     "Ashy, be careful. There are horrible people in the world, but as long as your careful and you don't open up, your safe. No one will know your weaknesses and so they can never hurt or break you. So be a good girl and run along... I have to talk to daddy about something."

Those were the last words of guidance my mother had ever given me. I thought I was invincible, that I could help myself. Guess I was wrong...

Two years before meeting Toby and Jinx.

     "OH FOR SHITS SAKE!"

      I slammed my PlayStation 3 controller on the stand in front of me, knocking out the R2 button. I grumbled and adjusted the headset back on my head and grabbed the R2 button, shoving it back in the controller and hitting restart on the hunger games mod I was in.

I tried going after the level 76 player again, which was stupid since I was only a 59, but before I could even get close to him my screen lit up blue, telling me a player had requested a private chat. Unknowingly I accepted and said hi.

*Hey, have you gotten player 76 yet?

I smirked and shook my head

+Nah, I'm 59, there's no way I could take him down.

*Maybe if we work together? I'm a level 66, you take him from behind and I'll get the front.

+Sounds good.

I left the chat room and waited while the player added me to their party. Once I was added they immediately took the plan into action with me behind player 76 as they wacked the shit out of him with a rusty broadsword.

I blinked in amazement as colorful leaves danced across my screen, around the words "Congratulations!"

"We.... Did it..... HAHAHAH WE DID IT HELL YEAH!" I jumped up happily and my screen blinked blue again, Player 66 had been upgraded to 74 and I had been upgraded to 63.

*HELL YEAH DID YOU SEE THAT?!

+YEAH I DID! WE JUST BEAT THE FUCKING GAME MAN!

*Dude we should become partners!

+let's do it!

From then on I was spending every waking moment on that game, just to talk to that player... After a while we learned a lot about each other... Hobbies, foods we liked, games we played, systems we had, we even shared our names to each other... Her name was Hannah.
