Chapter 3: Alice?
Axle POV: Well since we got Willow and Silk out on their date, me and Ria got into our own date. We went into the city for our third date. Not very original but Ria wanted to go to a café and bakery she found before. To my surprise, it was small, yet extremely decorated.
(Me) "By the looks of the place, I don't think I can afford anything here."
(Ria) "The prices are on the display." A cup of coffee is 1 emerald and a cake is 6.
"Dang this is cheap! So what do you want?"
"Oh, it's so hard choosing!" I rang the bell, a girl around my age entered from the back.
(Girl) "Hello!~ How may I help you?"
(Ria) "*Gasp* A cherry pie, and a small tea please!"
(Me) "A fruit tart... and small... coffee..." This girl looks familiar... way too familiar... "Do I know you?" The girl was shoulder height, had short brown hair, and a small cut scar on her cheek... The girl gasped and went out the back. She came back out through the door on the side and hugged me.
(Girl) "Numbah sixteen!" She was laughing and almost crying throughout this reunion.
"Um... Hi Alice, how are you?"
(Ria) "Who's this?"
(Me) "An old friend of mines back at camp."
(Alice) "Oh my Notch I thought you were dead. I'm so happy you're alive!"
(Ria) "'Friend' Huh?" She was getting angry.
(Me) "Yeah, she does this a lot..." Ria stormed out of the building. "So about that order..."
(Alice) "Got it!" She ran back into the room and behind the counter. "What was it again?"
"One slice of cherry pie, small tea, one fruit tart, and one small coffee." As she collected the food and packaged them, she was smiling. Maybe she's happy to see an old friend like me. "So how much is it?" She held up a sign that said, "ON THE HOUSE." Geez... and I thought that I was acting childish. [HYPOCRITE] She gave me the large bag containing the food.
"Have a nice day!~" I left the building with the bag in hand in search of Ria. She couldn't go far, but I know where she would be. I just went down a few streets to go to the park. And lucky me, there are three assholes surrounding a bench.
(Asshole) "Hey baby, I'm just trying to help..."
(Ria) "Get the fuck away from me asshole!"
(Me) "Hey bub, when the girl tells you to go away, you better go away." That was a bad idea, all of them looked bigger than me.
(Bastard) "Was that a threat? We ain't doing anything but helping this young lady."
(Me) "That 'young lady' happens to be my girl."
(SOB) "Well you must some sonava bitch to make her cry."
(Me) "I don't think I made her cry. And nice accent, it sounds just as stupid as the speaker."
(SOB) "You wanna go bro?"
(Me) "Yeah, three one way tickets to the nether." That son of a bitch sucker punched me. "I'm going to make you wish you never did that." I sent a fist to his gut and gave him an elbow to the face as a bonus.
(SOB) "You little piece of-" I didn't want to hear the rest of it, back fist for style. I'm pretty sure this scared the shit out of the other 2.
(One of the two) "You fucker!" I got wailed on the head. I felt worse from Willow.
(Me) "*Turning around* Now which one of you assholes -" Punch to the face. Nothing much but rage here. The second bastard swung again and I tackled him instead. While we were both on the ground, I pounded him on the face for I don't know how long.
(Ria) "Yay! Go Axle! *Gasp*" I checked to see if she was okay, but instead of seeing Ria's face, I saw the hilt of a knife. The fucking guard of the knife rammed my temple.
(Me) "Now isn't this fun? COME ON! BRING IT!" The bastard on the ground caught and locked my arms. I'm about to be stabbed, thanks to my damn ego. It's over... The asshole lunged at me. Eyes closed...
...
...
... Why am I not dead? The knife is in my chest... without its blade. I looked at the asshole and found Alice behind him.
(Bastard) "Get the bitch!" The asshole dropped the knife and tried to grab Alice. Alice held up a diamond sword to his neck. Where can I get one? "You think a little girl can scare me?" Not her, me. I slammed the back of my head on the bastard's face and threw him to the asshole.
(Alice) "And I thought you can't handle a fight."
(Me) "Thank a hoard of mobs to teach me how to fight. Now imagine me with my knife..." I reached into my jacket. The two alive idiots picked up the sleeping SOB on the ground and ran for it.
(Ria) "Since when do you ever bring a knife?"
(Me) "I didn't." I felt blood running down on the side of my head. Ria jumped to me and hugged me around my neck.
(Alice) "My house is close by, we should help him there."
(Ria) "I think we can handle walking home."
(Me) "I could bleed to death. We should go." I hugged Ria around her waist and lifted her while going to Alice's house.
(Ria) "NYAA! Put me DOWN! Put me down!" Pretty much she was not enjoying this, I thought it was cute to carry her like this so I put her down. Her face grew red and walked ahead of me. What the heck going on here?
Alice's house was in the café, no wonder why she hangs out back there.
(Alice) "Sorry it's dusty back here."
(Me) "No problem, better than nothing." Ria left the room. "So how've you been since the attack?"
"Pretty good, I ran into this city months ago and the owner was nice enough to give me this job."
"Huh, who knew you'd be doing so well."
"So how about you?"
"Me and 4 other people, including Ria-"
"That girl that left?"
"Yep, went off to the woods and made a small town ourselves. Though we had a loss on the way..."
"On notch who was it?" Ria came back into the room.
(Me) "Oh hi Ri- AAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She had a fucking hot towel to my face. Good news is, I'm not bleeding anymore. The heat closed the gash on my head.
(Ria) "Cut's gone, let's go." She tugged on my arm. "Axle!"
(Me) "Ria? You never acted like this, are you okay?" She was starting to tear up. "We're south west from the city, come visit us sometimes. Okay let's go Ria." I led Ria out of the building. She was hugging my arm way too tightly.
(Ria) "Do you love me?"
(Me) "Of course I would, I wouldn't have saved you if I didn't." At least she's smiling. She kissed me where I got punched. "Ow..."
"I should get you some ice." She ran off somewhere.
(Voice behind me) "Numbah sixteen!"
"Huh?" Alice was running towards me with a bag. She handed it to me.
"Your stuff got smashed in that fight, right? So here you go!" I took the bag.
"Isn't it bad for business?" She shook her head. "Isn't it bad for you to leave your café? You may have a customer." She made a small yelp and ran back. Just as she was out of sight, Ria came with a bag.
"You went shopping when I was gone?"
"Alice gave it to me."
Pouty face much?
And you thought technology makes our lives more sane.
