It's been a few days. I have no clue where I'm going, and I have nothing to eat.

I also have no money to buy food. That figures.

Ah well. I'm sure I could scavenge some food somewhere.

Continuing on, I started hearing something from behind me. Stopping to listen closely, I realized it sounded like footsteps. My eyes widened in fear-did he actually follow me? No... please no... Please let it be just an animal of some kind passing by... PLEASE...

I kept walking, at a quicker pace.

Then all of a sudden... I tripped.

"Eh? M-miss are you ok!" a voice shouted out as someone raced over to me.

I must have hit my head pretty hard on a rock... I was starting to black out, with my head hurting horribly.

The last thing I saw before passing out was a young man with messy black hair.

I moaned a little, waking up. Putting my hand to my head, I sat up a bit.

Looking around, I noticed I wasn't on a forested path anymore. I was in a room. A bit run down and dim lighted, but still a room.

"Wha..? Where am I?" I asked, though I couldn't see anyone in the room.

"Ah? You're awake?" a young man's voice asked. It was the same that I had heard earlier, when I blacked out.

I nodded, as the man rose out of a box he should NOT have fit into and walked over. He wore really loose cargo pants and a black tank top. His messy black hair slightly covered one of his ruby red eyes, which had bags under them.

"That's good, I was worried about you, princess." the strange man said. he sorta reminded me of a fox for some reason. ... Wait a sec...

"Princess?" I asked, sorta weirded out. I wasn't a princess. ... Was I? .. It'd be easier if I remembered more of my past..

"Yeah- oh wait.. You ARE her, right?" he asked, getting in my face.

"Uhhh...who is her?" I asked, leaning away, since I was still sitting on the bed.

"Why... Her would be none other than Miss Nereza Caprice Volpe, of course. Master Vol's second beloved daughter." he answered in a way that suggested he was a butler-or at least used to be.

"... I .. AM that her, but.. I'm no royalty. .. If I am, please.. explain how. But first- who are you?" I said.

"Ah, I'm sorry! I'm DM. Yea I know, strange name. But that's beside the point. You're a princess- that was abandoned nearly five years ago, due to.. complications." the man, known as DM, explained. I didn't realize the royalty thing was actually a cover up for something else. Something they wanted to keep secret from the world at the time.

"What sort of complications?" I asked.

"Ah, nothing important really! .. Ok, maybe it was sorta important BUT. ... -It's classified info." DM said.

"Ok." I said after sighing. "So where am I?"

"You're in a hotel. It's not fancy but hey, it works." DM said.

"I thought I was a princess-don't those have lots of money?" I questioned.

"Er-...well, yea... Usually.. But the family's been scattered and lost and so... We have no money." he explained. "But anyways, we should be moving on."

He gently grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet before leading me out of the room. He was... quite a gentleman, I must say.

Author's Note: SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT.

Yea... I was writing it in my notebook and stuff, and from the way things were going in it... I HATED IT ... I kept getting watches and stuff, so I decided to continue-just with a different storyline than the original.

Anyways, I hope you guys like!
