Chapter 3 - Steps into the city

*Thump-thump-thump-thump*sound comes as Danver runs in the forest

"Took me whole night just to move out of the mountain range, and it's still just forest ahead," Danver says as he continues to run in the forest with a backpack on his shoulders.

"It's sure is strange, trees are much smaller here than in the mountain, even though they are the same trees, and animals here are also small in size and less vicious as well. This place sure is peaceful."

 

Just like that, Danver keeps running in the forest to find its exit, and after some time, He finally comes across a road and, in the Distance, he can also see some buildings as well.

"Finally, out of the forest, the sun is also at the top now", Danver says as he looks towards the buildings at a faraway distance.

"I think if I follow this black path, I might reach the destination" After saying this, as Danver was about to start following the road, a car suddenly crashed into him and sent him crashing away on the road.

Then, from the car, a beautiful lady comes out to check on him.

"No, No, No, I just recently got permission for this car, no if he dies forget about the car, I might even have to go to prison, I am sorry, I am sorry…" the lady says as she slowly tries to approach the Danver.

As she just started to walk, Danver stood up and began looking at his torn clothes, which had become torn as he slid on the road.

The women just got terrified because if someone gets crashed this hard, you directly check if he is alive or not, but not only is he alive, he is behaving like nothing happened.

Suddenly, Danver looked behind him and saw the car, which was in a bad shape. He then looked at the lady and, upon seeing her expression, thought she was too angry to even speak. Then he started walking towards the lady.

The women were terrified just by looking at him standing up, but when he looked back at the car and at her, then suddenly he started walking towards her, so she got even more terrified.

"St… Stay away, don't come near me", she said in a terrified way as he was approaching her, but he continued to walk toward her.

"I am sorry for the pet"

"Help Me!!! Get away, you monster"

"Help?... Monster???"

"Sorry?... pet???"

As he reached near her, he got on the ground and apologised for the car in a loud voice and at the same time, she got too scared and screamed out of her lungs.

*pffhahaha* "too hilarious, to think that we both misunderstood each other, hahaha I can't stop laughing" the lady said as she was driving the car, and Danver sat on the seat beside her.

Danver stayed silent as she continued to laugh and drive, and then, after some time, he said.

"Sorry for the pet again"

"It's ok, it's ok, I can repair it as many times as I can, don't worry about it, and didn't I tell you it's not a pet, it's a car made by metals, moreover, where did you come from to not even know about cars?"

"… Vichcarcase Mountains", Danver answered her.

"What, isn't that mountain the most mysterious mountain in the world? They say monsters, aliens, ghosts, and many different creatures live on that mountain," the lady said as the joy suddenly faded away from her face after she heard Vichcarcase Mountains.

"Is it…?" Danver replied to her

"Yes, and isn't it also prohibited to enter the mountain range? It is guarded pretty well as it is the highest class zone in the world, and also, anyone who enters the mountains never ever returns," she said in a serious and curious tone.

"Is it…?" Danver replied to her

"Yes, what were you doing on that scary mountain? Did no one catch you?" she asked with full curiosity.

"I sensed some… but slipped past them", he replied, looking outside the window as they were finally about to reach the city.

"Ho… you have been pretty skilled, huh? By the way, we are finally about to reach the city, but I never asked where you want to go in the city. I will drop you there"

"Hmm…" he reached into his bag and took a slip out of it, and handed it to her.

"Hum? Oh, the address is on this, huh. Let's see… wait a minute, forgot a different country, it's a whole different continent, are you kidding me?"

"If it's far, I will run fast"

"Now I get it, you are the type of person who everyone calls a country bumpkin, sigh", the lady said, hearing that he will run across the continent.

"bump..kin? I will make it somehow," Danver says as he has to go there anyhow.

"How do you plan to go, when not knowing where it is?" the lady asked with a mocking expression.

"…" Danver remains speechless.

"Going there requires money. Do you have any money?" the lady asked again with a mocking expression.

"…" Danver remains speechless again.

"Sigh… Don't worry, when I insist on my father, they never refuse me. I will help you reach your destination, but for today, you need to stay somewhere. Knowing you, you also don't have anywhere to stay, right?" the lady asked again, but this time to tease him.

"…" another speechless moment for Danver

"Hehe, don't worry, I have my connection, they will let you stay there for some time"

"Thank you", Danver finally got to mutter some words.

Just like that, talking to each other, they reach the city. Danver just watched the lights of the town as it was night, but it was still as bright as day with glittering streets, and many amusing things everywhere that he had never seen before.

The lady also remains silent as she figures that Danver is seeing all this for the first time, and she got a smile looking at his innocent face.

*break* the lady stops the car in a passageway where there are few people

"Well, here's where our journey ends. My friend will come and take you to your resting place today"

"Hmm…" Danver nodded back to her

"Aare… someone is missing me al…, forgot it your emotionless face makes me lose my mood every time, even on the whole trip your face remained the same" The lady tried to tease Danver, but looking at his plain emotional face, her mood got ruined again.

"By the way, I never asked your name. What is your name?" the lady asked Danver.

"Danver", Danver tells her his name.

"Oh, a single name, don't worry, I don't discriminate, by the way, be ready early tomorrow, I won't leave you this easily, ok, and don't ever forget this, my name is Abigail Tremayne, nice to meet you, Dan…"

*CRASH*
