Chapter 24: Stay

The capital was quite a bit crazy if I was not going to lie to my self, as I had thought that the city that I had lived in was quite a bit loud during the day, but it was nothing compared to the place that I was at right now, if I was not going to lie to my self. It was so loud, as it only seemed to get louder, due to the fact that when some one spoke to me, I could not hear them, so they had to start to speak up louder to me, so that I could in fact hear them.

It seemed to be like that for every one, at the exact same time as well, as it did in fact seem like if some one could not hear, than the other person would in fact begin to start to speak as loud as they could, so that the person that they were in fact speaking to, could in fact hear as to just what it was that they even had to say in the very first place any ways, none the less.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then got my mind off of all of that, though it was a bit hard for my mind to focus on any thing right now, if I was not going to lie to my self, due to the fact that there was just far too much noise going on around me right now. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden got my focus on the people that were around me right at this very moment in time.

Right now, I was with Dwayne and Kenton, as that was who it was that Noah had told me to go after, as he had told me that we needed to go and look for some people to join the rebellion that he had told me about, and he had said that they were interested in doing such a thing as we were doing right now. Apparently there was a lot of people that were interested in some thing along the lines of what it was that we were doing, based off of the fact of all of the unhappy looks of all of the people that were in the streets.

There were a lot of protests on some of the government buildings, but it was clear that it was not really doing any thing at all, as I let out a bit of a heavy sigh to my self, all at once, and I then got my mind, and I got my focus on some thing that was altogether completely different than all of that, which was the fact that I saw that Dwayne and Kenton had all of the sudden seemed to turn around the corner, as it seemed like I had nearly lost them for a second, through the big crowd that was around me right now.

I breathed in quite a bit to my self, as I was quite a bit scared if I was not going to lie to my self, as I had no idea as to just where it was that we were going, as well as the fact that I did not have as to much of a clue as to how to get back to the place that Noah had told us to meet him at with the rest of the rebellion, all at the exact same time as well, as he had said that we would all have a place to stay the night at by that point.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I began to look all around me, as I stopped my self in the middle of the road all at once, to try to see as to just where it was that the both of them had even gone over to, in the very first place any ways, as I was quite a bit scared if I was not going to lie to my self, as to the thoughts, and the fact that I might be alone in this massive city that we were in right now.

I felt a few people bump in to me, as I had stopped my self in the middle of the street, as I saw that they gave me quite a bit of a nasty look never the less, but they did not say a thing about it, nor did they make a big fuss about it, as they just kept on going on with their day, as they kept on walking down the road that I had been walking down before all of this.

I had stopped my self now, all of the sudden how ever, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was going on right now, nor was I all too sure as to the fact that I had not a single clue as to just where it was that the both of them had gone off to in the very first place any ways. As I began to start to look around, I then all of the sudden spotted an ally way that seemed to stand out to me, all at the exact same time too, for some odd reason or another, never the less.

I squinted my eyes at the ally way, as I tilted my head at it all at once, as I then all of the sudden realized as to just what it was that stood out so much to me, in the very first place any ways, as I realize that it was the fact that I knew that Dwayne and Kenton had been told by Noah, that this was the ally way that we needed to be at, as be had given us a map, all at the exact same time as well, which I had on me right now.

I was not the best at spotting things that I needed to be at, but it was clear to me that this was the place that we needed to be at right now, as I then all of the sudden began to start to head down the ally way, to join up with the both of them, as I had to guess that was where it was that they had gone off to in the very first place any ways, as I then all of the sudden nodded a bit to my self, all at once, and I then all of the sudden began to start to walk past the crowd of people that were on the streets.

As I got past the big crowd of people, I then all of the sudden, sure enough, saw that Dwayne and Kenton were side by side down the ally way, a bit half way at this point, as I saw that the both of them had been looking at me with a bit of a worried look on their faces, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear to me, that they had been a bit afraid that they might have lost me for a second, which they kind of had until I had woken my self up, luckily enough for me none the less.

