CHAPTER 1: HI MY NAME IS SAVE ME

Prologue:

I was out of breath and I didn't know for how much longer I could do this. I was running through the woods, I was running from them and I was running for my life… I didn't want to die but I didn't want to step up and claim the responsibilities for my actions either. In fact… that's the reason why I was running through the woods.

Where was I heading? I don't know. I just hoped I would find a safe place. I need to find a safe place for her. She couldn't go home, she could never go back home, he'd claim her as his own on the spot and that was something I just could not allow. Where was I? That was a very good question. I only remember arriving in Louisiana, in a small town called Bon Temps, and there's where they found me. I had left Canada, I had left Nevada, and I had left my life because of everything which had happened to me because of her.

But I couldn't blame her it wasn't her fault. She's so young and innocent she couldn't have known that he would want her as his own. He was just a bastard and, I was ashamed to call him my prince… that's that ok because I'll save you. I'll save you my lady.

I could hear him. I could hear his footsteps coming closer. I could hear him and I knew that he would find me and take her if I didn't find a safe place…

"Run, little servant. You make my little job so much more interesting, "He said. "I love little games, darling, but you're aware that I'll find you eventually. You know that you'll never escape me. "

I could always try. I just needed to believe in myself. I could do this, I could escape him. I was strong, but he was a royal guard... There was nothing I could do. Why was I so cursed? Because that was what I was. I mean, which kind of servant girl ended up being chased by a royal guard?

I was still wondering how I had gotten into this situation. Oh yeah that right … the queen the queen asked me her only trustworthy servant to take her only daughter to the human plane and protect her as if she was my own. Simple right? Wrong! Her daughter's betrothed found out and had her killed, right along with her father and now he sent guards after me to kill me and bring her back. I've been doing really well up until recently, when my young ward start growing into her powers. She so young but she's growing more powerful by the week now because of the blood pumping through her veins. As if a young and untrained toddler wasn't enough something else had to make my job worse.

When the Great Revelation happened, and those stupid vamps decide to come out everything changed for me and my ward.

"Come on, little servant. I'm getting tired. I will catch you soon; girl and I will bring Mignonette back to her rightful home."

"No" I say looking down at the sleeping girl. "You or your prince will never have her."

That was when I noticed something. There was a small light at the end of the woods. There was a house closer than I thought. It was my only chance to survive. If I could enter, I would be safe. I needed to run faster, but it didn't really go as planned... definitely not. Why? Because I tripped on a stupid tree branch! I was going to get caught because of a branch. No, no, please… Isn't there someone to help me? There was no one of course. I was alone in the woods, well, not completely. My chapter was still here, closer than I thought…

I tried to get up, but a foot on my back prevented me from doing so.

"Darling, I think I caught you. Now, you're going to be very nice to me or I might get a little rougher with you."

I had no choice, but I needed to fight... this was mina's life. I tried once again to get up and strangely his foot left my back. I tried to run but he grabbed me by my arm, and nearly broke it.

I told you to be nice, but no! You don't want to. What am I going to do with you? I know he wants you alive but he hasn't said anything about hurting you. Maybe he'll like it, after all, he could give you his probably gonna kill you anyway.

"Tell me, why did you do it. Why did you kidnap her? "He asked me, raising his eyebrow. He made me sick. His little green eyes were vicious. He scared me, not only because he wanted to give me to his boss, but because he was creepy as shit.

"He hasn't told you? Well, that's too bad. I'm not going to say anything. "I answered, surprised by how calm I was. I had never thought I had it in me.

"Do not play with me, little servant. I could kill you in a heartbeat. "

"But you're not going to because your boss wouldn't be happy then, right? Poor little you..." I definitely had a death wish. I was provoking him... Why? This was completely stupid.

He growled and his grip on my wrist tightened. It hurt. I was pretty sure that if he continued, he was going to break it.

"I can't kill you, but I can hurt you. You don't want to suffer, do you, servant? "He sighed. And then he looked at the little girl in my arm. "Honestly, I don't understand why you would do such a thing. You seem like perfectly normal servant girl, but I don't know. "

I didn't answer. I wasn't going to tell him what I could do... I just wished I could show him, but it didn't work like that. I was just a servant, not a monster like the one who was holding my wrist.

