You guys make me so happy. You really do.

I CANT BELIEVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY PUT MY STORY ON THEIR FAVORITES. THANK YOU, ALL YOU AWESOME PEOPLE.

I ALSO THANK MY AWESOME THREE REVIEWERS. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.

ALSO HAVE YOU NOTICED I LIKE CAPS A LOT? IT MAKES EVERYTHING DRAMATIC.

Okay, backing off the caps. Sorry that this was so late, but I was having one of my usualy laziness bouts. That, and I kept getting randomly distracted by this vid here:

.com/watch?v=W_1v-16kt3s&feature=feedf

It's so random and stupid. :3

Also, I've been busy scaring the shit out of myself by playing Silent Hill 2, which is a very awesome game. I just wish Pyramid Head would stop randomly appearing out of nowhere. Here's an example of my problem with that.

Me: *on hospital roof, just figured out that I can't get off* What the hell? Why can't I-

*random screeching noise from behind*

Me: YARGH! PYRAMID HEAD!

…Yeah, I'm a frikkin' wuss.

Now, to respond to the next batch of reviews before I forget:

Sylph Writer:

Me: Yes, Letha, make fun of Cassie being in jail. I hope you're prepared to face her wrath, though.

Cassie: *evily plotting as we speak* Hehehe…

Me: …Yeah, ignoring you for a minute. I'm gonna clear up the whole issue of 'how she got here' in this chapter, along with revealing this 'X' person that was mentioned.

Cassie: Yes, please do, so I can figure out WHY I'M HERE.

Me: Shush you! Go back to your plotting.

Cassie: Meh.

Angelic:

Yes, I DID fix the way that my character enters the storyline. It's better than the whole 'got zapped by the console', but I made it all mysterious. *shifty eyes*

…And what's up with the whole 'I sheeeeeeee' at the end?

Gongondemon6:

Thank you for saying so! Her thoughts make me laugh too, so it's good that it makes someone else too.

Also, I'm sorry the way that she entered seemed bland to you. Trust me, it's just because I didn't explain it. When I DO explain it, it might make more sense. And be a little more exciting.

And yes, I do plan to put her through even more stuff. Don't worry about that!

Cassie: Damn.

…damn, this is a long author's note.

Also, first fight scene in here YAAAAAY. Hopefully, I wrote it well, but I'm not counting on it. D:

Chapter 3: Not My World

Okay.

Seriously.

This is pissing me off.

Why the hell…do I know this place?

I'd say it's been about…ten minutes? Yeah, about ten minutes since we've left the dining room. Since then, the three of us (me, the Yuri guy, and the girl in the dress) have been sneaking around through hallways, hallways, and more hallways. I'm pretty sure this Yuri character got lost a few times, which is why so many hallways were involved in our sneaking.

Any knights that we did run into (whether by accident or on purpose) were knocked out by said person mentioned above. However, I did manage to knock one out on my own when he started running at me. However, all I did was scream and whack him over the head with my sword (which was still sheathed, by the way). So if you were expecting me to become some sort of awesome badass at that moment, I'm gonna have to disappoint you.

However, while we were…sneaking, I couldn't stop the constant feeling of déjà-vu running through me. And it's driving me nuts, because I swear to god, I have seen this place before! I don't know how, since I've never been in a castle before, but I HAVE! It's making me insanely P.O'ed.

Also, I'm still completely achy from when I woke up earlier, much to my confusion. I must have been hit really, really hard, because I'm aching from head to toe. My head hurts, my chest hurts, everything hurts. I feel like a giant walking bruise.

So, basically, I'm not in the best of moods right now. I'm achy, I can't figure out why I know this place, and also, it's three in the morning. Which is one of my most hated times in the world.

I could probably bite someone's head off right now.

Trying to avoid randomly yelling my frustrations, I take a look at the two people walking ahead of me. As we walked, I sort of ventured to the back, so they can't exactly see me staring at them. These two…they look kind of odd, now that I actually look at them.