I nodded a bit to my self, and I then nodded to the both of them, all at the exact same time as well, to let the both of them know that they had my full attention right now. I could tell that they were both glad that it was the case for me, as I then began to start to head over to the both of them, all at the exact same time as well.

As I got close to the both of them, I then all of the sudden noticed that Kenton was all of the sudden beginning to start to speak to the both of us, all at once, as I looked over at him with a bit of a blank look on my face, as I began to start to listen as to just what it was that he even had to say to the both of us in the very first place any ways, as I just blinked my eyes a few times, as I did as such a thing.

"This is where we need to be right now... Noah said that he would be in 3C, so he should be just up there on the second story..." He said to the both of us, as he pointed up at the building that was in the middle of the ally way that we were on right at this very moment in time, as I then all of the sudden turned my head over to it, and I just seemed to stare at that with a bit of a blank look on my face, once again, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should say right now, if I was not going to lie to my self.

I sighed a bit to my self once again, as I just seemed to stare for a little bit longer, until I then heard some noise start to come over from where it was that Kenton and Dwayne were at right now, once again. I was a little bit lost as to just what it was that had made the loud noise, but as I turned my head over to the both of them, I then all of the sudden began to notice that the both of them were now all of the sudden beginning to start to head over to the building that they had just been talking about, all at the exact same time as well.

I blinked my eyes quite a few times, as I just seemed to stare at the both of them with quite a bit of a blank look on my face, as it was clear that I did not have a single clue as to just what it was that was even going on right now, even though I knew that it was fairly obvious as to just what it was that was going on right now, in my head, as I knew that the both of them were heading over to the building, and the place that they had been talking about.

I breathed in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden nodded quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should be doing right now. Though once again, I knew that the answer was fairly obvious, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was even thinking right now, as I shook my head a bit to my self, all at once, and I then all of the sudden began to start to follow the both of them, all at the exact same time too.

I knew that there was nothing else that I really needed to be thinking on right at this very moment in time, besides the fact that I knew that I had to follow the both of them in to the place that we were about to be going over to, as I saw that the both of them were already walking up the steps never the less, as I then did the same as them, as luckily enough for me, I was not all too far behind them, even though I felt like I should not be behind them at all, all at the exact same time too.

I kind of felt like I could not help but to be behind them right now, as I knew that right now, I really was in no such sort of mood to be talking to any one, nor was I all too sure that I could be able to talk some one in to joining a rebellion right now. I was quite a bit scared if I was not going to lie to my self, as this place that we were at right now, was even bigger than it had been in the dream that I had seen.

It made me feel like the dream that I had been in, had not been real at all, though a part of me kind of felt like I was lying to my self if I was going to think that it was the case, as I knew that a part of me did in fact feel like a lot of this could have in fact been real. The towers were in fact real, though I suppose that Noah had told us all about those, and he had told us not to be scared about that, as it was simply a place where the high class usually worked at, or lived in, none the less.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then all of the sudden remembered the pyramids, as they had in fact had the eyes that I had seen in the dream on them, but luckily enough for me, none the less, the eye did not seem to be living, nor had it seemed to be moving around, kind of like it had been doing whilst I had been in that dream, all at the exact same time too.

The dream freaked me out a bit, as there was a lot that had happened in that dream that had made me feel quite a bit sick, as I then all of the sudden began to start to remember seeing my wife in the dream. I let out quite a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I knew that was why it was that I was even here for in the very first place any ways, which was the fact that I knew that it was where it was that I had needed to be to be able to save my wife, all at the exact same time too.

I hoped that she was still alive, as that was the only thing that felt like was keeping me alive my self, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I shivered a bit at the thought of all of this. Either way, I knew that some thing had to be done about all of this evil, like it or not, as I knew that there was some thing that was not all too good for the future generations of this world, or this nation none the less, if we did not get some thing done.

