Hello everyone! Nice to be in a new year, and nice to be back in fanfiction again! I did promise you guys this, so here it is. The sequel for GvERD. I decided to finally finish the this chapter after keeping it since the beginning of the year. This is just the start, so this chapter is going to feature one of the characters and how their life is going. It might not be so long, just like 1000 words.
As usual, this story might be long or short. It's rated T for violence, like the other two stories. I hope you enjoy the chapter!
...[Chapter 1: Alone]...
...January 2 2020...
As darkness began to fade, the red sky became visible, and was a very pleasant sight to see at the moment. The centre of the sky, which was previously know as the sun, released as much light as possible, its rays beaming down to the earth. Also pleasant, but dangerous, as it could blind anyone who stared directly at it. Darkness quickly took over again, and stayed for a few seconds, before a little light was let in.
A groan escaped from the victim of the beam of light, squinting her eyes. Her hand hovered over her face, giving her the chance to open her eyes and see the world clearly. Blurry images were what she saw at first, and she blinked until she saw clear images. The first one she saw was the faint paint on the cracked road, covered in rubble. And the road was the only thing she saw everyday.
Yes, she was sleeping on the ground, hugging herself as it was a bit cold. It was uncomfortable sleeping on a road, especially one covered in rubble, as she could feel the small stones under her body, some of them pointy, which made her feel pain on her side.
The girl used her hands to push herself up. She sat up straight, removing some stones which stuck to her body as they caused her side to ache.
She stood up from the ground, stretching her arms and letting them fall to her sides. She didn't feel clean, refreshed or happy. The girl wasn't even clean. Her appearance was a lot different from how she used to look. A beautiful young lady, who always wore a clean uniform to work, meeting her friends there and had all she needed in life. Now she was an unemployed lady, with no one by her side, wearing a worn out purple dress and walking in the empty streets with bare feet and ruffled feathers, which shown a brownish colour.
She was all on her own, with no idea of where she was.
And she was Margaret.
Margaret had been away from her friends for who knows how long, and had learned to fight her own fights and gather anything that may soon be of use. The only item she carried was a pocket knife. She had never used it to defend herself against attacks, since she was never attacked, but she used it when it came to hunting for food.
The robin picked her knife off of the ground, sighing as she did so. Forcing herself to get as far away as possible from Twin peaks to go to who knows where on a never ending road was not exactly fun. From where she was standing, ahead of her were three roads which went North, East and West, and each way would take her to the same environment she was in right now. She know it. It was like she was in a maze, and almost everywhere she turned, she only saw nothing but a dead end.
Even if everything was just unbearable at the time, one thing still made her smile on a few occasions.
She was still alive. That's why she was glad to see the sky when she woke up.
"Not everyone was this lucky to wake up every morning," Margaret thought, "even if they were, I'd still be where I am right now. I'd still be alone."
Even after a whole year, Margaret never got used to being alone.
She never tried to find her friends and rescue them. She never tried to find anyone to help her find a way to get everything back to normal. She didn't do anything that would make her life easier.
She didn't want to do any of that at all. She couldn't let anyone else get hurt. Why would you try to be a hero if you know you can't be? Why would you put yourself through all the pain to help the ones you love only to get more pain in return? Why would you risk your life for a friend just to be betrayed and killed by the same person?
It happened to Rigby. Margaret didn't want anything like it to happen again.
She couldn't put herself into that situation or any situation. Just look at what happened to Rigby, Winter, Viper and Kelly! All of them died.
She remembered Winter say that if Rigby ever died, TPS would fall apart just like the earth has. If that meant everyone who was supposed to be revived was going to die, then that meant she was never going to see her parents. She was never going to see her cousin...She was never going to see Eileen. So she could have just lost her family and friends.
She also lost Willow and Thomas. They got Margaret out of another situation by punishing themselves to let her go. How she cried that day. She had lost everything and everyone and she couldn't do anything about it.
Everytime these bad memories came, the robin always remembered how Willow always told her everything was going to be fine after tragedy struck. She wished everything would be fine. She wished for all that is good to be restored. She wished she had her friends and family back, but none of those wishes came true. They never have, so they never will. At least that's what she thought would happen.
All this time, Margaret stood in the same spot, staring blankly at the road. She just realized that when she came out of her thoughts. She hadn't moved an inch.
She knew she had to go. She didn't want to stay in one place too long. She didn't want any enemies to find her.
So she walked towards the East. The more turns she made the less chance any enemies could find her. They never found her, she felt a bit safer knowing no one ever tried to attack her or find her.
She walked calmly down the road, letting her guard down a bit. She was definitely not going to be attacked...
That thought was interrupted by what sounded like a twig snapping. She gasped, stopping in her tracks, turning to see what caused the sound. With the knife in a tight grip, she pointed it at the person.
"Oh my..."
Her eyes widened and she dropped her knife. She couldn't believe it.
She couldn't believe he was here...
...TO BE CONTINUED...
The first chapter done. I hope it was to your liking. It will take me time to make the second chapter, but I will make it.
Anything I need to fix or improve on, do tell me. I feel I still do need to improve.
