《Caught (ON HOLD)》Chapter Two Robert Mythe
Advertisement
Conilinia is quieter than it was the last time I was here. I am here collecting a copy of my paper, Sebastian sent me for it. The train ride here, made me sick to my stomach, and no doubt it will on the way back either.
"Hay, you there." Someone yells. A limit guard. They make sure order is maintained in the states. "Who are you? I haven't seen you around." He adds. I attempt to slow my breathing, so I don't seem intimidated.
"I'm a debt servant." I say, and offer him my papers.
"Your not running away are you? That will add a year to your sentence." He says, then takes my paper.
"No I'm running, I was sent for this." I says. He doesn't seem to hear me.
"Your owner is the president's kid?" He asks. Aparently so. "Carry on."
The train is basically empty, and I take my seat under the bench. I've been here for three weeks, and Sebastian conveniently forgot to mention his dad was the reason why. I run down the short cut, and up the stairs.
"WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL ME YOU DAD IS THE PRESIDENT?!" I yell. He stands up quickly and turns around.
"Calm down Jennifer. Who told you?" He asks.
"A limit guard! A stupid limit guard." I say, more calm than the first explosion.
"Did you punch this one?" He now yells in a joking tone. That was enough to make me smile.
"A person only does that once." I say. He chokes on his laughter.
"Isn't that the truth." I smile, and look at the floor.
"Can I um, go on a walk?" I ask. He nods.
"Don't go far."He says, and i walk out the door.
The air is still cold, winter is trying to take over. I walk the long way, stray as far from Jacob's house as possible.

The thunder of hooves on the ground, suddenly snaps me back into reality.
"EVERYBODY MOVE! GET OUT OF THE WAY!" A girl yell. I jump out of the way as she's thrown from the horse, and on the dirt path. "CATCHER!" She yells, but the horse doesn't stop.
"Are you okay?" I ask, she turns her head to me.
"Sorry, he's a mess." She says. I smile at her and offer a hand.
"It's okay. I'm Jennifer by the way." She takes my hand, and I pull her up.
"Hey, I'm Bishop." She says.
"You want some help catching your horse." I asks, a look of relief sweeps over her face.
"Yes." She answers.
By the time we catch up to Dream Catcher, we're both covered in sweat.
"Do you have the horse?" I pant.
"Yes," she replies.
"You you want to just sit on the railing of my owners front porch, and talk?" She nods. "I'm a debt servant." I say. Answering her wordless question.
Once back at Sebastians she ties Catcher to the porch railing. The door opens from the inside.
"Jennifer is that-GET THAT FILTHY THING OF OF MY PORCH!" He yells, who knew Sebastian dislikes horses. She walks with him down, and starts to leave. "I hate horses." Then she turns around, and is on the porch again. The she punches him, is the side of the head, enough to knock him out, because his knees buckle and he collapses.
"Where am I?" Sebastian asks as he opens his eyes.
"Your bed." I say, trying desperately to keep my voice calm. "My well, friend I guess, brought her horse on the porch, you said you hate horses, she knocked you out." I add. He sits up, and looks at me where I sit in a chair next to his bed.

"Then?" He asks.
"I called your father, and carried you in here." I say. He swiftly grabs the my shoulder, and kisses me. I stand up and walk towards the door.
"Your right eye is swollen, I'm going to get you some ice." I say.
"Jennifer-"
"You need some ice." I say, and duck into the hall. I flop down on the couch, and lose my eyes.
When I open them again I'm laying in my bed, and it doesn't take a minute to figure out how I got here. I walk down the stairs, and sit down on a stool. I gasp as Sebastian turns around.
"What exactly happened to... Bishop?" He asks. I smile just in the memory of it.
"Um, debt, just like me." I say. Its strange how many thing filter into debt servant.
"Oh yeah, dad's getting lazy. Who?" I smile again.
"You're going to laugh." I say. "But, Jacob." He snorts and bursts into a coughing fit.
"I'm going to go to the healers and get you something for your eye." I say. I passed it on my walk so I know where it is.
"Okay, and thanks again." He says. I walk the short cut, and down the main road until I find the small wooden building.
"Hello ma'am how can I help you?" Asks a tall brown haired man. his name tag reads.
Tyeer Osmoond
"Something for swelling, that's safe to use on a eye." I say. He scribbles on a piece of paper.
"Can I get a name?" He asks.
"Jennifer Hope, for Sebastian Mythe." I say. He hands me a jar of cream, and I leave. I start to walk the dirt path, but then I see them. Jacob and Bishop. Only Bishop sees me back. She runs towards me, and punches me several times, and slaps me. She leaves and i lay on the ground, bruised and a deep scratch on my upper lip.
I slip in the front door of Sebastian's house, and create a wall of hair between him and my face. But when I hand him the jar, my wall is broken.
"What happened?" He orders an explanation.
"I was attacked my Bishop, on my way back." I reply.
He turns me around and walks me back to the healers. I get ten stitches on my lip, and pain meds for the rest. Sebastian orders me to sleep, but I can't. So after a hour I walk down stairs.
"I believe I told you to sleep." He says.
"I couldn't." I reply. then there is a knock on the door, a president Robert Mythe is standing in the living room.
"I am coming to see my son is not seriously injured." He says. "Hello Jennifer-What happened to you?" He asks.
"Sir, I was punched several times." I reply.
"Well thank you for calling." He says.
"Just doing my job." I reply. "Congratulations, on the whole president thing." I say.
"Well dad, its getting late, I think you better head home." Sebastian says.
"Call me sometime." Mythe says. The night becomes quiet.
Then a ear splitting scream break the silence. I run out of the door just in time to see the president collapse and a tall brown haired man run around the corner, knife in hand.

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
