Amity Blight had been on a train for 5 days straight. The air had reeked of cigarettes, she was on this train for a business trip she was made to go on, though her mother insisted she went alone for some reason. When she left the boiling isles 5 days ago she entrusted Viney and Willow to take care of her single apartment she was renting, in reality her apartment is probably destroyed by now, all of her belongings probably raided by her siblings having no concept of privacy, over grown plants everywhere by Willow, and of course empty pantries from Em and Viney having 'movie nights' there, most likely evident by the sure to be filled rubbish bin in the kitchen.
Though the house sitting had to be done regardless. Over the course of the last few months, little things would go missing overnight. You would think someone breaking in would steal something of value, such as expensive research journals or the jewellery she had in a box under her bed. Instead she would wake up to certain pictures facing down on the nightstand or a single vibrant green flower, on one occasion she remembered falling asleep on the couch, and waking up in her bed. So house sitting couldn't have been such a bad idea right?
Her mother had sent her on a discrete business trip in a city called Magnolia. Being chosen as the Successor of my parent's business they only thought it was right for me to start making an impression on people. This trip was necessary as her father put it 'this trip is important for you to show us your ready, to show the world who Amity Blight is', and even though the trip took 5 days by train there was no other mode of transport into the city due to the flying restrictions the city made.
So by dawn Amity will be at her destination as planned. The room she was staying in for the past week or so wasn't much different from her apartment albeit a bit smaller, if you take away the makeshift bed bolted to the wall and the white walls that have turned a grayish white it would be a replica of her apartment. On this particular morning the green haired business woman had a lot on her mind, she had no idea what Magnolia had to offer and just by looking at the place she could notice the run down houses and dirt roads with pot holes everywhere. According to her mother the city has been dealing with some internal conflicts, having an increased crime rate since her parents were here 10 years ago.
Nearly 16 hours later Amity had a suitcase and briefcase to carry of the train. She was departing the train and was surprised that there was an inspection stop point, everyone's luggage already had to be checked before boarding the train, but departing wasn't exactly the same, though it had to be done for safety because they had a few incidents where radical socialists were able to bring bombs and detonate them in certain areas to create panic. "Papers?" asked a tall broad shouldered man with slightly darker green hair then her own, having a goat beard and dark sunglasses to boot. She hesitantly got out her ID and handed it to the man, noting that he was grinning making her suspicious, just slightly. "Ah, Amity Blight from the boiling isles, a little far from home aren't we" he said as his smirk got wider, Amity started feeling weird about the chatty man so she snatched the ID from his hands and walk through the station. As soon as the green haired lady was out of sight, the man pressed a contraption on is ear before speaking "yea Miss Blight is here" "continue following her" said a mysterious voice on the other end.
End of chapter 1 what do you guys think? Any comments are good comments I suppose.
