The hole that the goblin and human had jumped into opened up to the roof of his hideout. The girl closed her eyes and buried her face into his chest. She didn’t want to look, because knowing his luck, he would miss catching the ledge and they’d become pancakes.
Styx felt the girl hide her face. Doing this shit in real life instead of behind the safety of a t.v. screen had to make it much scarier for her. With ease, he caught the ledge sticking out in front of him, and hung there for a second. He then hoisted them up onto the platform and moved away from the edge. Sarcastically, he remarked, “You can look now, girl.” As soon as she loosened herself from him to check out the surroundings, he dropped her on her ass.
The redhead grunted in surprise. “Dude, seriously?” She was having a shitty day and he wasn’t making it any better. She stood up and wiped the dirt off her ass, then glared at him. Then again, being in the game with him was much better than playing it from the outside, if she thought about it.
The goblin was unaffected by her protest. A little payback never hurt. He smirked.
He was smirking, the fucking bastard. The girl was trying to decided whether to hit him or not, because she really wanted to in that moment. She moved towards him, but Styx sidestepped her, heading deeper into the hideout.
The greenskin had forgotten that Ozkan might be around. The old man may have been blind, but he wasn’t stupid. He wasn’t sure if the crook would try to kill the human girl off, or worse, sell her into prostitution.
The redhead followed him. Her intent to finish the argument started to form into curiosity instead. He looked like he was headed to the room in the upper part of the hideout. Realization hit her. He must have been looking for the old man. She knew that the old man was how Styx was able to move on to new missions. She wondered if that’s what he was planning on doing. It didn’t make much sense though, seeing as what was he going to do with her? He couldn’t just leave her in the hideout while he completed missions. “Styx.”
Said goblin was climbing the ramp to the door and heard her call his name, but didn’t stop.
“Styx!” There was no way he didn’t hear her. Those ears were huge enough to pick up shit like a bat.
Styx rolled his eyes and turned around, “What?”
The girl crossed her arms, “What the hell are you doing? You can’t just start a mission. I refuse to wait here for you.”
“I’m heartbroken. I thought good little girls were supposed to wait for their husbands.”
“God damnit, Styx! Even if I was your wife, you can bet your ass I wouldn’t stay in this hellhole!”
That made the goblin stop for a minute, what did she just say? Not I would never be with a an ugly ass like you, but if I was… He shook his head and took a step towards her. He was starting to lose his patience, “Listen…whatever your name is, I gatta get to that tree and it ain’t ganna happen when you’re in control.”
“My name is,” she said at first with conviction, but then, “uh…” She faltered for a minute, unsure if she should give out her real name. In reality, it probably wouldn’t change anything, but at the same time, if she was going to be stuck here, she might as well take on her true persona. Plus, she needed to blend in so that she didn’t become targeted. She had knowledge of this world’s future, and in the wrong hands it would be devastating.
Styx watched her hesitate, “What? Am I so handsome that you can’t even remember your own name?”
The human’s head shot up and she growled slightly. That comment had hit a little close to home. Built up frustration caused her to lunge at him. In the real world, she had been taught martial arts, but never really used it.
She caught the goblin off guard. He didn’t even have a chance to defend himself before she had grabbed him and flipped him onto the ground. He was locked in a hold and struggled some. Damn, this girl was full of surprises.
Victory was hers and she smirked. There was more to her than met the eye and Styx was going to find that out real quick. She loved his personality, but the banter towards her was starting to aggravate her. She figured putting him in his place would make him back off some.
The smug look died, however, when her opponent flipped them over easily. Styx pinned her arms above her head and used his body weight to keep her in place. Amber eyes searched hers and he leaned in, “You’re going back and you’re not going to let me die anymore, got it?”
The redhead had to take a second to regain her composure. She hadn’t been expecting him to get out of the hold so easily. This also was not how she pictured being underneath him the first time would go. She realized he was speaking to her, but she hadn’t been listening. She focused in on what he was saying.
“You listening to me, redhead?” Styx was aggravated by the lack of response. What was with this girl?
She gave him a snarky response back, “You still whining, goblin?” An idea came to her head and she smirked evilly.
Styx nearly jumped out of his skin when the redhead leaned in and bit his ear just hard enough to cause some pain. He leaped off her quickly and started to rub the now sensitive area. “What the fuck?” He felt pain, but other sensations shot straight down. Despite his memory being fogged, he hadn’t forgotten that part at least. He growled and dug roughly in his pocket for a pile of sand, “You’re going back.”
The redhead started to laugh. She couldn’t believe that actually worked. Because there were no goblins in the real world, she’d never gotten to test her theory out.
Styx was not amused at all. He glared at her. He didn’t have time for this crazy shit.
