Unforeseen Circumstances: Alternate Reality 1
Well Here We Are Again. It's Always Such A Pleasure. Ok, so I got a review(s) form one or two of you saying that the first chapter didn't have much plot, I made Jason a bad***, etc. Well that much is true I DIDN'T have a plot for it. Maybe later on I will plan these out, but I will try to make up for the "no plot" issue (somewhat) in this chapter. This chapter should delve into what and how he feels after his life threatening injury(s). Both physical AND mental, (for the mental part) mainly on his guilt of taking some one's life. So if he seems a little unstable blame it on that. (I hope this satisfies you, Spindash77!) Now what was I forgetting…Oh yes! New characters will be entering the story! REJOICE! (Just kidding) Here is a question for some people; When Does the Narwhal Bacon? (Please tell me if you are a Redditor, 9gagger, or other. I just want to see which has more influence both on the site and reading my stories)
DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN PORTAL OR SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!
A mysterious figure is sitting at home when a bright orange flash appears form the woods behind its house. The figure gets up from its seat and puts the book it was reading down. 'Of course something just HAS to happen as I get to a good part.' The figure thinks, annoyed. As the figure walks out of its house it hears a faint moan from where the flash originated. The figure starts running 'someone's hurt! Got to help them!' is what runs through the figures mind as they rush over to the source of the noise. The figure looks into a clearing that wasn't there before and sees a vaguely humanoid figure lying there seeming ly dead. There! A faint rising and falling of the chest! The (1st) figure walks closer and sees that, from the body shape and clothes, (2nd) figure is male. Then Figure1 sees the blood. The slowly growing puddle of blood. Then they follow the blood trail to the giant and sort of deep gash that streaks across his chest. Figure1 pulls out some of the bandages they keep on them at all times and wraps them tight, but not so tight circulation and breathing is cut off, around and over the gash. The 1st figure picks up the male, injured one and carries him back to its house. The figure dresses up the injured one's injury better now that they are at the first figures house. It lays him down in one of the guest bedrooms. (s) He then steels him/herself for the waiting period to see if he (the injured one) makes it through. After a little while he/she decides to make a broth for the "guest" to "eat". This continues for several days until one day the mysterious figure (1st) picks up on something strange…
POV CHANGE!
As I woke up slowly, straight off the bat I noticed SOMETHING was wrong. "Ow." I mutter as I rub the bandages cove—'wait Bandages?' I look down and see in this order; Bandages, clothes, fur. Yes that's right FUR. I look over what I can see (I was still feeling too weak to sit up.) I had turned into an anthropomorphic malamute (don't know what that is? Look it up or think of a wolf sized husky) 'I'm pretty certain that I was a human…' I think to myself as I look around the room. Nice red curtains, beige colored walls, generic blanket. 'Must be a guest room.' I think as I hear footsteps coming from the hall. The footsteps stop in front of my door and I hear knocking. "Can I come in?" asks the sweetest, beautiful voice I have ever heard. (Yes, Jason CAN be sappy if he wants to be [or I make him :]) "Yes" I say.
"Here, I made you something to eat when I heard you stirring." Says a female anthropomorphic malamute as she enters the room carrying a bowl of some sort of soup. When she looks up, from keeping an eye on the soup so it doesn't spill, she starts when she makes eye contact. "What?" I ask
"I had no idea that's what your eyes looked like." She says as she walks over to the bed.
"What do they look like?" I ask "and while you're telling me can you help me sit up?" she just nods and helps me sit up. As I eat my soup (it is chicken-noodle) she describes my eyes. "They are a flaming orange with darker orange streaks splitting them into perfect quarters." She says "They also seem to be lit with a strange fire."
"Humph, interesting." I say as I finish my soup. 'They sound like my gem.' I think. I look up at her as she takes the bowl. She had the slightest questioning look in her eyes. "Hey, we never told each other our names." I say as she starts to leave. She rubs her neck sheepishly "Whoops. Heh, heh." She says "My name is Keyra."
"Keyra, eh? I like it." I say "Mine's Jason. Jason Kings."
"Oh? I like yours too." She replies before turning to leave.
