Mikayla's POV

“Mikayla”, my mother called.

“ I coming mama", I said, while running down the small path.

My mother, Eleanor, and I were supposed to go to town to get some food supplies. The winter this time left no room for vegetation so we needed to stock up on food before the blizzard hit...oh how much I hate this place.

“ Mama, can't we just leave this place, can't we just cross the border and go off into the next kingdom" , I asked.

My mother just stared at me like I had lost my mind. my mother always wanted us to stay here, like there was something holding her back. And it got on my nerves because it was holding me back from a life I could possibly have.

“ Mikayla, don't you dare ask a question you already know the answer too", my mother said and continued walking.

“ Good afternoon, Ms Eleanor, fancy seeing you here”, Mr Rigby, the tax collector said slyly .

Mr Rigby always had feelings for my mother, it was sickening. Whenever I tried to tell my mom about it, she would just play it off as some friendly feelings towards an acquaintance.

But there's nothing friendly about his lustful gaze.

“ Ms Eleanor, may I have a word with you?", Mr Rigby asked.

" Sure, why not", my mother replied.

Why do I have a bad feeling about this…

...****************...

Mr Rigby's POV

Eleanor… the woman of my dreams. Her smooth mocha skin that looks tastier than butter scotch. Her big brown eyes that can make a chipmunk swoon. I need her, I want her, I will have her... and that's why I lured here, away from her pesky daughter.

“ Eleanor, I have noticed that you are not seen with any …male companions of any type", I said.

" What do you mean by ' male companions ', Mr Rigby? ", she asked, confused.

" Please, call me Jack, and what I meant to say was, aren't you lonely Eleanor. We could be the best of friends...and maybe more than that", I said suggestively.

Confusion and uncertainty showed on her face. She looked quite cute to me. But I was getting impatient.

" I think I should go, Mikayla must be wondering what has happened to me", she said, trying to get away.

" What do you mean? I think she can take care of herself and there's no need to hurry, it's not like I have done anything wrong", I said while trying to catch her arm.

But then she shoved me…nobody has ever shoved…not even my own parents. I need to teach this b**** a lesson... she needs to know who is the boss here.

But before I could react Eleanor started running, and she was a really fast runner. It was hard to catch up because of the hefty meal I just had. (a/n he is just fat af )

...****************...

Eleanor's POV

I should have listened to Mikayla, but I didn't think it would end up like this. I am trying to run as fast as I can but this dress is getting in the way, if only I had my rider pants.

" Eleanor, come back, I just want to talk, I won't hurt yah", she heard Mr Rigby say.

I need to get to Mikayla quick, but I don't know if I can make it.

As Eleanor continued to run, she just so happen to trip, and ended up hitting her head.…

...****************...

Third person's POV

The town was in a frenzy. The local doctor was currently trying to save a life of a woman that had a concussion.… and that woman was Eleanor.

According to Mr Rigby, he had found her passed out on a excluded path. She was currently in critical condition and Mikayla was freaking out.

" I don't know if she will make it, you don't even have enough money to take her to the next town to go and get better treatment, but if you could arrange some money, we can get her to the next town to receive treatment before it's too late ", the doctor said solemnly.

" I will do something about it but please, help my mother ", Mikayla said and bolted off.

...****************...

Mikayla's POV

I don't know where to get the money. My savings from my job could only help half way and I need the money fast. The only person I know that might help is the person I want to avoid but I have to ask him for help … I have to ask Mr Rigby.

...----------------...

" Mr Rigby, I need your help", I pleaded.

Mr Rigby was acting weirder than usual and was reluctant to give me any help. He then looked at me all funny. Did I have something on my face, I thought.

" I will only help you and you mother, if you convince your mother to date me", he said.

I was flabbergasted. I knew he was into my mother but not to this weird extent. I couldn't just accept it so willy nilly, therefore, I tried to think it over. I went back to see the doctor. He said that my mom was stable but still in critical condition.

I decided to accept Mr Rigby's condition.

...----------------...

I arrived at Mr Rigby's place. I tried to knock on his door, but I heard his voice come from the backyard. I then decided to go over to him but I was stopped dead in my tracks when I over heard his conversation.

