Love at First Night

Flashback

I didn't see it but I heard it from Mrs. Anna's son Fallacy in France. I was only 10 and I didn't know what to do, my parents are dead and I don't know how or why. Mrs. Anna had said that they must leave since the contract had "expired," which I didn't understand what that meant. The next day Fallacy and Mrs. Anna where gone; my best friend and my second mom to me, left without a trace. I was alone, scared, and confused. I tried to manage by doing dirty work for others but it was only enough to get me a ride to a town about 70 miles from where I used to live. I moved into a small house with the remaining coins I had and tried to get a job at a sword shop. Only 11 I was living a successful life and was doing the best I could to live. The towns people told me stories of the forests, and there were "other" beings than us. So I believed them but still continued living with my new friends. Then one day, everything went down hill. First my house caught on fire while I was at the sword shop and only had a little amount of money to buy a smaller house closer to the woods. It was a very small cottage, with bricks covered in moss that surrounded the outside, a door that looked like it could fall off its hinges any time, white walls that looked old a crusty, and a roof that had sticks from the trees that had fallen onto the roof. (which probably made the roof look better). The place look scary, and as if it would collapse at any second, but I knew it would work since I had nothing else.
(Something like this)

I tried to continue with my sword job, but I eventually was "fired" for accidentally knocking over a torch and melting one of the metal clamps. I tried so hard to find things to do to earn coins, but people thought I was bad luck and were afraid that I was cursed. After a little while I started to run low on food, and coins to buy food. So I went to the bakery and stole a loaf of bread, but with my luck I was caught and thrown in the dungeon until sunset/dawn. Once dawn hit I was brought to the middle of town, and I knew the punishment for stealing. Loosing a hand. I was so afraid as I watched the just sharpened blade start to lift above my hand, and just before the man next to me was about to chop my hand clean off, a terrifying screech came from the woods. All the towns people looked up in fear and so did I. As my eyes slowly lifted I heard a woman scream and I saw many people run past me. I looked to see blood red eyes staring at me, the man holding my arm must have been so terrified cause he let my wrist go and ran. I just stared in fear as I felt my legs move on there own and I started to dart the other way along with the others. Instead of stopping at my tiny home I ran past it into the forest, letting leaves hit my face and logs hit the bottom of my shoes. (You all know how this ends) but as I ran I felt as if I was being watched, but I forgot about it as I fell. I continued but ended up giving out again but I remembered someone or something grab me. I blacked out before I could tell what had grabbed me and took me away.
