When I woke up, I wasn't outside anymore. I looked around and had no clue where I was.

"Well. . . You're finally awake!" Said a voice that I didn't know. I looked at where it came from to see a man as black as night.

"Wh-. . . Who are you?" I ask shyly, while trying to move away.

I was scared of him. I didn't know him or see anyone I knew. He walked over to me.

"You may call me The Black Prince!" He bowed.

I was shocked.

How could this be? Wait. . . He could help me find Dustfinger and Farid!

"You can call me Lexi. . . Would you by any chance know where Dustfinger and Farid are?"

"Yeah. . . Why do you want to know?" He straightened up and looked at me. I stood up, stood right in front of him and seemed as tall as him as I could which was hard since he's so tall.

"I need to find them." I said. He just stared down at me and that look was starting to really scare me. "Please?" I ask in a little voice.

"Well. . . You are in luck. I'm going into Ombra and there's someone there who might take you to Roxane's, but if not, I will take you."

I got a big smile on my face.

"Really? Thank you so much!" I yelled as I wrapped my arms around him in a hug. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!"

He chuckled a little and pushed me away.

" Alright, alright. . . Now come on. We have to get going." He told me.

I nodded, looked over to find my backpack, picked it up and put it on.

"I'm ready!"

"Wait right there. . . Before we go, you will need to change. People will stare at us with you looking like that. . . After a while, we can get you a dress, but for right now, you can wear one of the other girls dresses. What would you say your best at?"

I stood there, thinking as hard as I could.

"I can sing?" I told him. It sounded like I was asking him, though. He chuckled.

"Okay. . . Come on. I'll get you one."

I frowned at the dress they put me in.

"It's too big. . . I don't like it."

"It will have to do for now. You can get one that fits you later." I kept on pouting, but followed him.

We walked. While we were walking, something big nudged my back, so I stopped and turned around to see a big black bear. Any other girl would run, screaming, but I just gasped and wrapped my arms around his big, furry neck.

"Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Your just as cute as I thought you would be!" I said to him. I had always wanted to see this black bear. The Prince thought it was funny.

"You can ride him if you want. He won't bite unless I tell him to." I looked up at him, smiling like an idiot.

"Really? Can I really ride him?" He nodded. When I got on The Black Bears back, he didn't mind. When I was on, he just walked on. I was so happy.

When we got to the gates, though, he had to stay outside.

"Now, when we go in, hold onto me so you don't get lost, alright?" The Black Prince told me. I got shy again, but I still nodded and grabbed his hand. We walked through lots and lots of people. Mostly women and children.

When we got to the stands, I had to look as we walked past them.

When I saw a stand with a lot of necklaces, I had to go see, so I let go of his hand and ran off to look. I looked at them and I liked them a lot better then the ones in the other world I came from.

"See anything you like ma'am?"

I looked at the lady running the stand. She looked like she was in her early 20's, with a baby in her arms. I looked back down and picked one up.

"I would like this one, please?"

"Mother! She likes the one I made!" A little voice yelled. I looked to see a little girl, about five or so, running over to where I was standing.

"Now, yes she is, but sh. You'll wake up your sister." The lady holding the baby whispered.

I take it that she was talking about the baby who looked no older then a few months old. The mother looked really skinny so they most likely don't have much money and with the food they do have, she gives to the five year old and the rest she must eat to breast feed the baby.

I held up the necklace.

"I will take this one, but I have no money. I do have something that you could use, though." I took off my backpack, dug in it and pulled out all the food I had in there before I had left home. I gave it all to the mom.

"But, miss. . . You don't have to do this!"

"But. . . I do. You have two little girls to feed. Please, take it. I insist."

She smiled at me and nodded.

"Thank you for this!" I stood up and Prince put the necklace around my neck for me.

"Thanks!" I said.

"I thought I told you to hold onto me so you didn't get lost." He glanced down at me.

I froze. I was now in trouble.

"Oops!"

We started walking, again.

"You are very nice. Just a little nicer then Dustfinger and the boy said you were." I looked up at him.

I can't believe it. I could see Farid saying it, but Dustfinger? Wow. Now that really shocked me. He stopped walking and when I looked around, I realized why.

We were in the courtyard.

"Now. . . You stay here while I go look for her. . . And don't move." I nodded. He walked off, leaving me all alone in a crowd of people I didn't know.

"Huh. . . Might as well make some money." I whispered.

First I started singing songs like 'Love Story', 'Our Song' and so on. After awhile, I felt like doing the only magic trick I knew. I took four mint things, hid one up my sleeve and put the other three on the ground.

"Come try to be smarter then me! You can give me money if you want, but if you don't want to then you don't have to!" I yelled. Lots of people played. It took forever for The Black Prince to come back, at least two or three hours.

"Well, she won't do it so come on and I'll take you." I put the mints back, grabbed all my money and held on to The Prince. When we were passing the stand with the necklaces, I ran over and looked at the five year old.

"Do you think you could help me pick a necklace for a friend of mine? I haven't seen him for awhile, so I want to give him a little something." She grinned up at me, nodded and started looking.

She found one and held it up for me to see.

"This one! You should give him this one!"

"Perfect! I think so, too. . . Thank you very much!" I smiled down at her. I reached into my bag and grabbed a cloth bag of coins. I gave it to her.

Me and the Prince started walking away when I heard the mom yell, "Wait! This is too much!"

"No, its not. . . That is for two, after all." I yelled back at her.