" I can't let anyone find out about what I did to Eleanor, Fred", Mr Rigby said to his friend.

" But it was an accident, no jiffy", Fred said to comfort him.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. All I knew was that I couldn't accept this man's offer.

I had to get my mom away from him, from this place but she also needed treatment.

But before I could live, I accidentally kicked into a pot and that caught the attention of the two men.

They looked over, and I bolted. I ran like a mad dog but I was technically going mad. The pressure is on and I need to get outta here.

...----------------...

I reached the doctor's place to get my mom. The doctor didn't want me to do it but I just got her and put her in my wooden carriage and went home to get our stuff.

But I just so happened to meet Jennifer, Mr Rigby's daughter. She wanted to poke her nose into my business but I just shoved to the side, which resulted her into scraping her knee.

I went inside and grabbed all the stuff I could and left to go to the next town with my mother lying unconscious in the carriage.

Mikayla's POV

Today is the first day of taking my mum to the next town. I'm trying my best to be calm about it but it's quite hard I can't believe Mr Rigby did that to my mum.

My mum is still unconscious in the back of my carriage and my horse little ol' Daisy is getting tired. She is supposed to be retired but I am making her work like a donkey.

We kept on traveling despite the fact that the sun was going down. The sounds of wolves howling off into the distance scared me, but I had to keep on pushing if I were to reach the next town on time.

“M-mikayla?”, I heard a groggy voice say.

“ Ma, mama?!”, I replied, startled.

I stopped the carriage and went to the back to check on her. My mother looked disoriented and her eyes were blood shot.

"Mikayla, where am I? where are we?", my mom asked.

" Mom, just relax and then I will tell you what's up", I tried to advise but my mother was persistent.

" Mr Rigby tried to violate you but you passed out. You have been unconscious for some time now and the doctor said you might not make it if I didn't take you to the doctors in the next town", I explained to my mom as her expression got worse by the minute.

My mother clutched her head and cried out, " if only I had listed to you Mimi, I wouldn't have made you worry, but how did you get enough money for me to get treated?”.

“ That's a good question mom, and the answer is that I don't have any money at all for your treatment”, I said shyly.

My mother stared at me like I grew a second head. I think she wanted me to return the money to whoever I borrowed it from but there wasn't even any money, thus she didn't even know what to say.

“ Let's go back home Mimi, it's getting late”, my mom said.

But I felt like going back to that place shouldn't be an option. For some reason, that place did not feel like a place where I belonged. I feel like I belong elsewhere, where the food is actually delicious, the weather is pleasing and the people aren't…trash.

" There's just one problem mama, I hurt Mr Rigby's daughter and Mr Rigby is planning to bed you or something ", I said, trying to direct her away from that place.

But before my mother could say anything, we heard a growl. Usually it would be some wolf trying to get back to it's pack but this sounded different …it sounded evil …

Just when my mother and I were about to come to a decision of how to proceed, a black and purple stripped creature jumped towards us.

This creature startled Daisy, which made her to take off with the carriage. This sudden departure made me fall out of the carriage and be left with the ferocious creature.

" Mimi, run, come on run !!!”, my mother shouted.

My mom looks like she wants to jump out of that carriage but she can't even get into a kneeling position by herself. She looks kinda funny but I can't be humourous in this situation unless I want my last action before death to be disrespecting my mother.

" Mom, throw me my sword, quickly!”, I shouted, while trying to get away from the creature.

My mother struggled to find my sword as I was running in a zigzag fashion in an attempt to confuse the beast. It took a few seconds more until my mom, clumsily threw my sword towards me, while being careful not to hurt me.

I got my sword and unsheathed it. This sword once belonged to my dad…before he went missing. I swung the sword at the beasts eyes because it's usually a weak spot, unless it's special, it would be severely injured.

The beast stopped moving for a split second before it continued it's rampage. I swung my sword and dodged, but the beast was too ferocious. It kept at it until I noticed that it had regenerated one of it's eyes. But I think that led to it becoming weaker but it's strength still overpowered me.

I was growing tired. The weather was going against me for it started to snow. The carriage my mother was in was long gone.

