Chapter 2: Hey What's Your Name, What's Your Name, Oh I Really Wanna Know
So, its year one, two months into our travels from the near-death defining chase out from the castle to the Fairy King's Forest to where ever we are. You know in the stories like fanfiction, were they tell you that traveling with your favorite character is exciting, fun and full of 'fun'? (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Yeah...that's a lot of bull-fucking-shit. Oh sure, you're hanging out with someone that fangirls would love to kill for just to be in their presents. Well buckle up fuckers, cause I'm gonna tell you a little secret. It's not fun, it's not exciting and no! You do not have happy-go-lucky fun time!
Not that I was hoping for any of that. Ha, ha, ha... Hey I a fangirl, what are ya gonna do. Anyways, so I'm just walking on this-this empty, semi empty path leading far, far away from the forest. With Sir King flying half a foot away from me, gushing about Diana this and Diana that. Yeah...that gets kinda annoying after a while. But that's on me after asking about his teammates after all. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Oh well it could be worst right?
"Uuuuuuugh!" I screamed annoyed as stopped walking. I let myself fall to the ground with a wince. "Are we there yet?!"
I watched King jolt to a stop from flying and talking to look at me. "Echo?"
"No more please! I-I just-Gahhhhhh!" I cried from my spot, body all tensed up from something.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
I just shrugged, wanting to kick something, anything. Is this pent-up energy? It feels like it. The orange-brown haired fairy floated down to me with a tilt of his head and small frown. He gave a nod and reached down to grab my right foot and started to drag me off the rocky road. Or at least he was trying too. I giggled as he struggled to turn me towards the left where there was a handful of trees. Okay, okay so traveling with your favorite character has its good points. Like this for example because King has no upper body strength what so ever and it was fucking hilarious.
King let out a huff before pouting at me and tossing my foot away from his body. I let out an oof as it hit the ground. Ouch! Uh rude, jerk. He tossed me a smirk with which I kindly reply with my ring finger. Rolling his amber-brown eyes at me, he grabbed my right arm and pulled me up. I let out a sigh and did what he wanted without complaining. Boy better relies that it's because of us barely knowing each other is why I'm not being a brat. Then again friends do that right? Act like brats just to mess with each other? (Are we friends? It has been just two months now...) Oh whatever.
"Okay how about we call it a day," He looked up at the dimming sky through tree branches filled with newly green leaves. I looked over to him then at the direction he was staring at. "I mean we did walk a couple miles-"
"Walked?" I tilted my head trying to pretend that I was raising an eyebrow.
"Walked a couple miles!" He raised his voice over mine, ignoring me completely. Chastiefol floating and spinning lazily behind his back. "So, we should rest for the night. Echo go do something useful like collecting wood. I'll go find us something to eat. Okay? Let's go!"
I hissed at his quickly retreating body and went off to get some firewood. Ugh next time I'm throwing a rock at his head. A big rock, the biggest rock I can find at his head. I let out another sigh, knowing I wouldn't do that. I'm too soft to do that so I'll just kick him in the shins instead. Less likely for blood to be spilled. Oh, look twigs!
"Alright...How many should I bring back?" I asked myself softly.
Humming to myself, I walked around slowly collecting as much as I could. Then looked around when I heard some that sound like rushing water. Letting out a gasp I ran toward that sound. Water! It was a stream of rushing water just a foot or two away from where we were staying.
"Hah, guess I did something useful, huh King?" I gleefully asked out loud to myself. Walking close enough so I won't fall in, I took a look at my reflection with a frown. "Huh...The laws of Anime physics."
The water reflecting, as best as it could with fast running water, was weird but at the same time...it wasn't. I mean, my brown hair wasn't in it usually braid but in a tight low bun after not bathing in a week. (Ugh hate my life) Bangs cupping my face messily, small strand of hair sticking out but not once did it look greasy. My brown eyes looked bigger and maybe a bit rounder behind my almost square like, black glasses. They also lack the small bags under them from the semi lack of sleep because my reading habits. I did have my beauty marks though; one inches below my left eyebrow, near my nose and one inches away from my right eye, almost on my nose.
"Meh." I said with little feeling.