I blinked my eyes, as I then all of the sudden got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those thoughts all at once, as I then all of the sudden heard very loud knocking all of the sudden, as it got my focus off of all of the thoughts that I had been having before now, and before all of this, none the less, as it got my mind back on to the presence luckily enough for me, as I then all of the sudden looked at just what it was that was even going on right now, in the very first place any ways, which was the fact that Dwayne was knocking on the front door of the place that we had been told to go to.

I still was a little bit scared that this could be a trap, but at the exact same time too, I also knew that I had to stop thinking that way, due to the fact that I knew that it could not be the case at all how ever, as I knew that Noah would not have taken all of us, all of this way, just to simply kill us for no such sort of reason at all, as I knew that if he had wanted us all dead, than he could have easily had that happen a very long time ago none the less.

I shook my head, as I then all of the sudden shook out all of those thoughts from my mind, all at once, as I got my mind on some thing altogether different than that which was the fact that I had all of the sudden started to notice, as well as the fact that I had begun to hear some movement near the front door of the place that Dwayne had just knocked on, in the very first place any ways.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I stared at it with a bit of a blank look on my face, as I heard that the locks to the door were beginning to open, as not all too much longer after all of that, all at the exact same time too, I then all of the sudden saw that the door knob began to start to turn. I shivered a bit to my self for some odd reason or another, as I then saw that the door had begun to open none the less.

As I saw the door open, I then all of the sudden saw that, much to my surprise, the person that opened it was a woman, and not just any woman either. The woman had a cloak on, but in side of the cloak, I could see that it was a very beautiful woman, that seemed to be in her mind 20s if I had to guess, as I did my best to try to not drop my jaws, as it was one of the most beautiful sights that I had seen in my life.

I thought that my wife was beautiful, but this woman was on a new level to me, if I was not going to lie to my self either. I did my best to try to keep my calm, and act like I was not out of the ordinary, as I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, and I then got my mind off of the lady, which was quite a bit hard for me to do right now, if I was not going to lie to my self, due to the fact that she was standing right in front of me, right at this very moment in time, never the less.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I just kept my eyes on hers, as I saw that she had quite a bit of a confused look on her face, as she had her head tilted at us, all at the exact same time too. It was clear that she did not know who we were, nor was she all too sure as to just what it was that she should do right at this very moment in time either. I just stared at her with a blank look on my face, all at the exact same time too, as I knew that I really did not want to give up any sort of information away to the lady either.

Noah really had not told us much about her, and I had not even known that it was going to be a woman never the less, all at the exact same time as well, how ever, as it did in fact make me feel a little bit uncomfortable. I dipped my head a bit low to the ground, as soon as she then all of the sudden nodded to all of us, to let us know that she was about to speak to us, all at the exact same time too.

I did not nod back to her how ever, as it kind of felt like it was a bit hard for me to do as such a thing, if I was not going to lie to my self. I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I then got my mind off of all of those thoughts, as it seemed like the both of Kenton, and Dwayne had nodded back to her how ever, to let her know that they were paying attention to her, as I then all of the sudden began to start to hear her speak up to all of us, all at the exact same time too, none the less, as I did in fact listen as to just what it was that she had to say in the very first place any ways, despite the fact that I had my head a bit low to the ground.

"Who are you all? What do you want from me? I paid off my rent if that is what you are here for..." She said to us, as I then all of the sudden lifted my head up, as I was a little bit lost as to just what it was that she had even said in the very first place any ways, as I blinked my eyes a few times, and I then got my mind off of the thoughts of the fact that Noah had told us to come here due to the fact that he had told us that she would be here to help us with the rebellion.

It was clear that the woman did not have a single clue as to just what it was that we were here for in the very first place any ways, that seemed to confuse me so much, as I blinked my eyes, all at least once, as I was starting to think that we might have come to the wrong place none the less. It was clear that the lady did not have a clue as to just what it was that was going on right now, and it was also clear that Noah had not told us that it was going to be a woman that was going to be here either.

