, give them a break,” Vicious 2 said.
“Oh, be quiet, Vicious. It’s out of the question, you are going to stay. You have much work to do, and that’s final,” Garnett said.
“What’s final is me getting my ass out of this basement, and into to some serious blood buffets,” Vicious 2 said.
“You dare disobey me!” Garnett said, sternly.
“I didn’t come out of your pussy, and I am not one of your little husbands. I obey no one. Goodbye, Garnett, I will repay for all you’ve done, somehow,” Vicious 2 said, and started towards the door.
“What about your things?” Garnett asked.
“I don’t need them, keep them for your next husband, he might like it,” Vicious 2 smirked, and grabbed his katana off of the shelf. “I’ll visit you, Garnett, you are one of the closest friends I have ever had,” Vicious 2 said.
“Goodbye, Vicious,” Garnett smiled, and bowed.

Cindy awoke in the middle of the night from a nightmare about Alex and her mother. She got up quickly, and wiped the tears before they could run down her pale face. She went to the bathroom, and washed her face with a damp cloth, and then she went back to the bed. She got in the cot and covered her self with her wool blanket. She closed her eyes, but she couldn’t go back to sleep, when she opened her eyes, a white gleam came across her face, and she saw a gathering of white light at the foot of her bed. She stared harder into it; it was the same aurora she’d seen at the airport. She pored closely to the image at hand, and she saw a golden halo come into view.
“Who are you? What do you want from me?” Cindy asked uneasily. The gleam of light quickly disappeared and left Cindy in the dark.

The next morning, Cindy quickly got up and dressed into one of Melanie’s comfortable sun dresses. She walked out of her room, and decided to tour the town of Enoch. The day blazed with hot sun, it felt as if you were on Mercury. Cindy bought a large cowboy hat to shield herself from the sun. Cindy continued through the town, getting shade whenever possible, then the she stumbled into this very young man on a horse.
“Hello, miss,” The young man greeted.
“Hello, who are you?” Cindy asked.
“My name is Ricardo,” The man replied, his brown eyes shot right through her, and she could feel it. He jumped off of the horse, and his short black hair lay straight to the back. “Do you need a ride?”
“No thanks,” Cindy replied, quite mesmerized by his eyes.
“You look tired, though,” Ricardo stated, and she was, she’d been walking all day. He held his slender arm out to her, which was wrapped in his long sleeved plaid white shirt. She grabbed his hand immediately, and followed him to his horse.
“Alex informed me of your arrival,” Ricardo said, while helping her on the horse.
“Is he here?” Cindy asked.
“He’s not coming, he wants you to return,” Ricardo replied. He jumped onto the horse, and started down the road.
“I will, very soon, I just needed to get away, you know?” Cindy said, softly.
“Yeah, I see,” Ricardo said.
“Are you a hunter, like Alex?” Cindy asked.
“Yes, I try my best to keep Enoch safe from vampires,” Ricardo answered. After two hours of riding, Ricardo let Cindy off back at her hotel.
“Go get your stuff, I will be out here waiting,” Ricardo said, still on the horse.
“Alright,” Cindy nodded, and ran into the hotel. She came back with her suitcase, and jumped back on the horse. “Where are you taking me, Ricardo?”
“I’m taking you to the other side of town, it’s much cooler, and a lot more similar to your home,” Ricardo said.
“Sounds nice,” Cindy said, and held onto his waists tightly.

The show started at Midnight, and Julius was making his way to the stage. He strapped his blue Hamer Sfx guitar over his shoulder, and pulled a pick out of his pocket.
“Let’s get started, kid,” Pimp said, and she patted his back, as she passed him. Sindalla followed, and blushed, with a little nervousness. Pimp tuned her purple and black Ibanez EX bass guitar, and Selena polished her Epiphone Hot rod that had katana designs all over it. Luminae got on stage with her black Synsonics Terminator wrapped around her thin waists. Steelgirl grabbed her sticks, and positioned herself at her Korg AX100G drum set. Wolfy started their first song with her a mellow melody from her custom made wolf paws Kenwood Keyboard. It went pitch black dark. When the dark blue lighting came back on, the whole band, except for Julius was on the stage. The crowd screamed as soon, the music began to play loudly. Pimp’s bass guitar stuck out the most in the music, as if they were created in Korn’s image, but as soon as Julius came down from the ceiling strapped to safety cords, his guitar took over. It was nearly impossible for his guitar to be so loud. The people on the front row covered their ears. The band was now complete, and they played their first single off of their new album. The single was called “whispers”. Sindalla stood at the head of the stage, and on cue she began singing loudly and fast, but sweetly as well.
“Mommy mommy, can’t you fucking hear me
Been screaming so loud
Its about to fucking kill me
Give me a chance
I say your name
You don’t even allow me a second glance
What must I do
To get through to you
It’s getting on my nerves
Stop ignoring my words
I’m tired of living in the dark
Trapped inside my own heart

[Chorus 2x]
I yell, I scream (Stop and just listen to me), Luminae came in after her.
I yell, I scream (Stop and just listen to me)
I could say a thousand words, and you wouldn’t even hear me

Daddy daddy, you’re no better
That’s fucked up
I’ll have to write you letters
But that wouldn’t help
You’d just ball em up
You only care about your fucking self
You’d also throw em away
Like you did my life
You and your wife
I sit in my room
Swallowed in darkness
You don’t understand
You’re so fucking heartless

[Chorus 3x]


I YELL, I SCREAM (why can’t you hear me)
I YELL, I SCREAM (why can’t you hear me)
I COULD SCREAM A THOUSAND, AND YOU STILL WOULDN’T HEAR ME!
