Tisa stepped into another room that was filled with other people. It seemed
to be some sort of auction. The men and women in front of her gasped and
immediately starting calling out higher bids on the mirror. Tisa spun
around and expecting to jump back to the club she just hit the mirror face
first and fell to the floor. She frantically glided her hands over the
solid object and sat there staring at her reflexion, to stunned for words.
The people stopped biding and just looked at her. The man at the pedestal
walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off
and ran out of the room.
She dodged through the crowds in the building and found herself on a village street. People were NOT dressed the same way as she was. The village people stared at her as she walked through trying her best to keep from blushing from embarrassment.
Someone pulled her arm, yanking her back. "Outsider eh? I don't like outsiders so ye best be on yer way out of Little Lamb Town ye hear?" an old man that was missing an eye practically spat.
"Uh. I don't even know how I got here." Tisa replied shakily, as she yanked her arm from his grip.
"Leave her alone ye smelly ol' goat!" a woman shouted as she ran over to Tisa's side.
She placed an arm around her and glared at the old man. The man's mouth was moving but nothing was coming out. The woman guided her into a barn and pushed her ahead of her.
"You havta' watch yeself here. Ever since that law for wolfs bein allowed round here....it aint much safe out there any more. That man was in fact a wolf. Very strange creature really." She said and tossed her a baby blue dress that had a white frill above the cleavage and on the sleeves. Tisa arched an eyebrow at the woman.
"Put it on!" she urged. "You don't want to stand out quite as much as ye do now, now do ye?"
Tisa sighed and placed it onto her lap. "I guess your right. But I would like to keep the clothes I'm wearing now." she added.
"Oh that's fine. There's a pair of shoes over there....somewhere." the woman said shaking her hand at a pile of hay.
Tisa looked at the hay, silent, and motionless. The woman looked at her with her hands on her hips. "Well it can't be that hard. It's not like you'll be searching for a needle in a haystack." and with that said, the woman walked out of the barn. Tisa blinked absentmindedly and stared at the outfit in her hands. She sighed and got up and changed into the outfit. After what seemed like an hour of searching for the shoes she put them on and hesitantly walked out of the barn.
The sun was beginning to set and the fields and hills were beautiful. She hadn't noticed it before but now that she was taking the time to admire it, she saw it. There were several flocks of sheep in the fields that were being chased by shepherdess's. They were wearing the same type of outfit that Tisa was wearing. She wasn't completely fond of it. She walked around a picket fence and found that she blended into the crowd. She was starving but she didn't have any money. Or the kind these people use anyway.
"How the hell did I get myself into this mess?" she asked herself.
"Mess? What did a pretty lady such as your self do to get up in a mess?" someone behind her asked.
She turned around to find one incredibly gorgeous guy standing in front of her. The he walked next to her and she noticed a tail. She gasped and stared at him through stunned eyes.
"What's wrong with you? Haven't you ever seen a wolf before?" he asked smirking.
"Yes....but not...one that looks quite like....you." she said slowly and took a step back.
"There's no need to be afraid. Not all wolves are bad guys. My father was the wolf that saved the 10 kingdoms. His name was in fact...Wolf. As is our species." he said with a slight sound of distaste to his fathers name.
Tisa slowly nodded, not smiling, and absolutely no expression of enthusiasm on her face. She just eyed him suspiciously, which made him a bit uneasy. Tisa's stomach growled loud enough that the stranger could hear. He grinned at her and said, "Hungry?"
Tisa sighed. She looked at the ground and quickly snapped her gaze back up to him with a half smile and nodded. "Yeah. I am actually. The place I went to earlier, my food was either overcooked or not cooked enough." she said.
The wolf chuckled and held out an arm. "Well then I think it's only fair enough that I take you out to dinner." he replied as his lips curled into a thoughtful grin.
Tisa hesitated but then reluctantly took his arm and he guided her into the small town restaurant where they ordered just about everything. After all a wolf has a tremendous appetite and Tisa had a surprising amount of food as well. A group of older men kept a careful eye on the wolf as if they were going to protect Tisa from any possible sudden attack. But that never happened.
After having a talk on their background history Tisa stopped and asked him what his name was. She never had gotten his name yet.
"Names Jaroe." he said and plucked the last bit of meat off of a rib. "And what's yours?" he asked with his mouth full and yanked on another rib.
"I'm Tisa. I'm from New York."
Jaroe stopped and looked up at her with a piece of lamb hanging off the side of his lip. Tisa laughed at him as he licked it aside. "Did you say New York?" he asked.
"....Yeah. Why?"
"Your from the 10th Kingdom!" he shouted pointing a finger at her. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to her, all mouths gaped.
Everyone began to whisper, "She from the 10th kingdom"," How did she get here?"," I thought the last mirror was destroyed."," What do we do?"....it was beginning to make Tisa very uncomfortable. She leaned across the table and whispered harshly at Jaroe, "What the hell was that about!?"
"What?"
"I'm from New York. Not a kingdom!"
"New York IS the 10th kingdom." Jaroe insisted and gave her a look.
"Oh my god, you idiot. You all are!" she shouted and stormed out of the restaurant.
Jaroe ran out after her after paying the waitress and chased her back into the barn. Someone else from the restaurant had gone ahead of Jaroe. When Jaroe got into the barn the man had Tisa pinned to floor and was shouting, "You bloody witch! What do you want!? Why are you here!?"
Tisa was struggling under his strong grasp and was screaming in pain as he tightened his grip on her arms. Jaroe ran over to the man and knocked him to the floor and climbed on top of him. He attempted to bite him but the man blocked his attack with his hand and shoved Jaroe off of him. The fangs began to show in the wolf's mouth and his eyes went red. The man stepped back, somewhat scared and made a run for it. Jaroe growled at the man and his anger subsided. His eyes went back to their normal color and his fangs went away. He turned to a terrified Tisa and took a step towards her. She took a step back in response.
"Listen. I'm sorry you had to see that but I was only doing that to protect you!" he said trying to convince her in the same tone that wolf tried to convince Virginia that they belonged together.
"You stay away from me." she hissed and held up a pitchfork at him.
"You know, my mother did the same thing to my father before she fell in love with him." Jaroe said eyes sort of glaring.
Tisa sighed and calmed herself before she put the pitchfork down. Jaroe kept his hands between the two of them and was breathing heavily. "Now..you do trust me right?"
"No I don't." Tisa spat and plopped herself down onto a pile of hay.
"Ah, huff puff! Why does it always have to be so hard! Every girl I meet. They don't trust me." he sat on an empty water barrel and placed his face in his hands for a few moments then looked back up at her. "And do you know why? Because I'm a wolf that's why! Little shepherdess's....and those sheep so fluffy and...and...." he didn't finish. He just sat there staring off into space.
Tisa gave him a stupid look and laid her head on her arm. Jaroe had been silent for so long that she eventually drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
