Okay..so I know I shouldn't be doing this considering I have five other fanfictions (Plus my original stories) BUTTTT
I really want to.
Like a super duper lot, and I'm planning on ending one of my other stories soon so yay :D :D!
Anyways, let us continue the story.
Normal POV.
"So, it's been decided then?" Dunhill asked as he stood in front of the towns people (excluding one), in his own house. There was no other choice really. Well mainly because no one else wanted to do it, and she was the only one capable.
No that was a total lie, many of them were capable, in fact other then the kids and the elders, she might be the least capable. However, this was the road that had to happen. There was no other choice, she was the only one who could do it.
Dunhill looked at the faces in the crowd, some looked guilty for doing this behind her back, while others looked pleased that they were not chosen. But, everyone looked positive that this was the decision.
The decision she would hate them for, but she'll get over it.
Just like she's always done.
"But who's going to tell her?
Rio's POV
I opened my eyes slowly at the beeping alarm, not wanting to get out my warm and comfy bed. Yes..the warmth I've created by wrapping myself into a taco was nice.
Very nice.
Considering it was the beginning of spring and we still get cold night while we get warm days. Understand it? Neither do I. But this is how the world works in this village.
In this happily...peaceful...and loving village I've worked so hard on...I think I definitely deserve this break. Maybe I can get someone to water my plants and look over my animals? No I can't really do that can I? Only a certain blonde knows how to take care of animals (and he might break me if I asked him to help) while no one really knows about plants. Stupid town. Stupid stupid town.
Oh well, I suppose I can just do the regular farm work (You know, trying my best not to let the living things die?) then go right back to sleep. I mean, it's obviously not going to be that nice of a day so I should just sleep through it!
*Bird happily sings*
Shush, that was not heard! The bird did not sing! It will not be a nice day!
I closed my eyes again, way too comfy to get up right now. Yeah it would be impossible for me if I tried to get up. So why don't I just sleep for a few more minutes...
I mean, what'll happen?
"RIO!" A loud voice called from outside before I heard the sound of my door cracking -no slamming- open. I sat up instantly, fearing for my life. Fearing that someone had heard my thoughts, because heaven forbid I sleep for a few more minutes. Even after all I've done for this town, I do not deserve a break. Ever.
"Niel?" I asked groggily, my vision still a bit blurry as I stared at the blonde haired man we spoke about in confusion. When my vision finally cleared up I saw that it was Niel. Thank goodness too, since if it had been any other person I would've ran to my bathroom on instinct to freshen up. To be honest though, I like getting my fingers dirty and didn't really care if my clothes got a bit muddy. But considering how I grew up with two slutty sisters (well I shouldn't call them slutty, that's rude. They just cared more about their looks then anything else.) that always forced mw to care about my looks, you can see why I'm like this. Even after anyear though..old habits still die hard.
However, with Niel I don't really panic, mainly because he doesn't judge me on my looks. He judges me on my personality, like a true friend. Well, I don't know if I can call him a friend yet. I think of him as a friend, but Mr. Grumpypants makes it clear that he doesn't lile me that much. He doesn't object when I hang out with him though (All the time at least..)
Anyways, back on the subject as why he could possibly be here. Hm..Niel always complains about seeing my face early in the morning, and I haven't made any animals pregnant yet..So why else would he be here? Unless..
"NOOO!" I yelled jumping out of bed, my eyes widened, as I hopped over to Niel and grabbing his foot while I lay on the ground "DON'T TELL ME JAUNE IS DEAD!"
"Wait wha-?" Niel started but I cut him off by yelling some more about my cow.
"I KNEW SHE WAS ACTING FUNNY BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THAT BAD!" I screamed, clinging to his foot as I was almost in tears. Poor Jaune..she had so much to live for. She was my first cow too! I don't normally like picking favourites.. but if I had to choose it would've been her. Probably because the other cows like to trample me. Bullies..
"Your cow isn't dead and next time tell me if she's acting funny!" Niel yelled and started to shake his leg to get me off. I widened my eyes even more then the last time and calmly stood up, pretending that nothing happened. I brushed off a bit of dirt that got on my amazing cow print jammies (geez this place needs to be sweeped) all while wearing a look on my face that said 'I knew that.
Niel rolled his eyes in frustration before I actually talked. "So..why are you here then?"
"Well...we had a town meeting," Niel started but I cut him off again "What! Without me? Wait was it earlier today? If so, then it's fine because I was sleeping."
"It was yesterday.."
"At like midnight?" I asked hopefully, considering I went to bed around ten. Wellnnormally I go to bed around eight but since it's still the beginning of spring I've got a lot of work to do. Which is one reason why I was so tired today.
"At six p.m." Niel answered, and my jaw dropped. Six p.m. is when I normally takey breaks for dinmer since I usually skip lunch. AND THEY KNOW THAT! So you know I work my butt off to rebuild (Not even help rebuild it, I WAS THE ONLY ONE DOING WORK!) and I don't get invited to town meetings? What, am I not important to this town or something? Ugh my cows AND neighbors are bullies.. using me for their own advantage.
"I wish they didn't send me.." Niel muttered in annoyance "For some reason they think I'm your only friend so sent me thinking I could soften the blow."
I wanted to argue that statement, but it was partially true. It's not like I'm NOT friends with anyone else..I just don't like to be the one that talks first. It normally gets me the 'loner' reputation because of that. Sure, people do come up and talk to me occasionally but never for that long. I guess you can just say I'm friendly with everyone, but not exactly friends with everyone. Pretty confusing right? Welcome to my life.
Niel and I are normally together though, I don't really understand how we became 'friends' but it just happened. Whatever the cause I like being able to act myself and not how my sisters want me too. Even if he hates myself.
"Soften the blow to what?" I asked cautiously stepping back for a second.
"There's a farmers olympics coming up and Dunhill thinks if we win then that can help the village by a whole lot." Niel started to explain, and sighed as he leaned his head on my wall.
"What does that have to do with me?" I asked cautiously again. However, deep down, I knew what the answer was.
"The town has decided that you will compete."
...
...
...
"NOOO!" I screamed again, jumping to the ground with my hands firmly around Niel's ankle.
"Get the hell off me!" Niel yelled and shook his foot again, my hands still holding on to him tightly.
"HAVE I NOT DONE ENOUGH FOR THIS TOWN?" I screamed dramatically before letting go of Niel's ankle and calming down. Well as calm as I could get.
"Now that you're finished having a spaz attack, don't you have work to do?" Niel asked rolling his eyes as he glared daggers into my soul.
"Crap.." I mumbled as realization kicked in and ran out the door.
