A long time ago, many, many years before the present, there was a girl. This girl was different from the rest, her name was...

Milk-carton.

She knew from the start that she was different. Especially since most of the girls her age were named after vegetables such as carrots and broccoli. Milk-carton had no friends and was bullied by any and all people she met, even the adults.

"Haha your ugly"

"Yeah, you smell like poo"

"I bet you're sour milk"

Those were some of the things people would say to her. She was not only oppressed, but also depressed.

At nights, she would cry herself to sleep. In the mornings, she would cry herself awake. He tears were chocolate milk.

One day, Milk-Carton had enough, she was tired of getting bullied by everyone. So she grabbed her sister, who's name was Egg-Carton, and threw all the eggs she had(including the sister) at all of her neighbors' cottages.

When her parents found out, they were very, very angry. They knew she was bullied and even talked to the counselor at the Not-Quite-A-Town-But-Not-Quite-A-Village hall and tried to get the bullying to stop, but nothing worked. Her parents, Onion(the mom) and Candle-Wax(the dad), never thought that it would get so bad. For the young 14 year old Milk-Carton, has never retaliated to any of the bullying before.

They decided it was time to send her to the Bad-Children-Get-Turned-Into-Good-Children School.

When Milk-Carton found out, she was scared and disappointed that her parents would do such a thing to her. She was also mad. Very mad. So mad, that she ran away. She struck out on her own in an attempt to get away from the society that she lived in.

Milk-Carton packed a sack full of clothes and a large slab of bread. She also brought the bone knife she found in the kitchen drawer.  She jumped out the window and ran into the woods behind her cottage, not once stopping to look back. She walked for hours and only stopped if she saw something useful to her.

Milk-Carton wandered the world for two years before finding a place to settle down.

She had been walking through a field when she was attacked by an annoying orange. One of the deadliest monsters to roam the world at the time. Milk-Carton didn't know how to fight deadly monsters such as this one. Milk-Carton tried to run away but a tree root magically appeared and she tripped. She thought she was going to die right then and there.

But there was a sudden flash of silver and the beast fell to the ground in a loud thump. Milk-Carton looked up to see a young man, roughly the same age as her, with long silver locks of hair and eyes a deep crimson red. At first she was frightened, but when he approached her, she realized he had no evil intentions.

"Are you okay?" He said in a deep voice. When she was going to reply, she looked into his eyes and was star struck.

"-llo, hello, can you hear me, are you okay?" Before she could answer, he picked her up and carried her back to his village to get her medical help. It was love at first sight.

Or so she thought.
