1492 Words
Al was confused. Observing every corner of the shelter where he was at. He isn't familiar with it but keeps hearing the sound of hummingbirds, growling pigs, and cows.
He tore off the bandage in his body and stood up in bed. He saw his clothes, folded in the wardrobe made from rattan. He got it and wore it.
his shoes were not there and stepped out without them. As he opened the shelter door, he saw the very pleasant view that he had never been to.
The trees are greener, different kinds of flowers have been opened, and the air is much clearer than it used to be. He's amazed by the view he sees, turning around to see the full 360 views.
But, at the end of the turn, he saw a lady his same age, wearing a black and white dress that length to the knee. Al opened his mouth.
"Ahh… Who are you? Miss?
He raised his guard and looked her in the eye. The lady looked up and down. She speaks up.
"I'm Kerstin Lindquist, you can call me Kerstin. I'm a maid here"
"Ohh… Also, why am I here? I'm in the… Where am I at that time?"
He rubs his forehead, thinking where he is at that time.
"Sir? We found you at the middle of the road"
"Huh? What middle of the road?"
The memory of Al last night has flashbacks. That he almost died because of some random situation that happened to him. And Mr. Sebastian has been caught by the unknown black-suit people.
"Hey, Sir? What's your name?"
"I'm Alger, you can call me Al. But how did you see me? How did you get me out of the road?"
"It's a long story short. I was being transported here with the other new maids and escort in here when suddenly saw you at the ground bathing on your blood"
Al twitched his eyebrows.
"And we help you and put you in this temporary shelter because we can't let you enter the palace because you're an outsider. And also, you got check by the physician here and your condition is good"
"But… Who owns this palace?"
Kerstin was about to tell the owner of the palace but she got interrupted by a new escort she knew. He yells at them, and both of them are surprised.
Al's eyes were angry but cold as he saw the escort. He has this blonde hair, the eyes are like a maniac as it gazes and masculine body. The escort speaks up.
"Hey, you. You look ugly and hopeless. You don't belong here. It's okay that we treated your illness or what. So get out immediately"
Kerstin gazes angrily at him and slaps his arm.
"Stop it, Jake. It's not funny. He's still weak from the blood he lost"
Jake approached Alger like he was about to pick a fight with him. But Kerstin held his left arm and stopped him immediately from nearing him.
He shook his arm, glaring at her rudely, and pointed his finger to Al. Jake opened his mouth
"You, I'm letting you know that you're just a peasant here. Don't ever step your foot at the palace or else I'll kill you with my own hands"
He threatens him while greeting his teeth angrily. Al was surprised a bit but his expression was still the same.
As Jake walks out, Kerstin patted Al's arms and held his hand to comfort him but all shook his hands. He speaks up.
"Hey. Didn't you hear him? I'm a peasant here so don't treat me nicely"
"It's okay for me. people like him don't understand how to use their temper"
"Okay"
"And also, don't compare me to him. I'm a lovely lady who has great control over my emotions" she smiled.
observing the palace looks like the one Mr. Sebastian had told me. Why the hell did those people appear, track and catch us? Sigh… I don't want to think for now
I need to find a way to save Mr. Sebastian.
...oh, wait. I have his card. Where is it?
He finds the card Sebastian gave to him. He finds it in his right pocket in his jacket.
This is it. But how can I call him? I don't even have my phone.
"Hey, miss Kerstin? Do you have a phone?"
"Phone? I don't have one. But in the palace, there is a landline there. But you can't use it because you cannot enter the palace yet"
Al got an idea about her words.
"W-what yet? Do you have any other options for me to enter the palace?"
Kerstin rubbed his face, thinking of a possible way for Al to get inside the palace.
"Well… I have the ideas but... can you do it? It will take a while for you to enter the palace"
Al thinks if he stays furthermore there he might not see Sebastian anymore.
"Is there another way for me to do this? I want to communicate with someone. It's just super special for me. Can you at least get someone's phone?"
"No, we don't have our things here instead of our clothes. None of our other things are here. I'm sorry"
Al bit his thumb, thinking how he will contact Sebastian.
How do I contact him? I don't have my phone. Wait, my phone.
"Hey, miss Kerstin? Do you have my phone?"
"We don't have it and only your belongings are just these clothes and your shoes that have been… Uhm… I'm sorry for the shoes"
Al twitched his eyebrows.
"What happened to my shoes?"
Kerstin is having a hard time explaining.
"I-it's that… your shoes have been… wreak by the guard dogs"
Sigh… How can I survive this economy here? My shoes and phone are lost.
"Sigh… can I at least get a spare one. Even though it's a slipper. I just want something to cover up my feet".
"Yes, yes. I'll get those for you"
Kerstin walked towards her room to get slippers for Al.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was in a dark room and only one bulb was on at the top of his head. He hasn't regained his consciousness yet, but the people who kidn*pped him were watching him like a T.V.
A man opened the door and held a bucket full of water with ice.
"Hey, you're sleeping like a log. I'm gonna splash water on you if you don't wake up" he chuckled.
"1...2...3...3 and a half"
Splash!!
The people, including the man who splashed water on him, were laughing so hard. Sebastian opened his mouth.
"Gyaah! W-w-what was that. Y-you bastard, just mere cold water makes you happy. Your joy is like the ocean surface"
"Wow. You're finally awake… but"
He punched his stomach.
Argh! Huff, huff...
"Just a punch? I can take that" he laughed.
"Just a punch huh!"
He punched him seven times and after the last punch, he went back unconscious.
"For your information, my punches are much better than you" he spits his saliva.
The person gets out of that dark place and locks him again inside.
Alger waits for Kerstin to return, he goes back inside the shelter he was in and lays in the bed. Thinking about what kind of life he will do inside the palace that he doesn't know.
He observes his surroundings to find some valuable things that he can use.
But only the rattan wardrobe and the bed are there.
Sigh… What is this place? Where am I? I need to go back to school and also inform Mr. Sebastian's brother that he got kidn*pped by some unknown people.
Honk, honk, honk!!!
A loud noise was heard by far.
That was a car honking. That might be the entrance of this place and also its exit. I need to get out of here now.
He was excited to know that he might see the gate of the palace and run outside. Suddenly, Kerstin yells Al's name. She's yelling that she got slippers for him to use as he's covered in feet.
Alger stood up, gunshots were heard as he opened the door. He got nervous so he closed the door immediately and hid underneath the bed.
What the hell. Why is there another hitman here? Is Kerstin okay? Who the hell is this person?
heard someone walking towards Alger's shelter, he stopped and opened the door. His eyes were like a bloodthirsty animal, his eyes are intimidating and he's wearing camouflage attire.
I think this is my death.
Shhkk. toot...
A walkie-talkie radio? Who the hell is this person?
"Captain, we need you here now at the basecamp, over," the walkie-talkie said.
"Okay, I'll be there, over"
The man had a deep voice as he said those words. When the man left, Alger felt light as he didn't discover.
