Guardian angel

«--------★--------»

Running into the woods while the freezing night roars, the wind whistles, and people chase after me. I don't want to go back, I want to get away from this hell hole. Why do they run after me when they treat me so horribly?

"Come back here you little rat!" One of the men screamed at me. I start to get more and more exhausted as my legs start to hurt. I don't get out all that much, so I've never experienced what this habitat is like. I don't know what creatures lurk around here, nor do I know if there is a nearby village. My legs, they ache. I don't know if I'll make it any further. The men are still screaming behind me, at this point, I feel like collapsing. I suddenly felt something or someone pull me aside right before I collapsed. Was this my savior, The angel that the Lords have sent to save me from these horrible people? Before I could catch a glimpse of my Angel my body shut down while I passed out in the arms of this person.

It felt like I was about to meet my fate. I wake up to a place I do not know. It's tidy and spotless, it all looks so modern. I know for a fact that this place was owned by someone rich. The floor was made of marble, while the walls were covered with rubies and crystals. The bed I was laying on was the most comfortable thing I have ever felt in my entire life. But, where exactly was I? I sat up and examined the room a bit until a man came in.

"Ah, I see you have woken up master. The lord has been waiting for you to wake up." The man greeted me in the most formal way possible. Was everyone outside of those walls like this? "The lord?" I asked.

"Yes, The lord found you running from a crowd of men and caught you just before you had passed out." He answered.

"I must ask, how are you feeling?"

"I feel fine," I answered. I got out of bed and as soon as my feet met the floor, my legs started to tremble. "Master! You should rest a little more, I will ask The Lord if he wishes to come see you himself due to your condition." The man then leaves the room, and I am left alone again.

I'm laying in bed in shame wondering how my life got me here, Then I hear knocking on the door. "May I enter?" A voice asked. This didn't sound like the man from earlier, matter of fact this sounds more of a deeper tone.

"Uhm... Y-yes you can come in..." I replied. I watched the door slowly open to find a young man. He had a white shirt and black pants along with a black belt. He was quite strong looking and very fit. He looked like a soldier, or rather a businessman?

"I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm The Lord of this palace," he explained. I never would have guessed such a handsome and young man were a ruler. Most of the rulers I've seen are either old or a very rude person.

"I have to say, you ran pretty far for someone as skinny as you," he mentioned.

"May I have your name?" My name? Is that some sort of gender or something? "I don't know my name.."

"You don't know your name? Hm, interesting," he commented. He walks towards me, closing the door behind him. He sits down on the bed with me examining my body structure.

"You seem to have some bruises all over your body. Would you like for me to treat them?"

"No, no! I-I'll be fine!" I claim. After all, I've had bruises all my life, and due to the experiences I have had, bruises aren't that big of a deal, even though they still hurt, so I don't really worry about them all that much.
