Trapped
Introduced for the first time (again)
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Ughhhh" I groaned as I tried to slowly open my eyes and get used to the blinding light in my face, not remembering the events that occurred the previous day. What happened, I thought to myself as the headache still hadn't left since I got it. A bush being rustled to my left had forced me to at least sit up and take in my surroundings. Trees, trees and a few trees. "Great, not only am I waking up outside after going to an event that I had saved for months to go, I am also in a forest." I mumbled to myself in an irritated fashion.
More bushes rustling and what sounded like a growl told me it was probably time to get up, so I slowly backed up and stood up at the same time being cautious of any wild animals that were going to attack me. "Hello?" I called out questioningly to test if it was somebody instead of something. I knew something was wrong the moment I had said that, my voice had changed. It was now a deeper and more 'western' voice than I was used to. I had been born in and grew up in Canada so it wasn't unusual for me to hear the accent but I had never sounded like this before.
In response to me calling out to whatever was watching me from the bushes, it poked it's head out. To say I was scared was an understatement, a white wolfs head with lifeless eyes peered at me through the bushes as I just stared back. I started to, once again, slowly back up when an asian man that I was quite familiar with had stepped out from behind the bushes. "Uhhhh, hey" he said with an asian accent that sounded just like Hanzo had in Overwatch.
"What the hell!" I screamed in fear as he walked closer while also being cautious in my presence.
"How are you here?" He asked while raising his hand to his mouth as if something was wrong. "What?" He quietly muttered under his breath so I just barley understood it. He started to retreat into the bushes as I finally got up. I put my gloved hand on the ground and felt a metal object which I instinctively held it with a tight grip. The Peacemaker, I was not to fond of guns as I had previously shot my cousin in the leg with my dads old 22 rifle while on a hunting trip.
After fitting it into the holster I decided that it was time to get up. As I stood up I heard a rustling sound in the bushes beside me and put my hand on the Peacemakers grip to make myself look more intimidating. I heard metal clanking together and decided to check it out. After two steps towards the sound a large metallic object swiped at me through the bushes followed by a small trail of flames. A large suit of armour which had attempted the strike that would have most likely killed me was laughing as he brutally murdered all of the poor innocent bushes that had dared stand in his way.
I let out a very manly shriek as I fell onto my back, the scream could be compared to a cat having it's tail stepped on. The very large suite of armour jumped as the bushes had just wailed after being hit by his large hammer. He let took a few paces back and realized that it was only a person. A sudden realization of the events that just occurred caused him to plea for forgiveness as he could have ended my life in one swift blow.
"Hello there, sorry about that." He said in apologetic tone while speaking in a heavy german accent. "Mccree!?" He yells, looking shocked at my appearance while simultaneously taking off his helmet as if it was obscuring his vision. What I saw was shocking, where I expected a long-haired mexican, all I got was a tough looking old man with white hair and a scar across his eye.
"Francisco?" I asked questioningly, thinking that I may look like Mccree. He smiled as he heard his name and went to hug me out of relief of having a friend around and I backed of instinctively as I did not want to die by getting crushed by a very large man.
A few more bushes rustled and we heard a line we are all familiar with as a golden suited white haired man emerged from the bushes. "We're all soldiers now." I cracked a smile believing him to be steve; Following Steve was Caleb. We decided that it would be best to start searching for a place to stay as it was starting to get dark. We all took a vote and decided to head West.
Something about the forest was off, it was as if there was nothing living but the trees and us. The eerie silence was only broken by the occasional conversations and the sound of our footsteps.
We walked for what seemed like a few hours until we found a cave and decided to settle down for the night. There were three problems with this plan though, the first being that there was something walking around in the cave, the second being that Steve and Caleb had gone to gather sticks and stones to set up a fire at the entrance, and finally, whatever was in the cave was coming to greet it's un welcomed guests.
