I'm really sorry for the late update. I'm fully stuffed with school works -_-

Anyway, I changed the summary because the last one was written in a bit hurry. Though it's really obvious which chaotic guild it is :p

Thank you for the alerts, favs, and reviews. I really appreciate them :D

So, enough on the rambling. Let's get on to the story, hope you enjoy~

Freeee~dom ! I yelled in my head, preventing myself to yell on top of my lungs as a huge smile broke into my face. Excitement and adrenaline rushed through my blood. Contentment. The bubbly feeling of relieve. It all felt like releasing a heavy burden. The feelings I've always wished and longed for.

I've told Gemini to take my place in my bed, but it seemed it only took 10 minutes or so. At least they knew I'm in bed ten minutes before my runaway. Correction. Departure. But certainly, because of their ability to copy one's thought, they also knew to go to the bathroom in the last minute and leave the lights on, so everyone would think I was in the toilet.

I sighed in joy as I feel the grass touching my sneakers and the tip of my black jeans . My golden locks flapped on my back. The orphanage is located on a green hill surrounded with beautiful meadows with 2 villages in the west and the east.

And on the south is a big forest with tall trees. Shadow of trees began to line up in the dim moonlight. This is it. East Forest.

I ran into the forest, but tried to remain silent. Who knows what kind of creature will gobble me up for disturbing their beauty sleep? I don't even know why I chose to run to a forest. I might get lost. But my intuition, or I should say, my instinct, told me so. And I've never doubted my instinct. They're always right somehow, okay mostly. I listened to sound of the forest. Crickets chattered, followed by slight rustle of the grassy ground being stepped by my dark-blue sneakers, then there's a slight flap of wings and owls hooting softly. You may think that it's terrifying to hear that kind of noise in the middle of the night. But I found it very beautiful, peaceful, so... free.

Thanks to geography, I knew that if I continued to move towards the west, I'll see a town. What I didn't know is how long? Until the sun rises? But I didn't care much, as long as I'm far away from the orphanage. The image of Ms Lily then appeared in my mind. A tall beautiful woman with raven hair tied into a bun smiling warmly. What would she say if she found me missing after her trip? What would she feel? Knowing Ms Lian, maybe she would tell her that I've been adopted by a nice couple, or so I hope. But maybe Ms Lily would feel relieved to be free from a problematic girl like me.

Ms Lily is like a mother figure to me. She always knew when I can't go to sleep and would read me a story while the others were asleep. She hugs me when I feel troubled and whispers soothing words though I never told my problems. And there's Ms Noel. She's like a sister. She's really funny and I always laughed at her jokes. She always told me about her dream to be a patissiere. I'm one of her closest friend because the other kids were never bothered to talk to her.

But in exchange of everything they had done, I left them. I wiped my tears from flowing with my hoodie. It really hurts to leave them, but I don't want to trouble them. I'm really sorry. I will find a place where I belong, a place where I can be useful and accepted, then I'll come to see you both, I promised myself.

"Follow your heart and you'll know where it belongs," I smiled as I remembered what my Mom used to say.

For some reason, I don't remembered much about mom. I know that she died 3 years ago when I was 10 because of a sickness. I remembered her tender smile, her gentle voice, her soft golden locks when she leaned to kiss my forehead every night.. The rest were fuzzy and blurry, but I knew I loved her so much and I missed her.

I didn't know how long I had run, but my feet were starting to give away. I stopped and sat between roots of an oak tree to rest my feet for a while. It was still dark, no sign of sun rising. The wind blew and I started to shiver. I'm never really immune to cold, even if I had worn my warmest hoodie. I searched through my backpack and took out a bottle of water. I drank half of it. I put the lid back on the bottle when I noticed something.

It was silent. Too silent. Yes, I am alone. But, the crickets had stopped bickering, owls had stopped hooting, and strangely the wind had stopped too. My spine flinched and I felt eyes on my back. I turned my head to check but there was nothing.

I had a bad feeling. A really bad feeling. Someone or something is nearby. And I'm quite sure it was dangerous.

I slowly stood up and tried to remember what Ms Lian had said about this forest. I took one step. The ground rustled, but it wasn't the sound of sneakers. My chest started to beat faster. I took one more step silently...Rustle. Oh no. Rustle. Run ! My inner voice yelled.

