The sun was setting over the horizon, and in the sky the strange clouds gathering reflected all the colors of the sunset. It seemed as if it got darker and darker by the minute. As she was walking from school she again was in her own world, while everyone thought she was spacing out all the time, she in her head explored the other worlds. The places she imagined where people wouldn't judge her, where people could understand her and even better where she could be herself, without any masks. The backpack on her back was heavy and she had to adjust it again. She felt weak, exhausted, and no one knew how much she wished to learn to be stronger, not that she wasn't strong. But she wanted more, to be give an an opportunity to learn more martial arts, to be in a fight, any kind of an adventure. She always thought she was born in the wrong era, and probably the wrong sex, she wanted to get into fight, protect the weak. But no, she was a mostly A student and has given up on fencing over 2 years ago, of course it wasn't by choice.

She stopped in the middle of the bridge like she usually does to stare down at the water as she leaned over the rail it started raining and a huge gust of wind knocked her balance off and she fell over into the river, the dirty water swallowed her up pulling her down. The next thing she remembered was waking up all wet on the bank of the river. She walked up the side of the river and found her backpack. She had to take her clothes off and take everything in the back pack out and dry it. She felt uncomfortable being naked, but she felt so free, even though she was hiding in the bushes just in case. She thought for sure her cigarettes were ruined, but luckily they didn't get too wet, her smoking habit wasn't known among many people she hang out with. Then she was sure that she couldn't be more than a few miles from home, but she was wrong, again, and later on again.

By the time she got dry the night had already overtaken the day. She made a fire, she sure was glad she had her lighter on her, Ha! and people say smoking is bad she thought, cause she wouldn't of had the lighter if she didn't smoke. Then she went to bed very hungry. In the morning she decided to walk to the opposite way of where the sun was rising and after 2 hours of walking she finally got out of the forest. She saw people on horses and carriages and got all exited but they seemed to be terrified of her. When she started talking to them asking where she was they called her a devil from the Dark Forest, she laughed, because she thought it was hilarious but they found it even more terrifying. Then a fat man came out of the carriage with a whip and started whipping people left and right. She definitely needed a cigarette at this time so she pulled out her Marlboro Reds and light up a cigarette, and then the fat man just freaked out saying in that she was a demon and she breathes smoke and make fire come out of her hand. She really didn't like him, so she spoke back. She thought this whole situation was comical and he was definitely the bad guy so she said "I am a demon called here by the devil, and I am here to punish you....." he didn't let her finish starting to weep and cry like a little baby confessing the horrible things he did and begging for forgiveness so she continued "No I must punish you, unless you can give me something more valuable than your soul¦" he started saying she could have anything she wanted. " So she said that she'll take everything he has in the closest city she knew he was rich but not how rich. Then she said "I hope you don't go far away and become good because then you'll be protected by god, but no one can protect you as long as you are at least 3 towns of distance close to me" so he just started to run as fast as his stubby legs could take him saying I can have it all and "Be gone you demon"

