He stared at her surprised, then began looking at her up and down. "You're Adrina, wow you're not at all what I thought you'd look like," he said in a calm voice.

"Excuse me!" she said offended. What right did this man have to say that? Sure she wasn't in the best outfit in the world and yes she was on the pale thin side, but still. He stared at her with wide eyes realizing what he had said was indeed offending. "Oh I'm so sorry, that wasn't a real smart thing to say. Sorry about that its just I thought you would look more like your mother but you really resemble your father more. With your green eyes and black hair, its shocking how much you look like him." She had been startled when he mentioned her parents, but having her fiery temper she realized yet another offending thing. "Are you saying I look like a boy now?! You're such a rude jerk, you havent even introduced yourself to me and yet your throwing insults! I do believe i have had enough of this conversation, so goodbye." And with that she turned on her heal and left the room.

She walked by all the adults who were searching for their perfect child. Past all the children hopeful for the perfect parents, her eyes began to water for some reason unknown to her. Adrina walked out the backdoor and sat on the steps trying to regain her composure. Today, like most days, wasn't turning good for her. She loved the peacefulness of the outside. It gave her a sense calmness rather than the chaos she had to put up with everyday. And at this very moment she found that she needed this calmness. She sat there for a long time thinking of everything.
Adrina had been 2yrs old when she was placed under the care of Ms. Lorena. The authorities had informed Ms. Lorena that Adrina had been found alone on a bench near the docks. She had been sound asleep when she had been found and they all wondered how she got there. And then they heard about the ship that had sunk nearby. No one had so far claimed the poor child, so they took her and left her at the orphanage. And all the while Adrina had been here, for fourteen long years, she had been shown nothing but hate and cruelty. It was a terrible fate to happen to an orphaned child.

Adrina was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she didn't hear someone come up behind her. Only when a large pressure appeared next to her, did she look and see who it was. It was the man from earlier. He didn't say anything, he just sat there patiently waiting to see what would happen next. They sat their together for the longest time until Adrina couldn't stand the silence any longer. "What is it that you want from me?"She asked quietly. He was silent for a moment and seemed to be pondering how best to answer without getting her riled up again. "My name is Lukas. I can't tell you everything here. It would be too dangerous to tell you in the open like this. I need you to come with me, you don't belong here, Adrina. And you probably won't understand if I tell you here. Will you come away with me? Can you trust that I won't hurt you? A lot of people need your help right now, and only your help. Please come with me,"he begged. Adrina stared down at the ground having listened to everything he had said. She didn't have anything here, and even if she did get hurt it wouldn't matter. She had been hurt too many times already, what was one more time? She had a feeling that something important was ahppening and if someone was begging for her to help, then she should help. She looked up and gazed at the dimming sky and shivered from a nonexisting cold. She turned her sad eyes to Lukas and said in a small quiet voice, "Alright. I'll come with you."

"Thank you. Now come with me, we must find that wretched lady who owns this place. We have forms to fill out," he told her while standing up. He held out his hand to help her up, and she hestitantly accepted. She was immediately surprised at how cool his strong hands were. He looked down at her and smiled a sweet smile and led her inside.

Five hours later all the forms were filled out and Adrina was now packing what little belongings she had. Lukas had agreed to be her guardian until she came of age, and a small bubble of happiness surfaced in her sad heart."Hey, almost ready to go and never come back?" Lukas said with a smile on his face. Adrina looked around the tiny room that five other girls had shared with her. She had been here for fourteen years and was finally leaving it forever. She continued looking and remembered all the nightmares that this place held.And then she turned her back to the room and looked up at Lukas. "I've been ready for a long time." She sadi with a sad smile on her face. "Well then, I guess it's about time we left then." And they did. Together. They left the orphanage and walked down the quiet street.

