Joy, a cheerful village full of cheerful people. But as far as we heard, a great challenge lays inside the old thing.

A small wheat field separated the lush forest from Joy. The three of us walked down a dirt road leading to the village.

"Hrmph" I grunted as I hopped up the steps leading to the gate...

"Whoa" Ted said amazed by the village.

It was a sight to see it was. It was a small cosy village, Cobble Street, cottages and cabin like houses. Least of all the town hall. The thing was made from bricks, red bricks, and a bellower slapped on its rotunda. The rotunda being a dome glassed ceiling/roof.

We walked down the cobble road. It felt more of a vacation, we acted more like tourists than lost children. Well, that was until we noticed the town folks were staring at us.

"ermm, Ted it kinda feels awkward" I whispered to Ted's ear. 

"Oh come on now junior, focus on our goal!" Ted said. 

"f*ck these people, we have to find Sammy!" Cole said. 

It kinda bothers me how I was able to be friends with such confident out-going people, their completely different from who I am. Well I'll just thank Sammy for it later...

while I was deep in thought thunder roared across the once blue sky. The townsfolk clamoured by the sudden change of weather.

Suddenly pieces of paper rained down.

One after the other just piled after the other. Ted reached out his hand with a confused face as pieces of paper fell onto his. 

"Huh" Cole said befuddled. All of us noticed that all the paper falling suddenly.

"People of Joy" A man's voice echoed throughout the village.

We turned our heads. We saw a man on top of the roof of City Hall, standing atop the roof he looked down on us. Wearing a long coat, while his flowy hair danced to the wind.

The people around us clamor seeing such a peculiar person calling their attention at such a 'weird' location.

"These 3 outsiders are Hope!" he said, his voice thundering.

The people around us gasp, "That can't be" One person in the crowd said, "I can't believe it" another person remarked. "BURN 'EM" A person said...

"The f*ck?!" Cole said looking at the direction where the voice came from.

"Welcome to Someplace else, Hope" He, the man on top of city hall, said

The crowd slowly approached us. Huddled together they were like angry villagers with pitchforks... actually they WERE angry villagers with pitchforks.

"OH sh***t" Cole said, stepping backwards, she wasn't scared by the slightest. 

"Wanna fight! lets fight then!" 

Ted panicking as the angry mob came closer "What are you an idiot". Ted yelled at Cole. 

He picked Cole and me and ran. 

Cole's trying to pry from Ted's grasp "What the hell! let go of me TED! these people gotta learn, they gotta learn to not mess with us!".

"You idiot! are you trying to die? talk back when that peanut brain of yours sprouts" Ted talked back.

He ran carrying both me and Cole trying to run away from the mob.