The monster strated to slow down and it looked like it was retreating, but I was so wrong. The beast made a U-turn and came at me at full speed. I thought I was gone for then all of a sudden, there was a green spark. This spark couldn't even be called a spark. It was more of a lighting flash, and that flash came from me…and was directed to the creature …

The creature was struck down. I went over to check if it was still alive, but it was only unconscious. I decided to finish the the job because it's fur could be useful and so would it's horns. I couldn't believe what I just did but I couldn't do anything about it.

I harvested his fur and horns with the dagger I had in my boot. I tried to see if I could run after my mom, but it was in useless, but my attempt wasn't in vain because, my mom had thrown some of my stuff out of the carriage, probably in hopes of me needing some stuff in case of a situation like this.

I am now all by myself. it looks like me mom was whisked off towards the south east, I believe that is were the territory of Baron Velount is. Hopefully my mom is okay.

As for me, am just going to keep on heading south to the next town.

(a/n: Mikayla is going south because she is close to the next time. she is not going to were she thinks her mom is because she isn't 100% sure she was taken there )

Mikayla's POV

I am still quite confused. I never felt like the way I did that night. I felt something in the pit of my stomach, it tugged at my heart, I thought it was the fear of almost dying, but once I had released that power, I felt like a weight was lifted off my chest.

Anyway, I had walked a little further untill I reached an empty cave. I slept there even though I could feel the cold soak into the core of my bones.

I started off at sunrise to the next town. The sun was quite harsh despite it being the beginning of winter. I kept on walking until a thought popped up.

I got into a fighting stance and shouted, " KAAAAAA MEEEEE HAAAAA MEEE HAAAAAAAAA!!!”.

But nothing, I wanted to summon that power I had from last night but I guess it's instinctual. I was about to get on my way when I heard a laugh.

I turned and saw a little boy with icy blue eyes and platinum blonde hair. He looked about 4ft tall and had rosey chicks…the complete opposite to me. I am above average height for a girl, about 5ft 8 and had black hair with dark brown eyes ( talk about a character in default settings).

The boy looked at me all funny, did I have something on my face again, I thought to myself. He then proceeded to come towards me, like the kid never heard of not going near strange people.

“ Hello sister, can you help me find my mommy", the boy said.

I really wanted to help but this weird a** kid laughed at my Kamehameha, he was all chilled as if he weren't lost. But I felt a sense of responsibility, because I am technically a lost kid…a 24 year old kid?

" okay kiddo, I will help you find your mom. So, where did you last see her?", I asked while holding my hand out.

The kid flashed his blindingly white teeth at me, giving me a toothy grin. He held my hand tight and said, " Thank you, sister, my mommy was last seen down that path".

Why is this kid so trusting, if it were someone else, he could have been kidnapped and sold off into slavery. Unlike me, who can deal with bad guys, this little boy could stand no chance against villains…or so I thought.

...----------------...

" Sister, please calm down, I have taken care of all the bad guys, they won't bully you anymore", the little boy said to me.

But I don't think I can call him a ' little boy' anymore because of what stood before me. A grown a** man stood before me at the moment. He had at least 2 heads more of height than me.

This guy was a boy just a few moments ago, then all of a sudden, some forest thugs tried to rob us. But the boy I once knew, let off a black but sparkling light and transformed into this … person?

His hair grew longer, longer than my shoulder length hair, and his muscles that looked like the wanted to burst out of his shirt....damn…

” Sister, why do look like you have seen a ghost?", he asked with an oblivious face.

he then looked at himself and stared back at me with a sly grin.

" How rude of me to surprise you like this sister, my sole purpose of interacting with you is to kidnap you and sacrifice you to the gods", he said with a big smile on his handsome face.

I am really shocked right now, I can't believe he just manhandled all these guys with his bare- wait, did say he wants to kidnap me?

“ It looks like you have registered your situation, Mikayla, I now have to take you to the others", the man said.

He grabbed my hand, but before he could do anything else, I got my dagger and stabbed him in his side. But that didn't faze him, he just laughed and knocked my head.

My eye lids felt heavy and my body became limp. the last thing I heard him say was, " Don't worry Mimi, we will take good care of you".

I blacked out, I was gone. I was being kidnapped by a guy I don't even know. What even is his name…damnit, I didn't even ask. So is this how am gonna end up…did he just call me Mimi
