Our Fate (SuperGirlyGamer and FuriousDestroyer Fan Fic)

Chapter 19

The village of GamingWithJen is far from here. Minerva carries our weapons for us and I carry her when she gets too tired. At first we worried about what we were going to eat but we realized there were so many edible plants and fruit bushes that we could just survive off of them. They aren't very filling though.

Last time I checked on SuperGirlyGamer, Mama Big Bertha left for a few days to go somewhere. Their neighbors are taking care of them while she's away. SuperGirlyGamer and Bob seem to be having a good time. Unlike us.

The further we walk, the warmer it gets. After the first day, we set up a bivouac in the middle of nowhere. We gather pine needles to use as beds. Not too comfortable but it works. Whenever SuperGirlyGamer dreams, I see her dreams. When she doesn't dream, I go through my own dream. I so desperately wanted one of her dreams. But I got one of my own.

My dream is about the first time I experienced a thunderstorm. I was five at that point. Mother and I were sitting in front of the fireplace. She's sitting in a rocking chair; embroidering. I'm playing with my toys in front of the fire. Thunder rumbles. It scares me. I run to my mother and sit on her lap. I'm crying. She starts singing the song that she used to sing me to sleep with.

"I loved and I loved and I lost you.

I loved and I loved and I lost you...

I don't want them to know the secrets.

I don't want them to know the way I loved you.

I don't think they'd understand it, no.

I don't think they would accept me, no.

I loved and I loved and I lost you.

I loved and I loved and I lost you..."

I've always loved that song. I loved my mother, too. Then I lost her.

. . .

Mama Big Bertha: "FuriousDestroyer. Wake up."

I blink open my eyes. Mama Big Bertha is standing over me.

Me: "What? How did... how did you find us?"

Mama Big Bertha: "I've known you for as long as you've been alive. Actually, long before then. I've been keeping a close eye on you. I find it very impressive how you managed to communicate with her. How did you do it?"

Me: "I... I don't know how I did it."

Mama Big Bertha: "You must have some sort of hidden power..."

I'm still slightly confused at this point but I find this as an opportunity to ask her a question.

Me: "Um... can I ask you something?"
Mama Big Bertha: "Shoot."

Me: "Why am I connected to your daughter?"

Mama Big Bertha: "That is a great question! One that I cannot answer at the moment. You'll get your answer in the future."

Me: "I... okay. Will I get to meet SuperGirlyGamer?"

Mama Big Bertha: "Yes actually. In the future."

Me: "Okay...?"

Mama Big Bertha: "I'm just going to be honest to you okay. I need to talk to you. In private. But you two look exhausted. Let's get to safety first."

Me: "Okay. Let me wake up Minerva first."

Minerva is apparently already awake and was eavesdropping on our conversation. Sneaky little... nevermind.
