CHAPTER TWO
BY:
Fantasy Girl (Saturn Angels)
L.A. - the next morning...
Sara woke up last to see Miyu and Diana already dressed…though they never really had to change since all their belongings were lost. Sara groaned as she realized she hadn't dreamt the whole thing.
"Come on Sara, get up…we have to go and get everything we'll be needing. Including a house…books, furniture, cooking stuff, food, a car," Diana said listing all the things they would need.
Sara sighed gloomily and got out of bed, "Alright…how are we going to get all the shopping done? With what money?"
"We're going to split up, I have a bank account here." Miyu said as she began walking out, Diana and Sara followed her.
"Alright, do we already have the money?" Sara asked as she rolled up her long sleeve shirt.
"Yes, we got the money while you were sleeping, it's alright noon. And here's the plan… Sara you get the car and the house. We know you'll choose well. Miyu will get the books and furniture and other items necessary to keep us busy. And I will get the cooking stuff and the food. All clear?" Diana said as they each called separate taxis.
"Hai." Miyu and Sara said in unison and they all went different directions to get what they needed.
Hours later…
Sara picked Miyu and Diana up in her new car, a black Ferrari F355 and drove them to their new house, a good-sized two story house five bedrooms, four bathrooms, and some other things. The house was empty as they had no furniture yet, it would be delivered the next day. Miyu set down a bunch of books and other things and Diana went straight to the kitchen to store the plates in the cabinets, the house came with a refrigerator so she piled the food in there and began cooking dinner, it was already seven p.m. in Los Angeles.
"What did you get Miyu?" Sara asked as she sat down on one sleeping bag that Miyu had gotten, she'd gotten three sleeping bags and four pillows.
"Some books, some CDs both the ones that Diana and I like, and the ones you like. Metallica and I think Maiden Iron?"
"Iron Maiden." Sara corrected grinning.
"Yes, and some books, horror, fantasy, romance, action, everything else."
"What's this one about?" Sara asked as she picked out a big, bronze, leather book.
"I don't know. Some lady on the streets gave it to me…" Miyu said as she looked at the book Sara was holding in her hand.
"Should we read it?" Sara asked interested since there was no title.
Miyu shrugged, "Sure. Read it out loud so I can hear too"
Sara nodded, "Alrighty. Here it goes" She opened the book to the first page, which read:
"Thee, mortal have been bestowed one of the greatest gifts, or greatest curses ever by the Goddess Terraceles. Be prepared now to enter a world of fantasy, myth, adventure, curses, romance, witchcraft, death, and triumph; thou hast been chosen to save a world other then your own…"
Sara raised an eyebrow and suddenly began laughing, "What a stupid introduction!" she laughed louder, "Shall we read more?" before Miyu even responded there was a loud clash from the kitchen. Miyu and Sara looked at each other briefly before Miyu ran to the kitchen to see what had happened. Sara stayed behind waiting for Miyu to return; she read a bit more of the book.
"Do not fear. A great journey is to begin…"
Miyu looked around the empty kitchen; empty except for a pot lying upside down on the floor and the silver spoon next to it. There was no Diana, Miyu looked frantically around her and ran back to where Sara was. Once she entered the room she realized Sara was no where to be found, the book was lying half open on the ground and there was no sign of Sara, "…Sara? Diana?" Miyu called looking around herself wildly. "Sara!" she suddenly felt a tingling sensation below her feet and looked down to see a strange white portal. Before she had time even to scream the void engulfed her and she blacked out.
She awoke to find herself in a dark forest, Diana and Sara looking at her worriedly.
"Diana? Sara? …What happened?" Miyu asked as she sat up.
Sara sighed a bit, "Maybe it has something to do with that book, Miyu?" she asked quietly.
Miyu looked at her skeptically, but there really wasn't any other explanation.
"First off, now that we're all here and awake. We have to find people…and let's hope that they aren't cannibals or violent." Diana said.
"I bet you this was that book's doing! It was the book!" Sara said triumphantly.
Diana looked at Sara as if she were stupid, "Maybe we're all just having the same dream?"
"At any rate shouldn't we try to find people?" Miyu suggested as she stood and brushed her pants off.
They began walking towards a direction which they could only guess was north.
Some time later…
"Look there's a village!" Sara cried finally after about two hours of walking.
"Sara…that's not a village…those are a bunch of trees…" Diana said slowly so Sara would understand, "Now, behind the trees you can see a city, can you say city?"
