Chapter 1
"Hmmmm..." Max woke to the bright morning sun shining in her eyes. "To bright," thought max, "Oh shit, we overslept!"
She jumped up and looked around quickly, "It looks okay..." she thought with a sigh of relief, then she spotted her best friend Ash sprawled out on the ground still asleep. "Hey get up lazy butt! We over slept!" She yelled as she threw her pillow directly at his face.
"Huh? What?" He asked, still groggy. Then recognition sparked in his eyes, "Oh crap! We did?" He started looking around wildly.
Max sighed in exasperation. Ash was her best friend, and they had known each other for as long as she could remember. They were like siblings; in fact they even looked alike...except for one thing. Even though they had the same dark red hair and build, though Ash was two inches taller, one thing that separated them without a doubt was the fact that Max had two spiky white cat ears and a tail to match. She had, had them since she was born, and even though she couldn't remember her parents, her aunt told her they had them too. She and Ash had gotten used to them but she still got weird looks and insults from time-to-time.
"Hey, Max!" Ash yelled interrupting her momentary space out, "did you check on the clients yet?"
"Craappp, no not yet! Hang on, I'll go look," Max yelled as she ran off towards a tent set up in a clearing to the right.
The thing was, Max & Ash were what most people would call mercenaries. They would be hired by people who wanted guides, messengers, protection, assassins, etc. It wasn't an ideal life but it helped 'em make some money and it kept them on the move. It also helped that they actually enjoyed it a bit. Plus they got to work together so they figured it was alright for now.
Anyway, Max had run into the clearing and was just about to knock on the tent post when one of their clients walked out rubbing his eyes. "Hello," said Max, "Oh good this is the nicer of the two! Maybe he won't be that mad about the delay." Max thought.
"Oh hello," replied the client, "Good morning to you, is it time to go?"
"Well yes but," Max hesitated for a second, "Well there's been a small delay..."
"How small?"
"We kinda overslept...by two hours..."
"WHAT?" exploded the client, "You know we have to be at Logan Village by this afternoon! That's why we hired you and your friend as guides!"
"I Know, and we'll get you there but," started Max only to be interrupted by the client saying, "What time is it?"
"About 9:00," said Max checking her watch.
The client tried to calm down, "We have to be there by 2:00 at the latest. You and your friend have five hours to get us there or you don't get the rest of the money."
"What? But that's not fair!" Yelled Max in frustration.
"Too bad! Now can you get us there or not?" asked the extremely rude client.
"Well yeah if we hurry, but-"
"Alright fine. I'll inform my partner and we'll be ready to go in 30 minutes." Said the client, as he swept back into the tent. Max just stood there, frozen, in shock and frustration. "Well that was just rude! Even if we did oversleep!" She thought in anger.
She walked back to where Ash was rolling up his bedding, "So how'd they take it?" he asked. She gave him a look, "Let's put it this way, if they didn't still owe us money I might have my claws in one of them right now!" Max said as she made a face. Ash just started laughing, "I Take it not well then," He was still laughing when he had to duck to avoid the pillow Max threw at him for the second time that day. He finished packing while Max got up to get her pillow and rolled up the rest of her bedding. He put his backpack on his shoulders and strapped on his belt & sword. "Come on, they're not important enough to be ambushed, but we gotta be there on time to get the rest of our money so let's go! Hurry up woman!"
"Oh shut up, I'm coming! But they better watch it, I'm running out of patience for them." Max said irritably.
"Duly noted," said Ash, "Let's go!"
So with a sigh Max followed Ash to where the clients were waiting and they set off towards Logan Village.
