I flutter my eyes open and I think I fainted ...
"...where am...I?"
My vision comes to focus...
"...woah.....you are gorgeous..."
I see a girl, a really beautiful girl,more beautiful-ler than Victoria's Secret Models...haha...

"Who are you!?.."
She pointed a....machete...??...at me??

"Woah, woah, woah, chill!"
"I come in peace..."
(I show the sign on both hands ✌️)
I glance towards my side and....there is.........no one?...

"Where is-"

"The guy?", she guessed...

She lowered her weapon... slightly...
But she kept her watch on me...

"I couldn't see his face but...I guess..the ropes couldn't hold him...and he dropped down...but, I think, I know him....."

She furrowed her eyebrows...

"Nevermind...he ran off"

"Oh-...."

Okay, that's bad..

"Um...I am Y/n by the way...you?.."

She fully lowered her weapon...maybe she understood I was harmless and stupid...

"Sorry...I have come across many monsters, zombies,etc., So I couldn't trust you at first....
Anyway...I am Hazel...and this..."
(She gestured her eyes towards the gigantic bird behind her eating....stuff....)
"And this is Elikai.."

"Elikai...?...that's not a very common name..why that name?.."

"Haha..his name means 'God is my saviour' or 'saviour'... it's of Hebrew origin. I named him like that because he and I have been together for..maybe..more than a year..if it wasn't for him...I might've gone mental due to solidarity...all my friends left... except me ... "

Her expression became tense...

"That's a cool name...for a sparrow..."

"Huh?... sparrow..?... oh-.. hahahahahahah...he ain't a sparrow.. although he looks like one...to an untrained eye..."

She snickered....I sulked...as if everyone is as informative about species of birds as she is..bleah...

"She is a gigantic form of European Goldfinch... It is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western and central Asia...sorry..haha...I was really interested in zoological science before...."

She became sad again

She became sad again...

"Anyway..so why are you here..?", She asked...

"Oh-...I am a candidate/player and this  is apparently a level I should pass...and the name is- ...WAIT!...A BIRD!...", I exclaimed..

She looked at me in confusion...

"...'Early bird catches the worm...'...it must be talking about Elikai... isn't that making sense...wait..."

I asked her, " Is there any other bird here...?"

She answered," Yea, there is quite a lot...but they are all of our/your opponents...if what your telling Is true...then...I am thinking..we should set out for the hunt soon..."

"The 'Hunt'??"

"Oh...you don't know...the 'Worm'...it's not the animal...it's the virus...for many years..even before me...he has been stopping people from winning  levels and going back home...home..."

Her face reminded me of a sad, lost puppy..

"So, people have been hunting around for that despicable guy"

"Wait, how did you know...that it's a..guy??"

She hesitated a bit...

"I, once, met him ....the 'Worm'...he can be seen as a great friend... trustworthy...but..yea...
When I understood...who he was...I tried to kick his ass out of the game..."

She seemed frustrated...with a hint of sadness in her ocean-like eyes...god...I may have a tiny girl-crush on her.....but I think I know that look ..

"You couldn't fight him... because you liked him... didn't you?.."

She looked away and bit her lip...

"I made a huge mistake...I should have done what was necessary..when I had the chance.."

"You know what...(I have her a 'its okay' smile)...we better get going..hm..lets toss him into the recycle bin and delete him...forever.."

She showed a small smile...

"I would very much like that...
....thanks, Y/n..."

I held her hand, for moral support, and went to catch our ride...
