Rose City (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 4 (Dylan's P.O.V)

Sky. I knew exactly who she was.. and she never noticed me. I guess I'm good at hiding. I would always watch her fight. I wonder if she could show me some moves like that. I have to say myself, I'm a very, very, very good fighter. I'm right next to Sky that way. Yes, I guess you could say I love her as well. When I say as well, I mean I know Andrew and Gabe both like her. It's obvious. The way they gaze at her while she's fighting and the way they are around her almost all the time are the most visible. I couldn't be with Sky even if I tried. Gabe and Andrew would do absolutely anything for her. I would too, but they would murder me if I was with her. But I can still dream. Dream of fighting beside her, going on adventures, and maybe even rebuild Rose City itself. Everybody has to survive on their own. Why can't we all be at peace? These thoughts rushed through my head as I walked back to my house, which was in a cave. I didn't have the money to afford a house. I walked in and flopped on my bed. I had attached a door and some lights in the cave, and the good part was that it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I guess I fell asleep for a little bit before I was awoken to what sounded like a gunshot. The first thing that rushed through my head was Sky. I ran out of my house to see a girl with blue hair laying outside of my house. I sprinted towards her. She weakly lifted her head up and I asked her if she was okay.

"Jade...is going to start a war..." She said.

A million thoughts rushed through my head. "Jade? Who's Jade and who are you?" I whispered.

"Evah... don't let Jade win..." Evah said quietly. "Discover Rose City's secrets..."

"No Evah! Come on stay with me!" I yelled. Evah's head fell to the side. "Evah?" She was gone. Who the hell is Jade? She is going to start a war? Rose City's secrets!? What is going on?! Evah... what happened to you?