The pink-haired girl looks like some sort of noble, mainly due to the dress she's wearing. It's one of those dresses you would usually find a princess wearing. It's this light sky-blue, with gold trim and white undergarments, from what I can see. Also, the way she walks…it just screams nobility.

Now, this Yuri guy…he's the complete opposite. At first glance, he looks like a shady guy. I mean, with the dark hair, clothes, and pale skin…he just looks like one of those guys you're most likely to meet in an alley somewhere. I'll reserve my opinion until later, but…it still bothers me. What also bothers me is that he carries around a sword. I mean, I have a sword and all, but that was just forced on me by that weird X guy.

Also…why a sword? Why can't these people just carry around guns and crap? Why go with swords and lances? It just goes to unsettle me more and more, because people in the U.S don't just go carrying around swords and lances.

…Unless they're cosplayers. However, that's not the issue here.

"Yeah, it was somewhere around here…"

I'm snapped out of my thoughts when the dress-girl speaks up, and I notice that we've stopped in the middle of the grand hallway we're in right now. When I glance at her, I see that she's looking around, obviously trying to find something here. What it is, I don't know.

While she looks around, I see Yuri point to the left, towards a door right next to her. "This is Flynn's room."

…I don't think she heard him, as she keeps looking around, before then spotting the door next to her. Then she looks away, and kind of nods to herself, like she's thinking something over. I hear Yuri sigh next to me at her actions. I take this opportunity to ask a question.

"Who's Flynn?"

"Eh?" He looks over to me, then off to one side. "Ah, just someone we need to find before we leave."

"…Riiiight." I say slowly, then jerk my head in the direction of the door. "So, should we go in? I'd like it if we could leave as soon as possible."

"You're not the only one." he mumbles, I'm guessing to himself, but I hear it since I'm next to him.

"Right then." I mumble, then I walk up to the pink-haired girl, tapping her shoulder with my free hand. When she turns, I point over to the door. "Are we gonna go in? You wanted to find this Flynn guy, didn't you?"

"Oh! Yes, of course.", she replies, nodding her head. She then walks over to the door and lightly raps her gloved knuckles on the hard wood. "Flynn? Are you in there?"

Silence. She knocks a second time. "Flynn?"

Silence again. I hear Yuri sigh again, then I see him walk up to the door and grab the doorknob, opening the door with a click.

The girl turns to him. "What are you doing? We can't just barge in!"

He looks to her, raising an eyebrow. "Well, he's not answering anyway. Might as well go in." Excellent reasoning. And in we do go!

Well, it's pretty dark, that's the first thing that I can say. The room is a dark contrast to the brightly light hall, yet it still feels welcoming, for some reason. Also, it's a pretty spacious room, so we're not cramped up together. I opt to stay near the corner of the room, next to a wardrobe of sorts. From the light coming through some windows on the far wall, I see Yuri walk towards a desk in the other corner of the room. The pink-haired girl stays in front of the door.

It's pretty silent in here, and it takes me a second to realize why. When I look around, I realize that us three are the only ones in the room. Whoever they we're looking for, it looks like he left.

So, basically, we sneaked all the way over here for nothing.

Damn.

"He's really keeping this place cleaned up…" I look over to Yuri, and I see that he's looking around the room. "Flynn must be off gallivanting around somewhere."

Next to me, I see the girl slump visibly. "Then…that means I'm too late." Oh, she looks so disappointed. She must have really wanted to see this guy.

"D-don't worry!" I start, gaining the girl's attention. "I'm sure he'll be back soon enough. You can tell him then!"

"But…" Eugh, I don't think that helped. She still looks all sad.

I look over at Yuri when I see him move, turning to look at the girl next to me.

"So, what sort of wickedness did you do anyways?" he says, placing a hand on his hip. I raise an eyebrow at his comment, also looking to the pink haired girl. Wickedness? She doesn't look like she would do anything bad.

