The man gave her a swift punch to the face and that shut her up. He then dragged her limp body into a carriage and rode off with her.

Hours later she finally woke up. When she did she was in a room filled with gold, purple and yellow items. It was magnificent she thought. However, the pain throbbing in her head made her stop thinking about that, and made her think again about her pain. She may be stuck in a Dynasty Warrior time period, but she didn't think they would all be so mean. She looked around for an exit but only saw one. She slowly walked over to it but as she was getting near she could see the shadow of a tall man. She wondered who it could be.

The man had an interesting looking headpiece that had been decorated with longs feathers. He was tall and was in full armor. He was yelling at some soldiers and it made Hayleigh afraid even more.

"I am so scared..." she whined then sniffled and decided to hide away.

Or so she thought because as she stepped away the floor broke and she fell in the hole that was created in like a minute.

She continued to fall for a few minutes until she landed in a heap of trash and waste. It covered her from head to toe. She began crying loudly when all of a sudden a man appeared from a doorway.

"What the heck are you doing in here?" He yelled to her. She just stood there crying. "Well get out! This isn't your trash!! Stupid foreigner..."

She slowly crawled out of the room where she was quickly met by four handmaids that dragged her away to wash her all up and redressed her, now in a purple outfit. When she was done she slowly walked away when she bumped into the tall man.

From the impact Hayleigh fell down and the large man not only did not notice her but crossed on her. She made squeaks in pain as she got stomped on by the man's large feet. The man stopped for a minute looked down his feet and frowned.

"Rats..." he murmured and walked away.

"I did...not do anything...then...Why...god...WHY!!!!" whined Hayleigh.

"Are you alright my lady...?" asked a gentle voice.

"No... everyone keeps being mean to me! Why is everyone so mean in this stupid country?!?" She looked up to see a small, skinny man with a gentle smile. She sighed and shook her head to apologize. "I'm sorry..."

"No, no, that's alright, I understand. You must not be from around here; usually people here are either very nice to foreigners, or very mean to them. It seems like you are unfortunate with getting the worst people's attentions. But let me introduce myself... I'm Li Ru." He said with a smile on his face.

"Li... Ru?" She asked slowly.

"Yes, I am called Li Ru." he nodded smiling.

"Hm...where have I heard this name...hmmm..." she pondered.

"Is something wrong my lady?" Li Ru asked.

"Um...nothing...just...um..."

"Well anyway, if you would come this way, my lord would like to speak with you." Li Ru motioned towards a large door. She cautiously looked at the door, Li Ru, then the door again. She then decided to follow his instructions and walked inside. He walked up a stairwell and stopped inside a room.

"I know that name sounds familiar... I think he was Dong Zhuo's advisor... but what did he do..." Hayleigh was so busy thinking to herself that she didn't notice Li Ru stop and bumped into him. "Oh, I'm sorry!"

"Think nothing of it, my lord will be ready to see you any moment now... You should see the view of outside that this window has. It is beautiful; you can see across far from here, gardens, trees, and the lake over there, you should look at it." She nodded and walked to the window. She smiled as she noticed all the things he mentioned and more. As she was enjoying the sight she thought more to herself.

"Li Ru... Li Ru... didn't he do something with the emperor... wait Empress He... didn't he throw her out the wind--" She was cut off in mid thought as Li Ru kicked her in the back, tossing her clear out the window.

"Dirty foreigners... they always cause trouble..." Li Ru walked away. Unfortunately for Li Ru, Hayleigh fell into the horse pen and landed in a pile of hay which broke her fall.

Hayleigh groaned in pain as she sat up. Or tried to. She felt so much pain she couldn't.

"Why...are they all so mean!?" she whimpered out loud.

"I promise you that I will give you this carrot if you just sit down. Now...okay boy...be a good boy and sit!" yelled a man.

"Huh? Wha...?" exclaimed Hayleigh but that was her last words for awhile when a large horse sat on her.

"That's a good boy!" laughed the man happily.

He heard muffled screams and asked his horse to stand up as he gave it a carrot. He then saw a girl lying inside the hay.

"What do you think you are doing lying in my horse's hay?? It has to eat that you know!" He glared at her.

"But I wasn't... I was... But you see... I need... AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" She stood up and ran as fast as she could away from him.