She just laughed until she realized that this was definitely not her territory she never been to Kansas but this place was not in the world she knew. The nature and trees were at first the same, but the animals and the way people were treated is defiantly something out of her world. She got to travel and lived in America, Russia, Japan and Middle East, and this place was definitely nothing she has seen or even heard of before. The slaves were afraid of her, but she had no intention to scare them. She was kind to them and asked to show her to the place she shall live in now. When they opened the door into the carriage she refused to get in, and sat by the side of the guy who was driving(the horses). She asked many questions which made everyone more suspicious of her, she hoped they wouldn't lynch her before she got to explain herself. When she got to the town it was completely different, there were slave traders everywhere and creatures she has never seen before. That's when she first met Lucile. A 7 year old girl with pointy ears leaped out of nowhere and landed in front of our carriage, I quickly jumped of to help her back to her feet when I noticed it was no normal girl. It was a real life elf. Yes an elf, but she wasn't how our"Demon" pictured elf's, she was in rags, dirty, and had the eyes of an animal. The elf jumped at and bit her, sinking her little fangs into the white skin and instantly drawing blood. "Demon" felt the pain but it didn't matter, all she wanted is to be closer to this creature, so our "Demon" embraced the little elf in her arms, lifting her up and sitting her on her lap. That's when the Dope came, a huge clumsy looking man with a stick swearing at my little elf and swinging a whip in the air. Yep I was already thinking of her as my little elf she reminded me a lot of a poor child I saw on the streets of Chicago, in rags, our "Demon" wanted to help that child too but she was only 12 and late getting home, so she walked past a child in need, it was still on her conscious.
"I'd rather kill you that sell you, even to an enemy I would not wish such a burden like you" he screamed in rage, she only lifted her head and looked at him with those poised eyes, she was about to pounce him when the "Demon"held her closer and she seemed at a loss.
"I'll take her" she said to him
"Lady, I don't know who you are, but you don't deserve such a punishment"
"Shut up!" she was really getting frustrated, you know, those weren't the best days of her life! She looked at the slaves that were mine and said "How much money do I have?"
"A lot madam" the guy she sat next to answered
"How much does she cost?" she asked the Dope
"Huh! I told you I am going to kill her or torture her, look what she did to my arm!" he pulled up his slave and showed numerous bite marks
"Hey I am your master now! Right?" she asked the slaves
"Yes Madam" they said with a bit of fear in their voices
"Did anyone ever talk to your master like this man is talking to me?
"Never"
"What would your old master do if such a thing happened"
They all got quite, "he would hurt him, or kill him we think" one of them spoke out, the young girl with reddish hair and dimples. Turning to the Dope: "This elf is your responsibility, I am rich and I can take everything from you when I bring it up (she really didn't know who or if you could bring it up to) that she bit me and made me bleed, see all these people they are my slaves and this carriage too(she thought at least), they will tell the judge(I hope they have judges here she thought) the elf attacked me and you were behind it. I wonder what will happen then?"
"Shut up you little bitch, you are lying" he said
The slaves were raffled. "Stop Ser" the young red haired girl screamed "This is our mistress now, Krent left everything he owned in this city to her, and if you do anything rash you might pay greatly for it later" she paused and whispered to him "she is new here so she still doesn't know what power Krent's money hold in this city" finally something clicked in that stupid head of his .
"Keep the darn elf, and it's a punishment you deserve"
She took the little girl and with ease lifted her up into the carriage.
"What if you name?" madam asked
With anger in her eyes she whispered "Lucile"
"Oh what a wonderful name Lucile, Lucile" she picked her up and twirled her around, the little girl was at a loss, while all the slaves were shocked and kept whispering amongst themselves.
"Well Lucile my name is Miki"
"Wakarimasen anatono bakana hanashi" replied Lucile
(Idont understand your stupid talk)
"Ha, Ha, Ha" Miki replied kindly : Watashino kotoba wa futsuno nigen no hanashi dayo" the elf spoke in Japanese and Miki awnsered her clearly explaining that she wasn't speaking in a strange tong.
"Doyate watashino katoba ga wakaru?" (how do you know my language)
"Chotto ne, jibundemo wakaranain desu kedo. Maa, Nanto naku wakaru kara, iin janai?"(Well I don't really know myself, But somehow I can understan isn't that good?)
"Naze? Ningentachi wa mina baka, watashitachino kotoba ga wakaranai"(why? all humans are stupid, they don't understand me)
"Ne watashi, ne himitsu ga aru, kedo himitsu dakara anatami ni oshienai"( well I have a secret but because it's secret I can't tell it to you)
"Onechan ne watashi Ruzu ga yonde kudasai" (Big sis call me Ruzu)
"Hajimimashite Ruzu, watashi wa Miki desu"(Nice to meet you RiZu I am Miki)
"Miki, ga watashino masuteru desu ka?" (Are you my master)
"Ne kono koto nai dayo watashiwa anatano tomodashi dake naritai" (Mah I am your friend)
"Majis ka"(Seriously?)
"Maji dayo, soro soro, ikimasho ka"(Yea, let's go)
"Doko"(where?)
"Watashitacchino atarashi no iee ni"(our new home)
So their friendship was formed, but many difficulties lied ahead, if Miki was ever going to be accepted by anyone other than a seven year old elf, is still unknown.
When Ruzu and Miki got home they were both shocked, the place was huge, it was like a mansion bigger than the white house. The man who lived here was really rich. When they arrived at the gates three beautiful women in a lot of oriental style clothing, with lots of makeup, lined up in front of the carriage and bowed. Mike jumped out of the carriage helping Ruzu out. The women were in shock. They stud up and started angrily talking amongst each other and then looking up at Mike.
"Who are you? Where is our master?"
Miki smiled and scratching behind her head said: "Well actually I am you master now, it's kind of a long funny story, who are you?"
"We are the ones who provide happiness and entertainment to our master at night" they seemed puzzled, by now serving a woman.
"Well, Um I really don't need night entertainment" she was blushing, she lied.
"What are we to do now, how could our master do this to us?" one of them let out a scream.....
