Chapter 1: A girl and a stranger

A young girl was walking outside through a small village that she lived in. She just wanted to go for a small walk to clear her mind for a little while. Mia Laweit was a Twenty one year old young woman, with short black and auburn brown hair in a choppy style, which framed her small face very well, grey sparkling eyes that would look innocent to anyone that gazed their eye's upon them, and a tall slender figure that Mia was quite conservative about.

Mia was an attractive gir,l but very shy and timid around boys and men her age. She wished she could be as confident as the other girls in her village. Most of them could just approach a man with no problem and chat to them like they had known them forever.

Mia's style of dress was different from most of the women in the village. Being an emo punk rocker or even a Goth as people call it, others can sometimes get the wrong idea. Thinking that this style of dress is creepy or scary, even though if you're an open-minded person you would think nothing of it.

People thought of her as weird and strange. She was also quiet because of a secret that she didn't want people to know about. The young woman had the ability to read objects out of books. This was first discovered when she was reading Charlie and the chocolate factory as a young child. Mia had wanted to taste the chocolate from the book she was reading. And once she read out loud all of a sudden a Willie Wonker chocolate bar had appeared on her lap.

Mia didn't want anyone else's to know about her gift, so she kept quiet about it. Only her Mother, and Father knew about it. She sighed at the thought, and continued walking.

"How could anyone accept someone who can read objects out of books? it's so bizarre", she thought to herself.

She continued walking down the street by some girls who started sniggering at her as she walked past.

"Oh look it's that weird girl who doesn't say anything".

"Yea what a total freak", another girl replied smirking.

Mia felt a rush of anger surge though her, but decided to keep on walking and ignore them. She had come to deal with the insults and comments towards her and tried not to think much of it, although deep down it really upset her.

Books where one of the things that bought happiness into her life. Just to read about things that made you feel like you'd rather be in the actual book than the world you live in. Mia sat down by a nearby bench and got her sketchbook out of her pink and black skull shoulder bag she frequently used. She had liked drawing since she was a child and nothing pleased her more than just to spend hours working on her art.

All of a sudden a small creature came out of a bush and made its way towards her."Bloody hell! what are you"? The creature was a small rodent with weasel like features, and small horns on its head. Also believed to be known as a marten. The marten looked up at her with small but cute dark eyes.

"I'm sorry but I don't have any food to give to you", Mia said."But you've given me an idea for a drawing, you're so cute!"

The marten turned its small head at her and just sat down relaxing in the warm weather.

Mia began to sketch on the blank sheet of paper taking in all of the marten's features. An hour later she was done.

"That's pretty good", said a man's voice from behind her.

"Ahhhh! What the hell!" Mia screamed."Where the bloody hell did you come from?"

The man stepped back," Sorry I didn't mean to scare you, my names Dustfinger".

"It's ok don't worry about it, nice to meet you My names Mia" the girl replied politely.

"Nice to meet you too Mia, I see you have met my marten Gwin".

"Awesome, does he belong to you?" Mia asked

"Yes, Gwin is my best friend and marten" Dustfinger replied.

"That's so cool", she replied. "He is adorable! May I pet him please?"

"Yes, just don't tickle him and he won't bite you, Dustfinger replied smiling.

"Thank you", Mia replied. She bent down on her knees to Gwins level and started stroking him on his little horned head. Gwin seemed to like the attention and climbed on her sniffing her, and eventually rested on Mia's lap.

"He seems to like you ", Dusfinger said. "He usually doesn't like many people".

"He is a clever little thing isn't he?" Mia smiled looking up at Dusfinger. The man was quite tall, with wavy messy blonde hair, bright pretty blue eyes that sparkled in the sun, and tan healthy also noticed the two scars that ran down his handsome face, but looked away quickly trying not to be rude.

"I see you noticed my scars?" Dustfinger asked.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to stare at them" Mia apologized quietly.

Dustfinger looked upon the young girl. She was certainly pretty with her dark hair, light eyes and porcelain pale skin, but she came across as quite timid and less confident than she should have been.

"It's ok don't worry about it, everyone notices scars it's only natural to look at them".

"If you don't mind me asking how did you get them? They look as though they were quite deep", she said.

"A man who was jealous of me cut my face out of anger and hatred towards me", Dustfinger replied.

"That's horrible!" Mia replied. "How could anyone be that cruel?"

"There are many cruel people in this world Mia, and Basta isn't the only one".

"Basta?" Mia asked. "I'm guessing he is the one that did that to you?

"Yes,". Dustfinger replied. "He has a thing for knives".

Mia shuddered at the thought." That sounds creepy".

Dustfinger laughed "Yes, I guess you could say Basta is creepy, he is also very superstitious. He is scared of curses, bad luck, and bad breath because one girl told him he had bad breath when he was going to kiss her".

Mia burst out laughing "Wow that's a hilarious, at least you know his weakness", Mia smiled.

"Yes", Dustfinger smiled. "He squeals like a girl when he sees a black cat. For someone who has a knife he can be quite cowardly at times".

"I agree, that is rather ironic", Mia laughed." "May I ask why you are out here?"

"Nothing much really, I just travel from place to place "Dustfinger replied.

"I wish I could do that but I don't have the money or confidence to go out on my own like that yet", Mia sighed.

"Why do you have such low confidence?" Dustfinger asked.

"I guess because that's just my personality", Mia replied. Not wanting to tell the mysterious man the real reason she didn't open up to many people.

"Well you should have more confidence", Dusfinger replied stroking a piece of Mia's short hair. "You're very pretty".

Mia couldn't believe what she was hearing. She felt her cheeks burn up.

"Err ...thank you", she said shyly not looking him in the eye.

"You're welcome! it's the truth", he said while letting go of her ebony strands, and letting it fall back into place".

"I'm not trying to flirt with you or anything Dustfinger, but you're attractive also even with the scars", Mia replied shyly.

Dustfinger laughed," Why thank you Mia, it's been a while since anyone has complemented me".

Mia looked down at her watch." Oh crap I'm going to be late for dinner! Sorry Dustfinger but I have to go now".

"It's ok I understand", he replied. "It was nice meeting you Mia".

"Wait! Before I go here take this," said Mia handing him the drawing of Gwin.

Dusfinger blinked. "You want me to have this?"

"Of course", Mia replied. "You're my friend now so I insist you have it".

Dusfinger gave a small smile "Thank you very much Mia, you're a very nice young lady".

"Cheers", Mia smiled. "It was nice talking to you as well. Ill hopefully get to chat to you again sometime soon! goodbye".

"Goodbye", Dustfinger replied watching her run down the village street, feeling a pit of despair in his stomach for the series events that were going to soon come to this girl.
