The World of The Ranger (continued)

Chapter Eight

Jillian was guided to her temporary room by a servant, called to the tower by the Baron, soon after she left the room.

The room was cozy. Not too luxurious, as it was only a temporary room, but it was spacious enough to give her plenty of room to move around. The bed felt soft, so Jilly deemed that she'd sleep well that night.

She took off her cloak, boots, and socks, before continuing to unload her belongings onto a nearby sofa, then flopping backwards onto the bed and sighing in content. "Maybe it's not so scary after all." She said to herself. "But I still want to get back home. My mom's probably pissed at Felicity for this."

Jillian's mother fumed. "What do you mean, you sent my daughter to another world?!" She cried.

"That was the mystery prize. The winner not only gets the Golden Novel, but also a trip to the world their cosplay represents." Felicity explained.

"So you're telling me that you sent my baby girl to another world, without anyone with her?"

Felicity looked away from Jillian's mother. "I did leave her with a few things to keep her alive, but not a supervisor." She muttered.

Jillian's mother nearly screamed at felicity. "How could you?!" She cried. "That's my baby girl and you may have taken her away from me forever!"

Felicity looked at Jillian's mother as she cried out. when Jillian's mother was done with her shouting, Felicity stood as she said, "I'm sure Jillian is safe. I placed her near an area where she would be most familiar, with many familiar characters that could help her. I'm sure she's fine." 

Jillian's mother thought for a little bit. "That's true. She does know that series like the back of her hand. So she would know a lot of the characters." She said.

"See what I mean? She knows many people already there, although they may not know her all too well in return, so she'll be perfectly fine." Felicity reassured her. "Besides, I'm sure Jilly is having a lot of fun already."

Jillian was woken up from a dreamless sleep by none other than Will.

"Uh...what...?" She asked, her whole body full of sleep.

"Get up, Jillian." Will hissed. "The Baron and I have discussed what to do with you."

Jillian got out of bed more quickly, as she was eager to see what the Ranger and the Baron had decided to do with her, but the sleep she got was still wearing her out.

She didn't bother putting on her boots, cause she knew she'd have to come back to her room afterwards.

Once she was in the Baron's office, she opted to stay standing because she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep in a standing position.

"Me and Will have had a long night's full of discussion on what to do with you." The Baron said, his voice caked in sleep. "Our decision is to have you work for the time that you are here. We can't have you staying in Araluen without money." He yawned and mumbled something that sounded close to, "damn, I'm so tired."

"Yes, sir."

"Dismissed."

Jilly left the room, eager to get back to bed.

Once she got into the room, she plopped down on the bed and immediately fell asleep.
