Against All Odds:1

INSIDE OUT

Her days now consisted of the guardian teaching her a new move or tactic which she would practice while he was away at work.  She would cook a meal, payment for his hospitality, and when he got home she would go to the local strip joint, and look for a job, either working at the place, or giving private performances for people. 

            A month had passed before she felt a week go by.  Just as this was catching up with her one quiet night when she had decided to stay inside, the guardian sitting on the coach was also contemplating what life had throne at him.

            So, I have had some serious misfortune.  I had two lovers.  One left at the beginning of the Daemon War.  I can't blame her.  She was scared, so was I, but she didn't have to be a part of what was going to happen.  The other, well…I understand her reason for leaving more and more every day.  And yet it makes no sense.  No, it does, she didn't trust me.  How could she think I would break my promise?  How could she think I had died.  Just because of a little explosion she thinks I'm dead!  I can't blame her.  No I don't blame her for thinking I was dead, just for moving on as if I didn't exist, and then when I finally find her after months of searching, she won't take me back.  Now she had Rune.  Oh wonderful Rune. Oh he's head of gaming in the new academy, how wonderful.  But what about my web beauty who saved me?  The girl who brought me back to reality after I thought I was gone forever?  She never contacted me again after the war.  I almost hate her for that.  I can't blame Dot, she did what I would have wanted her to do if I died, move on.  But my true lover, she abandoned me when I needed someone the most. "OH User!"  I guess I can't say that anymore.

            Sira looked up with a start at his exclamation.  She hadn't been expecting his outburst.

"What" he asked as he looked at her stunned face.

"Nothing, nothing"  she answerd innocently.

"No, I want to know"

"Nothing, you just startled me with your "Oh User!"  is all" 

"Oh, I said that out loud?  I didn't think I had.  Sorry"

"What ever, I don't care"

            She slowly subsided back into her thoughts of the past month.

            Well, I don't think he has a clue as to who I am, and it's probably better that way.  I hate who I have become.  Why did I choose slut as a profession.  I had to make something of my self before I saw him huh; well I think he thought more of me before than he does now. I mean why else would he hide me from his friends, always making sure I'm not around when they come over?  At least I'm still a virgin.  I lose business that way, but for those who will settle for a blow job or something, they don't mind, and they are usually better people anyway. Maybe with all the training Bob has been giving me I will become something respectable.  Someday; I always thought of finally being near him as someday, I guess someday is harder to find than I thought, or farther away than I figured.  At any rate, I haven't reached it yet. 

            Suddenly there was a knock on the door followed by a rough "Hey Bob, It's Matrix, I need a place to stay.  AndrAIa and I got into a little fight and she kicked me out again.

'This should be interesting' Sira thought.