"One more question." I say.
"Sure." She says smiling.
'Are you a telepath?' I think
"No" she replies and leaves quickly. 'Got ya. If someone wasn't they'd tell me to spit it out. But you answered, meaning you ARE.' I think with a smile as she leaves. I hear a BANG! on a wall close by. I just laugh. Then I think of my gem again. 'Where is it?' I think as I look around and see several objects on the table next to me. I recognize my iPod, flash-drive, gun, knife, crowbar (not really mine), but no gem. The last two objects are what look like a sword handle with two quarters of an orange gem on each side of it. The other is a wrist gauntlet with two more quarters of said gem. I strap on the gauntlet and pick up the sword. The gems start glowing and the gauntlet's start spinning REALLY fast, then two "blades" of energy come from each items gems (one "blade" for each) the sword looks like and orange energy sword from Halo, except orange instead of blue. The other is a shield of twin rotating "pointed" Yin-Yang thingies. I concentrate on the gems once I turn them off and they rise out of whatever was holding them in place and join together with a small orange flash and poof, my gem was there. I stare at it dumbly for a moment before concentrating again to split it and insert them back in the holders. I feel really weak after that, so I lay back down and fall asleep. (Since I have never killed someone, nor am I good at writing scary stories [but that's probably because I have never tried] I am going to do Keyra's thoughts on what has happened.)
Keyra's POV
I decided to do the same as Jason after sensing him fall asleep. 'I don't think he will sleep well because of those nightmares…' I think to myself as I get ready. How he knew I was a telepath I will never know, but I had to close off my mind from his, the nightmares were that intense. 'Is that what it's like to kill someone? All that guilt? I think I'll ask him in the morning…' I think. I set my alarm for early in the morning so that I have time to prepare for fixing Jason up. 'Jason, there's just something that draws me towards you. I don't thin-I KNOW it isn't love. But what is it?' those where my last thoughts before I fell asleep.
TIME SKIP AND POV CHANGE!
Jason's POV
It had been several days since Keyra found me out in the forest behind her house. The day after I woke up, she had asked me what killing someone felt like. I didn't have a definite answer, because all my killings were out of defense. I COULD tell her that extreme guilt came with killing a person. (Not that I would know :D) Since I had lost a LOT of blood, I had to stay in bed for most of the time. Although I DID move out of bed when I felt the strength. The first time I tried I was able to move a few steps before Keyra had to catch me. A few days later I was able to walk around the room more or less under my own power (had to use chairs and things to keep from falling over). I had also discovered my newest Eye Power. I call it Chaos Vision in honor of the Chaos Emeralds. You know how people describe aura and the Force? Think of it as SEEING that. So I can see people's emotions and their connections to other people and things. So today I was looking out of the window of Keyra's guest room and I saw a girl rabbit come walking up to Keyra's door. I switch to Chaos Vision and I notice that there are a lot of happy thoughts flowing around in her head, but buried under all that where Keyra can't see (that and she dislikes delving into peoples personal stuff.) it through telepathy, is a deep, DEEP sadness. I watch as Keyra opens the door and they enter. I go back to normal vision after that. 'Hmm, I think it is time to see what I have as an appropriate song for this. OH! Here's one!' I think to myself as I grab my iPod and look through it. "The Last Night" by Skillet. I turn it on, put it on full volume, and place it next to the door. It opens up with a piano.
Male: You come to me with scars on your wrist
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this.
Female: I just came to good bye, Didn't want you to see me cry I'm fine.
Male: But I know it's a lie…
This is the last night you'll spend alone, look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be.
The last night you'll spend alone, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go.
I'm everything you need me to be…
Your parents say everything is your fault.
But they don't know you like I know you, they don't know you at all
Female: I'm so sick of when they say, it's just a phase you'll be okay you're fine.
Male: But I know it's a lie.
This'll be the last you'll spend alone, look me in the eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be
The last night you spend alone, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go.
I'm everything you need me to be
The last night away from me…
The night is so long when everything's wrong
If you give me your hand I will help you hold on.
