I'm back and I appologize for my long hiatus. I have a boyfriend and two advanced courses. I'm not going to write Brittany's trudging along, but she did spend a long time doing so. Anyway, this is obviously after all her trudging.
I had gone where I was directed and reached an ocean. That didn't help largely because I couldn't fly. I turned, unsure of the way I had come. I needed shelter and I knew it. To make matters worse, I was starting to run out of food and drinkable water.
-'The bow always shots the right target.'- echoed in my mind. I shot an arrow hoping. It arched high in the air and landed a few feet ahead of me in the snow.
"Dammit!" I was on the verge of tears and the word stung in my mouth. I dropped to my knees in despair and wrapped my arms around myself, tears freezing to my face.
"Brittany?" I heard a man's voice. My mind was fuzzy from the cold and I said the first thing that came to mind.
"Daddy?" I felt warmth around me, though I couldn't tell from what.
"I'm sorry. I wish I could have been better for you." I felt a gentle kiss on my forehead. Daddy used to do it when I was sick or feeling sad. I cried harder, new tears melting the ice on my face.
"Why did you do it Daddy? I need you here." I asked.
"I- sweetheart I have to go. I'm sorry. I love you Brittany. Always." he said. His last words echoed. "Be strong."
I stayed in the snow until sunset. Finally I plucked up the courage to check the site where my arrow landed. I neared it, but as I reached down to take it out of the snow, the ground dropped from beneath me. I fell into a metal room and the door shut above me.
"Hello?!" I called out. I was soon faced with guy a little older than me. He had black hair and dark eyes and glasses. He was dressed head to toe in black with a knee length trench coat.
"Hi. Drop by here often?" He asked smiling a bit at his own joke.
"Where am I?" I asked.
"Oooooooooh! Brains and beauty." He smiled wider. "You're in the Savage Land."
"Okay, who are you?" I asked. His smile broadened again.
"Super Bob." He replied comically.
"The truth." I said.
"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth." He replied.
"Then you'll handle an arrow through the throat." I replied loading my bow.
"Hey now! Let's not be too feisty. Can't get the name of a dead person can you?" He said, almost serious.
"Good point. So who are you really?" I lowered my bow but kept it ready.
"Donovan. Now, I get to ask you. Who are you, how did you get here and where did you come from?" he said.
"My name is Brittany, I came here from another universe and I come from Britain, Earth 616." I replied.
"Well you're halfway home." He replied. My breath caught in my throat.
"Really? Where am I?" I asked.
"You're on Earth 616. You are though, in Antarctica." He replied.
*gasp* Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's almost there! My sister is lazy and hasn't signed up yet, but she will. I hope.
