There's a first for everything!

As my father went home to make supper, I stayed with my mother. I was thinking, almost talking, to myself.

"Why did Carcino attack? They're not even a full country!"

"Why were my parents away on a trip that I didn't even know about?"

"Where did Jira go?"

"Why was I so stupid?"

These things swirled around my head like a tornado. When the clock struck 1:00, I decided to go look for Jira. I figured I'd go to her house- "wait… I don't even know where she lives!" I exclaimed. I thought about Jira. Her long dark hair, her beautiful face, and her large breasts.

I suppose I'm a pervert. I actually don't know what that means. A girl called me it once, when I accidentally walked into the girls' restroom. I asked one of my friends what a "pervert" was, he said, "It's a sick person". I guess I'm a pervert, but I need a more in-depth explanation of what that is.

After looking all around town for Jira, I decided to go up to the Carcino Mountains to think. At the summit, I saw a figure lying on the ground. It was Jira! Her shirt was torn to shreds, revealing her chest. I forced myself to look away. I suddenly heard a strange sound. It was a moaning. An ominous, rolling, moan. I was frightened.

Then, out of the darkness, came a large, purple zombie-like creature. My father had told me about these. They were called Revenants. I took out my small pocketknife, and ran toward the monster. I stabbed it in, where I thought the heart would be, and it slowly died.

Then, Jira started to awaken, noticed I was staring at her half naked body, blushed madly, and ran behind a tree.

As we were walking home (I had lent Jira my shirt), I asked Jira, "What's a pervert?"

"YOU!" she yelled, giving me a hard glare. I looked down, shameful. Then, her expression softened.

"I'm sorry," She said. "I'm just not used to…"

"No, I'm sorry" I replied

There was a moment of silence

"Why are your breasts big?" I suddenly asked

"WHAT?" she yelled back, startled by this question. "DIDN'T YOU EVER TAKE HEALTH CLASS!"

"Health class?" I said, in a small quivering voice

"You don't have health class at your school…?" Said Jira, her voice trailing off.

"Apparently not. What is it?" I asked

"It's where you…er… learn about…um… your bodies, and… stuff like that.

"Oh." Is all I said

There was more silence

"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you." I said, again in a small voice

"It's alright, I guess," She said in a softer voice "I want to thank you for saving me, back there."

We stopped to take a rest at some tree stumps

"Oh… you're welcome," I said

Jira moved closer to me

"I would be dead right now, if it weren't for you," She explained

I didn't say anything

"I don't know how to thank you besides…"

She moved in closer, and her lips touched with mine. I was very startled. As she pulled away from the kiss, she was blushing slightly.

"It's getting dark. You can stay at my house tonight," I said

There was a sharp knock at the door. I was sleeping late, because I had been out late last night. My father didn't suspect anything, because when we got home, he was already asleep.

I went to go answer the door. It was a soldier from the castle. "Can I help you?" I said in a weary voice.

"A message to all citizens: All borders to-and-from Frelia have been sealed by soldiers. Nobody may leave, or come in. That is all." The soldier shut the door on himself.
