AN: Sorry about any confusion with the previous chapter! I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, as I was new to . :P So here's the deal. I don't own anything you recognise! I only own Millena Ellisbenski, her dreadful father and the epic plot!

P.S. R&R for more!

Chapter Two.
Scipio's POV

As I wandered the streets of Venice, I felt warmth in my heart. I was 17 and perfectly happy. I was in city I loved so dear. I had everything I needed. My friends: Prosper, Bo, Hornet, Riccio and Mosca. All so close. Despite the merry-go-round not working, I still felt happy. Maybe it was because my father thought I was dead. Maybe it was because I could always live with my friends. Maybe it was becau—

'Hey!' I chuckled at the small girl that had just bumped into my chest and was now sitting on the ground.

'OH! Scuzi! Scuzi!' The girl tried to get up hurriedly but ended up falling over again.

'Here.' I reached out my hand to the girl. 'Need some help?'

'Uh.. Thanks.' She smiled up at me. She looked only a year younger than me. She had very long brownish-blonde hair. Her face was elvish; long and angled. She was tan and thin and definitely wasn't a tourist. She took my hand and I pulled her up.

'Ciao. I'm Scipio. What's your name?' She smiled sweetly and replied.

'Millena. It's nice to meet you Scipio.' So she's Italian.

I looked down and noticed she had dropped her bag. I picked it up and felt just how heavy it was. 'Wow. Where are you going with such a large amount of cargo?' I laughed, but then stopped when I saw the seriousness on her face. 'What's the matter?'

'That's the thing. I really don't know where I'm going. Millena looked as if she was about to cry.

'What do you mean?' I asked, my voice suddenly filled with concern.

'My father's an idiot and I ran away from home, well he's not really my father and I hate him and I thought I could live on my own but I've only been out here for 5 minutes and not only am I lost I have no idea where I was meant to be going anyways. Isn't that silly? Getting lost when you don't know where you were going? I mean nobody would have cared anyways I mean I'm just some orphan girl to all these people what o they care. In fact what do you care you're just some guy that I bumped into I meant why I am even telling you these things, I guess I'm just lonely... I really have no idea where to go or what to do...'

She was breaking down into tears now. I really had no idea what to say. I've only once before had to comfort a hysterical girl. But I guess kissing is a bit improper with someone you just met. And Hornet had just confessed to liking me so I guess it was okay then. Not that that's a problem now, with her and Prop all over each other 24/7. Come-on Scip. Do something!

'I know a place where you can stay.'

'Huh?'

'Yeah. I have a place for you to stay. With food and clothes. You can stay as long as you like.'

'Really?' She smiled brightly, with tears still on her face. I took my finger, wiped one away and smiled.

'Really?'

Scuzi = excuse me

Okay I know its short! But bear with me, the next chapter will be longer!

Review! Or not, it's your life! :)
