Which Is The Dream?
Chapter 1: Entering A New Life
Summary: Sisters Tiffany and Fiona Tannon love the game Guild Wars 2 with all of their heart, but when they wake up in a supposedly strange world, they need to figure out what is happening, before their ignorance gets them killed.
Author's Notes: I don't have very much experience in writing, (not as much as my sister definitely (aka Tiffany Smithi) and I highly recommend her stories. This isn't my first fanfiction, but I'm still a beginner.
"Hey, Tiffany, over here!" Fiona says, calling her sister over to where she is fighting a centaur with a sword.
"Coming," Tiffany replies, finishing off a bandit with an arrow before jumping at the centaur with her greatsword.
"Girls!" Their mother's voice rings through the house, "Time to get off!"
Tiffany and Fiona groan, today was cleaning day and they had to do what they could in their short break time in between chores. They entered the kitchen and speed-cleaned the table and swept the floor, before dashing back to their room, hoping this was another lucky time their mother didn't call after them to do more chores. "Please clean the living room too!" she calls after them as they speed down the hall. They groan and grumpily walk back into the living room.
"Hey Tiff,"
"Yes?"
"My screen is very bright, and the brightness is all the way down."
Tiffany came over to investigate, "Wow! That's brighter than it usually is when the screen is on max brightness!"
"I know!"
Tiffany turns back to her own screen before turning back to Fiona with a shocked expression on her face. Fiona glances over and sees that Tiffany's screen is also blindingly bright. Tiffany sits back down at her computer and stares at the screen. "I'm tired," she says, standing up abruptly.
"Me to," Fiona agrees, they look at each other strangely, it was the middle of the day, they shouldn't be tired, they'd had a good night's sleep last night. Fiona is also standing now, and they both start heading towards the door.
"Where are we?" the voice startles Fiona awake and she sits up sharply upon realizing she is lying in the grass. After echoing her sister, Fiona rubs the sleep from her eyes before looking around. They are sitting beside a house. The girls stand up and look at each other, both with the same question in their eyes, 'Where are we?'.
Suddenly, a man dressed in white dashes towards them, and they flatten themselves against the house, letting him pass, but he just grabs their arms and drags them to the front steps of the house. "In, get in!" he says frantically, pushing them towards the door and rushing off. Something is familiar about the man, but they can t place it, so they cautiously go inside the house.
Tiffany gasps, the house looks so familiar, but she doesn't know where she's seen it before, it's definitely not her house! Pretty soon, people start pouring into the large house, Fiona pokes her head out, but Tiffany pulls her back inside, Fiona glares at her. Fiona was always the energetic and adventurous one, but Tiffany was almost the opposite! The hard pounding of many feet finally got the better of Tiffany, and she pokes her head through the door, Fiona takes her chance and pulls the door open, before she steps out onto the grass, under the warm sun. Tiffany follows her, of course, but every one else seems almost of the opposite mind, they had looks of fear on their faces and some of them rushed towards the door in an attempt to bring the sisters back inside, but the two girls run off down the dusty, dirt road.
They haven't gone far, however, before they see something glowing in the ground ahead, they run towards it, when they get there they see a large glowing pulsing blue diamond shaped stone in the ground. They cautiously step towards it, but just then, another man in white appears in the middle of the large stone, a glowing blue shield comes up around the edges of the diamond. Both girls look at each other, now that they had gotten a clearer view of who he was, they knew he was a seraph. Tiffany and Fiona Tannon were in Tyria. The blue stone is a waypoint, they know it is shaemoor waypoint. They turn right and continue running down the path until they come to a bridge on their right, with centaurs attacking the rapidly retreating seraph.
