Humans vs Ghouls

For the last few weeks, we were working on narrative stories. My topic was about Humans vs Ghouls. I wrote about a person named Kaneki which was the main character, I took inspiration from an anime called "Tokyo Ghoul." Anyways Kaneki was just a normal citizen, but that all changed. I won't tell any more spoilers but I hope you enjoy the story. I might also make a second season of the story, but I'm not that sure about it.

Humans vs Ghouls

Chapter One: The Dare...

A bell rang as we entered the shop, It smelt astonishing with the essence of coffee. “Hey let’s go sit in that table!” Said Hide in an excited voice, we sat down and discussed things. He started talking about pretty boring stuff, like some opportunities at school. Suddenly he invited me to play a game. I got curious about what game we were going to play. How about we play “truth or dare..?” We played a couple rounds of paper, scissors, and rock to see who will lose. He was undefeated, I have always won when we play this game, it was odd. Hide moved closer to me and whispered to my ears… “I dare you to, follow a random person who leaves the cafe..” I was puzzled on why he wanted me to follow a random person, but it seemed like he had a plan…

Someone named Touka came up to us and gave us our order, I took a sip of the coffee. When suddenly someone was about to leave the cafe, “Hurry, Kaneki!”. I swiftly stood up to my chair and followed the person and noticed she was a woman. She left the shop, liquid from the sky started to fall to the ground. It started to rain, I was lucky that I had my umbrella. I kept following her she was heading to a pitch-black space.  It was near the construction site, I felt a bit nervous. “I should’ve not listened to Hide and follow someone else...” But she kept walking and closer and closer to the construction site, unexpectedly she stopped…

“Who are you…?” She said in a deep voice, I got horrified on what might happen to me. I already knew I was in big trouble. She went up to me, I felt pain on my shoulders. I checked my eyes widened as blood was pouring out of my shoulders, “What are you doing?!”, I shouted. I felt a bit nausea. I saw her with tentacles-like on her back but with only four, swiftly she stabbed me in the chest “Die!!“ “No, please stop it…”, I cried. “I won’t be able to survive for any longer,” she said. That was all I remembered from that day…

Chapter Two:  A Monster...

I woke up, and my left eye was in pain. I stood up from a comfy bed, I walked around. I saw a mirror and I saw myself, my eye was black and had red cracks. “What happened..?” I remembered the unfortunate time when I almost could have died. “Am I dead?” I whispered to myself. As I walked someone was knocking on the door, I opened and an old person was holding two coffee. I let him in and we sat down, he looked familiar to me but I just couldn't remember. We talked and he explained why I was here, finally I remembered that he was the owner of the coffee shop. “You can stay here anytime you want to.”, he said. He left the room, I took a sip of the coffee. It tasted was wonderful, it was the best coffee I have ever tasted. My cup of coffee was finished, I went downstairs to see if I could get another cup. As I walked down there were other rooms, they had names of the people living inside. When I got down, the place was empty. No customers… I walked up to the owner, “Why is the place empty, It’s morning?”

“The shop hasn’t opened yet..” he smiled.  

He gave me another cup of coffee, I asked him how he makes his coffee so delightful. He showed me how he made coffee, it looked complicated. “How about you try to make one for yourself?”. I began making me one, every single time I get something wrong he guides me through it. Meanwhile, I finally got it. He tested the coffee, “It might be even better than mine!” He said. I felt proud, and I got hired to work as a barista…

I was walking home alone when suddenly I heard people screaming. I sneaked to the corner and took a peek, I saw a guy killing innocent citizens. I was frightened, I only took a glance who he was, he had yellowish hair and had glasses. Just then he killed the people and I shouted: “Who are you?!” He didn’t talk, just then I felt a strong sharp object go through my back. It was a feeling like before. He raised me up while I spat out blood. I felt my eyes turning and getting painful. His eyes, they were black with red cracks. It was the same eye I saw in the mirror.

I struggled my way out of the unknown weapon he’s using, I was infuriated my vision changed on my left eye. My back was rumbling with movement, something wasn’t right. I have turned to something horrible. A ghoul…

Chapter 3: The Solution...

A new day has begun and the start of our school was opened for another year before it gets rebuilt. I ran to school with an eyepatch on my left eye, I used it to cover my eye. Just when I entered I heard someone yelling my name. “KANEKI!!”. He went behind on my back and hugged me, “Where were you?” He asked. I lied to him by saying that I went back home because I felt sick. He asked me why I have an eyepatch on my left eye, “It just randomly got painful, I’m not sure why… I couldn't let my best friend know what I have turned into.

We walked into the office to ask if there are another opportunities for a play this year. Just when I was about to knock on the door, Hide suddenly busted his way in without knocking. “Hey, Manners!” He shouted he looked familiar to me. “Hi Mr Yomo, I am Hide and this is my friend Kaneki…” His eyes widened, “Nice to meet you Kaneki…” I moved closer to Hide and whispered: “How do you know him?” “Hey! There are still a few more hours before school starts, let’s go eat somewhere.” He suggested, “Let’s go Kaneki!” Before I could get away Hide grabbed my hand and followed the student council. He headed to a shop for food, then he kicked Hide right in the stomach and knocked him unconscious. “HIDE!!” I shouted I threw the food that he gave me and ran after Hide. Yomo walked slowly near me, “What have you done?” Just then a person came, it was the person who gave us our order. Touka...

A few hours later…

I was saved, and Hide was getting healed in the hospital, I was home feeling exhausted and starving. I rapidly went to my fridge and grabbed something to eat, I saw a cake so I grabbed a slice. I took a bite, but I swiftly spit it out. It tasted like ash for some reason. I took another bite, it tasted like ash once again I tried to consume it but I couldn't handle the taste. I felt like I was not human, I grabbed a burger from the fridge and ate a piece. I couldn’t understand it… Everything I ate tasted like ash, I got more frightened, more frightening than a demon stealing your soul. However, I felt like that I was the demon, a monster. The coffee shop, I need to go to the coffee shop. It was the only source of food I can only drink since when the incident happened. I hurried to the coffee shop, craving for food and help. When I got to the coffee shop and I quickly asked the owner why everything I ate tasted like ash.

The look on his face, it looked like he knew something. “Stay here…”, he came back holding a something that smelt like I can eat. He took out the wrapping, and it looked like food. He gave it to me and I took a bite. For some reason, it tasted pretty good. The owner of the shop took a glance of me. He knew something, I wasn’t sure what he was thinking about… “Come back here tomorrow, I must explain something…”

End Of Season...
