The Girl In The Tower

RyuJunkie · Apr 9, 2013

"Why did I decide to do this again?" Royce had asked himself. He sighed as positioned himself for the jump. Royce was at the very top of the Grandmore building, the tallest building in all of Fortuna. It also helped that it was the closest building to the Tower of Eden. Royce looked down at the edge of the building a gulped. "Man....this is pretty high." He readied the makeshift hang glider that his friend Mark and made. Mark was extremely good at making things, however Royce was questioning weather he could make something that could fly. You might be wondering how Royce got himself into this situation. Well it all started two days ago.

"So did you get them?" Mark asked.

"Yep. Take a gander for yourself." Royce replied with revealing a couple of pictures of women both naked and getting undressed. Royce's latest bet had him sneak into the ladies dressing room at the Sea Sky Beach resort at take some snapshot of some lovely ladies baring it all. Lets just say the women weren't too pleased. Neither were the cops. However he manged to get away like he always does.....well 75 percent of the time. "Now pay up you guys."

"Damn it. How do manage do get so luckily?" Mark asked handing him over the 100 bucks he owed him.

"Guess I got the magic touch....or feet."

"Alright. I got one more for then. This one is much more dangerous....really dangerous."

".....How dangerous are we talking? Nothing that's gonna cost me my life."

"Well it won't....if you do it right. I bet you can't get into the Tower of Eden and take a couple of pictures of the girl in there......bonus points if you get them while she's undressing." Yeah if you haven't figured it out yet, Mark's a perv.

"Oh man I don't know. Public citizens are forbidden to go there. I hear you can get into deep deep shit if you're caught."

"Well you mostly never get caught. Do it at night when the lazy guards are there."

"I'm not so sure."

"I'll give you 1,000 bucks. 1,500 if you get her undressing."

'1,500 bucks?! That's a lot of money. Probably enough to get me out of here to America.' Royce thought. "When do we start? I still 1,500 even if she's ugly."

With his hand firmly gripped onto the hang glider he took a few steps back to give himself some running room. "Well.....you only live once. Here goes nothing." He said as dashed off the building. "Oh shit!" He yelled as he started to nose dive, but he quickly regained himself as he was flying over to the tower. "Hope no one heard me."

Sere sighed as she doodled away at her small wooden desk, one of the few things her father let her have up there were a pencil and paper. He didn't approve of her drawings, usually the city and the people she watched from her hideout. Her cheek pressed into her palm of her hand as her other hand swiped lead streaks over the page, the doodle turning into a scribble from boredom. It was hard not to become bored when the only other person to talk to was herself or her best friend silence.

But the moment of silence was broken upon hearing a loud curse. "Hu?!" she jolts up and looks around, usually when hearing another voice it was her father ascending the stairs, but this voice was not familiar. Placing the pencil down she stood from her desk and moved to the window thinking someone below was making a commotion. "There isn't a festival today..." she said to herself as she creaks open the window to look bellow, a small frown found her soft pink lips to see nothing in the court yard. To her it would have been some form of excitement, though she wouldn't have known how to deal with it if she were to go down there. She couldn't help but dream.

Royce made a safe landing onto the tower.....well if you call crashing into the guard knocking him out cold a safe landing. Brushing himself off he looked up and observed. It was shaped like an angel with wings with her hands in the middle of her chest. It looked like she was singing. Royce didn't know why it was shaped like that nor did he care. All he wanted was to take those pictures and get his money. The entrance was on the other side of the tower and locked with a key. "Heh. Good thing I knocked the guard out." He said to himself jingling some keys in the air. Unlocking the door he began the great ascend up the tower. "That's a long way up. I should make it before dawn....or before that fatass wakes up." He muttered. About halfway up the place he came across a very strange room. It was split into other small room and was filled with charts. One chart caught Royce's eye. It looked an age progressing chart with other science mumbo jumbo that he couldn't understand. The ages ranged from two to twenty-one. The small room on the right was like an operating room filled with medical tools, needles and all sorts of drugs. "Damn, what were they doing to this girl?" The left room was a photo developing room and what do you know, there were pictures of her.....undressing. "Looks like they were spying on her too. Guess Mark's not the only perv in Fortuna." Royce took a look at the photos as well. "Hmm.....pretty cute looking. She looks about my age. Maybe a little younger. I hope they don't mind I take these. Not for me of course. Still I should take some photos of her so Mark don't BS me." Royce stashed the photos into his pocket. "Alright enough messing around here. I still have half a tower to climb." With that in mind Royce left the strange room and continued up.

Sophia · Apr 9, 2013

Her head shot back to her bedroom door, always locked, from the sound of footsteps on the stairs. "Father..." quickly she shut the window, her father still under the illusion that her window was still locked. When she was a child her wishes to smell fresh air and get a better view of the city pushed her to break the lock and have the ability to open the stained class of the angle's eye. She hurried over to her desk, pushing all of her drawings into a messy stack and shoving them into the bottom drawer. Her heart raised as she sat down in her chair, it was that day in the week when her father would take her for examination, something she hated. It was painful, needles and samples taken from her. It seemed like a never ending life of tests done on her.