Tiffany hears a big thump and whirled around to see a centaur not 5 feet from her lying on the ground with and arrow in its heart. Tiffany steps forward to take the bow out of its still hands, an arrow is nocked, and ready for shooting. She also robs it of it's quiver, slinging it on her back, before drawing back and releasing an arrow on a centaur a ways away from them who is attacking another seraph. The arrow misses, going over the centaurs back, but they have gotten it's attention, and as it turns toward them, the seraph takes no notice, and jumped to the side to avoid being hit by another centaurs sword. Fiona, realizing that she doesn't have anything to defend herself with, turns around and picks up the best thing she can find, a long stick from under a nearby tree. Tiffany nocks another arrow, and hit the centaur in the front right leg, it being close enough for her to shoot it even having never touched a bow before. As it bears down on Tiffany, Fiona jabs her stick at it, making it veer off course for a second. Tiffany then took her sisters example and slings her bow on her back, before taking an arrow out of her quiver and thrusts it at the centaurs chest as it turns around, before it sends Tiffany flying fifteen feet away. Fiona wants to help her sister, but knew that she can t, so she plucks an arrow from the ground, and drives it into the centaurs neck, dodging to the side in time for it to fall forward, gasping it's last words of revenge. As soon as she is able, Fiona runs toward her sister, who is lying on her back, staring up at the sky.
"Tiffany, are you okay?"
"Yes...I...my head...maybe..."
"Tiffany..."
"Fiona...I'm alright." Tiffany sit up wearily,
"I got one too, from another downed centaur." Fiona says, showing Tiffany another bow and quiver.
Tiffany shoots to her feet, a fierce look in her eyes, "Lets fight!" The girls take their bows and run toward the battle, falling behind a seraph, they both shoot their bows at the unsuspecting centaur, who is dodging the seraphs attack, Tiffany's arrow goes above its head, but Fiona's strikes it between its forelegs, before sliding along its belly and dropping to the ground a little way behind it. The seraph kills it before turning toward them, thankfulness in his eyes. Wow, they are already doing good. They both stay away from very much action, not wanting to get hurt. That is, until Fiona gets angry with her bow and her stupid aim, so she slings her bow on her back, takes out an arrow, and charges into the battle before sliding on the wet grass and sticking a centaur in the side with her arrow, having it collapse on top of her, the seraph it was fighting came to her rescue, heaving it off of her before handing back her arrow.
Tiffany is still using her bow, not as impatient as her sister, and trying to perfect her aim, killing a few centaurs in the process, but after she thinks she is getting better at it, she, too, put her bow on her back and charges in with her sister. The girls work together, Fiona stabs it first to get it's attention, then Tiffany stabs it again, from the other side, they usually work with another seraph to kill it. As they both relax a little, flowing more easily with their arrows, they start experimenting with what they can do, Fiona uses her arrow and slides the tip along its side, and then jumps away, embedding her arrow in one of it's back legs, before Tiffany jabs it with the point of her arrow, twisting it to dig out flesh and then ducks and jumps to the side at the same time before doing it again, meanwhile Fiona slices or stabs at it until a seraph comes and slices its head off, or stabs it in its throat or heart. The centaurs die quickly, so they don t have time to figure out the girls' technique.
After a time, Fiona gets too excited and curious, and charges a centaur, her arrow in front of her, and slices a centaurs back before she jumps on it's back, the centaur thrashes and soon, she wounds it's arms so it can t continue in its attempts to grab her, but it can still throw her off, it bucks and twists, Fiona is having fun. That is until the centaur runs into some more centaurs who are more than willing to slice Fiona to ribbons, she slides off it's back, falling to the ground, just as Tiffany sees the danger her sister is in, and grabs a heavy sword from a fallen seraph, and using all her might she swings the sword in front of her and make the centaurs back up a pace, Fiona crawls to safety, and Tiffany uses her momentum to spin in circles, making the centaurs back off and wounds some of them, before she drops the sword. Fiona steps up to the sword, it is a lot heavier than she expects it to be, and she is having a hard time trying to lift it, but she raises it above her head and throws it as far as she can into the crowd of centaurs, she takes the time they follow it with their eyes to scramble out of the way to Tiffany before they both run back. Fiona pulls out her bow again and Tiffany follows, and soon both sisters start killing centaurs again
Author's Notes: So, how do you like it? Wow, I'm really getting tired of writing the word centaur (and I just did it again!). Reviews are welcomed, and helpful reviews are wanted, if you see some grammatical error, please tell me.
