East Rose

I arrived at a new town named East Rose, it was a strange town, to begin with, I looked up and there was very little about this town. But, I decided I´ll go to the bar. Until I realized I had my backpack and my katana behind my back, but I thought calmly, maybe later.

So when I arrived at the bar, I had these weird vibes. I sat down on a stool while waiting for the bartender to ask me for my order, I felt someone looking at me.

I moved my head to see if someone was really looking at me. I knew it. Someone was looking at me, turns out he was right next to me. What a creep. "What?" I looked at his green eyes. "Well, Masaaki Sato, I never met a hybrid before." What the hell? Was he a stalker? Or . . . did he work for the Colossal System?

"How did you know my name?" I started to get aggressive.

"Warlock, cupcake." The man said, warlock? I´ve heard of warlocks, corrupted wizards. Wizards play as advisers as they could see the future, but they can sometimes want to . . . well, how the hell do I say this? Rebel.

There are arguments whether or not warlocks are considered as rogues or not. I suppose they are, I mean, they went rogue! Of course, they are rogues.

"Cupcake? You know I have a name." I said. He smirked, "My new nickname, cupcake." The warlock said.

"How original, warlock," I said. He laughs and looks me into the eye, "I´m Jax." He said I looked right back at him.

"And you already know my name, Jax," I said, he laughed once again and the bartender comes to me.

"Any drinks?" The bartender asked.

"Just-" I was interrupted by Jax.

"It´s on me," Jax said.

"I´ll just get water." I ignored Jax, I wasn´t ungrateful or anything, it´s that I don´t want a stranger that I just met pay my drink.

The bartender nods and leaves to get my water, "Didn´t I say it´s on me, cupcake?" Jax said, I sighed and looked right back at his green eyes.

"Because I just met you," I said. He glances at his empty cup, then looking right at me.

"You think, I´d put something in it? I´m not a creep." Jax said I didn´t trust him. Probably maybe because of my trust issues, or it may be something else. He´s a warlock, he´s corrupted. I suppose it could also be it. "Where´s the proof then?" I didn´t want to let him pass so easily.

"Trust me." He said. I flinched at the word trust, I never was used to the word trust. And I never will be. "Fine," I said I didn´t want him to notice my trust issues.

When the bartender comes back with my drink, Jax gives the bartender a few dollars and a tip and gives the drink to me.

I grabbed the drink and started drinking it, then all of a sudden Jax gives me a rose. "Wow. Thanks for the rose. I guess." I said sarcastically. I´ve seen roses before, I never thought much of it. "What, you like expensive things cupcake?" Jax said I rolled my eyes. "No. I´ve seen roses before, plus if you´re trying to seduce me warlock, try a Lil´ harder." I drank the cup once again.

"Not trying to, just want to be friends," I felt like Jax was looking through my body and into my brain. I didn´t know what was going on, "Okay then, warlock. If we´re going to be friends, tell me about yourself." I said. he smirks.

"You already know," Jax said, no. I didn´t know.

"I want to know about you," Jax said, I rolled my eyes and left. "You probably already know about me. You´re a warlock after all."

"Heh. True. But . . . I´d love to walk you home." Jax directly looks at my eyes.

"Sorry. But no."

"What about a stroll then?" It was quite obvious that Jax wanted to hang out with me, but I didn´t mind strolls. In fact, I kinda like it. "Why not?" I responded back.

As we head out of the bar, we could hear noises.

"Is it coming from . . . the trash?" I asked to myself.
