Chapter 2
The rain fell softly on Mismo as he walked down the street. It was beginning to get dark out and he didn't have anywhere to go. As he walked, he looked through the windows of the houses he passed. He saw the warm lights and the happy guados inside. He stood still and watched the loving families in their cozy, loving homes. Something he didn't have, and never would.
As he neared the end of the street, he spotted an old abandoned building. He slowly walked up to it and pushed the door open. It was raining harder now. He stepped inside the dark house and shook the water out of his fuzzy black hair. There was one big room that branched off into two smaller rooms with a stairwell in the middle. He saw a faint flickering light coming from one of the rooms. He crept up to the doorway and peered in. There were two young guados, a girl and a boy, huddled together around a small fire in the canter of the room.
"Who's there?"
Said the boy, getting up. He must have heard Mismo come in. The boy looked no older than then he was. His hair was bright orange with black tips and it stuck up in a mohawk.
"I said who's there?!"
The boy asked again. Mismo slowly stepped into the room. Next to the boy sat a girl with long green hair whom was looking down at the fire.
"I..I..is m...Mismo"
A warm smile crossed the boys face as the small guado talked.
" 'Ello Mismo. My name is Tian-koji and this is my sister Neo-koji. Don't be afraid, come sit down by the fire."
Mismo still felt uneasy but what else was he to do. He was cold and wet and the fire looked welcoming. He walked over and sat across the fire from Tian and Neo.
"So, Mismo, what brings you here? I mean, where are your parents?"
Mismo looked into the fire. A single tear rolled down his cheek. He thought about all that had happened lately and what it had led him to.
"I is here because I has nowhere else to go. My parents abandoned me. I is alone now..."
He rubbed his head where he had hit the wall and winced. It still hurt, even now.
"Why you here?"
He asked, looking up at Tian.
"Our house was burned down by a group of humans. Our parents died in the fire. We ran away and now we stay here. It's not a mansion but it keeps us dry."
For the first time since Mismo had gotten there, Neo looked up. Her eyes were ice blue. He thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. She seemed to sparkle in the light of the fire. She smiled at his. Her smile was even more beautiful than her eyes. She spoke in a soft, comforting voice.
"Our brother Drake is out trying to find work. You can stay here with us if you would like. We don't have much to offer but we would love to have you stay."
Mismo smiled at the beautiful girl named Neo. He would do anything for her. Mismo was in love and he knew it too. Everything about her was that of an angel. He thought she must have come from heaven to be that beautiful. He wanted to be with her forever.
"Mismo? You ok?"
He suddenly snapped back to reality. Tian was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. Mismo blushed and lowered his head.
"Ok..."
Then he looked at Neo.
"Neo..."
"Yes Mismo?"
"You is pretty.."
Neo blushed and laughed.
"Thank you Mismo."
She ruffled his hair and smiled. Mismo laughed as she did this and thought that maybe he wasn't alone anymore...