There was silence when Diana finally realized what she said.
"City!!" Sara cried and began running towards it.
Miyu and Diana followed suit though they weren't crying 'City!' at the top of their lungs.
"Hey, this is a book right?" Miyu asked while running, Diana nodded, "Well…couldn't this be…"
Before she could even finish her sentence, Sara tripped over an uplifted root and a net came from seemingly from nowhere and tied them up to the tree.
"…a trap." Miyu finished with a sigh.
"So…what do we do?" Diana asked calmly.
"Help! Help! Help!! Hello! Is anyone listening? I said HELP!" Sara cried frantically. As there was nothing but the silence and birds chirping Sara looked around fearfully, "The walls are closing in…"
"What?" Miyu and Diana asked in unison.
"The walls…you see? Look, notice that the sides are kind of lopsided and little bits of plaster is falling off of the ceiling?"
"Sara…there are no walls…this is a net…" Miyu said looking at Sara strangely.
"…You're just saying that so I won't freak out!!" Sara yelled, "HELP! EVEN IF YOU'RE CANNIBALS! HELP! THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN!!" she rethought her words, "Never mind! You cannibals be gone! I have a uh…Miyu and I'm not afraid to use her!"
Miyu sweatdropped, "Sara are you feeling alright?"
"…Yeah, fine…why do you ask?"
They sweatdropped and prayed that they would be let out by someone, something, anything so long as it was soon.
Sara sighed and began to preoccupy herself, "Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall…ninety-nine bottles of beer…you take one down pass it around, ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall…"
Miyu and Diana looked at Sara horrified and tried desperately to get out of the net.
One hour later…
"Forty-four bottles of beer on the wall, forty-four bottles of beer! Take one down pass it around, forty-three bottles of beer on the wall!" Sara, Miyu, and Diana sang in unison. Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!
"Forty-three bottles of-" Their singing was rudely cut off by a distant,
"SHUT UP!"
They all blinked and looked at each other and began screaming, "HELP!!!"
And there was silence.
"Now I lost count! Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall…ninety-nine bottles of beer…" Sara began again.
Miyu and Diana let out a groan of protest, "Not again!" they cried angrily.
Three hours later…after many instances where Sara lost count of the bottles due to the constant complaints of Diana.
"One bottle of beer on the wall, one bottle of beer! Take one down…" yawn, "Pass it around … …" Sara paused slightly and to the relief of Miyu and Diana got to zero, "no more bottles of beer on the wall!" she finished.
Miyu and Diana sighed in relief and sat there in silence for a few seconds…but that silence was offensively interrupted by…
"Now that I've got from 99 to none…how about we sing a different song?" Sara asked quietly.
'How about we don't sing at all,' Miyu thought shaking her head slightly.
"This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends! Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, but they'll just…keep on singing it forever just because!"
Miyu and Diana whined a little and Diana took off her combat boot and threw it at Sara, "Shut up already!"
Sara looked at Diana harshly, "How dare you criticize my singing?"
Diana rolled her eyes, "Is that what you call it? Singing?", then thought for a moment, "…Hey…I still have my pocket knife!!"
"And you didn't remember that until now, why?" Miyu asked.
Diana shrugged and pulled out her Swiss army knife which was hidden in the boot that; fortunately…or unfortunately, she didn't throw at Sara.
"That's a pocket knife?" Sara asked looking at the blade which was closer to a dagger then to a pocket knife.
"Well…it folds in and stuff…so…yeah." Diana said then shrugged, "Anyway, hold on…I'm going to cut us out from the bottom."
"Why the bottom?" Miyu asked watching Diana cut each little piece of rope at a time.
Diana shrugged a bit, "I don't know, I just felt like cutting there, if it was from the sides then we'd have to climb out and could wind up getting hurt."
Miyu raised an eyebrow at Diana.
Diana remained silent and the only sounds heard were those of the knife cutting through the rope. "There, that should do it! She put her Swiss army knife away and stood up as much as possible, "AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" The three girls fell through the hole at the same time and landed on the dirt path with a loud thud.
"That was really smart, Diana-chan." Miyu said from her place beneath everyone, and then added, "I'd really like it if you all would get off me. I'm beginning to suffocate!"
"Seriously Sara! How long has it been since you exercised!" Diana asked as she tried to get out of the tangle.
"Look who's talking fatty!"
