Chapter I Haven't Updated In A While Don't Expect Me To Remember: Monsters (Matchbook Romance)
Gerard had peeered out the window as the pod landed on the grassy plains of the world of Disney Castle. Steam let out as the door had dropped down, letting the cool breeze blow through the opening into the pod. He stepped out, letting the dirt below him crunch. He took a couple steps forward and smelled the sweet air of the outside enter his lungs.
The myriad of grass blades had shone from the sun. It was cool and breezy. The blue skies above had looked down upon the endless plains that stretched to all sides. Gerard took his swords out the pod and put them into the sheathes on his back. He did a bit of stretching. He was a bit tired from the trip, but the oxygen flowing had helped him think.
The incessant footsteps from afar had grown louder and louder. Gerard looked down the path and watched as a large group of soldiers had marched towards him.
The Royal Carriage has come to escort me to the castle! SWEET! Gerard thought happily in his head. The armor of the knights had clanked and clanked until they had ceased marching. Gerard took a headcount and found that there was about ten people. One knight stood in front. He rolled a parchment down and had began to recite it. "By the Order of the Disney Knights, we are to capture any outsiders traveling by Spaceship, Craft, Pod, and or shuttle. According to law number three ninety four, we are to send you to the Disney jail. There, you will be sent back to where ever you came from," the knight said.
Gerard was confused. "I thought you were the Royal Escort?"
"Yeah. The Royal Escort for you to jail. Now, if you will please," the knight said. Gerard had examined the knights. They were armed with swords, shields, and pikes. Fighting was not the best idea, nor the brightest. Assuming that the castle was behind them, it could've been possible to outrun them.
Girl, what's come between you and me?
look right through me
I'll let it go
I can't help this feeling anymore
I won't go anywhere
maybe you'll see me.
He walked back into the pod put on his jacket. He stepped back out again and pointed behind the pod. "LOOK!" he yelled. In uniform, they all did. Gerard had ran behind them. The dirt cruching constantly below his feet as he dug deeper into the ground, giving him steadier foorting.
we are
we are the shaken
we are the monsters
underneath your bed
yeah
believe what you read
we are
we are mistaken
we are the voices
inside your head
yeah
believe what you see
Gerard had run faster and faster, but the sound of the familiar armor clanking louder and louder had grown closer and closer. Gerard looked back to see the knights charging towards him furiously. The quiet breeze was replaced with the sound of heavy armor clanking, and clanking. It was almost unbearable. Gerard looked forward and saw a castle. He knew for sure that it was the so called Disney Castle.
it came as no surprise
you bring me back to life
believe me
you bleed for me
i'll bleed for you
i caught you walking through walls
drowned with applause
from the world that makes me crazy
He had started to slow down. He looked back at a knight who easily caught up to him by horse. Gerard put his sheath between the legs of the horse and watched it fall over. He continued running and he had almost run out of breath. They were growing closer and closer. Gerard's situation grew dim.
we are
we are the shaken
we are the monsters
underneath your bed
yeah
believe what you read
we are
we are mistaken
we are the voices
inside your head
yeah

In no time at all, they had caught up to Gerard. He was struck on the head and he had fell over. Opening his eyes, he found himself on a bed. He looked around to see a bunk on top of him. His clothes were replaced a shirt and pants with black and white horizontal pinstripes, which seemed too cliche. He looked past the cells and looked towards the end to see two familiar smiles. The smiles of Yuna and Asuka.
