(Taavi224´s point of view)
Time goes fast, huh? It felt just like minutes ago, I had started chatting with another FF writer, Lagger123987 and the ohter writer, Wolfangel75. We planned to make a collab fic together. Already forty-five minutes had passed, and we only had the main outline of the first chapter, mainly because we wandered off topic. Certain Turians, Javelin missiles, Cod: MW2 and and even science teachers, they all came as subjects in the conversation. And can you believe it, my iPod touch crashed!
I turned another side in my bed. Due to time difference, we could only chat when it was about midnight for me with Lagger. With the other writer we had a two hour time difference. I looked at my alarm clock for a second and realized that it was 1 o'clock already. Another sleepless night. Pretty much. I yawned and pulled the blanket over my head. Steps were heard and my door opened.
"He sleeping?" asked my mother.
"Seems so." answered dad. He turned on the radiator and left.
I yawned again. I stayed still and cleared my thoughts, trying to get some sleep. It came, eventually.
***later***
I opened my eyes at the cold sunlight pouring in throught the window. There were snoring noises coming from the next room, so I most likely was the only person awake. I picked up my iPod and checked the mail. 5 new letters. New chapter of Mass Vexations, a review to my story, "Total Failure", Frontierville energy, a reply from dsarp, and… a message with no subject. I opened it first and saw the following:
To: Idi´Prazza vas Neema nar Idenna
From: Tali'Zorah vas Neema nar Rayya
Where did you go? It´s supposed to be a COVERT operation, not a straight shootout. Come quick, I got mechs on my tail, and I´m alone. Keelah Sel´lai.
What the-? I mean, yes, this was one of the discussed beginning for the fic, but this was not just some story. What if, what if it was real! But it can't affect me. I mean, Shepard arrives just in time and even if I wanted to, I couldn't get to Mass Effect universe. Bloody Mary in front of a mirror does not work, tested. But… Something told me that it was different. Why should a message like this even get to me? I'm a random student, after all.
No matter, just message got lost or something. So, next one is Frontierville energy. Just go back as I can't play the game on an iPod. Mass Vexations chapter, I'll deal with it later. On to the review! Wait… It's just a dot. Crazy people. Dsarp's, or his main account, Lagger123987's message:
I asked WolfAngel75 if she's wants to do a three way collab here's
our convers, though I'm using my lagger123987 account.
Lagger123987
Yesterday, 2:51pm Noticed you haven't been workin on your ME FFs, any plans
to continue working on it?
WolfAngel75
Yesterday, 3:01pm Yup. Hang on I'm writing a new chapter for one now
Lagger123987
Yesterday, 3:10pm just wonderin thats all, i'm currently doing a collabo with
Tavvi224, goin start writing it later if I'm not asleep by then, I'll still
available for a collab if u want, just not up to the task to workin my own fic
ATM. Though I been thinking of doing a collab fic between you, me, and
Tavvi224...
WolfAngel75
Yesterday, 3:21pm That would be awesome
Lagger123987
Yesterday, 3:27pm If you want, ill ask Tavvi224 if u want to be part of it,
threes company is not a bad thing, can get more interesting than just having
two ppl collabo. Though I get that feeling we might make another team milkyway
fic, since we'll be using MSN to communicate on making the dialogues and other
ideas to throw around.
WolfAngel75
Yesterday, 4:10pm Yes, ask him ;D I'm down
Lagger123987
Yesterday, 4:25pm Great! This should be better than our last work, hopefully
this time, we can stack reviews, hits, and viewers. I'll send a PM to him,
also for the record, I have a 2nd account on ...I use that account to talk to
Tavvi224, make two accounts one for serious writing and one for messing
around...
WolfAngel75
Yesterday, 5:03pm OK, so what is the account?
Lagger123987
a moment ago dsarp...dont ask why I use that name, and I'll send the whole
convers to Tavvi224 see what he said about doing a three way collab.
Wait, why is the old message showing up as unread?
I put the iPod back into the drawer and then threw my head on the pillow and slept some more.
