After she was long gone, I hovered over a table containing food, including a bowl of red liquid, and resting my palms heavily on the glass surface, utter fury radiating out the very pores in my skin, I screamed. It was the kind of scream that people would usually do in the comfort of their own privacy, possibly in their bedroom, preferably into a pillow. However, I had no bedroom, nor a pillow, or any privacy, so naturally, this socially unacceptable notion rewarded me with a series of judgemental looks.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAhWquMdfdGj
"What?" I snapped. "You never heard anyone scream before?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAkLkpBakU5a
In turn, they gave me yet more judgement looks.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAShXjRCxPCt
By the time I got back into the house, I was dizzy, fazed, and pretty sure my left ear stopped functioning.
483Please respect copyright.PENANA4jg1k05L40
"Alright people! The DJ shouted from inside the house, startling the heaven out of me. Why were the speakers so loud? Or was it his voice that was just a little fortissimo? Hey, I didn't know I spoke Italian!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAhrAJ8S4jbs
"For these next wild minutes, we're going to it back a few decaaaades!" the DJ shouted once again, ecclesiastically pointing his thumb backwards. "Here's some Thriller for all you monsters out there!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANATvsenpAMfz
The thing I knew, Michael Jackson's 80's classic was blaring in my one working ear.
483Please respect copyright.PENANATo3c5XqTFL
Maybe Gemma should have been in the music video. She wouldn't have even needed any makeup. I should have pounced on her the moment she refused the cure! That would have been the Emerald way of doing things.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAd4dxwz6HZh
I should go and ask her again, I thought through unfamiliar dizziness. It was a strange kind of dizzy. It was weightlifting. Nice.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAwT1WtVK0qh
But the witch wouldn't listen to me! And, where the hell am I supposed to find her in this rather bright and mystical house? And even if I did, how will I get her attention?
483Please respect copyright.PENANA4svPkA9YFU
Just then, the luminous glow of the colluded lights from the DJ stand, grasped my attention and a pretty lightbulb lit up in my head.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAUzy1vlPvpi
I stepped up – actually, that was a stumble – onto the platform. "You are doing a fantastic job, Mr DJ!" The 's' in fantastic didn't come out right.
483Please respect copyright.PENANARNjc5PAgXt
He nodded at me, one hand working busily over the switches and things, and another over the pair of bright pink headphones that clung onto his neck. Despite being indoors and nighttime, he wore sunglasses. It puzzled me why one must work in such a complex manner when all they were doing was playing music and switching them on an occasional basis. Surely, that can be done on an iPod shuffle? And you don't even need to switch the song yourself.
483Please respect copyright.PENANArAwhuZcmMg
"Hey!" I yelled over the blasting music. "Do you m-mind showing me what these buttons do?" A stutter?
483Please respect copyright.PENANAiUDYqf2I8A
"Sure, hold on," he replied, putting the headphones done. "See these knobs, here? They are the EQ, they control the frequency—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANALcjtjQ3i55
"Okay cool, can I burrow this for a sec?" I interrupted, my hands flying to the mic.
483Please respect copyright.PENANA9ERkxcBIEv
"Wait, what—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA0k6AHQ4Gvy
"Thanks! And turn the volume down for the music with your EQ thingy."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAHma62Ty2sM
He (understandably) hesitated, but complied and music played a diminuendo, eventually becoming so quiet, the crowd stopped dancing and looked my way, booing. My vision blurred for a split second, but it was probably the tiredness of the past couple of weeks, so I brushed it off, bringing the mic to my mouth, and spoke— screamed:
483Please respect copyright.PENANAvw9VEX6d1g
"What's up, what's up, you beautiful people!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA1LcW0LODVp
This was fun!
