"How much longer until I can go back?" I asked
"IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. FROM THERE, YOU WILL HAVE TWO HOURS LEFT UNTIL YOU MUST LEAVE"
I sat back in my cell. The room wasn't large but it didn't feel cramped either. The door that I came in from, opened up. The man who kidnapped me walked through. He walked past the cells and stopped at mine. He said something to me, then sat next to the cell door. I guess he's on guard duty.
We sat for a good five minutes just sitting in silence. He finally broke the silence with his movements. He reached towards his pocket and took out a photo. He started a one way conversation with me. I couldn't understand any of it.
I got curious about what the picture was of so I scooted closer to where he was sitting. He saw me take an interest in the photo and kindly moved it to my view.
The picture was of this man standing close to a boy who looked like a younger copy of him. Is it his son?
I looked past the two boys and at their surroundings. There was a small house in the middle of a field. Their home?
He started to talk again. Still couldn't understand anything. I guess this is good for my translation experience to go up though.
He spoke with so much emotion as he pointed to different parts of the scenery. Especially when he was talking about the boy. Time flew by and another guard came in. He and the guard next to my cell, let's call him Pika. Why? Cause why not? Pikachu is a good pokemon. Anyways, the guard and Pika spoke for some time. Whatever it was must have been bad because Pika started yelling and waving his hands. I got worried when he turned back at me and gave me a guilty look.
The new guard opened the gates and he put some rope on my hands, then pulled me out of the cell room.
The leader was in her throne and in the middle of the room was a guillotine. Ya know, one of those machines that chops off heads.
I panicked and flailed around as the guard pushed my head towards the guillotine. As he spoke to his leader, Pika was interrupting him and trying to convince the lady to stop all of this. That's what I'm guessing anyways. But it was no use. The woman raised her hand and both men stopped speaking. She said something to me and waved her hand at the guard.
As the guard pulled on the rope, my life flashed past my eyes.
I had always been a quiet girl. Never spoke up. Never really got close to anyone. To be honest...it was lonely. I didn't do much with my life. The only entertainment and joy was my job. The job that my ex made me quit. That's a whole other story. Anyways...I realize that I didn't do anything with my life. Not in this life and not my original life.
The man let go of the rope. And as the sword swooped down, time slowed down. I wasn't sure if it really did but it sure felt like it.
I don't want it to end yet.
Not yet.
No…
SLASH!
My eyes instinctively closed as I waited for the pain.
Nothing
I opened my eyes to see everyone staring with shocked faces.
Oh God! Is my head rolling around on the ground or something??? Eww!!
I moved my head and felt something heavy at the nape of my neck. I reached up to lift it and removed my head from the guillotine. Oh good. My head is still attached to my body. Oh...right. I'm already dead. The guillotine bounced off my neck. Yeah that would be surprising.
Eh he...that was embarrassing. I acted so dramatically to...
"NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO ESCAPE" Carr said
"Yep" I turned and walked out the door. That was surprisingly easy. The door busted open as the guards chased me.
I spoke too soon.
I ran as far as I could with a group of guards right on my tail.
*I can run as far as I want right?* I asked Carr
"SINCE YOU CANNOT GET SORES OR FEEL PAIN, I WOULD SAY YES"
*Okay*
We ran for a long time. I ran in and out of alleyways but couldn't shake them off. I eventually ran into a corner. That was expected.
*Shit! What am I going to to now?*
"YOU KNOW YOU ARE ABLE TO LEAVE, RIGHT?" Carr asked
"I do now" I said
I thought about the house in the god realm and my wanting to be there. The guards faded away and I was back in the cave.
I sighed.
"I AM GUESSING WE SHOULD TAKE THAT PLACE OFF OUR VACATION TRIP?"
I laughed "oh no. That is going to be the first place we visit"
"...EH?"