I was awaken by my sister running into the room and telling me a story about her new "Harry Potter" Legos. I took my clothes from the side of my bed and dressed up. Mom was already downstairs, and I went there as well.
"Hey!" I greeted.
"We're out of milk. You want pancakes, right?"
"Yeah."
"Could you go to the store then?"
"Okay."
I shut the door behind me. It was a typical winter morning in Estonia. Snow everywhere, cold wind and vehicles everywhere, pushing snow out of the way. I turned around the corner and crossed a small street, and ten seconds later reached a main road. The light was green, so I walked over the road. I instinctively checked for my wallet, as the store was in my sights.
Left pocket - just my iPod. Right pocket - never been emptier. Whoops. Forgot it. Now I have to go all the way back and get scolded for forgetting everything. "Everything", right.
The light had switched to green again and I walked across the road, but accidentally tripped in the middle. I struggled to get up in the winter clothes. When I finally did that I noticed my light still being green and I continued forward. Wait, were they sounds of a speeding car? I quickly walked towards home, but the sounds came closer and I turned my head towards it. The car's brakes crying on the ice. The car coming closer. Me freezeing in shock. A hit to my stomach. Darkness overcame me.
(At approx the samet ime, Lagger123987´s POV)
Finally, another day in junior college done, heading home to continue playing Mass Effect 2 and chatting up with Lil' Tav and game is a like drug to me for some unknown reason, just can't stop playing it, well, mostly can't stop playing it, when there's new DLC to go around...
Anyway, walking down the street I encounter someone getting beat up by two guys, I ran up to them and yelled, "Stop beating him up!" The two guys turned around, one I recognize is one of my best friends and spoke, "What up, T Loc! joining in?" I replied, "What the hell man? Beating up one of my friends?" He looks at me with a confused face, "Wait, this reaper ** is a friend of yours?" right there I twitch my face a bit, "Didn't I tell you I'm the middleman between the TRGs (short for The Reaper Gang) and the ABZs (short for Azn Boyz)? I have friends both sides, if they want to settle a dispute come to me for it, not taking action right away." Picking up my friend's rival, "Go home, and don't mention anything about this encounter al'ight?"
As I'm watching the rival TRG member limp home, I turn and speak to Sicco Blue, "Next time, call me if you settle things down, you know I'm trying to make the neighborhood a better place..." Sicco Blue said, "Yeah, Yeah, I know after you got caught busted, you been trying to go clean ever since, so, heading home to play that game?" I smirked, "Yeah, don't I always?" The three of us laugh as we start to walk to my house, one I thing noticed was a car creeping up behind us at a slow speed.
I whispered to the two of them, "Car behind us, moving way too slow on these streets..." The dude that I didn't know replied, "No worries, maybe just some stalker chick wanna bang with us." As he chuckled...right there the car starts to pick up speed, that's when I noticed four Glock 17s out of the window.
"HOLY ** RUN!" I yelled. Unlike my two companions that are used to running around the streets and firing their Glock 19s from what I can tell, I'm limping behind (since when was the last time I been a street rat? 2 years ago?) pulling my M92 Beretta that I got from my uncle who work in the town's police department and firing at the drive-by car, my .44 Magnum Desert Eagle I got for my 18th birthday from my dad still on my holster, my dad knows I like firearms and wanted to own one for recreational shooting and target practice...as shots are being fired...tried to run as hard as I can come on, faster! Almost home! Breathing hard as I can tried to get to my house just a block away, right there, I began to feel the impact of the bullets on my back then fall to the floor, I try to gain conscious but my vision starts to blur till everything is all white...next thing I know after gaining consciousness, from what I can tell, I'm not at home anymore...
(And… WolfAngel75´s POV)
I grunt as I fell off my bed, bumping my head on my junk sprawled out all over the wooden floor. Shitcicle, I finally have a nice dream and I wake up. Typical.
I force my eyes open and glance at my alarm clock. In bright red letters it said 4:48. Ah man, too early, but might as well get up, need to talk to Lagger or Taavi and check my stories for any new reviews.
