The rain poured down in the darkness of the night, leaving everything drenched and dreary looking. Lightning struck the cool night air with a loud BOOM! There was barely any traffic in the streets of Paris, the streets looked dark and drenched.

In the silents of the night, splashing and the pounding of feet was heard.

Lusa ran with all her strength to get away from the danger of which she escaped from. Her chest and legs burned from exhaustion, and adrenaline flowed through her blood. Her heart pounded in her chest, fear gripped at her mind, and grew with every passing second, you could see it in her countenance. A few tears managed to escape her eyes.

Lusa spotted an alley a few blocks ahead. It didn't seem to be occupied, so she ran as fast as she could, using the last bit of energy she could manage to get to that alley. When she finally reached it, she was exhausted. She could barely breath with the fear all welled up inside of her.

She leaned up against the wall to take a breather, when she finally calmed down, she slid back against the wall, onto the floor. Lusa held her legs tight, tears flowed down her cheeks as she gently whispered...mom. She buried her face in her legs.

Lusa didn't realize, that someone saw her.

Master Fu watched as the girl sobbed alone in the dreary alley. He looked at her with a soft expression and a tiny box in his hand. He gave the box a little squeeze as he stepped away from the alley. Master Fu ponders about the situation. Just then, he was pushed up against the wall with brutal force.

Master Fu gets the air knocked right out of him."Say, mind giving a guy a couple of bucks?" The mugger sneers. It just might save your life. The mugger pulls out a knife.

Lusa dries her tears as she looks up from her legs. She hears someone talking out side of the alley she was currently resting in. She gets up and slowly peers around the corner, her eyes widen with surprise as she witnesses an old man getting mugged buy a guy twice his size. She blindly jumps from the alley and yells,"HEY!" The mugger looks over, with an annoyed expression on his face. Lusa continues,"Leave him alone, or we're gonna have some problems!"

The mugger's annoyed expression suddenly turns into humor as her bursts out laughing. "The only problem here is that a little girl like you is challenging a guy twice your size!" The mugger then laughs even harder.

Lusa takes this opportunity to kick the knife from the mugger's hand, she catches the knife and holds it up to his neck. The mugger immediately stops laughing and throws his hands up in surrender.

"Looks can be deceiving." Lusa then throws the knife in the alley. "Get out of here, before I call the police! "The mugger has a shocked expression on his face as her runs away from that location. Lusa looks to Master Fu. The pouring rain turns into a drizzle, then clears up.

"Are you ok?"Lusa asks.

"Oh quite alright," Faster Fu replies. "Say, what what are you doing out here all alone, where is your family?"

"Uh um, well you see..." Lusa then sighs. "I don't have a family anymore, it's not a subject I feel comfortable talking about," Lusa looks down in sorrow.

"I completely understand,"Master Fu looks at Lusa with a soft expression."Come with me, I just might have a place for you to say." While Lusa follows right beside him, Master Fu secretly slips a box in her jacket pocket.
