"I... What? H-how is that supposed to help!?"

The girl pulls Amelia in close.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"A-Amelia."

"Nice to meet you Amelia. My name is Tsumi. I can't tell you everything right now but if you stab yourself with that knife you'll get super powers. Super powers are cool, right?"

"I..."

"Also a monster is coming here that'll kill me and probably you too. If that helps you make your choice. You can't see it because it's invisible."

seems legit, stabby stabby

This seems the opposite of legit. Get away from this crazy broad.

Superpowers are awesome. Stab yourself in the stomach!

If this kills me I will haunt you so hard you will wish I was something harmless like Rosemarie's baby!

stab self.

This... This lady has no fucking clue how to sound legit.
Welp, someone this bad at sounding legit has to be legit! Stabby stabby!

Against all common sense Amelia takes the blade and plunges it into her stomach. She feels no pain, only a surge of energy coming straight from her stomach and spreading through her body.
She feels her clothes melt away, quickly replaced by a red robe.

"Red? And you're not even fully changed.. The Hunter would've been a lot better but I guess this is to be expected for your first time. Did it hurt?"

"W-what happened to me!?

"You pushed yourself beyond the Fourth Wall. Now that you're on that side of the Wall you can interact with the other things on that side. Like the Wolf that's about to kill us."

"W-what!? What do I dooo!?"

"You gotta use that imagination! What kind of weapon would She have!"

"Who's she!?"

"CHOOSE NOW!"

Gotta go with a giant book filled with all the fanfiction ever written.

>>468720
I was going to say axe but this sounds pretty damn awesome.

A axe is the traditional wolfkilling weapon but I prefer a gun that shoots beartraps.

Also "She" seems to be red riding hood, what with the red cloak and clothes and the basket of goodies for grandma. It seems we should have picked fantasy.

Isn't it clear? An axe made of wood from the cherry tree young George chopped down. The shaft, wrapped in vines of silver, and the blade decorated with leaves of gold.

>>468722
That's a terrible weapon. Unless you can make them read it.

>>468724
If we can imagine special properties, a throwing axe that always returns to its owner would be ideal. Otherwise I'm gonna say a halberd with an axehead on it, like so.

I like the axe idea. Classic for your role. And I can think of a couple Little Reds who didn't need a hunter. Look in your basket I bet its already there.

reach into your goody basket and pull out THE AXE OF WASHINGTON, capable of cutting through both lies and cherry trees in a single swing.

>>468726
you're sadist :D, upvote for ridiculous hard to draw weapon

Amelia reaches into her basket and pulls out...
The Axe of Washington. The blade has a picture of Washington after the famous Battle of Broken Hearts where he fought his best friend Benjamen Franklin to a standstill upon a rainy field.

"What the... You can Balance too..?"

>Washington's Axe

i can dig it

Axe the wolf. Lop off his head, chop off his limbs. AXEFRENZY WHIRLWIND!

The Wolf moves closer to Amelia, she can hear it panting and growling.
Amelia clutches her axe and takes a step away from it.

"What're you waiting for! Kill it!"

"I.. I've never killed anything before..."

"It's kill it or die! Guess which is the better of the two choices!"

I can't kill the thing.. There's no way.. It's huge..
It looks like it could just rip me apart..

>>468742
YOU ARE THE HERO OF THIS STORY
THE HERO DOES NOT HESITATE
THE HERO KICKS ASS

Then you aren't you at the moment. You are possessed by Washington, And Roosevelt. And Lincoln. All of them together fighting in you to battle the oppression and fear which this wolf represents. Strike him down in the name of freedom from tyranny!

Washington didn't lay down and die, so nether can you!

>>468742
Your axe is huge too! Do you want to shame George Washington by being too afraid to fight? Swing it like you MEAN it.

Wait wait, time to subvert up this bitch. Imagine the wolf into your faithful hound snuffles who would never harm you. Your will can shape reality! Bend the world to your whims!

If that fails try talking to it(diplomacy!). If that fails chop of its head like the rabid beast it is. Also orange girl seems a bit to enthusiastic about the whole killing thing.

this thing isn't big, you are big. About as big as Abraham Lincoln, the Conqueror of the villanous slavers. He was a mountain of a man, wish a tall chimney hat that reached to the sky. Be that big, reach the sky.

Amelia imagines herself as one of the legends of (fake) history. She closes her eyes and swings the Axe of Washington at the beast cutting it's head off in one slash.
The Wolf doesn't even have the chance to utter a sound before it collapses to the ground and vanishes

I did it..

"Amazing. To be honest I kind of expected both of us to die here but you managed to kill that thing. A lot better then I did too.. I think you might be able to have a stronger innate ability to Balance than I ever did."

>>468760
Ask her what she means by Balance, and if she needs help with that wound of hers.

"well can you do some exposition?"

Ok that feeling you had like you were going to freak out? Now's the time.

See if you can ask what the hell is going on somewhere during that.

To balance what, against what?
Seriously, when I saw a naked lady in the street I was expecting the sexy times, not Little Red Riding Hood. I need to make sense of all of this.

imagine up some bandages and disinfectant to patch her up(your grandmother could have gotten injured in a hunting accident, it's always best to be prepared). Also ask her what the heck Balance is. Revive the wolf into your faithful hound Snuffles. Then continue on to visit you grandmother, make sure she isn't a wolf shapeshifter when you reach her.

