Ok first off, Let me just say this. You think when your in Soul Nomad world you would just be able to walk onto a map or something like in the game...yeah WRONG! I was lost for days. My feet were hurti- no KILLING me. I was bruised, hungry, cold, and had a huge lack of sleep. How could I get any shut eye knowing that I might wake up with a slit throat! Anyways, I had been wandering aimless for days. Somehow I had gotten stuck in Soul Nomad. A game by Nippon Ichi created that I've played. I know everything about it. EVERYTHING. So you think I'd be fine right? WRONG AGAIN! Guess what I'm doing ladies and gentlemen? Getting chased by wild Phynx? DING DING we have a winner! Your consalation prize is a free pair of socks!
"GET LOST YOU DAMN DOGS!" I screamed while running like a mad women. I don't know why but I was just trying to get this fruit I had saw in a tree, being starved to death I was desperate. It was so beautiful (or atleast to a half starved girl like myself) and so I climbed up to get it. Falling off the tree in the most graceful (Not) way and landing in a pact of wild Phynx, that just so happened to be coming by. And for no apparent reason they started chasing after me!
"You don't wanna eat me! I taste like you! Except with a bath!" I screamed even though I hadn't showered since the last time I was home. Who knew how long ago that was? I missed my footing and tripped on a tree branch. "CRAP!" I screamed and fell and was now rolling down the hill over rocks, sticks, and other painful objects that I mentally cursed. Then finally into an open area. "Hey what the-!"
I herd a male's voice. Sounded like they had an acsent. I slowly got up. There were cuts all over my body. Great. Nor far off I herd howling. "Oh crap!" I shot my head up. I looked to see where I was then I saw infront of me gates to a city. And the guard. "Hey are you ok?" I think I lost my breath for a second. I was at the Astec gates, and the guard was Levin. Then I realized that pack of Phynx were still coming. "CRAP!" I ran over to him and turned. "EH- Yeah I'm kinda being chased by some Phynx!" I exclaimed not even trying to hide the panic in my voice. We looked and saw the pack had followed indeed me. I grabbed a stone and threw it at them. "GO AWAY I'M NOT FOOD! AND I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU SMELL YOU PIECES OF DOG MEAT!" I yelled. I didn't realized how weak I was. My legs collapsed under me. "Hey there! You don't look to good..." Levin came to my side. I smiled weakly, "Well I havn't eaten in a long while...but I'm good."
"Levin. Whats going on?" I herd another person's voice. "Vitali! This chick just came up! I think she's hurt." He called over to his partner. A low growl erupted in my throat, "Do I look like a chick to you dumbass! I am not a baby bird" I yelled at him not liking being reffered to as a chicken. I noticed how weak my voice was. I used the rest of my stregnth to crawl over to the wall. I couldn't make it though. Instead I just collapsed onto the ground. Panting hard. I felt embaressed that I couldn't move any further. Was I that weak? "I'll help her. Take care of the Phynx...which...why are they here?" Levin's partner who I assumed was Vitali asked. Levin pointed at me. "They were following her." he said. If I could I'd have thrown something at him. I wish I could say, "I KNOW YOUR SECRET!" but then I would be killed. Two seconds and he'd wipe out the entire city. As Levin ran off to fight the Phynx Vitali came over to me. "Hang on. You'll be just fine. Whats your name?" He bent over and started healing me. I grew more and more tired. I couldn't take much more. "...it's...-..." I whispered as my eyes shut and my vision engulfed in darkness.
It was warm. Was I in my bed? Tell me I just woke up from a really convincing dream. I felt blankets...but something wasn't right. I didn't hear my parents throwing jack assed remarks at eachother like usual or their laughter. I didn't have a dog sniffing my face or just barking at me. I didn't hear anything. Then there was the smell on these blankets. No. They certainly weren't my spell. I opened my eyes. Just as I thought...not a dream. I sat up and looked around. I was in this really, and I mean REALLY, fancy room. Did I dream my way into a rich guy's house? A lot of things were brown, or a type of it. Chestnut cabinat, a door that led to a small bathroom. I remembered I really needed to-
"A so your awake." I turned my attention to the voice at the door. Green hair, tall, looking happy. Cuthbert. Play it cool. I thought. "Ah- um...where am I?" Smooth dumbass...
