After Kimberly got dressed, the maidens told Kimberly to sit and wait for Lord Simi Yi to come. Kimberly just nodded and sighed. She looked down at her clothes and touched the silk. She never imagined how soft it could be and how much it actually costs to afford such fine silk like this. Her hair was down but it was braided nicely and neatly. 'I feel like a princess…' She said to herself as she turned because she heard the door open. "Hmm… This actually fits you very well." Simi Yi said with a smirk.
Kimberly turned and glared dangerously at Simi Yi. She hates how people do that but… She knew she probably won't be able to hit him so she just stood up and walked near him but also keeping a safe distance. He told Kimberly to follow him so she did but she was behind him so she can just see his back and not feeling eyes behind her. She hates that feeling so much when people look at her from behind. He noticed and smirked Simi Yi purposely slowed down to walk beside Kimberly. She didn't know what exactly happened but she raised her hand to slap Simi Yi though he easily caught her hand and gripped her wrist.
Kimberly winced in pain as she was going to use her other hand to hit but he grabbed her other wrist and pinned her to a wall. "Foolish girl. Don't think you can just hit me. I know you can fight but don't think you'll be able to just defeat me that simply. You can beat the lower rank officers but there's generals you can't defeat." Simi Yi said as his face was dangerously close to Kimberly's. She tried to get away from his grip but she knew she was no match for his strength. So he let go and told her to keep going. Kimberly decided to listen and kept rubbing her wrist since it still hurts.
~~~~~Time to where Kimberly meets the others~~~~~~
Before opening the door to the throne room Simi Yi said "When you meet Lord Cao Cao, you must bow but since you're a girl, you'll knee until he tells you to stand." Kimberly nodded and followed Simi Yi. There are people standing to the side and some standing near the throne. She felt uncomfortable because their eyes were on me and she didn't dare to look at them. There stood a man that was just wearing blue clothes but from the looks of it, he's Lord Cao Cao. Kimberly knelt and kept her head down. She still felt eyes on her but good thing Simi Yi spook up "My Lord, this is the girl I was telling you about."
It seems that the Lord was studying carefully because Kimberly can feel that stare and it made her scared but she didn't dare to show it. "You may stand." He finally said what seemed like forever. She stood up and trying not to fall since she's not use to the clothes though she managed. "My, such beauty wasted! I truly do not wish to see that happen." Said a man next to Cao Cao. I turned and looked at him. He seemed to be one that's one of those cross-dressers that love wearing make-up who also seems like a girl. "Zhang He, now's not the time. For now, we have discussions to see of what we should do with this child." And that's when Kimberly felt that it's just not pain but whether more like death.
~~~~~~Time skip to Wu~~~~~~
"We're here." Said Zhou Yu as he walked to the guards that are blocking the gates to the palace. "What do you want?" One of the guards asked. "We're here to meet Cao Cao." Sun Ce said in firm voice. The guards looked at each other before one of them replying "Without an invitation, you aren't allowed to go in." That's when Brianna and Diana came by. "Not allowed? Our friend is in there! I'm sure we have the right to get in!" They both said in unison. "Ha. And who are you? Just a bunch of children that think they're all high and mighty?" The guards laughed before Lu Xun came up and pointed a sword at one of the guard's throat. Everyone raised their weapons before the gate slightly opened and someone came out. It was Simi Yi.
"What's the meaning of this all?" He asked in an angry voice. Zhou Yu stood before Simi Yi and replied "We're here to retrieve the girl. We are not here for anything more." Simi Yi studied everyone for a second before saying "No." "Excuse me?! You can't keep her! She's not property!" Diana said which she practically screamed most of it. Simi Yi turned and faced Diana but she didn't back down instead she stood her place as they were both staring at each other but the atmosphere was intense. He just smirked before saying "Oh but she is property." "WHAT?!" Diana and Brianna screaming at the same time. "If you want her back, you'll have to get her back by force!" He laughed as he shut the gate.