483Please respect copyright.PENANA1RXyWjPjMO
The crowd cheered in response. They looked like insects from up here, but that may have had something to do with my blurred vision.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAC7HRbyf0U8
"You guys are amazing dancers! A room full of Michael Jacksons, every single one of you." They cheered again. Psshhht! As if I had really thought that!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAs7tKkBi1Vp
"How-however, I'm n-not exactly looking for Michael Jackson," I continued. "I'm looking for a Gemma Reynolds. Gem-a Rey-nold-sssssss. So, yeah, shout out to my number one hater, Gemmy! Mwah." I blew a kiss to my invisible Gemma, and the crowd cheered again. What a bunch of zombies! Even I didn't understand what I was saying!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2rYi6Imc4
"S-so I am up here, facing my non-existent stage fright, because Gemma isn't giving me something, that, rightfully, she should. Yeah." I tasted my mouth; it tasted bitter. "Um, your music will come back on when I see Gemma. Now, in the meantime, I'm going to give to you guys a sad background story: Gemmy's daddy at Reynolds Corporation and my parents at the Front—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA5IjYeKp8kA
"202!" Someone yanked me off the platform.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAxja4bSYOyW
I stumbled, and almost fell to my tragic death!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAm1zGMNJ46t
"What the hell are you doing?" the voice demanded.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAOSKIJksK8v
I blinked. Nope, still blurry. I suspected it was Gemma, seeing as I nearly died a moment ago, and who would want to kill me more than her, right? But, this person's deep, husky and even a little bit sexy sounding voice in my right ear, convinced me otherwise.
483Please respect copyright.PENANALMKr91glMt
"Um... eservest?" Of course! He wanted to kill me too. Wait, wasn't I forgetting something about him?
483Please respect copyright.PENANAKZGx1WI6Yt
The music was back on, indicating that the DJ went back to his mojo.
483Please respect copyright.PENANALIfaYs21FS
"Go away!" I feebly pushed at Everest, and inevitably failed. "I'm doing s-something important, and you're spoiling it!" I complained.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ0LhVv0TH
"What the–" bad word "–was that? Do you want to get yourself killed?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANACbbixyqYlz
"You always say that! You were going to kill me just now!" What a hypocrite!
483Please respect copyright.PENANA2uXoG2BnyV
"202..." That sounded like a warning, which I was sure to ignore.
483Please respect copyright.PENANA59yyDtWvFx
"Relax—" I walked closer to him, and he took an instinctive step back; I stopped. "Why are you running?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANABYAC4d8AhV
"I'm not...running," he growled.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAdrTnueGyBM
"Alright, then," I took a step forward. "As I was saying–what was I saying?" I thought hard. "Aha! You need to relax, nobody even knows me here. They're just kids! Kids don't watch the news." I laughed, although there was nothing really funny to laugh about, and I was practically a kid myself. "And what are they gonna kill me with? Their heels?" I giggled.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAHsB2Axpps5
His eyes narrowed a fraction of a nanometer almost suspiciously. "Why are you acting like this?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAOUz7uDWFeW
"Like what?" I asked.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAx0kqPhJ5DC
"Irresponsible, stupid."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAgoVVwrYKvl
"You mean, like the way you acted when you kissed me?" That was what I was forgetting!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAX7mtOEYC0V
Every muscle in his face relaxed for a moment, and then contracted just as fast, as he said, "find Gemma, or get out of here."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZrrxSJSLw3
I smiled. "Aha! Then, it should be you doing the getting out, for I have already found her."
483Please respect copyright.PENANA0uof4HzCpa
His face contained no emotion, but he was shocked, I just knew he was! "You have?" It was somewhere between a statement and an unconvinced question. "When?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAEa0fmANaNk
I walked off into a hallway. "Wouldn't you want to know."
483Please respect copyright.PENANA8tPDfKJtgK
He followed. It was either that or my shadow came to life. "202."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAE8lLiQvG82
Shadows don't speak!
483Please respect copyright.PENANA0qaWkmqE3R
I was dizzy again. But, a good sort of dizzy. I wasn't used to this strange feeling. It felt like the first time Everest injected me with that drug. Except, this made me happy. Which was mind-boggling, because I was going die! Yay! Wait. No! Right?
483Please respect copyright.PENANA2KbBqb17iH
I still had my suspicions for this strange sense of joviality, but there was no time to question boring logic like this – what was logic, anyway, sometimes I used big words that I didn't know the meaning of. Hold on, logic wasn't even a big word! What was I saying – or rather thinking? Oh yes – there was no time to think of logic when there were bigger questions to be answered, such as: why were the colours of these rather excited people's clothes constantly changing? Eccentric! Or why did my legs seem to move like a sleepy ballerina? Oh, I know! A sleep-walking ballerina with two left feet! Those were so in right now!
