9 Sticky Situation

I hang from Bai Lei's shoulder as I try to think of something... I need to log out, but how? This has to be a glitch... a bug of some sort... or was this something else entirely? I sigh and look over to see Ren glaring at me. I stick my tongue out at the lackey causing him to seeth in anger.

Were these really characters? They seemed too... too alive too real. No matter how well you program characters they always have a limit with interactions. These two really seem to be never-ending... Ren continues to glare at me as I suddenly get lost in thought.

If they weren't characters from a game... was this not a game? Wait... was that even possible? My mind races with calculations and when I come to an end I'm left shocked. It was possible... however small and unthinkable it was... it's still a possibility!

Had I somehow gone to another world? Or another time? Wait... if I am in another world or somehow in the past... how will I get back!? My thoughts begin spiraling as I'm suddenly thrown on the floor. "Ow! What is your problem?" I say rubbing my butt with a frown.

I look up to find him walking away but what I see next has me frozen. Where were we? I look around the grand room with large pillars and tall candle stands. Weren't we just in the woods!? I find Ren glaring at me while standing next to a long desk.

Bai Lei walks gracefully to the desk and sits down while saying "Tell them to send this letter immediately and from now on, you're going to teach her how to be a proper lady." I scoff in disbelief and say "I don't wish to be a proper lady! I want you to let me go!"

I stand up and rub my butt with a glare "What kind of man drops a woman on the floor like a trash bag?" I say looking straight at him. "Woman? Where?" Bai Lei says leaving me speechless. This cheeky little... little BUG! When my eyes land on the large open doors I "Hmph" and walk away.

"You may roam the grounds but you can't leave. Do you understand?" Bai Lei says with a stern voice. I ignore him and walk straight out of the large room. I come to an abrupt stop when I see a large grand garden filled with plants, flowers, and koi ponds!

How? ... How is any of this happening!? I quickly shake myself and look for an exit. After an hour of roaming, I'm hot and exhausted. Why was this place like a maze!? I wipe my forehead off as I look around in despair.

Okay, Nova... calm down and think. I seem to have gone back in history... and somewhere in ancient China... was this even China? Wasn't it all divided up into different kingdoms? Arrrgg!! I grab my hair in frustration and plop onto the soft grass.

I'm a white girl from America!!! I know nothing about China and its history!!!! I don't even know half of America's history! I'm gonna die... I'm really going to die. Wait... how can I understand them and they understand me? I can't speak Chinese...

I feel like crying... I don't understand anything that's happening. The sun stares down at me like it's mocking me... I lift my hand up and flip it off. I lift up my other hand and flip it off with two hands! Why was this happening to me!? HUH!?

Bai Lei watches with a blank face while Ren frowns saying "What is she doing?" Bai Lei sighs and says "She's bad with direction... how many times did she circle around?" Ren sighs and says "I lost count. Why did you bring her here?"

Bai Lie continues to watch the girl roll back and forth on the grass while kicking and hitting it. Ren's frown grows as he says "Is she ripping up the grass?" Bai Lei nods his head and says "I brought her back because she's not normal. I don't think she's from our world."

Ren shakes his head and says "She's more like an evil spirit! We shouldn't keep her around... she may bring disaster." Bai Lei watches the girl come to a stop with grass all over her and in her hair. She suddenly starts taking off her undergarments causing him to nearly choke.
