Our Fate (SuperGirlyGamer and FuriousDestroyer Fan Fic)

Chapter 5

Nightmares flood my dreams. The village is under attack again. This time FuriousDestroyer isn't there to save me. The monsters try to tear me limb from limb. I try fighting them with the hoe but it's so much heavier than the real hoe. The monsters wail as I hit some of them. They knock the hoe out of my hand. One of them is coming at me at full speed and the second it hits me, I wake. I don't realize that I'm awake so I keep screaming and fighting. I feel myself falling. That's when I know I've fallen off the bed. I prepare for impact when someone catches me. FuriousDestroyer. He's panting hard. I open my eyes but the room is dark so I can't see anything. I realize his arms are not cold and hard but like a real human's. He's not wearing his armor anymore. I wipe the tears away from my face.

"Are you okay?"

His real voice is so deep and soothing. I feel instantly calmer around him. I nod my head. I blink my eyes trying to get a good look at him but the room is too dark to see anything. He stands up and and gently places me back onto the bed. He pulls the comforter over me again.

"Goodnight SuperGirlyGamer."

He starts walking back to his makeshift bed on the floor.

"Wait."

I hear him turn back around. I want to say something insulting to him about how he ruined my life. Or thank him for catching me.

"Goodnight FuriousDestroyer."

Maybe in the morning.

. . .

The next morning, I wake up facing the wall. I know that FuriousDestroyer is gone already. I don't want to want to get out of bed to face them downstairs. I turn around in the bed. I look at the ground and see a plate of food with a piece of folded up paper next to it. I slip out of bed and unfold the piece of paper. It's from FuriousDestroyer. It says:

Dear SuperGirlyGamer,

I'm sorry for lying to you but I had to. I didn't want to put more pressure on you. I know you've been through a lot and I know I'm not helping. Hopefully that can all change. I'm not good with people. I haven't really talked to anyone besides Minerva in a long time. That's a story that I want to keep to myself as well. I hope you understand. It doesn't help that you're pretty too. Oh god that sounded creepy...

I know that when you wake up, you won't want to go downstairs. I made you breakfast because you need your strength if you're going to help take down the person behind the OreSpawn creatures. I'll be gone for today. There's just somethings I have to do before we start training. If you have any questions, Minerva will stay behind to take care of you. I'll be back before dusk.

I'll always be there for you SuperGirlyGamer. If you ever need anything, ask me.

-FuriousDestroyer

Unexpectedly, FuriousDestroyer's handwriting is neat and tidy. And he signed his name in cursive. Only the richest of people learned to read and write. And only the most important people could write in cursive. I was amazed when Mama Big Bertha could read and write. She's the one who taught me how to read. She was just about to teach me how to write for my birthday but... yeah. What else is he hiding from me?

I stop thinking about it and eat the delicious breakfast he made me. When I finish the food, I head for the bookshelf. I look over the huge selection of books. The books are lined up cover to cover in tight rows. I keep looking until I see a book on the bottom shelf that's standing by itself. All the other books look fresh and new but this book is worn and tattered.

I pick it up and sit down on the bean bag in the corner. The cover is so worn that I can't read the title. So I open to the first page.

Once upon a time, in a land far far away...
