Chapter two: A chance encounter

Autumn P.O.V

I sighed in front of the computer. I had work to do yet no inspiration. I stood up and put on my Victorian style lace boots. I sat on my vanity and brushed my long Reddish,Purplish hair. before deciding to put it up in a pony tail. "Brother! I'm going out!" I ran out of the house, not even bothering to make sure he heard me. I decided to walk to the subway station, the best way to find inspiration on a report about criminal violence? Well, Go to where all of those punks gather. I walked down the beautiful streets of Crystal city. Crystal city is located in the middle of no where.. Literally you need to get lost to find this town. Crystal city is a small town, located in a desert. A few miles south of Crystal city is, Stimander. A town that is much smaller than Crystal city. Stimander and Crystal city are in a feud, Over what? Why government money of course. Crystal city has more..- Wealthy citizens, Me and my family being such. Stimander is much more, ragged. I even wished the government money was given to Stimander. Enough of that though. As I started the decent down the stairs to the Subway station I could hear the wicked laughs of the hooligans. Oh! Did i mention that the crime rate in Crystal city was very high? I could see suspicious people smoking suspicious stuff. I just ignored them though. "Hello, Girlie." A rough, ragged voice came from behind me. I wasn't scared though, these were just punks, They weren't going to do anything to me. "Hello." I greeted shyly. "Girlie, Why don't you come with us?" I paused.. us? I turned around and saw, three. I was already making a plan to get out of this. "Please leave me alone" I looked down at my feet. One of the punks grabbed my chin and pulled it up closer to his face. "Stop that!!" I heard a high pitched voice behind me. "Or what?" One of them said "Or this!" Said the strange girl. The girl kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. The man fell to the ground howling in pain. I looked at the girl and the rest of the punks ran away. I walked over to the girl. "Hello, Thanks for that. I'm Autumn, And you are?" The girl looked around. "I'm Risa! By any chance are we in Stimander?" I laughed. "No, Your at Crystal City. Stimander is a few miles south." "Oh" Risa responded. "Uhm, Miss Risa?" I said. Risa looked at me. "Since you saved me how would you like to stay at my house for how ever long you would like" Risa's eyes widen "Oh No! I couldn't impose like that!" I laughed and shook my head "Nonsense. Me and my family has more than enough room." I took her hand and started to walk, dragging her along. "My parents are away on business so its just me and my brother." Risa struggled to get out of my grip, She failed though "Thats even more of a reason why I cannot stay!" She said. I shook my head. "My mother always complains on how she doesn't have enough people to cook for."
