Legacy
Alayna's Story
Generation One
Chapter Two
Man Hunt
We last left off with Alayna heading into town to find a man.
Alayna arrived at the park. It was a beautiful park and she could plainly see seeds. Her parents had told her in their instructions to her that she would need to start a garden and take care of it.
She figured she could take the seeds home, then have her new husband take care of the garden. He could do all the dirty work.
The park was full that afternoon, but as far as seeing guys her own age, early 20s, there just didn't seem to be many.
She even saw some protesters in front of City Hall.
But there was only one guy in the group. She didn't know what they were protesting, but if it had anything to do with women's rights, then maybe he could be pretty cool to stand up for her.
However, with her wanting a man servant, he might not take to kindly to doing everything for her. After all, women were now equal. Well, she was equal, just she wanted the man to do everything for her.
Of course, he also wasn't the cutest guy around either.
Alayna looked around the park and talked to a few people. She ended up talking to a middle age guy, Simis. He was very helpful. She knew he wasn't the guy for her since he was middle age, and it turns out married, but he has lived in Sunset Valley all his life and knew everything about it and all the people.
She explained her story to him, whether he wanted to hear it or not, because to her it was just so awful, and she told him she needed to find a good man to marry or else her parents would disown her.
The man thought for a moment and told her that there were only a few single guys in Sunset Valley.
There were the Frio brothers' and look there is Conner Frio now.
Simis told her that Conner was the nicer brother, but he was also a loner.
Simis said Jared Frio wasn't such a nice guy that he was actually kind of mean spirited, and he had a toddler with his next door neighbor, Ursula.
"There is Cyclone Sword or whatever he calls himself," Simis hiss. But he has been know to be a punk and that she should stay away from him. He is only over there with the lady protesters trying to get lucky, but it wont work. They all know him to well.
There is also a single man name Kolff, but he is a much older man. At least in his late 40's or early 50's.
There was no way Alayna would ever date, or marry a guy that old. She rather do the work herself.
"Well, is there no one else?" Alayna asked, disappointed and a little heartbroken. Maybe, she would have to take care of herself.
"Well, there is Christopher Steel. That guy over there fishing. He is around your age and is very nice," Simis replied.
"Oh, thank you," Alayna said, then headed over to talk to Christopher.
She couldn't believe these men were her only choices in town. How could her parents dump her in such a terrible place?
She walked over towards Christopher and noticed a seed. At least, this way maybe she wouldn't seem so desperate to catch a man. She didn't want to scare off the apparently only good man in town.
She bent down pretending to be only interested in finding seeds, when she raised up and noticed the fish he had caught.
"Wow, nice catch," she said.
He put down his fishing rod and turned to her.
He was immediately taken with her beauty, and realized that she was new to town. Sunset Valley had some pretty ladies, but they were already taken.
He started by asking if she was new to town.
Alayna immediately told him yes. However, she left out all the details of her parents dropping her off. She only told him that she had moved far away from her evil parents and that she was all alone in Sunset Valley. She came to the park to make friends.
They talked for a long while. She found him very easy to talk to. They talked about everything from movies they liked to even lady bugs. He was really friendly, and nice.
She asked him if she could tell him a ghost story and he said yes.
But as she began to tell the story, Christopher walked off. Alayna was mad.
"Where are you going?" she demanded.
"I'm sorry, but I will be back in a minute," he replied.
Alayna thought it a tad rude that in the middle of her tale he would just walk off, but I guess when you have to go, you have to go.
By now several people were watching her tell her tale, so she didn't stop. Christopher soon came back and sat down to listen to the rest of her story.
Even some other people eventually came over to set and listen.
By now it was late, and she was getting hungry, she noticed a girl on the other side of the park selling cupcakes. She finished her story, then walked over to the other side.
Simis saw her walk by and immediately asked her to sit. He introduce her to the group.
And they offered her a hot dog. Alayna was glad to have some food. Even though, she had a fridge at home it didn't have much in it. She didn't have a lot of money for food, so when the group kindly offered her food, Alayna was grateful. She even thanked them.
She was starving. She hadn't eaten all day. Alayna was surprise at how nice the locals were. They weren't being paid or rewarded to offer her food. They were just being nice.
However, Alayna's gratefulness soon turn to disgust when she saw the line of ants crawling towards the food and her stomach soon turn to nausea with the thought that she might have ate an ant.
She put down the plate, said a quick goodbye to everyone, then ran to the street to catch a cab home.
Once home, she let her stomach settle for a bit, then found herself very sleepy. She went to bed dreaming of her childhood that was filled with great memories. Memories of others taking care of her, and her forgetting about the place she was at now.
This ends Chapter Two. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it. I really enjoy writing it. Please, leave comments on the forum if you want too. Thanks.
