Little Angel

Chapter 1

The vixen looked up from where she was sitting. She didn't know from where she had ran but she knew she did it fast. The rain was now coming down hard and her mangled yellow hair was matted to her head and face. At times she couldn't tell if they were raindrops or tears. It stung her eyes a bit and she now did find herself crying. She did not recognize the area she was in now. She did know if she did not find shelter something was going to happen to her. Something bad she had always assumed. Her mother had warned her about being on the streets and now as she saw the streetlights softly flicker on and off trying to fight their way on she knew it was night. For the small vixen it was hard to tell because of the grey clouds the loomed overhead though she could see a break in some of them allowing small sparkles of light shine though. Another big reason for her not to be out and walking about in these streets was that she knew nothing of the area. All she saw was tall buildings looking down on her. She soon stood up and started walking. Her bluish-greenish jacket she was wearing barely did anything to shield her from the cold, but it was all she had.
After a while she came to an inn. It was small the carpets were a dark red and the walls the same color. The lights from what she could see were a bit dim, because of this it did not take her too long to adjust to the light as she came in from the outside. She walked inside her feet made a loud noise as the wet shoes hit the carpet. She soon looked up as she walked closer the man that was standing at the front desk saw her turned his face at her.
"Get out of here. We don't have space for people like you." She looked at him. People like her? She did not understand what the meaning of that was. "I said get out of here." Without a single word from her the vixen walked back outside into the cold and darkness that awaited her. For the next three hours she wondered the streets in the wind and rain looking for a place to stay. Finally giving up she went to a nearby alley and found a newspaper. She shivered in pain as the cold now reached down past the shield of her fur. She could not understand how this had all come to pass. Using the newspaper as a blanket she pulled it onto herself she found a small box and shielded herself from the rain and softly cried herself to sleep.

The next morning the rain had stopped. She was glad of that and she once again started on her way. Now with the sun up and the sky clear she could see where she was. It was indeed a place she had never been to before. Not with her parents when she was younger and in all her travels she had never come to such a city. With the rain and water gone the place looked even more depressing then with the rain. The streets were half covered with trash and the alley she had slept in was a home to rats. She shook softly thinking that one of the creatures could have used her as a pillow. She then started making her way down the street. Even though the sun was out it was still cold. Very cold and she could feel it down to the bone. Thanks to the rain she was soaked and the cold felt ten times worse then what it should. Once again she found herself crying softly.
While crossing the street a car came zooming down the street. It seamed to come out of no where and the vixen was so startled that she froze. The next thing she knew she was blacking out face down in the street.
"Hey kid wake up!!" She opened her eyes to find herself in a somewhat soft bed. A pink vixen with red hair looked down at her. "It took you long enough I though you would never wake up. You know you shouldn't be walking in the street. That's how you get killed." The vixen sat up. She shivered a bit still seeing she was in her normal wet clothes. The woman sighed. "I guess you're cold huh?" She walked over to a closet and pulled out a robe." Put this on." She threw it to the girl. The young vixen looked at it. "What? Were the same its not like I haven't seen it before." The vixen then stood up and started to undress. She allowed her clothes to fall to the ground with a sloppy flop thanks to the rain. The woman started at her .Letting her eyes fall up and down the girl." You know you have a pretty good shape to be so young. "The vixen turned and looked at her after putting the robe on "I like you kid. I like you a lot so I'm gonna help you."

"Help me..?"

"Yes, so what's your name?"

"Serenity… My name is Serenity."

"Such a sweet name for a sweet girl. Well my name is Crystel and I own this hotel here." Serenity turns and sees that indeed she is in a hotel of some sort. "You know being around here if your caught outside with nothing to protect you, you can be killed." Crystel smiled as she saw the vixen shake softly in fear. "Don't worry, I'll let you stay here, but you have to be a maid here in the hotel. So I'll give you tonight and you better be up and ready in the morning or your going out." She goes to the door and then turns around. Oh and don't get used to this. You won't be sleeping in this room." She closes the door. Serenity stood up and walked over to the window. It wasn't the best hotel she had ever seen but it wasn't the worst. What should she do? It is not like she had no where else to go. She sighed softly and went back to the bed and found herself crying softly. It was the only way she knew to make herself feel a bit better about the situation she was in now, though deep down she felt it was all hopeless.

The next morning Serenity has a rude awaking as Crystel goes into the room.
""Wake up Serenity! You got work to do! "Serenity jumps up and sees her. " Come on girl. There are a lot of people who have dirty rooms and someone has to clean them." As Serenity stands up she has clothes thrown at her. It is a purple maid's outfit with a white apron. "Here your wearing this and as son as you get dressed come to the main lobby. A girl named Jasmine will help you. And you will address me as Ms. Crystel. Do I make myself clear? Serenity bows and shakes.

"Yes Ms. Crystel." The woman leaves out the room and Serenity looks out the window and sighs. "I'm alone…." After a while Serenity walks downstairs and sees a light purplish pink vixen. The girl turns and looks at her.

"Oh, you must be the new girl." Serenity shakes her head yes. Well you better come on so I can get started." They both start up to the highest floor. "Now this is how it goes your new so you get the top five floors. Go through each room and knock to make sure no one is inside. Clean the rooms make the bed and restock everything." Serenity looks at the large cart in front of her. "Don't worry it gets easier to push that thing round. You know you're lucky. Crystal doesn't let anyone work in here. You have to have a certain quality in you. Then again it looks like you do." Jasmine starts to walk to the elevator. "Oh and try to do it in a good time. Crystel doesn't like slackers." She gets on the elevator and leaves off the floor. Serenity just shook and nodded softly taking in all that was told to her. She was afraid of what to do. If she messed up she would be back out on the streets where it was cold and wet.