RyuJunkie · Apr 10, 2013

"Just.....just a few more flight of stairs." Royce got out. It seems like he was walking up those steps for hours and hours. Least he's getting a good work out. After another ten minuted he had reached the top, only to find out it just lead to the top of the tower. "Huh.....shouldn't the girls room be here, on the top? Well this is just fantastic. all this way up here and all it leads to is the top of the tower. Did I miss like a secret entrance? Well shit." Royce angrily said as he stomped the floor. Fortunately for him, the floor caved in and he landed right on top of the girls room and broke in through the roof landing right inside her room. "Ugh.......crap.....Gonna feel that in the morning." He groaned before regain his senses. He looked around the room and saw the girl from the pictures he found sitting in a chair. "Um.......hi."

Sophia · Apr 10, 2013

She heard the creak of the wood above her head, looking up to see what was causing it she saw Royce fall through and hit the floor. The sudden action caused a scream and for her to duck down under her desk. Hands gripping at the legs of the chair, soft hues looking at him through the back of the seat. "Are you one of the guards?" she asks softly tilting her head up a bit more to look around the seat, getting a better view of him she saw that he wasn't in the guards uniform and he looked too scroungy to be one. "You're not suppose to be up here..." her voice was at a whisper now, almost as if she didn't want someone to hear her, a finger pointing at him as the tip began to turn a soft pink. "Who are you?"

RyuJunkie · Apr 10, 2013

"Ugh.....the name's.....Royce." The boy replied with. He was still laying on the floor about a few minutes before brushing of pieces of wood, dust and other debree off his clothes before picking himself up from the floor. "You know it's rude to point." He told her as he got a good look at her. "Hmm......well the rumors aren't true. You're not some ugly creature. You're just, a girl.....very attractive one too." And my ticket to getting out of this place....well not her physically. He quickly got his camera and and aimed it at her. "You got a name?"

Sophia · Apr 11, 2013

"Sere..." she said quietly. Slowly she moved out from under the desk and approached him, "What's this?" she asks taking the camera from him, a finger accidentally pressing the flash, taking a picture of her face. The unexpected light and shutter sound caused her to squeak in surprise. Holding the camera up she looked through the hole and around the room. "Is it a type of telescope? If so its not very good." pushing the button once more she took a picture of whatever she had it aimed towards, not knowing of what she was doing she kept taking pictures of the room and possibly Royce. Walking over to the window she pointed the camera out and attempts to get a close up of the people bellow, "Are you one of them?"

RyuJunkie · Apr 12, 2013

"Sere? Strange name but OK." Royce replied with just before the girl got a hold of his camera. "Hey wait a second that's not a toy." He told her. However it was too late. As she began flashing the camera he tried to get it back from her. The shots in his face didn't help as it blinded him for a few seconds. Finally getting his sight back he snatched the camera out of her hands. "Damn.....still a few shots left." He told himself before looking at Sere. "First of all it's not a telescope. It's a camera. You use it to take picture of people and well......other things. Speaking of pictures I need a few of you. I would say get undressed but it seems I found a few of those. Man I can't believe you don't know what a camera is. Have you really been stuck up here your entire life?" Royce finally asked. Sure he had heard plenty of rumors about someone living in this tower but he didn't think they were real......until now.

Sophia · Apr 12, 2013

Gasping softly as he took the camera from her with a frown. "Camera? Undress?" she looks at him confused. Then her eyes went wide pointing a bright pink finger at him, "You're a sinner! Father told me about your kind! You're also a liar there are no such images of me!" slowly she back up into her door with a soft thud, wishing more than ever that it was unlocked. If he looked closely he could see a small spark start to form on the tip of her finger, "How did you even get in here?" she was in panic mode, normally she would have burned him to a crisp but with the medicine her father gave her she could barely give a spark.

RyuJunkie · Apr 13, 2013

"A sinner? Yeah so what? It's not like God is going to strike me with lightning." Royce said to her. He slowly started walking towards her. Bad idea, he could tell now she was in a panic. He also noticed something on the tip of her finger. Was that a spark he just saw? Royce's eyes widen. Does she have, powers or something? I guess that's why they locked her up here. He thought. His mood started to change towards her. "Whoa whoa take it easy. I'm not here to hurt you or nothing. I got in here well, from stealing the guards key down below. I just wanted to take a few pictures of you, for a friend that's it. Also, I can prove that these guys, whoever they are were taking pictures of you undressing." Royce calmly spoke to her. He reached into his pocket and took out one of the pictures he found and handed it too her. Last thing he needed was for her to get mad and kill him.

Sophia · Apr 14, 2013

Hesitantly a hand reached out and snatched the photo from his hand, glancing up at him a few times before looking over the image. Her eyes widened, cheeks staining red, "Th-This..." the area where her fingers gripped the picture began to turn brown and black. Looking around the room she couldn't tell where the photos would have been taken from. "How? Did you take these? Were you trying to get more?" she began to get angry and embarrassed that a man saw her naked form. Crumpling up the photo she threw it at him with a soft grunt of frustration.