With the Wolf gone Amelia is able to finally relax
and flip out.
As she waves her arms around her red hood and axe vanish along with the wolf's body. There is only a piece of paper left where the wolf was.

"Shush shush shush.."

"Why is this happening!? Why was I wearing read!? How did I even lift up that axe!? What was that monster!?"

Tsumi places her hand over Amelia's mouth

"Shhhhh.... I will explain everything right now."

"I'm from a group of people with the ability to use Balance. Balance refers to keeping the two worlds, and by extension the Fourth Wall, separate from one another.
See... Every piece of literature written has an effect on the world beyond the Fourth Wall. Many of the creatures written in the story are created in the Lit World and the more well known a story the more powerful the creature there. Every once in a while the creature manages to break through the Fourth Wall and interact with this world, the Real World.
As one with the ability to Balance our job is to defeat and subdue anything that breaks through and send it back to their own world. Using that knife as you did we stab something we call the Spark in our bodies and make ourselves, temporarily, an imaginary being.
Now, most people who do stab themselves with the knife may have brought up like.. A normal axe or maybe some bread and jam but you were able to combine elements of the story with an innate power of your own.. You have the ability to Balance. You can Balance not only the Fourth Wall and the two worlds but also the ability a story gives you and your own stories that you've either read or written. I'm guessing you like history?

"Uhm.. Yeah..."

"Mmhmm.. Your loves for stories shines through in your ability to Balance. If you trained with me you'd probably become very powerful.. So, any questions?"

read the paper, it looks important.

>>468876
"Do I have to be naked, too?"

...why are you naked? And eviscerated? Did you mess up your self stabbing? ...seriously, would like some clothes, or first aid there?

And heck, why's it a bad thing if stories becomes real? There are lots of awesome stories! Think of all the good that could be done by letting certain things become real!

just imagine if your fanfiction about Washington got popular enough to become real.

and yeah, may want to get out of the street with naked girl.

>I'm naked. People here like that, right?

So wait, Tsumi is a literary character from beyond the fourth wall?

Part me wants to suggest kissing her just to shock her. I mean she is holding our face right there.

>>468899
this is best plan

>>468899
YES DO IT

Nope.

"Well uhm.. Why are you naked?"

"Oh, right.. Remember the Spark I mentioned? It has an actual physical place on our body and it helps channel our powers. With it we get dressed to reflect the character we take the form of. The Wolf was smart enough and ripped mine out of my body and with it went my clothing. That's also why I have this giant hole in my gut."

"Shouldn't we uhm... Get that looked at?"

"The hole? Nah it's fine. See I'm not actually from this world. I'm from beyond the Fourth Wall, the Lit World. I'm Tsumi from the book Tale of Princes. Probably never heard of it.. It was written by some really lonely hermit on a mountain. I think it sold 20 copies. Anyway, anything from there is pretty hard to kill. It takes damaging or severing our heads to really kill us off and even then so long as our Page is fine we can still regenerate back on the Lit World."

"Page?"

She shows Amelia the page that the Wolf left behind.

"This right here is the character's introduction. If I were to rip this up the Wolf would be gone completely. Not only from the Lit World but from here as well. It would drastically change the entire story forever. As those who Balance our job is to simply return these to the Lit World. There is a man here who can do just that."

"So... Why is it so bad that these people come here? There are so many people from stories that would be amazing to have in this world."

"There are and there have been plenty of good people who come here from the Lit World. I'm one of them of course. Others you may not even notice but they use the good they did in their tales and continue to do so here. However there are many that would not be so good.. Wouldn't want Jack the Ripper to cross over again would you? Besides it's all about keeping Balance. Some can live here, and a few of your own can live there. Some of your best writers have ventured into the Lit World. But if too many spill over from one side to the other then the Fourth Wall will crumble and that would bring about chaos everywhere. ... Hey let me borrow your sweater. It's cold. Don't worry, my blood won't stain it or anything. Wound is closing up already."

Amelia hands her sweater to Tsumi. Tsumi takes it and puts it on. She stands up and stares at Amelia.

"Amelia. I need to ask you something very important. My Spark has been ripped out and it won't recover for some time. Would you take over as the one who keeps Balance in this city for me? Just until I recover at least. And maybe longer if you wish to continue doing the job. I understand if you refuse of course."

you love making stories, but would being IN one be better?

i think so.

also you now got a great idea for a story about Washington hunting done a werewolf.

"Of course I will!"

New priority, destroying the Fourth Wall. This cannot possibly go wrong!

>Nope.
Yeah, I mean come on, guys. She looks nothing like Washington.

>Would you take over as the one who keeps Balance in this city for me?
Uh... alright. Can't let crazy people run amok. And I guess if I have this spark, I should learn how to use it. Do you have a place to stay on this side? Maybe I should lend you some more clothes.

"this is almost exactly like the opening of an anime called bleach, speaking of is it only people from books who show up in lit world or do anime and movie Characters exist as well?"

"Uhm.. Sure.."

"Great! You have a place to live, right? Yeah you don't seem like the type to have a man or anything. I'll be crashing there for a while. That cool? Awesome. Your life isn't gonna be the same again Amelia. It'll be an action packed thrill ride filled with lots of adventure."

"I can't really have any roommates.."

"Don't worry I don't take up too much room. You ready?"

"I guess.."

"Then let's go!"
