My Magical Bodyguard

My First Friend

Cristoph: If you're anything thing like me, you know how terrible life is. No friends, no family, no home, i'm all alone. My dad's a millionaire but treats me like i'm a total stranger. He never even lets me into the house. I'm virtually homeless. I try to report him to the police, but he threw away any records he has of me and refuses to do a blood test. I would go to my mom, but she's all the way in Wisconsin and I have no money to go visit her. School isn't any easier for me either. I'm always getting bullied by both the students and teachers. I have good grades, but i'm never appreciated. Not a lot of people even know who I am. If you're anything like me, you know how pathetic my life is. I'm just a waste of space on this planet. I doubt anyone would care if I just dissapeared, it might even be better for me. I could start a new life and hopefully get the life I always wanted. What've I got to lose, there's no harm to anyone if I tried. I think it's a risk willing to take. How bad could it be?

As Cristoph is walking down the road, he spots a sharp rock, picks it up, and walks to a bridge. He steps on the ledge of the bridge and holds the rock to his neck.

Cristoph: Good bye world, no longer must you deal with Cristoph Thompson

He slits his throat completely and falls off the bridge. As he's falling, he looks at the sky and sees a bright white light coming really close to earth. At first, he thinks it's the light everyone sees when they're about to die, but this light comes crashing into the bridge.

Cristoph: Wh-what was that?

He finally passes out and falls into the water. He wakes up a few hours later in a hospital bed. He gets up quickly and looks around frantically.

Cristoph: How did I get in here? Last thing I remember is that bright light crashing into the bridge. But I was falling......

Cristoph's eyes widen as he gasps and he put his hand around his neck. He feels his neck for a mark from where he cut himself but can't feel anything.

Cristoph: There's nothing, not even a scar. Must be a really good hospital.

Cristoph gets out of bed and walks towards the bathroom door. He opens it and sees a girl inside sitting on the toilet.

Girl: Hmm? Oh hi, you're finally awake.

Cristoph just stares at her as his face turns bright red. He slams the door shut.

Cristoph: Sorry! (He starts panting) Hold on, why is a girl I don't know in my hospital room using the bathroom? Hey!

Cristoph opens the door violently.

Cristoph: Why are you--

He sees her pulling up her skirt and blushes even more. He slams the door and apologizes again. He hears the toilet flush and the girl opens the door. He turns to look at her when the girl pulls him in the bathroom and locks the door. She throws Cristoph on the ground and strips naked completely.

Girl: My my, is the little boy embarrassed to see a beautiful girl naked? I don't mind if you look at me. You can even touch me, as long as you're gentle. Come on now, be a big boy. Don't be so shy.

She grabs his head and pushes it against her chest.

Girl: Come on, it feels good doesn't it? It feels good for me.

After a while, she hears him snoring.

Girl: Uhh....... How do you fall asleep in the middle of this?!?!?

She gets up with a confused look on her face and stares at him for a while. After a few seconds, Cristoph gets up and bolts out the door. The girl just stares out the door and smirks. She gets dressed.

Girl: *walks toward Cristoph's bed* So, now that you're awake, who are you?

Cristoph: YOU'RE IN MY ROOM SO YOU SHOULD KNOW WHO I AM! NOW TELL ME WHO ARE YOU?!?!?

Girl: Welp, i'm glad you asked! I'm a Perigrafic girl, here to fulfill my destiny as a.....as.....a.......... *silence* I don't know actually. I'll choose my destiny some other time but for now, do you know where I can get some food? I'm starving.

Cristoph: There are several things wrong with this image. First of all, what's a Perigrafic girl? Secondly, why are you in my room? Third of all, how is there not even a scar on my neck? And finally, why am I alive?

Girl: Oh, well, a Perigrafic girl is me. I came from one of the many moons that orbit jupiter. We Perigrafic girls inhabited all the moons, about 50 of them I think. Each of us has a unique power we must master. To master this power, we travel to different planets around the universe and chose a destiny that relates to our power and, as you can tell, Earth is the planet where I will fulfill my destiny and master my skill!

Cristoph: Great....... what's your power?

Girl: Hmph, i'm glad you asked *giant introduction* I am a skilled assassin

Moment of silence

Cristoph: *on the phone* Hello, police? There's a Perigrafic serial killer in my room, please come immediat-- hello? Hello?

Girl: DON'T CALL THE COPS ON ME!!! They won't believe you anyway. I'm in here because I brought you here. I saw you drowning when after I crashed to earth....

FLASHBACK: (The Perigrafic girl is standing on the ledge of the bridge) Hmm. So this is Earth. It's a pretty big place. *looks down and sees a red puddle* Hmm? I thought water was blue. (She jumps into the red-colored pool and looks around. She sees Cristoph bleeding from the neck and rushes towards him.) *Girl talking in present day* You were barely alive so I used my healing powers to seal your wound and I brought you to the surface. You were unconscious so I brought you here.

Cristoph: Hold on, I thought you only had one power?

Girl: Each Perigrafic has 3 default powers. Power to heal others, power to sense danger, and power to give one person a power of my choice, but don't think i'm gonna use that on you, I only have one shot at that. Does that answer all of your questions?

Cristoph: No, one more; why did you decide to save me. I mean, you come down to Earth to choose a destiny or whatever but you decided to save me instead. You saw me almost dead, why didn't you just let me die?

Silence

Girl: *angry, serious expression* Because I had to. *Cristoph lets out a small gasp* It's a long story, but I can't let myself see anyone be a victim to a murderer. I.....just...can't.

Cristoph: Wait, you don't understand, no one tried to kill me, I tried to ki--

Cristoph's eyes widen as he sees the girl start to cry.

More silence

Cristoph: Thank you, i'm glad you were there to save me.

The girl immediately gets a lively look on her face and starts to smile.

Girl: Thank you. *brief silence* Okay, now that I answered your questions, answer mine; where can I get a decent meal around here?

Cristoph: This is a hospital. There should be a cafeteria on the bottom floor.

Girl: Then what are we waiting for! Let's go!

She heads toward the door and stops right in front of it. She turns around.

Girl: By the way, I never caught your name.

Cristoph: My....my name? I thought you knew it already.

Girl: Nope, this is the first time we're meeting.

Cristoph: (Sarcastically) What a pleasant way to meet you.

Girl: So.....?

Cristoph: I'm Cristoph. Cristoph Thompson

Girl: *chuckles* Nice to meet you, Cristoph.

Cristoph's eyes slowly widen and glisten as the girl holds her hand out towards him.

Cristoph: Yeah, it's nice to meet you too. (He smiles and grabs her hand)
