I waited in the inn as Stella was out training.

It's so boring! I really want to explore the town, well it's more of a city I guess. I pace around the room but couldn't think of something to entertain myself.

Maybe I could put on my cloak and explore this kingdom a bit? She did say to stay in here but this boredom is too much for me. This world doesn't have any entertainment like my old world did.

I would decide I would explore and put on my cloak and head outside. I exit the inn and walk into the streets of this fantasy kingdom. In the background there was a large castle, stores and stands were at the sides of the road.

I was excited to walk around and actually get a chance at this fantasy-like world. Being in that room was way too boring and felt like my last life. I needed some fresh air.

I wondered if there were dragons, elves, and other crazy creatures in this world. My interest in this world was rising more than it was before.

I walked around the kingdom and watched the interaction of people in the streets. It got boring after a while so I decided to start to walk back to the inn before she came back.

I made my way back but I wasn't paying attention and bumped into someone and fell back on the ground.

I got up and apologized but I froze when I looked at the person.

White hair, pale skin, white clothes, almost like robes, he looked like a young man.

He looked down at me being way taller than me. His face then turned to disgust. His face made my body tremble and my heart pound hard.

Why was I so terrified by him from a look. I then noticed my hood came off. It must have happened when I fell on the ground.

“Huh, red hair, red eyes and pointy ears… Hmm your no human are you? Are you a monster sent to cause trouble in our kingdom? That must be it so, your planning on attacking the citizens of the kingdom right?” The man said without giving me a chance to speak. Who is this guy.

I wasn't able to speak as I was too scared to. This guy was just assuming things from looks alone, is he crazy or something.

Others would be looking our way but wouldn't get near us, like they were used to this happening. Now I know what Stella was talking about. I shouldn't have gone outside. I'm scared.

“Hey, you just going to stand there, or are you going to attack me?” He said. I looked at him confused, did he just ask me to attack him.

I just stood there frozen, my body was shaking and my legs were about to fall apart on me.

“Huh… Nothing? Fine I guess i'll have to make the first move” He would begin to walk up to me. He walked up and close to me, glaring at me with so much violence with that calm looking face.

He raise his hand in the air, with his fingers straight out. My body refuses to respond to my crys to run. The next thing I knew, his hand was down to his waist on the other side of body. Like he swung his hand, he was wiping his hand off now.

I would then stumble back as the shaking of my body got worse. It wasnt just shaking from fear now. I would look down and see blood pouring from a slash in my chest.

My eyes were shaking as I looked at the slash. My mind was scrambling on what to do. I would collapse backwards. The man just stared at me, like I was just an insect that he had to get rid of.

“Huh, were you really that weak? You didn't even notice me swing at you” He said unamused.

My vision was getting blurry and I was losing consciousness. Was this it… I just got started in this world. I don't want it to end now.

I'm scared, I’m s-scared… Someone help me, it hurts, it hurts…

My body was screaming in pain as I lay on the ground. It was hard to breathe and blood was dripping from my mouth.

The man was standing next to me and staring down at me.

“So the monsters already down? I guess I should be kind and end your suffering” Everyone in the background was just watching. Some didn't seem to care, and some could have cared but didn't want to risk their lives on helping a stranger, I can't really blame them.

He would raise his hand and swung his hand down right at me. I closed my eyes as it came at me. A sound of something like metal being hit, echoed out. I slowly opened my eyes.

Stella was in front of me, her staff was used to block the hit. But the staff was slammed against her forehead and on one knee due to the man's hand slamming into it. Blood poured down her forehead, my body shook from fear that she was badly hurt.

“A-are y-you ok?” She stuttered out.

My body was frozen still, my vision started to blur as I lost consciousness.

What happened? Is she ok? Was this my fault? Do I deserve someone as kind as her?

I would awaken, opening my eyes and looking around. I was in a room filled with books and all sorts of magical looking items.

“Oh you're awake” an unfamiliar voice says to me.

I would look over to where the voice came from. It was a young man with silver hair in a magician's clothes.

“Uh, who are you?” I asked him.

“Oh my apologizes, I'm Stella's teacher, you may call me Agilan”

“Ok, may I ask where I am, Agilan?”

“You are in my study”

“Oh ok, so what happened?”

“Well, I was walking with Stella and she just ran away out of nowhere and saved you from Raymon, one of the strongest knights in the kingdom. Your lucky I was there or she would have just been killed with you” He said.

“Yeah… Thank you for that” I then realized.

“Wait, where is Stella?” I was worried if she was badly injured because of me.

“I just started treating her. She told me to treat you first” He says. “I'll show you to her if you'd like, but your injuries are still healing so take it easy” He would then lead me to her. The wound was hurting a bit but felt a lot better than when I first got it.

I walked into the room where she was, she was laying on a bed asleep. She had bandages wrapped around her face which covered most of it.

My body shivered at the view of it, it was my fault this happened to her. The guilt was eating at me. I was a naive fool who didn’t take either of what they said seriously.

“So, when will she recover?” I asked him.

“With my magic, she should be recovering soon”

“Ok…” I said pondering on what I’ve done.

“May I ask a question?’ I said.

“Sure”

“How do you feel about monsters?” I had a hard time letting that out, I was rubbing my fingers together to help ease my nervousness.

“Ah, that's a logical question to ask considering the kingdom your in. My opinion doesn't trump my student’s safety, but to let you know my opinion on monsters is if they cause harm to others, then they are bad. As simple as that” What he said reassuring me.

“Ok… I was just curious that's all, thank you for helping me… and Stella”

We would end that awkward conversation there. I would be thinking about what I should do, the thought of running away so I cant cause her trouble came to my mind a few times. But is that really the right thing to do? Runaway from my problems?

My mind was in a panic about what to do, I'm just a regular girl that was thrown into this world of course I wouldn't know what to do.

I was on the verge of breaking down. Agilan would then walk back up to me.

“I can tell you're blaming yourself for Stella getting hurt. It's ok to blame yourself in reason so you can grow from it. But if you blame yourself too much, it ends up only hurting everyone you care about”

His words made sense, I calmed down a bit and was able to think clearly about this. I decided to not run away from my problems and aimed to better myself over this.

“Thank you, Agilan”

“It's no problem, I’m a teacher, it's what I do” He said to me.

After a few hours, Stella would regain consciousness and rushed to her balling out and screaming sorry to her.

She would simply smile and accept my apology.
