Where am I? Redone: Chapter One- Lillian Has a Problem. A BIG one.
Hey, everyone, this is a remake of the original Where am I. First off, a big sarcastic thank you to Neckron, yes, him, who ruined my self-esteem with his horrible reviews. I'm sure all of you readers know him, maybe he even flamed you. Once or twice? If you don't like the new one, don't read the rest and don't leave a nasty review, like a moron. A real thank you to Kakashi of the Shangrian Eye, Maiden of the Pink Heart, and especially PrincessTT8, my dearest friend, for sending me good reviews. Some criticism to Star Fox Adventures, for their plagiarism of the awesome game Zelda, and I'd like to tell you, in advance, that this story takes place right after Star Fox Command. The battle tactics are a combination of Star Fox Command and Assault. Also, the story will have two points of view. Figure that out yourself. Lillian Carter is no longer a celeb. Finally, if you don't have anything nice to say, why don't you not say anything at all?
Running across the windswept plains, I felt free. It was as if Snowfire and I were one and the plain was the sky. We were flying. The Skyward Ranch was famous for its wonderful pastures and great thouroughbreds. My horse, Snowfire, was a palomino rescued from the ASPCA. I was riding around suppertime out to the trails where my sister had been for about two hours, supposedly training for a competition. As I reached the trail leading to the forest, I was carefully studiyng Snowfire's coat. She needed a bath and a brushing.I knew that she needed her hooves cleaned. I could feel that Snowfire was as worried as I was.
Suddenly I realized: Snowfire's mane and my long straight hair were the same. Light gold. Then my mind snapped back into reality.Where is she? I thought worriedly. Yes, well, I am Lillian Carter, first daughter of Skylar Carter; I am age 25. I am also the new owner to the Skyward Ranch. Of course, I wouldn't run the huge ranch myself. My sister, who is also one of my best friends, are partners now. We promised we would run the ranch together at a young age, even if I was three years older than her. My mind raced as fast as Snowfire was running. At the edge of the forest, I saw Godspeed, Phoebe's horse. Phoebe is my sister, if you didn't already know. Sometimes people ask if we're twins. Yeah, sarcastically, my mom was in labor for three years. The black horse always had the fire in his eyes, but he was wild with fear. I galloped toward him. "Whoa, Godspeed! Calm down!" At the sound of my voice, he stopped bucking and kicking. "Hey, buddy, can you show me where you lost her?" The horse stared at me with its firey eyes. Then he ran toward a fallen branch. "Nobody's here, boy!" I exclaimed. Then, Snowfire went crazy.
I saw a fox-like shadow in the mist, but, strangely, it was running on two legs toward me. The figure had a rifle. Snowfire's knees buckled and she fell to the ground. "Get up, Snowfire!" I said. She staggered to her feet and stood up quickly. I jumped on her with Godspeed still attached to the saddle. Both horses went crazy again. I could hear jets, or what sounded like a jet, rocketing nearby. I rode back out onto the plain, but then an explosion wind knocked me off. The horses ran home, most likely. I had to walk to my parents' house, about 400 yards away. They had recently moved out of the ranch house, leaving it to me. My parents lived with the wilders. Wilders are the wild horses we let run free here.
When I came to Papa's house Ma was awfully worried. "Papa, there's somethin' in that woods!" I said. "It's a big fox. It runs on two legs, like a human!" Papa was horrified. He knew I never went anywhere without Phoebe, so he took action.
"Come on, Lil," he said, using my kid name, "We're gonna go kill that walkin' fox." Then his cold came back and Papa started coughing.
"Papa, I can do it myself. You stay here and get better." I said. I actually cared about my Ma and Pa.
"Alright hon," Ma said, handing me Trusty, Pa's rifle.
"Ma, can I borrow Chasta?" I asked. " I lost Snowfire. She probably went home, with Godspeed."
"If you found Godspeed, then where's- where's-" Ma stuttered.
"I'm gonna find her, Ma," I said determinedly. I felt a quiver of fear in my gut. I hugged Ma, waved bye to Pa, and went to the new barn. "Chasta! Come on, old girl! We're goin' hunting!" I heard the old mare neigh. She was a huning horse, and Pa always takes her to the woods when he feels up to it. I called Johnson, the bloodhound Pa always takes on hunting trips. "Ready to go people?" I asked them. There was an array of neighs and howls. "Let's go!" We trotted slow so Johnson could keep up on his stubby legs. A slender, bird-like one jumped off of a low branch and in front of me, hidden in the fog.
"Hey, I think I found her!" It called. Two others came, wearing gas masks, along with the first one. One was the fox-like one from before, and the other was short and fat. "Throw the bomb," The bird one whispered. The clear gas came out of the small jar-like thing, even if the gas was invisible, I could still see it, but I was too stunned to move. I immedeately fell asleep, and I felt one of them pick me up where I fell off Chasta.
Thanks for reading! I hope you guys like this one! -----Sincerely, Phoenix
