FD: just for the record, I don't like Robert, or Enrique. I like Johnny, but my friend wanted me to let her have him, and my other friend likes Oliver, so I got stuck with Robert. Okay, that was just for the record.
Sarah woke up in a dark area, her body hurting all over, her luggage was gone, her flesh bruised and scathed. She couldn't move, her money was gone; her cell phone was a few feet away from her. Where was she? Her vision kept drifting in and out of focus, so she couldn't see. Her body grew numb quick, painfully numb, feeling vanishing from her body. Was she going to die here? If someone didn't come soon, she might. It was possible. She drifted into black ness, and soon everything vanished from her body, feeling, pain, and tears of pain.
Something cold and wet was patting Sarah's forehead. The blackness quickly vanished and she opened her eyes. Over her was a boy of fifteen with a weird purple hairstyle and silver eyes. He smiled to see her conscious.
"Good, you're awake. I was worried for you for a second," he said. He walked away, but Sarah sat up and looked at him.
"Where am I? Who are you? What happened?" she asked. He turned to her and smiled.
"My name is Robert. You are in my home, a castle on the south side of Germany. You were... you were raped and mugged," he said.
"I was what?!" Sarah cried, tears streaming in her eyes.
"Well, almost. I was in England when I found a guy beating you. I pulled him off you before he could do anything else. I'm sorry," he said. He turned from her. Sarah couldn't believe it. No one has ever risked his or her life to try to save hers. This stranger did something she could never repay him for.
"I'm...I'm Sarah. Thank you for rescuing me," she said. Robert smiled at her.
"You should get some rest. Those were very serious wounds, took a lot of your strength," he said. He turned out the light of the room she was in and closed the door. Sarah leaned her head back down and slept peacefully.
The sun streamed in through the glass doors that lead out to the balcony of Sarah's room, waking the slumbering teenager up. She opened her eyes and looked around. The room was so lovely, so beautiful; a Victorian gothic room with an enormous fireplace, a queen sized Victorian bed and an enormous bureau. It looked like a room fit for a queen. On top of the dresser was a set of clothes.
Sarah got out of bed and walked over to the balcony. She opened it and stepped out onto the balcony. The morning sun looked so elegant, causing the scenery below her to look so marvelous. No way! Was she in a castle? She was! This was awesome! Below her in the enormous courtyard where a huge tennis field was, was the boy who saved her, Robert. He looked up at the balcony and waved to her. She smiled and waved back.
She walked back into the room, leaving the balcony doors open to make it lovelier. She dressed into the clothes that were on the dresser, which was a black t-shirt along with a pair of jeans. These must have been the boy's because they were big on her. But she didn't have any clothes or nothing seeing how the person who mugged her last night took everything.
She walked out of the room and found herself in a huge hallway. She expected everything to be huge, seeing how it was a frickin castle! She approached a stairwell and walked down it. She had been walking on the stairs for fifteen minutes when she thought of a better idea. She leaned against the railing, her legs hanging over them, and she was rushing down on the railing, like as if it was a slide and soon enough reached the very first floor. She laughed as it came to an end, forgot to stop and flew into the air. But instead of hitting the ground, she was caught in the arms of Robert.
"Thanks," she said. "That's twice now that you've saved my life."
"Listen, I was just heading to breakfast. Would you like to join me?" he asked.
"Sure, I'd be flattered," Sarah said. She followed Robert into an enormous dining room. It was so huge, able to seat up to fifty people. "Wow."
"Oh, this, it's just the smallest table in the house," Robert said, pulling out a chair to Sarah. She smiled and sat down in it. He smiled and sat next to her. Suddenly, a chef walked in through the double doors behind her and placed a bowl of fruit in front of them. Sarah had never seen such service. As more and more people came through the double doors, placing food on the table, Sarah's appetite disappeared quickly. She didn't know what to do.
"Dig in," Robert said. Sarah just stared at the table. She suddenly stood up and walked out of the room. What the hell was wrong with her?! Why was she acting so uncouth? She ran through the doors of the castle that lead out to the courtyard and ran out into it. She felt tears form before her eyes. She flopped down to her knees in the grass and allowed a tear to fall from her eyes. Why was her life so complicated? Why was it so hard to live right for her?
"Sarah, are you alright?" a voice asked. Robert placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him and she smiled.
"My life's so complicated, so dramatic, I just want to live a normal life, like everyone else," she said.
"No one lives a normal life, Sarah. Look at me, I live in a huge castle filled with hundreds of servants, yet I live all alone," Robert said.
Sarah smiled, he was right. No one lives a normal, perfect life. If there was anyone like that, the Earth wouldn't be the way it is. Everyone's lives are different. Her life was different from Robert's, his was different from Yuji's, hers was different from Tiffany's, whose life was different from Ines's. No one lived a normal life.
"Robert, is there any way for me to repay you for what you have done?" she asked. Robert looked at her then his cheeks grew red.
"Um...let me take you out on a day of shopping?" he asked.
"No, I don't want to be a burden," Sarah said. Robert grabbed her hands and stared into her eyes. She blushed slightly and smiled.