I started to run, not caring how much noise I made. Because clearly, I had woken up something. I could feel that 'something' started to chase behind me. I could feel it approaching. I panicked and didn't see where I was going. Then, bump ! My left feet hit or practically tripped over something. I stumbled as I lose my balance. I hit the ground and tumbled along the steep 'circuit'. My arms and legs started to bleed as they collided against the rough soil and stones. Then I stopped tumbling. My vision started to blur with pain. In my poor vision I heard the stomps of that something approaching me, whatever creature it was. Shakily, I tried to stand on my feet. I built up my courage ignoring my pounding head as I ruffled my pocket, picking a key. I yelled and waved a golden key, "Gate of the Lion, I open thee !" Instantly a ray of golden light shines as a orange-haired teenage boy appeared. He's wearing a pair of blue shades and black tux with white shirt and red tie underneath.

"Good night my lovely princess. Why did you call me in the middle of the-," his charming smile faded as he saw my bruises, "Are you alright ? What happened to you?" His brows twitched with worry as he frowned.

"I'm fine Loke," I gave him a weak reassuring smile, my head started to spin again. I guessed my head hit something on the fall. I pointed at the direction of the creature. As my vision became clearer, my eyes widened with realization as I recognized what it was. A forest Vulcan.

"Playing catch with me, little girl? If I win, then be my wife." He snickered. I almost choked. A-a pervert and a lolicon(?)

" I would never hand over my Princess." Loke charged in with golden light glowing from his fist. Unfortunately the Vulcan was quick to dodge.

"She is my Princess !" He folded his giant hand into fists and nearly hit Loke. He continuously hit the ground, but Loke continued to dodge.

"Over my dead body !" This time, Loke's eyes flicked with anger and an extremely large and bright beam flew over the vulcan and hit him.

"You...How dare you ?" The vulcan stood on his feet glaring, he uprooted a giant tree and began to swing it towards Loke's direction. Oh no, not good.

He swung it countless times, and at one point it hit Loke. "Loke !" I yelled as he was thrown aside and hit the ground, his face showed pain. The vulcan started to walk towards me, I took a step backward.

"I'll catch you, my soon-to-be wife. Come here, don't be shy~." My feet started to tremble. What should I do ? I can't summon two spirits at a time, and if I can what if they get hurt too? Loke's hurt, and I'm standing here helplessly. I'm really no use, just like he said. My hand unconsciously searched through my pocket and I feel a familiar texture, my whip ! Without thinking, I threw my whip around his gigantic feet and he tripped. He roared as he tried to stand up. I was going to run to check on Loke when I saw him attacking the vulcan from the corner of my eyes. And with that last attack, the vulcan was out.

"Are you okay Loke ?" I observed him. He only got a few scratches, I sighed in relieve.

"I'm perfectly fine," he smiled," I should be the one asking you that, my princess", his eyes showing concern.

"I'm fine...and I told you not to call me that !" I felt my face to warm up slightly.

"Every cute girl should be called a princess. See, you're extra cute when you're blushing." He smirked.

"I AM NOT BLUSHING. Anyway, you should go back Loke, to treat your wound."

"But I can't let you be alone in this dangerous forest. What if you meet a perverted ape again?" He said in an annoyed tone, pointing at the huge lump he had beaten recently, "Besides, what about your bruises?"

"Don't worry, I brought plasters ! See?" I showed him, "And I've told you, I want to be independent!" I smiled.

Loke seemed to be thinking for a while, "Fine.. but if anything comes up, call me and I'll save you," he winked and I rolled my eyes.

"Sure, thanks a lot Loke." And with that, he disappeared.

Fearing the ape may wake up, I ran quite far enough until I found a pond. I sat under one of the trees nearby and treated my wounds with plasters. What a lucky girl I was to be proposed by an ape, I huffed. Rumble~ Oh well, time to eat. I took out the brown paper bag Ms Noel had given me and started munching my honey bread. I looked up to the sky. It's still dark huh, I thought. I observed the dark blue sky, stars covering it, twinkling like diamonds. I always loved to see stars and I memorized all the constellations. They said when the people you love died, they became a star to keep watching those who were alive. I always believed that Mom has became a star too and she keeps watching me. "Don't worry Mom, I'm fine," I smiled at the brightest star. The star began to twinkle as I spoke. I missed you Mom. Before I could say it, sleepiness took over me as I fell into a deep slumber.

How is it ? It's the longest chapter I've made, but I'm really sorry if it sucked :(

I'll try to update once a week on weekends or on Friday because well, school has started *sigh*.

But if you review more, maybe I'll update faster :p (just saying)

And.. which one do you prefer ? The demonic Mirajane or the innocent one ? Because I'm going to 'introduce' you to the members of the chaotic guild on the next chapter (spoiler :p)

Please let me know which one do you prefer by reviewing, and please leave some comments :)
