Lily didn't know how she managed to escape all she knew was she had to run. Run far and run as fast as her stubby five year old legs could go. It was dark out and she felt the cool wind tearing through her long, tangled brown hair. She was terrified and in pain from all the cuts and scrapes she got from crashing through bushes and trees. She kept running until she found a dimly lit park and decided to hide in the playground.
"..."
"... hey wake up..."
She snapped awake to the feeling of being shaken violently. She looked around and found herself to be in the middle of a group of boys, none of them looking friendly. One of the boys, bigger than the rest and clearly the leader, then pulled her up by her hair until she was eye level with him. "What are you doing on our turf you little brat?" he looked really pissed off as he yelled at her. An involuntary shudder ran through her small body. She wanted to tell him to put her down but as soon as she opened her mouth the only thing that came out was a high pitched computer-like wail. The boy threw her down and yelled at her to shut up. She felt the hot sticky tears start to fall down her face.
"Hey! What are you doing over there?" A deep voice cut through the group of kids. Lily didn't look up because she was to afraid of the older boy who now had his foot on her leg intent on curb stomping it in half. Suddenly she felt the weight being pulled off of her and looked up to see a very tall.... Pile of fire with legs?. He tossed the bully behind him like he weighed as much as two grapes and reached down to her.
Another involuntary shudder ripped through her body as she scooted away from him. Upon seeing this he gently sighed and crouched down to look less intimidating and reached out to her again. "Don't worry little one, I won't harm you." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. She look up at him now a little less afraid and saw that he was indeed a tall man made of cyan fire who somehow wasn't burning his clothes.

(Art not mine!)He noticed she was less afraid of him and started to take in her appearance

He noticed she was less afraid of him and started to take in her appearance. The first thing he saw was a name plate that seemed to be screwed into her left arm. Going down from there he noticed all the cuts and scrapes that littered her arms and legs. Looking up to her face he noticed more small scratches on her cheeks and a big gash on the bridge of her nose. He noticed the oily tears falling from her two different looking eyes one being a minty green the other being solid white much like his children's.

(I can't draw lol have this crappy edit)
He looked and saw that she was shivering either from the cold from fear or both. "My name is Solazar, what's your name little one?"She looked at him and said "I'm Lily." He look surprised that she actually responded to him. "Alright Lily how old are you?" The child shakily held up five fingers."Do you have anywhere to stay?" He asked still in a whisper like voice. She shook her head in response."I can't believe I'm doing this" he thought knowing once again his compassion beat out his normal warlike instincts."Well then would you like to come home with me, I can take care of those cuts give you a bath and new clothes, and I have two children who are about the same age as you." She looked at him quizzically and asked "you want someone like me?" She then started to shake and change, some of her sandy colored skin turning a bright shade of purple and her small fingers sharpening into claws. He looked in surprise but then calmed down and gently took one of her small hands in one of his massive ones. "Yes little one I want to help you." She started to calm down and revert back into her original form. She reached out to him and said "ok Mr. Solazar I'll go with you." Her eyes lighting up with an emotion she hasn't felt in a long time, HOPE.
