Chapter Text
I wake up to my alarm clock ringing. OH NO! I'm so late! I roll out of my bed and ouch!! I overestimate the space I have on my very small bed and falls to the floor. I sniff, rubbing my very sore bottom.
I jump up and run to the bathroom. I throw my brown hair into two short messy ponytails, brushing my teeth furiously until they shine like diamonds cut perfectly to ensure light hits critical angles at all sides in a clear pool of pure H2O.
They sparkle under the toilet light. "Omg so pretty..." I stare dreamily at my reflection with my mouth open, admiring my teeth for 16 minutes straight.
Nobody! Nobody has better teeth than me! That's my proudest achievement since I was 7 and won Best Student Award for Cleaning Teeth.
My phone rings. It's my best friend, Giamanda
My g: This guy is so hot. Attachment: 1 image
I just know she sent me some anime guy.
Me: shut up why do u like fake men.
Urgh, I have no time for simps like her. I have to report to work, to my dashing, generic looking boss. I'm completely in love with him, even though he has the personality of an average 27 year old, with the humor of a 17 year old boy who has had no social interaction until he glowed up at 15.
His name is Pallad Eduagor, my one and only, love of my life, apple of my eye! I'm pretty sure he has royal blood somewhere in his family tree- I mean did you hear his last name. He totally can't possibly be scamming me!!
He's the reason I wake up everyday. I'm totally not forcing myself to find him attractive so I can convince myself real men are worth it.
I don on my simple medieval peasant inspired outfit. It's for my job at the theme park.
I skip off, like Klee when she goes to bomb fis- wait a minute, who's Klee? Urgh, I smack the side of my head. Must be one of the anime looking characters from the recent game Giamanda has been obsessing over. It's even starting to affect me. Ewie.
As I walk across the road, Giamanda calls me. I roll my eyes and pick up the phone. "What"
"Donna! You wouldn't believe this, I just pulled Dil-"
A truck comes careening towards me, like some drunk man attempting to get home before his wife who works 5 jobs to support their kids catches him. I only manage to catch a glimpse of the word GENSHIN before the impact hits me
My vision goes jet black as though a squad of squids secreted their ink at my face in sync.
"Where am I?" I rub my eyes and look right and left and up and down and inside my ears. I should've done that when I was crossing the road. Everywhere is dark. I look around for exactly 3 hours, 8 minutes, and 27 seconds, before a pretty lady with white hair appears before my eyes.
"Hey Donna!!!!" She grips my shoulders tightly and shakes me. Her perfectly manicured nails are digging into me. I feel like a patch of soil in the mountains assaulted by a bunch of kids who accidentally murdered their friend and is attempting to cover his body. Her yellow eyes are wide and maniac. Who is this weirdo??
"Where am I? Who are you?" I ask that weird lady. She pokes my eyes and they fall out.
"AHHHHHHH!!!" I scream, clutching my now eyeless eyes. "What did you do!!! WHERE ARE MY EYES??!!!!"
"DO YOU WANNA BE REBORN IN ANOTHER WORLD???" the lady screams back. The nerve, acting like she didn't just steal my eyes!! No eye thief speaks to me that way!
"WHAT NO- GIMME MY EYES!!" I yell. I can feel her clutching my eyeballs in her palm, squeezing them like I squeeze my Pallad Eduagor body pillow.
Blood starts to gush out of my empty sockets. My eyes!!! My heart begins to thump. Thumpie thumpety thump. Will I ever get my eyes back? My hands grasp helplessly at my eye sockets.
"These'll make good containers for ice cream," the lady comments. She prods my empty eye sockets with a sharp fingernail.
"NOO I'LL DO ANYTHING!! GIVE THEM BACK!!" I beg. I fall to my knees. Tears begin to fall from my eyeless eye sockets and drip down my cheeks. Plop plop plop. My tears pool onto the floor and a shiba dog trots over and laps it all up.
"What flavour do you like? Personally, I enjoy stolen siblings. They taste like pistachio and raisins. Yum yum."
"Give...GIVE THEM BACK..." I sob. Although I cannot see her, I can feel her smugness and how! Dare! She! Who does she think she is??? When I get my eyes back- I'll kick her in the nuts. I just know she looks hot with that smirk and arrogant attitude of hers.
"Urgh fine, stop being so whiny, I'll give it to you if you agree!!" She drawls in a sexy voice.
"OKAY I AGREE!" I give in, planning to run away immediately after I get my eyes back. No matter how hot she is, I'm no masochist. Nah uh, I'm not gonna listen to this crazy (hot) lady.
"HHAHAAHAHAHHA!" she begins to laugh crazily. Fear creeps into my heart. My cheeks begin to flush red. I never expected maniacal laughter to sound so attractive. Did I make the wrong choice? I try to rub my eyes but there's nothing there to rub. Maybe I made the right choice!! I try to think positively whenever I can. What can I say, I'm an optimist! If I can get my eyes back, I can look at Pallad Eduagor, my one and only, love of my life, apple of my eye (and this hot lady). I need to get them back ASAP no matter what!
"Right choice, sweetie," her confirmation makes me shiver. She moves closer to me and places a hand on my forehead. I almost flinch (what if pimples!) but I hold still. What is she doing? The hairs on my neck stand up. Every cell in my body is chanting 'DANGER' monotonously like students being forced to recite the school rules for the 16th time in detention.
She pushes my forehead roughly. My whole body flings backwards.
"AHHHHHHH!!" I cry as I fall into a pit of darkness. Well, at least I can tick 'getting pushed by a hot lady to my potential death' off my bucket list. My eyes return to me and I catch a last glimpse of the lady smirking down at me.
At least it's a good last sight.
