'Ow, that hurt.' I thought rubbing my back and stretching as I look around the scene. It appears that I am in a dense forest in a middle of nowhere. The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, nothing seemed suspicious at all.
'Where am I?' I thought. By now, you guys would be asking yourself: 'How in the world did he get here?' Well, time to take a step back and see how I got in this stupid mess. Hopefully, I don't get myself stuck in this new world, universe, and galaxy, whatever. I just want to get home and rest on my beautiful bed back home and see my family and friends again.
Skip back about 30 seconds ago…
Where are my manners? I should properly introduce myself after all. My name is Piolo Santos, heir to the throne of Kingsbury and ruler of the kingdom "Generosity" and without a doubt, crazy in the minds of the people.
*Smack*
Alright, alright I get it. Sheesh, people can't take a joke. Blasted made up people who do stuff in my head. Anyways, my name is Piolo Santos, regular teenager on the planet Earth and a kind, gentle, conscious, crazy-in-a-way person. By now, I should be 14 years old with quite an eccentric family besides it. Anyways, on to the story, I just finished some work my high school assigned to me with ease as I relaxed in my favourite spinning chair in the loft. Many people believe that Asians are always smart in everything they do but I beg to differ. Hey, I get straight A's most of the time and many peg me as a smart person but I tend to ignore it.
I was just searching the web out of curiosity since I was so bored! I read all my books 10 times over and a think that I might be killing my eyesight right now but hey, that is beside the point. I was just typing up some random stuff that popped in my head and the internet keeps on giving. You get to see a lot of weird stuff on the internet if left unchecked. When I was just about to search up "cosmic surfer garbage" a weird pop-up popped up on my screen, blackening the background showing only the notifications.
'That's weird," I thought confusingly. 'I thought that my virus protection blocked stuff like this.' I continued staring strangely at the notifications thinking it was a virus that somehow got through my defenses or that it was a "git" sent by someone I know. I mean, it says "Would you like to enter the cookie matrix?" I gave a small chuckle every once in a while as I try to piece together the stupidity of this thing. Against my free will, I dragged my mouse-in-hand to the notification and clicked "yes".
Everything was a whirlwind after that as the message then said: "Well done. You are ready to go into the world?" I only had a chance to raise my eyebrow at this as my laptop started shacking and bright light began glowing like a lighthouse pointed at me. I only had the chance to grab my blue Connecticut hat and my busted up silver glasses case before my laptop decided to, what it feels like, ripping my body cell by cell. Everything caved into darkness after that.
After what felt like eternity, I opened my eyes to see bright colourful lights surrounding me, a melody playing in the background calming as the ocean.
"Am I in heaven?" I thought briefly deciding to accept my fate as a digitized floating human corpse floating across heaven's internet or internet's heaven.
*Crash* *Splat*
"Ow?" I muttered weirdly as I rubbed my back from the crash. And that's is how I ended up in whatever this place is.
After telling my story in the audience, I decided to take a look around this forest as my curiosity decided to roam which is against my better judgement.
Great, where in the world are we? Asked a voice in my head.
'No idea, Curiosity. I think we may not be in Barrie anymore.' I thought back to my Curiosity. I forgot to mention this before, remember when I was telling you guys that I am crazy in the minds to the people. Well, that may be true but let's keep this a secret between us, okay? I'll give you guys a wonderful treat of your liking if you didn't tell anyone. Anyways, when I am in social silence, I apparently created people in my head in matching perspective to the moods and attributes of the human. Such as Curiosity, a man the same size as myself with the only difference being dressed as an explorer and blue rimmed eyeglasses.
No sh*t, Sherlock! We weren't surrounded by forestry back home! Now hurry up and keep walking, you moron! Maybe we can find some homes to crash into. A loud and mad voice echoed in my head. That was my, more or less, angry dude that causes arguments all over the place. If you haven't guessed it, his name is Anger, dressed up with red-rimmed eyeglasses and a punk looking get-up.
'Ugh, you're wish is my command my dear friend.' I continued trekking around the forest wondering where I am and if my family was worried about me until I heard a loud growl coming from right behind me.
"Something tells me that wasn't my stomach, isn't it?" I thought out loud.
Crap.
This is not going to end well isn't it?
I turned around to come face to face with a hulking black wolf/man hybrid with some type of mask made out of bone I think accessorized with red markings under the eye holes. The same bestial growl came out of that ungodly mouth but with more menace and a starving undertone.
"Nice doggy." I said calmly on the inside with my hands up to my chest as a sign of peace while slowly backing away from this weird beast. With every step, my inner selves were running amuck, myself included, trying to think a way to escape from this thing. Is it a bad thing that this animal was continuing to step forward step by step?
'Any ideas will be helpful, y'know!' I thought angrily and rushing them as I am running out of options here.
I have an idea Piped up in my head.
'Good, spit it out now please, Prankster!' I mentally yelled at the orange figure.
I think that we are in agreement that we should all,
"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Everyone inside of me yelled, myself as well, as we dashed into the forest like our lives dependant on it. I did NOT want to be a Piolo kabobe.
Loud music began blaring in my head as it motivated me to run faster into somewhere to escape this wolf thing from not eating me. Tree branches became twigs, leaves became mulch, and bushes became bushes as I tried to evade the monster from eating my insides. I would like to keep my organs, thank you very much!
'Any ideas up there!' As I darted away from a claw swipe to my behind and continued running with more urgency.
Nope. It seems that the creature is a sub species of some type of wolf like family possibly like a coyote. Maybe if we can get some slabs of meat-
We're the meat, you idiot! We'll be ground beef if we don't do something fast!
As I tried to reason with my counterparts in my mind I smashed right into a tree that I couldn't focus on due to my inner conundrums. I merely rested on the tree bark on my back as I winced at the pain and the growling black creature slowly walking towards me. Knowing that the hunt is over and that the prey can do nothing to save his hide.
'So this is how it ends, huh? Who knew we wouldn't last that very long in this new continent whatever." I closed my eyes as the creature's jaw was near inches to my exposed throat.
A loud crack rang off from nowhere and that wolf thing whined and fell on my lap. I opened my eyes as luck seems to have taken my side and spared my life.
"Are you okay?" Cried out a young voice in the distance. I only had time to see red rose petals falling on the ground as I fell unconscious right there on the tree.
Dreams are dreams but they sometimes foretell the future. That's what I heard before somewhere in a book or article but I can't remember. Why I am remembering this at this time is a mystery to me. The darkness is calming but I want to take a glimpse in the world.
I woke up, startled that I light thump hit my legs as I took a glance at the cause of this. A young black-haired girl, probably no older than 14 years old, was lying on my legs, sleeping heavily and obliviously to what's happening.
"It seems that you are awake young man." A deep voice came from the hospital door. I think it was a hospital, anyway.
"It's good that you're alive. My niece was worried sick about your health, thinking that you will never wake up." I summoned all my strength to turn my head and look at the bearer of the voice.
An old man, somewhere around 40-50 years old, was standing there proudly as if he was there with a purpose. I saw something on his waist like an oversized cassette tape strapped to his belt but I have a feeling it is much more than that.
"Tell me, young man, hat is your name?" He asked calmly and supportively. Almost like he done this before but I didn't mind. I swear I've seen him before from somewhere but I couldn't put my finger on it. Same with the girl to. I wonder why though.
"My name is Piolo Santos, sir." I answered respectfully.
The man chuckled at my reply. "Please, enough with the formalities. We don't need them here. My name is Qrow, Professor at Signal Academy and that is my niece, Ruby Rose. Welcome to Signal Academy, Piolo Santos."
