A FOOLS GAME// RDR AU.

01

21 April 2022.

"Deeanna, you should definitely try out this game. I began playing it and I'm hooked already!" My boy best friend Jack said through the phone that was currently held up to my ear.

"Oh Jack, you know I don't play those silly video games, unlike you" I said.

"Deeanna, this game is life changing, I promise" Jack would persuade.

"Life is changing my ass" I mumble.

"Oh don't be like that Dee" he said in an annoyed tone.

"Fine. I'll play it, what is it called?" I asked.

"Red Dead Redemption two." He answered.

"How much does it cost?" I asked

"I don't know? Maybe thirty bucks?" He said, not really knowing himself.

"I swear, this better be worth it Jack" I warned.

"Well, gotta go, speak later" he said before hanging up.

I sigh and turn my console on, I go to the  app store and begin to search the game. It instantly shows up.

"Two hours?!" I mutter clearly shocked at how long it would take to download.

*SHORT TIME SKIP*

I looked back up at the screen in front of me for the first time in two hours.

'game successfully downloaded'

"Finally" I mutter.

I open the game and wait to load in.

I look at my phone and I see a incoming call from Jack.

"Whatcha want Jack?" I asked.

"Sooooo, ya get the game yet?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's so boring though.....I'm stuck in the snow" I complained.

"Trust me, it's only a few missions then you leave the snow and it gets way better!" Jack explains.

"I swear if your lying to me Jack!" I fake threatened.

"Hey! I'm not" he said with a chuckle before hanging up.

*TIME SKIP*

I had atleast been playing the game for atleast an hour and a half at this point and I have to admit it's becoming more enjoyable.....I think it's my new favourite game.

I glanced at the ticking clock on my wall  3.55 am. I sigh and then turn off my console to get some sleep for the night.

As I get comfy and cosy into my bed all I can think about is that silly cowboy game and how I really enjoyed it so far.

I slowly drifted off to sleep, the game still running through my head.

THE NEXT MORNING

"John! Get up now!" I hear a deep and masculine voice shout, it sounds extremely familiar but I couldn't pin point from where.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around of what I thought was my bedroom. The sight of grass on the ground, the feeling of a cold breeze gushing past me and the thin mattress beneath my back.

I tried Searching for my phone.....it was no where to be found.

I stand up, the ground beneath me, soft yet slightly damp. I look at my surroundings.....it was a tent I was in. I spot a pair of very nice cowboy boots at the foot of my bed. I look into the small pocket mirror I could see on a chest.

My appearance looked much older.... everything about me...looked older. I was extremely confused.

"Where am I?" I mumbled to myself.

I slide my feet into the boots and step outside my tent. The area looked way too familiar.

"Am I in that game?" I asked my self.

"Ah Miss! There you are" A man I recognised from the game said as he approached me.

"Where am I?" I asked

"We found you laying in a bush not too far away.....you looked vulnerable" He paused. "Go...go over there and get yourself some coffee, I'll explain everything later." He assured me.