483Please respect copyright.PENANANATWT1nEm5
So, gliding like the passionate, sleep-walking, ballerina I was born to be, I slowly made my way through the hallway. Or perhaps it was Disneyland; hard to tell.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAQmlLkoZQ7a
Was I high? Well yes, my heels were. They must have been the reason I found difficulty in doing something as simple as walking. Wait just a second! I wasn't even wearing heels; malicious things those were. One wrong move and you could bet your bottom penny that you'd die to death!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAieAHAQh2uP
But, I did like the look of those incredible beige walls, swirling about here and there, so magical! Marvelled by the sight of those mysterious creations, I struggled towards it. Wait, struggled? No, I strutted towards it. I think.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAcOkqtjDjUK
And, it was all fun and games until some idiot collided into me.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAt62TWkZzNj
"Ompf!" I had to look up, for the idiot I collided into was quite tall, and realised it wasn't any old idiot. I knew this idiot! It was E-Eve-Evest? No. Not that one. Everest! Huh, he was tall like the Everest!
483Please respect copyright.PENANA2uma1rBV6t
"Eservest!" I slurred for some peculiar reason. "I forgot you were with me. Look at these magical walls!" Oh, he was bound to be impressed by those bad boys.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAppErCCI8ml
Unfortunately, his steel face didn't contort an inch.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAIG4RqHKP47
The only expression that came out of him was the suspicious piecing of his eyes into my own. But, I was sure he was astounded by those spinning walls...in his mind. He was just concealing it.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAhqOW2llZVi
"What?" he asked.
483Please respect copyright.PENANATsKLUZQZWD
It wasn't even a 'what?' what. It was a 'what.' what.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAUuhkjBARx0
"What?" I replied, perplexed.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAlVeO0R0RfB
His eyes narrowed, juuuust a weeny bit. "Did you speak to Gemma Reynolds or not?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAnrh8KRv5YP
"Hmm, g-gamma rays," Tapping my index finger against my chin, I thought hard. "No, n-not really, I wish not be exposed to radiation and go klchh-qk-chow, and die, why would you ask such—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAtJ5b7HTGFa
"Gemma Reynolds, not gamma rays," he growled.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAnRJJQVrSQj
"Oh! See, you got me worried there for a second, Eservest..." Looking at Everest whilst speaking to him really was a distraction. I mean, he was so, what's the word? Mean? No – I mean yes, but not now. Ridiculous? No not that one. Rather... pretty. Wrong adjective! Jerk? No, that was a verb. Attractive? No... I mean yes! Yes! That's the word! Attractive...
483Please respect copyright.PENANAwvJ3mYI301
"So, did you speak to Gemma or not?" he asked, clearly impatient.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAlnYLqR8nYE
But then again those walls were also pretty attractive, I'd say.
483Please respect copyright.PENANADAkPvsFfEU
My sleep-walking ballerina feet brought me closer to him. "Let's not talk about her, right now." I whispered, my stupid hand reaching out to touch his face. How strange, I didn't remember giving it such an absurd command.
483Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fj6RNP6Fm
He stopped it. "Are you drunk?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAjpcjGkfbSc
"Huh! Drunk? Drunk?! What is drunk?" Damn, I didn't know I was this good at acting.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAvllKniof6y
"Did you consume any alcohol?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAfqjWETLmgD
"Al-alcolol? No! Director never let me near that s-stuff, back at the Front."
483Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZNMaA4i9h
"But you were let near it here." His eyes bored into mine, so blue like something so... blue and... pretty. No, I was totally kidding; his eyes were never really blue, in fact they were always almost black with just the thinnest blue ring around them, only about a shade lighter.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAv4V2vqhzQQ
"So?! What are you accusing me of?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAl3qzarTZlM
"So. Tell me, 202. Did you, or did you not, drink alcohol?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAGKjy3wyWZA
"Woah! How dare you? My name is Emerald!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAKbphKqsDeP
"That's besides the point."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAoivTiWgtC1
"Can you let go of my hand now?" I requested, ignoring his scolding.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5DpwOvRYD
One second he stared at my hand, the next, it was dropped like a hot coal. Hmm, I wished I hadn't asked him to do that. Now my hand was cold. His hands were ironically very warm for someone so cold. However, now that he had let go of my hand, I could try touching him again. Hey, why didn't I just use my other hand? So stupid! Poor righty was always getting left out.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAN8IpnViFk3
"...wasting time," Interesting, turned out, he was speaking. "Are you listening to me?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAjK8LS0yftZ
"Y-yea-yeah-yeah, s-something this, some-t-thing that, wasting time, blah blah whateverest, am I right?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA81OLglEjKw
"No."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAdp26iYJP9H
"Oh."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAAg8fQu94Z2
"I'll ask you one more time. What did Gemma say?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAqXPf9yut0P
I scratched my head. What did she say? "Oh, it was important!" I exclaimed. "I need to find her and make her change her mind!" Although, I wasn't even sure what needed changing.
