19:37, Friday.
The day had started just like anyother, no change what'so over.
Except maybe for the slight change on her lunch and the fact that she had an unusual appetite for dinner, one that she usually skips.
So maybe she should blame (or maybe thank) her appetite for what happened next later. The things food makes her do.
' "che" should have given it a rest, now how to get out of here unscatched hmm?' she skimmed blindly for any reliable crevix with her foot and fingers, pushing to test their durability. 'man, i feel like spiderman-
...with the exception of his stickiness of course, though I could really have some help with that here.
She can't decide if its the thrill or nervousness that's making her pulse race, breathing feeling laboured and black spots that are blinding her already disturbing vision--'that's blood loss...shit' her footing slipped at the sight of the huge gash splayed across the lenght of her abdomen, she frantically fumbeled around to get her footing right but the lack of light only made it more difficult, her sore fingers had long gone numb and the loss of balance have started to strain them more now.
Suddenly the hard surface under her slim digits strained, then a resounding crack sounded followed by a starteled screech.
'shitShiTSHItGOdDamMiT!' she flailled around mid air fruitlessly to get ahold of something, anYThiNG, then with a thundering splash she met the water, the sharp edged rocks cut through her as if her skin's made up of ricepaper, it's jagged ends lodged themselves between her bones with a wet squelch, scraping the surface and back with a mighty push from the current, leaving behind thick loose folds of skin.
'Its no use' she thought somewhat hysterically, she already used up her meager amount of energy up there for who knows how long and though not that deep, the river was still known for its strong current and sharp yet slippery rocks and their hazardous slopes.
It still didn't stop her from scrambling through her mind for using up the 500rupees she spent on swiming lessons. She finally withdrew her firm hold on her breath after her lungs started burning uncontrollably, only to choke on the brutal onslaught of water through her nose, ears and down to her throat, her vision grew hazy and she felt lightheaded while the wounds lessened from a burning sting to a disturbing numbness but she couldn't find in herself to care about those right now-
'ah, goldy's going to starve to death'
-were her last thoughts before unexpectedly strong bands wound up through her midsection and pushed them up, she ignored the 'strAnGeRDanGEr' alarmed whisper, for now.She took in big gulps of the-swEeTSwEEt-air, her sight was still blurry, so she rubbed them with her stub-stuBBy!?-by hands, she felt-veRy- disorganised yet uttery calm -!?- her nose felt blocked and-
"Thank god" she swallowed a starlted gasp as she was heaved up and into an equally wet but warm embrance, she wiggeled around the-sTRanGer!- unfamiliar arms but they only tightened, she stopped abruptly when she felt 'him?' shudder 'was he that frightened to see a drowning woman? I must be a pretty sight with all that scrathes and gas-' "The gash!" she choked at the squeky voice -WHat- the man stiffened under her then pulled her -!?- up like the monkey does to simba in the lion king and turned her -hey!- this way and that way then started patting her out for injuries.
She strained her eyes to look him up and choked by having to subdue her gasp -CoSplay!- but she couldn't deny the origionality , 'he looks exactly like him, after all no make up would last after going through-thAt!- a dip from where I fell' she resoned herself. '-annnd doesn't he look animefied!? I must be dead, yes that must be i- " You seem fine" even his voice seem the same she thought hysterically.
He heaved out a heavy sigh and hugged -her!?- her close then stood up, she vehemently ignored the throbing head ache she's having from the moment she broke from the water surface -GoAwaY- "Let's get you home, little one" 'little-?' she just sighed and leant her head on his sturdy shoulder blades and finnally let sleep's -heAvENlY- arms embrace her, she wasn't stupid, nor was she a coward. And hell if she would turn into one now.
No matter the sheer incrudelity.
She, a 23 year old, seem to have turned into a child of who knows what and is being held by one of the antagonist of the khr anime. She knows she isn't seeing things, after all the one thing she prided herself was for her impeccable memory when the situation called for it.
Later she would grieve for her non existent life back on her world. But that would be later.
I'm aware that it was too short but the chapters would be longer .
And yes, the currency was written that way intentionally.
