The first encounter
Source
A sharp buzz sound startled Jasmine from her dream world and brought her back to reality. The sound came again and this time with strong vengeance that would make anyone think they'd been at war. After the third cry, she finally came to her senses enough to push the pink duvet away from her body and drag her self out of bed.
Her small well molded legs fitted in her favorite dog faced slippers as walked towards the corridor. When she reached the living room she started to wonder who was outside her house by this time, it was just past 5am in the morning. She looked through the door hole to see who it was but there was no one there. Was she having another weird dream or was someone trying to prank her again? She sighed and turned to go back to her beautiful bed when she heard her doorbell ring again.
Frustrated, she pulled the door open and peered through, but there was still no one there. "Hello miss?", the tiny voice almost made Jasmine jump out of her skin in shock. She looked down to find a red furred Chipmunk starring right at her. It had the strangest look ever, it wore what looked like a suit and carried with it a tiny suitcase and had on big googles.
" Er, miss Jasmine?, can we have a word?", It said again and this time it had a more serious look. Still speechless, she just starred at it frozen, what was the probability that she'd wake up to find a chipmunk àctually talking, how's that even possible? Was she going crazy or was she in some kind of trance?
"Ma'am, this is really important, I think your life depends on it, can I come in?", She just nodded as the little creature walked inside her apartment and then she locked the door. She walked cautiously behind it for any slight suspicious move would send her running for help. Why was the universe punishing her, as if being ridiculed by her boss after the worst presentation ever wasn't enough, now she was talking with animals.
"My name is Jiggy and I'm your personal spirit guardian", it said matter of factly and looked at her for any sign that she was following him. "I've been watching you for a while now, actually since you were born and up until now I havn't had any reason to present myself".
"Tell me this is some kind of joke or something, there's no way in hell you're actually talking, I must be going crazy", she placed both hands on her head and tried to shake her self to her right senses, the she rubbed both eyes but the chipmunk was still right on top of her couch starring at her like she was insane.
"Jasmine, there's no time for any jokes. Something terrible has happened and I need to get you away from here as fast as possible", it brought forward it's suitcase before she could mutter anything else and opened it. It looked like a kind of computer device, one she hadn't seen before in her life and then she watched as Jiggy typed in something and then like a projector it popped up some images. Was she seeing clearly? That was her mom carrying a little baby, wait that was her!
"Your mother, the fifth and last Mother Guardian of the Spirit world had placed you under my care after perceiving her death. After she died the Spirit world went into chaos and a certain sect with a leader Ziko rose up with the aim of taking power and seizing the human world for themselves. They can only do that with the blood of the descendants of the original Mother Guardians and since your mother was one it means you share her blood. The ritual however can only be performed when you come of age and since it's your 25th birthday today, you're in as much danger as the word danger itself, I need to get you somewhere safe".
Jasmine, stunned, couldn't believe her ears. After her mother's death she'd tried to live her life the best way she could but she always ended up ruining everything. Her father, heart broken had left her in the custody of her godparents who loved her so much but she'd always hated them for showing her so much loved even if she wasn't their real child. Secretly, she missed her mother so much and wished she hadn't gone so soon, now to had to her problems, they're a group of psychos after her.
"Jimmy or whatever you said your name was, there's no way I'm going anywhere with you. No wa...", another buzz sound stopped her dead in her speech. The chipmunk looked at her and she looked at it.....
