A/N: Ok! I'm back
with chapter 15! It's not very long, but at least it's something, right? And so
sorry, not much funny in this one ;_;
but there's lots of action- if you can call it that… ok, so it's not my best –
so sue me! Er… not literally, please. Well, I've noticed that lots of my normal
readers haven't reviewed ;_; it makes me so sad, maybe you just don't know I
changed the title…? Well, neway, here's chapter 15 ~
**** Jade's P.O.V ****
I was actually getting pretty bored,
so, what better thing to do when bored than to go exploring? But what if I ran
into a monster? It couldn't be that hard, I tried to assure myself, I'd fought
the plant creatures in Evil Forest and made it out ok, but this time, I was alone…
Ok, so I'm getting a little over dramatic, at least I had a plan! I touched the
rope I had slung over my shoulder, and then started nervously fumbling with my
hair.
I was heading over to the mountain
lookout to see that coffee guy; I remembered there was a chest somewhere around
there with a high potion, and another chest with some Gil. After I walked for a
few minutes I really started to doubt I could handle a battle on my own. I
looked across the field area and happened to see a huge Carve Spider.
"Gah!" I walked slowly, watching it the
whole time hoping it wouldn't notice me, then broke into a run…and ran right
into a…
"AHHH!! SPIDER!!!"
Yeah, I'd say I was definitely not
ready for this.
The thing looked pretty pissed (if spiders CAN look pissed) and I wished I were
anywhere but here. It was huge! Taller than I was at least, I tried to move,
but my legs were shaking so bad I fell down. I remembered my rope, my plan,
and quickly grabbed for my dagger. I shut my eyes and threw it, hoping it'd hit
my target.
The Carve Spider screeched, and I
fumbled with the rope, tying a slipknot at one end.
"S-so far so good…" I mumbled trying to
stay focused.
After just a moment, the spider got my dagger out of its leg and focused its
attention on me.
I dove for my dagger and managed to get
the rope around the spider's neck. I yanked the rope, but instead of falling to
the ground, I only succeeded in pulling the spider right up in my face. This
was not going according to plan. - -
I screamed and tried to get away, but
felt a huge spider leg come crashing down on my head. My dagger escaped my
grasp and went flying a few feet away. The Carve Spider lunged for it and I
grabbed the rope, this time succeeding in pulling the over-grown bug to the
ground.
"This is so gross!"
I realized this was going to be a lot
harder than I thought. There was no polite 'taking turns' like in my game, and
something else was missing.
"I'm fighting for my life, but where
the hell is my suspense music!?"
I tugged on the rope again, and then ran for my dagger. I looked up and saw an
area of forest ahead of me.
"Time for a new plan-!" Forgetting the
dagger, I jumped up and made a break for the forest.
"Why me…? I whimpered, "I hate bugs!"
As I figured, the disgusting bug came rushing after me, and I circled around a
tree, grabbing the rope.
"Take this buggy-!" I tied a knot
around the tree and jumped back.
After a moment of breathing heavily, I stood up.
"Ha ha! Stupid bug! You can't get me!
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah!" I stuck out my tongue and kicked dirt at the disgruntled
bug, which lunged out at me.
"Ah!" I fell to the ground again, and
then realized the rope held and I was still alive.
"Stupid bug…" I mumbled and headed back
to where I had first encountered the monstrous bug and retrieved my dagger.
After regaining peace of mind, I headed for the mountain lookout again- being much
more careful this time.
***************3rd person*******************
"Well, well, well, isn't this
pathetic?" The cloaked man walked in circles around the spider Jade had tied to
the tree.
"I don't understand why this mission
is so important, she can't even finish the job."
He produced his sword from under his cloak and be-headed the bug. He reached
into his pack and pulled out the electronical device.
"Master, she couldn't even finish off
these simple creatures, how could she possibly be of any use to you?"
"Fool!" The old man on the screen
bellowed, "You could never begin to comprehend her power!"
"Y-yes master…"
"Although, if you cannot sense her
strength, I have none other than myself to blame…"
"Master?"
"And tell me, if she is so weak, why
has it taken you so long to return her to me!?"
"I'm sorry master," the boy pleaded,
"it has been quite difficult with the company she has kept- I have already told
you who-"
"Yes, yes, but that should not matter!
Get her back Nomi, remember, you can be easily replaced."
"Of coarse…"
After stuffing the device back into his pack, the boy continued his trek after
Jade.
"Stupid girl, hasn't she caused me
enough trouble?"
Nomi gave one last disgusted glance at the spider and headed towards the
mountain lookout.
