《The White Rose》Chapter 8: Mattie
Advertisement
Ugh, there’s so much noise, I don’t like this. It’s too much god damn noise
“Ah, shut up. Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up! It’s so loud. And my leg hurts. Why does it hurt?” I looked down at my leg and saw it in shambles. Oh, yeah. That’s why it’s so loud. But, where was Rose. And what the fuck is going on outside, it was a mess.
That was when Amber came bursting in. “Hey, Mattie, get ready to go. As soon as Rose gets done with this fight we’re leaving. Just this once, don’t fight with me. Please.” Ugh, she was so damn annoying. “Fine, whatever. Just get the fuck out. I don’t like you. Get out.” Why did I sound like a dumbass all the time? Argh.
Alright, so I could probably walk with this splint. But I really don’t want to. I mean, I could make like a hovercraft or something, but that’s difficult to make as it is, and in this state I don’t think I could do it. I was utterly exhausted. I didn’t want to move but I did say I’d go with them. She still hasn’t gone away. “What the fuck do you not understand about ‘leave bitch’? Seriously, get out Amber.” I said, watching her shake her head.
She walked over to my bed and picked me up. I’ve gotta say, she is a lot stronger than she looks. “Hey, hey what the hell, stop. I’ll call god on you. Stop.” I said. She laughed and said “Why would you call Rose on me, you're the one being a piece of work?”
She sadly had a point. “Whatever, just let me walk myself.”
“No, it’ll be faster to let me carry you.”

“Ah the heresy. Someone kill this bitch.”
“Stop struggling or I might kill you.”
“You wouldn’t. You don’t wanna piss Rose off. Such a pussy.”
“Fair enough. Then I’ll just knock you out, bury you alive, and say you went missing.”
I kicked at her, but she sent a wave of flame up to block it. “Owowowow. What the fuck. Why’d you do that.” I squealed. “Cause I don’t wanna be kicked.” Ugh. Why did she have to be a dick. Guess she’s just like that, although I’ve heard from a bunch of people that she's, like, super nice. Guess she’s only a dick to me, or they’re all lying, which is unlikely.
Ugh, Okay. I need to get focused. I can’t let this altercation get into my head. That’s how I get caught up on even more trivial things. “Hey, just put me down so I can walk by myself. I’m not an incapable little fucking parasite.” I said I didn’t want her carrying me.
“Uhg, fine. Also, if you are gonna be cursing at least learn how to use them. It sounds even more stupid when you don’t know how to curse.” She said, I guess she has a point. Even an IQ of about 190 won’t save you from social awkwardness. Apparently.
Alrighty, let’s get this done. I kicked out from Amber’s grip, and hit the ground hard, feet first too. My burnt leg didn’t really feel anything but the other was crumpled out from under me, and I almost fell over. Luckily I caught myself and maintained my balance. Once I kept my foothold for a few seconds, I made myself a crutch. Damn, I didn't like these things however it was necessary.
I used the crutch to limp along with Amber, who walked a little slower so I could keep up. That bitch thinks I'm so puny. I’ll show her, I thought. I walked along as the earth started shaking. I hurried my pace, it was tiring but necessary.
Rose had let loose.

Advanced AI's All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology. She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make.

[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

Demon Hunters
Far in the future, the last two viable cities in the western hemisphere – Technoburbia and New Baravia – struggle for control over a vast and largely desolate land. Officially they are at war. In practice, the war has been a stalemate for a generation, the disputed frontier between the two city-states never moving. In the city of New Baravia itself, a vast circular concrete wall keeps its inhabitants in, and its refugees out. For its citizens, life is monotonous and unequal, with enormous wealth in the hands of nobles, criminal gangs, and entertainment bosses. It is the last of these that control the hit entertainment show, “Demon Hunters”. A chance, perhaps, for the ordinary man or woman to rise up, and change their fate... This LitRPG novella is based around a futuristic battle-royale situation, partly set in VR, and partly in a post-apocalyptic city. The story features combat and action, some strong language, and lots of great characters that will stick with you! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