I tried to yank my wrist away in a desperate movement and strangely I succeed. I immediately started running but I didn't get far because I was suddenly thrown against a tree.

I screamed when my face hit the hard wood and I fell to the ground as mina fell out of my arms. My nose was broken; I was pretty sure about it. I could feel the blood pouring from my nose. And my head hurt so badly. My vision was blurry and my all body was trembling, but worse than that, I could hear mina and she was crying.

"You bitch, if there is a scratch on her I will kill you." he said picking up mina and trying to calm her.

I looked at him; he was standing in front of me. I was helpless now... I couldn't move, I couldn't do anything and I knew that soon, I would lose consciousness and wake up surrounded by the royal family or at least what was left of it.

"What the hell is going on here?" I heard someone scream and turned my head towards the person.

A blonde woman was standing there, wearing a lovely yellow dress. She had her hands on her hips and an angry look on her face. Our eyes met for a brief moment and her eyes widened. Then she looked at the soldier, and what surprised me was the fact that she wasn't afraid.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" She asked, determined to get an answer.

A long laugh came from the guard's mouth, but died when his eyes fell on the girl. "Nothing you need to know. Stay out of this and leave if you value your life. "He said setting Mina on the ground gently.

The girl frowned but didn't move. She kept starting at the guard. Was she crazy? She was provoking him. She was putting herself in danger because of me... She was going to get hurt, or worse, he would eat her, because of me. How could I live knowing that? No, she needed to leave... Or I needed to do something. I…I needed to … to use Mina…

"You're going to leave this girl and her child alone." The girl said and my mouth fell open. I wanted to tell her to run for her life, to save herself before it was too late, but strangely she seemed so confident. Could she really help me?

"I didn't really want to kill you, but you're not making this easy. He shot me a brief glance. "This is your entire fault, you servant."

He was right... This was my fault. "Don't do this, please." I whispered because it was the only thing I could do. My head was spinning, my face was burning, in fact my whole body felt like it was being engulfed by the sun itself.

"It's too late for that; you should have come with me. She's going to die because of you." He turned to the girl, but she wasn't scared, or maybe she was hiding it." It's such a shame. You smell delicious. I'm sure you taste even better, but I can't keep you around. You have to die. "He said and started to make his way towards the girl slowly, as if he wanted to make this last longer. He was a sadistic bastard.

I couldn't let this happen, no, it was impossible. I tried to stand up and help her, but failed horribly. I fell on my back before I got the chance to take a step.

"No she can't die! Mina save the girl "I screamed when the guard was nearly touching the girl. My little Mina's hand instantly aimed at the guard, I didn't know what she was doing. I could only feel her power rise as it boiled over the top at her hearing my command.

All of the sudden raw energy was coming out of her hand and it hit the guard… she was doing it again and I didn't know how it was even possible. The energy was coming out of her hand, it wasn't normal but it was saving the girl's life… and Mina's too. It was the only thing that mattered.

The guard screamed in pain because he was being swallowed by the energy and since he knew he was going to die, because no one would help him. The girl was dumbfounded and her eyes went between me and Mina to our common friend. She was probably scared of Mina and me but I wasn't going to hurt her… No, I would never do that, even if I was killing someone...

"Sookie!" Another person started screaming when the energy coming from Mina's hand disappeared.

Mina ran over to me with a triumph face "I gots the bad guy mommy?"

I stared at my little Mina while the girl and the other person were staring at me and at the dying and disintegrated guard.

That was when I realized something… Mina had killed someone... Mina now had killed a royal guard.

What have I done? Damn I should have never told Mina too… How were we going to get out of this now? I was going to pay for this... I never wanted her to ever have to do this. But this was self-defense, after all…

Oh God, this was just a sheer disaster…

However, I didn't really have time to think about that or anything else.

At the very moment, I could nearly feel my heart pounding in my head, my whole body was numb and I felt so weak. The worst thing was that I was burning deep inside… What was happening to me?

Was I dying?

I didn't know, but soon everything became quiet and darkness was all around me when I closed my eyes.