My face was a bit red at the cheeks due to being under the sun (well no duh) and walking for miles (again, no duh). Plus, I am wearing a black hoodie (it had Jack Skellington on it with the Oogie Boogie gang in the back ground). There's also a brown turtle neck, long sleeve underneath as well as my jeans and snow boots. So, there's that. I need new clothes, it's been months wearing the same thing. Yuck... Hmm I wonder if King would help me find a way to get some new clothing.
"Jerk face got himself some new rags." I pouted get away from the water.
Never mind, I'm going to punch him now.
Walking back, I continue to collect more twigs. Trying hard not to stumble about when I over did it and couldn't see over the bunch of wood. Bumbling about, trying to look on each side of my filled arms I learned that I was the first one to make it back to 'camp'. Hmmm okay! Dumping my load without a care, I happily sat down and took out my cellphone. Two months and it still has a fully charged battery. Huh how's that for anime physics?
Scooting until my back touched the tree, I started to browse through my YouTube app. Might listen to something as I wait, right? Because I so don't know how to start a fire and even if I did, I don't know how to do it safely. Unless I want to chance it. I looked over at the pile, then the grassy floor and shook my head. Nope! Not a chance!
"What song is that? It sounds kinda creepy."
I jolted up with a scream at the voice of my traveling partner in my ear. I flinched slightly to look up to see his face next to mine. I gave him a 'what the heck' looked that he just smirked at before pointing at my cellphone's screen. On it was a red-haired girl with a bloody sword pointing forward, flame dancing around her, licking at her black dress. I tilt my head to listen carefully to the song and shrugged. It wasn't creepy, the song.
"Nightcore verion of This Little Girl." I mumbled. "Not creepy."
"How is it not creepy? It talks about a girl stalking a guy and sounding like she going to kill him!" He gestured with his hands, confusion written all over his face.
"She's not really going to kill him. It more of how she was being cheated on and she going to make him pay for it. She wants him to regret ever doing that to her as she makes his life miserable." I said with a shrug. "Or at least that's how I see it."
Then it just hit me.
It was darker then before and a fire was just a few steps away from us. Huh I guess I knocked out or something?
"How," The Fairy King asked, hands thrown in the air stupefied. "Is that not creepy?!"
I ignored the older male to rub the sleep out of my eyes with a yawn. "There's a river behind the trees. A foot or two, maybe three. I don't know...don't remember."
He let out a growl as I crawled closer to the fire and lay down before it. I let out a happy sigh as I let the heat wash over me. Man does that feel nice. King let out a pouty huff and flopped next to me with his pillow in his arms. I looked at him from the corner of my eyes and giggled. He looked like a child with that puppy-dog pout.
"Echo, whyyyy?" He whined before giving up on me paying attention to him. I smiled as I continue to browse my app. "Ugh...I brought food. Like a lot, for now and morning."
"Hm."
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"Are you?"
"I asked you first." He sounded annoyed.
"I asked you second." I was having fun with this.
"Echo!"
So much fun. "That's my name. Don't wear it out."
He turns towards me, one hand under his head as a head stand and the other on his hip. His young face completely serious. "But that's not your real name is it Echo? I'm not stupid like some people to actually believe that. After all, who names their child Echo Stalker? What's your real name?"
I refuse to look away from my phone. It's not like I can tell him that he's a fictional character from where I came from. How he's part of a story that makes him one of the main characters that have to save the world from a Holy War, Demons and fuck-up in the head Angels. How I know who he is, thanks to the anime series on Netflix and looking up spoilers on the internet. Oh my go-I mean Loki, his wings! Wait no time to gush about it.
"Echo...what's your name?" He asked softly, amber eyes glowing in the light of the fire. "Please...I really wanna know."
I looked at him, mouth slightly open and thumb pressing itself on the phone screen.
What's your name? What's your name?
Oh, I really wanna know
You got me goin' crazy
And I want you more and more
Oh, hey, this could be somethin' real
I've gotta let you know the way I feel
What's your name? What's your name?
Oh, I really wanna know
'Cause every time I get there
But it's right before you go
Oh, hey, if only you could see
I wanna get to know you
And to get you knowin' me
King looked at me, frozen completely, dead in the eye. Looking back at him trying not to burst out laughing, I picked up the volume to my phone. Blasting the song into the quiet night air. My body started to shake from the repressed laughter as a grin try to take over my face. Oh my god his face you should see it. He looks so done with me.
