   ' Ow...my head hurts. '

I opened my eyes and sat up in my bed and looked around. Instantly I knew it wasn't my room. I felt myself start to get nervous. My hands were shaking and I felt pale.

   ' Let's just get up and leave. I don't know who these people are, so let's just go. '

I moved the sheets from on top of me and swung my feet over the side of the bed and stood up. I looked down and saw that I was in an elegant dress with some flat shoes. I walked to the door of the bedroom. I silently and slowly started to open the door. The hallway was so elegant. Everything looked expensive and gorgeous. I walked into the hallway and shut the door. I walked down the hallway and towards what looked like a set of stairs. As I walked to the stairs I noticed another figure was coming down the other hallway. It was a boy. He looked my age, maybe a year older, and he was taller than me. He had blue hair and deep blue eyes. He starred at me as we stood above the stairs. I glanced at the door leading outside and back to the boy. I started running down the stairs and towards the door. 

   " Hey, stop! "

I continued to run until I was grabbed from behind and brought into someone's chest. They held me firmly there.

   " Stop! Let me go! "

   " Please let me explain! "

   " What is going on here!? "

I turned my head towards the yelling and saw a man starring at the boy and me. The boy didn't let go of me but he stared at his father.

   " Father she was running off and-"

   " That's no excuse to grab a lady Jonathan. Let her go. "

He slowly let go of me and I stood close to the door ready to run. The man walked up to me and crouched to my level.

   " Please calm down Miss. We are not going to hurt you. Now, what's your name? "

   " F/n L/n. "

   " Do you remember your parents? "

   " No. "

   " Okay, until someone reports a child missing you will stay here with us in the Joestar mansion. "

   " Joestar? "

   " Yes. I am George Joestar and this is my son Jonathan Joestar. " He said gesturing to the boy.

I nodded and he asked us both to get along and then left us. I stood at the door and let go of the handle. I walked up to the little boy and tapped his shoulder. He looked up at me.

   " I'm sorry. I didn't know where I was and it scared me. "

   " It's alright. I'm sorry for yelling. "

   " Apology accepted. Let's start over. "

   " I would like that. "

He stood up straighter and held his hand out to me. I put my hand in his and he shook it gently.

   " My name is Jonathan Joestar. What might yours be? "

   " F/n L/n but you can just call me Y/n. "

   " You can call me JoJo. "

   " JoJo? That's a fun name. "

   " It is. Would you like to go on a walk with me? "

   " Sure. I would be delighted. "

He opened the front doors and gestured for me to walk out first. I thanked him and walked out of the mansion. We started walking along the property line and then found a tree behind the property that was perfectly angled to the sun and the river. We sat down against the tree and watched the sun.

   " How long was I asleep? "

   " You were asleep for at least a day and a half to my knowledge. I found you floating in the river. Your dress was caught under a rock so the current didn't take you away. "

   " Oh, I see. Thank you for saving me. "

   " It's what a real gentleman would do. "

   " I guess so. "

   " You know we both have the most interesting birthmarks. "

   " Really? Where is yours, JoJo?"

   " Mine is on the back of my left shoulder right below the curve of my neck. It's in the shape of a star. "

   " That's so cool! "

   " Yeah, and the maids said you have almost the same exact birthmark. They said yours is in the same spot as mine and its also a star but the only difference is that yours has a JP on it. We don't know what it stands for. "

   " Maybe it stands for Joestar Protector. "

   " I think I can protect myself. "

   " I know but maybe we can just stick with each other? "

   " I would like that. "

We linked our pinkies and then hands. I smiled out our handshake. He smiled.

   ' I'll stick with you until I die Jonathan. '