Tonight…
Tonight…
This is the last night you'll spend alone, look me in eyes so I know you know
I'm everywhere you want me to be.
The last night you'll spend alone, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go.
I'm everything you need me to be.
I won't let you say goodbye, and I'll be your reason why.
The last night away from me…
Away from me..
I had snuck part way down the stairs during the song and listened to their reactions. Both had broken down and wept at it. The bunny was doing it the most. I walk the rest of the way down. Until I stepped wrong and slipped. The only thing that saved me from hitting my head on the stairs was the hand rail. "Kid, hold out your arm." I say as I walk towards the bunny. She holds out her left one. "Your right arm" she reluctantly extends it. I pull back the sleeve and peel back some fur, and there (as I suspected) is several slowly bleeding claw marks. Keyra's eyes widen at this and I hear her muttering things about cleaning the wound and that the bunny shouldn't have covered them as she bustles about the room grabbing supplies. "Kid, even if your parents or whomever that has abused you says not to tell anyone or it will be worse, tell someone. A trusted person. They should be able to help with this kind of thing." (this goes for EVERYONE who has and is being abused that is reading this) I tell her. She continues to look down and nods. "Lucy. You don't have to be afraid of him." Says Keyra.
'So her name's Lucy…' "She's right you know. My name's Jason." I say with a smile and quite the opposite of how I was when I told her off. She gives me an unsure smile. "So where did that song come from?" asks Keyra as she bandages up Lucy's cuts.
"This" I say as I hold up my iPod "I also have a bunch of other songs."
"Oh?"
"Yep." I reply. I start playing "It Ends Tonight" by All American Rejects. I had split the thing by artists so when I put the AAR folder on "random" it plays random AAR songs. It starts "Move Along" as Keyra starts making dinner. I wink at Lucy as the song is playing. A few more songs are played until Keyra finishes with dinner. It was pancakes. (Don't tell me you have NEVER had breakfast food for dinner.) "Best pancakes ever." I tell Keyra. "You seem different. Where do you come from?" asks Lucy.
"Lucy…" says Keyra in an exasperated tone.
"No, no. It's okay, she's just curious." I tell Keyra before I turn to Lucy "Well, Keyra can explain how she found me, because I was unconscious at the time and all I remember was trying to rescue my friends who were taken hostage, getting shot, falling unconscious from blood loss, and then waking up in the guest room."
"Wait, you never told me that." Says Keyra
"I didn't? hmm…I'm sure I did…" I say as I shrug.
"Really?" asks Lucy with wide eyes.
"Really." I say sincerely. Lucy looks at the clock in Keyra's kitchen.
"Pooh, I have to leave. Bye Miss Keyra! Bye Mr. Jason!" says Lucy as she leaves. I look at Keyra.
"Cute kid." I say. She "mmm"s and nods. I help her with the cleaning up (something I would normally NOT do.) After that I take a shower. (Hey it has been almost two WEEKS since I last had one.) Then I went to bed. (I think I will try to give a dream…)
I see fire, lots of fire and I hear explosions and screams as innocents get caught in the explosions and fire. Then comes the blood…gallons of it. I watch helpless as Mobians are blasted by lasers, torn by bullets, and shredded by metal claws. One body stands out from the rest, the body of a child rabbit with her chest torn open. 'Lucy…NO!' I cry even though no one would hear. I look towards a large hill as the sun rises above it. A figure stands atop the hill. It looks like a hedgehog. As the sun moves across the hedgehog I see that "it" is a girl. She looks up and then blazing emerald eyes open as she jumps off the top and rushes down the hill. A sonic boom is heard as she rams into a wave of dog like robots that are attacking the town. As she strikes I watch as she's joined by a lynx, meerkat, another hedgehog, echidna, cat with wings, bee, crocodile, and chameleon. 'So there IS still hope…' I realize as the dream fades.
So how was THAT? If you are wondering if those are things to come, I WON'T TELL YOU. Because if I did, that would ruin the surprise wouldn't it? Yes I am giving away a few things in this chapter. Tell me in your review what you think they are. I will beg again. REVIEW PLEASE! *sobs* (it's the little blue button)
