Chapter 4 - Chapter Three

The town was earie. It looked like something that belongs in a word of holloween. It looked ancient. All the buildings were made out of rounded stones and they all had lit lanterns outside their entrances. It seemed like a ghost town, apart from those lanterns which indercated otherwise. I wasnt sure if I should enter, but I needed to get rations anyway.[br]
I slowly began walking into the town whilst cautiosly scanning my surroundings. I noticed one of the buildings stated "Inn" on a sigh outside. It was just what I needed. I grasped the door handle preparing for what awaited me on the otherside. I carefully opened the door.[br]
I walked inside, and to my surprize, the building was full of people. I walked up to the counter and looked around. No one was there. I waited a couple of minutes and began searching for a bell or something to indecate that someone was waiting to be served. Suddenly a man apeared. [br]
"What can I help yeh with?" he asked with a dirty smile.[br]
"Umm I need aplace to stay for the night," I said. He scanned me up and down.[br]
"Yeh not from around here, are yeh?" he asked.[br]
"You could say that," I answered nervously.[br]
"What kinda currency yeh got then?" he asked. I opened my bag and pulled out my wallet. I pulled out all my coins and shoved them on the counter.[br]
"Whats dis rubbish?" he demanded.[br]
"Money..." I whispered. My heart sank. I realised that my money was worthless here. [br]
"No, dis is just bitsa metal," he said, "No money, no stay." I thought I was going to regurgitate. how was I going to survive? I had no friends, no food, no money... nothing. And the worst thing is I had no idea where I was.[br]
"I'll pay," said a voice I was sure I knew. I turned around and saw it was the ring leader. What was his name again? He passed a bundle of red sheets of what looked like dried skin to the man.[br]
"Okay, it's your money," said the man. Shylo? Shynra?[br]
"Don't worry, I have plenty of it," said the ring leader. Shakira maybe? No...[br]
"I bet you do," said the man.[br]
"I know, it's Shyhira," I said out loud.[br]
"Huh?" said Shyhira.[br]
"Oh, nothing," I said. That was embarrasing.[br]
"Okay..." he said. The Man looked at me.[br]
"Well isnt that rude," he said.[br]
"What?" I asked.[br]
"Why this lad pays for your room and you don't even thank him. I hope he makes you have to earn it," the man said.[br]
"E-earn it?" I Stuttered. I didnt even think of that. I just thought he was being nice. A gentleman.[br]
"Don't worry, this ones a freeby. I may change my mind though without a thankyou," said Shyhira. [br]
"Oh. Thankyou. Your a real life saver," I said.[br]
"Okay, I best be off. I need To prepare for the show," Shyhira said. [br]
"Bye, and I hope its better then last," said the man. Shyhira winked at him.[br]
"Umm see you later," I said.[br]
"It's a deal," Shyhira said as he left the building. [br]
The man lead me to a room. He closed the door behind me. The room was dark and gloomy, like something you would expect in a horror movie set just before technology. I sat on the bed and notice a list on the wall. It was title "RULES".[br]
[br]
"Rules;[br]
One. Never let yourself stand out. [br]
Two. If they do notice you, do exactly what they say. [br]
Three. Don't try to escape. That will just excite them. [br]
Four. You can never leave or else they will hunt you and find you.[br]
Five. The Show Starts At three. Do not be late.[br]
Six. If you dont arive to the show, you will need a ligitamet excuse to why not. If an excuse is not presant, you will be serverely punished.[br]
Seven. Be polite. Use your manners.[br]
Eight. If someone doesn't abide by these rules it is your juty to report them, otherwise you shall face more servere concequences.[br]
Nine. Try to keep everyone as healthy as possible. We do not want a plague going through the society.[br]
Ten. Have fun."[br]
[br]
That was a little strange. Are these the rules this town abides by? The clock in my room showed the time seven pm, so I figured I could sleep for a little while. I laid my head on the pillow. The bed was amazingly comfotable. I began to think. What if I serverely punished for not saying 'thankyou' strait away? As I thought of these things I fell into a light Slumber.[br]