I pushed myself up and ran a hand through my brown wavy hair, it was notty, as it always it was in the mornings.
Once I brushed my hair I came into the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth, etc. I came back into my messy bedroom and sat at my desk, flipping my laptop lid open. Two messages and one review for my mass effect story; Into the Mass...Yeah that's a positive review.
I checked the two messages from Taavi and Lagger then replied. See, I was doing a collab with them.
"Ellise?" came a boys voice, a little high-pitched. I recognised it straight away. I sighed and rubbed my temples. "What Harrison?" I snapped. He came into the room and sat on my bed. I rose an eye brow. "Well?" I asked aafter a pause of silence he said "can I go on your game assassin's creed?" I sighed annoyed. He came in here for that?
"As long as you sign into your profile sure, now get," I said pointing to the door. He rushed out the door and I returned to my computer, starting to write my POV.
Once I wrote it I posted it and closed the lid when I hear my little sister wake up, all I'm saying is that she's the devil in disguise.
"Ellise!" I groan and go into my mums room, instantly recoiling and covering my eyes when I saw her with her boyfriend naked in the bed, "** hell mum!" I yell. "I didn't need to see that," I snap. Her boyfriend, Matt, rolled his eyes. "You- you see it everyyday you tart!" he slurs, drunk as always, I cringe in disgust and keep my eyes on the floor, away from him. "I need you to go to tesco," my ocean blue eyes snapped to her shocked.
"Mum, there is a storm outside! I'm not going out there!" she glares at me and I sigh frustrated. knowing I can't win. I turn and on my heel and was about to walk down stairs when I realised I was in hello kitty shorts and a black tank top.
"Whoops," I muttered going back to my bedroom, didn't want to go out with just this on.
I put on a long sleeved purple top with a V-neck and faded blue ripped Jeans with blue converse sneakers. I pursed my lips and picked up my video camera. I take it everywhere with me.
I put on a white sweat shirt and bounced down the stairs and swung open the front door before running out in the rain.
After I got the stuff my mum wanted I started to run to my house, stupid rain. I dropped the bags when a blinding white flash in my eyes and a huge boom that pounded in my ears. Lighting. I could hear my heart beating frantically in my ears. Sweat started to drop from my brow. "Holy **," I breathed. That nearly hit me. That nearly ** hit me!
I decided I liked living so I sprint across the road not caring if there's cars zooming past and beeping at me. I felt my right foot splash into a puddle, as if I wasn't wet enough! I pushed my wet hair away from my face, annoyed.
Everything was coming down in tiny bullets. The rain hitting my skin was slightly painful now, and the sky was lighting up with far-off cracks of lightning, followed by thunder that increased in volume each time it rang.
The sky lit up again, a blinding purple for a second. It was closely followed by that inevitable boom that pounded upon my ears, my feet splashing into more large puddles.
** perfect. I bet I looked like a drowned rat. Shitcicle, I was screwed for sure. The lighting sounded like it was getting closer. My lungs were on fire and I swore I just went to wrong way to my house.
And then it happened.
A thick, crooked line of light collided with the pavement, the lightning making an earthquake sound as it hit the road not four feet away from me. "Holy **!" I shrieked, walking backwards, unlucky for me there was a stupid stray rock and I trip over it, falling on my **.
I got up, shaking, scared shitless. I brake into an unsteady sprint, my heart punching my chest, I swear it was going to explode.
I turn around the corner, and that familiar vibration on the ground away feet behind me, told me that the storm was stalking me.
I then discovered people lied when they said you life flashes before your eyes.
The pitch-black sky brightened up again. A crooked light descended from the sky, striking me the way a snake does. Quick and deadly.
My blood was vibrating in my veins, shaking crazy energy through my entire body. The burning white light never left my eyes, Everything was bright, and blinding, and immaculately white, and very, very warm, And as quick as it started. It stopped.
That was the last thing I felt before the icky darkness finally took over.
A/N: So, review!
