I've been working at Rueben's for three months now and I've pretty much gotten used to things. I know all of the regulars and what they like to drink, on any given night or mood they're in. Another thing I've gotten used to in all of the shady characters. They're all pretty careful, but when they get some stronger drinks in them, they sing like canaries. Maybe I'll save up this info and sell it to the police at a later date. Anonymously of course. 

Late one night, as I'm wiping down the bar, a man comes up to me. He has red and white-colored hair, split evenly down the middle. Red on the left, white on the right. And two different colored eyes. The one on his right is strikingly grey and the other a piercing turquoise. He also has a terrible scar, covering the left side of his face. It looks like a burn of sorts. I saw him talking to a black-haired with huge burns all over his body, earlier. "Hello," he says. I stop my cleaning and look up at him. "What can I help you with sir?" I ask, getting ready to make him a drink. "Come with me," he says, gesturing towards the back exit. I follow him remembering what another girl I was on shift with told me. I think her name was Tsu. 'If they tell you to do something, do it. These are dangerous people. Be careful and do as your told.'    The man leads me out of the bar and disappears. "Sir?" I call out into the alleyway. where did he go? I hear something behind me and turn around quickly. There he is emerging out of the shadows. "Hello, sir. Can I help you with anything?" I ask, a little fear creeping into my voice. How did he get behind me? "Yes I think so," he says, pulling something out of his pocket. Is it a gun. No. It's a syringe filled with a pale blue liquid. I don't realize it, but I'm slowly backing away from him. "Oh don't run," he says. "You know, blue is a relaxing color. Relax a little." I don't relax and now I'm backing up faster. "Hmm, you don't like that. Well To-Dabi, said I should say that. Oh well. Did you know blue evokes sleep?" I've backed myself into a corner. He seizes the opportunity, and pins me there. "Dabi told me I should take someone. That it would be good for me. What do you think?" He's crazy. Oh god, what did I get myself into?  He attaches a needle to the point of the syringe and puts it up to my neck. "You know what I think? I think I never should've listened to Dabi. This monologue really isn't my thing. But I might as well try for a little longer." Then for some reason, he takes the needle away from my neck and sighs. "I apologize. That wasn't me. Dabi wants me to try out all of these new things and they just aren't me. I'm sorry if you got the wrong impression of me." Oh wow what is wrong with this guy?!?! "Oh, sorry, were you trying to go for something other than the psycho kidnapper look?" I say sarcastically. Big mistake. He puts the needle back up to my throat. "You're sarcastic. I like that. I think I'll keep you. Then he plunges the needle into my neck and injects me with that blue stuff. His face in front of me starts to blur and the edges of my vision are going black. The darkness spreads, making my vision blotchy. The ground starts to sway and I start to fall. The crazy man picks me up just before I black out. "Don't worry," he whispers. "It'll be okay. I won't hurt you." Then everything goes black. 

Hi hope you guys liked that. I'm trying to build up to some more interesting stuff. I hope you liked it. Um so bye!
