The boy and I left the butcher's shop and set off. The boy didn't seem to be very talkative and since I didn't feel like talking to him either, we didn't exchange many words, we just set off.
We continued walking for a long time until we found a group of young people. Among them there was one dressed in a yellow tracksuit and false gold chains, in short, a total tacky, and especially here, where everyone seems to have stuck in time.
When he saw us, or more precisely the boy next to me, he quickly approached us.
"Fuck, Dylan! Where had you gone?" – said the tacky boy.
"I was doing things for my old man, Worm" - Dylan said somewhat annoyed.
Now they're insulting each other? Is it street slang or something?
Seeing that i looked at him strangely, Dylan sighed.
"It's his stage name" - Dylan said.
"I see..." – I said.
"That's right, we're the coolest rap duo in Wales! I'm the Master of Ceremonies Worm and this is Sturgeon Surgeon, also known as Master of Ceremonies Dirty Dylan, also known as the Master of Ceremonies Dirty Affairs, the number one vocal percussionist in Cairnholm, Do you want to show this Yankee how we do it, D the Dirty?" – said Worm as if it were something normal.
Oh my God, what stupid names, seriously, don't their parents educate them to stop talking this kind of nonsense?
"Now?" – Dylan asked quite irritated.
"Fuck, of course, come on, let go a few beats, man!" - Worm nodded.
Despite being extremely irritated, Dirty D, whom we will now call simply "Dirty", began what I thought in musical terms was "Setting the Beat", however, it didn't seem so at all.
And then Worm started rapping, however, his rap was so bad that I wanted to vomit, don't these guys know what rhymes are? I've seen rappers who would leave these useless people in diapers! And I don't mean professionals, how do I know? In my previous life, before becoming an entrepreneur, I met many people... in short, it is a story that is not worth knowing.
After singing what they thought was a rap, they asked me about it.
"What do you think, Yankee?" - asked Gusano.
To begin with, you should call me with more respect and by my name, since I am neither your friend nor do I know you.
That's what I would have told him, but I need these two scumbags to take me to the orphanage, so I'll just keep them happy, enough so they don't get angry and take me to my destination.
"I think I like another kind of music better" – I said simply.
"Bah, this guy wouldn't recognize good music even if he got kicked in the balls!" – Worm said.
Holding back my desire to slap his ugly face, we continued walking in the direction of the orphanage, however, as we got closer, the fog began to appear, fog that, by the way, became thicker and thicker.
And for some reason I can't understand, the stupid people next to me came forward and I got lost.
"This way, Yankee!" - said Gusano.
Breathe in and out, don't worry, Jacob, you only need them once, then I'll memorize the way and I won't need their help anymore.
I calmed down and followed them for a long time until we reached what appeared to be a small hill.
"It's down there" – said the Dirty One.
"Are you serious?" – I asked somewhat skeptically.
"Is this road too dirty for a snob like you?" - asked Worm sarcastically.
Maybe it is for your mother... But I didn't say it. I restrained myself.
"I say this because there is no road, it is all field" – I said.
There was only field, there was no road to indicate that it was here, not even a sign or anything to show me the way.
"Why would It had been a road there if no one goes?" – said the Dirty One as if it were obvious.
Anyway, and since I had no idea if I was telling the truth or not, I went slowly down the hill. Nut when I went all the way down, my feet sank into the mud, thank goodness I put on my wellies before going down.
"Hahaha, literally covered in shit!" – Worm laughed.
"Does it smell good, Yankee?" - asked the Dirty One.
It smells just like your mother when she gets fucked in the dump. Nut I restrained myself once again, thus avoiding a fight that would clearly have been disadvantageous to me, not because I couldn't beat them, that I would do easily, but because of what my father would say later.
"Haha, you are very funny, can you tell me now where the damn orphanage is?" – I said holding back my anger.
"Just go straight, you're on the right track!" – said Dirty.
