I Wish I Could Be..
I Wish I Could Be..
Ruth
I wish I never did that.. back then.

Narrator (me)
(Girls grunting, wrestling)
Narrator (me)
(a scream rings out)
Narrator (me)
(muffled yelling of teachers and yelps of surprises students)
Ruth
I’ll kill you! You darned brat!
Narrator (me)
(Ruth is separated from a female student)
Female Student
She’s a monster! A ruthless monster!
Ruth
She threw my bag in the fountain, went through my stuff, and ripped up all my notes! She’s the real monster! LET ME AT HER!
Narrator (me)
(Ruth lunges at the female student but is held back by a teacher)
Narrator (me)
End of Flashback Mode. The setting is at Ruth’s high school.
Male Student 1
Hey Ruth-less! How bout’ you show us some moves huh?
Ruth
“Looks down at the pavement”
Male Student 1
“Walks up to Ruth”
Male Student 1
Hey! “Slaps Ruth”
Male Student 1
Where are those moves huh? Not gonna fight back?
Male Student 2
Hey, she’s not gonna do anything. This isn’t fun anymore, let’s go somewhere else.
Male Student 1
Fine. Bye ya Ruth-less!
Ruth
“Whispers under her breath”
Ruth
Let’s just go home Ruth! Yep, let’s just go.. home..
Narrator (me)
(Ruth walks past the gate)
Narrator (me)
(she pauses)
Ruth
I wish I could be.. special.
Narrator (me)
(Ruth continues walking and passes a corner)
Ruth
I feel weird. What’s going on!?
Narrator (me)
(Crimson and silver light streaks around her as gentle as a far away fairies dance with a violent passion)
Ruth
What are these lights?!
Narrator (me)
(Ruth blacks out)
Who Is She...
Narrator (me)
(Ruth begins to regain consciousness)
Ruth
Where am I? Why am I in a forest!?
Ruth
What are these trees? They’re blue in color!
Narrator (me)
(Ruth stands up)
Ruth
A path? It might be big enough to call a road. But that’s not the point!.
Narrator (me)
(She walks toward a dirt path. It is poorly made.)
Ruth
I mean what options do I have ummmm... Let’s see...
Ruth
I have no food, water, or possible shelter, uhhhh...
Ruth
I don’t know where I am but.. this path must lead somewhere right?
Narrator (me)
(Ruth hesitates for a moment but begins walking along the side of the dirt path)
Narrator (me)
Five Minutes Earlier... in a carriage.
Sylvia
Why in the Celestial Palace do we have to...
Narrator (me)
Present Time (3 hours from when Ruth started walking the dirt path).
Ruth
Ruth’s Thoughts: I hear something?!
Ruth
Ruth’s Thoughts: Are those?! They sound like hooves!
Ruth
Ruth’s Thoughts: It could be a herd of horses but there aren’t many wild horses anymore. Maybe they’re deer? I can tell and scare them off. What if it’s not an animal though? I mean they can’t be people right? I’ve been walking for a bit now and I’ve seen no sign of anyone ever taking this path. It’s even overgrown slightly.
Sylvia
(Whispers Anxiously) Stop the carriage!
Unknown
Wait what is it Sylvia?
Sylvia
I sense someone.. It’s not a Custom.
Narrator (me)
Hey, let me step into the story real quick and explain something. I named a species Custom, it isn’t usually what dragon-people or animal-human mixes are called but I thought it suited the “customizations” every race has as an animal.
Narrator (me)
Every animal human mix is a little different so the species of animal-like-humans is called Custom. 🤗
Sylvia
Unknown... Don’t freak out but it has your scent.
Unknown
“Shocked to the very core of his being”.
Ruth
I can’t hear anything anymore? Well! I guess I was worried for nothing!
Narrator (me)
(Ruth continues walking the path in the bliss of ignorance)
Unknown
(Whisper-shouts) That’s impossible Sylvia?! How could anyone else get here from ‘there’.
Sylvia
(Under her breath) It shouldn’t happen at all. (Regular voice) We need to find “it”, they must be incredibly confused right now.
Unknown
(Gives a slight glare out the side door’s window) I agree, we need to get to “it” before anyone else does.
Sylvia
For now I’ll cast a spell on the carriage so they won’t hear us coming. Since they are probably already scared I don’t want any surprises.
Unknown
We can get to it before they are able to run or attack. But before that we should follow her for a bit.
Narrator (me)
(Back to our lovely Ruth)!
Ruth
(Beat up voice) I need to rest and try to find my way out of this UNNATURALLY GIANT FOREST! Oh, I probably shouldn’t have yelled.. oops
Narrator (me)
(Ruth huddles up against a large tree trunk and curls up into a ball)
Sylvia
.... I mean we found... her but I mean yeesh. She’s already exhausted.
Sylvia
(Whispers) Unknown, you stay here I’m going to cast a knock out spell on her. She’s the one.
Narrator (me)
(Ruth returns to a half-conscious state and catches a glimpse of a figure standing beside her.)
Narrator (me)
(Sylvia successfully casts a knockout spell on Ruth and brings her to the carriage)
Sylvia
Unknown she’s fine! Stop being such a worry wart!
Unknown
It’s not that it’s just...
Sylvia
(Surprised) Sylvia’s Thoughts: Unknown has never had that look on his face, it’s like someone just pushed him into a lake of memories he doesn’t want to be in. What’s with the girl to make her so terrifying?
Unknown
It’s just... that school uniform was the same one my older sister use to wear when she first got into high school...
Unknown
She could have chosen any school uniform in the district but she chose that one so... I mean it just wasn’t very popular as I remember it.
Sylvia
.... I don’t understand but I’m sorry you had to remember your past life.
Sylvia
But now we have to focus.
Unknown
Yes ma’am. Let’s take her to the next town over, we can explain why she is here then.
Narrator (me)
(Unknown looks at his feet and grimaces)
Unknown
I hate that she was brought here, what did she wish for to make her come here?
Narrator (me)
Okay guys I need your help! Please comment what you thought even if you hated it! This is my first time writing anything and I need to know what you think so that I can improve :) . Thank yooooou!
Episode 3
Ruth
(Groans) Ouch! Wait what!? I’m awake!
Narrator (me)
Ruth stares at Unknown in shock.
Ruth
Where am I!? Who are you!?
Sylvia
You might want to ummmm keep sitting down for a while.
Sylvia
You’re not on your world anymore.
Narrator (me)
Ruth silently stares at Unknown and Sylvia gathering tears in her eyes. Confusion and intrigue crowd her mind.
Ruth
(Voice breaking slightly) What did you say?
Unknown
I’m sorry you’re not on earth anymore.. but did you say anything strange before you came here? A wish perhaps?
Ruth
(Voice trembles) Yeah... I guess.
Ruth
I said I wanted to be special.
Unknown
“Stares at Sylvia blankly”
Sylvia
“Also surprised” Kid you got your wish but the price was way too high.
Unknown
(Sighs) She means everyone you have ever known or loved has forgotten you and you can never see them again (mumbles indistinguishable words). In exchange you probably gained one or two of the heavenly hosts powers.
Sylvia
They are not angels or actual people but they are how we describe our.... elements... do you call them?
Unknown
Let’s see how many you have. Sylvia will cast a spell and she will see your magical... “stats” per say.
Sylvia
I promise it won’t hurt.
Sylvia
(Sylvia casts the “stats” spell)
Unknown
How much did you want your wish to come true exactly?
Narrator (me)
Everyone is uneasy
Sylvia
Something is definitely wrong. 100% wrong. Your not safe.
