"Are you alright?" A random girl said. Before Rachel could respond her vision became blurry and she passed out. She woke up in a random apartment with a blanket on her near to a fireplace. She realised the blanket is not old like what she's seen in the streets. It's brand new.
"Ah you're awake finally." the random girl replied, holding hot chocolate in her hand passing it to Rachel. Rachel looked at the girl that was giving her hot chocolate. The random girl rolled her eyes and said, "Dont worry its not poisoned it would make you feel better." Rachel took the hot chocolate and began drinking.
"You passed out from starvation. You didn't eat lunch I supposed?" The random girl said sitting beside her. Rachel looked at this mysterious girl. She was nervous because she was brought to a room and an apartment with someone she doesn't know. She felt as if she was kidnapped. She looked at the mysterious girl and rubbed her hands together and said,
"Dinner. I didn't eat dinner." Rachel said. Rachel looked at the mysterious girl with confusion. As if she was delusional. She is unaware of where she is. Million thoughts were repeating in her head. "Where am i? Who is this girl? How was it lunch when I didn't eat dinner? What time is it? What is happening?" The mysterious crossed her arms and gave a loud sigh. She went closer to Rachel. Rachel moved back a bit while the mysterious girl got closer.
"I see.... so you are from Times Square?" The random girl said. She looked at Rachel with a stern look. Rachel mouth opened.
"Yeah wait, who are you?" Rachel said. More confusion was placed on Rachel. She was having suspicion on who this person is. And what does she mean Time Square. Wasn't Earth together as a whole? This Earth there are no countries. Only one. And that was Time Square. Time Square is the mainland on Earth. Other islands were just the second tier of it.
"Oh my bad my name is Emery. But people call me Mikaela and welcome to Mekolan" MIkaela said.
"What's Mekolan? My name is Rachel by the way" Rachel said. Drinking her hot chocolate.
"Mekolan is a placed where there is no freedom, no hope and less chance of survival." Mikaela said.
"You must kill to survive. There is no law, you can do anything you want. That was why you were almost raped." Mikaela said. Rachel spilled some of her hot chocolate on the carpet. Mikaela looked down with an expressionless face. Then she looked at Rachel again. Mikaela was expecting this reaction. After all of the other people from Time Square she heard of.
She walked to the kitchen to get a cloth and began wiping the carpet. "I'm sorry i'm just shocked." Rachel said. Mikaela added, "It's alright. Others act like that as well." Rachel looked at Mikaela confused. She looked at her surroundings and then she asked Mikaela.
"So are you one of them?" Rachel stuttered her words. Mikaela giggled and folded her arms. "No I'm not, I promise. I saved them from threats like them. I too was like them. No money, no house, almost no chance of survival. Until I met my master."
"What's your master's name?" Rachel asked.
"You will know his name later. Because you are going to meet him" MIkaela said. Rachel was confused.
"You have to leave this place before the government knows. If not, you are going to suffer a terrible death and you do not want to know what they will do. Trust me." MIkaela said. Standing up from her seat.
"Wait, how do you gain money?" Rachel looked at Mikaela. There was a long pause and Mikaela said, "It's simple. You have to kill."
