Fate/Academy (Second Story)

Chapter 5: In the middle of nowhere.

                   Arturia's POV:

     I squinted my eyes to find myself laying on the ground on a plain. "Oh. You're awake. Are you okay?" Someone asked. When I opened my eyes fully, I was finally able to see who it was. Diarmuid. "Yeah.  I guess I was just tired. How long have I been asleep?" I asked Diarmuid. "About 2 hours," he said. "What! I couldn't have been asleep for that long!" "Well, you were. I'm kind of surprised that you didn't wake up sooner," Rin said as she walked up to me. I stood as I faced Rin. But, when I did, I felt pain on my back and rubbed it as I asked, "Where are we?" "Well, we are in the middle of nowhere. When fell out of the plane, you landed on the ground in the middle of nowhere," Rin said. Then, it hit me. "Where's the plane?" I asked. "Arthur flew the plane somewhere safe. I don't know where, but the people on the plane are safe." "What? Those people probably don't know where they are! Not to mention that they saw the fight with me and that caster servant!" I said. "Calm down,  Arturia. Those people are going to be safe. And Rin put some kind of spell on them so that they fall asleep. They'll wake up hours later and not remember a thing that they saw. They'll just remember that they were on a plane," "By the way, is there something wrong with your back. It looks like you've injured yourself when you fell," Gilgamesh said as he walked up to me. Archer and Rider were both standing away from us to make sure that no more enemy servants were coming our way.

     "Oh, I don't think that it's a big deal," I said as I realized the pain I was feeling was coming from my back. "Arturia, it is a big deal. You were far from the ground. You'll need to get it checked out.," Gilgamesh said as he put one of his hands on my back. I winced in pain. "Sorry," he said with a concerned face. Then, a truck came along on the side of the road and stopped. When the truck stopped, a women came out of the truck. It looked like she was in her early 50s and had white, silky hair that was in a ponytail. She was wearing a beige baseball cap that covered everything on her face but her mouth. She was also wearing a plain white T-shirt and long jeans with white shoes. "I've never seen you around here before. Need help getting somewhere?" she said as she walked up to us. I saw the mana compass that Rin had react to the woman. That woman must be a mage.

      "Um, no thank you. We've got it covered," Rin said as she stared at the woman. "Really? It looks like your friend over there has a problem with her back. I can help her... If you let me," she said as she walked closer to me. I walked backwards. "No, ma'am. We're okay. We don't need your help. So please leave us alone, if you don't mind," Rin said as she reached for the gems in her pocket. "Oh my! Is that a mana compass? I've never really seen one before! Where did you get it?" She asked as she leaned in to get a better look at Rin's mana compass. "Ma'am! WE. DON'T. NEED. HELP. So leave us alone," I said as I got closer to her . When she realized what she was doing, she said, "Oh. I'm so sorry. I was just... REALLY stunned!" she said as she went back inside of her truck. She rolled down her window and said, "See ya around!" Then she drove off.

     "She's on to us," Rin said. "Yeah I said as we all saw Arthur walk back to us. "The people are in a safe place, Rin," he said. "Great. Well then, Gilgamesh, since we're not at our destination, please transport us to America," Rin said to Gil. "Whatever. Just hold on," Gil said as everybody held to him. "Hey, not roughly!" He said as we vanished in thin air.