"Echo!" He screamed, quickly pulling himself into a seating position and started to hit me with his pillow. "What the heck!? Why?!"
I just crackled in delight as I try to protect myself from his vicious attack. "I win!"
"Why would you-you little-Ugh! I hate you!"
"No you don't!" I screeched as another crackled escaped my throat.
He hit me one more time and flopped back to the floor. I watched with amusement as he huffed and turned his back toward me. Snickering, I got up and walked to a pile of orange shape fruit that looked blue. Grabbing two, I walked back to my pouty friend (He's my friend, right?) and toss one at him. Retaking my spot next to him, I watched as he gasped and fumbled to catch it. Oh man, King you crack me up.
"Awe you pouting big baby booboo?" I cooed at him with a big grin.
He bared his teeth at me with a hiss (was his teeth just sharp right now? Nah, just trick of the light) that surprise me before curling up to munch on his weird fruit. He kinda looked like a little squirrel like that.
"Don't ever call me that again." He scrunched his nose up in disgust. "Who calls some one that?"
"Me." I answered with a giggle. (And Hiccup from HTTYD, not that you need to know)
Taking a bite out of the blue fruit in my hand, I turned so my back could face the tree and I was facing the open fire. How nice and calming was this? Wiggling around for a bit, I quickly looked for a song in my pone and played it. A soft female voice filled the air making my fairy companion look at me with a curious look. I smiled at his food filled chipmunk cheeks, with a soft blue juice that clung to the corners of his face and dripped down his chin.
I tilt my head back, closing my eyes to enjoy the beautiful music that played around us. "There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes. In a happy home, I was a king I had a golden throne. Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall. I hear the sounds from the places where I was born."
I felt air become warmer as the orange-brown hair boy scooted closer to me. I felt him lay his head against my shoulder. He must want to get closer to listen to the song as I sang along. After all, it's been years since I had a singing class to help me with my vocal tone. I've been told that I had a good voice but still, without a voice warm-up exercise a soprano\alto can sound a bit off.
"Up on the hill across the blue lake. That's where I had my first heart break. I still remember how it all changed. My father said; 'Don't you worry, don't you worry child. See heaven's got a plan for you. Don't you worry, don't you worry now, yeah.'" King sang along with me, causing me to tense up and look at him in surprise.
"Oh..." I whispered softly to myself. "Nice tenor vocals."
I stayed quiet as he continues to sing along, just wanting to hear how his voice entwined with the female voice perfectly. Almost as if the song was meant for him. He sang as if it was a voice switched song, Man how did he do that? A song that he never heard before and then this. I could never dream to match a song so perfectly like him. Shaking my head in amazement, I tilt my head back again and looked up to the sky through the tree.
Wow...I never seen so many stars. I let out a sigh of content and lend back on my left hand slightly, just enough to not disturber King. This was one of the nicest things I found out about traveling since I came to this world. Stars shine so brightly in the night. The air so fresh that it stung my lung just a bit in a good way that I didn't have to worry about my asthma. I love it here...
Sure, I miss home, my family and modern technology...but this...this felt right. I didn't have to worry about pollution in the air messing with my lungs, no bills to pay just yet or having to plan for the future. Well, I mean yeah you need to pay for some bills like taxes in villages if you choose to live in one. But ignoring that for this right now, everything seems...good. Not great but good. After all, I need money for new clothes and a bath.
"Hey King?" I nudged him to get his attention.
"Hm?"
"I need new clothes...I feel gross wearing the same thing over and over two months straight."
"Oh! Why didn't you say so earlier? I got you some right here!" He exclaimed scrambling to reach the bag he brought along with him. He pulled out a bundle of blue and black cloth and tossed it at my head. "I found some as I was looking for some new clothes for myself. You seem pretty small-like petite kinda small. Oh! Here they are! Really Echo, speak up girl."
I twitched as I pulled the items away from my face. Looking at it in an apathetic manner, I notice that there was underwear and a sport bra kinda looking bra as well. They were pink. My right eye twitches again. Taking a deep breath and pressing my lips together, I absently search the ground next to me. Feeling something almost the size of my palm, I quickly snatched it up. Then as quick as a deadly snake, I flicked it straight to his head.
Ping
"GAH!"
Ah! Ssstttrrrrrike!
