Everything is Beautiful
A Samurai Jack fanfic by SJO
(Note: I don't own "Samurai Jack." And even though there's a character in here named Jill, it's not going to be like Samurai Jill in "Jack and Jill," nor is it going to be like "Blind Prophetess." I'm hoping, once again, that this will be completely different.)
Chapter 1: The Monster
She ran through the valley, though she wasn't sure why. She was frightened, tired, and alone. For two days she had been running from something. What could it be? Why was she running, so far away from home?
All she could think about was the terrible event from a couple of days ago. A monster she had only seen in her dreams appeared in her small village. "Heed my proclamation!" the monster declared. "From this day forth, this town will be cut off from the second trade route."
She couldn't understand what this meant, but her father didn't like it. He came boldly to face the monster. "You can't do that!" he yelled.
"No one tells me what I can and cannot do."
"Well, I am! That trade route is our only source of income with anywhere else! We need that trade route!"
Meanwhile, she was filled with great fear. The monster had her scared silly. She bawled into her mother's apron.
"What's the matter, Sweetheart?" her mother said.
"The monster! He's gonna eat me! Make him go away!"
"I think that's what Daddy's doing."
Daddy was feeling particularly brave. He was throwing rocks at the monster while continuing to yell. Then, to the girl's greatest horror, the monster knelt down and looked straight at her.
"And this is your treasure?" She howled with more tears. "You fear me, child?" the monster addressed her. "I will show something to fear."
Before the monster could do something drastic, the father grabbed her. "No! You cannot have her!"
"I've have enough of your humoring me!" the monster declared. "I will make an example of you!"
The next thing the girl knew, they were thrown into the are at an amazing force. The girl found herself in a forest she did not know, probably very, very far from home. At least the monster didn't eat her, but what had it done to Daddy?
The girl came upon a very steep, rocky hill at the other end of the valley. Well, there was nowhere else to go but up. The girl didn't know how to manage it, especially in her bare feet, but she didn't see any choice but to try.
About three-fourths of the way up, she saw someone coming up on the other side of the hill. It was a man all in white. She couldn't really see him very well, but it looked like he had some kind of very big knife in his hand. Didn't his mommy ever tell him not to play with knives? He was fighting some people who looked like raccoons. Daddy had talked about them; they were mean. The girl held tightly to the rock she was clinging to and watched. She didn't want to come up with them.
The man in white tumbled with one of the larger raccoon men. The girl watched in terror as his knife sliced right through the raccoon man. It was only a robot, but it still looked scary. The fight went on like this for a long time. The girl's hands were starting to give. She tried to grab again and hold tighter to the rock, but it was clear that she was still slipping. She tried to reach the next rock, but as she did her feet came out from underneath her, and she began to fall.
