Enter the Moon Dragoon: Chapter one
By: Star Dragonmaiden
Disclaimer: I don't own LoD. I do own Abigail Wilkins and the Moon Dragoon, though. So, if you steal my ideas, you'll be hearing from me! …Sorry. It's that time of the month. RR please! This is my first fanfic so go easy on me.
"'Dear Mr. Wilkins:
We regret to inform you that your daughter, Abigail Wilkins, has recently been expelled,' again, 'for the remainder of the school year on the grounds of endangering the health and welfare of a fellow student.' Geez, all I did was break his jaw and they make it sound like I tried to murder him. Besides, he shouldn't have been shooting his mouth off if he wasn't prepared to face the consequences," Abigail snorted indignantly as she looked from her expulsion letter to her best friend, Amy Richardson.
"So, how many times does that make, Abby?"
"Twice."
"Hey, that means we'll be in the same grade!" Amy squealed, hugging Abigail. Abigail ruffled Amy's hair, grinning fondly as they approached Abigail's home.
"Dad's not home yet…See ya around Amy!" Abigail waved good-bye to her best friend and trudged into her house. She grinned as her black kitten, Midnight, came up to greet her by rubbing up against her leg and pawing at her jeans.
"Hey Midnight! You behaved yourself, I hope." Abigail laughed, scooping the kitten off the ground. She then looked at her backpack and expulsion letter, which she had carelessly tossed on the floor, with distaste. Abigail smiled, her pale blue eyes sparkling, as she brought Midnight up to look her in the face.
"Midnight, I believe that I speak for every student when I say, SCREW THE DAMN SCHOOL! I'm playing a video game!" Abigail exclaimed. As if to reply, Midnight purred as she began to bat at Abigail's red bangs. With Midnight cradled in one arm, Abigail grabbed a soda and ran to her room. She set Midnight on her bed and turned to her VERY large collection of video games. 'What to play? What to play?' she thought, and then smiled as she grabbed her copy of 'Legend of Dragoon'. 'Huh, what a tough choice.' However, when she fired up her Playstation, the TV screen was flashing and making strange noises. Abigail tilt her head to one side, frowning.
"What the bloody hell…?" she grumbled as she went to reset her Playstation. Just as she was about to press the button, the lights flickered out. 'Aw, shit…' she thought. Then, a strange message began to scroll across the screen, followed by a haunting voice.
"Dragoon of the Moon Dragon…come to me…" Abigail blinked, utterly confused. 'Moon Dragoon…? The hell?' She almost jumped out of her skin when Midnight rubbed against her leg. Abigail sighed as she felt around for her kitten and picked her up. As she sat back in her chair, a bright multi-colored flash of light emitted from her TV blinded Abigail. When the light faded, the room was empty. Abigail Wilkins and Midnight had vanished.
Abigail woke up when something pawed at her neck. She grumbled something close to 'leave me alone' and shook her head slightly. A few seconds later, a sharp pain shot through her hand. "YYEEOOCCHH!" she cried and sat up with a start. After grumbling a few mild curses, Abigail glared at Midnight, who had sunk her claws into Abigail's hand to wake her. Her anger quickly dissipated when she realized that she no longer in her room but sprawled out on a drawbridge that looked vaguely familiar. 'What the…hell? Where am I? This looks like…' she thought. Before she could dwell on this subject longer, Abigail was torn from her thoughts by a loud crash and a yell.
"YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE!" Abigail winced at the noise.
"And here I thought no one could shout that loud. To think, I once had half-decent hearing," she grumbled dryly and paused, looking around, "Is it just me, or does this place remind me of Hellena Prison?" Letting her curiosity get the best of her, Abigail tucked Midnight into the collar of her jacket and walked in. The scene inside confirmed her suspicions.
"Oookay… If this is a dream, this is the strangest one yet" Abigail murmured as she watched a three-on-one battle that was taking place.
A blond-haired man in red armor wielding a broadsword… 'Dart…'
Another blond-haired man in grayish armor wielding a spear… 'Lavitz…'
A brown-haired woman, who was visibly scared, had an arrow aimed at Fruegal… 'Shana… Yep, strangest. Dream. Ever. If I pinch myself, maybe I'll wake up' Abigail thought, pinching her arm. She yelped slightly. 'So much for the dream theory…' Shrugging, she turned her attention to the battle. Abigail winced when Fruegal hurled a huge rock that caught Lavitz in the head and knocked him flat. The thing that pissed her off, though, was the fact that Fruegal went to bash Lavitz's skull in while he was starting to get up. Without thinking, she dashed full speed at Fruegal and rammed him in the side with her shoulder, knocking him away. The trio stared at her in shock while the extremely overweight head warden glared menacingly.
"My, aren't you a brave little girl. You're not bad looking either. It's a shame to ruin such a pretty face," Fruegal sneered. Abigail raised an eyebrow, then started quivering and acted frightened.
"Oh, I'm scared! Ha! You don't scare me! By the way, call me "little girl" one more time and your big ass is gonna get kicked!" she growled, cracking her knuckles to emphasize her point. Fruegal threw his head back and laughed an ugly laugh. Abigail winced for the third time since she got there. He sneered at her once more.
"Oh, really, little girl? We'll just see about that!" he yelled as he ran at her with his club raised. Abigail smiled and waited until Fruegal got close enough and sent him reeling with a hard slap across the face. She shrugged innocently as she walked toward the three soon-to-be Dragoons. They just stood there staring at her. Dart was the first to speak.
"We better get out of here before more guards show up," he turned to Abigail, "I suppose you'll want to go with us?" She smiled.
"If it's not too much trouble."
"Okay, we'll take the horses," Lavitz said, leading them toward the stable and they rode off, Abigail clinging to the horse in panic.
That's Chapter 1! I hope you liked it! Chapter 2 will be up soon!
