Where is the peace (14)

Tied up in a small and dark room, was an ordinary girl, it was Miran who was wearing as a girl. He was on the cold floor, and he had just woken up, so he looked a bit confused.

Being in such a dark room where he cannot see even his hand, makes his heart beat frantically. There was no window where light can come in, and he can feel that the place he was in are quite small.

Feeling that, cold sweat trickle down and he start to feel suffocation, deep inside he feel a sudden fear and he also trembled. He opens his mouth and called out, "I-is there a-anyone here?"

He called a few times but there were no response, even the outside is very quiet. Gasping for air, he tried to move, wanting to sit up but was unable to do so.

This situation make him feel that he have been in this situation before, but he can remember when. Hours goes by, and finally he heard some footsteps outside, when it stop, he can hear the sound of keys and the lock being opened.

However the door are not yet open, faintly he can hear there were more than one people, talking outside. He heard them laugh, and then heard some keyword about kidnapping, ransom and also reward notice.

While they were watching, they opened the door. Miran lay down on the cold floor again when he heard the door is opening. The light coming from outside blinded Miran eyes, making him quickly shut his eyes.

"Haaaah, she's still unconscious." One of them commented and went forward. Miran feel that they pinched his chin and turn his face to left and right. "huh... Hey boss, I think this girl is kinda pretty somehow."

Miran stayed still, afraid to move, as the other guy, probably the boss responded to that guy, "you wanna make her as your wife or something?"

"Well.. if boss don't want her, then I'll be darn happy to have her." The guy said laughingly as he take away his hands and stood up. He went to the boss and they left the room, closed the door and locked it again.

Miran opens his eyes as he feel utterly disgusted. To be taken as a hostage but these people were not really planning to return him back, is quite a bad situation. He need to find a way to run away, but his hand and feet are both tied, it was hard to move.

"H-He just turned around and look at me, right?" Ran muttered confusedly and he stared at Klein with a shocked expression.

"What do you mean that both of you will die?" Klein frowned as he grabbed Ran, put him on his shoulder and asked in a low voice.

"!!!" Ran who was now shock, cried as he told Klein that Miran is probably was in a danger situation where he need some people to help him in that situation. And seeing that Klein is seriously listening to him, soon pointed the direction where he can feel Miran is, "I'm just like a spirit, only can float and talk, but cannot do anything. I-If we are late, things can escalate and might be dangerous enough that can possible cause death..." He cried while still pointing the direction.

"Didn't he always go out with the other two? Why did he go alone?" Klein walked as fast as he could, and when there is less people around, he started to run.

He cannot possibly fail his mission just for this reason, and as for what this Ran is, he just thought of Ran as a little fairy that were just sticking to Miran.

The houses and shop lot started to become less and not many, the buildings also become scattered as they soon reached the edge of the town. In front of them is the wall surrounding the town. "Is it here?" Klein asked.

"No, you need to go foward more, its far..." Ran said anxiously when he saw the wall.

"Alright, you hold tightly, i'll have to jump over." Klein waited for a few second, and when he heard Ran said that he is ready, Klein ran and then jumped, he reached the top wall with his hand, grab it and then climb over before he jump down.

After a safe landing, he looked at the shaking Ran, and can see that he continue to point to a direction, so Klein ran straight to that direction.

This took them more than an hour, as they need to go through the dense forest, and Klein stopped when he saw some old looking buildings. The people walking around seemed to look like a group of bad people, and by their side, they all have weapon like axe, knife, spear, and so on.

"There, he should be in that building" Ran said as he stand up, he quickly floated toward the said building, and he was fast that Klein did not manage to stop him.

Then he remember that other people was unable to see Ran, and wiped his sweat away. He rested for a bit and watch this Ran go into a small room just by the side of a big and better looking building. Klein can guess that its probably the building where the big boss should be staying at.

Taking a deep breath, he ready to sneak into this place, when there is a sudden chaos in that small room, the guys guarding around entered the room and the rest went there to check it out.

"!" Klein feels that its going to go bad, so he went in quickly, going toward that room.

----

Miran panted as he looked at the bleeding man on the floor, he looked up and see that it was a chance, so he ran toward the door. "M-Miran, the guards are coming in..." Ran said with panic when the system gave a second danger warning.

And just a second later, two big guy enter, making Miran stopped his step as they were blocking the exit. The two guys face become ugly when they saw that their second boss are in that condition.

Miran stepped back, his eyes stare at the two guys and then the exit door.
