Watermelon Chase
Chapter-01
Olwen turns towards the direction of the sound.
--the speed of the footsteps increase--
Olwen
*starts breathing heavily*
the ground underneath her feet disappears and she falls down to nowhere.
"Olwen, wake up! We're gonna be late again!"
Sophia
Olwen!! We're already running late! AGAIN! Mrs Laura's gonna end us!
Olwen wasn't listening to her.
She was thinking of something else...
Olwen
(that dream again....)
Sophia
Olwen?! Are you there?!
Olwen
huh? yah, yea, I'm sorry. What were you saying again?
Sophia
*sighs in frustration*
Olwen
Mrs Laura? and what?
Sophia
Gosh, can't believe I have to deal with all of this!
Sophia
Mrs Laura is hosting a special event today! Remember?!!
Sophia
If we miss out, we're done!
Olwen sits there for a while trying to clear up her mind.
--Olwen suddenly get up--
Sophia
Yes....we're pretty fucked.
Olwen
shitshitshitshitshit
Sophia
And now you're panicking.
Olwen
What's the time now?!!
Sophia
Yea and goodbye to our jobs if you don't get your *** ready to leave now.
--Olwen rushes to bathroom--
Olwen and Sophia were both walking in a hurry.
Sophia
Better get them working faster.
Olwen
I had that dream again.
Olwen
The dream where I'm inside a dark room and I hear someone running,
Olwen
and even people screaming for help sometimes.
Sophia
The only thing I can imagine right now is Mrs Laura screaming at us.
They were both at the sidewalk sides what was bunch of alleys that lead to long narrow paths.
Sophia
I hope I get a new job soon.
As they walk Sophia notices a tall guy crossing the street.
Trennar was already at the other side of the road.
Sophia walks in a faster phase towards him.
Sophia
Goddamn, you're running late too, aren't you?
Trennar
Can't wait for some bleeding ears.
Sophia
I'm not mentally prepared for that yet.
Trennar
Where's Olwen though?
Trennar
Don't tell me she forgot again.
Sophia
I was actually afraid she would, so I just went to get her myself.
Sophia
What are you talking about?
Sophia
*turn around* Can't you see she's right-
Chapter-02
Olwen notices some movement in the dark alley.
A rat runs out of the a corner.
Olwen walks towards the area.
Olwen walks deeper into the unfamiliar dark alley.
The nearer she got to the thing making the sound, the more cautious and slower she got.
She was finally at the turn where the truth would be revealed...
Sophia
Oh my god! Of all the times, you decided to wander off now.
Trennar
What are you doing here, Olv?
Sophia
What are you staring at?
The crow was making the weird sound by flapping it's wings to the ground.
Olwen was still staring at the crow and Sophia noticed.
Sophia
We're running late.
Olwen didn't seem to listening, so Sophia tapped her on her shoulder.
Olwen
I thought today was Sunday?
Sophia
Sh! You don't wanna be trouble.
Sophia
*whispers* I can already hear some incoming compliments.
Laura
I know it's isn't a great feeling to work at sundays but you gotta take some trouble in life sometimes.
Olwen
Working here is enough of a trouble.
Olwen
Me? Did I say anything?
Olwen
*gives a smile* Your ears are getting old.
Trennar
SO MRS LAURA! What's the special event?
Laura
*smirks* Some important and super secretive people have booked our restaurant for today.
Sophia
Didn't you say it's some event you're hosting for your son's birthday?
Laura
My son's birthday is months away
Sophia
What?! You lied to us?
Laura
Let me finish? You disrespectful brat.
Laura
Look, this is an important deal.
Laura
We've got to impress them.
Laura
They are some very important rich people.
Laura
This could even be your chance for a better life!
Sophia
Do you expect me to thank you?
Sophia
And what is even all of this?
Laura
You better watch your words.
Laura
This is our only opportunity!
Laura
They'll be here at 7, prepare well.
Olwen
That's 3 hours away from now.
Laura
Yea, you better hurry up.
Sophia
What are we even preparing?
Olwen was cleaning the bathroom.
Olwen
I should have been quiet.
Laura
So, Olwen, your job is first do the bathroom and then go to the grocery store to buy these things. *hands a slit of paper*
Olwen
Aren't there supplies already?
Laura
Yea there are! But I'm trying to expand the menu!
Laura
Supplies would take time!
Olwen
But there are also others who just have the decoration works, can't they go instead?
Laura
Olwen, just do your job.
Olwen
*mimics* "just do your job"
Olwen
I'm seriously tired at this point.
Olwen
*turns around immediately*
Chapter-03
Olwen
*turns around immediately*
Olwen walks over to the girl what was freaking out because of something near the dustbin.
Stranger
I- I thought...I thought it was de- dead...
Stranger
B-but then IT BIT ME!!!
Olwen squads down to look at the rat closely.
Stranger
Don't get close! It's bite you too!
Stranger
I think it's infected by some virus!
Olwen
looks like all it's blood's been sucked out...
Stranger
SEE?! IT MOVED!!!
Olwen
Should I accompany you to a hospital?
Stranger
I was heading there anyways.
Olwen
Be careful at the way.
Olwen squads down again to look at the rat.
Olwen
It's definitely dead but it's still moving...
Olwen
(no, touching it is dangerous.)
Olwen
(But it is dangerous to be just laying at the road...)
Olwen gets up, grabs a stick and slicks it in between the two dustbin.
Olwen
Sorry lil guy, this is the only thing I can do for you right now.
She gets up and walks away.
Laura
Why haven't they come yet?
Trennar
Did they ditch us?
Sophia
you surely can see the answer yourself
Bunch of well dressed men come in.
Sophia
oh boy, they're wearing masks.
More people come in after a while with another masked man and a masked woman.
At last another group comes in with yet another masked man.
Laura
Yea, the whole restaurant is just for you.
???
Good, you can leave us alone.
Laura
You wouldn't like any service?
???
No, thank you. We don't expect any interference.
Olwen
*sigh* All my hardwork.
Olwen
*searches for phone*
Olwen
Don't tell me I left it at the grocery...
Olwen
Oh wait...no the last I used phone to check time was while I was cleaning the bathroom of the private room.
Olwen
It must be heavily guarded there...
Olwen
I'm sure they won't mind...
Olwen
Don't tell me they don't know there's a backdoor.
Olwen
should I tell them to gaurd this door as well?
Olwen
Surprisingly there's noone here...
As she was looking for her phone, she noticed some rats running around.
Olwen
Y'all weren't here when I was cleaning this place...
Olwen
How come you appeared out of nowhere?
Olwen
You can thank me later mrs Lauren.
She goes towards them with the sweep aiming at them.
Olwen
Sorry, I don't like this restaurant too but-
Someone suddenly grabs Olwen's hand.
