The Surprised

Chapter one: Questions

"Finally! I did it I beat the game after two days." you giggle happily dancing around the room. Looking at the clock you gasp. "It's fucking 4am!? Damn, I need to go to bed." Yawning, you set the controller down on the nightstand next to your bed. Looking
around the room you couldn't find the TV remote to turn off the TV. "Oh well. I'll sleep with it on." Stretching you take off your shirt and lay down. Though you were happy about beating the game and you wanted to celebrate, you were exhausted. Soon you slipped into a dreamless sleep.

The smell of burning firewood and a cooI breeze woke you. Opening your eyes you were met with sight of trees, clouds, birds, and the sun. Sitting up slowly the lush green grass and flowers moved causing some butterflies and ladybugs to fly away. Where were you? This wasn't your bed or anywhere remotely close to your home. Standing your knees buckled slightly as if you hadn't used your legs for a while. You were still wearing the same clothes you were before. Well, lack the shirt. You needed to find a way home and find out how you got here in the first place. picking a flower you examine it, it was a tiger lily one of your favorite flowers. As you put it in your hair you began walking into the forest that surrounded the field of tiger lilies.

It had been a while since you started walking around the forest, it's beginning to get dark. You've fallen and tripped so many times down hills and rocks. "Hello!?anyone near?! I'm alone and I don't know where I am!" Listening if there was any response you grab a large long stick for protection. Grabbing a branch, putting the stick in your mouth, you pull yourself up. Climbing farther up the tree you find a sturdy branch and lay your legs across it leaning back against the tree. "Thirty minutes. Then I'll go back to making a way home." Only thinly minutes that's all I need you thought as you fell into a deep sleep.

Voices woke you up from the oddly comfortable sleep. "Father this is where I heard the yelling. She said she was lost." That voice sounded so familiar as if you heard it not too long ago. A young boy was talking, you knew for sure.

"There's no one here. Are you sure you heard someone?" This Voice was also familiar; it was a man's voice with an accent.

"Yes, I heard someone." The boy sounded upset.

Shifting as slowly and quietly as you can. You were sure you were going to see them without being detected but you fell. Hitting many branches then the ground a groan slipped out of your mouth. "Ow. My Fucking back." Looking up, your eye met with the boys. "Atreus?" Was all that you could muster up seeing him, kratos, and mimir.

Atreus quickly pulled out his bow pointing an arrow at you. sitting up you put your hands up. "How do you know the boy's name?"

your eyes landed on kratos as you realized that you were shirtless one of the many tattoos that covered your body was the blades  of chaos. Placing your hand over if you struggle to find your footing and words. "what do you mean I do not know his name he just reminds me of an old friend?" That was more of a question than a statement. By the way he looked at you,  you were not convincing at all.

He reached behind him causing you to throw your hands out. "NO!I mean there is no need to be violent, I mean no harm. I just need help home but I don't know how I got here. I'm not from here. "

"Just like father? Are you from a different world?" Atreus seemed intrigued.

"Boy" It was clear that he was not happy with What Atreus had to say.

"No, I'm sorry from where I come from- Nevermind. I need your help. Like a place to stay I'll help with whatever you need help with. I can cook and forage for good plants and spices." You shift slightly and take a step forward.

"Brother let me see here." Mirmis spoke from behind Kratos. Kratos pulled mimir off his be showing you to him. "Maybe she's correct brother look at her she fell off a tree and only has a stick to protect herself from draugrs"

Kratos only let out a grunt before turning around and walking away. "Follow." Atreus smiles and quickly follows with you not far behind.

"What's your name miss?" Atreus turned his head to look at you.

" Hiroshi." you smile at him. Now that you were closer to the both of them you realized you were taller than the both of them. About a foot taller than Kratos.

"Well as you already know his name is Atreus. My name is mimir and the big guy's name is kratos." Looking down at Mimir a smile was plastered on your face.

"Well it is nice to meet you, mimir. And thank you for believing me. I would've died out here by myself. I tripped and fell so many times it is no longer funny, just pathetic." Rubbing the back of your head you laugh, causing mimir and Atreus to laugh.

After the laughter died down a slightly awkward silence came after it. Too afraid to talk, you look around. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Hiroshi's POV
The forest was gorgeous. So much green. Many different herbs caught my eyes as we walked. Not wanting to lose the herbs incase of emergencies I started picking and digging to get what I needed. I need something to hold the herbs.

Narrator? Pov.
"Brother she stopped. I believe She found something." Stopping, he turned watching as Hiroshi pick and pull at plants. She looked around before sighing and standing with the plants she could hold. Looking over her eyes met his, something was different about her. Atreus was already far from the three. Hiroshi gave Kratos a soft smile before walking over.

"I apologize I saw some things that might come in handy for myself and your son. " Hiroshi pulls out aloe vera. "I burn quite easily from the sun and many other things. Aloe should help that." She began to walk kratos not far behind. Though Mimir was suspicious of his companions' change in heart he did not question it. "It also helps keep food longer. It is a nasty feeling and tasting it is very beneficial to any human's health."

"May I ask you something, miss?" Mimir's voice knocked Hiroshi out of her trance.
"Of course and mimir just call me hiroshi or I'm calling you old."

He chuckled. "Alright hiroshi. " mimir then took a pause as if debating if he should ask his question.

"Do not worry about insulting or making me upset at all. I know you mean only well." Hiroshi's words gave mimir comfort in his decision.

"Are you human? I have never in my life seen a human with such green hair and height." Kratos looked up at Hiroshi searching if her next words were true or not.

To kratos and Mimirs surprised she laughed, a genuine laugh. "Mimir. I am as human as a human can get and my hair is not naturally like this well the color."

"Strange. would you believe that brother she's all human, Even with all those markings." Mimir asked Kratos.

"No." As Hiroshi remembered, Kratos always gave such short answers.

Hiroshi laughed again. "They are tattoos mimir. I chose to have every last one of some mean a lot to me and some will now be offensive to the people that live here. "

"And how do you know that?" This time Hiroshi stayed quiet and continued walking. She placed her hand on her side hiding something.

The sudden quietness caused Kratos to raise an eyebrow. Hiroshi is more than she was letting on. It interested Kratos more than he'll admit. Maybe while they help her she might help them. This will be full of surprises.
