Pov ???
I get up like every morning and I sleep in a forest it's big most of the people who come here get lost but not me because I'm used to it. I decide to pick some fruit but there is none left
???: I have no choice but to go to the village.
I move from tree to tree and finally arrive in the village. The village is really big, there are houses everywhere but the place that interests me is the market there, they sell everything, magic weapons, swords, jewels and also food and today, by chance, there are a lot of people, I think there must be a lot of strangers so I can steal without being noticed.
Merchant: Come to my stand I sell good fish, come closer
???: I think I should go for fish, I haven't eaten it for a long time.
I get closer to where the fish are and decide to take some without the merchant noticing me, then comes the moment when I have to run away but the merchant grabs my arm
Merchant: Where do you plan to go as his thieving
I manage to free myself from his grip still with the fish in my hand then I decide to run away
Merchant: Guard please stop this thief
Two guards dressed entirely in their blue uniforms start to chase me despite the fact that I started to run before them, the fact that there are a lot of people bothers me I keep bumping into people and then I drop a lady on the floor and I help her pick up what I dropped
???: Excuse me ma'am, I didn't do it on purpose
Lady: Don't worry, it's not serious as long as you're ok
Guard: We finally found you thief
The guard tries to catch me but I decide to hide behind the lady I just met
Lady: Leave her you don't see how scared she is
Guard: Ma'am stay out of this she stole from a merchant earlier that's why we are here
Lady: Tell me little girl is it true
???: Yes ma'am but I have no money to pay
Lady: Well then, I will pay for her if you don't mind
Guard: Yes of course let's go to the merchant
"They all go to the merchant and when they arrive as promised the lady pays for the fish and then she gives it to me"
???: Thank you ma'am, thanks to you I will be able to eat today
Lady: Your welcome but tell me your name
???: My name is Ava
Lady: That's a nice name you have, how old are you?
Ava: I am 7 years old
Lady: Where are your parents Ava?
Ava: One day when I was 5 years old they brought me here and then they told me to stay here and then they went somewhere and they never came back. I have been here for two years and I have no money and no clothes but I manage on my own
Lady: (It's horrible to do this to a child, she didn't ask for anything and if I took her with me it would be a good idea) Tell me do you want to come with me
Ava: It's really true ma'am "I give her the best smile I can muster and jump into her arms".
Lady: Yes of course follow me we have a long way to go
Ava: Wait ma'am I have to go and get something first you come with me
Lady: Yes don't worry let's go Ava
I take the lady's hand and lead her into the forest and we walk until we get to a cave and inside it is very dark
Lady: This is where you used to live
Ava: Yes, this cave is my home, wait for me, I'll go and get something and I'll come.
Lady:( Well this little girl I think she is really brave she managed to survive on her own for 2 years)
I enter the cave and walk and then stop for a moment
Ava: Cookies where are you " she starts screaming until a cat comes "
Ava: Ah you're here, let's get out of here
Cookies jumps into my arms and I meet the lady who was waiting for me outside the cave
Ava: We can go now
Lady: I see the fish were for the cat
Ava: Yes but his name is Cookies, I can't let him starve to death
Lady: Well now it's time to go, I hope you can keep up with me, I'm pretty fast.
Ava: Don't worry I'll be right behind you with Cookies
The lady starts to move quite fast but I keep the pace and I'm right next to her then she looks at me
Lady: (Impressive that she can keep up with me, I didn't think she would be behind me)
Ava: Is your place far away?
Lady: We will be there in 4 hours
Ava: It's a long time, 4 hours
They keep walking and after 4 hours they arrive in a city which is huge and it seems to be very well protected there are buildings everywhere with even more people than where I was before I was really impressed and I couldn't stop looking everywhere
Lady: You look really impressed by what you see but you lived in a small village for a long time so now welcome to the capital this is where all the big mages are
Ava: Wow that's great
Lady: Well now it's time for me to show my home
Ava: Yes," she says happily.
The lady takes me to her house and from the outside it's a normal size house with a garden with trees and then when we get inside it's surprisingly big in the living room there's a sofa and a TV, the kitchen is normal it's a house with the bedrooms upstairs and the garden is big enough to run around in
Lady: Come on, let's go upstairs and I'll show you your room
Ava: Yes ma'am
They go upstairs and there are 2 rooms and the lady takes Ava to the second room
Lady: This will be your room from now on
Ava: Yes thank you
Lady: Now you go and take a shower because you are really dirty, you have mud on your clothes and your hair looks dirty
Ava: Yes, that's true.
The lady takes me in the shower I take off my clothes then I shower and the lady comes to wash my hair and I take advantage of it to make her fall in the bath with me then I laugh and she also starts to laugh I take advantage of this moment to observe her well she has red hair with black eyes and she has dark circles she seems to me to be rather young, then we go out of the bathroom and she gives me some clothes I put them on but they are a little bit too big for me
Lady: Don't worry even if these clothes are big, tomorrow I'll go and buy you some more clothes
Ava: Thank you
Lady: Now would you like to go and prepare dinner together?
Ava: Yes that sounds great
Me and the lady go and make dinner and while we are making dinner we have a laugh and then when we have finished we put the cutlery on the table and I notice that she has put three
Ava: Someone else is coming to eat with us
Lady: Yes, I don't live alone
Ava: Oh right
After she puts the cutlery on the table and then someone opens the door
???: It's me, I'm back
Lady: It was time consuming though, what took you so long Louise
Louise: Well the mission was harder than usual that's what took me so long "she notices Ava" who is this girl you brought back Rose
Rose: Her name is Ava I found her in the village not far from here she didn't have a home and food I couldn't just leave her there without doing anything
Louise: Yes, don't worry, I don't mind keeping her and she seems to be a nice person
Ava: Thank you for welcoming me so kindly to your home." I look at Louise and she has black hair and black eyes too, she looks exhausted."
Louise: You seem to be quite nice
Ava: Of course I am, now it's time to eat, enjoy your meal " I eat the meal quite quickly because I was really hungry".
The meal goes on in a good mood and I take the opportunity to feed Cookies too
Ava: Can I ask you something?
Louise: Yes, go ahead
Ava: There are only two rooms and I sleep in one of them so that means there will be one left and you'll both sleep together
Louise: Yeah, no worries, me and Rose are married.
Ava: Um okay I just wanted to thank you for taking me in, most people run away when they see me but you guys helped me and now you're taking me in thank you so much for that
Rose: You're welcome, but don't worry, we're here for you.
Ava: Well I'm going to go to sleep, I'm really tired, see you tomorrow
Louise and Rose: See you tomorrow
I go up to the room leaving Louise and Rose alone
Pov Rose
Rose: Well I think it's time for us to go to sleep too don't you think?
Louise: Yes I'm exhausted too after this day
They both go up to their rooms and once they are in bed
Louise: Tell me, did you take her with you because you and I wanted to have a child but we couldn't
Rose: I actually wanted both of us to raise her as if she were our own child
Louise: This little girl is going to be really happy with us
Rose: Yes, now it's time to sleep, sweetheart
I give her a kiss on the cheek and turn off the light
Pov Ava
I've had a pretty good day today I didn't think anyone would ever come to help me but it's happened I wonder what's going to happen to me afterwards I pet Cookies one last time and then go to sleep
