Chapter II: Odd happenings
"Ugh?" Nina groaned as she opened her eyes, and tried to painfully herself off the floor. 'Floor! I don't remember being on the floor.'
Only then did she realize her surroundings "eh? She said when she looked around. 'Where am I…' Nina asked herself. What could she see… grass birds, trees and swings. 'I'm in a park… but what would a park be doing in Chedo?'
Just then a little girl human girl came up to Nina. "Wow, are you an angel?" she said pointing to Nina's wings.
Nina blinked "Uh, no." The girl looked disappointed.
"Oh OK then bye." And she ran off to the slide.
'That was odd, an angel… maybe she's just never seen a wyndian before, and after all we are in the Empire.' Nina thought she shrugged it off, when she remembered her friends "Ursula! Scais! Ershin! Cray! Ryu!" Nina bellowed as loud as she could, but no one came, well except a policeman.
He tapped Nina on the back "Anything the matter miss?" it was then he noticed her wings, he raised an eyebrow, Nina noticed.
"What, never seen a wyndian before?" she asked the policeman's eyebrow went higher. Just then Nina remembered she was looking for her friends " oh yeah, by the way have you seen my friends, one looks like a dog, another like a mobile-dustbin, two with tails and a blue-haired guy." Nina finished, if the policeman's eyebrow could go any higher it would be in space.
"Yeah, whatever kid." He said as walked off.
Nina jumped up and down in frustration "Yeah what have you seen them or not!" She growled and turned around… only to come face to face with Ryu "Ryu!" Nina screamed in shock and fell onto the grass, Ryu offered her his hand, she took it and suddenly hugged Ryu, "oh, Ryu, I thought I was all alone!" Ryu blinked and his face went beet red, it is safe to say to say that he isn't hugged often, especially by a girl.
Just then realization dawned on Nina as she noticed she was hugging Ryu, her face went as red as His.
"Uhhhh…" they said in unison "let's just forget that happened OK?" Ryu nodded, still as red as ever.
Nina tried to start a conversation with Ryu, though of course he can't speak "uh, so where are we Ryu?"
Ryu shook his head, signaling he didn't know, Nina sighed and looked to the sky. The sun was setting , Ryu started walking towards the top of a rather small hill, "huh?" Nina said in a note of confusion, he stopped, his eyes slightly rounder than usual, Nina followed his path and walked up to him, to see what caused his expression of shock.
Millions of tiny lights sparkled from buildings below, reflecting the dying evening sun.
"Ryu… I don't think were in Chedo anymore."
They failed to notice the pair of eyes in the shadows.