"Me?" she responds, a confused expression on her face. "I haven't done anything wrong."

"And yet a bunch of knights were chasing you around the castle." Eh? They were? "…Yeah, that makes sense."

I point at myself. "Well, there were knights chasing me around, and as far as I know, I didn't do anything."

He looks over at me, and in the light, I can see a sort of sarcastic expression. "Besides sneaking out of the prison, you mean?"

"…Okay, you got me there."

"Heh." Oh, shut up, you.

"Um…" And there's the girl again. Seriously, I need to know her name. It's bothering me. Looking to her, I see that she has her hands clasped in front of here. "You see…Yuri!"

He looks over at her sudden shout. "Whoa…what is it?"

Now she looks all determined. "I can't be specific, but Flynn is in terrible danger!"

…Is that why she was looking for him? Was she trying to warn this Flynn-guy?

Of course she was, you nimrod!

I jump at the sudden voice that comes out of nowhere, which scared the shit out of me. I can hear a conversation going on between my two companions, who didn't see me jump, but I'm ignoring them for now, as I am trying to find the voice. However, we are the only ones in the room.

..I think my mind has finally snapped from all the events of this morning. I'm hearing random voices out of nowhere, and that's never a good sign.

"…least help me get out of the castle?"

Right, focus. I turn towards my two companions, and see that Yuri is now sitting on the lone bed in the room. The girl in the dress is standing in front of him, and as I watch, she dips into a small bow, hands clasped in front of her.

"Please, I'm begging you."

Yuri stays stoned faced for a second, before giving a short sigh. "…Okay, I can see you're serious, but…why don't you tell me your name first?" Yay, do we get to learn her name now? Because I'm really tired of just calling her the girl in the-

I give a short scream, along with the (still unnamed) girl, when the door next to me is suddenly kicked in with a bang. Startled, I run over to the now standing Yuri and the girl, keeping my eye on the now open door. A few seconds later, a figure walks into the room.

As soon as I lay eyes on this guy, something inside me head tells me to run. He has two medium sized knifes in his hands, each one a mix of black and red markings. His outfit freaks me out too. It's a sort of…jumpsuit thing, with a shit load of belts over his torso and arms. I'm not even gonna comment on his face, because the look he's giving us is freaking me out. Oh, and his hair's three different colors. Why I decided to point that out, I have no idea.

All in all, this guy looks like a freak.

He throws his head back, staring at us like a predator would his prey. "Prepare to fall victim to my blade…"

Whoaaaa, creepy. I sort of back behind Yuri, who's paying no attention to the sudden intruder. That seems to piss him off, because he suddenly slashes at a vase on the shelf next to him. The dark-haired man next to me glances at him then, an eyebrow raised.

"Haven't you ever heard of knocking?"

The man slowly shifts into some sort of stance. "I am Zagi…the man who will end your life. Now die, Flynn Scifo!"

Before I can react at all, this Zagi guy just lunges at Yuri, knifes raised. I yelp and run to the right when Yuri catches them with his now unsheathed sword, and then the battle really begins. As I watch, this Zagi dude slashes and kicks at Yuri, who also begins to attack.

Now, I did say that this was a pretty big room, right? However, I didn't say it was big enough for two people to brawl in. Which it isn't. So, I'm left to run around in some random direction, along with the other girl, when the two fighting men start to get too close for comfort. I finally find a place behind the headboard of the bed, and as I hide there, I manage to catch a conversation between the fighting duo.

"You got the wrong guy!" That would be Yuri.

"Die!" …and that would be the Zagi dude.

"You really should listen a little more!"

"My name is Zagi. Remember it well, Flynn."

"Listen, I'm not Flynn!"

"Heh, aw, what's wrong?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I'm gonna kill you, and carve your name into my blood." …What?

"…Yeah, that's pretty disgusting." That's just what I was thinking Yuri. However, I don't get to hear anymore of their discussion, because at that moment, Zagi decides to get a liiiiiitle too close to me. Of course, being me, I decide to do the first thing that pops into my head.