"Do you remember what happened?" he asked walking over. I looked down pretending to think. Let's look at my what I don't want to do list:
Get sucked into a game with no clue on how to get back, check.
Get chased by some wild and HUNGRY Phynx, check.
Be called "Chick" and get offended, check
Wake up in a stranger's home, double check
All clear!
I nodded then noticed I was wearing a really taky nightgown. Like the ones old ladies wear. Ew...
"The maids put that on you." he answered. Probably seeing the reaction on my face.I nodded still having much distaste on my face. "I see...so where am I?" I asked ignoring the ugly dress. "Your in the city of Astec." he answered. No really? I thought I was in fricken Kansas! What do you think dumbass! I thought wanting to roll my eyes so bad. "Ok...I remember the Phynx chasing me...then that one guy helped...and the other...Wait! Are they ok!" I asked. I can play innocent bystander like a charm, but I was actually worried. I mean what if they died because of my stupidity? That'd set the game in a whole new direction!
"Oh their fine. From what I herd, Levin had a good time with those Phynx. Vitali brought you here to my brother's home. You've been asleep for three days." Cuthbert explained. I blushed, three days? Serious! I had never slept like that in my life! "Oh my god! Are you serious? I-I'm so sorry! I must be intruding!" I stuttered ready to jump out of the bed and run out of the house. I really was intruding. "No not at all. Here I'll take you to my brother. But you might want to change first." he suggested.
I nodded with no arguments. I mean who would? There was no way I was being caught walking around in an old granny dress. "The maids can help you." he walked out as two twin maids bowed to me. "At your service." they smiled. I waved my hands. "I-It's ok! I can take care of myself!" I led them out and shut the door. They protested but I didn't give two craps. To bad my plans failed.
After I took a quick shower (what I was dirty! It's rude to just go off and be dirty in a rich guys place!) the two had snuck back in and were now forcing me into this girly dress. It was a pale yellow dress that came to my knees. It had no sleeves so I just wore a green sweater with it (the maids got angry but I told them to screw off). I wondered what happened to my other clothes. But didn't press at the matter. Worrying about my pj's wasn't my biggest worry right now. I came out of the room. Cuthbert smiled but I put my fingure up, "I swear if you say anything about me in this dress I WILL hurt you!" I growled. He laughed for a moment. I remembered in the game he laughed alot...I never really did find out why.
"Well then. I've informed my brother and he is waiting in the dinning room." he said and led me to this huge room. It had a long table and lots of chairs. I remembered the room from when I played the game. Whenever the hero went to Christophe's the background picture was the dinning room. Here I was. Standing in that same room. It was more of creepy than exciting. I saw a guy and this maid talking. He was telling her some orders most likely. I realized who this old guy was.
"Why it seems our guest is awake. My name is Christophe." he smiled. I couldn't beileve I was seriously talking to Christophe! This was just insane...and then I smelt food. Holy crap, how my stomach growl. It echoed in the room. "My, it seems your hungry." he laughed with his brother. Man they really were weird sometimes.
"I-I'm so sorry!" I apologized. "Why are you sorry?" he asked now confused. "Well I just barged into your place with a pack of Phynx and take up room in your house! I mean I really didn't mean to! I-It's just-"
"Calm down! You have nothing to be sorry about, you were injured and being chased. And your apoligizing for that? Frankly, in my opinion that doesn't make any sence." he laughed. I smiled weakly. That food. "Please sit you must be-"
I had already beat him to it. Hey when a girl's hungry a girl's HUNGRY!
"Holy crap that was awsume!" I gasped not being able to eat anymore. I expected to have my stomach huge and round like on cartoons but luckily it wasn't.
"I havn't eaten in days! That was amazing! My thanks to the cook." I grinned happily. Feeling new energy bubble up inside of me. Christophe laughed (Yeah, apparently he laughs a lot to?) "Well that explains something. So what is your name?" he asked. I realized...I didn't have a story. What the hell was I going to tell them? "Oh I'm from another world where this is all a game and I suddenly got into it with no choice! Just woke up and here I am! HAHAHA! No I'm not insane!" Yeah that'll get me what...put in a insanasilem? Oh lovely.