As soon as he said that, Wu and the guards at the gate started fighting. Diana and Brianna got pulled back by Lu Xun "You must stay back! It's too dangerous for you to be here!" "We don't care! We have to get Kimberly back!" As they ran from Lu Xun and went to the gates but they were about to get speared. Luckily, Gan Ning was there and stabbed them in the side while kicking them aside. "What are you doing?!" He yelled at them. "We are going inside! Whether we get hurt, killed or whatever! We're going in!" They both said in unison while trying to open the gate. It wouldn't open but later it did and more people came out weapons out while Diana and Brianna backed away slowly.
"Cao Cao." Zhou Yu said in a cold tone. "Release the girl. We don't want war." The way he addressed Cao Cao wasn't normal but he just laughed. "Why should I? She's quite entertaining!" Cao Cao pointed up and they brought out Kimberly tied up and gagged while struggling. They took the thing from Kimberly's mouth and she screamed "Get out of here! They are planning to use me to make you all surrender! Run!" The guards hit her and she fell on the floor. Diana and Brianna stared in shock before screaming "How dare you hit her?!"
"You fools! I said not to do any harm to her!" Cao Cao yelled at them. "I see how this is now… It'll be war. Be prepared to be the downfall of Wei, Cao Cao!" Sun Ce said as he told his troop to fall back for now. They did but still had their weapons out. The Officers fell back last keeping their weapons in hand before hurrying to get on their horse. Before they left, Zhou Yu turned and said "Do not think you'll have any mercy from us. From what you did and entered Wu territory without permission is unforgiveable. As well as kidnapping the girl to make us surrender. It will not happen." As he and everyone else rode off.
Kimberly was struggling to get up but she managed to. "You'll never beat Wu at this rate." She said as she tried loosening some of the ropes. "Don't you dare make fun of Wei!" One of the guards yelled and landed a kick to her stomach making her fall and tried her best not to cry in pain. 'I will not submit…' She said to herself.
"You fools! We could have made them surrender and not start a war!" Simi Yi yelled. The guards stood frozen and didn't know what to say. Kimberly slowly got up but felt sudden pain again. "Take her to the medical team!" Cao Cao yelled from down the castle walls. The guards were planning to drag Kimberly but Simi Yi pushed them aside and picked her up bridal style instead. "Wha-?!" She began but was cut off be Simi Yi. "I'm only helping you since you cannot walk and the guards will just harm you more." He said sternly. 'Whatever…' Kimberly said to herself.
~~~~~~Time skip to Wu~~~~~~~~~
"How dare they treat her like that!" Diana said as soon as everyone came to a stop to catch their breaths. Brianna clenched her fist but knew she had to control herself. "We'll fight Wei to get your friend back. They have been plotting the downfall of all the kingdoms for some time now. It seems they made their move." Lu Xun said as he got off his horse. "Kimberly has nothing to do with this though! She's…" Brianna began but decided to stop since it won't bring her back.
"We'll do our best to bring her back. Please be patient." Zhou Yu said. Diana and Brianna sighed and decided not to say anymore. 'I just want to go home…' They both thought to themselves but didn't say it aloud as everyone went back to the Palace of Wu.
~~~Time skip to a 2 weeks where the war starts already~~~
"I need to get out of here." Kimberly said to herself. She got up and came up with a plan to escape from here. She smiled to herself before quickly to remember to act. She started to pretend to cry loud enough and make sure some "tears" came out. "What's going on here?!" Two guards came in asking. "I can't… Stand being here… Please let me out! I can't bare it anymore!" She said making sure that it seems she's broken.
The two guards felt bad so they finally decided to say "Alright. Just stop crying please. We'll let you out for a bit." Inside Kimberly's mind, she screamed in victory but she knew this plan might not work. It's worth a try though. The guards carefully walked with Kimberly wondering if they should do anything to comfort her. What they didn't know was that she was going to attack them until they got out the room.
They kept walking until Kimberly knew they let their guard down and decided to jump them. The two guards were in obvious shock and was going to call for back-up but Kimberly knocked them out before they even let out a noise. She dragged them inside the room they locked her in. It took her a while since they were heavy along with the armor their wearing.
