Kiara followed Jinx all through the city until they came to a water front line of shops. The water looked like it could have been ocean water once upon a time, seeing as now it was muggy and filled with chemicals. All the way around tall steel walls blocked anything from coming or going. Kiara noticed the city looked like a prison instead of a utopia.

When Kiara looked back and saw Jinx was very far ahead and she quickly sped up so she wouldn't lose him. He entered a place called the Hip Hog Saloon. "Hmm sounds a little thuggish." She thought and entered. The whole place was very shabby and the walls looked water stained and the carpet looked smelly. All along the walls there were mounts of ugly creatures heads sort of like the one that appeared in the rift. The smell of cheap alcohol and gunpowder poured into Kiara's nostrils and made her gag.

"Who is this ey?" said a deep voice. Kiara turned and had to cover her mouth to keep from screaming. The man behind her looked more like and extremely oversized pig with legs no bigger than a chickens. In fact he was so fat a floating device had to hold him up. He smelt like grease and sweat and had probably not bathed in years.

The pig like man laughed and then almost gagged as if he could not get enough air.

"Kid, what are ya doin here." Said the man named Jinx.

"I followed you because I needed a job…" answered Kiara not taking her eyes off the large man.

"What you can't just.." But this time it was Kiara's turn to cut in. "I can and I did, if I'm going to live here I need to find some way of life."

The pig man butted into the conversation with "She's sassy, I like that ey, how old are you?" he said taking a breath after every ey."

"Fifteen." Kiara stated.

"Mmm old enough, Jinx, train her in the ways of your art." "

"Yes!" exclaimed Kiara.

"Hell no." stated Jinx.

"Jinx, do as I say, or your cut lose." said the pig man. "Besides it's not often we get volunteers to do the work you do."

Jinx just looked at Kiara and said "Fine kid, come on I'll show you the ropes. But trust me it ain't easy."

"I don't care I just want to do some fun stuff." Kiara replied. Jinx rolled his eyes and headed for the door. Kiara followed closely behind like an excited puppy.


Yes I know this chapter was very short but sometimes stories have short chapters so um as you can see Kiara now has her job. So yep I hoped you enjoyed. I don't have to much to say but I defantly promise you that this will be the last re edit. There will also be a sequel so look for that.