They had been walking for hours and were now in a large forest. It was night, and Adrina couldn't help the feeling of being watched. She shivered. She wasn't afraid of the dark, but she was afraid of things that were terrifying for her. Ghosts were one of them. When ever she was locked up in a closet by Ms. Lorena she had always got a strange feeling of being watched closely. It had always scared her, and even caused her to have many sleepless nights. "So, where exactly are we going Lukas?"She asked him, her eyes were darting all around the forest, seeking some reassurance. He glanced at her as they continued walking, "I'm sorry to tell you this but I Can't tell you. Someone could be watching and listening to us and it might be someone whom we don't want to now where we are going." This didn't help to improve Adrina's feelings, but she remained silent and the continued onward.

Suddenly a twig snapped behind them, and Adrina jumped two feet in the air. They turned to see who was behind them and found no one. Terror filled Adrina like water in a glass. She had turned pale and was now wishing she hadn't come. She turned to Lukas, "This had better not be some sort of sick joke, 'Cause if it is then it's not funny!" He looked at her then his eyes began glancing around, still looking for the source of the noise. "This isn't me. I promise you that," He reached in his pocket and pulled out a dagger in a sheath,"Here keep this with you. Tie it to your hip. If something does happens, it might not but if it does, then I want you to use it. Do you understand?" SHe took the dagger with trembling hands and tied it to her hip. "I understand."

They continued walking, their ears straining to hear something odd and out of place. Adrina glanced at Lukas through the corner of her eye. 'Why is he so calm? Why do I feel like we've met before? And where are we going? I'm so scared right now, I keep feeling like something bad is going to happen,' she thought to herself. Lukas held a hand out in front of her so she would stop. She looked at him, he put his fingers to his lips to show they should be quiet. They walked forward a bit, then she heard it. Footsteps were behind them. Following.

Lukas slowly grabbed his dagger, and pushed Adrina behind him to protect her. A loud snap came from the trees above. Both heads darted upward. Suddenly a loud yell came from above and a person in a black cloak, came falling ontop of Lukas. "What do we have hear," Said the person evily. Lukas' eyes widened and flung the person off of him. Lukas got up and began brushing dirt off his clothes, "Why must you always make my job difficult? And what are you doing sneaking up on us like that?" Lukas said to the person in black. Adrina, still unsure of what was happening, felt as though they were not in any danger anymore.

"Oh, shut up Lukas. I was just having some fun," He pulled back his cloak revealing his black messy hair and showing the most magnificent blue eyes," Plus you should be thanking me! I was testing to see if you were on your guard or not." He smiled a gorgeous smile at Lukas.
"And why should I be thanking you for that? I could've killed you," Lukas said, he looked over at Adrina, who was standing a bit aways from the man," Look what you've done Eiko! Geez you are such a jerk sometimes! Don't be afraid of this idiot Adrina. He's doesn't think a lot."
"Excuse me! What is that supposed to mean," Eiko asked with a glare,"I'm not an idiot!"

"Scaring a girl is under the requirements of being an idiot. Not to mention a jerk as well," Lukas replied. Adrina bristled at the comment of being scared because she was a girl.
"Excuse me, Lukas," She said turning to him," Just because I am a girl doesn't mean I'm a wimp, alright?" She looked over at Eiko and realized he was staring at her. "What?"
Eiko blinked, a sad look crossed his face. He looked at Lukas," Did you just say this is Adrina? Adrina, as in Adrina, Adrina?"
"Yes Eiko," Lukas said as he grabbed Adrina's hand and pulled her over to face Eiko," Eiko meet Adrina. Adrina meet Eiko."
The two stared at each other, each as unsure as the other. Then Eiko stretched his hand out, and while looking down at the ground he said,"It is a wonderful pleasure in meeting you,Adrina. I have been wanting to meet you for the longest time."
She smiled at him and looked down to the ground as well,"It is my pleasure in meeting you,Eiko." Both staring down at the ground, they shook hands.

As soon as their hands touched a small feeling of electricity ran through them. They both jumped back in shock and stared at each other. "Have we met somewhere before, Eiko? You just seem very familiar," Adrina said quietly as she tried to recall a place where she might have met him. Eiko glanced quickly over at Lukas, as though asking what to do. He turned back to Adrina and with a sad look on his pale face he said, " I can't tell you some things Adrina. I am extremely sorry but, I can't." And with that he walked away from her and stood behind Lukas.