Unfortunately, that thing is to whack the (possible homicidal) man over the head with my still sheathed sword.

Which then focuses his attention on me.

Fuck.

Before I can move out of the way, the Zagi guy grabs a hold on the front of my jacket-oh my god what's he gonna go holy crap why is he lifting me up-

Soaring over his head straight for the WALLHOLY SHIT IM GONNA-

CRACK.

Everything fades to black.

"…Nngh."

Ugghghh…my freakin' head…that hurt like hell. Stupid guy…throwing me at the wall like that…I'm gonna kick him the next time I see him.

"Don't you think it's about time you woke up?"

My eyes snap open at the sudden voice, but I shut them again when a blinding pain goes through my skull, and I'm left to hold my head and swear in pain. Okay, let's try that again…open my eyes slowly this time. Carefully, I manage to do so without making my head hurt anymore, and I look around.

…

…What the hell?

I'm…not in that room anymore. But I don't know what this place is either. It's nothing but…white. I can feel solid ground underneath me (and I realize for the first time that I'm randomly standing.), but I can't see it. It's just white space. Why am I in white space?

"You're going to give yourself a headache trying to figure all this out."

"HOLY-" I shout, looking all around in the white space. It's that random voice again! Where's it coming from?

"I would appreciate it if you wouldn't shout…and I'm behind you, idiot."

What?

Thoroughly confused (for the hundredth time today), I turn around. Sure enough, someone is standing behind me. Someone that I don't recognize.

A guy, possibly only a little older than me, stands about…seven feet away from me, with his arms crossed in front of him. He's wearing a large trench coat of some sort, colored a sort of silver-white, that ends just above knee-level, with the rest of his legs covered by black pants and dark brown combat boots. He has long, solid black hair that sprawls over his shoulders, and he's got these…unusually bright green eyes, which are filled with annoyance right now.

"…Who the hell are you?", I ask, turning to face him. He doesn't look like anyone I know, that's for sure.

He raises an eyebrow at me. "Excuse me, but I would ask you to not speak to me in such a rude tone."

…Wow, weird voice. It sounds all echo-ey and shit. Kind of creepy.

I just glare at him. "Why should I be polite with you? I don't even know who you are." I wave an arm in the air. "And what the hell is this place?"

"This place, as you would put it," he begins, gesturing the air with one hand, "Is your sub-conscious. I brought you here when you were knocked out."

My…subconscious? That's kind of freaky…I mean, does that mean that I'm in some sort of dream-wait, brought me here?

"What do you mean you brought me here?" I ask. "What are you, my actual conscience?

"No. I am not." he replies, sounding a little pissed. Jeez, dude, what the hell did I do?

"No need to get so mad, I'm just asking a question." I tell him, crossing my arms. "I've been through a lot the past hour or so."

"Honestly, I could care less at this point." Fine, be that way, jackass. "I have been needing to speak with you for a while."

"What? Why?" I point at him. "I don't even know you! Why the hell do you need to speak with me?"

"It relates to your current situation." he seethes, "If you want answers to where you are, then I would suggest that you hold your tongue."

That causes me to freeze. He…knows? Where I am? How I got here? Why the hell didn't he show up earlier? I could have figured this out before I got slammed into that frikkin' wall!

"Are you listening?"

"Of course I am!" I shout at him, a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. "If you know about what the hell is happening to me, then tell me! I need to know!"

He just huffs at my loud response (which is now echoing in this weird space). "No need to shout. I am right here, you know."

Silence follows, then he speaks again. "The first thing that I should probably tell you is, I was the one who brought you to your current location."

"You? You brought me here?"

"Correct. Before you go on one of your rants again, I will tell you that I have a reason for that. I just can't tell you at the moment."

Ugh. Asshole. "All right, mind if I ask you another question, then?"

"If you must."

