Hi everyone =) I'm back with another chapter I hope you all will enjoy!
Chapter 2: Help
I heard voices. Voices that at first I didn't recognize.
"Is she hurt?" A girl's voice asked, she sounded young. Maybe 9 or 10 but who knows, I wasn't good with ages.
"I don't know." A boy's voice replied, he sounded around 11 or 12.
"That was some hard landing." Another girl voice stated, again, around 11 or 12. Where was I? A playground? I finally found enough strength to open my eyes, my vision was blurry so it didn't really help.
"Look, she's waking up!" A scratchy voice asked, I groaned and mumbled a curse, holding my head. The voices sounded slightly familiar, I had heard them from somewhere before...but where? I felt a few pair of arms help me sit up, but I waved a hand at them.
"No touchy." I grumbled, finishing to sit up on my own. I blinked a few times to get my vision straight and when it finally came to, I felt I was better off knocked out. Standing in front of me, was a red haired boy, a dark skinned girl with black hair, and a short girl with square glasses and short brown hair. But the thing that really freaked me out, was seeing a blue bird thing. I forced words to come out of my mouth but nothing did, instead, something else came out. A nice, long, scream. All four covered their ears, for my scream was very high pitched and could defiantly hurt someones hearing. After a few long moments rolled by I finally lost breath and stopped screaming. The red haired kid was the first to uncover his ears, slowly first so he could check if it was safe.
"Yikes, what was that for?" He asked me, I didn't answer. I just scurried to stand on my feet, I could actually feel the color from my face drain. The bird took a step forward towards me in order to calm me, but I just stumbled back to stay away and tripped, landing on my ass.
"Stay away from me you freak!" I shouted pointing an accusing finger, my voice was raised louder than I really wanted it to, but at this moment in time, I didn't care at all. I could be slipping out a couple of good swear words without really giving a shit at the moment. The bird froze in it's spot for a few brief moments before retreating back to it's spot near it's friends.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." It apologized to me, from it's voice I was assuming it was male. I finally made it back to my feet again and stared at the four, this wasn't happening, it couldn't be happening...I wiped the sweat from my forehead and took in a deep breath.
"Uh, I'm Digit, Digit Le'boid." The bird introduced himself, but staying a good distance from me. He scanned his friends nervously as if asking for help, the dark skinned girl was the next to clear her throat.
"And, I'm Jackie Edwards." She introduced as well, I could now feel my breathing starting to slow down slightly. The red haired boy then introduced himself as Matthew Williams, but he told me to call him Matt. Then the Hispanic girl introduced herself as Inez Garcia, and she specifically told me not to call her 'Nezzie'. I looked them over with quick eyes before trying to find my words to reply.
"I...I'm...uh..." I couldn't speak, as hard as I tried I just couldn't. I had to collect my thoughts, how was I gonna get any answers if I couldn't even say anything? I took in a deep breath.
"My name's Molly...Molly Brown." I finally spoke, was it safe to tell them my name? Who knows. The red head, Matt, smiled, probably because I was finally saying something other than a shout.
"I hope you know why you're here." A voice spoke, I recognized it, Motherboard. I looked up to see her on a giant screen and I couldn't help but get a paranoid feeling, where would she send me this time?
"No, I have no idea. You weren't very clear the first time we, well...'met'." I explained to her, trying to keep my anger under control. This had to be a dream, it just had to be.
"Perhaps I can explain now." I stopped her there.
"No, forget explaining, I don't wanna know why I'm here cause I'm not helping anyways. I just wanna go home." I replied angrily and sternly, yet I tried keeping my volume at a reasonable level as I crossed my arms over my chest. I know I sounded like a complete bitch by why did I have to deal with this crap? I mean, really.
"Are you really sure she's the one that can 'save all of Cyberspace' as you put it? Cause...it doesn't really seem like it" I heard Jackie, 'whisper' to Digit, I quickly turned to them on my heels in time to see Digit give a shrug. My brows burrowed as I released my arms so that I could clench my fists.
"You said that as if I'm not even here." I informed her rudely, both her and Digit shrunk back at this.
"Please Molly *Fuzz* words cannot describe *Fuzz* how much Cyberspace needs your help." Motherboard told me, I turned to look at her, this was absolutely nuts.
"But why me? I don't understand. What can 'I' do to help?" I asked sinking into one hip and resting my hand on it, a totally bitch pose.
"It is said that-" Then she fuzzed and didn't come back, I raised an eyebrow while of the rest of the kids excluding Digit started spazzing out.
"Don't worry, it's just Motherboard's virus kicking in." Digit said, flying towards the control pad and typing a few things in. "She should be back soon." He added, I groaned.
"Great, now I'm stuck babysitting until the floating computer head comes back." I said mostly to myself in a mumble, placing a hand on my face and rubbing my temples which made my glasses push up slightly. This was perfect, just perfect.
"I'm stuck in 'this' place without even 'knowing' why I'm stuck!" I shouted, straightening my glasses and pulling down my shirt with a grunt.
"According to Motherboard, she said you were the one who could help all of Cyberspace." Inez infromed me, she sounded a lot smarter and older than she looked.
"Thank you Ms. Obvious." I thanked her sarcastically. "But HOW is my question." I asked her, putting emphasis on 'how' because I hadn't figured that out. That was my only question and even that hadn't been answered.
"Motherboard didn't really tell us. All she told us was something about you knowing something to do with codes." Matt explained, for some reason I thought he was telling the truth.
"Well I can tell you already, that you've got the wrong person." I told them, that I was sure of. But before anyone could reply, a loud alarm rang through the room. I cringed and quickly covered my ears. But I also heard Motherboard's voice mixed with the ear blasting alarm, I could barely make out what she was saying.
"Hacker Alert! Hacker Alert!"
Well, I hope you all enjoyed! Stick around for the next chapter, and don't be afraid to review.
