So, here's my latest. Again, be honest in your reviews. I want to get better and I can't if you all sugar-coat it!
I was walking around on a circle of stones outside of my house, which is where I normally spend my time outside. It has a pond at the center for decoration, but I used to dig up parts of anthills then dump em in, so there's a lot of dirt in there, and it's gotten kinda overgrown. Still, I love it.
I was bored as I could ge- Oh! I haven't done introductions yet, have I? Name's Aadyn. I'm a 15 year old oddball who likes YuGiOh, Pokemon, reading, Kingdom Hearts, some anime shows, and believes very fiercely in free will and that our heart is the most important part of us. I also talk to myself a lot thanks to too much time alone, and even before that started I occasionally doubted my sanity, but that's beside the point. I'm almost 6 feet tall, my hair is long, black and kinda wild since I don't care about brushing it and I hate haircuts. I have some scars, nothing crazy like a 2 foot line on my arm, more like where I skinned my knee real bad, when I cut my finger with a pocket knife, or when I busted my chin on some concrete steps. I have 2 birthmarks on the left side of my face, one of which people think is a black eye, and the other is on my jaw, but faint and even I sometimes forget about it. My eyes are brown, and that's about it. I don't really care about my looks, so I tend to avoid mirrors. I'm ugly and nothing will change that, but even before I realized that they were avoided. In my opinion, fashion or fussing over looks for hours on end is boring and pointless. I wear what I want, keep my hair how I want it, which is pretty much bed head 24/7, and that's how it is. I'm strong from being, as I like to put it, the "family pack mule", and I'm faster than I look, not exactly stupid either. I have a bad temper, and I really hate it when people say things about me that aren't true. Mess with something or someone I hold close to my heart, I'll put you so deep in the ground you'll fall out the other end of the Earth. Case in point, this morning at school one of my classmates tried to take some of my favorite DS games, and he dropped them immediately when I politely asked him to give them back with my hands around his throat!
When I was little I was kinda clumsy, and since I always have and always will be a fan of medieval weaponry, I began teaching myself to fight, using broken tree limbs to stand in for weapons. I don't know how I'd stack up against someone in a real deal fight, but I hope I'll do well. Now, back to the story. I've rambled enough.
As I walked around I couldn't think of anything to do, so I grabbed a shovel from nearby and began digging. I doubt that sounds much better but I was limited in my options and I was hoping I'd get an idea as I dug. But, after about 20 minutes, nothing. I was about to stop and fill the hole in when I felt the tip hit empty space. Then, the dirt below me collapsed! I fell a few feet and landed on my back. Luckily I have tough bones, and most of my back is bone and muscle, so it wasn't too jarring.
I got up and noticed a flashlight next to me. I turned it on, illuminating more of the room I'd landed in. To one side was a ladder that I bet lead to some kind of hatch a couple inches underground. There's my exit. But on the opposite side? Writing. It was kinda dusty, but I could read it. It said something about... What the?! Slugterra!? This place looked centuries old, most of it stone and wood, all having seen better days. How could Slugterra be mentioned? That's a TV show younger than most of my cousins, and about 1/3 aren't even in school! Only one solution, and I had better not be dreaming! Just in case, I bit myself on the right index finger, hard. YOWCH! Yep, I'm awake alright... that really hurt. Wait! If I'm awake, then this is real!
Epic! I could actually go to Slugterra! But I'd need to cover my trail for one. If people find this place looking for me, I'd seen enough of the show to know that would be the same as letting back the Devil himself. They would take out the only line of defense from the Deep Caverns! I'd have to be thorough. Plus, I would need supplies. I've considered running off just for an adventure before. Maybe I could play it off as that. Wouldn't exactly be a lie either. I'll come back someday. I'll leave a note, and leave a false trail or two, maybe making it look like I'm going to... Where is somewhere I'd go? Ooh! I'll say I'm going to the Gulf of Mexico first, then going around the U.S. at random. Make it harder to track me if I don't have a clear destination. I'll make sure they know I'm coming back too. Might make them worry a bit less. Of course, when I do return, it'll probably be just to be put in the ground again by my friends and family, this time for good.
Well, with that decided, I'd best head back down the hill. I'll pack up and leave my trail tonight, then slip away while I'm up the hill "playing." I tend to be up here as long as I can. That'll leave me time to fill in the hole too. And since I chose to dig in a spot we all usually avoid, they won't find the filled in hole too soon. I'll pull in the dirt somehow as I close the hatch, maybe lean it all against it, so gravity will do the work. Worth a shot. As of tomorrow, my adventure begins!
So, how was the start? I'm willing to take suggestions for slugs and maybe some other OCs to befriend. You can even make up your own slugs. Just remember to give me their appearances and stats! Now, Aadyn out for bedtime! I can barely keep my eyes open...
