Fairies and Sabers

Chapter 1

Mika's P.O.V.

I was running away from the burning town that used to be my home. The town's name was Rosewood, known for it's many flowers and nice people. I was orphaned at first but a rich couple took me in, I was happy at first but then my father's wife started to abuse me because the towns people liked me more and I actually got father's attention. She's a wicked woman only seeking power, I may never know how they met or even got married. Anyways, I got tired of that life and decided to leave. I don't know where things went wrong...

- Flashback this morning -

I was in my room as usual, just sitting there drawing one of my favorite flowers,a rose. They're beautiful,soft and gentle. Just like me, as the people in the town say. I heard a knock and a maid came in " Lady Noelle ( A/N: her real name ) breakfast is ready. Your parents would also like too see you"I nodded " thank you for informing me". I went to my closet too see what outfit would fit best for this occasion. I saw a white knee length dress with no straps and decided to wear that one with a pair of matching flats. I made my way down the stairs down to the hallway then past the living room and found the door to the dining room. I took a deep breathe and knocked " Enter " I opened the door to reveal my 'mother' and 'father' sitting at the long table just chatting. I stepped in and walked to my seat at the end, it was silent for a bit then my father said " Noelle I am happy too see you're here. Me and your mother were talking and we decided that you are to marry at the age of 18, to the son of a good friend and business partner of mine. I expect you to be on your best behavior "I nodded and then my mother spoke " For God's sake you have a mouth don't you? When someone is speaking to you. You speak back. Are we clear " Yes mother. And I will father "She nodded and started eating.Later my father did too and so did I. We ate in silence and when I was finished I stood up bowed and went to my room ' Marriage? Are you kidding me. Obviously she brought the idea up. She would be so happy to get rid of me ' Father is nice but mother always hated me. I don't know why but she did. Is it because people always complimented me and need say a word too her? Well I wouldn't blame them. She is a vicious woman who is power hungry and wants nothing but to be on top,and will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Father on the other hand is a generous, happy- go- lucky man. I don't know how they met and why they got married but I will not tolerate this any longer. I'll escape tonight. I don't care anymore

- Later at night -
The mansion was quiet. Father and mother were in their room, the rest of the staff were done for the day and went home, the only people here were the guards outside and some inside ' Sayonara everyone ' I opened my closet and took my small bag that I had ready, I changed into a different dress and wrapped my rope around the knob of my closet and threw it down. While climbing down I see that the town was burning ' What? How can that be?? ' Since the mansion sas a bit further away from the village they probably weren't alerted. I got to the ground and ran through the garden to the part of the wall that was short and jumped it. I ran into the forest. Never looking back

- End of flashback -

That's how I ended up here. 'I'm tired maybe I should lay down' I thought. Just as I was about to do so I heard crying. I walkes into the direction it was coming from and saw a girl with shoulder length midnight blue hair with sky blue tips, she had a light purple sun dress on and it was all ripped and she was barefoot" Hey, why are you crying?" The girl stopped and looked up at me and spoke in a soft voice" My hometown was destroyed and now I'm all alone " she kept sniffing "Hey, you can travel with me, I promise we'll find shelter " She looked up and nodded " I'm Scarlet. What's your name? " My name " i thought for a while " My name is Mika" I said smiling 'Mika.. Hmm its cute. Its decided, my new name is Mika ' " Mika, that's a very pretty name " Thank you Scarlet. I love your hair " She twirled a piece of it " Thank you " I held out my hand for her " Come on, it's dark and I promised shelter " She took it and we kept walking deeper in the forest, into the unknown.