I breathed in just a bit to my self, as I felt like it could be due to a lot of different reasons if I had to guess. Based off of what it was that the lady had said, it was clear to me that she was in fact struggling to pay for rent in the place that she was living at right now, as for all I knew, she could have just moved in here. After all, Noah had lived in our city for a very long time, and he had not been to the capital in for ever, so for all we knew, the person that he was talking about, could have moved, or perhaps even died.

I blinked my eyes a few times, once again, as I then all of the sudden turned my head over to the both of them, as I wondered if they were thinking the same thing as I was. Perhaps they were thinking that Noah had just told us the wrong place, but I doubt that was the fact, as Noah tended to have a pretty good memory. Perhaps they could be thinking that we had come to the wrong place that he had told us about, though I also doubted that as he had made it clear on the map, as to just where it was that we should be at, all at the exact same time as well.

I breathed in quite a bit to my self, all at once, as I got my mind, and I got my focus off of all of those thoughts all at once, as I knew that I really should not be thinking all too much on just what it was that they were thinking right now. I felt like, we were in fact not at the wrong place, but we just had simply been to late to go and see the person that Noah had told us about, as I stared at the both of them for just a little bit more time, none the less.

I stared at them with a bit of a blank look on my face, at the exact same time as well, until I then all of the sudden opened my mouth up to go and speak to the both of them, as I felt like it would just simply be a good idea to just try and leave this place as soon as we could. I did not know this place, and I for sure did not know the people that loved here either, as I felt like it would just be a better idea to leave this place as soon as we could, and just head back to Noah.

I am sure that he would under stand, and I was sure that it would make sense to him as well, as to just what it was that had gone on here in the very first place any ways, as I kept my mouth open, due to the fact that I was about to start to speak to them, when all of the sudden, Dwayne decided that he was going to step up and speak this time instead, which was a little bit of a surprise to me, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I knew that Dwayne really did not like to step up and speak all too much in the very first place any ways.

I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden dipped my head a little bit low to the ground as well, as I was a little bit disappointed as to the fact that I had not got to speak before he decided that he was going to speak up to the lady that was at the front door, as I was quite a bit worried that he might say some thing stupid, or he might say some thing that could give us away, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.

I breathed in just a bit to my self, as I did my best to get my mind off of all of those thoughts all at once how ever, as I knew that I had to stop assuming that the worst thing was going to happen in every single scenario, as I knew that it was very dark, and it was very depressing to live in that kind of way, all at the exact same time too, as I dipped my head a bit low to the ground, due to the fact that I felt a bit guilty for the fact that I was even thinking in that kind of way in the very first place any ways, none the less.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I did in fact stare at the ground for just a little bit longer, until I then began to start to hear Dwayne begin to speak up once again, as it was clear that he was speaking to the woman that was at the front door with us right now. I did my best to try to keep my calm as well, as I just stared at the ground for just a little bit more time, and I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what I was that he even had to say to the woman that was with us right now, in the very first place any ways.

"Um... You are the person that Noah told us to meet? He said that you might be able to help us, is that correct?" He said to the woman, as it had me a little bit worried at first, as to just what it was that he had even said to her in the very first place any ways, but as I began to think a little bit more on just what it was that he had even said, I would then begin to realize that he had really not given up all too much to this woman in the very first place any ways.

I breathed in a little bit of a soft and soothing sigh to my self, all at once, as I knew that Dwayne knew as to just what it was that he was doing right now, as I knew that, whilst he did not seem to want to talk all too much, besides this situation that we were in right at this very moment in time, he was in fact a very smart man, as I knew that I needed to calm my self down, as I knew that every thing was going to be okay, and that we all were going to be fine, never the less, as I nodded a bit to my self, all at the exact same time too.

