Chapter 3: The Not-So Friendly Town!

Ilia just woke up from a strange dream. He looked at his alarm clock, (good thing he had a clock that only needed batteries) it was 3:30 am.

"Holy shit, suck on my tits, dude," he thought to himself, did he really slept somewhere after 6:30 pm, cause he sleeps no more than 9 hours, doesn't matter if it's the weekend or during the weekday. But he hates sleep, he would rather get aids than sleeping for more than 9 hours. However, he got back to sleep, even though he hated going back to sleep. He woke up at 6:30 and just got tired of sleeping for almost half a day.

"You know what? Fuck it, guess I can stay over at Bella's house tonight, that is, if she lets me," said Ilia with a numerous percentage of energy. He got up, traveled around the village and tried to meet more friends. He was approaching the house and it had a sign next to the house. It said, "Bob's House." Ilia knocked on the door, and it opened.

"Howdy there, who are you?," asked Bob the cat.

"Um, my name is Ilia, I'm the new mayor of Melville," said Ilia. His nerves were getting to him, and he was shaking as if he was freezing on winter.

"Oh, right, I remember you now, sorry, I'm so forgetful," chuckled Bob, "Heck, I even forget my own name sometimes. Haha! Well, come on in." Ilia entered his house and the house was spotless. Everything was well organized. The floor was shining brighter than the sun. The couch was pure green, no dust. Bob's house was like a expensive hotel room.

"Would you like a cup of tea to begin your day?," asked the gentle and kind hearted Bob.

"Oh please," responded Ilia, "That would be fantastic." So Bob went to the kitchen to prepare the tea, he was boiling water at the stove. He then called his wife to come.

"Lolly," shouted Bob, "Come down here please." Lolly came down the stairs and asked him why he wanted her down to the kitchen.

"Hey sweetie," said Bob in a romantic tone, "We got a visitor, his name is Ilia, the new mayor. He seems like a kind adult." Lolly looked at Ilia and greeted him.

"Hello there, nice to meet you," she shook Ilia's hand and shook it really hard, "My name is Lolly, I am Bob's wife. We have been married for half a year. I also heard that you are the new mayor here. You have made the right decision in becoming mayor. Trust me, you'll like it here, we are very friendly here. No one is enemies with anyone here."

"Um, thanks for treating me well," thanked Ilia, "I know that this place is home. I love the people who live here, anyways." The tea was ready, and Ilia went to the dining room so that he could chug the tea.

After the tea was ready, they all sat down at the table, and began to chat.

"S-s-s-so, umm," Ilia stuttered, he forgot what he was going to ask, "What happened to the old mayor of this town?" This was a question Bob didn't want to answer. He gasped, realizing that Ilia had to know about the dark past of Melville.

"Where do I begin?," thought Bob to himself, "Before I can tell you what happened, I need to explain to you what happened before you moved here." He sighed, "Did you actually thought this town was always peaceful?"

"Umm, yeah," said Ilia with a confused look on his face, "Why do you ask?"

Bob became a bit nervous, "Well, my friend, you're wrong, this town used to be a hell, even worse than the real hell below us."

"Wait, why? What are you talking about?," Ilia was completely confused, he thought that Melville is like a paradise.

"You see, 10 months, aka July of 2016, 3 bad criminals used to live here in Melville, they assassinated our old mayor, Tortimer and his wife, after then, no one wanted to become mayor after Tortimer's death. Not only that, but they killed many people here at Melville. For example, do you know who Diana is?"

"No," Ilia nervously replied. He didn't want to hear another word about the past.

"Well, she lives here too, and she and Beau were married for only one day, because on the next day of their wedding, Beau, unexpectedly, was killed, because of jealousy. Not only that, but the criminal who killed Beau also raped Diana, and was forced to abort the baby, because the criminal's lazyass didn't want to take care of the little one. Another example, do you know who Amelia is?"

"I also don't know her yet," Ilia became interested in the conversation, and wanted to hear more about the town's history.

"Well, this may be sad. Anyways, Amelia had to go to a meeting at her job, an unexpected meeting, and she trusted her older son, who was 13 at that time, to babysit her younger son, who was 4. At about an hour after she left, someone knocked on their door, the kids thought that their mother had arrived, but when they opened that door, it was actually those criminals, they harmed both of Amelia's children. When she saw that her two sons were laying on the floor in a puddle of blood, she fainted, nearly having a heart attack. When her neighbor, Cherry, figured out that Amelia was laying down the floor, barely breathing, Cherry called the ambulance. Both the cops and the ambulance came. Cherry, because she was a witness, had to accompany Amelia and her children to the hospital. Amelia had recovered really fast. Her 13 year old son had only one gunshot wound in his arm, and was recovered. But, sadly, her 4 year old son didn't make it, because he was shot in his tiny lil' head. Amelia couldn't believe the words her doctor was saying. Those words impacted her life forever. She stayed home crying after she got home. At the funeral, she was screaming. Her siblings were having their heads down, some had to wipe out their tears. The toddler's brother and his cousins were crying, losing a young boy. The brother didn't want to be a lonely child again, but he had to accept his brother's loss. Ten days after the funeral, Amelia became an alcoholic that she even lost her job. She became an alcoholic, because she wanted to forget about her lost son. Her other child, the only son she has, ran away, because he didn't have food to eat, and because he felt like his mom didn't even care about him no more. Amelia became poor after she lost her job, and since she only thinks about drinking and nothing else, she has literally forgotten about her only son. Amelia didn't gave a shit about anything in her life after the tragedy."

"Oh my god, I can't believe the toddler died from those jerks," Ilia tried to keep himself from crying, but, he couldn't handle it.

"Yep, however, they said that they will come back soon, so we gotta keep an eye out," said Bob with a worried look.

"Alright," Ilia said, "I'll leave now, got some stuff to do, see you soon."

"Good bye," Bob waved at him.

Ilia now had an important mission, now being mayor of this town will be worth it.
