-Chapter One: The Meeting
"Chad!" Shouted the voice of a girl.
"What?" Came the response.
"Can I play X-Box 360?" She asked.
Chad sighed heavily sitting in the living room watching, Balls of Fury, "No."
She poked her head out of her room to look at her brother, "Why not?"
"Because you need the code to play."
"So? You can get up and enter it."
"Emma I'm watching a movie." He stated to his younger sister, while pointing at the TV.
She went back into her room while mumbling, "Yeah that's my point, you can pause a movie."
"What?!" He called after her.
"Nothing, never mind." She closed and locked her door. The whole locking thing was starting to become a habit, thanks to her other older brother Mathew, who always seemed to get mad at her for no reason. She sighed picking up the case to her favorite game, Assassin's Creed. She'd only had it for three months and still needed to finish it. Sixty bucks for something she couldn't even play, because her brothers wouldn't let her. "Man this sucks." She said to her self as she flopped down on to her bed. She rolled onto her back, laid the game on her chest, and closed her eyes. She wasn't that tired, but decided to take a nap anyway. Maybe when she woke Chad would be willing to let her play. She nestled her head farther back into her feather pillow, and slowly but surely fell asleep.
She felt somebody poke her face. She smacked their hand away and mumbled, "Chad stop it." She heard whispering, then silent laughter, then she was poked in the face again.
"Chad I said…!" She opened her eyes and came face to face with a boy that looked to only be about five years old. Her eyes widened and she sat up quickly looking around.
The boy ran away from her and into the arms of a little girl, which looked to be about twelve years old. She figured they were probably brother and sister.
She tore her gaze away from them to look at her surroundings. She no longer was in her room on her bed, but was instead in an alley lying on a cobble street. At one end there were people walking by, at the other end there was the boy and the girl, and a latter.
She looked at the kids again and asked, "Where am I?"
They gave her a horrified look before running into the crowd and disappearing.
"No wait…Ahh…damn it!" She stood slowly, mainly because of her back, and headache. As she stretched she heard her back pop and it immediately felt better, then she did the same with her neck and fingers, cracking them to relive the pain. For only being eighteen she had a lot of joint and back pain. Finally she stumbled to the opening of the alley and looked at the people. They were strangely dressed in brown, white, black, and green robes.
Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "What the heck?"
Some people passing by heard her and turned to stare at her because to them she was dressed funny.
She wore tight fitting jeans that hugged her butt and thighs perfectly, and then changed into slight bell-bottoms. They were a bit too long for her, but she preferred them that way. For her shirt she wore a blood red, shape hugging, short sleeved shirt, with a white hooded jacket that zipped up over it. She had her black and white high top sneakers on, and she checked to make sure she still had all of her jewelry. Her watch on her left wrist was a black digital watch that she got for Christmas when she was fourteen. On her right wrist was a thick piece of black leather that buckled on, and that went up about 3/8 of her forearm. Around her neck she had two different necklaces. One was a choker necklace and it was just a black string that was tied in a way that she could make it as big or as little as she wanted it. The other necklace hung loosely; it was a silver link chain with a little silver cross that had 'Faith' written on it. It had been a gift from a friend three years ago but it was still her favorite.
She looked around and took in her surroundings once more. There were many two-story buildings with flat roofs and a few trees scattered around. The cobble streets were lined with little market stands.
Then it dawned on her, she knew this place, she had seen it before.
"Oh my God!." She whispered turning in a circle. Suddenly she backed into somebody. She turned around quickly, "Oh I'm so sorry…"
"Heretic! You shall die here!"
She had run into one of the city guards, who had unsheathed his sword and swung it at her abdomen. She barely jumped back in time, 'Whoa when I did I start moving so fast?' She thought to herself as she turned and sprinted down the street away from the guard.
"Come back here!" He yelled following her.
"Oh God, oh God, oh God!!" She said to herself. She was on the verge of tears, because of her fear. Then to top things off the crowd suddenly started to thicken, so she could barely move through them. Then she felt a thick arm close around her neck, strangling her.
"Argh…let me go! I didn't do anything!" She yelled.
The guard only tightened his hold.
She growled and jabbed her elbow into his ribs.
He let go and instead grabbed his side.
She then stomped on his foot, and when he bent over to grab his foot, she brought her knee up and nailed him in the face, breaking his nose in the process.
He fell to the ground and she was on the move again. 'Thank you Supernatural.' She thought, referring to her favorite TV show. There were a few fight scenes in it and all she did was copy some. 'Who said TV wasn't educational?'
As she turned a corner she glanced behind her, some other guards had stopped to help their fallen comrade, but two others continued to chase her. She continued running again.
She dodged in and out of the crowd, past alleyways, and hay bails. Then as she paused in front of and alley to catch her breathe, a strong arm circled around her waist, and a hand clasped over her mouth to prevent her from screaming. The person hauled her into the alley.
She grabbed the wrist of the hand that was over her mouth and attempted to pull it off.
The man's only response was pressing the back of her head to his chest, so he could tighten his hold on her mouth. Then when she continued to struggle, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Be still or the guards shall see us."
She stopped but kept a hold of his wrist. She heard the guards coming, then suddenly, she felt the man's arm around her waist tighten, as he picked her up and carried her further into the alley.
