PART 1

[The Next Day]

"Hey! Kid!" A voice was ringing around my head

"Wake up! We'll find a job, if you don't want to get hungry."

The voice is getting louder. While I slowly opening my eyes, Sun rays are radiating at my face, or so I thought

*THUMP! THUD! THUD!*

*BAAAM!*

I saw a flying right leg which threw me out of the room

-,-

She locked the door and walk away rapidly, like someone is chasing her. Well, the truth is, I am literally chasing her

"It's mean to just hit someone out of the blue like that!"

I said in a low voice. Wow! She just look at me like 'Nah, I don't care!' She's kind! Yeah! She's a very very KIND! Hays! I stop walking and glanced down the alley

*GASP!*

"Hey, Milady...! You have to... Save your 'FRIENDS'!"

I shouted it out loud. Well, of course, so that it can reach her out! In a situation she doesn't want to face. I'll have her to face it so she can make her resolve. In the time she can't make one, then I'll guide her to the end

"..."

Gladly, she stop walking, she downturned her head and lowered her shoulder.

"Milady, they took route 51, and you know what's in there"

"Huh!? I remember now. Oh yeah! It happened so many times. When they find out who I was I would end my act of friendship"

She replied while gesturing her hands here and there. Aw! I never saw that coming. How far you'll hold to that, Milady? But, nah! I'm waiting for you, Mademoiselle

"Friends, huh...? I was mistaken" She set her foot forward slowly

"It's the same as all those other times... Well, that girl was just another mark" She sighed and scratch her lower back

"..."

Aw! You sure 'bout that? I can feel your heart, Milady. You're lying, don't you? This time, it's worst.

"Do you really mean that?"

"Yes! If I care too much, I can't do my job"

Her sudden answer left a needle in my heart. Still, giving up on you won't be allowed in my presence

"Ahhh... I guess I'll go back to being a larcenist"

Oyyyyy! Milady! Hmmmm... I won't let you go down that path again... You're being too hard to yourself, Milady

"You'll die!"

"You think? HA HA HA! No, I won't! Bad-ass girl like me has a long trip to ride! And my first ride is closing that gate"

She confidently answered yet I can feel her trembling voice, but acting tough, huh?

"Speaking of which, Milady, where would I find one of those gates you were talking about last night?"

"Right there! That's a Gate"

She pointed something up in the sky. Ohhh! It's fascinating She pointed at the huge rectangular platform above with a magical purple hollow space spinning. Was it a portal? Then a blazing golden flame is occupying each corner. There are also two stone gargoyles floating around unknowingly, it seems the guardian of it. The doorstep and the land were connected by a visible helix stair decorated by strange iron bars that gives of bluish-white dim light
