Chapter 3: Bound by Love

Chapter 3: Bound by Love:

Billy's mind was chaos, his dad, dead? What did he mean by his dad dying? What sick plot was Orvil up to? Before he think of an answer to these questions the door opened and there stood a shadowy figure, upon closer examination it was Rebecca. "What are you doing Billy?" Rebecca questioned. "Oh it's you." Billy said trying to catch his breath. "We need to get help immediately! I heard Oliver; he said he was going to kill my dad after he "serves him"." Rebecca gave him the weirdest look. "Are you sure you didn't hit you're head? Why think such a thing?" Billy answered "I'm positive that I heard him, I'm not deaf Rebecca, and he's out to get my dad and soon enough all of us!" "Look, Billy, I'm up for adventure but I think you need a rest, you probably misinterpreted him." Said Rebecca. Billy knew at that point that he's not going to convince her so he sighed and said "I guess you're right, you still up for hanging out with me some time?" "Oh Billy, of course, I wanna know more about you!" Rebecca Said. Billy smiled and they both went their separate ways. Billy was concerned though. Is his and his dad's life at stake? What could this all mean? He was on his way back when he bumped into Oliver. "Ah, Billy, your dad was looking for you" Said Oliver "Yea; I was just on my way to his office" Billy said cautiously. "It would be a shame if you didn't come back, so your father asked me to fetch you." Oliver said with a grin. Billy gave a fearful laugh and left. "Yes, it would be a shame if you didn't come back" Oliver said under his breath. He laughed and laughed, lit a cigar and went into his office.  

Billy was almost to his dad's office when he heard his name. He recognized that voice, he turned around and it was none other than the man with the crimson cape. "You hear what he said Billy." He said "His fate has been laid out, only you can save him." "You" Billy Said. "So I wasn't hearing voices, you're real, and I was right, Orvil is planning on killing my father." "My name is Crimson." He said. "That was no illusion, corruption has already spread to that man's heart, and only through defeat can he be stopped." He continued "You need training, I will train you to fight, you are the one who can save them all, your family, your friends, your girlfriend, your-" Billy interrupted "She's not my girlfriend. (He started to blush) She's just a friend!" "Whatever" Crimson said. "The important thing is I can train you and you can save them all as long as you don't screw up." "Anything to save my dad and everyone else. Whatever it takes" Billy said with confidence. "I'll be back." Crimson said. "Remember what I told you. Walk your own path. Do not forget the words I relate to you." He vanished without a trace. Billy didn't want to trust Crimson but something was telling him that he had to, something was telling him that he was the only way to stop whatever evil that Orvil was planning.  

Billy just kept it mind because in a few days he was watching the news when he heard news that freaked him out. "The president has just announced that he will be forming a new nation in the middle of the world." Billy should have seen this coming. He guesses it was a little funny that his dad was telling him and his mom that they were moving AGAIN and not only that but they were moving to a place he never knew existed. "President Oliver Orvil has dubbed his new nation to be called Vilfor..." The news reporter continued. Billy remembered now, his dad mentioned the existence of Vilfor earlier within the week; he told Billy that it was a project that President and his associates have been preparing including himself. The preparations were complete and now Vilfor now sits in the middle of the ocean ready to be inhabited. Everyone associated with the Whitehouse were to be relocated to the new country at once. Billy wasn't all that upset about it; he would still get to spend some time with Rebecca because since she's an intern at the Whitehouse, she's moving there too. Regardless, that suits Billy just fine; he wasn't going let relocation separate him from his crush Rebecca even if they end up so far away. Billy just hoped that Crimson didn't forget about him and his training. How can he take down the Oliver? If Crimson says he's so evil, why hasn't he given him training? Billy could only assume patience is what's needed. He waited for the moment to come, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting as far as the eye can see.  

Vilfor was beautiful, luscious forests and life all around. When Billy arrived he couldn't believe himself. I wondered were a luscious green, colorful, and giant island could have came from. It was never shown on any maps, nor has it been talked about in any history book, United States and World History. Billy just accepted it and was more distracted by the huge house he has. A new house, brand new, and brimming with modernization. It was two stories with a red roof, white rock finish on the outside; it was like something you would see on the cover of a home buyer's magazine. 

Billy called Rebecca and they decided to explore the strange continent of Vilfor the next day. They talked and talked and talked as the enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Friendship was being built, the strong bond between the two strengthen; weeks passed. Orvil eventually reined supreme leader of the country and still, Billy got no response from Crimson. One year passed. The once luscious forest was turning into a metropolis formed and shaped to Oliver's standards. "No sign of Crimson and my dad's still alive" Said Billy to himself "I knew it, he was lying this entire time." So Billy decided to forget about Crimson and decided to live on with his life. 

"Rebecca, we've known each other for so long" Said Billy. "Rebecca, there's something I want to ask you." "Yes? What is it Billy?" Rebecca said with a confused voice. "Would you do the honor of being my first girlfriend?" Billy said with a blushed face and a nervous disposition. There was silence. It was almost as if the two were experiencing the same emotions: nervousness, embarrassment, a loss of words, all was flowing through their bodies, rushing like a river and spilling into the deep blue sea. After a couple minutes of thinking Rebecca finally came up with an answer. Without a doubt, without making any more thoughts Rebecca shouted at the top of her lungs a big "YES" and the two hugged each other until the day was done.