"My name is -. And thank you Mr. Christphe for everything." I stood up. He was about to say something when a soldier came in. "Master Christophe Astec is under attack by-" he stopped as a knife went threw his head. I gasped. A theif came in and pulled the knife out of his head. "Hehe, and the guys thought I'd have trouble being by myself. They should know better that the capitain knows best." he said to himself with a sick grin on and walked into the room. The soldier fell limpless onto the floor. A gun was thrown threw the window, as the window shattered the screams and voices from outside could be herd. A maid (that was in the room with us) screeched. Christophe went infront of her. I stood there shocked at what was happening. "What do you want from here?" Christophe asked. I could tell he was nervous. The theif grinned, "Oh nothing special, just all your valuables gramps!"
"Gramps-"
"Now cough em up old man!" he stuck a knife to his throat.
"Astec is surounded with my boys and I killed the few guards here. So you'd better co-apperate or else." he ordered. It was obvious he enjoyed this. It was sickening. I could hear the fighting outside. What should I do? Then I saw the gun. Could I really use it? Then I saw in the corner of my eye the bandit's knife getting way to close to Christohpe's neck. "Better than giving up!" I muttered and grabbed the gun. I aimed quickly at the bandit's leg and shot. He screamed in pain. I shot him in the shoulder as well.
"Why you little-"
"Didn't you ever make a plan before coming in like this?" I walked over trying to stay calm. I was so surprised at how steady I was. My voice was a tad shaky but I did a good job at keeping my cool. It must have been the adrenaline. Also that lives were at stake. The gun felt good to hold. But I didn't want to make a habit of it. I stared at the bandit in the eye. Christophe and the maid went to the side.
I shot the guy's arm. "WHY'D YOU DO THAT!" he screamed in a mixture of pain and rage. "So you won't think I won't take your life. Now stand up or I'll shoot your legs ok?" I sounded like Alice from Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World. I don't know why but I always wanted to talk like her.
I went over to him and searched him. I found a couple of knifes, and another gun. "Sweet! Two guns and a couple of bucks!" I grabbed the money. "Why you-"
"Do you know how many times you said that? Now then Mr. Bandit your the leader right?" I asked. He got a nervous grin on his face, "Yeah...what's it matter to you?" I held a gun to his back. "Well silly I'm going to use you as a hostage! And just incase you get any funny ideas I'll shoot your arms off ok?" I dug my one of my guns sharply into his shoulder blade. It was close enough. "OK OK I'LL GO I'LL GO!" he yelped. "That's a good boy! Now then let's go outside and talk to your friends ok?" I smiled lossing all sense of fear. Thank god for that.
It took a couple of minutes but we got outside. On the way I had quickly tied his arms together. Now we were standing at the front door of the house. It was high up so everyone had a clear view of us. "Now call them off." I ordered with the gun to his head.
He swore then yelled at his men to stop. Everyone looked at the direction we were in. I took a small deep breath then straightened up.
"Ok everyone listen up! We're going to make a deal-" I stuck the gun in his back hard. "You all leave Astec here alone and your boss here doesn't get his freakin' head exploded! And I will reasure you I can and WILL shoot the brains out of him. Now then Mr. Bandit boss, why don't you tell your little pawns to get lost. Or else..." I hissed at him. He gulped when I put the second gun near his throat and held the triggar.
"R-RETREAT!" he yelled. His men looked at eachother. Obviously they didn't believe I wouldn't shoot. Man they didn't know the day I've been having. I sighed then aimed my one gun at another bandit who I knew was a baddy (They wore the same outfit as Mr. Bandit Boss), and shot him. He screamed in horror.
"See everyone? That'll happen to your boss unless you leave Astec alone. Is that understandable? Or do I have to shoot him somewhere else? If you know what I mean." I winked not even trying to hide my laugh. I couldn't believe I was doing this. I don't think my friends would have believed this. What was I? Going to be head mafia some day now?
The bandits ran away. Tail between their legs. Astec guards and other citizens cheered. I let out a sigh and let the guards take care of the bandit leader. I was about to let my legs collapse when people came up to me cheering and saying all these nice things. Um hello people? Did you not see how EVIL I was being? Not just that I had full hard core anger issues there. And I was quiet? Wow I need help after this is over.
"Here miss we'll take those things from you!" one person said looking at my wary face. "N-nah..." I looked at the guns. "I think I'll keep these...just in case..."
