Sweet Nothingness

A/N: Yay! My first original story! xD Well...Mostly up until now I've been spending all my time writing fanfictions (which I love) but lately I decided to attempt on of my own. This is loosely based on a dream I had a few nights ago, and I promise it will get more interesting as the story goes on.

The heavy rain beat down on the hood of our Neon, rolling down the windows in glistening streaks against the dull grey of the winter sky. Alexandria's head rested on my shoulder; my arm draped around her neck, playing with her long, blonde hair. My boyfriend looked back in the rearview mirror, catching my yees, and smiled at the two of us.

"Your little sister is so sweet," he said quietly, turning the radio down so as not to disturb Alexandria. I grinned back at him, and he winked at me before turning his attention back to the slick road. "How much farther now?" I asked absently, leaning my cheek against my sister's strawberry-scented hair, my own red-black hair mingling with her blonde.

Just as Malachi opened his mouth to answer, a car swerved in front of us, causing him to slam on the breaks, skidding our car in a complete circle. "Dammit," he swore as he carefully pulled back around and getting back on the road. "Goddamn idiot." he repeated, chewing at his alredy-chapped bottom lip.

I nervously glanced out the back window at the cars behind us when Alexandria sleepily stirred, lifting her head up and looking at me through her violet contacts which she had insisted on wearing. Her kohl-rimmed eyes narrowed sleepily as she yawned, then sat straight up, shaking my arm off her.

"Wha' happened?" she slurred, looking around. "We almost got hit by a fucking retarded driver, that's what happened," Malachi replied, glowering out the front winshield, and I frowned at him. "Don't cuss like that with Alex in here." I told him, patting my little sister's shoulder, and she smacked my hand away.

"Cut it out, Cass," she snapped in an annoyed voice. "I am not a little kid. I'm fifteen years old. God, you act like I've never head anyone say fuck before." she remarked, and I rolled my eyes and playfully shoved her. "Well, still. Don't you say it."

She mimicked my earlier move, shoving me back, and rolled her purple eyes. "Whatever." she mumbled, pulling out her iPOD and putting in the earbuds. I looked up at my gorgeous boyfriend, into emerald green eyes that reflected in the mirror, smiling back at me.

A shock of almost-white hair fell across his left eye, the dyed-black tips swaying back and forth with the soothing motion of the car weaving in and out of traffic. "So..." he started, interrupting my musings. I reached into my Naruto bag and pulled out my sketchpad and some charcoal, preparing to sketch Malachi. "Yes?" I asked, already outlining the mirror and the reflection of his eyes on the paper.

"Your question from earlier...how much longer?" he reminded me, "We should be there in 45 minutes to an hour. Depending on traffic." he amended, switching on the radio now that Alex was awake, putting in his favorite CD, and SoulJa came on.

And no, not the rapper. The gorgeous but little-known Japanese singer.

"Rain?" I asked, naming his favorite song, and Malachi nodded. A soft mewling sound came from beneath my feet, and I reached down to the floorboard and picked up my sleepy kitten, Chiyo. She padded over my sketchpad, the drawing nearly halfway finished, and I pulled it out from under her tiny feet so she wouldn't smudge the charcoal.

"Hey, my precious little baby," I murmured, burying my face in her soft black fur, and she purred and mewed in delight.

Her golden eyes stared up into my own chocolate ones, and I could swear that she seemed to be smiling, turning her adorable kitten face into a sinister mask, and her eyes glittered like a snake's. Everything started to spin until the only thing that was in focus was her sharp, glistening teeth, twisted evilly in a grin.

Then, suddenly, everything went black, SoulJa's soothing voice being the only thing that penetrated the heavy darkness as it echoed around my head.

Please review and let me know what you think! I know this one was kinda short, but the next chapters will be longer. ^^ Thanks!