"That's right and good luck there Yankee, we'll leave!" – said Worm.
Yes, you better go fuck somewhere else, you pair of brainless fools.
Without even saying goodbye, I began to walk straight as I was told.
Once I got out of the mud, I used my peculiarity to get the shit off my wellies and get that stench off and then I kept walking.
Although they were assholes, Worm and Dirty were right, I was going in the right direction because not many minutes after starting to walk, I came across what seemed to be a haunted mansion.
It might have been majestic and clean in the past, with children playing here and there, but now it was the opposite It was completely destroyed, the roof was the only thing that was half preserved, but it didn't seem very safe to go in either. As far as the façade was concerned... It was a fucking disaster, it looked like it had been burned because it was completely black, all the glass seemed to be completely broken, the front door was made of wood, which by a divine miracle barely survived, but it seemed that just by touching it it would collapse or turn to dust. There were also numerous vines that had grown throughout the mansion, as if they were tying it up.
As for where I was right now... It was also a fucking disaster, maybe years ago this was a paradise, with a well-kept lawn and even nice statues, but right now it was the opposite. The grass was so poorly maintained and so long that it reached almost knee height and there were pieces of what seemed to be stone scattered on the ground.
"I don't know how those Hollywood people haven't already discovered this place, they could have made numerous horror movies here" – I said as I walked towards the door.
I didn't have many memories of the events of the movie, but among those few memories, there were interesting things. For example I know that Jacob first encountered the peculiars in this place, just when he was touring the ruined house or the orphanage, call it what you want. Now they are just pure rubble, however, I don't remember how it happened or how he persuaded them to take him to Miss Peregrine. I only vaguely remember something about a blow or a knife, but nothing more.
"Well, there's no time to lose, let's go in" – I said to myself.
I approached the front door and tried to open it, I seriously thought it was going to be easy because it seemed quite fragile, but surprisingly I couldn't open it, it's as if it was locked.
"Fuck, it's so hard!" – I said frowning.
Perhaps the previous Jacob would have been looking for another entrance to pass through, but I... I'm not quite Jacob, so I kicked the door breaking it completely and leaving a huge hole for me to get through, what's rude to do that? I honestly don't know who can care that I broke down the door, the residents live in another time and the people who live here don't even want to come close either out of fear or something else, so I don't think anyone will complain that I broke a door.
Anyway, the door was hard and a normal person couldn't have broken it, but thanks to the physical training I underwent for weeks, I was able to break it very easily.
"Well, now let's tour the mansion, let's see if I can meet the peculiars today" – I said to myself.
I entered the orphanage, but just when I did, I swallowed hard. If on the outside it was a mess, on the inside it was not much better, everything was completely destroyed and not only that, but the darkness that ran through the whole place, together with the bad weather and the fog that was already there, made this place seem like a house of terror. In fact, if it weren't for my straightening, I would have already run out of here. Applausea to the previous Jacob for not running away as soon as he entered, there he deserves my respects.
"I don't think staying at the entrance is a very good idea, I don't know when the peculiar ones will appear, so in the meantime I'll explore this place" – I said as I went into the darkness.
Years ago this place was beautiful, surely everything was very colorful, the walls would be well painted and even meetings could be held here, but now everything seems worn by time and burned because there were clearly burn marks everywhere, walls, floors, tables that for some reason were still standing.
Now I was in a kind of living room and I must admit that when this was standing it must have been very beautiful because the decoration was not all bad, but now it was a complete disaster, in fact, I remember exactly how the orphanage looked in the movie, that's something I remember, how curious.
I continued exploring the orphanage and found numerous rooms, some of them seemed to be libraries because I could see remains of the cover of a book lying in a corner, I also found a small box with old and gnawed toys that had not been very punished by the fire, but they were dirty and worn.
"Curious, I'm going to like to see this when it wasn't destroyed yet" – I said while looking at a small teddy bear.
