" What are you doing here , little?

Those were the first words of a man whom I thought of like my father. He always sat at the end of a great furnace, and discuss how I was found by him. As I listened to these stories, often I wondered what  were like my real parents and why did they leave me? 

" You see it was a long time ago. Exactly 14 years ago, to be precise. It was a huge cold outside and I was returning home, but in the front door I heard so many plot that I did not know what was going on. When I approached the gate ,  in front of them ,  was a small cradle with a small human baby ,  who immediately caught my eye. It was you , Linda.

So, I'm Linda , and I am in family with demons. One of the demons from which I was adopted as his daughter , he offered me education and a place to call it home. I'm 14 year old now, but my father is about 200 years old. But he didn't change a bit since I was with him. Demons are so scary , that was the first think that I had when I grow up a little and can understood some things by myself. But things changed bit by bit , day by day , year by year ... I started to play with them and I really had fun , because I didn't had any human friends , demons were my only friends. Father's secret was that when he no matter what touch , even something alive ,  that would be destroy by him. From that day , when I got to know that I keep on going to garden , and every time I go to see my father I would bring him a flower. But every time, the same things happend. The flower would just disappear. 

" Can I take Miss Linda , to garden , sir? " always my friend half - demon Diego would ask my father to take me to a little lake where I would always play. 

" Oh , Linda , would you like to go? " as expected he would ask this question, and I ,  I'd be smiling and when he finish I would finally shouted of happines. 

" Yes , please father. "

While I and Diego walked a long path to the river, I would  often ran ahead of him to arrive fast and soon. Whenever I was on this lake I would admired look t all the beauty of nature. That day I brought the father's ball with which I used to play near the lake. Diego went to gather some fruit in the woods and I was left alone. I have conceived the game when something rustling from the bushes. I turned around to see what it were,  but ball slipped out of my hand and rolled  right toward the lake. I ran after her but she just sank. I thought it was not deep so I went to find her. I took off my clothes and left in on the coast and headed to the lake. I was looking for it , but did not find it. Suddenly, something lit up in the water and I started to walk see what it is. The water on that place was too deep for me , and with a view that I did not know how to swim , I started sinking. 

I thought in my mind that I would never see again my father, Diego, other demons ... Everything was black. I held out my hand and watched sun through the water, the sun's rays hit in the face. Next momment I saw someone who caught me by my hand , and pull me on the water surface. 

" Miss Linda??? Are you OK?

Who is he? Why did he saved me from suffocation in water? He is so warm , I cant belive I'm alive. I heard Diego's voice in the distance. 

" Miss Linda!! Sir Adrian!! WHAT HAPPEND THERE??

Oh , so his name is Adrian. What a beautiful name he has there.... I passed ...