As soon as I had done that, I then all of the sudden lifted my head back up to the both of them, and also to the lady, as I knew that the worst thing that could happen, was the simple fact that the woman was going to tell us that she was not the person that we were looking for, which I already was quite sure of at this point, if I was not going to lie to my self either. The other thing was going to be, which I really doubted was the case, was the fact that she might ask a few questions as to just who it was that we were talking about right now.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I knew that if the rare case was that it was the case in the very first place any ways, than we could just go along with the simple fact that we were not going to answer the questions that she had to ask us, and that we were just going to go on along with our day. I knew that was simply all that we could do, as I in fact did seem to calm my self down a little bit, now that I knew that it was the case, all at the exact same time too.

I then just stared at the woman that Dwayne had spoken to, all at the exact same time as well, as I saw that she had a bit of a blank look on her face none the less, as it did not seem like she had a single clue as to just what it was that we were even talking about, in the very first place any ways. I rolled my eyes a bit to my self, as I then all of the sudden let out a bit of a heavy sigh, all at the exact same time too, as I was just about ready to give up, and tell both Kenton and Dwayne that we should leave.

Just before I did in fact turn my head over to them, to do as such a thing, I then all of the sudden noticed that the lady all of the sudden began to start to look at each one of us, and stare us all down, as she looked at our entire bodies all at the exact same time too, as it did in fact make me feel quite a bit uncomfortable if I was not going to lie to my self, as I was started to feel quite a bit uneasy as well, as I moved around a little bit, and I got my mind off of all of the thoughts that I had been having before.

I was not all too sure as to just what it was that the lady was even doing right at this very moment in time any ways, if I was not going to lie to my self once again, but it did in fact garner my attention as to just what it was that she was even doing right now, as I then looked away from the both of them, and I then seemed to stare at the lady, all at once, as I squinted my eyes at her as well, as I did not have a single clue as to just what it was that she was even doing right now.

I squinted my eyes at the woman, as she did not seem to be paying all too much attention at all to that either, which had me even more lost, as to just what it was that was even going on with this lady in the very first place any ways, as I kind of felt quite a bit uncomfortable right now, if I was not going to lie to my self too, as I wondered if the both of them felt the same, which as I looked over at the both of them, I really could not tell if that was the case, as they too seemed to have a bit of a blank look on their own faces.

I wondered if I was missing out on some thing that was important, as I was not all too sure if I was not going to lie to my self, as I was in fact quite a bit uncomfortable right now. I was about to dip my head a bit low to the ground once again, such as I had done before now, when all of the sudden, all at once, I saw that Dwayne and Kenton all of the sudden began to move, which kind of scared me at first, as I was wondering if we were about to get attacked.

When I looked at the both of them how ever, I saw that the movement that they were doing right now, was a simple forward movement, as I then all of the sudden saw, and I noticed that the both of them were starting to head in to the place that we had just knocked on the door of, all at the exact same time too, as I was quite a bit lost right now, if I was not going to lie to my self either, as I shivered, as I then all of the sudden looked back over to the lady.

As I did in fact do as such a thing, never the less, I then all of the sudden noticed that the woman was already going in to her home, a little bit deeper than I would have liked, as it was also clear to me, all at once, that both Dwayne and Kenton, all at the exact same time as well, were both following her, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on right at this very moment in time, as it did in fact make me feel quite a bit uncomfortable as to the fact that they were going in to her place.

I was not all too sure as to just how it was that they could feel like it was in fact safe enough to do as such a thing, never the less, as I knew that we had not even got to know the lady at all just yet. Perhaps I was just over thinking all of this, as it was now clear to me, all at once, that the lady had in fact recognized the name of Noah, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear to me too, that she knew as to just what it was that was going on right at this very moment in time any ways.

