Thanks for the review, evolution-500. It really got me thinking, and you did have some good points that made me change up the future chapters. So, thanks!
"Ungh... Sam, where are we?" A voice said.
I turned around to see a conscious Carly standing up from the ground and I sighed not knowing how to explain it. "Do you want the blunt answer or the soothing answer?"
"Blunt answer. I'm not a baby." She said, looking at me.
"Alright, if you think you can handle it." I said, glancing at her. She nodded and I let out a deep breath, "Well, we're basically inside of Resident Evil 5 and don't really know where we are, and don't know how we're going to get back home, and also don't know if we even CAN go home."
It took a moment for her to process this then she suddenly screamed a very loud "WHAT?!" that caused me to wince.
Damn, that girl can scream when she wants to.
"Carly? Hon?" I said, looking at her. "Do you think you could keep it down please?"
She didn't respond and looked like she didn't know wether to freak out or jump for joy. So she did an odd mix of both. "Oh my god we're in the game! Whoo- shit! This is terrible! What do we do? Oh man, are we gonna meet Chris and Sheva?! I can't wait!"
I sighed and walked up to her then quickly struck my hand against her cheek, making her jump back. "Chill the fuck out, woman! It's going to be okay!"
"Ow! That really HURT!" She said, fake tears springing into her eyes.
"Yeah, you of all people should know that the waterworks don't work on me." I said, making a poker face.
She sighed in defeat then poked me. "Come on. Let's get going."
I nodded and started walking in the direction of where Chris and Sheva were at. I saw the Executioner on the ground and stared at his body, then suddenly felt someone tap my shoulder. I spun around expecting it to be Carly but instead I saw a tall muscular man who basically towered over me. And that man was none other than the legendary Chris Redfield. Of course, it took me a moment to process this, but when I finally realized who it was...
I ran away. Yes, I just ran away from the most epic and badass character of all time. But what would you expect me to do?! I mean, being sucked into a video game might be great and all but it's still quite a shock.
"Hey, wait! Come back!" He said, but I didn't stop.
I could hear his footsteps pounding on the ground and I ended up hiding in the bus, which to be completely honest, wasn't a great hiding spot because Chris managed to find me.
"Hey... why did you run away from me?"
I just stared at him, both awestruck and speechless.
"Can you talk?" He asked, looking slightly worried.
"Of course I can talk! I'm not mute." I said, barely getting the words out.
He nodded and held out his hand to help me up and I stared at it for a moment before hesitantly taking it.
Goddamn this guy's hand was huge.
He pulled me up, and I knew that if he had pulled me up with all his strength that he would most likely end up tossing me through the bus and I would land pretty far. I walked out of the bus and looked at him to find that he was staring at me and I got a little flustered.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Did I do something wrong?" Then I remembered that I had run away from him and I laughed nervously. "Oh, right. Uh... sorry about running away from you."
"It's alright." He said. "So, what's your name?"
Wow. Straight to the point, eh? Whatever. "Um... My name's Samantha. But just call me Sam, 'kay?"
He nodded and replied, "I'm Chris Redfield, but Chris is fine. Now-"
Before he could continue he was cut off by Carly yelling, "Sam! Thank god you're okay!" and then tackling me to the ground.
"Ow! Carly, get off of me, woman!"
She quickly scrambled off of me and helped me up, talking a million miles an hour. "Oh, my god are you okay? I'm so sorry but was sooooo worried! I thought you had gotten kidnapped or killed or some-"
She then stopped when she noticed Chris staring at her is surprise and confusion then a grin spread across her face.
"Well, hi!" She said, grinning like an idiot.
"Um... hi?" Chris looked at her curiously. "If you don't mind my asking... who are you?"
"I'm Carly Baker, this here is Samantha-"
"He already knows who I am, Carly." I mumbled.
"Oh, okay."
"I'm Chris Redfield." Chris said.
"Yes, yes. Can we please move on, I really don't want to stay here." I said, standing up.
"Why are you here?" Chris asked while walking.
"I don't know! I just... woke up here." I said, then looked at Carly. "We both did."
He looked at us suspiciously but shrugged it off. "You here alone?"
"Yeah." Carly said.
"Where are your parents?"
"Damn it, what is UP with all these questions, man?" I blurted out. "What're you, a cop?"
I knew exactly what Chris was but come on man. This was getting annoying.
"Well, um..." He trailed off for a moment and looked almost relieved when Sheva found us.
"There you are, Chris." She looked at Carly and I then looked back at Chris in confusion. "Who are they?"
"This is Carly and Sam." Chris said, gesturing to us.
Carly quickly waved and I just shifted from foot to foot feeling really awkward. I stared at Carly wondering how in the hell she could stay so calm.
I am so, so sorry for cutting off the chapter like that! It was originally supposed to have Mr Chainsaw in it but this chapter got waaaaaay too long. Also, apologies for the boringness, it'll get exciting soon! Stick around and review! They always help.
