Fallen Angel

The sun was setting behind Avoca as she road in this strange country. She wasn't paying attention to what was happening about her. She was in a daze thinking about Richard and when they first met.

It was a beautiful spring evening and there was a grand ball. Avoca was working at this ball serveing drinks. Her tray had eight full wine glasses and a man turned around and ran into her. Spilling all the wine of her clothes. She knelt down and clean the floor then went into the kicten. Then the man came in "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean too. Here." He put her jacket around, because he saw that she was shivering. Avoca smiled at him. "I'm Richard Glenbow." Then he waited for a minute as she stared at him "Whats your?" Avoca looked at the ground smiling, then looked into his eyes "Avoca Van Ember." Richard smiled "It is nice to meet you."

Avoca laughed to herself, it wasn't the most romantic meeting but she still feel in love with him.

"Get out of the way!" Some one yelled. Avoca shook out of her daze and saw people running towards her. Infront was a young man. They were waving there hands like mad. Avoca slowly looked behind her and saw a wolf running right behind her. She jump of the horse and started to run towards the people. The young man looked at her and said "Go into the village, they will protect to you there." Avoca did was she said.

Once she got to the village, she didn't feel protect. They looked upon her like she was their prey.

After a while the villagers came back from fighting the wolf. A women with with long brown hair walked up to Avoca "Who are you? What are you doing her?" she said in a rude tone. The young man then interupted "Anna, do be so mean. You can she that she is harmless." Then he turn to Avoca "I'm Velkan Valerious and this is my sister, Anna." Avoca smiled at him "I'm... Mary Rowen. And I'm here to...umm...start a new life, a new place." Anna gave her a glare "You came her to start over. Bad idea." Velkan looked embaressed "Anna, please." Then turning to Avoca "You can stay with us for a while.

In the Valerious Mansion, Velkan showed Avoca to a room. "You can stay here, till you find your own place." Avoca gave him a quick smile, "Thank you."

Avoca sat on her bed, it had been three weekd since she left home and she was feeling out of place. She play with her long, hair between her fingers. Then she looked at it, then she stood up and locked the room door and went into the bathroom. She stood infront of the mirror and took a knife and cut her hair in layers and she it just fell below her shoulders. Then she took of her clothes and went into a hot bath.

Then she heard someone jiggle on the door nodd to her room. Then there was a loud crash and Anna ran into the room. "I knew you where up to..." Then she stood in the bathroom doorway. "...Up to something." Avoca covered herself with her arms "Excuse me, I am up to something. I'm cleaning myself." Then Anna gave her a glare and walked out of the room.

Avoca dressed herself and went downstairs, she saw Velkan in the study hall. He looked up at her "Mary." then he looked suprised "You look good." Avoca blushed "I need something different." Then she sat down in a chair.

"What are you ranning from?" he asked. Avoca looked around "My future husband was murdered infront of me. I wanted to be in a place that won't remind me of him." Sympathy over came Velkan's face "I'm so sorry." Then her looked around "I don't know if you came to the right place for that. There are monster's here that could harm you." Avoca looked at him in confusion. "Monsters? You mean the wolf" He shook his head "The werewolf, is the least of our worries. There are..." Anna ran in and interupted "Velkan, their here."
