"Who are you? What are you doing outside the walls? Oh my, you're injured! Hurry come in! Before The Beast gets you!"

The woman dragged you through the door and slams it shut, locking it tightly. She turns to you, "Come, let me get you cleaned up, but be quiet, this town doesn't like noise."

As the brunette lead you through the town you noticed as you got into the middle of the town the houses looked the same and the atmosphere felt dark and eerie.

You stopped at a two-storied brown house, the woman opened the redwood door and lead you inside.

"Sit down, I'll treat your wounds." You sat down on a wooden couch with soft brown cushions.

Later the lady came back with some bandages and a wet cloth. She began to wash your injuries, "Stop flinching, I know it hurts but you must be still."

After treating them, she asked if you wanted something to drink, you said hot chocolate would be nice, it was kinda cold in here anyway.

The woman nodded and got to work on your drink, "Would you like something to eat as well?" You nodded, not caring what it was as long as it was food.

A few minutes later she returned with the hot chocolate and a loaf of bread. Quickly, you scarfed the bread down and began drinking the hot cocoa.

"My, you were hungry, would you like something else to eat?" You shook your head no. You didn't need anymore food.

"Oh! Where are my manners, I'm Lady Faerie Ross. But you may call me Ms. Ross, Faerie, or Lady Fae. Who are you?"

You told her your name and continued sipping the hot cocoa licking your lips.

"If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up outside? And where did you get those injuries?"

You thought about it for a moment but couldn't remember. All you remember was voices and Lady Fae taking you here. You answered that you couldn't remember.

"Ah, well, I did see a nasty cut on your head, maybe a bump too. Perhaps a concussion."

You shrugged putting down the mug. You asked where you were.

"You're on the planet Obmil, in the town Altheholm Meadow, the middle part of the town. It's very peaceful yet crowded here, but the mornings are the best, I especially love it when the bluebirds come and sing their little song…" she stared out the window, dazed. You called her name snapping her back onto reality,

"My apologies, I get sidetracked sometimes." She apologized.

You looked outside to window to see the street and town, peaceful? Sure, busy? Doubtful. It looked pretty dull and lonely to you. You wondered how many people actually lived here.

"I know it looks abandoned but trust me, it is a very crowded town," Lady Fae spoke, as if she just read your mind.

"The weather has been acting up for a few days, but I bet it'll be sunny and busy by the end of the week. Until then people prefer to stay inside."

You nodded your eyes wandering around the house, from the outside it looked like a big shack, on the inside it looked like a cabin.

"I heard it'll storm tonight, so you might wanna stay here till morning." Lady Fae advised. You agreed to stay, even though you didn't know this woman it was better to stay here than outside in a storm.

"You look tired perhaps you should go to sleep early. I have a spare bed upstairs you can sleep in."

You were about to tell her you weren't that tired but she grabbed your hand and quickly dragged you upstairs and showed you a room. It was small, with a wooden bed with mix-matched patched covers and a dirty white pillow. There was only one tiny window and a round green and yellow carpet in the middle of the oak wood floor. And the walls were a dull tan but the paint was peeling off. And… was that stains of red on the walls?

"I apologize for the mess, I haven't been able to clean this room in a while." Lady Fae spoke, "Well, I'll leave you now, my husband must be returning soon."

Before you could speak the door was shut and you could hear a *click.*

You tried to twist the knob but it wouldn't budge, she had locked you in.

And you needed to use the bathroom.

You sighed and searched the room, looking for anything interesting, maybe even a escape door.

You looked under the bed and saw something flash for a minute, out of curiosity you grab it. It looked like half a silver circle, with puzzle pieces graved into it.

You squinted your eyes at what looked like some sort of language printed on the side.

لا يمكن ل سلاسل دمية عقد لي أسفل

You tilted your head, what was this? Fingering over it you flipped it over.

"Search the wall for the second piece."

Well, it's not you have much to do anyway. You stood up and searched the wall for any lumps or puzzle pieces.

Out of the corner of your eye you notice something black and what looked like ancient writing.

You walked to the section of the wall, and began to peel off the paint.

Hey, it won't make much of a difference, the paint was coming off anyway.

The writing matched the one on the half-circle.

بصبر أشاهد هذه البلدة

You tried to remember if you knew this language from school or somewhere, but you couldn't.

But under there was the second half. You tried to take it out of the wall but it was stuck in good.

Huffing you gave up, who cared about some puzzle anyway.

You abandoned trying to solve the puzzle-circle and searched for something else for entertainment.

After an hour of looking you gave up and fall onto the bed. You expected to feel the cushiony softness of the bed but felt something hard causing you to flinch and rub your probably bruised back.

You felt around the hard spot and made out a square shape. Pulling over the covers you saw an old dusty green book.

'How did I not notice this?' You thought to yourself dead panning.

The book had golden words on the cover saying "Property Of Millie Doll."

Flipping through the pages you see drawings and writings about random stuff, like how her day was, her job, random weird things she saw. Probably a diary.

Suddenly you see the strange language and a translation at the bottom.

"لا يمكن ل سلاسل دمية عقد لي أسفل

No puppet strings can hold me down."

"بصبر أشاهد هذه البلدة

So patiently I watch this town."

"الشاذ سوف تصبح هي القاعدة

The abnormal will become the norm."

But before you could get to the next part someone barged into the room. It was a red-headed man. And Lady Fae stood beside him.

"What do you think you're doing?!" He growled, walking over to you.

You tried to speak but couldn't find the words, the man had suddenly came in and shocked you terribly.

"Leo please, calm down-"

"Keep out of this Fae!"

The woman snapped her mouth shut and stepped back.

The man glared at you with his frighteningly bright purple cat slitted eyes. His gaze followed to the wall and the unfinished circle.

"I-I'm sorry for the wall sir," you apologize, "I didn't mean to chip the paint."

The man scoffed, "It's not the wall I care about, it's what you know."

"Leo! How are you sure (she/he) knows?!" Lady Fae argued.

"Because (she/he) found the puzzle. It's only a matter of time before (she/he) realizes what it means."

Suddenly your brain clicked, you realized what it meant. He was right.

"See? (She/he) knows."

Lady Fae sighed, and walked up to you, "I'm sorry." Her head hung low and she sounded sad. But then her haunting purple eyes glared at you, "But we can't have you knowing our secret."

Your eyes widen and you back up but your back hits the wall. "Foolish child."

Your vision failed you and turned black, all you could hear was whispering and a songbird.

The whispering turned to yelling and the songbird turned to a loud static sound.

Soon the yelling faded out and the static rang in your ears.

It rang until you couldn't feel anymore.

Then it stopped. And so did your heart.
