Breath taker

Part 30- Min's Story

Hi! So... this chapter kind of goes off topic. I'm writing this story as I go along, following trains of thought and let's just say that the way I'd been going kind of took me to a dead end. This chapter went into Min's backstory, as well as the backstory for the 'Ancient Warriors', Pitch and Lorelai. This chapter is like ten chapters in length because I didn't want to cut it, since it was all backstory. This was not intentional and is probably not going to happen again. Enjoy!

Edit 2: Hi! This is me from the future. This is basically a TLDR if you guys don't want to read 50 google doc pages of backstory on a side character(yes, I checked, Arial, size 11, 48 pages). So here's the basics of this chapter. 

Girl called Mei dies - meets Lorelai. Mei changes her name to Min. They go to Lorelai and Pitch's house. Min starts learning how to kill people - develops a lesbian crush on her new bestie Elizabella. Thousand year slowburn begins. But that's not important cause then Min watches Pitch get possessed while poking evil stuff in a cave for ✨science✨. Anyway, time passes, Pitch is evil now and Lorelai accidentally stabs Min with her scythe. Min is alive for 2.5 minutes again then flatlines but now she sees weird stuff. Min ignores this cause they've got bigger issues and she has to convince her boss that her husband is definitely evil. Lorelai doesn't need that much convincing cause she's already got a thing going with the moon. Lorelai also sees weird stuff too. Lorelai doesn't kill Pitch so while Min and Elizabella are taking a lovely midnight slowburn stroll he decides to take revenge and sends nightmares after them. They try fighting them off but aren't doing so hot then their friends show up to save their buts but they're still not doing so hot. Min escapes but it's literally only her and literally every single Reaper that Lorelai's ever made is now an angry coma ghost. Min is now emo lesbian and crying cause she never got to confess her feelings. Elizabella comes out of her coma ghost state to stick all the angry coma ghosts in the wall and tell Min that they believe in her. A thousands years later Min's not having a good day when the Underworld gets attacked and she almost gets turned into a coma ghost so the coma ghosts come to her rescue. And now we're back to where the last chapter ended.

"Mei." Mei's father said. The young woman looked up from the weaving her sisters, stepmother and aunts were doing.

"Yes Father?" Mei asked.

"Come here child, there is someone I want you to meet." her father turned and walked out of the room. Mei got up and followed her father to the outside of her small home. Outside she saw her father conversing with an older man and a younger one, around twenty, who held a permanent smug expression which made him look like a pig.

"Ah! May I present my daughter, Xhang Mei." her father announced, gesturing at Mei. Mei bowed her head out of respect and shyness. 

"Mei, this is General Xing and his son." her father told her.

"It is a pleasure to meet you sir. What brings you to our humble home?" Mei said.

"You." the general responded.

"Me?" Mei looked up from the floor.

"Yes, you. You see, my son was riding through this village not so long ago and spotted a girl of great beauty. We have been looking for a bride for him and when he returned to say that he'd found a bride, well, I just had to go out and meet this girl. Well, Xiu. Is this the girl you wish to marry?" the general explained.

"Yes father. She will be my bride." the man replied, his voice as piggy as his face.

"Perfect. She is clearly of marrying age, perhaps somewhat past it." the general declared.

"Yes sir, she is sixteen." her father said.

"Well, we'll come by to pick you up within a week's time." the general bid his goodbyes before leaving with his son.
