Paradise Lost

Chapter 1

You can't experience life without feeling the pain

Jonas dog howled at the moon. Jonas slept through it. Of course Jonas wasn't his real name. His real name was Jonathon Edward White. The name is weird, which forced him to use his nickname. Saying "Jonathon" was a bit too long, so everyone just said Jonas. Jonas sat up, and stretched. The dog walked over and rested his head on Jonas knee. He petted the dog. "What's wrong buddy?" Jonas said, the dog took his head over and walked over to the closet. "Someone in there?" The dog turned and looked at him, he pointed with his snout at the closet. Jonas stood up and grabbed his rifle. He aimed the gun at the closet and walked over to it slowly. He opened the closet.

"What the [censored]? MOM? DAD? MOM!" Jonas yelled and dropped the rifle. He caught his mom falling out of the closet.

"Jonas, get out... Get out now!" Jonas's mother coughed, "Go west... there's a place where... none... of this... could happen." Jonas's mother fell limp. His father was laying up against the wall of the closet. Jonas looked at his mother, hot liquid started to come out of the corner of his eye.

"Mom? Mom? Come on mom stay with me! We can get help! Come on stay with me mom. I love you, so much. Don't die, come on Mom stay with me!" Jonas sobbed, his tears were pouring out of his eyes. He heard a door open, Jonas didn't hear it. He was crying, tears falling on his mother's dead body. His dog walked over and licked him on the ear. Jonas kept crying but started to pet his dog. Eventually letting go of his mother and burying his face into his dog's fear. "Why? Why did this happen to me? Spike, why me?" Jonas's said while crying, "WHY!?" Spike licked his face and rested his head on Jonas's shoulder.

"It's okay Jonas's, it's okay. I know how you feel. Jonas I love you, your my best friend, come on I know it hurts but come on we've got to leave." Jonas's questioned himself immediately, Did... Did Spike just [censored] talk to me? What the [censored] is going on? Is this a dream? All just a horrible nightmare? "Jonas's come on, let's go."

"Spike? How... How are you talking?" Jonas said while raising his head and rubbing his eyes.

"Well, I'm not exactly talking to you, I'm transferring our thoughts. I can completely understand you when you speak. If you think about anything, I know it. I've been doing this ever since you got me from that town. I just haven't spoke, or thought as you say in your language I've managed to learn over the years." Spike "thought" Jonas mind drifted for a bit doubting Spike. To see if Spike was lying, Jonas thought of a Naked Woman. "I can see that Jonas. Your a perverted little [censored] when you sleep." Spike said.

"WHAT THE [censored]?" Jonas yelled, he jumped up and backed up against the wall. Spike walked over to him. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? WHAT THE [censored] IS HAPPENING?"

Chapter 2

Waking up is the hardest thing you'll ever do.

Jonas raised out of the bed sweating, tears coming out of his eyes. He looked over at the clock, 6:30 A.M. The same time the dream ended, at the same time with the same results. Jonas waking up with sweat and tears covering him. He raised out of the bed and walked over to his closet. He hesitated, then he opened the closet, remembering that it was just a dream. He opened the closet and grabbed a shirt. It was red and made out of cotton. He put it on, and grabbed black shorts from the closet. They were made from cotton too. Jonas walked over to the bathroom and walked in, closing the door behind him. He started the water and grabbed his toothbrush. He grabbed the toothpaste from the mirror cabinet in front of him. Jonas put the toothpaste on the toothbrush. He brushed them and rinsed his mouth out. Jonas rubbed his hands on a towel behind him and stepped outside the bathroom. He walked down the steps and into his kitchen. He opened up the fridge and grabbed some milk. He drank it from the bottle. He rubbed his mouth and looked towards the garage. The door was open. Jonas walked over to it and closed it. Miranda must have left it open. I wish she didn't have to work today, I miss her. Well, I guess I'll go play some games. I'm am bored as hell. Jonas thought to himself. He looked around the house and saw the emptiness, except for his 72' HD TV, Ps3, and his brand New Xbox 360. His PC rested upstairs, Jonas suddenly didn't feel like dealing with his PC today. It's has been a [censored] lately. Can't play Fallout. Weird.

He walked over to his TV and turned it on. He reached over and turned on the Xbox 360. He saw the dashboard come on. He saw Fallout New Vegas was already in there. Miranda signed in, weird, I know she had to leave really early. I know she's not a early raiser. Jonas questioned, he signed out and signed into his profile. "An Undead Lord" He grabbed the controller and sat down on the couch. He turned on the controller and turned on New Vegas. He played for at least 3 hours, enjoying the great writing of Obsidian. He turned off the Xbox and started to watch TV. He watched 3 movies, the names he could care less, he was just using them to waste time. He heard a door open.

"Jonas! I'm home!" Miranda yelled while carrying some bags. Jonas walked into the kitchen and helped her with the bags.

