Chapter 2 - Unexpected proposal

"Where am i...?" Ruy mutters to himself as he pressed a hand to his head in attempt to comfort his splitting ache. He scanned his surrounding, looking for anything to help ground and anchor him to where he currently is. All he spotted in return was three people laying in front of him, two he knew very well. Very well was an overstatement but he knew them way more than a guy who seemed to have bright red hair. What's up with everyone having bright hair these days? Maybe he should dye his hair too. Other than that, he doesn't see anything that could help him figure out where on earth he was kidnapped to. He used the wall the hoist himself up to check if anyone else is still alive. It would be a little creepy if they weren't. He slowly made his way to the unconscious bodies and groaned as he leaned down, shaking Eglantine awake first.

"Hey...Hey..!" he whisper shouted as he shook her harder which makes the sleeping beauty groan and swat his hand away like some fly. 

"Fuck off..." she sleepily muttered as she rolled away from him, seemingly comfortably curling up to her liking. She let out a relaxed sighs and smiles, drifting off to sleep again. 

Ruy didn't know whether to cry or laugh right there. He was a little amused to be honest but this wasn't the time to giggle like some high school girl. He turned his attention back to the rest who might actually wake up. He gently shakes the white hair girl which she jolted awake to immediately, letting out a loud shriek and violently flinching. This brings out a really concerned expression from our main character.

Is she okay?? He immediately backed away to give her space and time to adjust.

"You alright...?" He asks as softly as he could as he observe the girl's behaviorism. She seemed panic as if she witnessed something horrible. Did she have a nightmare? He tilted his head downwards to further collect on what she was feeling but she quickly moved away. 

"I am fine!" She let out a smile as she squeaked out a small answer, turning to face away from him instead as she seemed to realize the gravity of the situation. 

"Where are we?" she narrowed her eyes at the dark room and quickly rushes to the other unconscious people once she noticed them. 

"Oh god are they alive?!" she shrieked out as she shook a boy awake making the boy groan in response as his eyes slowly crack open to stare at her. Ruy was about to reassure her gently that they were very much still not dead but was interrupted by a loud flirtatious voice ringing through the air.

"Woah? Who is this cutie?" His lips curled upward into a grin as he playfully winks at her. 

Ruy was bewildered. Is this guy seriously flirting with someone he just met? Did he even notice that he got kidnapped? He was pretty sure the young girl felt the same too. She sighed and decided to ignore him, looking at Ruy with an annoyed expression as if asking him to help her deal with this weirdo. Giving in, he shakes his head and moves closer towards the stranger. 

"Hey there dude. Do you know where you are right now?" He gently touched his shoulder which makes the stranger rolls his eyes and laughs. 

"HA! of course! we are probably in my room right now after a wayyy long night after partying ALL day!" 

"You sure about that?" Ruy raises his eyebrow at this response, almost amused. He wasn't surprised that this particular man was interested in the nightclub. His loud and boisterous way of dressing up was very evident he seeks the party and attention lifestyle. His hair looked dyed too, he could see a small hint of black roots on the top of his head.

"Huh why? You think I haven't slept with guys either? Especially ones like you?" He leaned in towards Ruy and smirked, bringing his finger to trace the tanned man's face. 

"uhm..I don't really swing that way-" 

"HEY don't touch my future husband!" A familiar voice rings out near him as a hand appears to stop the strange man from harassing Ruy. 

Eglantine.

Of course she saves the day again! wait. Future husband..?

"Oh wow...I slept with you too? Excuse me...you are not exactly my type...how drunk was I?" The strange guy placed a hand over his chest, almost offended.

"Okay first off all...we are not at your place," Ruy barged in the conversation, trying to clear thing up. 

"Yeah and Ruy here would NEVER sleep with ya," The pink haired girl added, folding her arms and glaring at the guy across her. 

"So you would?" He retorted back.

"Okay. Listen here you WHO-" 

"Shh..did you hear that?" The timid girl flinched and quickly shushed everyone else before things started escalating. 

"Hear what? The sound of a bitch talking?" The loud boy turns to Eglantine, smirking at his own comment. Before she had the chance to snap back, the ceiling opened. 

That made no sense. I meant there was a part in the ceiling that was a door and wow it's pretty bright. All they could see was light at first, momentarily blinding them as they took their time to adjust to the new surrounding. Then a bunch of soldiers walked in with a is that a DOG? 

Ruy heard an audible gasp beside him which almost made him turn his head around to see who it was before the dog started speaking. 

Well thank god it's not actually speaking, there was a speaker attached to its neck. Is that harmful for the dog? His thoughts were interrupted by a raspy voice coming from the speaker. 

"Hello" 

"uhm hi" Ruy awkwardly replied back. 

"are you seriously speaking to a dog right now?" The annoying red head snarks at the situation. 

"We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion from this situation. But the reason you were all called here is because we have a proposal. A request" 

"You literally kidnapped us!" Eglantine protested as she crosses her arms.

The voice paused for a bit before continuing, "Well...there is a a threat right now...a war is about to break out and we need you to aid us in this horrible issue," the mysterious voice almost cracked like they were about to tear up and start sobbing.

"And if we refuse?" The timid girl shyly spoke up. Wow I feel like I have heard of that line before? 

The voice just laughed in response and in a moment they were all gone leaving everyone just more confused.

"Bro what does that even mean" 

As if to answer their question, a loud rumble could be heard from the ground, alerting everyone in the group. 

"Is this an earthquake??" Ruy's voice cracked with fear from the tremors while the timid girl screamed.

The walls opened up (again) to reveal a whole bunch of people around 5 who seemed to be as confused as them. Huh they must be kidnapped here too.