"Fatty!!?" Diana repeated becoming angrier by the minute.
"One too many chocolate bars, hmm?" Sara continued until Diana's knee firmly hit her jaw.
"…P-Point taken." Sara mumbled before shaking her head to orient herself again.
Miyu gasped from underneath them, "Hello. Suffocating protagonist here."
"I'll only get off once you says who's fatter, me or Diana?" Sara asked stubbornly.
"…" Miyu shook her head and rolled her eyes, "Diana: you weigh 125 pounds! 125!!!! And Sara you weight 115 because you're three inches shorter than Diana! NOW GET OFF!"
They tried to oblige but ended up giving Miyu and themselves a few bruises to remember in the morning.
Suddenly Sara sat down once everyone had gotten untangled, "I-I think I'm having a nervous breakdown."
Diana stared down at the usually most adaptable of the group, "Come on Sara! Don't get all moody and suicidal on us now!"
"I-I can't accept this! We're in a different world! How do we get back!?" Sara asked through loud sobs.
Diana kneeled next to Sara and slapped her, "Listen! If you have to pretend this is a dream, then do it!! Stop babbling! Just stop it!"
Sara sat stunned, her left hand cradling her cheek, "You're so cruel…Hidoi desu (You're cruel)!!!!" Sara shouted before standing and running to hug Miyu.
Miyu blink and patted the girl awkwardly, "Let's just move on, shall we?"
Sara sniffled a few times before nodding her head and pulling away from Miyu.
"Move on to what?"
At first Miyu thought it was Diana speaking, "The town of course." Her brows furrowed in confusion though as she realized Diana hadn't spoken. "Who's there?" she asked then whirled around to look behind her, nobody.
"Over here." Said the female voice, and Miyu turned and almost collided with the person speaking.
"Watch it! Geez! And to your previous question…" the woman gave a low bow, her long ruby red hair spilling over her shoulders during her one fluid motion. She straightened and looked straight at Miyu, "My name is Jacqueline. Close friends call me Jackie, so…call me Jacqueline." Jacqueline said, mocking humor shining in her light gray eyes.
Sara glared at the girl and clenched her jaw, "Well obviously you have something important to say or else you wouldn't have stopped us. Or did you just want to introduce yourself?"
Jacqueline's gaze shifted to Sara, her head didn't turn to look directly at her- but her piercing stare could rival that of a basilisk. "Quite the contrary, Sara." She smirked insultingly at the look on Sara's face, "I have come to stop you. Giving you my name was just a bonus."
"Stop us?" Miyu asked confused as to what this woman was talking about. Obviously she must have been misled…
"Stop us from what?" Sara asked, equally confused.
Jacqueline smiled, "Stop you from doing everything you are destined to do."
"Oh, that's lucid." Diana said sarcastically as she pulled out her 'pocket-knife'. "I have no clue what you're talking about- we've only just arrived."
Jacqueline shook her head, "The time is near. Terraceles is becoming impatient."
Miyu paused, 'Terraceles? That sounds familiar…' She shrugged the feeling off however knowing that it wasn't wise to think about things at that time.
"Jackie! Have you found them? The intruders to our realm?" asked a skimpily clad blonde as she ran into the area, she stopped immediately as she saw Miyu, Diana, and Sara. "I'll take that as a yes! Let's take them to Sir Garline right away!"
Jacqueline turned to look at the blonde, "Lilith! So glad you could join us. And as you can see I've found them. I have it under control."
"But miss-"
"Stop trying to be helpful, Lilith. You're not good at it."
Lilith frowned and anger was evident in her stance and she said in a dead serious voice, "I'd suggest you not taunt me while your prey that you have 'under control' runs away."
Jacqueline face-faulted, "What?" she spun around quickly to see the empty place where they once stood. "Lilith let's go!"
Silence.
"Lilith?" Jacqueline turned to see that she too was gone. "Damn!" she cursed before running towards the town-they were sure to go there.
Somewhere close by…
"Where are we going?" Sara asked panting as she tried to keep up with the other girls.
"To town." Diana said running as fast as she could.
"Wouldn't they expect that?" Miyu asked pointing out what she saw as obvious.
"Perhaps." Diana replied, "But if we get there before them then we find places to hide- there will probably be crowds of people there making it harder for them to find us."
"I see."
Somewhere close by to them…
"Thank goddess I know a shortcut…" Jacqueline said to herself as she ran through the woods.
