We're baaack! Fast update to make up for the shortness of the last chapter. And we introduce our third quest member – Roxy! Congrats to Justrockzyxxx for getting her character chosen!
Disclaimer: Chelsea belongs to me, Reece belongs to Hugs and Roxy belongs to Justrockyzyxx
Reece's POV:
I woke up by having cold Dr. Pepper poured on me. My bag had been packed, with all the wrong things, and two people were standing over me. One was Chelsea, the other I didn't know.
"That was totally her idea," the one I didn't know said, with a slight accent.
"Um... Thanks, Chelsea, you could have at least picked a soda I liked." My hair was all sticky now... Chelsea smirked at me.
"You wouldn't wake up. Come on, we have a quest." She sounded dangerously ticked off, so I said nothing else.
"What's our quest?" I finally had to ask the stranger.
"There's a mechanical dragon terrorizing Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. I'm Roxy, by the way." Pennsylvania... Hmm... Pennsylvania.
"Can we go to Hershey Park while we're in Pennsylvania? I want to get one of those Reese's Cup hats because of my name, you know?" Roxy laughed. Chelsea glared. I should stay off her bad side more... Which will be hard, because I'm already permanently on it.
"Shut up Reecie cup." Her scowl deepens and I think I can see some insecurity in her eyes, but I say nothing. As we walk in dead silence I dig through my bag, tossing out things I don't need as we go. The only things I keep is a Cincinnati Reds baseball hat (Awesome team), two changes of clothes, my dagger, a deck of cards, and the mini turtle pillow pet somebody considerate put in. Most people wouldn't take those things on a quest but...
"Pick a card, any card," I tell Roxy, facing her and walking backwards. She takes a card and I'm about to make a guess when suddenly I sprawl backwards and am looking up at the sky, slightly alarmed, cards flying everywhere.
"Watch where you're going, dork," Chelsea tells me, pulling me up with another scowl. There goes my cards... I wonder what other things she'll cause me to lose on this quest. Sanity appears to be one of them.
Hope you enjoyed! The quest is really about to take off, so stay tuned for more. Thanks to all who submitted a character!
