When we met

"Mimi! I'm leaving now!" Dylan yells as she shuts the door behind her. Mimi seng Dylan to town to get ingredients for medicine for her neighbor Austin. Dylan begins to walk to the road with her long blue hair following behind her. Dylan is the prettiest girl around Abysris. Only being 16 she still has gotten many marriages proposals for all kind of men around. Some men have even gone as far as to try to buy Dylan from Mimi. None of them have succeeded though.

"finally made it to the fork in the road," Dylan says was a hint of exhaustion. The fork goes three ways left Abysris right the meadows and the middle is the ocean. Dylans favorite place in the world. Her father use to take her there all the time. He tried to teach her how to boat and he always wanted her to become a fisherman just like him so one day they could go fish and have a good time. A memorie flashes in Dyalns mind.

"Dilly, no like this," Father said to her as he showed her again how to tie the not for docking.

"Daddy when can mommy come out here with us?" Dylan only being 6 at the time asks.

"Dill you know mama doesnt feel too well," He explains to his daughter. Next week her mother passed away. They never figured out what was wrong but they sent her off in a raft and set it a fire. Dylan's eyes began to water at the flashback. She keeps left and heads to town to get the ingredients. She finally gets there the town is so noisy. Everyone is excited for tomorrow festival. They say the prince is coming all the way from the capital.

"Daddy look at this!" a little boy shouts as he runs past Dylan and almost knocks her down.

"Oh my sorry about that," The dad says as he runs passed as well.

"I miss my dad," Dylan mumbles.

"DYLAN!" A man shouts from across the street. Dylan looks over she begins to smile as this man runs up to her and picks her up and gives her a huge bear hug.

"Tyler!" Dylan yells as he puts her back down.

"WOW you've grown up!" Tyler says as he looks her up and down.

"How long has it been?" Dylan ask.

"4 years last month, You see how tall I am now," Tyler points out. As he waves his hand above his head to show me.

"Wow that long huh, so I was only what 12 when you left for the army," she explains with a smile on, "How was it? got any good storys?"

"None that a little girl should hear," Tyler says with his finger swinging side to side as if he were a mother.

"Wow you and Austin are the same!" Dylan yells with an eye roll.

"Austin's still around?" he asks.

"Yeah, well he left about 2 years like you but he got hurt and they sent him back but when he came home his family was gone they left for the capital so now Mimi and I take care of him," Dylan blabbed.

"How did he get hurt?" Tyle digs deeper.

Dylan shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know he won't tell me."

"Wow hey we should go get some food and talk some more," Tyler suggests.

"Oh no I can't. I have to grab some more ingredients for Austin's medicine and it's getting dark so I better hurry or the wolves will get me," Dylan laughs.

"Oh yeah sure, see you tomorrow at the festival!" Tyler shouts as he walks away.

"Sure," Dylan mumbles with a smile and wave. "Now where do I get Daisy's flower head?"

LATER ON

"Okay got all I could find the sun is beginning to set I better head to Mimi or she'll come out for me," Dylan says as she checks the last thing off her list. Dylan begins to walk home but she keeps getting a feeling that someone is following her. Dylan begins to feel anxious. She starts walking faster. "maybe it's my mind messing with me," she thinks.

"Hey Dylan come here! come have fun with us!" a group of old drunk men yell at her. Once she began to start walking faster so do they.

"Sorry but it's late and Mimi will start to worry if I'm not back soon," she say as she begin to lightly jog. "oh God, what do I do!" she begins to freak out. The old men dont stop theh begin to jog. then she starts to sprint. They follow. Dylans eyes begin to water blocking her vision. She sees the signs for the fork. "Once I get on my road if I scream Mimi should hear me" Dylan starts to plan on her escape. Dylan's getting tired. she cant run anymore. *BAM* She trips over a rock. She gets up as fast as she can and darts forward she cant see a thing her eyes are so watery and now have dirt in them. Shes dragging her feet now. Most of the old men stopped running and some of them began walking. Dylan wipes her eyes to find that shes at the beach. "What why am I at the beach? did i change direction when I fell?" Dylan far away from Mimi or anyone that can save her now. She begins to scream, "Help me!" The old men finally are at the beach as well.

"What a beautiful night to have some fun," One of the old men said as he stepped forward," I remember you staying no to me last month."

" I'm sorry," Dylan says. The old man walks up to Dylan. "I cant move why cang I move!" she says in her mind, " Oh god no please stop."

He grabs her wrist and says,"I'll ruin you." Tears fall from her eyes. She falls to her knees.

"Not here not the place where I grew up I can't" she mumbles. The old man lifts her back up and looks her straight in the face and spilt in it.

"*****, no man will ever love you, your own father left you. He says it's to pay for food but we all know hes tried of you," the man says. He let's go of here and begins to hit and kick her repeatedly.

The old men join in and start saying mean and harsh words,"*****!" "Slut" "Daddy hates you" "die" "what a waste of space". Dylan begins to loss consciousness. She out cold.

"Dilly what's wrong?" a voice says.

"Mama they said that I was a mistake and that you and daddy hate me," baby dylan cries out.

"Dont listen to them okay, you're so special to me and your father was love you so much!" mama answers with a tear running down her face.

"Mama! Mama!" Dylan screams as she wakes up. "Don't cry Mama!" Dylan looks around she's in a tent and is bandaged up. She jolts up.

"Hey take is easy, you were banged up pretty bad," a deep voice rings in Dylans ears. A man walks in the tent. Hes very tall, has dark hair, and has a military suit on or it's just really fancy Dylan can't tell.

"Who are you? Why am I here?" Dylan ask but her eyes begin to shut once again as she goes in a deep slumber.