"Go to the grocery store? How was work today?" Jonas asked while putting eggs into the fridge.

"Jonas I hate my boss so much, she's such a [censored]. So are all my co-workers, all they do is slack off all day and I do all the work around there." Miranda said while handing Jonas a 2-liter of Dr. Pepper.

"Yes you do, and that's why you earn the money honey!" Jonas said while looking at Miranda, she walked over and kissed him. "I love you Miranda."

"I love you too. Now, I think it's a good time for me to play some games." Miranda said while walking over to the TV and gaming systems. Leaving Jonas to finish putting up the groceries. After all that he walked out of the kitchen and saw Miranda playing Battlefield 3. She was doing pretty good, Jonas saw her pull up the screen, 25-2. Jonas walked upstairs and headed towards his PC. He had to get some work done. He was a published author, with a bestseller. His agent was excepting his new book within the next two months. Jonas sat down and pulled up a pirated version of Microsoft Word. They sure as hell aren't going to catch me paying for that! Jonas thought with a smirk to his face. He pulled open his book file, "Loose Ends" He had 5 chapters done but needed 10 more. He began to work, until his email popped open on it's own. This surprised Jonas, and he suspected that a virus had gotten into his computer. He opened the email, as it said something about him. Jonas began to read the email and smirked, it was a prank email. Someone begging for help in a alternate world. He laughed. He read them over again

"Jonathon, I need your help. I need you to open the file connected to this email. I'm stuck in this world and I need help!" Jonas ran a virus scan and found none, he scanned the email and found nothing. He decided to take a chance and open the attachment. The file downloaded quickly and opened up a box saying, "Are you ready to take on the World?" It came with two options, Yes and No. Jonas was intrigued, he clicked yes, then the box disappeared. Jonas leaned back against the chair and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he saw someone grabbing him.

"WHAT THE [censored]!?" Jonas screamed.

Chapter 3

When you wake up in a weird place, don't move, there's bound to be a briefing

Jonas's was dragged through a portal that had spawned in his world. He was still confused as hell and wondering why the portal was defying the laws of physics. He looked through the portal, it looked like a desert. The person taking him through this portal was carrying a rifle on his back, pistol on his waist, knife strapped to his leg. "LET ME GO CRAZY [censored]!" Jonas's yelled.

"You agreed to the email. Your here to help me, whether you like it or not." The person yelled, Jonas puzzled just shut up. Jonas looked back through the portal. Jonas felt a final pull, then he saw the wall of portal in front of him. The person had picked him up to get through the portal. Jonas looked through the portal and saw the thing he was fearful of. Never seeing Miranda again, she ran into his room holding a baseball bat. She looked through the portal and saw Jonas. She attempted to put her hand through the portal to grab Jonas, only to have her hand stopped by a invisible force field. Jonas was thrown on the ground by the person who had dragged him through. He crawled over and started to beat the force field. Failing, he put his hands where Miranda was.

"Miranda, can you hear me?" Jonas asked, tears forming in his eyes.

"Jonas? How did you get in there?" Miranda said, Jonas looked deep into her eyes while have one tear go down the side of his cheek.

"I don't know, this... email. It asked me if I was ready to take on the world. I clicked yes. I'm sorry Miranda, I'll get out of this, one way or another. I promise." Jonas said while having tears go down his clean face. "I lo..." The portal shut close instantly. Jonas turned around and saw the man who had pulled him through that dreaded portal standing there holding a button.

"You know, I once was in love. She died, because of me." The man said, he pulled out his pistol and set it on a table nearby. Jonas looked around and suddenly realized he was in a room.

"WHY?! WHY THE HELL DID YOU TAKE ME?! WHERE THE HELL AM I?! WHO THE [censored] ARE YOU?!" Jonas yelled at the man rubbing his gun off.

"Like I [censored] said, you agreed to the mail. Your in the Mojave Desert. Welcome to my little hell hole. most people know me as "The Courier" but I call myself Nick. You shall call me Nick. Now calm down, you'll see your hot girlfriend when were finished. Trust me..."

"TRUST YOU? TRUST YOU?! YOU JUST [censored] KIDNAPPED ME! GO. [censored]. YOURSELF." Jonas yelled, then his eyes widened as a gun was put in his mouth.

"Say [censored] one more time. Say it. I swear to god I will pull this trigger." Nick said while lowering his ear to Jonas mouth. Only to hear sobs from the tall, slim man. Nick pulled the gun out and heard Jonas start to cry.

"I just wanted to write. I'm just scared, fearful. And then you put a gun in my mouth? Just let me go. Let me go back to my little paradise. With my wife. LET ME GO!" Jonas said while sobbing and hanging his head in between his knees. "Nick, why me? Why someone who can't fight, why someone who has a chronic injury in his wrist?"

"I picked you, because your the only one who knows this place better then me. You controlled me for months, different people different reactions, I remember it all." Nick said while walking over to Jonas, "Here take this, it's my prized gun. Use it carefully, it breaks, I break you." Nick handed him a rifle with a feather on it.

