- Even in sleep she couldn't seem to shake this strange, unsettling feeling. It was the same kind of discomfort she felt whenever she fell asleep, when her head filled with strange dreams and visions of bloodstained armour, the clang of steel and the glimmering scales of unknown beasts. Strange dreams. Clearly she'd been playing too many fantasy MMORPGs.
Frowning, she tossed and turned in her seat, turning up the volume of the music on her headphones. Lady Thunda always had a soothing effect on her, especially that debut album of hers. That woman's music was a gift from the gods. "Na na na na, don't drop the hamma-a-a-a~" she mouthed with her eyes closed, toes tapping to the beat. "We got the thunda-a-a- uuuuugh..."
There it was, a sharp pain in her head again like someone had driven a stake right through her skull. Taking off her headphones, Victory massaged her temples, wishing with all her might that the ringing in her head would cease. She didn't know what prompted her to look out the window just then; lucky chance perhaps. But as she opened her eyes, the girl glimpsed a faint blur in the sky, growing as it hurtled towards the direction of the coach which had come to a stop in heavy traffic. Shifting in hear seat she craned her neck to get a better look. Is that...?
And then she saw it; the black scales of the beast, the serpentine tail and the gaping black maw. A Mythos.
"EVERYONE GET DOWN!!"
The sound of shattering glass erupted as the monster hit the vehicle, screams resonating as the coach turned on its side. Her head slammed painfully into the crumpled metal frame, dizziness taking it's hold of her for a time. On a bed of shattered glass she shifted, gasping in pain as shards of broken window dug into the flesh of her arm. H-how...? Los Angeles was a world away from where she was, how had the Mythos made it all the way here?!
"Everyone out of the bus! Move! Move!"
The yelling brought her back to reality as around her passengers stumbled and clawed their way to the exit, some attempting to crawl their way out through the shattered windows and to safety. Her heart pounding, Victory grabbed her backpack off the ground and pulled herself out of her seat, cringing at the pain that shot through her arm. In the broken glass she caught a glimpse of her reflection, Her hood had come off, her long hair now lose. But instead of bright red the girl who met her eye in the mirror had golden locks and glowing blue eyes. Not now! she thought in a panic. The last thing she needed was for her freaky powers set themselves off in this situation. Whatever the heck it was that they did. Pulling off her hoodie, Victory threw it over the sharp broken edges of the window, using the seats to climb her way up without much effort. I'm...so...out of shape! she thought between ragged breaths, now attempting to hoist herself out of the back window. Thankfully there had been almost no one in the back of the bus so she could easily-
"Help..."
A frail voice caught her attention as from under the seat, a tiny hand reached for her. She froze, eye's darting between the bus beneath her and the sky above. She bit her lip, fear knocking her knees together so badly she could hardly stand. She should really get herself out of here before something else came along. He wasn't a hero. It wasn't her job to look out for anyone but herself. "Help please..."
I'm gonna regret this... Swinging herself down, Victory climbed over the seats until she found the child, pinned by the leg by a seat that had come off. Beside her lay the body of a young woman, her eyes closed, her body unmoving and a piece of metal lodged right in the middle of her chest.
"Mama, Mama won't move..." the girl whimpered as Victory felt the bile well up in her throat. Don't look. she told herself, quickly averting her eyes. Don't look, don't look, don't look. IT was little use. Her body shook with fear, the image of what she'd just seen burnt into her mind. This was different than any game she'd ever played, no matter how gory, no matter how realistic the graphics were. Real life was different.
"D-Don't move." With shaving hands she pushed at the heavy seat, every muscle in her frail body working to move it a mere inch. With a groan the wreckage began to inch slowly off of the girl's leg until she could finally pull it free. "O-Okay, we gotta go-"
"But mama-!"
An ear piercing screech resonated from overhead as the side of the bus was ripped off. Throwing her body over the girl, Victory flung herself to the ground, her arms covering the child's head. Curved talons ripped at the metal frame as a Wyvern reached for them, it's claws simply too big to pluck them from under the seats...for now. I knew i was going to regret this!
"Keep your head down!!" She yelled a the girl struggled and screamed out of sheer terror. With razor sharp claws only inches from her face, Victory could almost see her life flashing before her eyes. This was a mistake, a terrible mistake. She should've never left home, never left her room, never left her happy online world where even when you got killed by monsters you could simply revive with the click of a button. Real life was different. Real life was terrifying. Clinging tight to the girl's form Victory closed her eyes, a blinding radiance surrounding her in a sudden burst, that sent the Wyvern temporarily screeching into the air. She didn't want to die.
"SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY HELP!!"
