Chapter 2

"Hey Jacob, why the f*ck did you bring a stray?! And what's with this kid? Traveling in the middle of a snowstorm with nothing on him."

"Oh shut up, will ya? I just got back from town. I'm freezing. Could you at least, warm the bath for me before you go blabbering away!"

"You've been going to town every day this past few days since you brought this stray here! Leaving me with this useless comatose is already hard work, y'know!"

"You sure you won't prepare a bath for me? I guess it's fine. You, licking me later would be enough for a bath" after saying that. Jacob can't help smirking at his wife.

~And who says you can't win an argument with a woman.

Hearing the self-proclaimed husband, Meridith decided not to comment. And just went to their bathroom. Pick a bucket. Went back to their room. Look at Jacob with a beautiful smile on her face.

And just as Jacob is wondering what's up with her bringing an empty bucket. He almost went to meet his ancestors in heaven.

Almost smashing her so-called husband in the head. The useless idiot evaded it just a few inches away.

A few moments of deathly silence…

"Tsk, almost got my freedom."

"What the f*ck was that?! Are you trying to kill me woman?!"

In his rage, raising his hands ready to punch his wife to visit her own ancestors. He heard rustling where the boy was sleeping.

Sighing… He just looks at his wife and went to the bathroom. As he pass at Meridith, he didn't forget to mutter, "This isn't over."

Shrugging, Meridith just went to see if the stray was finally awake.

Having a nightmare. Nemitz woke up sweating. His fear of dying gripping his heart. And it's pounding on his chest is all he could hear. Feeling the futon under him. He relaxes a little. Feeling that he was back at the ship.

"Hey!"

Hearing a sudden voice beside him. Jumping in fright. He almost can't believe what he's seeing. A beautiful woman was in front of him. A red hair with a cute nose, red eyes, and white skin.

"Who…who are you? Why are you here?"

"This is where I live you brat!"

Whispering… "At least til I kill that f*cker."

Not hearing the last line the red head was saying,

"What? What do you…" before he could finish his say… Nemitz finally realized that he wasn't back on his ship. He wasn't even sure if his "dream lost in a snow land" was just a nightmare or in fact his new reality.

Looking around, he surmised that he's in an old wooden house.

"So you finish daydreaming rat?"

Looking at the woman degrading him.

~What's up with her… wait a minute, did she save me?

Looking at her again. Nemitz got to think that maybe this is it. The starting point of his protagonist adventure, or whatever this is.

He was excited and nervous at the same time. Haven't talked to a girl since high school. He's college life was with sweaty perverted guys. And his career life just upgraded to working with sweaty perverted old men.

~Ok, ok, what do I say in this kind of situation… uhmm??? Shit. I'm an idiot. I still haven't thanked her for saving me.

"Uhm…, thank you so much for saving me! I owe you my life!"

Observing another idiot, daydreaming and having a blank look a few moments and thanking her all of a sudden. Meredith is already having a headache.

~Another man that thinks with his dick in their pants. Disgusting.

"Whatever. You owe me big time. But I ain't the one who brought you here in this hellhole. And what's with you traveling in the middle of that without even proper gear. Ridiculous."

With a blank look. Not having expected that. Nemitz could only whisper, "Sorry…"

~What does she mean in this hellhole?