"Just who are you?" I ask, giving him a look. "It would be nice to know the name of the person who brought me here against my will."

"I have no name." he replies, crossing his arms. "That is because I am not exactly human, like you."

"You…aren't human?" Well, isn't that a twist? "What exactly are you, then?"

"I am a spirit, of sorts. I'm no ghost, but I do possess magical qualities. That is how I was able to bring you here."

Oh, great. I'm talking to a nameless, magical spirit in my freakin' mind. I'm starting to think I might be going slightly insane here.

"Okay…" I start, rubbing a hand over my face in frustration. "If you don't have a name, can I give you one? Just so I have something to call you?"

"If you must. Just don't call me something idiotic."

"Yeah, yeah, let me think." I look towards the ground, thinking. What should I call him…ooh, I got one. I look back up to him. "…You look like a Demitri. Mind if I call you that?"

"I don't mind."

"All right then, Demitri…where am I?" I sort of wave my right hand in the air. "Last I checked, people don't just wake up in random prison cells." I flop my arm back down, and I see the newly dubbed Demitri give me a look. I can't describe it…but he looks confused.

"You still don't recognize the area?" He pauses, then looks like he's thinking to himself. "…That would make sense. You didn't see too much of it, so you wouldn't recognize it at first glance."

"Um, hey." I point at myself. "Still here, Y'now. What are you talking about?"

He looks back at me, giving me a searching look. What now? "Tell me, girl…" He's gonna get smacked for that. "Did you feel something…familiar when walking around the castle?"

My mind snaps to my constant deja-vu feeling. "Uh…yeah. Why?"

"Why do you think that was?"

"I have no idea! It's not like I've ever been in that place before. I've never even been near a castle!"

"I never said that you were." Silence follows, and he gestures towards me with a hand. "You may have never been near a castle…but that doesn't mean that you haven't seen one before."

"Well, yeah." I reply. "But that was the Disney Castle. And if you haven't noticed, that place is nothing Disney."

"And what of the two people that you met? Didn't they seem familiar to you?"

…How the hell does he know all this? How I thought everything that I saw was familiar to me…why was that? I recognized that castle. I recognized Yuri and that girl. too. And now that I think about it, that Zagi guy was familiar too! I just didn't know it at the time, since he was attacking us.

"Think back to when you were at your home. What happened before all this?"

When I was at home? I already know what happened there! I got home from school, went to play Assassin's Creed, and there was another game in. I don't see what that has to do with any-

…the other game.

Holy shit.

My mind flashes back to the image on the TV screen. Whenever you play a game on the Xbox 360, the screen shows an image of the game that's in the console. That game that was in…there was an image of two people.

Now I realize why I found that guy so familiar.

One of them was…Yuri.

Oh god.

"Figured it out yet?"

I'm in a video game?

A video game?

No way. That…that's impossible! P-people don't just get randomly sucked into video games! It's not possible! This…this has to just be some sort of dream. Just an insane dream that I need to wake up from.

"I can assure you, girl, this is no dream."

"But that doesn't make any sense!" I scream at him, near hysterics. My mind registers that he somehow know what I was thinking, but I ignore that fact for now. "You can't just get sucked into random games! That stuff only happens in frikkin' fan fiction!"

But…that doesn't explain why I knew that place…and why I thought it was so familiar. It was familiar…because I had seen it before. From watching Stormie play the game. But…why me? Why the hell did I have to get caught up in this. I never even played the damn game! How the hell am I going to survive here?

I place my head in my hands and groan. What the hell have I gotten myself into?

URGH DONE CAN I DO SOMETHING ELSE NOW?

I'm happy that the stupid OC finally figured out that she's in a video game. Now the fun can really begin.

If anyone wants me to rewrite this chapter, I would be happy to do so, because I think I messed up somewhere in here. If not, then that's fine. I just think that I messed up.

Hopefully, the next chapter will come a little sooner.

Next Time: Talking to a dude in my head
