It was a cold rainy day in Haven city as I walked along the path to the Hip Hog Heaven Saloon in South town. By now I was drenched, my long brown hair dripping at the tips. As I came inside the Saloon I was greeted by the most very person that I loathe, Krew.
" Ahhh...Kitten, anything I can get you?" He asked with a phony smile.
" For the last time my name is not Kitten, it's Catania! And no, I wouldn't take anything you have to offer," I continued. " I just needed to get out of the rain and I live a mile away."
"Mmm...what brings you to this part of town anyways?" He nosily asked.
" None of your business fatso!" I replied with a grimace. He hovered closer to my face.
" Look here, in this town, EVERYTHING is my business! I know you are meeting somebody and I want to know for what reason!" I looked at him in disbelief. How dare he demand to know my business, and how did he know I was meeting anybody anyways?
" I don't know what your talking about, it was raining all over town, I am soaked!" Now by now, every freaking body in the stupid saloon, drunken idiots and all were staring at me like I was some psychotic piece of work.
" Don't play games. Erol came by, but he had to leave 'cause of some mission to destroy a metal head nest. He told me to tell you to stop by the palace at midnight." And then with that that tub of lard hovered away, probably to get a donut for his fatass. Now back in the day, Krew might've been attractive, but now he looks more like a giant ball of something like the Jolly Green Giant and a planet. For God sakes, I almost got sucked in his orbit. I hate Krew with a passion. The reason is simply because my older cousin, Kale, was sent practically on a suicide mission for Krew so he could get his precious jewels from those mangy metal heads. They must have known he was coming because the frontal, rear, and both sides were covered with those bastards. Six-hundred metal heads to one...you do the math. Krew had just shrugged at the news, but since he was his favorite thug he decided to pay for funeral costs...Gee thanks a lot. Kale was like a big brother to me, but this was a year ago.
The reason for Erol wanting to see me is because we sort of got a fling, but he is always busy with some Eco-experimentation thing and the metal head war. And that stupid Baron Praxis makes him do everything, our Baron only knows one word and that's war. But when I get to see Erol he is always so nice to me and the sweetest guy that I know, but he is mean to a lot of other people. I guess its comes with the whole, I'm a commander of the Krimzon Guard and I am a top racer, but I don't care he loves me and that means a lot. I met him at the funeral where he seen me crying and he said a girl as beautiful as me shouldn't be crying. That's when we hung out and kept seeing each other. I normally don't go for redheads(no offense), but I can make an exception for him. He is 21, a little young to be doing his job, but he manages. Why at such a young age? Well his parents were vary controlling, like Nazis, if you will. They wanted their son to succeed in life and what better way to make somebody succeed than to shove everything down their throat and make your schedules for you! And me, there's not much to tell. I am 18, work at a gun range for little kids whose future has something to do with war, blood, and guts. I get paid a lousy 3.75 an hour, but yeah excellent shooting was just naturel to me. I am also a whiz at karate so yeah, I know how to fight. I have brown hair, blue eyes, and I am '5"8". And my parents abandoned me as a child, so I was stuck with my aunt Clara whose son was Kale. See it all makes sense.
Midnight rolled around and I waited in that palace for 1o minutes until I seen my absolute favorite person, Baron Praxis, sarcasm.
" Catania, Erol will be here in a couple minutes. We just destroyed another major nest." He gloated as if it was HIS neck on the line.
" That's good." I said trying to avoid any small talk.
" Have you ever thought about joining the war, your very muscle toned." Eww... why did it seem like he was hitting on me!
" Uh...Yeah I thought about it, but I don't know. I have a lot to do as it is."
" Catania!" Erol yelled approaching me. And darn it, our conversation was just getting good, more sarcasm.
" Hey Erol, so good job with the metal head nest! Baron Praxis just told me about it." Erol sighed, " We lost 10 people today, and I can't help but feel that its my fault. I mean I always try to do the best I can but I cannot cover everybody all the time. That is why I really hope this experimentation works, then the enemy will be destroyed for good!"
" Let's pray it does, we cannot let those mongrels take over the city, but I know that you will not let us down." I said with a smile. Then he kissed me, long and hard with passion. Wow, and this guy knew how to work his tongue, if you knew what I mean.
" I have a race tomorrow." He said to me with doe eyes, God he was so cute with that look.
" I will be sure to see it."
" So, your not mad that I have to race instead of hang out with you?" Erol asked.
" No, I know that the Baron has you on a tight schedule." I replied knowingly.
" Yeah. I have been on a tight schedule my whole life. I just want some time to relax, you know?"
" Yeah I know. Hun, it's tough, but that is the very definition of life and I have finally come to the sad realization that no matter what you do, you can't change it." I explained
" Yeah, lets go to the Saloon and I will buy you some drinks."
" Sounds like a plan to me." And with that we were off to the Saloon top happily get drunk off our asses.
