Folded Piece of Paper [Ep: 001]

I quietly sat on my bed. I look out the window..my sight was blinded by neon lights. I look down on the road. All I see were cars driving with high speed—police cars chasing after them. Bright Red and Blue lights and sirens brings me headaches.

I got back up and closed the curtains making the room dim. I don't mind it being dark...all I want to focus on is the situation I got myself into.

A few days ago, I was minding my own business walking back inside my home after taking a smoke break. I didn't even get a chance to turn the knob due to someone hitting my back with a small stone. It didn't hurt, but it bothered me so much.

I looked behind me angrily to see who it was, it was a child. My anger quickly disappeared after finding out it was a kid...I mean, it's a kid. Kids are stupid, or at least the children in my city aren't raised really well.

I turn back to my door. The kid stopped me from entering my home by yelling, "Hey mister!". I turn to the kid just to see her smiling at me. "What is it?" I asked as I walk towards the child. I crouched down to her level to have a proper conversation.

"Your name is Blank, right?" I was shocked. How did this little girl that I have never seen before know my name? "Yes....how did you know?" "A Friend of yours told me to give you this." She pulled out a folded piece of paper.

I open the paper. I realized it was a letter. From who? I stood up as I read the letter.

“ To:: Blank.

You probably don't know who this is from, I'll tell you by the time you finish the letter. A little girl sent this to you, am I right? She's my sister so don't hurt her. I didn't want you to know who I am so I asked her to bring this to you instead.

Remember that time when you and I fought? Probably not...from what I know, you fought many people—but do you remember when we fought?

Oh yeah, you still don't know who I am. But that's not important right now. I still want that gold piece on that choker of yours...If you don't give it by Monday I'm going to come for you...I'm going to rip that choker off your neck, and take all of your money.

I'm an impatient guy...so hurry up and don't even think about trying to escape me. I know I left a scar on your stomach, and I will do it again.

-Clover ”

I was panicking. I wanted to give Clover's little sister the letter back, but she was gone. She ran away while I was reading. It made me so mad, yet so scared. I don't want to give him the gold, I *can't* give him the gold. It's the only piece of my family left...the only piece of my mother left.

((Ah, jeez..all I wanted was a smoke break, now I have to deal with this?!)) I yell at the back of my head. I shut the door behind me and let out a groan. I should be used to not knowing what to do, panicking, and being so confused...unfortunately, I'm not. Or at least not yet.

I sat on the nearest seat I could find. I grip on the letter tighter, I don't know if it's because of anger or fear. Something that popped up in my mind made it worse.

That little girl...she's Clover's sister, right? Did he seriously told her to just look for me? He's going to let her roam around this dangerous city all by herself?! Does she know the way back??

I click my tongue. Why am I worrying about her?

...Should I worry about her? Maybe she knows her way back...I've never met her before anyway, there might be many things I don't know about her..

I gently take my choker off. I stare at the piece of gold, resting on my palm.

"I don't want to loose you again..."
