Here's the second chapter, sorry it's short and sorry for the long wait. I have a bad habit of getting writers block on everything i do, trying to work on it. That being said please don't ask for stuff like an update schedule. I would never be able to follow one.
I grimace as i trudge through the snow, pulling the polar bear fur i'm wearing tighter around me, trying to ignore the gnawing pangs of my stomach. Six days. Six days since i was dumped in Westeros and they have sucked!
First day... hah... after i calmed down from the shock and panic of being stuck in one of the most violent and politically dangerous fantasy worlds there was... i broke down. I'm not ashamed to admit i just collapsed and sobbed as i realised that i really would NEVER see my friends and family again, never get to finish those books or TV Shows. And that's not counting my wondering just how my Family reacted when they got the news of my death!
On the second Day i managed to pull myself together a little and started walking. Whether or not i was walking south, i'm wasn't sure, but i think it's the right way to go. I also took the time to experiment a little with my powers, from creating solid object of pure ice, to making fire dance around me and recharging my phone with a small burst of electricity, being careful to not overcharge it and blow it up. Getting to mess with my new powers was fun, and i already have some ideas on things to try! Plus, it helped distract me from my melancholic thoughts as well as the growing hunger in my body.
Third day, after going to the toilet and using fire in lieu of paper to, uh, Clean myself i kept walking again, my hunger continued to gnaw at me, my stomach feeling like it was eating itself. Water wasn't to much of an issue, just melt some snow, flash boil the water to deal with germs and a small burst of ice to cool it off. Didn't help the food situation, but mum always said i needed to lose weight... this is probably not what she meant though.
Fourth day was much like the third with one exception, i managed to find some food! That is too say, i was very nearly killed by a polar bear. Okay so as i was walking along, not using my powers to conserve my strength and i get blindside by something smashing into me. I was lucky in that nothing got broken, and nearly pissed myself at the sight of the Polar Bear bearing down on me and did the first thing that came to mind. Ten spikes of Ice erupted from the snow, stabbing into it and holding it in the air, having pierced it's brain, heart and other vitals.
Once the adrenaline rush faded, thanks, my sides really appreciate being able to feel pain again, i got up and made a knife out of ice and i did my best to skin it. It was a messy, rough job and i got a lot of blood on the pelt, not to mention barley kept what little was in my stomach down (I've always been a bit squeamish) but managed to make myself a makeshift fur cape so i could stay warm and not have to do a Human Torch impersonation. After that i worked on what was left, ignoring all the organs taking what meat i could, cooking it with my flames. It was a bit burnt in places and tasted odd, but it filled me up and that was good enough for me.
After that i settled in for the night, hunkering down next to a fire i made with my powers. I rubbed my hands, sighing as i thought things over. The truth was i had no idea if i was even going in the right direction, and that honestly worried me as did the fact that outside of that Polar Bear i hadn't encountered anything. No Night's Watch Ranger, admittedly i had no idea how far away i was form The Wall so that may not be a surprise, No Free Folk, No Wights or White Walkers, nothing.
I was so caught up in my own thoughts i almost missed the faint crunch of snow being stepped through. My head snapped up and my eyes narrowed as i slowly looked about, trying to pinpoint where it came from. The flickering of the flames isn't helping, sending the many shadows into sharp relief or making them seem to dance about.
I consider calling out, but quickly shoot that idea down. If i had some way to detect if someone- Hang on... i just might! I'd loved reading about super powers and there use's and one of the use's for Electrokenisis was Bio-Electric Manipulation, that is the manipulation of the body's innate electricity that ran through the nervous system. A side of that power was the ability to sense and detect the bio-electricity of other people! Of course, i have no clue about how to go about doing that...
Closing my eyes i dug inwards, finding the part of me the governed my lightning powers and focused, trying to... i guess reach out and detect more lightning?
For a few moments, there nothing and then it's like the world lights up! I can make out myself and... two... people? Yes! Two people who are... sneaking up on me. Oh. Oh shit this could be bad!
