"Where are we going?" I ask as we walk through the woods. "We've been walking forever and we seem to be lost."
"Oh shut up." Sixteen says, looking around. "We're not lost, we're just going to find a friend of mine."
"Will he help us?" I ask
"I think, unless old men stopped being wise"
"You're friends with an old man?"
"Yeah, he's cool though, he got assassinated"
"That makes him cooler?"
"Duh."
We walk in silence until he come to a large town and Sixteen starts laughing. "Ha! Told you we weren't lost!"
"So, who's this old man?" I ask. Sixteen doesn't answer. Instead she pulls me through the town and in front of a giant tower. A beefy man was leaning against the side of the tower next to the entrance.
Sixteen walks up to the guy and says "It's Sixteen and that's my friend, now let us in."
The man opens the door and inside it is amazing. It is huge! We walk inside and a woman who looks about 20 years old greets us. She has curly red hair and two cute ears and is wearing, a black sweater, a black skirt, black boots, a red scarf and a red bandana. She quickly walks over and gives Sixteen a hug. Sixteen pulls away from the hug and asks the woman, "where's Viper?"
The woman smiles. "Upstairs, but who is this" She says looking at me.
Sixteen looks at me "Oh, that's-"
I quickly realize that I never told Sixteen my name. "Oh, sorry" I say, "I'm Ginger."
The woman smiles and says, "I'm Ruby, now come on we might be able to find a guest room for you."
"Oh," Sixteen says, "we're not here to stay, we're kind of in a hurry. We need Viper."
Ruby frowns. "Oh, well I'll go get him." She walks off.
Sixteen turns and looks at me. "Once Viper helps me find my sister I'm ditching you."
"What?" I ask "Aren't you going to help me find out who I am?"
"What? No of course not." She turns her head and looks at another woman who also looks about in her twenties come over here. She has green hair in a spiky ponytail and is wearing a green tracksuit with black stripes on the side and green shoes. She has a weird green dinosaur tail.
"Hey Sixteen!" She says running over. "Who's the friend?" She says smiling
"Oh, I'm Ginger." I say.
"Well, nice to meet you Ginger!" She says. "Welcome to the Steelix guild!"
Then a tall, old man walks up to us. He is wearing a brown fedora, a deep brown trench coat, tan pants and brown shoes. He also has a face plate on and has a tail that seems to be made out of some type of metal. He looks at me strangely and says "You appear to not be a hybrid."
"Um, yeah Viper don't worry about her, you need to help me now." Sixteen says rudely.
The old man looks at her. "Sixteen be patient, there are other problems in the world."
"Oh! Come on! It's an emergency! My sister is gone!" Sixteen shouts.
"Your sister is gone?" He asks.
"Yes!"
"Um," The woman with the spiky green hair says, "I'll just be going now" She walks away.
"So, your sister is gone. Isn't she a ninetails?" The man asks
"Yeah and I think she's been kidnapped!" Sixteen shouts
"Calm down, I'm sure we'll find her." He says. Then he turns to me. "Could you leave please, Ruby will show you around." He calls Ruby and she quickly comes, grabs my arm and starts pulling me through the tower.
We walk through the tower while Ruby talks and talks. She tells about how she woke up with no memory and was about to be sacrificed but Viper saved her just in time and how she joined Viper's guild and all the missions she went on. When we were finally done with the tour, we went back to where Sixteen and Viper were. Sixteen jumped up from a chair and said. "Come on, Viper says he might know where my sister is! But he says I should bring Ruby…" It was pretty obvious Sixteen was not a fan of Ruby, but Ruby seemed more than happy to go.
"Well, where are we going?" I ask
"To Dark Crater." Sixteen says and starts walking out the door.
A/N Thanks for reading! Sorry for being slow and for the shorter than normal chapter, I've been very busy lately.
