This Ugly and Despicable World

~Chapter 2: Lies~

"Where... is this?" I mumbled. There was a smiling woman in front of me. I seemed to know her here, but I did not know who she was in real life. The woman was dressed like royalty. Was she an empress of the Barsburg Empire? She just smiled at me happily.

Her rosy lips moved, but I could not make out what she was trying to say. A man dressed similarly to her walked over to me and I was lifted into the air.

"Who are you people?" I asked them. They laughed and moved their lips, though no words would escape. It seemed they couldn't hear me. I felt smaller than usual, so maybe this was a memory of my childhood.

No, impossible. There is no way that this could be a memory, considering I've lost all of them. Their faces began to become distorted and haunting darkness enveloped me.

I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I jolted upright in my bed and panted heavily. What was that? A dream? I sighed, got out of my bed, and walked outside. My name is Oliver Klein and I am a fifteen year-old farmer who lives in the sixth district. I have no memories of before I was five, but I've never let that stop me. I work on a small farm of mine out where hardly any people live. There's a small town nearby where I sell my goods and I meet my trusty clients.

I have no friends at all, but that doesn't matter. What does matter is that I am able to survive in this despicable world. I've become one of the most famous farmers among all the districts and I'm proud of it.

Today was the first day of the winter season, the one day that I had my break. It was impossible for me to plant and tend to edible crops during the winter, so my job became much easier. I normally took this time to go into town and browse the trader's goods and spend the extra spending money I had accumulated over the entire year.

But today was different. Today, we were instructed by the Barsburg Military to stay indoors at all times. Why? I don't know the answer to that. But if I want to keep my status as a high ranking farmer, I need to comply with their wishes.

There was a hard knock on the door which made me jump. Who in the world could that be? A criminal? I thought everyone was supposed to stay indoors today! The person at the door knocked again, this time harder.

"C-coming!" I stuttered. Honestly, I'm going to report whichever fool has been idiotic enough to show up at my door. I slowly opened the doors to find some members of the Barsburg Military.

"Oliver Klein?" One of the officers asked. He was tall and had thick raven hair that was tied back in a mini ponytail.

"Yes, thats me." I responded casually, "What brings you here today, officer?" One of the other officers with blazing red hair stepped up.

"Mister Oliver Klein, you are hearby arrested as order from Chief Norou of the Barsburg Military." The redhead spoke bluntly. I stood there taken aback.

"Um, perhaps you have the wrong Oliver Klein... I'm sure there are plenty others in this world." I said cautiously, "I have never commited a crime in my whole life!"

"Mister Klein, he wants you taken in because you used to be citizen of the Raggs Kingdom."

"What? If I remember clearly, I was told that I was a citizen of Barsburg." I was starting to get irritated, "Have a good day, officers."

I slammed the door as hard as I could in their faces and stormed down the hallway back to my bedroom where I layed back down under the covers. I might as well get some sleep... I slowly began to close my eyes when I heard the loud creaking  of the floorboards. I jolted upright.

"Who's the-" I began to shout. I was knocked out cold on the floor before I could finish my sentance.

"Such a shame, Oliver Klein," An officer with long jet black hair scoffed, "You could have just came with us quietly. Then I woudn't have to ruin your pretty face."