"Medicine Stick? Your giving me your Medicine Stick? When the hell am I going to use it? What do you need me for?" Jonas said holding the gun in two hands and looking at Nick.

"I need you to, sadly screw my wife." Nick said looking down.

"WHAT?!" Jonas yelled, Nick looked up with a smirk.

"I'm joking, chill out." Nick said, "No, I need someone to go undercover in this area I've heard about, it's west of here. I've heard it's literally paradise. Untouched by Nuclear War. They know me and won't let me in. I need you to act the part of a starving wastelander and figure out the secret of this place. I need you because you sure as hell look like you haven't eaten in weeks and you know all the skills to do it all." Jonas looked at him and gave him a puzzled look.

"Your [censored] crazy." Jonas said walking away.

Interesting.

The dog reminds me of the movie A Boy and His Dog (which I would be suprised if the dog is not a reference or, at the least, an inspiration of).

I also like the humor in it, good work.

Thanks, it's my first attempt at this kind of story, I usually write it with one world, now I've got two to work with. The humor is just there to get a chuckle or two. I'm not a comedian.

Thanks, the comedy isn't a big part of it all. As I'm not a good joke teller, but I'll throw in a few funny lines here and there.

Chapter 4

How does one teleport?

Jonas felt a gun barrel press against his head. He raised his hands and said with a whimper, "Don't shoot me. Please." Jonas felt the gun move. But not away from his head, "I'll do want you need me too." Jonas said, the gun receded from his head.

"The wasteland isn't as forgiving as me. Jonathon. Let's get going." Nick said while holstering his gun, he brought his pip-boy up to his face. He pressed the data tab and picked the world map. He moved the map to Vegas, and selected move to location. "This might make you dizzy. Or kill you." Nick said while grabbed Jonas's shirt. They teleported, somehow. Jonas felt his feet leave the ground. He figured he was being pushed only to blink and open his eyes to see the Strip's gate. Then Jonas felt nothing below him and dropped. Presumably breaking his ankle.

"OW! [censored]!" Jonas screamed, Nick looked over and saw his ankle. He picked him up easily. Nick walked past the robots the guarded the Strip's gate. He opened them up and headed towards the Lucky 38. "[censored] MY ANKLE!" Jonas said. Nick sighed and pulled a med-x that was sitting in his pocket. He stuck it into Jonas's leg. "Ow! [censored] that hurt. Oh wait, that numbs the pain. Got any painkillers?" Jonas said while the Med-X kicked in.

"What the hell is painkillers?" Nick said with a questioning look on his face. Nick walked into the Lucky 38 and headed towards the elevator.

"You know Vikaden? Oh wait that's right, I've been kidnapped into the Fallout New Vegas Game world. I forgot most likely because I've had guns pointed at me!" Jonas said. Nick pushed the "Presidential Suite" button. The elevator started to go up.

"Oh shut the [censored] up." Nick said as the doors closed and he waited for the elevator to open up. Nick had a headache from Jonas complaining. The elevator opened up and then a Ghoul stood there.

"Hey boss, who is that?" The Ghoul said, Jonas looked at him.

"Raul?" Jonas said, he passed out from the site of the Ghoul.

"Oh [censored] me." Nick said, "Boone! Get in here and help me put this guy on a bed." Boone came running in. He helped Nick pick up Jonas. They walked him into the master bedroom. They threw him on the bed.

"So, who the hell is this guy?" Boone said, looking at Jonas and thinking he has weird clothes.

"Look, I'll explain it once we get everyone in the dining room." Nick said rubbing his forehead. He sat down and took the Medicine Stick from Jonas. He sat it on the night stand next to him. He walked into the dining room. His companions were there standing. "Okay, look, I've got some good news and some bad news." Nick said while looking around the room, "The guy here is Jonathon, or just Jonas. The good news is he's going to help us with the so called paradise. The bad news is he has no [censored] idea how to survive or shoot in the wasteland. So, want do we have to do with him? We have to teach him how to," Nick looked at Veronica, "Fight," He looked at Boone, "Shoot," He looked at Cass, "Use grenades," Nick looked at Raul, "And finally repair his weapons."

"Great, I get to teach him how to punch people!" Veronica said with her cheery voice.

"I'll get started soon." Boone said, Cass nodded with the statement.

"Whatever you think is best boss." Raul said.

"Okay, then we'll start tommorow. He's still a little shell shocked, besides, I've got to treat his leg." Nick said while standing up.

Woah... wouldn't that be cool? Imagine a portal opens up and I end up in the Fallout world, or in Skyrim, or Cyrodiil! I wonder if I just settle down somewhere though, not sure if I could really deal with Deathclaws, or Falmer, or Dragons, or Dremoras LOL

Man, I can't wait to see how Jonas is going to adjust to that new world! :)