483Please respect copyright.PENANARUn4F9HPDE
Everest stopped me. "Answer the question."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAlmDRVVoawy
"Ummm..." I thought hard. It was useless. "I forgot?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAQAeHQ7gUyK
"You did drink alcohol!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAk9FWsb9qtK
"No, I did not! Hope my heart and cross to die! I only drank water since I got here!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAK9iJsxpyTH
"What water?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAY6ZFUXNmPU
"I dunno, a kind fellow offered it to me in a pretty red cup."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAI8qtffAqZe
"So, you're drunk."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAho9Ph87bxZ
"What? How did you know?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAyUFbhgjDF0
"Because you're acting like a maniac," he meanly said, leaning close. "And, word of advice: at a party, don't accept anything given to you in red cups."
483Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZXGh9SQ3M
"I meaaan, it was more of a Simpson—I mean, crimson colour—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANADfGqFqLFNA
"No," quick as lightning, he grabbed my shoulders. It was hot. "I don't think you get it. You are going to die if that cure is not found. You cannot afford to be like this."
483Please respect copyright.PENANApfiFNNZmpr
"I didn't mean to drink alco-alcohol! Honest! It smelled like cherries, you know, the ones that are pinkish and grow on trees... anyway, by the time I spat it out onto the guy's face—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA4z3uiuyXO2
"You did what?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA73Lgizbwd4
"I sprayed the bastard with my saliva, keep up. Anyway, by then, I, um... some of the drink was already half way down my esophagus."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAOqbGyzFsIU
He frowned a bit. "Why didn't you come and get me?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAsGtXFf0tdC
"I tried! But that was when I saw Gemma!" I told him, rather excitedly. "And even if I did get you, what would you have done? You would have just shouted at me, am I right, or am I right?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA7NGq1pe2vw
"I don't shout," he responded.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAQOqGn7zpmf
"Whatever! You would have scolded me, like you're doing right now. And I don't have time for all your negativity. All the uses of this world seem weary, flat, stale and unprofitable, as it is already!" I said, quoting Hamlet.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAgbNaMMjQP2
Something about the way his fingers flexed, hinted that he was restraining them from strangling me. Or, maybe—
483Please respect copyright.PENANAQNvuWxsrQ9
"Do you at least remember where Gemma was?" Everest questioned.
483Please respect copyright.PENANApJ5GU2ffj9
"Yes," I said solemnly.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAGSPdeI9CRk
He waited a moment.
483Please respect copyright.PENANArYxOkGx6HT
"Well?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANADPArpkwpu1
"But, I won't tell you," I teased giving him a wink.
483Please respect copyright.PENANA1NSpKEcVA4
"This is not fu—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAj2SakAjFre
"Ha! It's not fun being on the other side, is it?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANABML3yKnodH
"What?" he practically growled.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAlLf1nGwFZe
"Oh, don't act foulish—foolish! You made me suffer in that forest with a gazillion billion million pigllion jigly... what was I saying? Oh yes... unanswered questions. You made my heart bleed. Actually, technically, the heart always bleeds. Anyway, it's fit and fun—fair that you suffer, as I did."
483Please respect copyright.PENANArFXpQXJ3JY
"202, this is not the time to be playing games."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAe0CNvYOtqf
"Oh, I don't know Eservest—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAkdT97bHIFY
"You don't remember what she said, do you?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAK8O3xBuIIV
Get out of my head, you!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAfFxBXRa4wq
I put my hand over my mouth and let out a dramatic gasp. "I swear, it's like you're omniscient! Hey, Eservest—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAaEN9L6sqBM
"Everest."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAWosGWdNxUp
"Yes, S-sir." I saluted him because there was no need to not be disrespectful at a time like this.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAVGJipGmDIo
He waited. I did nothing.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAGhHemZIdhm
"You were saying?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANApc9MsZcdVu
"Huh? Oh, yes. Eservest, I am a tad bit curry–curious. Oh that's funny, 'curious' has a 'cure' in it! Good huh?" I laughed, smacking his arm.
