Disclaimer : I don't own anything from perfect dark, it belongs to Rare…except for the original characters.
A/N : Like I promised, here is another perfect dark story that as nothing to do with the two others. Of course, I'll continue to write 'through his eyes' at the same time, I just wanted to try something completely different of what I saw in the perfect dark section. The moment where this story is happening is not really important because like I say, this story has not any links with the others. Let's just say that it's happening after Joanna defeated the Skedar king.
Chapter 1: Joanna's weird day
That day, Joanna woke up two hours late. She cursed as she noticed what time it was. Her alarm clock had betrayed her. It was the first time ever in her life that she was going to be late for work. Velvet entered her room with a big grin.
"Good morning Jo! Did you sleep well?", asked Velvet with a cheerful tone.
"Yes, I sleep well. The only problem is that I'M TWO HOURS LATE", exclaimed Joanna.
"You're really tired aren't you?", asked Velvet.
"What do you mean?", asked Joanna with an annoyed tone.
"Don't you remember? We took the plane 2 days ago to go on in England. We decided to take vacation to the house of our parents…", answered Velvet.
Then Joanna realized she wasn't late for anything, she was on vacation…
"Damn…I completely forgot…At least I'm not late for work", replied Joanna.
"You should get out of this bed and take some breakfast, it will help you to clear your mind", suggested Velvet.
"Yeah…I'm coming", answered Joanna.
Velvet left Joanna's room and closed the door behind her. Joanna quickly got dressed and went to the kitchen. Becky, her mother, smiled to her. Her father James was reading the newspaper, as usual.
"Good morning Joanna", Becky said with a slight smile.
"Hi mom"
Suddenly, a freezing wind crossed the kitchen. Joanna chilled, Becky retained a scream and it was enough to make James put down his newspaper and look at his surrounding.
"What was that?!", exclaimed Becky.
"This was really strange", commented James.
"This was… weird", replied Joanna.
Velvet rushed in the kitchen with a confused look.
"I think that it's coming from the well", Velvet said as she tried to catch her breath.
"I'll go take a look", replied Joanna as she took out her falcon 2.
"Wait! Don't you think it could be dangerous?", asked Becky.
"My job is to confront the danger after all", answered Joanna.
"I'll go take a look with you", Velvet replied.
"Fine, let's go", Joanna said as she reloaded her falcon 2.
…………………………………………………………….
Joanna and Velvet arrived in front of the well. It was an old and decrepit well. It didn't have any use anymore; it was just a souvenir from the past… of the time where technology didn't really exist. It seemed like…a kind of wind was blowing from the well. Joanna looked inside, but nothing special was visible.
"There's nothing special", commented Joanna.
"Are you sure? It doesn't look like there's nothing special with that kind of wind coming from it", replied Velvet.
Just after Velvet finished her sentence, the wind began to blow a lot more than before.
"I'll look more closely. Can you hold me? I don't want to fall in the well", Joanna asked.
Joanna leaned over the well, hoping to see something. Apparently, it was a bad idea for Joanna to approach the well that much. The wind changed his direction as Joanna was taking a look at the well. The wind was blowing in the opposite direction…it was now luring Joanna in the well.
"What the hell?!", Joanna whispered.
"Be careful Jo, it's getting dangerous", commented Velvet as she held Joanna's waist.
The wind was even more powerful than before. Velvet couldn't hold Joanna anymore. The wind was too powerful. She lost her grip.
"JOANNA!", Velvet shouted as she caught Joanna by one of her leg.
"HELP ME VELVET!", yelled back Joanna with a terrified tone.
"I CAN'T…HOLD YOU ANYMORE…", replied Velvet.
Velvet lost her grip and Joanna fell in the well in an incredible speed. Joanna prepared herself to hit the hard ground of the well but it never happened. She suddenly fell very dizzy and lost consciousness.
"JOANNA!!! JOANNA!!!", shouted desperately Velvet.
There wasn't any response. Velvet began to panic. She let fall a rock in the well to check if it was deep. With the sound she heard, it didn't seem to be very deep. She jumped in the well and fell on the ground made or rock. Velvet was lucky; she didn't hurt herself. She looked at her surroundings with a puzzled tone…Joanna wasn't there…
……………………………………………………………
Joanna woke up in the well. She looked at the top and saw that the sun was beaming.
"Hello…Are there anyone here?", asked Joanna to see if Velvet or anyone else would be near.
There weren't any answers. She hardly stood up and noticed there was a ladder in the well.
"This is really weird…I was sure there wasn't any ladder in that well", Joanna commented to herself.
She suddenly noticed the well didn't looked like it was very old anymore. Jo looked at the well with a puzzled tone. Why does it seem so…new? She climbed the ladder. She hoped she could just go home again and return on the bed. There were some days like this when you just wish you had never woke up. When she arrived at the top of the well, she was completely stupefied by what she saw. The house of her parents was nowhere to be found…well…there weren't any houses at all! She was next to a forest and there was a meadow in front of her. Everything seemed so peaceful. Joanna had never seen such landscape in her life. In her futurist time, views like this were really rare. Now everything was completely natural…
"That's it! I didn't wake up yet! I'm probably lying in the well in my own country and just knocked out", said Joanna to reassure herself.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud roar coming from the forest. A Skedar went out from the forest and tried to attack her. She took out her falcon 2 and emptied her magazine on the Skedar. The dead Skedar fell on the ground. As she was reloading her gun, she heard a noise coming from behind her…it was like footsteps. She quickly turned herself and faced her opponent. It was a man holding a bow. They looked at each other with a puzzled look. Joanna was very surprised to see the kind of…medieval clothes the archer was wearing. The man didn't seem to notice anything special about Joanna's clothes; he was just staring at her face.
"…Joanna? Is that you?", asked the archer with a confused tone.
"…How did you know my name?", asked Joanna.
"Don't you remember me Joanna? It's me, Jonathan", answered the man.
"…Jonathan?…"
Then Joanna noticed how the archer looked similar to the most experienced agent of the Carrington Institute…that she wasn't able to bear… If it weren't from his weird clothes and his long and wavy hair, the man would really look the same as Jonathan.
"…Jonathan…the Jonathan from the Carrington Institute? The Jonathan that loves to annoy me with my habit of shooting first and thinking after?", asked Joanna.
"What? What are you talking about? I liked to annoy you sometimes but…what is that Carrington thing? And the habit of shooting first and thinking after? Explain yourself, I don't understand anything of what you're saying", replied Jonathan.
"Wha…you don't understand? I don't really think we met before…You're not like the Jonathan I knew", Joanna said with a confused tone.
"Are you sure? You really look like Joanna…", replied Jonathan.
"Anyway…I just wanted to know, where are we?", asked Joanna.
"You don't even know where you are? You're really a strange person. We are on Lord Carrington's domain", answered Jonathan.
Joanna looked at him with dumbfounded gaze. What kind of dream was she doing? She meets Jonathan that is disguised in an archer and now she on Carrington's domain?
"I think that it's the weirdest day of my life", commented Joanna with an extremely confused tone.
End of Chapter 1
The people who are watching the anime called Inu-Yasha probably thinks it's very similar to the first episode when Kagome is brought in feudal Japan. I admit it. Rumiko Tagashi inspired me for this chapter… I promise the other chapters will come from my own head. So how was it? Do you think this story has potential or that it completely sucked? Tell me in a review :)
