Chapter 2 - Trustworthy Promise

"W-where am I?" Geon woke up and found himself locked on a cell "Anyone here!? Please let me out!, I don't want to be here! someone please help!"

"Would you please shut you mouth, your already locked up and theres nothing you can do"

"W-what is this place?"

"Isn't it obvious it's the Town Prison"

"No way I can't go to jail" Geon said while he tried to get out "I don't belong here let me out!"

"For the sake of gods" The Prisoner covered his ears then lie on his bed "You will only loose your voice if you keep shouting"

Geon continued on shouting to let him out but no one came by, after a few hours a Guard came

"Sir please I beg you let me out"

"Come with me" the Guard opened his cell

"Thank you, thank you" Geon said as he hugged the Guard, not knowing he stole the Master Key

"Stop it" The Guard pushed Geon " I will just gonna take you to the Head Officer and soon you will still end up here"

When the Guard is about to take Geon, he grabbed the Guard and throw him in the cell, Geon then locked the Guard and quickly run off

"You brat come back here!" yelled the Guard

"H-hey you there, yes you with the keys get me out of here and I will help you escape" said the prisoner asking to team up

"How should I trust you"

"There are total of 24 Guards all in this prison yet I'm sure you can't pass through them, I know an underground passage to get out from here"

"I-I'm sorry"

"Wait you know it's only about time the Guards will know your trying to escape, trust me I will get us both free"

"...Fine" Geon did not hesitate and open up the cell of the prisoner

"Thank you very much now follow me"

Geon then followed the prisoner, they sneak out and hide to avoid the Guards until they reach their destination

"Wheres the key?"

"Here" Geon handed over the key to the Prisoner "Do you know what key to use?"

"Of course, hold on a sec..."

"There they are get them!"

"The Guards are here can you do it a bit faster?" Geon asked anxiously

"I'm trying... There got it"

"Then let's go"

"I'm sorry kiddo" The prisoner went Firts and locked the door

"L-let me in, HEY!"

The Guards came and beat Geon with strong punches

"Trying to scape too bad your to slow" The Guards tied Geon up and about to take him to the Head Officer

When they are still walking to their way to the Head's Office Geon fell down because of the pain in his body he took after being beaten up

"Hey get up!" The Guard kicked Geon "Are you still not getting up!? you know you will get hurt more right? Come on get up already!"

Geon is still not getting up

"Tsk, you help him out" The Guard commanded to his fellow comrads

Later, they then reached the Head's Office, they untied Geon and make him sit down

"Hello there buddy I hope your alright, what is your name by the way?"

Geon did not answer and remained silent

"Okay let me introduce myself first, may name is Pike the Head Officer of Kai Joga Prison and what you are thinking is correct, I have access to everything in this place hehe... Of course what is a Head Officer without any control of any units" Pike said fooling around with Geon "Anyways do you know why your here?"

Geon tilted his head

"Your hear because of the case of robbery, murder and direct assault against person with authority and robbery, now tell me your innocent"

"(...Murder? all I did was to steal, I did not kill anyone) I'm not a murderer, I admit I steal things but I'm not the kind of person that kill random people"

"Are you sure" Pike looked directly to the eyes of Geon "Then why are my 2 soldiers dead a small distance where we found you unconscious?"

"I did not kill them, t-the mask guy did"

"The one with a black cloak?"

"Yes, yes he killed them, he stabbed them and cut their troat"

"I'm sure you meant she"

"She?" Geon wondered

"The person with a mask you were talking about is eventually a girl, she is actually wanted right now and we had a high bounty for her head right now, we don't know her name but she is charged with multiple cases"

"Is that so..."

"Yes, oh our chit chat is now over"

"Does that mean I can go home?, I mean the girl is responsible in killing your units"

"Hmm... I'd wish to let you go but to bad you said you steal from others" Pike turned around to the shelf and looked for a book to read" Boys you may now take him back to his cell"

"N-no I don't wanna go back" Geon tried to resist on being locked in the prison but nothing happened

"Enjoy your goodnight sleep and don't shout for help again because no one will come to save you, remember no one is trusted in this world but only yourself haha" exclaimed The Guard

Geon has nothing to do but to stay down in his cell

In the midnight while Geon is sleeping someone came by

"Psst...Hey wake up, wake up"

"Huh? you?"

"Shh... Yes it's me the prisoner you just helped earlier, My name is Russle and I came back to help you out" Russle lock picked the iron door "This will get some~~ oh n-never mind, come on let's go"

Geon then again followed Russle

"Wear this" Russle hand over a Guard's Uniform to Geon

"What is this for?"

"You will disguise as a Guard and I will pretend as a prisoner got it, now no more questions and put it on"

Geon wore the clothes

"Okay let's try passing through this Guards"

"How many were they?"

"6, if we can't pass through them will procceed to plan B"

"I'm sorry what?"

"6, are you deaf?"

"No I mean what is plan B?"

"You will soon know, let's go"

Geon then act as a Guard and that he will take Russle to the Head Officer

"Hold on there, where are you gonna take him?"

"Oh, Pike asked me to take this prisoner to him, I believe today is the day of his execution"

The Guard looked at Geon then looked next to Russle

"You 2 look familiar"

"Of course we are you dumb" Russle said with a mocking face " His a Guard and I'm a Prisoner, you see us everyday"

"Intruders!"

"Oh crap" Russle bring out his knife, he attack the Guard with a striking force of thrust and then he killed the other 4 soldiers with a extreme speed of stabbing them

"I-is this what you meant by plan B? T-to kill them?"

"Indeed, sometimes you need to kill in order to live, now let's get out, their reinforcements will be on their way right now" Russle guided Geon on their way out "My friends will be here"

"Then where are they?"

"Over there" Russle pointed out to the group of people with horses

"I can't ride a horse"

"Who said your gonna tame that horse, I'm his owner, Sofia take him"

"Got it, come on mount over sweet heart" Sofia pulled Geon "Ever rode a horse before?"

"Y-yes but it turned out badly cause the horse keeps on kicking me everytime I fell down"

"Haha, Oops let's continue talking later"

"The Guards, let's go, HIYYAA!" Russle then lead his team away from the town of Kai Joga
