Cryptid Seer AU origins (plz read the basics before you read this)
The light shines through the door to the kitchen shows a silhouette of a screaming woman begging for her life. The shrill screams echo throughout the dark house. “Please I have a son spare me!” She says. “Good to know, well come for him next” the man says. Membrane watches as he freezes in place not knowing what to do. He almost thinks about jumping out to kill the man but it’s too late. A clean slice goes through the woman’s body. She drops to the floor with a massive wound. Blood pouring out to her clothes. Drying into a dark red just as quickly as it came. “Don’t try to save her, she’s beyond your help” the man says. He exits the house as membrane is left holding maybelline close to him. “Don’t go” he chokes on a sob. She smiles and says “Please, promise me you’ll protect dib. I want him to live on”. Membrane nods as maybelline slips into a deep forever rest. Membranes sobs are the only sound in the quiet house. Their hushed and quiet. He can’t afford to loose dib too. He lays the body gently on the floor as he walks to the room with a nightlight on. Membrane picks up the sleeping child and brings him to his lab. “I won’t loose you too. I won’t loose you too” he repeats over and over again. He takes a special laser and forces the sleeping child’s eyes open. Just as the child wakes, he is silenced by membrane putting a hand over his mouth. The laser is shown over his eyes making the child cry loudly. After two long painful minutes membrane removes the laser from the child’s eyes and hushes him to go back to sleep. The next morning membrane wishes he didn’t wake up. He feels empty and heartbroken. The body is still in the kitchen. Membrane takes the body and puts in the body to preserve. He gets dib and watches the news. The headlines say all seers have been executed. Membrane looks down at the child and hugs him.
Still devasted from what happened membrane goes to his lab. He looks dearly at the body of maybelline and plucks a hair from it. 2 days later a child comes out of the lab. Sleep deprived membrane and a crying purple haired child come out into the light from windows. He stares at the child “Gazlene, that will be your name”
DIBS POV (THE NOW) AND A MIX OF THIRD PERSON POV
I slip on my boots as I straighten my uniform. “Gaz! Are you ready yet?”
She peaks out from the door to her room
“Sadly yea”
We get out from the door as the beep from her gameslave 2 dominate the sound of our footsteps. We arrive at school, Membrane Private High. One of the best places to have your rich smart kid get even smarter. I walk in as I am greeted by many of the girls and guys all around. I’m kinda popular around here. I mean, I am the son of professor membrane. They sit down in class as the kind brunette teacher greats them. The bell rings and and she starts “Today we will countinue our studies of......”
TIME SKIP
I walk out as a bunch of cheerleaders try to drag back in to chat some more. Gaz is waiting for me by the stairs. “Dads not gonna be home for the special dinner again tonight” she says. I roll my eyes. Of course he isn’t. I’m gonna inherit dads title and business , you would think he would at least be there for me. I pursue real science and I’m one of the top students at school. Why can’t he just come home and work in his own at the house. We arrive home and night fall comes as I finsh my homework. I check my phone to see if there’s any texts from dad. I scroll through my endless notifications from cheerleaders and popular girls who want me to come over tonight. I finally find dads text “I’m sorry son, but there was a sudden change for the new due date of the latest project. I checked your grades. Your gonna make a great scientist son.”
I smile and yet I feel sour that he’s busy all the time. I look around the house bored only to catch me staring at an old picture of my mother. She’s with my dad and me as a baby. I rember that when I was 6 and gaz was 5, it was the first time dad left for work. “Dib your old enough to take care of youself and gaz. I’ll be gone”. After he left I immediately looked around the house in the rooms I can’t enter when he’s around. I ended up finding a box with a lock. On the top it says soemthing in cursive letters I couldn’t read it at the time. I used a bent paperclip to unlock it and it worked. The moment I did dad burst through the doors of the closet and took the box away. He hid it even better now and left again. Eh i guess I’ll check it out.
I go into the closet only to find the box laid out in the open. Almost like it wanted me to find it. I open it and find a jacket , some pictures,and a long thread of hair in a plastic bag. I close it to look at what is says and it’s maybelline, this is moms stuff. I take out the jacket and in the back it has a weird blue eyeball. Moms wearing this in the picture of her and dad. It’s their first date. It’s the first time I’ve seen dad without his lab coat covering his mouth. He looks happy. I look through and find a picture of gaz after she was born, that’s what the hair is there for. There’s a few more pictures but the last one is mom as a silhouette with glowing blue eyes with other silhouettes. Each of their names are written in white marker “Agent currywolf, Agent Darkbootie” and so on. Moms name is “Agent Wendigo”. The number of the people is on the back with it saying “Swollen eyeball network”.
There’s only one thing to do and that’s call the number to see if they can tell me more about mom.
