All of Your Scars
Chapter 1: Reborn
I run to the docks as I tried to get away from the people who are after me. I couldn't run anymore because of the pain from the bullet in my stomach. I drop to my knees in pain as I clutch the wound in my stomach. When the five men catch up to me they roughing took my backpack away. One of the men named Joey grabbed me by the shirt as yank me up on my feet. I look at him in fear as he said, "You know, we could have avoided all this, Ymir. But you were just too damned stubborn."
I said, "Joey, please you're making a big mistake! These drugs are not supposed to be used! You're going to kill your clients if you let them take it!"
"We've tested them out before and it went perfectly fine. If you weren't so stupid we wouldn't have to do this. Now do me a big favor and die."
When he shot me in the head my whole world went black. I thought that was it for me. Until the light came back to me and I reawakened inside a room full of plants and in a nice cozy bed. When I sit up I've felt a bit of pain in my stomach and groaned.
"Look who's finally awake." said a redheaded woman who comes over to sit on the edge of the bed.
I looked at her oddly and said, "I'm not dead?" Wait... Why does my voice sound different?
"Of course not silly. I've saved you from the river. I have been taking care of you for weeks."
"Wait a minute... Something's wrong." I feel my chest and realized that I don't have breasts. I mean I do have then but they're flat! I then became curious and reach down to feel my- "OH MY GOSH! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"
"What?! What?! What are you freaking out on?!"
"I need a mirror! Please give me a mirror!"
She nods as she quickly hands me a mirror. I look into it and I see a man with black hair, green eyes, and pale skin. I said, "I'm... I'M A MAN?!"
"... Were you not suppose to be a man?"
"NO I'M SUPPOSED TO BE A WOMAN! WHO IS THIS GUY?!"
"Um, well he's Oswald Cobblepot. Who are you suppose to be?"
"Ymir Noire, I'm a female!... Wait did you say Oswald Cobblepot? Isn't he the criminal underworld kingpin called the Penguin?"
"Yes."
"He went missing for a while right?"
"Yes."
"What happened to him?"
"Well from what I've heard from the recent news, his Cheif of Staff, Edward Nygma, who is now calling himself as the Riddler, is the one who tried to kill him. So what are you? A split personality of Penguin's?"
"No, I'm not! I swear I was a woman just seconds ago! I was... I was..."
"You were what?"
"... I was shot in the head... Joey killed me... I'm dead..."
"... Ohhhh so does this mean that you're like reborn?"
"I guess so. This is so freaky. Awww I don't want to be a man! I was just fine as a woman! GASP! What the hell am I going to tell Alex?!
"Alex?"
"My girlfriend. Oh man oh man oh man! What on earth am I going to do?! I have to see her. I have to tell her what happened to me."
I tried to get out of bed but the pain kept me down as I groan in pain. She said, "Take it easy, Ymir. This body you're is not fully healed yet. You must rest before you can just go anywhere."
"For how long?"
"Give it a few days or so."
"Sigh, alright... What's your name?"
"Ivy Pepper. If you don't mind, can we be friends, Ymir?"
I look at her and smile as I nodded, "Sure."
"Are you hungry?"
"Yeah."
"I'll bring you back something to eat."
She leaves the room. Man oh, man... What on earth am I going to do?
