I was sitting in a dark alley, crying. I heard the clop of horse's hooves against the cobblestone street. A carriage came to stop in front of the alley. 'Oh god. Please don't let it be them...' I thought to myself. I buried my face in my knees and started shaking. "No need to be afraid..." A voice called. I looked up and saw man in a suit with black hair and eyes that were as red as wine. He held his hand out and I took it. He helped me up and then it hit me. "You're a demon, aren't you?" I asked in a low voice. He quickly pulled me towards the carriage and gently pushed me in. A young boy with blue hair and an eyepatch looked at me.
"Sebastian. Why did you bring this girl here?" The boy asked. "She knows..." The man said. "I guess we have no choice but to take her in, then..." The boy said with a sigh. "What's your name?" The man asked me. "I'm Lilliana Winterforge." I answered.
