Claire`s POV
I took the boat to Mineral Town, while Witch Princess teleported herself to the sprite`s house to explain and ask if she could stay. Before she left, she reminded me of what she told me after she casted the spell "Your life will be the fairytale like you`ve always wanted Claire."
The boat arrived at the docks of mineral town. The beach was nice. The sand was warm and the ocean had a refreshing breeze. My only question was 'Now that I`m here, what the hell am I suppposed to do?' I have no where to go and I don`t know where the hell I`m going to stay. Just when I thought my day couldn`t get any worse it started to rain. Shit.
"Miss?" The man on the boat said kindly.
"Oh sorry. My name is Claire. What did you need?"
"I`m Zach. Well you forgot your bags." He smiled sincerely.
"Oops! Im sorry!" I said while grabbing my bags.
"It`s no problem. So do you know where you will be staying?" He asked.
"Actually, no... and I still don`t know what I will be doing here." I replied honestly.
"Is that so? Well, if you need a place to stay, I heard there is an open farm. You can talk to the mayor about it."
"Really! Thanks Zach! Well I ought to go find the mayor. I`ll see you later!" I said before running off.
"No problem Claire."
A farm huh? Well me and Jack were under ten when our parents died leaving the farm to us and we did fine. I should be good at this! Now if only I knew my way around... I wasn`t sure where to go so I thought the town might be behind the forest.
It rained harder. The wind blew stronger. It was starting to hail too. I`m in the middle of no where and theres a storm. Great.
Then I saw a cave, to be more specific a mine. I could tell with all the rocks that had been smashed and theres no way nature could have formed it like that. Damn... It`s getting cold.
I sat there, wet, cold and most of all lost. Sitting there for hours made me tired...
Gray`s POV
*SMASH*
Yes! I finally found a stupid orchalic! I`ve been in this damn mine for hours!
I walked up the stairs to the top floor to find a blonde haired girl laying on the floor unconscious.
"What the hell?" I shook the girl to see if I could wake her up but she wouldn`t open her eyes the slightest bit. She was ice-cold.
"Come on. Wake up damnit!" I yelled shaking her again. Why the hell is she in here? Wet and frozen solid at that. Then I looked outside. No wonder. There was a freaking storm. I gave her my coat to see if it would help. Afterall I`m not just going to let her die in here. She was starting to warm up. I could tell because she started shivering other than being a cold, lifeless corpse. I just sat there, waiting for the storm to pass.
About an hour later the storm is still going... I looked over at the girl. It looks like she`s getting colder. I took the girl and rested her back against my chest and covered her front with the jacket. I held the girl close, hoping she would wake up soon. There`s something different about this girl. Something that makes my heart race, for whatever reason. I decided to just ignore it. It`s probably just adreneline for trying to save her... yes.. that`s it... I held her tighter and decided to take a nap.
Next chapter is Witch Princess` POV of what was happening when the storm started. Please review! :)
