1 Chapter 1 Big Sister? (1/2)
I woke up and had that feeling we all have, where we realized we just didn't want to get out of bed. School has started for two weeks now and while I just want to relax and enjoy another year of life, everyone else is trying to study hard right from the start. Isn't your senior year of highschool supposed to be filled with sports and girls, why are there so many books and college applications then.
Sighing I sit up in bed and look across the room at my new roommate a small snake my brother got me as a moving in present. She's just a baby only about nine months old. Her species is Albino Burmese python and right now her length is only about eleven inches but apparently she can grow to about eighteen feet. I don't even know how my older brother got her but I'm glad he did and wound up naming her Frost, because of how her scales look like snowflakes. I know makes me sound a little girly but she really is amazing to look at with her clear blue eyes staring back at me.
Standing up I go over to my mirror and look at the same average looking face with short curly brown hair and brown eyes, I'm not ugly but i'm far from being chased by the girls. My body is in decent shape but with my usual look of jeans and a baggy shirt no one would realize it. I'm around 2 meters tall so I can say I'm a little taller than average.
Wondering why my room was still so dark I walk over and look out the window. Around six o'clock the sun should start showing about now but it was so dark. Double checking my clock on my bedside table I walk over and open my window to take a closer look. Shocked I thought I 4was still dreaming, blue mist everywhere. So thick it blocked the light from the early sunrise.
”The hell?”
A mist started to slowly descend covering everything in sight with a thick blue hue. I stared wide eyed thinking I was still asleep,, until finally it floated into my room like a rushing wave trying to surround everything, like a thick blanket. Freaking out I tried rushing out of my room when my sight went dark and I collapsed.
I don't know how long I was out, but when I opened my eyes to see a white ceiling compared to my dark blue one. I slowly looked around to see white walls and a white floor, they weren't made of wood, brick, or any type of metal. I walked over to a wall and knocked and heard no sound, the feeling was like I touched solid air, no feeling of resistance but at the same time I couldn't go past it.
”O you woke up. Hi nice to meet you, my name is Artemis but you can all me Arty or Big Sister.”
A voice that sounded out felt like a breeze in mid summer, I started to relax just at the sound of her voice and could feel myself calming down more. Looking around I hesitated no longer and called out my hello not seeing anyone in sight.
”Don't be scared because I need you to listen to me, we don't have much time.” I frowned but said no more, i just stood there waiting, feeling weird for talking with someone that wasn't there.
”Good now listen close, your world will be changed from this moment on and to survive you will need to follow my instructions carefully, so that you don't die to fast and I can get more rewards.”
Ignoring my ugly expression at her words she continued in an upbeat tone.
”A star a few systems next to yours exploded about seven years ago and the radiation from that explosion finally reached your planet, with no other variables it would have become a barren rock again. My race went into action though and covered the earth in a protective field that allowed your planet to survive, but things will be different. Firstly with the radiation that leaked through the cover almost all of your current tech is now mostly garbage, Secondly all organisms on your planet are about to enter a state of hyper evolution and most of them won't be friendly towards your race, thirdly with all that happening you also need to worry about the tasks im going to give you.”
The sound of giggles came from all around me, I broke my silence and asked.
”Tasks? Why do I need to listen to you at all?”
”Simple, my race spread nanites across your world, they are in everything, including you. Now that's a good thing because those little nanobots will help you evolve in the way you desire as long as I continue to be your sponsor. The most important reason though is that I am now your Big Sister and your gonna be a good little brother, right?” she asked sarcastically.
Trying to wrap my head around what she was saying and getting the feeling like insects were under my skin when she mentioned the nanobots. My head hurt, my skin itches like I was healing from a sunburn just thinking about tiny machines inside my body, finally she finished explaining it in a way that made no sense at all. Laying back on the floor I muttered one thing that confused me the most.
”Big Sister?”
”That's right. Well you know not by blood but it will be in the way where I watch over you as you grow stronger and get me more points and rewards, plus I always thought of myself as the beautiful big sister type.” More giggles came from what seemed like nowhere.
”What?”
