In William's defense, Thes was a big city, with a complicated system.
"This is the tenth time this month you got lost!" Landon yelled at him through the cell. "Whatever, I'll come find you, just stay put no matter what!"William was in the forgotten port of Thes City. It was not that exciting of a place, rather bleak. Moss grew on the docks and the water smelled really bad. Even William wondered how he got to this place from school. His sense of direction was so bad!
To pass the time, he decided to make a mock fishing pole and see if anything fell for it. Not that anyone wants to eat the fish near Thes, unless they have a death wish or something.William was drifting into a sleep when he felt what was like a soft, cold thread pull his chin up. A man with long hair that seemed as if it was floating was right next to him. His mouth was stitched at the sides along with any joints. Black threads were trying to come out of them but forced back. The body just seemed to be drifting, as if it was threatening to go to another dimension.
Cue being scared shitless."What is a boy like youuuu," The man's voice seemed like multiple people talking at once, it was close to being white noise. "Doing on private property?"
"I-I didn't know it was private, s-s-sir," William stuttered.The man got really close. Obviously he never heard of personal space. He bent down and whispered into William's ear. "Now you know."
The lower half of what would be the man's body was engulfing William. All he could feel was cold sharpness. He couldn't run, even if his body was obeying his brain. Will has never been this scared. What is this man doing?!"Hey, William!"
"Huh?" All the sudden, the man was gone and William was just standing there. Landon was running over."Goddamnit, Will, stop getting so lost all the time! Well, come on, band practice is probably over by now so no use going back there. Let's go home," Landon said as he grabbed William's neck to drag him along. Will couldn't get over the shock though.
