A late September night in New York City, was normal like any other day. The busy streets flowed non stop, and neither did business at the bakery. I paused at my front door and stuck my key in, relieved to finally be home. I sighed, dropping my bags near the door and immediately making my way to the room to shower. The bakery might've smelted good, but I didn't. I lived alone, which was nice.
I never had to worry about feeding anyone besides myself. You don't have a choice when the Foster Care system kicks you out at the tender age of eighteen. I had no one but myself, which at the time wasn't great. But I held my own and pushed through. Now being twenty two and living alone had its benefits sometimes. Having no roommates, no responsibilities, well, other then this high rent.
Life was simple and pretty peaceful by myself. I'm not conceited but I know I'm a beautiful woman. Almost every man/woman pinned after me, of course always being turned down. I never have time for relationships, never seemed important at the time. I guess being alone so long taught me so...
While I let the shower water warm up a bit, I took a look in the mirror at my figure. I never went to the gym, but a a run around the parks from time to time. I barley had free time, but I don't like to laze around too much either.
Being a black woman with a curvy body and shoulder length locs, along with my sharp facial features and a size D chest. I never had a problem with men or woman, but I didn't find myself needing anyone, just my shows and manga.
But tonight was a day of relaxation, no work tomorrow and any time I got off from the bakery I'd take in a heart beat. I finally made my way in the shower letting the water run over me.
I knew the first thing that was on my to-do list.
THE WITCHER.
I loved the show to bunches, it always made my day every time I watched it. I read all the books, and played all the games. I can't count how many play throughs I did on both hands, especially Witcher 3. Cutting off the water, I dried off and went over to my dresser putting on a pair of shorts and a green tee shirt.
Making my way to the living room, I quickly turned on the TV with my take out in hand that I left at my door. The room soon filled with Jaskier antics bothering Geralt. A few hours passed, being good and full. I noticed something rather strange in my kitchen, my apartment was only so big. I pulled my head back to couch to peak into the kitchen around the double walls.
A very dim glowing light, it almost seemed translucent.
Sighing I got up from my couch not bothering to pause the show I know so well and made my way to the kitchen. I must've left the fridge open, dummy. I stuck my tongue out to myself and made my way to the kitchen.
Coming around the corner the first thing I noticed was my closed fridge. And a very tall armory humanoid monster in front of it. I quickly held my breath and hid behind my wall.
'What the hell!'
My gun was in the drawer in my room, but if I ran pass the kitchen right now it would definitely see me. My breathing now felt erratic, as I tried to steady my self about what I was about to do. Preparing myself about what to do, my heart quickly dropped from the deep erie voice.
"Caemm 'ere".
It shook me to my core when it spoke, I'm so fucked right now. It knew I was here, dammit. There was no way that was a person, if they wanted to steal something they would've done it while I was working right?! Unless they or if wanted something else, my mouth started to get dry. And it was getting harder and harder to keep my composure.
I remained silent, not breathing in waiting. Neither of us made a move, silence other then Geralts battle grunts are heard in the back ground on the TV.
I don't want to sprint to my room if it sees me, but it's looking like I don't have a choice now. Throwing leg in front of the other I quickly made my way towards my bedroom door. Slamming it open, I quickly made my way to close it and licking it behind me. I rushed to my gun in my dresser, quickly turning around to my door ready to face my intruder.
Slow but menacing stumps made its way to my room. His shadow and that translucent light shown under the door. I stood up ready to stand my ground with my gun pointed at the door. "Stay away from me, go away please".
I stood shock as my door was frozen and smashed in. I covered my face with my arm as sharp pieces of ice scattered across my room. It stood at least 8 feet tall with a staff in its left hand.
"What is your name child?".
Silent and surprised it spoke English, but I remained silent in shock. I continued to hold my gun aimed at it. I quickly backed up when it began to walk towards me. Shooting three times only too duck when the bullets ricocheted from his armor, but even a dent. It quickly made its way to me, no longer waiting for a reply. And picked me up by my arm and tossed me over its shoulder like I was today's kill.
I coughed almost violently as the air was knocked out of me from the quick movement. I thrashed and kneed his armored face, which only made my knee bleed. It begin to mumble and a circle of a golden hue appeared in front of him. He then proceed to walk through the golden circle, with me on his shoulders. I screamed and flailed at it to let me go, within seconds I saw tinge of blue swirl between us, almost as if my body was on fire for a split second.
'This feeling, it's familiar. It's warm'.
It dropped me and held its head in anguish screaming. It tore of its helmet and dragged its hands over its face. I backed up, my back to the strange circle as it reached out to me needly as it screamed in agonizing pain.
Quickly standing I attempted to jump over it. Only for it to grab my leg and drag me towards the golden hue, despite his grunts of the torment of his pain.
I Quickly grabbed unto my bed post, my body half way through. Crying, my body begin to get warmer. Heat radiantly off my body, I saw the golden hue turn to the same blue from earlier. The rough ironclad that was wrapped around my leg suddenly let go, and so did I.
Thank you for reading! I'll be updating almost every other day. :)
Caemm 'ere : Come here.
