C2: The Town Encounter

I was walking around the city when I finally found the road leading to the other kingdoms. Each kingdom has 4 towns and 1 city, the city being where the king lives. Our job was to keep each town at peace and dictate it as well as negotiate and make sure we don't get into a fight with another kingdom. When I tried to escape last time, I didn't even make it out of the city. I knew since people knew me well, I couldn't stay in my own kingdom. I went forward and started walking. I brought my phone with me for emergency purposes and went on the map for where all the kingdoms are. The kingdom of North Valley was only a few minutes away. I decided that I would just walk and save my money for when I get there.

When I arrived, It was beautiful, way better than our kingdom. There were neon lights everywhere, with loads of casinos, clubs, karaoke bars, and malls. I took a look at the entrance of the area and saw that the town was named SanMoo. One thing I couldn't find though was a hotel. As much as the lights were nice, it was blinding. Not to mention, there were so many people out and it was already getting close to midnight.

I found a pathway that lead to many more. It was like a whole maze, each one going to different backs of buildings. I wasn't the only one there. Couples were making out in different places, friends carrying their other friends that were totally wasted, and others smoking. I found myself in an area with one other person, deciding to ask him for help.

"Excuse me, sir," I said. "Do you know the closest hotel by any chance?" He looked down on me, rolled his eyes, and broke eye contact looking like he was searching for something. "Look girly, I don't have time now. Search one up on google or something?" That wasn't a bad idea so I did what he said. As if the world wanted me to specifically talk to this dude, my phone died on the spot.

"Well, look at that, my phone died. It doesn't matter if it's just a small motel. I just need a place to sleep"

"Ask someone else then" He was still looking around.

"Ok then. It looks like your pretty busy anyways. I'll just ask...", I looked around to see some guys walking our way, "I'll just ask them" The guy looked at the guys and his eyes slightly widened. His face, though, was still unfazed. He looked at me and in a rush, I was picked up and put in a dumpster. What a great way to start off my escape from an already trashy home. I heard gunshots fire and then yelling and cussing. I wanted to take a peak but then something pounded on the lid of the dumpster. After a while, the noise started to quiet down and I decided to get out. However, the lid somehow couldn't open. I put all my force on it, but it wouldn't budge. I then felt something brush my leg. I check to look and it was a rat. I screamed at the top of my lungs until the dumpster opened by the guy from before.

"Oops. My bad. I forgot you were in there." I helped myself out and looked at him.

"Oops?! You throw me in the garbage and forget about me?! You're a jerk! "

"You are bad with 'thank you's. Nonetheless you're welcome" he said with a smile on his face. It took me a while to even notice his once white shirt became a crimson red. His once slick back hair was a mess and his face had multiple cuts on it. Around me were five bodies, all dead with blood pooling around them. "Oh, by the way, there's a hotel that's nearby. Go down this way and take a right, you'll see it with a big yellow sign."

I spared no time talking and ran off searching for the hotel.

What have I gotten into?!, I thought.

Thanks for reading this chapter. Who do you think this mystery person is?
