Chapter 2 - Perfect City

Lynn

"How did I end up here again?" I asked myself sitting on a chair in some strangers house. Looking down at my wrist I saw bandages, I had no feeling in my hand at all. No idea what had happened, no idea where I was and no idea how I got here. This is just getting better and better.

The room I was in was pretty big and it was very home like. Looking back at my lap I thought about something for a second. I couldn't remember hurting my wrist...what happened to me?

Suddenly the bedroom door opened and inside walked a figure. Looking at the build it was girl, though I couldn't see her face since she had a hood on. In her hands she was holding a plate with food. What worried me were all the weapons she had on her.

She placed the plate at the window right next to were I was seated. "You feeling better?" She asked in a voice that sounded so gentle. It wasn't really a girly voice, but not a boyish voice either. I liked it to be honest.

Then I realized I was staring at her not answering the question. "I'm fine...Where am I actually? And how did I get here?" I asked looking at her with a very questioning look.

She took the chair next to me and turned it with the back facing me. She sat down backwards on her chair leaning her arms on the back. "You got yourself hurt during that fight, so I carried you here since you passed out from blood lose." She explained very calm.

Fight? Right, in that ally way...she saved me. Then that one guard came charging at her and something within me forced me to pick up that sword. That's probably how I got the wound. Wait, she carried me?

She stood back up and placed the chair back in place. It kinda bothered me that I couldn't see her face, not that I cared just out of politeness. "You can spend the night here it will be dark soon, I'll bring you home tomorrow." She said walking towards the door.

For some reason I shot up and grabbed her wrist stopping her. She turned to look at me, with probably a confused expression. I don't know why I did that so I started to think about what to say.

"Something wrong?" She asked.

Then a question popped up in my head. "Yea, you didn't tell me where I am." I said. It was right, I did ask but she didn't answer the question. Soon I realized my hand was still holding her arm and let go as a small blush appearing on my cheeks. Not now!

The girl was now smirking, I could tell. I might not be able to see her complete face, but I could see her mouth.

"Go outside and find out." She said. The sound of her voice told me that she was smiling when saying that. Then she was out of the door leaving me alone.

I turned back to the window to look outside. The sun was slowly going down, but I could still go outside.

I glanced around the city. It was small and surrounded by big walls, I think I was in the middle since the gate was in a straight line from the house.

On the roofs were no guards like I'm used to. The town looked lively as there was some sort of party going on. I really wanted to go out and explore.

The only problem was my stupid clothes. Wearing a dress was something I had to, so our family seemed like a high class family. I hated it, we already were so why care more?

I looked around the room and spotted a dresser against the wall in the corner. I opened it and saw all kinds of clothes for women. They weren't fancy dresses, but more for people who wanted to be able to move a lot.

This was perfect. Taking a white undershirt with short sleeves and a pair of normal pants I also added a leather sleeveless shirt. I looked into the mirror and saw a more casual version of myself.

On the way out I picked up some boots that were next to my bed and ran down the stairs. The house was big, but I aimed for the big door to the outside.

Before I could even open the door I heard a voice. "Hey! You must be that one girl Dawn saved!" A very cheerful voice said.

Turning around I met a girl with long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes just like me. She was wearing something similar to me only more green added. She had a kind smile on her face.

Without being able to answer she was already dragging me out the door into the city.

Outside the house was a big front yard and stables at the left with horses. Going down some stairs we ended up in the actual village, the house I was in looked like the central building. The head building.

"I didn't catch your name." The girl said looking behind her. Well I didn't catch yours either.

She suddenly stopped walking in the middle of the market that was filled with people and shops. "Euh, Lynn." I answered glancing around. It was a very lively town, unlike were I lived. People didn't even smile there.

"Well my name is Sky, I'm Dawn her younger sister." She said with a kind smile. Dawn? Who is Dawn? Am I supposed to now someone with that name?

She probably could tell by my face that I was confused. "Oh Dawn is the one who brought you here. With the hood." She explained. So her name is Dawn huh?

"Oh, she didn't mention." I replied.

"Nothing weird about that, she isn't that open to people. It did surprise me that she brought you here though. Normally she would leave people behind after her job is done." Sky explained. "Oh well, let's go! I want to show you the town!" She said grabbing my wrist again.

----

Me and Sky finally arrived back at the house she lived in and I was staying over. She showed me all of the city and told about it.

The city wasn't big, but well defended and very lively. Everywhere we went people said hi and smiled. Like some sort of perfect city.

I watched out the window in my bedroom, everyone else was already to bed. Better go as well, I have to get home tomorrow.