RyuJunkie · Apr 14, 2013

"What. No how could I have taken these if my camera is right here, where you can see it." Royce replied with before get hit in the face with the crumbled up picture. "Well that's the only one I found." He lied to her. He had a couple more. "Whoever is keeping you up here must also be a sick perv. I'm sure there's a hidden camera in here some where." He told her. To prove it to her he decided to search around the room for the camera. It had to be placed somewhere around here. "Look, I'm sorry I saw you....naked....picture wise that is. Would it make you feel better if I told you you had a great looking body?" He asked her as he continued to search. He went over to a small bookcase moving books around and checking for any false books.

Sophia · Apr 16, 2013

"You shouldn't have seen it!" her arms covered over her body as if she weren't wearing clothes, she felt vulnerable now, as she watched him. "What are you doing? Those are my books." she asks stepping closer to get a better look at what he was doing, the books seemed older than see was. Though they were kept in good condition but the ones on the top shelf did seem a bit out of place, she hadn't had a chance to read those yet. She wasn't one who was an avid reader, her mind to distracted for it. "Are you going to take my books? Take my image and my things?"

RyuJunkie · Apr 17, 2013

"Ugh....no I'm not taking your damn books. The pictures you took of yourself with my camera I'm taking though. It's my ticket to getting out of this floating hell." Royce replied with. There was nothing on the bookshelves. About ready to give up he noticed something odd and the other side of the room. It looked like a hidden compartment in the wall complete with a tiny little hole. He walked over to it and tried to get it open. "Hmm.....it's a little loose.....let me see there....almost got in.....there we go. Told you someone was spying on you." Royce spoke again. He opened the secret compartment to revel a hidden camera. "They were using this camera to take those pictures of you. Not me. Why do they have you locked up in this tower anyway?"

Sophia · Apr 24, 2013

"Getting out of here? The City? But its so lovely, I've never been out-" her words went silent as the pulled the panel away, slowly stepping toward the hidden camera. An expression of confusion and hurt came over her face as she stepped in front of the camera to examine it, "How could father allow this?" she whispered to herself as her fingers moved over the camera. Her attention was brought back at his question, her body tensed as she straightened, "The tower? I'm not allowed to talk about it." giving a quick shake of her head as she turned to face him, "Father says I shouldn't talk about my sins."

RyuJunkie · Apr 24, 2013

"Your sins? What sins have you committed? You've been locked in this tower your entire life. What could have you done?" Royce asked. Ripping the camera from its place he threw it to the floor to which it was broken into a few pieces. "Well now they can't spy on you. Hope you didn't do anything too private in here. I think you know what I mean. All men and woman try it at least once when they hit that certain age." He told her. "Well to change the subject. Why can't you talk about it? What they're doing to you is inhuman. I saw those experimental room on my way up here. They have no right poking a prodding at you. You're not an animal, but they sure treat you like one, locking you up in here. Don't you want to get out of here?"

Sophia · Apr 24, 2013

Giving a squeak of surprise as the camera hit the floor, "Private?" she asks prodding a few piecing of the camera with a toe of her bare foot, "I don't understand and I don't think I want to." A frown pulled at her lips at the mention of the rooms, "Those are for my treatment. To make me better and normal." mumbling her words as she walks back to the window, watching people walk around, children play, the very faint laughter of people enjoying themselves. "Of course I want to leave but no one likes sinners. Father says my sin is having the devil in me, things shouldn't catch on fire. He's making me better." repeating what she said before and becoming quiet for a moment, her head shot towards her doorway as she began to hear foot steps on the stairway, her eyes becoming wide. "He's coming."

RyuJunkie · Apr 25, 2013

"Oh shit." Royce whispered to himself. "Gotta gotta hide." He said as he looked around the room. The room was too small, not good hiding places what so ever. There was however that hole in the ceiling. If he could get back up there he could find someplace to hind in there. He quickly grabbed the chair and used it as a step ladder to pull himself up into the hole. "I'll be back once the coast is clear." He told Sere before disappearing like a ninja.

"What do you mean he knocked you out?" Gerald asked. Upon making his daily visits to see his daughter. For this visit was a more serious one and was to be his last. He was also carrying a needle with him filled with some sort of green liquid and it had a small skull symbol. Gerald found the guard unconscious and the door to the tower open. It looked like they had an intruder.

"I-I'm sorry sir. The kid caught me o-off guard." The guard replied with before they entered Sere's room.

"What's going on in here?! Why is your room a mess?!" Gerald asked his daughter in a mencing tone.

Sophia · Apr 25, 2013

Looking up to where his face once was she gasps as her head shot back towards her door, her father and the guard now standing in the doorway, "Father! I uh... I... The wood is rotting!" she exclaimed pointing up at the ceiling. Her eyes glanced down to the syringe in her father's hand. It was that time of the month were he gave her 'medicine', her hand clasped over her forearm where the shot was usually given. "I swear I didn't do it this time. I haven't used my powers in three months."
