I Was Just Going to Dance Class!
Part One
"Cherie? Are you home?" Brianna heard her boyfriend's accented voice echo through her kitchen as he entered. "I'm in the living room sweets," she answered.
Pierre made his way to the living room with the dozen roses he had bought for Brianna. "Aww...Pierre, you didn't have to get me roses," she said affectionately. "I wanted to Cherie," he said, giving her a deep, passionate kiss. Brianna smiled.
"Mmm," she said quietly, her eyes still closed. She shot them open suddenly. "What time is it?" she asked him frantically. "It is only 5 o' clock. Why?" he asked her, a little annoyed that she wasn't paying much attention to him. "Oh, no. I'm late!" she said quickly gathering some of her things up and putting them in her purse. "What are you late for?" he inquired, following her around the room. "I have to go to my dance class. It started at 4:45!" she exclaimed.
"Baby, I'll be back in two hours. I'll make dinner when I get home, ok?" she called as shut the door and didn't give Pierre time to answer back. "Oui," he answered to himself sadly. He was upset that he didn't get much time with his girlfriend any more. Sighing he sat down on their couch and watched some TV.
~*~*~In The Car~*~*~
"Shit!" Brianna yelled as she pulled into the bumper to bumper traffic. Looking around she spotted a narrow side street about two cars ahead of her. She pulled along side the shoulder of the road and turned down there. "I am so late," she thought out loud. Then suddenly, Brianna was met with a bright flash of blinding light and her own scream.
Still screaming, it took Brianna realize that she was driving right into a wall, and she slammed on her brakes just in time. Shaken up, she stared at her steering wheel…and then out at her surroundings.
"What the hell?" she asked herself as she looked around. She noticed that she was in a large room that had a black marble floor with matching pillars. The carvings around looked very Gothic and seemed like they belonged in a movie or something. Hesitantly, she opened her car door and slowly stepped out.
"Hello?" she greeted and her voice echoed off of the walls. Out of nowhere, she was met with four men and two women. "What do you want?" one of the women asked sternly. "Um…nothing much. I just want to know where I am…" Brianna asked bewildered. She looked at the one guy that was wearing a big hat. She gasped as she saw lightening flash across his eyes. Brianna stood up and she watched as all of the people in the room tensed up.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa…calm down. I'm not here to piss any one off," she reacted. Holding her one hand up she slowly reached into the car and took out her purse. "My name's Brianna," she introduced herself putting her bag on her shoulder. "I ain't gonna hurt you guys, ok? I don't think I really could," she answered giving a half smile. She watched, as the Lightening Man seemed to give a silent signal to the others that she was no harm to them.
"I am Rayden," he told her. "You come from Earth?" he asked her in a tone that seemed like he already knew the answer. "Yeah…Jersey…" she said in a tone that obviously showed her confused reaction to the question. Her worried eyes traveled over to the other people. There was the woman who asked what she wanted. She was very pretty with long dark brown hair and eyes to match. She wore a blue outfit that Brianna thought kicked major ass. Then there was the other woman who also was very pretty. She looked like a stereotypical all-American girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her complexion was very pale and she was wearing what seemed to be out-of-place army camouflage out fit. Along side of her was a man with black hair and almond shaped brown eyes. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and had black baggy silk pants on. Then there was another man who was very handsome. He had short brown hair and a white beater on. He also wore baggy jeans. Then there was the last man, whom Brianna found to be very attractive. He had short black hair and matching eyes. Over his one eye was a long scar, which gave him a rough edge. He was wearing a weird blue and black ninja thing that confused Brianna even more.
"I am Liu Kang," the shirtless man introduced himself. The other introduced themselves as Kitana, Sonya, Johnny Cage, and Sub-Zero. "So where exactly am I?" Brianna pondered again. "You're not on Earth anymore, that's for sure," Rayden smiled. "What?" she asked him, like he was crazy. "I sent you into our realm," he explained. "I need you to fight with us," he went on.
"Look, buddy, I can't fight. And I don't know what planet you guys are on, but I need to get to my dance class, and then I need to get back home to make myself dinner and then curl up on the couch and go to sleep. So if you could please be so kind as to lead me to a parking garage or something, and let me know a way back to my house back in Jersey, that would be great," she said as polite as possible. "Parking garage?" Sub-Zero asked, confused.
"Haha, oh Brianna. You've much to learn," Rayden laughed and led her out of the room.
Rayden walked in front, Kitana and Liu Kang walked side-by-side behind him, Sonya and Johnny walked behind them and Sub-Zero and Brianna walked behind them. They were on a narrow bridge, and when Brianna looked down she saw that the drop on a pit of spikes was very far down. Being afraid of heights and getting dizzy and scared from looking down, she grabbed Sub-Zero's arm quickly. Looking up, she noticed how tall he was. He must have been seven feet tall! He met her gaze with a cold stare that showed no sense of caring or anything. "Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized, feeling embarrassed. Sub-Zero didn't say anything, just turned his head back forward again. What's his problem? Brianna wondered, and tried not to look down again.
Next, Brianna found herself inside a small corridor that was winding down. After that she came to a hallway that had rooms on either side. The only light came from torches that were light on the side of the walls. Rayden led them into a room that was complete with a bed, a mirror, a table, and a chair. Brianna was marveled at the beautiful canopy bed that had red satin sheets and sheer red material for the canopy. "This will be your room," Rayden told her. "Your training will begin in two days time. I hope you have a restful evening," he smiled and turned away. Kitana, Sonya and Liu Kang followed him out the door. Brianna looked up at Sub-Zero and tried to give him a warm smile with a bit of flirtatiousness in it. He just gave his cold stare right back at her. Every time he looked into her eyes, it seemed to chill her to the bone. Then, he just turned around and left. "Don't worry about Zero," Johnny comforted her. "He's just not the friendly of a guy. Give him time and he'll come around." With that, Johnny turned on his heel and left.
"Well this has been a splendid dream," Brianna told herself sarcastically after the wooden door closed behind Johnny. "I'll just fall asleep and wake up next to Pierre in our bed," she yawned. She took her shoes and socks off, put her purse on the table, crawled into bed and fell fast asleep.
