A New Traveler from Another World

A New Hero

I rolled and tossed, struggling to sleep. I force myself up from the couch, only to see that the whole house being dark, and only light source being the moon shining down. I hear a knock on my front door. I jumped from the couch I woke up on. I took the tranquilizer gun in case if it was a bad guy. I took a peak from the window facing the front, but I couldn't get a full clearance. The person knocks again, but a little louder. I unlocked the door and slowly peaked who it was. Then the person started speaking, realizing the person is a female.

Jean: "Hey Y/N, is that you?"

What's Jean doing here this late? I answer her question.

Y/N: "Yeah that's me. What are you doing here this late? Shouldn't you be asleep?"

Jean: "Can I explain in the house?"

Y/N: "Sure, but it better be important."

I fully open the door and moved so she could come in. I closed and locked the door. I finally turned on the lights in the house. Jean sits down on the couch adjacent to the one I slept on.

Y/N: "So what did you want to talk about?"

Jean: "I don't know why, but I felt worried that something bad happened to you, so I couldn't help myself to check on you."

I tried my best to not laugh. Jean notices it.

Jean: "Hey why are you laughing?"

Y/N: "Nothing, it's just that I didn't expect someone like you to check on someone like me."

Jean: "Actually, I'm not the only one that cares about you."

Y/N: "Really?"

Jean: "Yeah. Barbara can't stop talking about how you saved her, Amber talking about how she got to explore your place. Many people in Mondstadt want to know you."

Y/N: "Dang! I I've gotten popular that quick huh?"

Jean: "I mean, you're not from this world, so I'm sure you'd stir some attention."

Y/N: "Wait Ms.Jean can so ask you something?"

Jean: "Sure, and call me Jean please. I feel old when someone calls me 'Miss'."

Y/N: "Okay. So what is your darkest, if not the biggest secret you have?"

Jean stays silence for a moment.

Jean: "I actually don't know if I have one."

Y/N: "Oh come on that's impossible. Everyone has at least one big secret."

Jean: "What about you then?"

Y/N: "I'm not sure if you're ready for that."

Jean: "Then why would you ask in the first place then?"

Y/N: "Let's just skip that question for now."

Jean: "Fine."

Y/N: "So are you just gonna stay here then?"

Jean: "Just for tonight."

Y/N: "There's an extra room right across from my room. You can sleep there if you want."

Jean: "Thanks."

After five minutes of talking we both went to our rooms to sleep. We both said goodnight to each other before closing our doors. I slightly opened the curtains, revealing the dark blue sky filled with small specs of stars. I think about how my family is doing at home. I wonder what their reactions were if they around out I just got into an accident. I miss them a lot, but I know thinking about them won't change anything. I must adapt to this new world. I closed my eyes, trying to fall asleep.
