I met her one day in the market, she  wasn't from around Mongolia.

She looked to be Chinese and it was love at first trip.

Why I say this is because she tripped over her dress.

I rushed over and helped her up, "Miss you're not from around here are you?"

No she said blushing, I studied her features.

She was a bit shorter then me, she had jet black raven hair.

It cascaded down her back and hit just above her waist line.

I noticed she was wearing a bride's maid dress.   

The sleeves were pushed up above her elbows.

I also saw cuts and bruises on her arms.

She realized I was staring at her arms, she quickly pulled the sleeves down covering the marks.

"What brings you over the Great Wall Miss?"

She casted down her eyes and whispered "I don't want to be married to him."

"Who?" I questioned, "General Li , he has three other wives and he is mean to them."

*So I ran away, are you married to him yet or just betrothed?"

"Betrothed sir, "she shy peeked up at me from her bowed potion.

"What's your name Miss?"

"My name is Jade Sir".

"Hi Jade my name is Shun yu, please to meet you "I bowed to her.

"So where are you going since you don't want to be with him?"

"I'm not sure Sir," "please call me Shun."

She blushed again.

"Well you are welcome to come stay with me, I have a guest room you can stay in."

"Oh that's very kind of you Shun but I don't want to be a bother."

"Not at all Jade I offered," I said taking her small hand into mine.

She looked back at me with surprise at my forwardness.

She accepted my offer, so I led her to my house.

I had a feeling we would be together forever.
