NEW WORLD
"So this here is Canada. Wow, maybe Ah should'a just stayed back in the good ol' U.S of A. There ain't one thang out here except some snow and some trees."
"Great and now Ah'm so lonely Ah'm talkin' to myself."
From about this point Ah'm walkin' for what feels like forever but has more than likely just been a few hours, not that it matters with the whole 'Ah'm invincible' thang Carol had. Oh well, she is so not mah problem at the moment, 'cause now Ah am sittin' here in the snow tryin' ta figure out where the hell Ah'm suppose ta go. Ah haven't been able ta find another livin' soul out here since Ah got here, but for the past twenty minutes or so Ah just feel like somebody's watchin' me. But Ah don't know, don't feel like Ah'm in danger, somethin' in meh seems ta feel like Ah would know if Ah were in trouble, and whoever it is hasn't seemed to bother me none so let 'em look...whatever. Ah'm sure they're sick of lookin' at only snow and trees too. Finally Ah just have ta say somethin' 'cause its startin' ta feel a lil creepy.
"Come out, come out whoever ya are. Ah know ya been watchin' me. Ah don't mean nobody no harm. Just lookin' for a place ta rest. Kinda' like some company if'in nothin' else."
Silence, pure silence.
"Look, ya can sit and stare all ya want, but Ah didn't come out here ta hurt nobody. Ah'm all alone. Really."
"Fahne, have it your way."
So Ah decide ta keep watchin' when all of a sudden Ah'm jumped by a couple a guys. Seriously, theres only a couple of them and they think they can take meh. Ah don't even see the point, why try ta take meh on, didn't Ah say Ah'm not here ta fight. Oh well, ya win some ya lose some. So they start circling meh when one of them decides ta get chatty all of'a sudden.
"Well, well aren't yah a pretty one. Hey Fred, we might be able ta get double. She's looks better from up close don't she?"
"What the same hell ya'll talkin' 'bout? Ah don't wanna fight, but Ah will if'n Ah have ta. Ah'm warning ya, don't mess wit' me."
"You're right Jake, and she's seems restless, if we don't have to hurt her too bad we might get triple."
Then the first guy, Fred, big ugly hairy guy jumped up and grabbed me from behind. Ah could'a swore he was tryin' ta cop a feel back there, and oh he just pissed meh off. 'Cause right then the other one decides he's gonna tie mah wrists with some rope. Ha.
"Oh don't say Ah didn't warn yah."
So Ah fly up in the air, pretty far, enough ta scare tubby here holdin' on fer dear life, grab his arm and toss him aside. He's lucky Ah didn't beat him ta a bloody pulp. As Ah come back down to the ground the other one decides he's gonna run. No way, Ah want some answers. So Ah glide right up next ta him and grab his collar and fly up just over the trees ta start mah interrogatin'.
"Now, tell meh what ya'll were talkin' 'bout gettin' from meh."
"B-But h-how you d-do that? I-I'm sorry j-just put me down a-and you will n-never see m-me again. P-P-Pleasse?"
"Look, don't act like yah don't know nothin', Ah ain't stupid, so spit it out, and ya might live ta see tomorrow."
"You aren't from around here, are ya? We were lookin' ta sell you to the trading post. They need more women. Too many men up here, not enough women to go around. We were just looking to get some money for supplies. That's all."
"What do ya mean sell meh. Ah ain't no prostitute. Do Ah look like one?"
"N-no. Look, they sell women all the time. Women, livestock, farmland, information, maps, stuff like that. Ever since that big mutant thing happened, country's had some major problems. Most of the country don't pay much attention to the government. We have to do what we can. It's a man's world, and if the rest wanna survive, then they let us handle it."
"Why ya lil...wait a second. Man's world. Do Ah look like Ah need protection ta yah?"
"N-N-No Ma'am. We didn't figure you for a mutant. They have their own settlements. I heard about America deciding to pay for mutants, but they may not want them from us. So if ya don't mind on letting me go with a warning, I will make sure not to bother you anymore."
"Well that is better." So Ah decided to slowly descend as to not totally freak this guy out anymore.
"You shouldn't be jumpin' people anyway. Yah mentioned a mutant camp. Ya know where one of them might be?"
"No, they are very hard to find. Most that find it don't live to tell about it."
"Alright then, that figures. Thank ya. Now get along before ya piss meh off and Ah decide ta kick ya three ways from Sunday."
