{Mwaha, I decided to go for a familiar to me scenery, for a change. ^_^}
They had walked a couple of miles, when Katrina started to notice a change in scenery. The grass was slowly disappearing, being replaced by paved roads. Buildings were popping up in several random places, and pretty soon, if she were to look up, she would only see the buildings as far as the eye can reach.
"Where are we, Smas?"
"This, my friend, is a city."
"I know what a city is, oh great teacher What city?"
"Uh, I'm pretty sure that it's called Minneapolis."
"Long name."
"Try spelling it."
"M-I-N-I-A-P-P-L-I-S."
"I can't even begin to tell you how wrong that is."
"I need to sit down."
"Why?"
"I feel light-headed."
Smas sighed, "There's an alley over there."
Katrina staggered over to the alley, and leaned up against the wall. She slowly fell down to the ground, her vision slowly became clouded, until the only thing she saw was a faraway light.
"You know why I must do this."
There was a girl, Katrina, tears running down her face. "You killed them. We all loved you, and you killed them."
"But you know why I must do this."
She shook her head, "I thought I knew you, but now, your name is no longer Jacob."
"I am your brother, your elder, and your superior, and you had better learn to respect it."
The tears continued falling down her face, "I have no brother. This strange man standing in front of me killed my entire family, including the wonderful brother I once had."
The strange man picked her up, holding her close to his face, "Just be happy. Be happy that I'm letting you live, for now"
************
The world around Katrina slowly came back into view. She saw Smas standing over her, looking very confused. She shook her head, and she remembered where she was. She looked up at Smas, very confused.
"It was my brother, well, not my brother anymore, but he was"
Curly whimpered by her side, and licked her face. Katrina put one arm around Curly, and looked up at Smas, expecting something to come out of him, but he just stood there, absolutely shocked. That's when she noticed people looking at her in the streets. One woman was pointing, and talking to a young man standing next to her.
"You see that child there? Yes, that one. No, not the boy! The other one! Yes, the brunette. Call the police, tell them Katrina Bounty has been spotted at Film and 186th, would you? Here, use my cell phone."
Smas looked over to the woman in fear, and ran right through the crowd, into the street, and kept on running down an alley on the other side. Katrina stared at the crowd for a good minute or two, before beckoning to Curly to follow her. She started sprinting down the alleyway in the opposite direction of Smas, hoping to get away from the crowd of onlookers.
"Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into now?" asked Katrina to no one in particular.
