The Runic Gate
Top Priority
Kyle
What are you doing all the way out here, Mikey?
Mike
What I am doing here is none of your business.
Kyle
Would you like me to tell Mrs. Smith what you said?
Mike froze up when he heard those words and slowly rolled himself out from under an old car.
Mike
She sent you here to find out what I was doing, right?
Kyle nodded his head in response and Mike seeing this clicked his tongue.
Mike
That old woman is getting on my nerves.
Kyle
Aren't you tired of getting punished by her? Just now you wouldn't be able to walk on your own two legs.
Mike
Punishment is the least of my worries right now.
Mike picked up all the tools that he was using to fix the old car and put it back in the tool box.
Mike
Escaping this place is my top priority
Kyle
What exactly are you going to do when you do get out of this orphanage?
Good Bye
Mike
Make a living for myself by fixing old devices that run on magical energy.
Kyle
I don't see what is so bad about staying right here.
Mike walked up to Kyle with an angry expression on his face and pulled up his shirt.
Mike
This is the reason why I am trying to leave this place. I am sick and tired of being beaten for doing what I love.
Kyle
Why don't you try talking to Mrs. Smith about it?
Mike
D-Do you guys really think that Mrs. Smith cares about you?! She's just using you!
Kyle
Mrs. Smith is trying her best to look after us! Why can't you get that past that thick skull of yours.
Mike walked up to him with and grabbed him by his shirt.
Mike
I hope you could keep that mindset when you are sold off to drug dealers.
Kyle
What are you talking about?
Mike pulled out a paper from his pocket and shoved it into Kyle's chest with a scoff.
Hidden Truth
Mike slowly walked off while Kyle slowly opened the paper he had given to him. In it was the names of children that was going to be sold off to the drug dealers tomorrow.
Kyle's eyes widened in shock, not believing anything what he was reading on the paper.
Kyle
How long did you know about this?
After hearing no response, Kyle turned around and saw that Mike was already gone.
Mrs. Smith
Where is that stupid boy!
Mike
I'm right here Mrs Smith.
Mrs. Smith
What took you so long–
Mrs Smith slowly turned her attention to Mike, who was still holding a big toolbox.
Mrs. Smith
What did I tell you about touching my husband's toolbox?
Mike
You told me not to touch it.
Mrs. Smith
Then tell me why are you holding it right now?
Mike
Because I'm using it. What else would I be doing with it?
Mrs. Smith
I don't like the attitude you are giving me little boy!!!
Mike
I don't like yours either.
Mrs Smith angrily pulled out a whip from a cupboard draw, when she heard those words.