She got up and narrowed her eyes at him. Spoilsport, the fun was just getting started and he already wanted to send her home, “Fine, whatever. And the name is Shadow, you overgrown twat.”
The goblin ignored her as he focused his magic to create a new portal. The lingering sensation from the bite was distracting somewhat, though. He’d never thought about his ears being sensitive in that manner. Fuck. The human girl liked to play dirty, apparently. Despite the influx of hormones, he ignored them and threw the sand into the air. He concentrated on forming the outer ring of the portal first and then the inner red part after. However, unlike last time, he wasn’t able to finish it. He couldn’t get the barrier to let him through.
Shadow watched from behind. She wanted to know how he was able to get past the restrictions of the game in order to create the first gateway to her world. She was fascinated, as the sand seemed to float in thin air and was easily manipulated under his command. The girl racked her brain, trying to remember a time that he may have been able to use his abilities in such a way, but nothing came. She assumed his attempt had failed when the circle crumbled and the sand fell to the ground in disorganized heap.
Styx cursed and tried again only to have the same result. He had to get the portal open. There was no way Shadow could survive in his world. What little he did know about the real world was that they were far advanced and that social norms were vastly different. Even more bothersome was where he could drop her off at if they were forced to go through with that option. Not only would they have to find a way to sneak out of the tower undetected, he’d also have to find a human town she could make a life in. His memories of the outside of the tower were blurred, some blank. He mulled over the idea of letting her stay with him to save the trouble, but for all he knew, she wouldn’t be able to handle life stuck with a criminal either. A voice intervened in his head, almost like a passing thought, “What are you talking about, rakash? You’ve got a mission to complete and she’ll only get in the way. Get rid of her.”
Shadow rose an eyebrow. She’d been watching him make various expressions and knew he was fighting an internal battle. She had a feeling she would get stuck because he shouldn’t have been able to use his magic in that way in the first place. “Having problems, are we?” Her own emotions were warring within herself as well. Though she liked the idea of staying in this world with him, what repercussions would it have in the real world? Plus, living life with him would be a struggle. They’d have to fight for what they needed and would constantly be on the move. In the real world, she lived a pretty comfortable life and never had to want for anything. She also was on her way to getting her second degree and advancing her career. She sighed, she’d have to think about it and decide. For now, as long as she was stuck, she wanted to stay with him. He was an asshole, but he was the only one that knew about her real life. Plus, in her world, he was just a videogame character. She had access to information he didn’t. She knew how this story ended and that’s not what she wanted for him.
Styx turned to look at her, “If I can’t get the portal open, then I’ll take you to one of the human villages outside of the tower to live out the rest of your days.” His inner voice was right, he had a job to do and nothing was going to stop him from finishing it.
A village? Was the goblin insane? She’d have to start all over and on top of that, she didn’t know anyone else in this world. Where would she stay? How would she eat? Would she be able to find work? She had to convince him to let her stay, at least until he could get his magic to cooperate again. “Why can’t I stay with you? You did this. And you know damn well I wouldn’t make it in a human town. Our worlds are too different.”
“You can’t stay here. You’ll just hold me back.” He was fighting with himself again. He knew she was right, but the little voice in his head was telling him that it didn’t matter what happened to her.
“Oh really?” She crossed her arms and cocked a hip out. “I have information you need.”
“Like what?” His amber eyes narrowed in suspicion.
“Have you forgotten where I came from?” The confused look on the goblin’s face made her realize she’d have to spell it out for him. Unfortunately, she didn’t know that it wasn’t just the two of them listening to their conversation. “I came from the real world. There, you are just the main character in a video game. I purchased said videogame and have played it over and over again. I’ve beaten it more than once, you just don’t remember because this was a new game I started up.” His blank face made her sigh in exasperation, “Meaning, I know where the plans are, the coins, everything. I know this place inside and out. I even know the amount of guards on each level and their patterns so you can slip past them undetected.”
Styx’s eyes opened wide when he finally understood the point she was making. If she knew all that then…the voice spoke in his head again, she knew where the heart was. He grabbed his head with both hands, hissing as a searing pain shot through it. Damn these headaches. It passed and he looked back up at her. She’d have to prove herself because her track record hadn’t been so great when she was in control, but if she could help him then who was he to say no?
She smirked at first, knowing that Styx wouldn’t be able to refuse such a tantalizing offer. The smirk faltered when she saw him grab his head. On top of not wanting to get stuck alone, she also had ulterior motives. As much as she hated to watch him suffer, she’d have to ignore it for now. She could have told him the truth then and there and moved on, but she decided that it was best to let him find out on his own. Besides, she had a rat to get rid of. The look on her face soured as she thought about the motherfucker doing this. He’d pay, dearly. She met his eyes, “So do I get to stay or not?”
He bared his fangs and reluctantly agreed, “Fine.”
