Fall of the Hero
Fatory (Part 7)
Now the female Villain and the Stray
are hiding in the darkest places they can find in the alley between this old
factory and the warehouse they were just in.
The only problem with this
situation, which I’m surprised the female Villain isn’t doing something about,
is that hiding in the darkness is not always the safest thing to do. In fact,
those wretched Villain Leaders were born of Darkness. They live in Darkness,
love the Darkness, the Shadows, and Evil. If anything, it will take but a split
second for the Villain’s eyes to adjust for them to see the two figures, and
have their way with them.
Now another voice…
“Did you find anything?” The
Searcher commander asked the other Searcher that just smashed through the warehouse
front entrance.
“No, sir. But, there was one door
that was locked; I just couldn’t get into the room, so I don’t know if they’re
in there. Sorry, sir.” The Searcher replied.
“Well, are there any windows that are for the
room, then?”
“I believe so, sir.”
“Okay, then. Get in there and see if
they’re in there.”
“Right away, sir!”
So, the two Searcher Troopers started
running around opposite side of the warehouse and planned to meet up at the
windows that the female Villain and the Stray had just escaped through.
Those two better get out of there! NOW!
The Stray and female Villain shot
strait up, and bolted out of the alley, behind the old factory I’m in, and out
of sight.
Just in time. The Searchers were just
rounding the corners to intercept anyone fleeing the scene. Fortunately, the
Stray and female Villain were not seen by the Searchers.
Good!
Hey! I wonder if I should follow
them! Maybe I can work with them, and help them to do the things they need to
do, and, in return, they might be able to help me free my family from this
City! Also, if that Stray has family trapped in one of these Cities, I can help
them free their family as well! Now that sounds like something that would work
out!
I’m pretty sure the Stray is
trustworthy. I haven’t known any that haven’t been. But that female Villain… I’m
going to have to see if I can trust her. Hopefully this isn’t some sort of
trick or anything. But in any case, I think it’s safe enough to go after them.
I’d better get out of here soon,
though! I have to find out where they’re heading and try to meet up with them.
Now, there should be a few doors in
the back of this place where supplies to make products are able to be brought
into this building. Probably multiple doors.
Alright, there are some. I thought
so. Now I’d better move. Quickly, so I don’t lose them. I should be able to
find where they are by looking for indications of footprints around the roads.
I really hope so anyway.
Okay… I know they went this way… Aha!
They must have gone around this corner, into a small subdivision.
Alrighhhhht… Hmmm…. They must have
gone this way, then.
Well, the indications of anyone
running stop here, near a home. Maybe they are inside, trying to hide from
Villains for now. I’ll have to find a way to get in without them thinking I’m a
Villain. I hope there aren’t any Villains nearby.
I’ll just go up to a window on the
side of the home and knock on the window to get their attention. Maybe they
will let me in through a back door.
Knock, knock, knock…
Hmm, nothing. Just darkness inside.
Still nothing. But wait, the Stray is
now walking up to the window.
“Hey! Will you please let me in? I
have something I’d like to discuss with you two!”
Hopefully that convinces him to let
me in, if he could even hear me.
He then motioned for me to go around
the back of the home. He’s gonna let me in!
Okay, I’m at the door now.
Klink.
They just disengaged the deadbolt
lock.
They Stray opened the door, allowed
me to step in and then closed the door, and locked it again.
I then presented myself to the
couple.
“Hello! My name is Jerin. I am here
to discuss a few things with you two. I also may be able to help you with a few
things. I hope I didn’t startle you two by knocking on the window to see if I
could come in.
The reason I found you two here is
because I was inside the old, run-down factory right beside the warehouse you
two were hiding in to stay away from
those Searchers who were after you. I’m very glad you’re both safe. I’m glad
you two escaped. That was a close one! I watched the whole thing unfold from a
window that was facing the alley way you two hid in and eventually escaped
through.
But, enough jabbering for now. I’d
like to give you two a chance to speak. So, you,” I pointed to the Stray, “What
is your name?”
“My name is Aleck,” he replied.
“Very nice to meet you, Aleck! And
you,” I pointed to the female Villain, “What is yours?”
“My name is Sheer,” she also replied.
“Nice to meet you too! Now, is there
anything at all you two would like me to help you with?”
The End.