'I need to disguise myself or else I'll be caught…' She thought to herself and decided to change her clothes to the one of the guards' uniform. She looked around before locking the room. She smiled knowing that she tied them up just in case they wake up and start banging and yelling through the door. She continued walking until a few more guards were walking through the same hall she was. "What are you doing? There's a war going on!" One of them said slightly loudly.
"I know. I was just checking the girl to make sure she didn't escape." Kimberly said in a woman's voice. "I see. Well then, carry on." And they all carried on walking. Kimberly decided to hurry to go outside and fast walk to the back even though she doesn't know if it is the back of the palace. She still went anyway as she was walking, she heard the guards yell and there was an even bigger up roar. "Dammit!" Kimberly screamed. She began running into the forest.
"Stop there!" One of them yelled. Of course, no one would stop if their running and want to escape this already! She turned and nearly tripped but good thing she didn't. Some of the guards of Wei kept going forward. Some followed her exact footsteps. 'I need to somehow lose them!' She thought to herself. She did another turn and tried not to run into a tree. She finally lost the guards but still kept running anyways.
Kimberly's been running for 10 minutes until she finally opened into the clearing. As soon as her eye sight entered what was going on. She felt like it was World War II all over again. She studied a lot about History and Geography when they made her do a project about the World War II. It was a complete massacre. There was dead bodies lying everywhere and people were still fighting. Kimberly took off her armor and good thing she still kept her clothes underneath too or else, they will think she's a teammate or enemy.
As soon as she took off the rest, she began walking around looking at the bodies to see if anyone is anyone is still breathing but so far, none of them were. As soon as she turned back though, some of the bodies started disappearing. She gapped like a fish opening its mouth. 'Oh… I forgot… WE'RE IN A GAME SYSTEM!' Kimberly said screaming the last part in her mind. No later did some units come in and yelled "An enemy!"
She really didn't want to run again but she had no other choice. Kimberly began running again but this time it was a bunch of archers. They readied their bows and shot at least a dozen arrows were shot into the air and aimed in her direction. Most of them most but one of them got her right side. She slowed down and put her left arm on the wound she got. 'It hurts…' She said in her mind as she looked at her left hand and saw blood. Her eyes widen but she didn't have time to deal with her wound as the archers began to shoot more. This time, one of them got her right arm.
Kimberly didn't stop though. She ran back into the forest and didn't stop until she knew she was safe. She looked back panting heavily from running so much. She didn't see anyone and slide down a tree checking her arm. She knew she shouldn't take out the arrow on her arm but… It's annoying her. She slowly began pulling it and hissed in pain. "I guess, I'll just have to pull it out quickly…" She said to herself. She readied her hand on the arrow shaking badly but managed not to make the arrow move on her arm. She yanked it out and screamed in pain.
She tossed the arrow randomly and didn't care but worry about the blood loss. The blood was staining her shirt and some blood was dripping from her right arm all the way to the tips of her fingertips causing it to drip to the floor creating a small puddle. She stared at it before slowing getting up still hissing in pain but began walking. She gripped her right side and hoped to find a river to clean up the wounds. She didn't walk far though because of the pain and from losing the blood. She slide back down again and checked her arm and side.
The arrow didn't pierce that deep into her arm but it was deep enough. Her side cut was deeper than she thought. It was a huge cut and it stung badly. "No… I can't pass out yet… I can't…" She said to herself as she began to lose conscious. Before she passed out though, a shadow loomed over her. "What are you doing out here…?" The voice said as her world went black.
A/N: Like I said, this isn't based off games. Yes the characters can't bleed since they are in the game and... The other 3 can because they weren't suppose to be in there in the first place so they can bleed. I just don't want it to be like bloody gore. Though, when it comes soon enough, they will get injured and bleed. Thanks for the support! Also, LOVE YOU VALENTINA (Vi-Vi) AND KRISTEN (K-K) :D