I felt like I was being a little bit slow right now, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I did in fact kind of feel like I was a little bit behind the schedule right at this very moment in time too, as I then all of the sudden just began to start to follow with what it was that Dwayne and Kenton were doing right now, and in the fact that they were following the lady in to her home right at this very moment in time any ways, as I then all of the sudden caught up to the both of them, as Kenton then all of the sudden closed the door.

I was not going to lie to my self about that either, as to the fact that he was closing the door, as it kind of felt like we were trapping ourselves in to the place all of the sudden, even though I knew that it was common courtesy is to what it was that he was going right now any ways. I shook my head, as I got my mind off of all of those thoughts, and I got my mind on to some different thoughts than that, which were of course the thoughts that the lady knew who it was that we were talking about when we had brought up the name of Noah, in the very first place any ways, as I then let out a little bit of a soft sigh to self, all at once, once again, as I felt a lot more safe now.

I then continued to follow Dwayne and Kenton further in to the small home that we were heading in to right now, as I knew that it was even smaller than the place that I had lived at, not all too much longer ago from now, all at the exact same time too, as I then got my mind off of all of those thoughts once again. I knew that it was besides the point, and it had nothing to do with just what it was that was going on right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways.

As we began to head in further in to the place, I then all of the sudden saw the both of them stop, as it was clear to me that we were now in the woman's living room area, as she just seemed to have stopped us here for some odd reason or another, as I tilted my head a bit towards her, all at once, as I still did not have a single clue as to just what it was that was even going on right at this very moment in time, any ways.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I then looked at the lady right in to her eyes, which was quite a bit hard to do, as it was quite a bit dark in this place, besides the fact that there was a candle lit up on the other side of here that had to do with the fact that it was quit a bit dark in here in the very first place any ways. I wondered if it was due to the fact that the woman did not have many for the candles, as I could tell, not only, just based off of the fact that she had said that she was short on rent, but there was also the fact that the place did not seem to have the finest of property either.

I shook off all of those thoughts once again how ever, as I knew that it was nothing to be concerned about, as I knew that it was also none of my business either, as I got my mind off of all of those thoughts all at once, and I got my mind on to some different thoughts instead, which was the fact that she had in fact just nodded to us, as I saw that both Dwayne and Kenton had nodded right back over to her. I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should do at first.

In the end how ever, I did in fact do as the same as I had seen both of them do, as to the fact that I nodded back to the lady as well. Not too long after all of that had happened, and she had seen all of us nodded to her, to let her know that we were in fact paying attention as to just what it was that she even had to say to us in the very first place any ways, none the less, she did in fact begin to start to speak to us all, as I did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that she even had to say to us all, all the exact same time as well, too.

"So... He really did what it was that he said he was going to do huh? He really did bring this rebellion together? I would have thought he would be dead at this point, even if he had started a rebellion, crazy to think that he made it this far..." She said to us, as it now all of the sudden, after what it was that she had said to us in the very first place any ways, it seemed to clear all of the thoughts that I might have had in my head before, as to the fact that Noah had a bad intent on this, and that he really was out for some thing different, all at the exact same time as well. I now knew that it was not the case, as I knew that he would not have planned all of this, in to this much detail, for simply just a few people. The story that I was beginning to realize, was happening, simply all just had to be true, as it did not make sense to me at this point, that it could not be true at all. I breathed in a little bit of a relieved sigh to my self, all at once, as I then all of the sudden got my mind off of all of those thoughts all at once, as soon as it was that I had seen both of Kenton and Dwayne nod back to the lady once again, as it was clear that the lady had nodded to us all, just as she had done before, to let us know that she was about to speak to us once again. As I had seen them do as such a thing, I did in fact look back over to the lady, though this time, for some reason or another, I did in fact not nod back to her. It was clear that she was not paying attention to that how ever, luckily enough for me, as she just kept on speaking to us. "Well... That is besides the point... I am going to go ahead and assume that you are looking for supplies and a place for you to stay?"