483Please respect copyright.PENANA9wPbMsggrZ
"Will you just get on with it?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAg3MgzU3Kw6
"Of course! Or rather on course, because you said 'get on' so... I don't want to get off..." my sentence faded away as soon as I saw the homicidal expression on his face. And to think I thought he was beautiful!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAVDyVNxXAnJ
"As I was saying, I was thoughting—thinking; what are going to do after we, um, get Gemma."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAJHSgcygUNP
His initial silence probably meant he was contemplating my question before he said, "we will talk about this when you are not drunk."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAnjGJU7rc5E
"But, the whole drunk thing isn't even my fault! I didn't know! Some guy gave it to me! I was dehydrated! I didn't know what I was drinking!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANABPv7OxwHMR
"Didn't you taste it? Or at least, smell the alcohol?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAKfSOB8meQT
I leaned against the wall, all too tired to talk... or even breathe! "It smelled and tasted like cherries," I kindly explained "Like pretty cherries, you know, kind of like those pinkish ones that grow on trees..."
483Please respect copyright.PENANACgR3QQgGPq
"I don't know why I'm arguing with a drunken person," I heard him mutter under his breath.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZv1y9ECsTa
"So, are we going to look for Gemma, or what?" I asked.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAqGH5JiStqZ
"No. Not now. You need to get sober, first."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAztBSRWP38h
"Why?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANALpUh1puxKy
"Because, you are the one who's going to talk to her."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAUsMpcb42Bf
"But, I already did!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA7u9uKOGOWK
"Yes, but you went and got yourself drunk, and now you don't remember anything she said!" he snapped, irritably.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAibnO5mVVHr
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! I've never been near that evil stuff! You have to understand, bro. Director never ever let me—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAn6nmDsgHY1
"I know," his low voice interrupted.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAqv6dJKkFQz
I lifted my head, all bamboozled. "You do?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZEOUyr10t9
He nodded.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAcgX3xtf4Ch
I smiled. "He forbid you from touching alcohol, too, didn't he?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAsKVQ9Ir8Xa
"Maybe," he replied, shortly. Cute.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0McCvguc1
"Hey, Eservest?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8WidxFBDT
"Hm?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAmpUcpTGSKk
"Did you know that there is no growth limit for trees? Their growth is only inhibited by physics, because the water can't travel that high up their capillaries, due to gravity." I'd always wanted to tell him that!
483Please respect copyright.PENANAOrioMvKdjN
"Yes," he said.
483Please respect copyright.PENANABsnE1FQITf
"Huh?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANApqMuzRQObJ
"I knew that."
483Please respect copyright.PENANASnP1hiFHx4
"Oh." So smart. So— "So, how does one get sober?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAWpIw9ti8aK
He shrugged. "You need to sleep it off."
483Please respect copyright.PENANA3xHMdzwWEo
"Great! There are tons of bedrooms in here. Let's go upstairs!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAftpAs2jAhz
"Wait, no." He grabbed my wrist. "You are not sleeping in a frat house."
483Please respect copyright.PENANArzkbxfCpim
"Oh, yeah. Those are for guys. Let's go to a soro— sonority!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAiM47SO4qxI
"202!" He pulled me back, as if I were some puppy on a leash – preferably a Yorkshire Terrier. "We're leaving."
483Please respect copyright.PENANA4hXqT4ex3F
"We are? But we need to navigate—negotiate with Gemma!"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAPz62nsjq7o
"Yeah, I think we're past that now. You need to sleep the intoxication off. Then, if we're lucky, you'll remember what she told you."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAuqR7JpnsoI
"Are we going to a sorority, then?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAvoAC34oUcq
"No." He didn't even bother to elaborate. "Can you walk?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAgwu7TTXnYr
A grin spread across my face. "Are you going to carry me if I say 'no'?"
483Please respect copyright.PENANAWMremZexLO
His face remained stone cold.
483Please respect copyright.PENANABgnAd0GBva
"Fine! Yes, I can walk," I groaned. "Where are we going, anyway? And, how are we going to get anywhere without a ride? Are we going to fly on that unicorn—"
483Please respect copyright.PENANA9s326zrQaE
"I'll get a cab. And then we'll stay in a hotel nearby. Okay?" His eyes moved between mine.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAGXoM5uHufm
I shrugged. "M'kay."
483Please respect copyright.PENANAkKWndLhGAi
Ten – or maybe it was a hundred – minutes later, we were waiting for the wretched cab to arrive. Most of whatever happened was a blur of yellow, concrete, lampposts and then a huge building.
483Please respect copyright.PENANAElIHK1LApN
"Cool!" I yawned, gazing up at it.
483Please respect copyright.PENANA7xio9mXof6
Before long, I was laying on a cloud-like single bed, and fell into pretty slumber like sleeping beauty, or someone like that.
Author's note:
Hope you enjoyed drunk Emerald :)
