"Oh, shit."
This seems like an arbitrary thing to say while your home is being attacked by a dragon. Oh, shit is something you say when you drop a plate or accidentally suck your mom's keys into a vacuum cleaner. It is not an appropriate reaction to a dragon attack.
Of course, this is another one of Fate's ploys to send me spiraling into the role of main character. Not that it ever works, but it's cute that she cares so much. But the MC life just isn't the life for me.
"Are you calling the police?"
I turn around to see Fate glaring at me. I shrug pressing the second 1 on my phone. However, Fate knocks it out of my hand.
"A dragon, Jennifer," she says, "a dragon! I send a dragon and you aren't going to fight it."
"Oh, hell no," I pick up my phone and put it up to my ear.
Fate politely waits for my conversation with the cops to be over before jumping on me again. "You think the police can take care of a dragon?"
I do, because Fate already sent a dragon. It was a smaller dragon, but it was a dragon. I don't point this out of course, because Fate would just outright deny it. She's good at that.
"You can't ignore destiny, Jennifer. You'll have to face reality someday."
"Well, as long as that day is nowhere in the foreseeable future, I don't mind," I reply.
Also, the police have showed up. But that's not the main focus of this chapter.
Fate growls. Like, she actually growls like a wild animal, "You will be the main character of this story, Jennifer," she says, and then disappears.
I laugh, because she's so fucking wrong.
